Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

Conference Room, Ninth Research Center, Yucheng Industrial Group.

Su Hai asked, "Old Liu is reaching retirement age; he'll be retiring in a few days. Who will succeed him as factory director?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu said, "Deputy Factory Director Cheng Xudong is very capable, let him be the factory director."

Xiao Ze said, "One deputy factory director has been transferred, and one factory director has retired. Chen Xudong will become the factory director, leaving two deputy factory director positions vacant in the machinery factory. How about we let Xu Damao and He Yuzhu become deputy factory directors?"

The six time travelers are united and help each other. Firstly, they are all members of the Time Traveler Alliance, and secondly, Li Yunlong is a time traveler who has become an immortal.

Fearing that they would offend Li Yunlong, the six time travelers dared not act recklessly. Over the years, they had been making contributions to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Lin Fan is He Yuzhu's brother-in-law, and he supports He Yuzhu's appointment as deputy factory director.

Li Kun's wife, Yu Haitang, is the younger sister of Xu Damao's wife, Yu Li. Su Hai's wife, Xu Fengling, is also Xu Damao's younger sister. Both of them support Xu Damao's appointment as deputy factory director.

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu both have night school diplomas and have been promoted to the level of section chief for many years. Promoting them to the position of deputy factory director is reasonable, legal and compliant, and no one has any reason to complain.

After discussing the matter, Lin Fan, Ye Qiu, and others finalized a personnel adjustment plan.

A week later, Liu Haizhong went through the retirement procedures with mixed feelings.

Based on various data, Liu Haizhong's retirement pension was set at the average wage of Chongqing residents.

"Silly Mao, congratulations."

"Silly Zhu, congratulations to you too."

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were overjoyed to be promoted from section chief to deputy director and appointed as deputy factory directors of the machinery factory.

Liu Haizhong felt unwell after he stopped working, and after a few days, he began to enjoy his retirement.

That morning around 7 a.m., Liu Haizhong, Liu Yongfeng, and Qin Chu went fishing by the river again.

Qin Chu smiled and asked, "Have you adapted to life at sea?"

Liu Haizhong said, "I've pretty much gotten used to it. Fishing and playing chess every day is fine."

Liu Yongfeng said, "I can't even spend all of my retirement pension. I never dared to dream of living like this before."

Liu Haizhong asked, "Old Qin, how much is your retirement pension?"

Qin Chu said, "It's twice the average wage in Chongqing."

Liu Haizhong asked, "Brother Feng, what about your retirement pension?"

Liu Yongfeng laughed and said, "Just like you, I have the average salary in Chongqing."

Before retiring, Liu Yongfeng was a first-level junior high school teacher at Yucheng Industrial School, and his retirement pension was the local average wage.

After the teacher ranking system was adjusted, teachers at the kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and university levels are now divided into ten levels, with level ten being the lowest and level one the highest.

After the adjustment of the skill levels for fitters, forgemen, and electricians, level one is the lowest and level ten is the highest.

For non-administrative and technical positions, once the highest grade is reached, the retirement pension is the same as the local average wage.

Less than one in a thousand people work in any industry and reach the upper limit of their respective industry level.

The retirement pay in Daxia is divided into nine levels, with the retirement pay being one-third, two-thirds, one time, four-thirds, five-thirds, two times, seven-thirds, eight-thirds, and three times the local average wage, respectively.

If the local average wage is 90 yuan, the nine levels of retirement pay are 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, and 270 yuan per month, respectively.

For most ordinary people, retirement benefits are only one-third of the local average wage.

The retirement pensions of a small number of ordinary people are two-thirds of the local average wage.

Out of a hundred people, less than one can receive a retirement pension equivalent to the local average wage.

After retiring, Liu Haizhong had plenty of free time and often invited Qin Chu and Liu Yongfeng to go fishing.

Liu Yongfeng and Liu Haizhong lived in the same courtyard house when they were in Beicheng, so they were acquaintances.

We know each other, we both love fishing, we're both retired, and fishing together has become a regular occurrence.

Many retirees in Daxia spend their time growing vegetables, playing mahjong, fishing, and practicing Yin-Yang Five Elements Boxing.

Fishing is allowed in all the naturally formed rivers, lakes, and man-made rivers of Daxia.

Fishing is prohibited in reservoirs and ponds used for aquaculture of fish, shrimp, and crab in all states.

When fishing in Daxia, one person uses one rod, with a maximum of two hooks, and explosive hooks are not allowed... Only earthworms are allowed as live bait.

Qi Bing, alone at home, entered the Xuanhuang World.

After looking at the beautiful Tao version of Zheng Juan and Luo Yuzhu, Qi Bing smiled knowingly.

After practicing the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique a few times and eating lunch prepared by Qin Jingru, Qi Bing returned to the villa outside.

Qi Zhengwen and Qi Zhengwu, both 20 years old this year, are already third-year students at Yucheng Industrial School.

Qi soldiers, whose primordial spirits were released outwards, were spying on Nanxingzhou, Heizhou, and Baizhou.

"Overseas in this courtyard world, more than a dozen viruses are raging, and there are hardly any people left."

The squid produced a virus, and the squid sold the antidote, making a lot of money.

However, squid are unable to treat viruses produced by eagles and red sand.

The virus created by the people of India across ethnic groups is an incurable disease overseas.

Every two or three days, Qi Bing would use his primordial spirit to explore Blue Star.

He was fully aware of the current situation in various parts of the world.

"If this continues, there will be no one left overseas in three months at most."

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are inescapable."

Discarding all distractions, Qi Bing once again comprehended the Three Thousand Laws.

Around 3 p.m., the phone rang.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

"Xiao Qi, Hai Zhong will come over for dinner later."

"Dad, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy the groceries."

"No need to buy groceries. We caught some fish, and we'll buy some groceries on the way back."

Liu Yongfeng, Qin Chu, and Liu Haizhong were fishing by the river when they found a restaurant nearby for lunch.

Before five o'clock, the three returned from fishing.

When Liu Haizhong first arrived at Qi Bing's house, he was shocked to see Qi Bing's villa.

Liu Haizhong said, "Brother Feng, Qi Bing's villa is really big, even bigger than Su Hai's villa."

Liu Yongfeng laughed and said, "It was allocated to him by Yucheng Industrial Group. That's his private laboratory building."

Qi Bing chatted with Liu Haizhong for a few words, then took the things and went into the kitchen.

The three-person fishing team not only brought back over ten kilograms of fish, but also a roast duck and a braised goose.

Qi Bing quickly prepared a few dishes and steamed some rice, and dinner was ready.

Qi Bing, who is 46 years old this year, looks only in his twenties, so Liu Haizhong wasn't surprised.

Many people in Daxia who are in their fifties or sixties look ten or twenty years younger than their actual age.

Tonics, Yin-Yang Five Elements Fist, and Five Elements Breathing Techniques can all enhance physical fitness. When physical fitness is improved, lifespan will also increase relatively, so it's normal to look young.

Not long after dinner, Liu Guangtian drove to pick up Liu Haizhong.

Many years ago, the Great Xia Dynasty in this world began to prohibit drunk driving.

Liu Guangtian said, "Brother Bing, we're leaving now. Let's have a drink together sometime."

Qi Bing nodded: "Alright!"

After getting into the car and leaving the villa, Liu Haizhong said, "Guangtian, Qi Bing's house is really big, even bigger than Su Hai's villa. The decoration of his house is also much better than Su Hai's."

Liu Guangtian said, "Dad, Qi Bing is a first-class engineer at Yucheng Industrial Group, with a status similar to that of an academician. Su Hai is a national hero. Won't Qi Bing's house exceed the standard?"

Liu Haizhong said thoughtfully, "Qi Bing has been in Chongqing for many years, and his house has been there for many years too. Perhaps his villa wasn't over the limit back then."

Liu Guangtian smiled and said, "Dad, tomorrow is Saturday, I'll go fishing with you."

In this personnel reshuffle at the machinery factory, Liu Guangtian became the workshop director.

Six years ago, Liu Guangtian, an eighth-grade forging worker, became a workshop team leader.

After attending night school for several years, Liu Guangtian obtained his night school diploma.

Liu Guangfu, 28 years old this year, also has a night school diploma and is a fourth-level cook and deputy director of the canteen at a machinery factory.

When one person of a higher level levels up, a group of people will follow suit and level up as well.

The Ninth Research Center under the Yucheng Industrial Group is fully managed by six time travelers, Niu and Ma.

The Machinery Factory is a factory under the Ninth Research Center. Personnel transfers within the Machinery Factory are decided by the six transmigrators, Niu Ma.
