Infinite Strongest G
Understanding is interdependent, and love is the same.
At this moment, Lin Ruxian felt a sense of panic for the first time. She had no idea how to face this situation or how to confront Li Hong herself.
Sister Wang, being more experienced, instantly guessed Lin Ruxian's thoughts.
"Alright, alright, let's talk about that guy. I'll help you figure it out," Sister Wang said as she sat down beside her with a sigh.
Lin Ruxian's eyes lit up, and she replied excitedly, "Thank you, Sister Wang!"
"His name is Li Hong, and he's this age..."
"..."
"Wait a minute, does this guy have a daughter? Has he been married?" Upon hearing Yuchen's presence, Sister Wang suddenly became flustered.
How old is this guy? He already has a daughter who’s five or six years old. This kind of person seems unreliable!
Just as Sister Wang was forming an unreliable impression of Li Hong, Lin Ruxian explained, "Sister Wang, don’t think too much. Yuchen isn’t his biological daughter; she’s an adopted child."
"Adopted? Oh, that's good... Wait a minute, but adopting still isn’t great. If you marry him, won’t you have to take care of the kid?" Sister Wang's imagination ran wild.
"Sister Wang, what are you talking about! Who... who wants to marry him and take care of kids..." Lin Ruxian's pretty face turned as red as a monkey's backside.
Sister Wang rolled her eyes at her and scoffed, "Alright then, if you’re not marrying him, I wonder who’s in a hurry."
"Sister Wang..." Lin Ruxian stomped her foot, feeling her face burn with embarrassment.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. But you need to tell me, does this guy have any feelings for you?" Sister Wang waved her hand.
Lin Ruxian was a bit confused. "What do you mean by feelings?"
"Are you really that clueless? I'm asking if he has any thoughts about you. If he doesn't, you should just give up on that idea. But if he has even a little interest, I'll help you out. I guarantee he won't escape your grasp."
For a moment, Lin Ruxian couldn't gauge Li Hong's feelings and could only respond vaguely, "Sister, I'm not really sure about that. But from what I've observed, it seems like he does."
"You’re not lying to me, are you?" Sister Wang asked suspiciously.
"No, no! How could I possibly lie to you?" Lin Ruxian quickly shook her head in denial.
"Alright then, I'll go find him and help you out. As long as he has feelings for you, this will work." Sister Wang stood up.
Lin Ruxian was overjoyed. "Thank you so much, Sister Wang!"
"Why are you thanking me? I'm your manager; we're in this together. Now wait for my good news."
With that, Sister Wang turned and left with a confident stride.
...
On the thirteenth floor of Baisheng Building, where the Fist Game logo used to hang, it had now been completely replaced by the logo of Sweet Potato Technology Co., Ltd.
Li Hong sat at the head of the conference table, gathering a large group from Sweet Potato Technology to prepare for the upcoming Virtual Helmet project.
"The Virtual Helmet is of utmost importance, and we must keep production issues strictly confidential. I suggest we implement vacuum isolation in the production workshop, ensuring that all employees are completely cut off from the outside world," Mark said fiercely.
Li Hong understood that Mark meant well for the company, but this foolish idea was utterly useless.
Isolating the production area was not difficult, but where would they find employees? With everything related to eating and dressing being isolated, they would have to adhere to extremely stringent confidentiality regulations. It was easy to guess that ordinary workers would not be able to handle such conditions.
Moreover, the wages for such workers were not insignificant. If the Virtual Helmet was to be rapidly popularized, they would need a large number of assembly workers. However, Li Hong feared he could not afford so many high-paid employees.
Now there were two main issues at hand: one was loyalty. The factory was producing a groundbreaking Virtual Helmet, and confidentiality and worker loyalty were undoubtedly paramount in production.
After all, their Virtual Helmet was essentially just an assembly of components based on blueprints. Only after assembly would it transform into something sophisticated and technologically advanced under mysterious capabilities.
In this situation, if they wanted to produce the Virtual Helmet, the workers they needed could not be just any ordinary laborers found easily outside. What they truly required were those workers who might not be particularly skilled but had guaranteed loyalty.
Such workers were not easy to find; after all, as long as someone is human, they will have all sorts of peculiar thoughts. It was not surprising for them to develop selfish motives.
Besides the issue of workers, Li Hong was also facing another associated problem: employee compensation.
If he needed someone to work for him for a lifetime while keeping all factory secrets safe, the offered compensation could not be too low.
If the pay was too low, it wouldn’t take long before others tempted them with higher offers, leading them to develop negative thoughts under harsh conditions.
Furthermore, human hearts are never fully satisfied. Even if Li Hong provided them with generous rewards and benefits, greed and selfishness could still drive them to commit undesirable acts.
The hearts of people are as inscrutable as the depths of their stomachs; no one can be trusted completely.
Li Hong had no confidence in controlling everyone, nor did he believe that the secrets would remain safe after the factory was established. Thus, he had yet to set up a mass assembly factory for the Virtual Helmet.
This issue had been troubling Li Hong for quite some time, and if it remained unresolved, it seemed that the virtual world project would regrettably die before it even began.
When Li Hong raised this problem during the meeting, a profound silence fell over the room as everyone pondered what to do.
"Boss, I have an idea," said Soulmate, who had come from Sweet Potato Films to attend the meeting, raising a hand.
Li Hong rubbed his forehead and replied coolly, "You!"
"Alright, Boss!"
Soulmate stood up and addressed everyone in the conference room, speaking confidently: "The boss's problem is not without a solution. In fact, I can say this is the perfect solution."
"What solution?" Mark asked in surprise.
A satisfied smile spread across Soulmate's face as he explained softly, "Everyone, we need workers for our Virtual Helmet assembly factory who possess unparalleled loyalty and are willing to accept low wages. I have already found such workers. I wonder if twenty thousand will be enough for the factory's needs?"
"Twenty thousand?"
Mark muttered, "That’s certainly enough, but are you sure they can meet both of the boss's conditions at the same time? This isn't a joke; what if something goes wrong at the factory?"
"Exactly. Where are you going to find twenty thousand absolutely loyal workers? I believe they’ll accept low wages, but can you guarantee they won’t rebel after a few months?"
“Soulmate Maybe I've been a bit daft from filming lately, speaking without thinking. Twenty thousand absolutely loyal workers could rise up and claim their own territory, right?”
“……”
Amidst the commotion, only Li Hong remained silent. The moment Soulmate finished speaking, he thought of the members of the Soul Clan.
He had brought the Soul Clan to Earth, and with the help of the Supreme God, their loyalty was locked in place—this meant absolute loyalty.
With Soulmate emerging as the leader of the Soul Clan, salary and benefits could be negotiated. Since there was no need to worry about the loyalty of the Soul Clan, they wouldn’t have to adhere to isolated production regulations. With fewer rules and restrictions, it was inevitable that salaries would decrease.
Moreover, these individuals were absolutely obedient to Li Hong, which made management easier for him.
The Soul Clan—that was them!
