Chapter 30 Officially-affiliated gangsters

After listening to Lin Wei's introduction, Jiang Yu roughly understood what kind of department the City Planning Bureau was.

To put it bluntly, it's a hodgepodge of related departments.

Isn't unauthorized construction the same as illegal construction?

They build houses without proper permits or occupy land for business without authorization.

This should be the job of the urban management or land bureau.

Foreign objects refer to invasive alien species.

Is this the work of customs?

Let's look at the daily work of the patrol team—strolling around the city, discovering strange buildings, plants, animals, and objects…

Isn't this just looking for those who slipped through the net?

For example, some illegal constructions that the urban management and land bureaus failed to discover.

For example, certain illegal invasive alien species may sneak in.

Humans are not machines; they cannot be 100% error-free.

The relevant departments certainly don't have the time or energy to hire a group of people to patrol the streets all day.

The city planning bureau played this role.

To be precise, it's the inspection section of the city planning bureau.

Jiang Yu didn't know what the other departments' work entailed.

Anyway, his job is "gai liuzi" (with editing).

Thinking about it carefully, the nature of the patrol department's work is somewhat similar to that of the legendary Chaoyang masses.

However, the Chaoyang masses are volunteers, while he receives a salary.

After Lin Wei finished introducing the basic structure of the Planning Bureau, she closed the folder and glanced at the six people.

"Does anyone have any further questions?"

The meeting room was silent for two seconds.

Chen Yutong raised her hand.

"Sister Wei, I have a question!"

"explain."

"I understand the job description, but Binhai City is so big, how am I supposed to know what's abnormal and what isn't?"

Chen Yutong asked the question that everyone wanted to know.

We can't just let everyone wander around aimlessly in the streets, can we?

Those "alternative constructions" are not written in the open.

Buildings and such are relatively easy to handle.

Even if those illegally built houses are obvious at a glance...

What if there's a foreign object?

How could they possibly distinguish which species was an invasive species?

Even a top student would struggle with this job, right?

Lin Wei seemed to have anticipated these questions from everyone.

"Don't worry, everyone. We now have smart office technology. The bureau will provide high-tech auxiliary tools to help you complete your work."

She turned around and pressed a button on the remote control, and the PPT switched to the next page.

An image appeared on the screen.

The image shows a pure white oval object.

The object looked like a bar of soap, smooth and intact.

There are no interfaces, no gaps, and no buttons.

It's like a component taken from a precision instrument, perfectly integrated with no dividing lines.

There was also a remote control about the size of a mahjong tile next to it.

It's the same color as this "soap" and has a few simple buttons on its surface.

It looks like they should be used together.

Lin Wei pointed to the screen: "This is a detector developed by the bureau's R&D department."

"Its core function is to identify irregular structures and foreign objects."

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone stared at the picture.

Lin Wei continued to explain.

"Its principle is very simple."

"All legal buildings and facilities in Binhai City have been uniformly marked with electronic tags, similar to isotope markings, but invisible to the naked eye."

"The detector works by reading these markers."

"When the detector gets close to an object, it will turn green if it reads a valid identifier."

"If a valid identifier is not detected, or if the identifier detected does not match the actual object, the detector will display red."

"Red means something is wrong."

"In other words, you don't need any professional knowledge, you don't need to judge the appearance of illegal buildings, and you don't need to distinguish the types of alien species..."

"Just stick the detector on and observe the color."

"Green, normal."

"Red, abnormal."

"Doesn't it seem simple?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It's really simple.

This is so easy, anyone can do it.

Unfortunately, machines can never replace humans.

"The detector has a limited range; it must be placed very close to the object being detected in order to read the tag."

"In other words, if you want to figure out if a target is abnormal, you have to walk up to each target and attach the detector to it to detect it."

"Large-scale identification remotely is not possible."

"If the detection distance is too far, it will generate a lot of signal interference and false alarms."

"The close-contact reading method has an accuracy rate of 100%."

"The specific operating method is very simple: stick the detector to the surface of the building or object, then press the button on the remote control and observe the color change of the detector."

"Once it turns red, immediately report it to the review department online, attaching photos of the scene and location information."

"The review department will conduct a second verification in the background. Once it is confirmed that there is no error and it is an anomaly, the subsequent processing procedures will be initiated."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this.

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder the city planning bureau hired them to conduct inspections.

To put it bluntly, this job doesn't require much technical skill.

It's definitely hard work.

Otherwise, how could they possibly get such a good opportunity?

No professional knowledge, high academic qualifications, or extensive experience are required.

All you need to do is be able to walk, report, and read colors.

Anyone can do it.

But it is precisely because anyone can do it that we need a lot of people.

We need a lot of "ordinary people".

No wonder they checked my color blindness and color weakness several times during my physical exam yesterday.

This work mainly relies on detectors.

That would be troublesome if people couldn't distinguish between red and green.

Jiang Yu silently summarized in his mind:

The purpose of the inspection department is to fill regulatory blind spots with a large workforce.

The detectors are their eyes.

Look everywhere, take pictures everywhere, post everywhere, report everywhere...

It sounds like reporting illegally parked cars on the street.

"Does anyone have any more questions?" Lin Wei continued to ask.

Jiang Yu raised his hand.

"Sister Wei, I have a question."

"explain."

When does our company pay salaries?

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Jiang Yu with an expression that said, "You really are pragmatic."

"The fifth of every month."

"OK!"

Lin Wei continued to look at everyone.

"Any more questions?"

Jiang Yu raised his hand again.

"explain."

"Sister Wei, what if the 5th falls on a Saturday or Sunday?"

Lin Wei pushed up her glasses, her tone remaining calm.

But his speaking speed was noticeably faster.

"If the 5th is a statutory holiday or a weekend, the salary will be paid on the nearest working day."

"These details will be specified in the internship contracts that will be sent to everyone later."

She added a sentence, seemingly implying that Jiang Yu should stop asking similar questions.

"Aside from salary, are there any other issues?"

Jiang Yu raised his hand again.

"explain."

"Sister Wei, our job is to patrol outside. If we can't come back, will you reimburse us for meals we eat out?"

As soon as this question was raised, everyone else looked at Lin Wei.

It seems everyone is very concerned about food.

After all, the cafeteria promised to provide three meals a day for free.

As a result, everyone's current job is to wander around outside.

What's the point of eating in the cafeteria then?

"There is a 30 yuan meal allowance per meal."

"The specific method of payment will be specified in the internship contract."

"Any more questions?"

Lin Wei glanced at the six people.

Once she confirmed that no one else was raising their hand, her tone returned to normal.

"Alright, now that everyone understands, I'll continue."

"Given the very special nature of our unit's work, the inspection department implements a mentor-apprentice system."

"Each new employee will be assigned a mentor, who will be an experienced employee to help you get familiar with the work."

"Master will teach you how to detect anomalies, how to judge anomalies, and how to deal with anomalies."

"During your internship, all your work must be completed under the guidance and supervision of your mentor."

"In other words, you won't be fighting alone for the next three months."

"Your master will guide you step by step and teach you hand in hand."

"You will be able to attend classes independently after the training period ends and you pass the assessment."

After Lin Wei finished speaking, she glanced at her watch.

"It's almost time."

"Your master is already waiting outside."

She turned and walked towards the door.

The six people stood up and followed her out of the multimedia room.
