As a company with relatively good benefits and easy-going leaders, if the boss says to arrive at 3 o'clock, then the employees will definitely not be late than 3 o'clock.

The company's employees in leadership positions, such as supervisors and managers, all have cars.

Many ordinary employees also own cars.

It's not that Wu You's company really offers such high salaries and benefits that one could afford a car after only two months of operation.

It's because many young people in the Qiantang area have cars bought for them by their families right after graduation. Although they don't account for all of them, there are still a considerable number.

Around 2:30 p.m., more than a dozen cars of various brands drove up to that small valley.

This is the company's seedling unloading point. A large, flat cement square has long been built, which is more than enough for parking.

Wu You was still at home at this time. Xugou Village was not far from here; it only took less than 10 minutes to drive to the small mountain valley.

When it was a few minutes before 3 p.m.

The Maybach Zeppelin drove in from the asphalt road outside.

After Wu You got out of the car, he saw the employees who were already waiting on the side.

To be honest, he was a rather incompetent boss. Apart from the key personnel, he couldn't even remember the names of many employees, only having a vague impression of them.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for him, he went over to greet them, while Garuru remained inseparable from him.

"Xiang Biao, are all the people here?"

I still prefer to ask Xiang Biao first.

"Aside from those on business trips and staff from other branch farms, all 36 people at headquarters have arrived."

Wu You smiled and nodded to everyone, then patted Wang Hui on the shoulder.

"Alright, let's go into the mountains. Don't worry about getting your shoes and pants dirty; the company will reimburse you next time."

...

There is a small path in the mountains that looks like it has been pressed out by heavy objects over a long period of time. The soil and rocks have been compacted, and it is not difficult to walk on it at all.

Although some vegetation has been planted on a small section of the outer hills, it still does not appear very dense.

Once you pass the outer perimeter, the road into the mountains becomes difficult to travel.

Many people have already started sweating.

However, the surrounding greenery is becoming increasingly abundant.

Wang Hui asked Wu You curiously.

“Mr. Wu, Shiniu Mountain wasn’t like this before, was it? I remember the records showed it as a hill that had been almost completely cleared of vegetation.”

Wu You smiled.

"Otherwise, do you think our ecological projects are just for show? These are naturally our achievements."

The group chatted and laughed as they went inside, and in some places they needed to help each other climb.

As you venture deeper, the surrounding vegetation becomes increasingly lush and vibrant.

It doesn't look like it was artificially grown at all.

All the trees were lush and leafy, as if they had taken root and grown here from seedlings.

But Andy Lau doesn't think so, because he is in charge of most of the seedlings and can identify which batch some of the trees are from.

Not only are these trees growing well, but their trunks also seem to have grown a bit bigger, well, they seem to have.

Because the speed was not fast, it took almost half an hour to get close to the true "inside" that Wu You had marked.

Behind a dense patch of vegetation, a wall made of vines came into view.

The wall, covered with tiny, scattered flowers, averages over three meters in height and looks like it was formed by many vines naturally intertwining and growing together.

This amazed many employees who had never been to Wu You's home.

A few meters away from the perimeter of the vines, there are some eye-catching signs reminding people that the vines are dangerous and should not be approached, and that the area inside is private property.

The section of the wall that they had to pass through lay flat on the ground, as if a gap had been deliberately opened in the wall for them to pass through.

Wu You had already taken the lead and gone inside.

Everyone understands that the inside is the real "development zone" for the company's projects, while the outside areas are just buffer zones.

Because the vine wall obstructs the view, it's not very noticeable from the outside.

Once inside, the vegetation felt even more lush than outside, and the temperature was noticeably cooler.

The air is getting fresher and fresher.

Walking in the mountains no longer feels like being in undeveloped wasteland, but rather a real forest.

Some employees even saw a huge tree in the distance that required two or three people to hug, something that would never happen with the seedlings purchased by the company.

If you see one or two such places, you can attribute them to the original remnants of the mountains. But as they appear more and more frequently, many people want to take out their phones to take pictures.

This no longer resembles a barren mountain being greened, but rather a primeval forest with rolling hills.

However, this was of course stopped by management, and the company's project is currently in a confidential phase.

Everyone felt a sense of awe and admiration, but gradually some began to have doubts.

Almost everyone here has read the basic information about Shiniu Mountain and knows what this small mountain range used to be like.

Although many people have this idea, they are mostly appreciating it out of curiosity.

After all, this is his own company's property.

Among these people, the only ones who could probably think of something were Xiang Biao and Hua Zai, who silently mourned for Wang Dong who couldn't come.

No one noticed, or realized.

Walking in such a jungle, there should be many snakes, insects, and rodents.

But now, not only snakes, but not even mosquitoes come to bite them. Perhaps it's because there's no disturbance that they haven't thought of it.

...

It has taken a full two hours to get here, which is due to both the long distance and the difficult mountain path.

Some employees were already whispering about where their boss was taking them.

We've seen enough of the greenery.

These murmurs hadn't been going on for long.

The procession seemed to have broken through some kind of barrier, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

It is still full of greenery and vitality.

However, everyone soon noticed something and stopped in their tracks.

Some people clenched their hands in excitement, some pinched their cheeks to see if they were dreaming, and others rubbed their eyes vigorously.

But their gazes were all directed towards the upper front.

There, a colossal tree stands tall, captivating everyone's thoughts. Looking at it, a sense of emotion inexplicably wells up within one's heart.

That sense of intimacy is like witnessing the nurturing power of nature.

Even with your head held high, it seems you can't see its end.

The sky above was completely covered by a green cloud.

Its weathered surface, majestic trunk, and branches all remind people that it has witnessed the changes of time and history.

"Is this the World Tree from mythology?" someone asked quietly.

Wu You answered the question loudly.

"No, it's called the Mountain Tree. Like you, it's an employee of the Beast Manor. But one day, it will grow into a true World Tree."

Wu You had already overlooked the suffix "biotechnology company".

"Now, let's see what kind of company you are in."

As soon as Wu You finished speaking, a series of slight tremors began to emanate from the ground, and in the distance, the roars of beasts began to appear one after another.

A terrifying dragon's roar approached.
