132: Chapter 132 The Shift in Focus

On the way back, a drunken Lin Tianxiong was in high spirits. Looking at the two men in the car, he waved his hand and said:

"I'm going to give you two brothers a raise. You won't be treated unfairly working for me. Tell me, how much do you want? I'll agree to anything!"

Long Yi and Long Er: ...

The two just shook their heads silently.

"Sigh, you two are great in every way, but you talk too little. How are you going to get wives in the future? And also..." Lin Tianxiong muttered a few more words before passing out from drunkenness.

Looking at the car driving into the Villa complex on the monitor, the atmosphere in an ordinary van parked on the side of the road in the distance was completely different. The interior of the van was filled with various precision surveillance equipment. The screen's fluorescent light reflected on the faces of two men in plain clothes; they were special agents from a certain department.

It was like this every day. The slightly younger man couldn't sit still anymore and curled his lip: "Brother Zu, how long is this going to last? This isn't what I imagined."

"Without new orders, we stay here."

The man called Brother Zu was about 40 years old, his eyes as calm as an ancient well. He didn't look at his young companion, his gaze still locked on the various entrances of the Villa on the screen and the black sedan that had just driven in.

After a while, he spat out another sentence: "If you can't get used to it, quit early."

The young man got anxious: "Brother Zu, that's not what I meant. I was just complaining. I am determined to complete the Bureau's mission!"

The latter twitched the corner of his mouth, moving his gaze from the monitor to another set of personnel files, his expression becoming more contemplative. On the first page of the file was a young, green, slightly smiling face.

This was a university-era New Life enrollment photo.

No wonder the higher-ups valued him. To have grown to such a level in just over two years, how did he do it?

...

Two weeks passed quietly.

In a suburban park in the south of Switzerland, nestled among green trees, lay a complex of highly modern buildings. This was a now World-renowned biological Research Institute, and also a branch of the company.

The scale of the Research Institute had doubled since the beginning. The Third-Party Technology logo was incredibly conspicuous, carrying a sense of solemnity that led to the future under its special color tone.

A sedan drove low-key into the depths of the park, passed several gates, and finally stopped in front of a conference building.

The car door opened, and a black-haired young man stepped out. The young man wore simple casual clothes, his eyes calm, yet anyone who met his gaze would subconsciously feel an invisible pressure of being thoroughly seen through, as well as an insurmountable sense of distance.

The senior leaders and core researchers who had been waiting at the entrance immediately came forward, their expressions excited.

"BOSS!"

Lin Fang looked at Mite and Delison and the other laboratory heads who had run out to join the fun while wearing lab coats, feeling a bit speechless. But he couldn't say anything; this showed that the employees couldn't wait to see the boss they respected.

I really am an excellent entrepreneur.

After Lin Fang sighed with emotion, he walked into the conference building surrounded by the crowd.

In the conference room, the long table was filled with project heads and middle-to-senior management of the company. After Lin Fang took his seat at the head, the assistant immediately projected the report onto the center screen, and the meeting went straight to the point.

"The total revenue of the Switzerland branch in the second quarter was 1.7 billion U.S. dollars, among which..."

"The CN-01 and other anti-cancer drugs have all passed the listing application in Switzerland. The press conference is scheduled for the 26th of this month, which is two days later..."

Lin Fang nodded. Without the new anti-cancer drug released yet, it was already quite good that the Research Institute here could maintain a profit. Once the drugs were released, this number would soar to an astonishing level.

After listening to the simple reports from Xu Anqing and the others, Lin Fang let most of them leave. Soon, only nine people were left in the large conference room. Most of them were laboratory heads; they were all members of the company's World, with at least B3-level authorization. Except for Zhou Hui and Li Chengjian in Molo, these were his true core team.

They had all passed the vetting process; at the very least, they had personal ability and were loyal to the company.

Quality is better than quantity. Lin Fang wouldn't just recruit anyone into his ranks, but it was foreseeable that with the company's development, especially after the completion of the Ruang Island overseas Base, the number of members in the company's World would grow explosively.

Because from then on, the company would be involved in multiple industries and begin to expand rapidly.

In the conference room, those who remained clearly realized something. Some were learning for the first time that the other person was also a member of the company's World.

Several laboratory heads, including Delison, exchanged glances. Apart from surprise, there was a subtle feeling of "So you are one too" and "What a coincidence, me too." This was the first time some of them clearly knew of each other's other identity.

Lin Fang also noticed a gaze that had been looking at him hotly from the beginning. It was a haggard-looking young man.

Lin Fang remembered his name was Xu Tian. He was recommended by Mite. This year, because he completed a research project, his World authorization was raised from B2 to B3. Although his authorization was the lowest here, he was qualified to sit here.

"Is there something on my face?" Lin Fang asked curiously.

"No, Boss, I'm just excited!"

Xu Tian stood up, his face flushed: "Boss, you don't know that I wanted to follow you when I was in the Central Continent. Later, Dr. Mite gave me a chance. To be able to be here, to see you in person, I, I..."

Xu Tian was so excited he was incoherent.

Mite, the fat man who had eaten his way back, laughed when he saw this: "Xu Tian, calm down. BOSS doesn't eat people."

The latter sat back down, but the light in his eyes, willing to go through fire and water for him, touched Lin Fang.

Not bad, quite a loyal employee. Lin Fang even wanted to abuse his power to promote him.

After saying a few casual words, Lin Fang brought up the main business to everyone. The company's development focus would shift to the Ruang Island branch under construction. At that time, he would need these biology experts to go and lead new research projects.

Not only that, Lin Fang planned to recruit a large number of talents from all walks of life globally.

After Lin Fang finished speaking, the few people in the conference room showed surprise. Although they had heard some rumors, the actual proposal still shocked them.

There was no objection; these Professors readily agreed to go. Among them, Delison spoke, his voice mixed with excitement: "BOSS, is the new project even greater than CN-01?"

"That's right. Not only are the instruments more advanced there, but the biology is more developed."

Speaking of this, the depth in Lin Fang's eyes grew, and he looked at the few people and said slowly: "Perhaps, you will even have the chance to study creatures like those in movies..."

Everyone gasped.
