This city simulation game can affect reality.

"Hello, boss."

At 8:53 a.m. the next morning, Chen Jun appeared at the entrance of the resort parking lot wearing a leather jacket.

The security guard on duty was an old man with gray hair and a slender build. He recognized Chen Jun immediately upon seeing him.

Although the resort did not have a strict requirement for its employees to do so, the old security guard, upholding his duty, insisted on greeting all the passing senior staff.

Chen Jun smiled slightly and nodded to the other party.

On the first day of the new regulations, he had already inspected all the posts along the way, and the attendance rate was much better than he had expected.

Apart from a few employees who were late, most people clocked in on time.

Prior to today, due to the recent passing of my grandfather and the relatively relaxed management of the resort, the staff's sense of self-discipline was not very high.

Arriving three to five minutes late every day, then leisurely eating breakfast after arriving at work, and only starting work after filling one's stomach—this has become the daily habit for most people.

The new regulations were finalized yesterday, meaning that the days of laxity are over.

However, Chen Jun did not immediately raise the standards to an inhumane level.

After discussing with Operations Manager Lao Zhou, the start time was postponed from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM, but everyone must be on time to clock in.

Otherwise, corresponding penalties will be imposed based on the time of lateness.

As for taking a bite or two while working, that's only human nature.

As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he would let the junior leaders at each location turn a blind eye.

Even so, there will inevitably be some people who are dissatisfied with the new regulations.

The reason why residents' satisfaction can still rise is probably because of a holistic feedback.

"Uncle Liu, have you had breakfast yet?" Chen Jun asked, carrying a bag of steamed buns as he approached the security booth.

"I...I ate."

The old security guard looked at the young leader in front of him with some surprise, clearly not expecting that the other party would remember him.

Because he had only been in charge of the resort for a very short time, Chen Jun had hardly interacted with any employees other than senior management in the past two weeks. Even the heads of various departments would only communicate with him when necessary.

"I'll sit here for a while, you don't mind, do you?" Chen Jun joked.

"Of course... Welcome, leader, welcome, leader."

He pushed open the door and walked into the security booth.

For the next hour or so, Chen Jun chatted with the old security guard while keeping an eye on the traffic entering the parking lot.

Although City Simulator can track the movements of all vehicles and tourists within the resort, this was his first time "remotely micromanaging" the situation, and on-site inspection was by no means superfluous.

As a parking lot connected to the entrance road, the traffic conditions here are of great reference value for subsequent layout planning.

"Good morning, Lao Liu."

Around 10 a.m., a blue Great Wall Motors car pulled up in front of the security booth. While waiting for the barrier to be raised, the driver greeted the old security guard.

It was obvious that he was one of the few regular customers at the resort.

Before leaving, perhaps out of a desire to vent, the driver couldn't help but mention: "Every time I came here before, I would be stuck in traffic for half a day, but today it was incredibly smooth."

"You guys have really gone too far with this road modification. At first, I was wondering why you suddenly put up such a long median strip, but after thinking about it carefully, the person who came up with this idea is a genius."

The driver didn't hold back his praise and amazement. Having driven for so many years, he had some insights into road design.

The old security guard didn't understand these things, but he could tell that the frequency of cars entering the parking lot today was significantly higher than usual.

"Judging from this, I'm afraid I won't have a moment's rest from now on."

Looking at the flow of cars coming and going, the outspoken old security guard muttered something.

After saying that, remembering the leader sitting next to him, he immediately added, "But this is a good thing, it shows that our resort is thriving."

Chen Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, the increased workload is only temporary. The situation will gradually stabilize in a few days."

It wasn't that he was trying to comfort the other person; he made his own deduction based on years of experience.

Once the traffic congestion at the intersection was resolved, tourists who had previously turned back due to traffic issues were able to enter the parking lot in a short period of time, resulting in more vehicles entering than the parking lot could accommodate – a normal release of demand.

However, since the average length of stay for tourists did not increase, after a period of time, when the number of visitors returned to normal levels, the number of cars entering the parking lot naturally decreased.

Given the resort's current size, there's absolutely no need to worry about it being fully booked.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Chen Jun got up and left the security booth around noon.

......

"You can do that?"

In the office in the southeast corner of the resort, Lao Zhou listened to the front desk manager's account with disbelief on his face.

It was obvious that news of the changed road conditions had already spread throughout the resort.

Normally, if this matter is handled according to procedure, it would take at least three to five months to resolve.

From research and scheme design to administrative approvals from various departments, and finally to bidding and construction.

There's plenty of room for slacking off and skimming profits here.

Now, Chen Jun has made only a simple adjustment, which has saved the resort a lot of time and money.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a stroke of genius.

As if on cue, Chen Jun walked into the office at that very moment.

"Young Master Chen, which expert did you invite overnight?" Old Zhou recalled the three people looking helpless in front of the warehouse yesterday, and still found the progress of this matter unbelievable.

"I studied related knowledge when I was in college, and now it's coming in handy," Chen Jun said casually.

"By doing this, tourists can at least directly feel the difference in their experience before and after, which is more effective than any marketing tactic."

Although Lao Zhou wasn't in charge of business operations, he knew what the changes in road conditions meant.

In previous years, Mr. Chen had put a lot of effort into this, but despite spending a lot of money, progress was terribly slow.

As time went on, the old man stopped investing money, and everyone just let things slide. The traffic problem was almost selectively ignored by the management.

Chen Jun's actions have given him a more direct sense of his successor's decisive and efficient approach.

The entire process didn't even involve the operations manager; he led a team and resolved the issue swiftly in just one night.

"Mr. Chen, your grandson is no ordinary person." Thinking of his mentor and boss, Old Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Without continuing the conversation, Chen Jun pushed open the door to the inner office area and went inside; this was his private office.

The resort still faces a mountain of problems. As the game suggests, aside from the dynamic flow of tourists, the resort has very few permanent residents.

"It's time to bring in some fresh blood," Chen Jun decided in his heart.

The resort's management structure is divided into four departments:

Operations Department, Support Department, Business Department, External Extension Department.

Excluding the partially paralyzed external extensions, only three departments are actually in operation.

The so-called high-level personnel, including Chen Jun, number only four at most.

As for the various middle-level positions under the subordinates, there is a severe shortage of personnel.

Given the resort's current size, these people are barely enough, but if it wants to achieve diversified development, expanding the number of positions will be necessary.
