16: Chapter 16: The game is booming; land and factories are being acquired.

"Holy crap, every single pet is actually different! In just over an hour, I've discovered hundreds of different types of pets!"

"The pet modeling is so exquisite and cute; I want this little meatball!"

"It's hard to imagine, but cute pet paradise really has free trading, and you can trade freely starting from level one! Hurray!"

"Free trading is indeed possible. I caught a very, very beautiful pet at level 1, and a girl bought it from me for 100 yuan."

"The gold-farming army is moving in; bystanders, clear the way!"

"The young miss is taking a leak, everyone step aside!"

"Pah, pah, pah! The guy upstairs is shameless!"

"super god photo editing is awesome, and cute pet paradise is awesome too. They're developed by the same company. I want to get to know the boss of this company more intimately. Sisters, is there a way?"

"The boss is busy, but we can have an 'intimate exchange' instead."

"I can hear your calculations all the way from Tianfu! Ladies, don't go!"

"There's no way to his heart, but there's a path to the flowers!"

...

Su Fan watched the online comments veer further and further off track with a forehead full of black lines. Why were the netizens these days so full of dirty thoughts? Unlike him, a simple homebody.

He lived in a villa with a beautiful woman and remained unmoved.

"One million downloads within an hour of going live. It looks like another hit. Did you really develop this game all by yourself?" Zhou Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Su Fan took a bite of watermelon and said with an air of pretension, "Nonsense. If I didn't develop it, did you?"

"Sometimes I really want to crack open your skull and see what's inside. How can you be so capable?" Zhou Xiaoxiao seemed to think of something and suddenly started giggling foolishly.

Su Fan was startled. What was wrong with her?

"Inside my head is the entire universe. What does it mean to have the world in one's heart? I have the universe in my mind!" Su Fan boasted grandly.

"And I have your child in my belly!" Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly blurted out.

What kind of predatory language was this?

Su Fan was shocked.

"Zhou Xiaoxiao, I haven't done anything! Don't try to get into my bed just because I'm rich!"

Zhou Xiaoxiao's face turned a bit red. She also felt that what she said was too bold, but who was she? She was the cold-faced and heartless Leng Mian.

"There wasn't one before, but do you want to make one now?" Zhou Xiaoxiao said teasingly.

She rested her long legs on Su Fan's lap and then rolled up her trouser leg.

She was wearing black silk stockings under her pants. This temptation...

On a winter night, the wind howled outside, but it was as warm as spring indoors.

The two of them spent nearly two hours eating a meal.

From six o'clock to eight o'clock.

...

super god photo editing was on the right track, and cute pet paradise had also been launched.

The money in his account was constantly increasing, and the influence points in the super god black technology system were overflowing, already exceeding one hundred million.

The next step was to develop super batteries and enter the energy industry.

At past nine o'clock the next morning, Su Fan got out of bed, rubbing his aching waist.

He had spent too much time tossing and turning last night; cute pet paradise was simply too much fun.

Zhou Xiaoxiao also woke up very late. She had joined the cute pet paradise game last night as well.

This morning, Su Fan planned to go to the Natural Resources Bureau with Zhou Xiaoxiao to select a plot of land.

After a quick breakfast, the two arrived at the Natural Resources Bureau.

Section Chief Sun, who was in charge of land approval, was already waiting for them in the office.

Among the many plots, Su Fan quickly selected one.

This plot included a large factory. The factory used to process components; the owner had just acquired the land and built the workshop, but before a year was up, he ran away with his sister-in-law.

The machinery had already been auctioned off by the bank, but the workshop was very new. A six-story office building and a six-story dormitory building were both newly constructed.

Section Chief Sun strongly recommended this location.

Furthermore, there was a small, very beautiful lake nearby, which was also included in this plot of land.

The procedures for the land and the factory were quickly completed through a green channel throughout the entire process.

After bidding farewell to Section Chief Sun, Su Fan couldn't wait to go inspect it with Zhou Xiaoxiao.

The plot was not small, the central workshop was also large, the office building was very new, and the small lake was indeed beautiful.

Su Fan decided to move the office here within the next couple of days.

After having Zhou Xiaoxiao contact a cleaning company to tidy up the factory area, they returned to the villa.

There were still several interviewees to meet in the afternoon.

"Four people interviewing for administrative positions at Super God Technology, six for administrative positions at Super God Energy, and only one person interviewing for a technical position at Super God Energy!" In the first-floor living room of the villa, Su Fan looked at the resumes Zhou Xiaoxiao gave him, feeling somewhat speechless.

"There is too little talent in Ningcheng. After graduating with master's degrees, most people stay in big cities."

"Those willing to stay in Ningcheng are mostly locals, and their goals are mostly state-owned enterprises, civil service, or public institutions."

"Although our Super God Company has been very popular recently, it's a new company, and many people are taking a wait-and-see approach."

"Especially highly educated technical talents; they prefer university laboratories or large multinational company labs."

"In short, our strength isn't enough, and high-tech talents look down on us."

Zhou Xiaoxiao gave a brief report on the situation.

Su Fan nodded.

Indeed, Super God Company was currently famous for its software, but it was at a novice level in the manufacturing and energy industries.

Others didn't know he had a system.

It was normal for them to maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

But it didn't matter; he had a way to solve the talent problem.

"You can handle the interviews for the administrative staff. There's a study on the first floor; use that for the interviews."

"I will personally interview that doctoral student."

Su Fan specifically pulled out the resume of that doctoral student.

Zhang Minghan, male, graduate of Shuimu University with a doctoral degree. His research direction is semi-solid-state lithium batteries for new energy.

"Why did this Zhang Minghan choose to come to us?" Su Fan asked, puzzled.

This was a PhD from Shuimu University, after all.

"His reason is that he's optimistic about the future of our Super God Company," Zhou Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

Su Fan frowned, then asked Zhou Xiaoxiao to order some takeout before he went upstairs.

Returning to his room on the third floor, Su Fan called for Red Queen.

"Red Queen, investigate this Zhang Minghan and see if there are any problems."

"Of course, Master," Red Queen replied in her mature female voice.

Soon, all of Zhang Minghan's information existing on the internet and connected devices was organized by Red Queen and sent to Su Fan's phone.

He clicked to view it.

After half an hour, Su Fan rubbed his temples. He finally understood the reason why Zhang Minghan came here for an interview.

Zhang Minghan's other information was fine, but one piece of data caught Su Fan's attention.

In the first half of last year, because he exposed a professor at Shuimu University for academic fraud, he was directly blacklisted by this influential professor.

Although he later managed to get his graduation certificate through his advisor's connections, his advisor's network was average, and that was as far as it could go.

Therefore, he had been unable to find a job since then, as no research institute was willing to accept him.

The options before him were either to take the civil service exam or to go to a company that wasn't afraid of that professor's sphere of influence.

But he loved research, so becoming a civil servant was impossible.

Thus, he only had one choice: to find a company or research institute that the professor couldn't influence.

Unfortunately, the lithium battery research circle was very, very small. It was the same group of big shots revolving around, and the large companies were all part of that circle. It was impossible for them to offend a titan-level figure for the sake of a minor PhD student.

Having reviewed Zhang Minghan's information, Su Fan felt the man was decent. His first impression score could be a 90, and he would just wait for the afternoon interview.
