349: Chapter 349 Inspection

[Evacuation Countdown: 00:00:00]

As the Argus Legion's 1st Heavy Armored Division returned in triumph dragging Ghidorah, Lin Fang took a short break, and it was time to evacuate.

At the top of the Civilization Spire, a young man's figure appeared quietly.

[Evacuation from the Godzilla: King of the Monsters plane successful]

[Obtained Materials: Technical USB Drive]

[Plane weight increased, current weight 90%]

Having Number Five acting as an inside agent over there is certainly convenient. It is infiltrating the entire Earth in an all-encompassing manner, constantly helping Lin Fang collect technical data from this plane.

Jushen Company doesn't even know that its branch on Earth has already become Number Five's backyard.

After choosing to sell this USB drive to the Black Star, Lin Fang was prompted that he could obtain 8,000 plunder points.

"Black Star, you really are getting darker and darker,"

Lin Fang looked at the Black Watch and complained. He had roughly looked through the data inside; it was dazzling and scattered across 300 items, but every single one was technology far exceeding modern levels. This black ghost was only offering so little.

Black Star: [...]

The Black Watch always maintained a silence like stagnant water. Ever since Lin Fang obtained it, other than trading with it, he had never heard it say a single word, to the point that Lin Fang often suspected it was mentally handicapped.

"Forget it, sell it."

Lin Fang said. Watching the plunder points cross the five-digit mark again, he felt much happier. Looking down from here, the Civilization Science City beneath his feet seemed even more prosperous. Giant holographic projections were visible everywhere throughout the city, making it look every bit a city of the future.

He heard it even won the title of Global Scientific and Technological Civilization Demonstration Benchmark, although he didn't know which corner that plaque had been tossed into.

Looking at the empty office, Lin Fang had the urge to take a stroll.

Because some secrets were not convenient to show others, Lin Fang did not have a secretary or administrative assistant by his side. Usually, when coming to the top floor, he used a dedicated elevator that went straight to the top.

Moreover, most of the time, Lin Fang was generally in the underground Base, so most employees in the Civilization Spire did not know of their boss's existence.

Many people had been at the headquarters for a year and had never even seen Lin Fang once.

"Tell me, is this the result you've produced in a week? How am I supposed to explain this to the higher-ups!"

In the office area on the 99th floor of the Civilization Spire, a middle-aged man was loudly reprimanding the group in front of him: "How many times have I said it? Focus on user experience, focus on user experience!

And you lot? Do you know that the simultaneous translator we are responsible for has seen its negative review rate rise by 1% this month? Good God, I swear, if you don't change, I will definitely use my leather shoes to kick your asses, and all your bonuses for this year will be gone."

Facing the supervisor's anger, everyone seemed used to it. One by one, they shrank their necks and lowered their heads, wearing expressions of listening earnestly to the lecture.

"Zhang Wei, you are responsible for Chinese. You explain it—why is our simultaneous translator translating like this? Because of this, we have received a great many complaints!" The supervisor pointed to the negative review with the highest number of likes on the projection.

A man raised his head and replied blankly,

"Supervisor Oakes, it translated it correctly. 'God is unfair', 'God is a girl', isn't that quite good?"

Someone couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

"You..." Oakes turned red with rage, took off his leather shoe, and threw it in his direction. The office area was instantly in chaos.

When Lin Fang arrived at the entrance, this was the scene he saw. He couldn't help but frown. Regardless of what happened, what he saw was this display of professional incompetence.

Oakes glared fiercely at Zhang Wei, told the programmer to fix it immediately, and then turned to leave. However, the corner of his eye inadvertently caught a glimpse of Lin Fang standing not far away.

The supervisor was stunned for a moment. This person had no work badge or access identification on him; how could he have entered this building, let alone broken into the 99th-floor core R&D area? Could he be a spy sent by another organization?

It was not impossible.

Once this thought appeared, Oakes's eyes instantly became sharp.

But after seeing the person's appearance clearly, Oakes's pupils constricted sharply. The vigilance on his face was instantly replaced by shock. The newcomer's handsome face, the aura that made people want to submit...

Isn't this Chairman Lin whom he had seen four years ago, the founder of Third-Party Technology!

Oakes cursed inwardly, hurriedly rushing over with the fastest speed in his life. He had been ruined by this bunch of guys today.

"BOSS, welcome. I'm very happy to see you,"

Oakes looked at the young man, his face carrying a trace of fanatical worship, and bowed respectfully. The anger from throwing the leather shoe had vanished without a trace.

Lin Fang turned his head. His highly developed hippocampus automatically extracted old memories from his mind and compared them with the person in front of him. In an instant, he confirmed that he had met him once before, and the other person's relevant information instantly surfaced in his mind.

"Mr. Oakes, we meet again. I didn't expect you to have come here as well."

This person was an ordinary employee from the Coastal Sea branch at the very beginning. He had only met him once, but given how powerful Lin Fang's brain was after genetic optimization, he recalled it in an instant.

"BOSS, you still remember me?"

Hearing Lin Fang's words, Oakes's face showed a look of pleasant surprise. He extended both hands and said, flattered, after all, he had been truly unremarkable when he first met him.

Lin Fang shook his hand and said calmly, "Long time no see. What were you all doing just now?"

This gentle question made Oakes's smile freeze on his face, the joy fading away for the most part.

"Uh," Oakes glanced over and found that the people in the office were still standing there blankly, not knowing what to do, with expressions of being dumbfounded.

"It's like this..."

Oakes truthfully and quickly explained the situation, and finally added, "BOSS, this is my fault. I promise you, this situation will not happen again."

"It's okay. You all work so happily; as the boss, I should be happy about that,"

Lin Fang nodded slightly. After chatting with him casually for a few sentences, he left. He waved his hand to decline Oakes's offer to see him off.

Oakes stood respectfully at the door until the young man disappeared from his field of vision before he let out a sigh of relief. The sense of oppression the BOSS gave off was far greater than in his memory.

Clearly, Lin Fang's tone had been calm throughout, without a hint of blame, yet those eyes seemed able to pierce through all the perfunctoriness and slackness in one's heart, causing a thin layer of cold sweat to break out on his back.

"Supervisor, was that person just now our bi... big boss?" At this time, the group of people who had been stunned since Oakes revealed the young man's identity reacted, and a girl asked blankly.

"Hmph, you know to be afraid now, do you?"

Oakes snorted coldly, "That's right, he is our big boss."

"Ah,"

Another person widened their eyes and couldn't help but exclaim, "The boss won't fire us, will he?"

"What are you thinking? What kind of figure is our boss? You think too highly of yourself," Oakes said, thinking of the recent international storms.

"Alright, now everyone get back to your seats and work, adding bricks and tiles for the company!"

The crowd scattered like startled birds, quickly returning to their workstations.

On the other side, Lin Fang walked around casually. After turning the company upside down, he arrived at the General Manager's office door, feeling satisfied.

"Please come in,"

A female voice came from inside.

After opening the door, what Lin Fang saw was Xu Anqing in thought. When the latter saw Lin Fang enter, the hand holding the fountain pen paused slightly, joy flashed in her eyes, and she immediately stood up, feigning surprise on her face.

"Boss, I was wondering why my left eyelid kept twitching. So it was you who came over."

"You still believe in those things?" Lin Fang sat on the nearby sofa, composed, and said with a smile.

"I only believe in what I want to believe,"

Xu Anqing poured a glass of clear water for Lin Fang, "I only have plain water here, Boss, please don't mind."

Lin Fang took a few sips and asked curiously, "What were you thinking about just now?"

Xu Anqing was a B5-level member of the inner World, knew the company's background, and was deeply trusted by Lin Fang. It could be said that very few things could make her frown.

"Because of them," Xu Anqing handed a document to Lin Fang, which featured several foreigners with cloth on their heads.

"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Because of our construction of nuclear power plants, members of the Saudi royal family have come to us. They say they are willing to offer 50% of their oil shares in exchange for us pausing the development of nuclear energy."
