Chapter 501 Testing Liu Menghan (shuhaige.net)

Chen Yu, who had been standing to the side, was not surprised to see that Liu Menghan had passed Yang Yue's test.

After all, he and Liu Menghan had known each other for a long time and he was well aware of her strength and potential.

However, his concern about Liu Menghan was never about her abilities, but about her as a person.

Liu Menghan is too scheming and has a high IQ, so he can't see through her at all, which makes him both admire and wary of her.

Chen Yu knew that in this complex and ever-changing world, cunning and intelligence were often the keys to survival and success, but they were also a double-edged sword. If used well, they could overcome all obstacles; if used poorly, they could hurt others and oneself.

Chen Yu stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked down at the magnificent Tianyu Base below the mountain. He said, seemingly casually, "Xiao Liu, you must be tired from your journey. How do you feel about your first time at the Tianyu Base headquarters?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Menghan slightly turned her head, her gaze meeting Chen Yu's. Her deep eyes seemed to hold countless unspoken words.

"Mr. Chen, the development of Tianyu Base headquarters has completely exceeded my expectations. It's hard to imagine that such a large-scale, well-equipped base could be established in this extremely cold and apocalyptic world where resources are scarce and the environment is harsh. Not only does it have advanced technology and equipment, but more importantly, I see the hope and determination radiating from everyone's face. Compared to headquarters, the Haidu branch base is still quite inferior," Liu Menghan said earnestly, a hint of emotion on her face.

"Hehe, the Haidu branch base is only a little younger and has relatively limited resources. It's already quite good that it has achieved what it has now." Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "Whether it's the branch base or the headquarters, they are both an integral part of Tianyu. Their goal is to revitalize human civilization and overcome this unprecedented natural disaster. We must not have any competitive mentality."

Liu Menghan nodded thoughtfully, a deep thought flashing in her eyes. "Mr. Chen is absolutely right. I understand that every base carries an important mission, regardless of size, all striving for the future of humanity. Although the Haidu branch base started relatively late, we have been working hard to catch up, hoping to contribute to the headquarters' strategic plan."

"I'm pleased that you think this way, Xiao Liu." Chen Yu's tone carried a hint of approval. "Remember, unity and cooperation are the foundation for us to overcome all difficulties. Tianyu Base's achievements today are inseparable from the contributions and efforts of everyone."

Suddenly, Chen Yu changed the subject: "Chief Qiao is currently holding three positions and is extremely busy. I heard that you were also in charge of some management work at the branch base before. Would you be interested in temporarily helping him with some of the tasks?"

Liu Menghan was slightly taken aback, then a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Of course I'm willing, Mr. Chen. I've always hoped to make more contributions to the base, and it would be a great honor for me to have the opportunity to assist Chief Qiao."

Chen Yu nodded, then turned to Qiao Meng: "Qiao, tell me about your current position."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Meng smiled wryly and said, "Besides serving as the base director, I also hold two important positions: Minister of Resource Management and Minister of Agriculture. In the past, the Ministry of Agriculture was relatively easy because of limited resources and there were no specific tasks. However, now that our base's energy problem has been initially resolved and greenhouse agricultural production has begun to advance rapidly, I am indeed feeling somewhat overwhelmed."

Qiao Meng sighed softly, a hint of helplessness showing between her brows.

Chen Yu nodded slightly.

Then he said to Liu Menghan, "Choose one."

Upon hearing this, Liu Menghan was slightly taken aback: "What?"

Liu Menghan was clearly surprised by Chen Yu's sudden suggestion. She blinked, as if to make sure she hadn't misheard.

“Mr. Chen, you mean…” she asked cautiously.

"Which position do you want to hold: General Manager of Tianyu Base, Minister of Resource Management, or Minister of Agriculture?" Chen Yu asked casually, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

“This…” Liu Menghan looked horrified, her gaze shifting back and forth between Chen Yu and Qiao Meng.

She never expected that Chen Yu would so directly give her this choice.

The three positions of General Manager, Minister of Resource Management, and Minister of Agriculture at Tianyu Base are all at the core of power within the base, each holding a vital position in the base's development.

Any one of them would be enough to tempt anyone, let alone having them both placed in front of her to choose from.

Tianyu Base is no ordinary survivor base.

Today, Tianyu Base has branch bases throughout major cities of the Great Xia Dynasty, and its sphere of influence basically covers the entire Great Xia Kingdom.

It can be said that in this extremely cold and chaotic world where order has collapsed, Tianyu Base is already the de facto controller of Great Xia.

I've heard that in a couple of days, the base's "Cold Relief Militia Corps" will launch a "Cold Relief" operation across the entire Blue Star. At that time, in this extremely cold apocalyptic world, with the strength of Tianyu Base, who on the entire Blue Star can stop them? Who can defeat them?

This is about unifying the entire Earth!

What will these three positions mean then?

In particular, the position of "Chief of the Tianyu Base" is considered the highest-ranking leader of the entire Tianyu Base, even without considering Chen Yu's background.

A huge wave of emotions surged within Liu Menghan, and her heart pounded wildly.

"Chief of the General Staff, I want to be the Chief of the General Staff!" she shouted frantically in her heart, wishing she could immediately express her inner desire.

However, reason told her that things weren't that simple.

She had carefully studied the power structure of Tianyu Base. The core leadership, namely the base chief, the heads of the seven departments, and the commander of the "anti-cold disaster relief militia corps," all had intricate connections with Chen Yu.
