Jing Yi insisted on escorting Fang Qingdai back to the base, and only left with his brothers after watching Fang Qingdai enter the patrol area of the Xuanwu base.
They were heading directly towards the White Tiger Base to pick up his brothers.
Because of the unexpected situation involving Mao Min entrusting her team, Fang Qingdai temporarily asked Jing Yi to see if he could find out any information about Mao Yun after arriving near the White Tiger Base.
After returning to the base, she immediately met with Xiao Mao and Mao Ling and explained the Mao family's situation in detail.
"I'll have Jingyi investigate the situation first and learn more. It's better than him rushing in headfirst."
After all, when someone has been self-reliant for so many years, and may have already developed a huge force with that group of people and is living a very comfortable life, it is unlikely that a few people claiming to be your former boss will suddenly appear.
Mao Ling was somewhat dazed: "So those people are still alive. I thought... they all went with my dad!"
Mao Ling was quiet from a young age, unlike Mao Min who liked fighting and killing and dreamed of venturing into the wilderness all day long.
So she didn't train with the orphans her father had adopted, but she knew some of them.
After her father passed away, those people disappeared. Mao Ling thought they were either dead or had joined other factions, but she never expected that they were being controlled by Mao Min and had been placed in the White Tiger Base to develop in a clandestine manner.
Fortunately, Mao Min was there, which at least preserved a sliver of hope for the Mao family!
Only Xiao Mao knew nothing. He said excitedly, "My grandpa left such a powerful group of people for my mom? How long do we have to wait? I can't wait to call them back and help me deal with that old bastard!"
From my dear father to my old man, it's only been two months!
Mao Ling slapped Xiao Mao on the back of the head: "Didn't you hear what Qingdai said? Find out the situation first, then discuss how to contact those people!"
Looking at her nephew, who was clutching his head and grimacing, Mao Ling was exasperated: "Your mother was so thoughtful to hand him over to Qingdai. If he had fallen into your hands, I'm afraid the spark your mother had worked so hard to protect would have been extinguished in just two days!"
Xiao Mao laughed sheepishly, "Oh, I was just joking! I know what's important!"
Mao Ling rolled her eyes, ignoring Xiao Mao, and instead took Fang Qingdai's hand: "Thank you for your hard work. Don't worry, my sister and I think the same way. Right now, that group of people is most suitable to be in your hands!"
"You can make the arrangements however you want. If the Mao family needs to be involved, just take Xiao Mao with you!"
"Yes, yes, yes, just tell me if there's anything I can help with!"
Seeing their attitude, Fang Qingdai stopped being coy and readily accepted the team!
She really needs people right now, especially capable people.
Thinking about the population, Fang Qingdai asked Xiao Mao, "How's the recruitment of members going?"
If a brigade fails to meet the required number of personnel for two consecutive months, it will be downgraded and disbanded.
Fang Qingdai and Xiao Mao occupied the positions of two brigade leaders. The minimum number of people in each brigade is fifty. For the two brigades, at least one hundred people are needed to keep the positions of brigade leaders.
Fang Qingdai's team now has forty-one people. Although Xuan Liu joined the Superpower Group, there is no rule that core members of the Superpower Group cannot hold a position in a team. Both the large team and the small team can do so without any restrictions.
Otherwise, Fang Qingdai would have lost another person.
Xiao Mao patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, sister, it won't take two months, at most two weeks, I'll definitely get the men for both of our brigades together!"
Fang Qingdai frowned: "No, the number of people is secondary, the quality must be guaranteed!"
Don't just pull any mediocre person into the team to complete the task; none of them are worth Fang Qingdai's investment and training!
She was afraid of recruiting someone with ill intentions, only to have them betray her after all the effort she put into training them. That would truly make Fang Qingdai want to vomit blood!
She didn't plan to train short-term staff. She intended to set thresholds, recruit a group of people who already shared similar values, and carefully nurture them, gradually eroding their influence.
She is powerful enough to always attract people to follow her willingly.
Those followers will become Fang Qingdai's future team.
Thinking about the team, Fang Qingdai added, "You can look for talented kids and recruit them for us to train ourselves, just like the group your grandfather trained!"
It was Xiao Mao's maternal grandfather's actions that inspired Fang Qingdai.
She learned from Mao Min that energy nests could be detected through special means. If she could find a way to obtain the detection technology, she could follow in the footsteps of her grandfather and cultivate her own team from a young age.
They've been watching over them since childhood, how warped could their values be? Their loyalty and obedience are unmatched by other team members!
Xiao Mao became more serious and said honestly, "Don't worry, sister, I know your requirements. I didn't just pick anyone randomly; I have a target!"
When talking about the people he favors, Xiao Mao's face lit up with joy: "Most of them are friends I met when I was doing business before. Most of the people I favor come from poor families and are not doing well, but each of them is willing to sell everything of value they have for their family and friends. They all have difficulties, but they are all very loyal!"
“At first, I was thinking of helping them out, which is why I accepted their things. But they are all grateful and know that the items themselves are not worth much. After they realized that it was me who helped them, they all compensated me in some way afterward. I can sense their character!”
Fang Qingdai and Mao Ling were both somewhat surprised to hear this.
They all knew about Xiao Mao's previous brokerage business, which involved buying low and selling high, acting as a middleman.
But Mao Ling thought her nephew was just having fun and doing it for fun.
Fang Qingdai knew that Xiao Mao's business was doing well. She had initially wanted to sell water to exchange for medicine, and she had observed Xiao Mao for a long time before choosing him.
I originally thought that Xiao Mao just liked making money, was good at calculations and daring to gamble, and had a business mind. But I never expected that he was so meticulous in his work, quietly helping many people in need, and at the same time, he had silently figured out the nature of many people!
“Okay, then bring the person you’ve chosen to me so I can take another look!” Fang Qingdai was also very straightforward. By entrusting the matter to Xiao Mao, she wouldn’t worry about the details or give too much advice.
She trusted Xiao Mao's judgment. After all, it was because Xiao Mao "took a fancy" to her that he clung to her shamelessly, which is how Fang Qingdai gradually became the good half-sibling she is today!
Fang Qingdai thought narcissistically, "Xiao Mao can judge people pretty well..."
After explaining the recruitment of team members, Fang Qingdai turned around and went to find Xuan Ba.
Holding the map of the Xuanwu Base provided by Jing Yi, she pointed to the red-marked points: "Over the next few days, you and your men will survey all these locations. Also, if you know of any areas in the base where the signal is unstable, keep an eye out for any unusual activity..."
