This was just a minor incident, and Ye Chen stopped thinking about it after dinner.
Jian Mengyi felt extremely guilty. She hadn't expected that their hard-won meeting would cause trouble for the other party. She could imagine that the Du brothers would not let it go so easily. Today they had become enemies, and there would be plenty of trouble coming their way in the future.
However, Jian Mengyi was not a womanly woman, and she was still very happy and sweet about Ye Chen standing up for her today.
"There's no other way, I can only stay here for one day. I have to leave tonight to go to the Awakeners University in Washington for recruitment. My parents have already made arrangements!" After dinner, Jian Mengyi hugged Ye Chen and said reluctantly.
"Alright then! Take care of yourself!" Ye Chen nodded helplessly, not expecting that they would have to part ways again so soon after meeting.
"Yes, you will too. After the fall recruitment season, you'll be going to the Cave of Time, right? Thirty years. You won't have forgotten me by the time you come out, will you?" Jian Mengyi asked with a hint of worry. They were both not even thirty years old yet, and they were going to be separated for thirty years.
"No, I'll definitely remember you!" Ye Chen comforted her, but Jian Mengyi became more and more frightened the more she thought about it.
"No! I have to tell my mom that I want to go with you to a Time Cave to develop for thirty years!" Jian Mengyi suddenly said before leaving, and then boarded the plane to the Awakener University in Washington.
Hearing her words, Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. Thirty years? It's not that easy. If he and Fatty hadn't given up 20% of the shares, Qin Yang probably wouldn't have agreed to their request to enter the Thirty-Year Time Cave in one go. The resources required for this are immeasurable. Even if Jian Mengyi's family is well-off, they can hardly afford it.
"Let's go! Jian is a very good girl, but when it comes to relationships, it all depends on fate. Let's wait until thirty years later!" Patting Ye Chen on the shoulder, Wang's father comforted him.
Compared to the youthful passion of Fatty and Ye Chen, this old father understands the helplessness and hardship of life better. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
"Okay!" Ye Chen nodded and returned to the hotel with them.
After two days, they had made good progress. Excluding Ye Chen, they had recruited three Awakened Ones, all of whom were talents urgently needed for the development of Ye Chen's territory.
Moreover, the contracts these people signed with the territory were all lifelong contracts, which meant that Ye Chen could absolutely trust them. As long as his territory remained intact, they would, in principle, be absolutely loyal to him.
The recruitment process was progressing much faster than they had anticipated, so instead of rushing to the Huaxia Awakener University for further recruitment the next day, they spent a few days relaxing in Chang'an City, partly to rest and partly to wait for the arrival of the others.
The very next day, Ye Chen had already completed the formalities at the school and brought Ding Siyin to the hotel.
Unlike Ding Siyin's talent for taming beasts, Ye Chen's talent is a true command talent, which is even considered highly sought after among many lords.
Her talent is called Divine Radiance, which not only allows her attacks to inflict divine damage, but also buffs her subordinates with this effect, increasing the number of people buffed as her strength increases.
A Tier 1 talent can only benefit a maximum of ten people, Tier 2 a hundred, Tier 3 a thousand, and so on.
Once Ye Chen's strength reaches the fifth or even sixth rank, he will be able to buff hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and the power of the buff's divine damage will also increase accordingly. At that time, when the army attacks, darkness will have no power to resist.
"Are we only going to Huaxia Awakener University again? There are quite a few excellent Awakener Universities on Blue Star. Should we recruit more people back?" Ye Chen asked, looking at the personnel information that Ye Chen had recruited.
When a lord returns to Earth, who wouldn't recruit seven, eight, or even ten Awakened Ones? Yet Ye Chen and Fatty have only recruited four people together, and if you include Tao Ping who hasn't returned yet, that's only five. That's far too few.
"No need. Quality over quantity is important. As long as I have the talent I truly need, that's enough!" Ye Chen shrugged and said. Xia Qingyi and Kong Jingming were in charge of finance and education in the territory, respectively, while Ding Siyin was in charge of animal ecology. Everyone had their own precise role, which he thought was the best situation.
"Alright! You're the lord, so you decide!" Ye Chen nodded, not arguing about the matter. "Then the talents you need to find now are people specializing in internal affairs, ecology, meteorology, and other fields, especially those in internal affairs, right?"
“Excellent! Especially in terms of internal affairs. I’ve recruited a group of people from different races, and the goblins on Fatty’s side are even more difficult to manage, so we urgently need some people to manage these clans!” Ye Chen said.
“In that case, we can just go to the Auxiliary Training Institute at the Huaxia Awakener University. They have specialized auxiliary talent training programs, and both the scale and quality are quite impressive!” Ye Chen continued, as she knew more about the Awakener University than Ye Chen did.
Ordinary Awakener Universities struggle to train even combat professionals, let alone support professionals who face even greater employment challenges. Only world-renowned institutions like Huaxia Awakener University can produce truly outstanding support professional schools.
"I see! Okay, we've had enough fun, let's go check out the China Awakener University tomorrow!" Ye Chen nodded. He didn't know much about this, but since Ye Chen said so, there must be something to it.
Before they knew it, they had been playing in Chang'an City for a week. Even Ye Chen went out shopping a few times after returning. Xia Qingyi and Kong Jingming were also in place. Even Tao Ping had brought his parents from his hometown.
The presidential suite at the Emperor's Palace Hotel was already full of Ye Chen and his group. He was even considering whether Tao Ping and Fatty should stay at the Heaven on Earth.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it. More and more lords are returning to Earth to recruit, and hotels in big cities like Chang'an are already full, making it difficult to book rooms. It's better to let them occupy the positions for now, and then we'll kick them out when we recruit more people later!
When Ye Chen and his group finally rested enough and arrived at the Huaxia Awakened University for recruitment, they couldn't help but feel the meaning of the saying "enemies meet on a narrow road".
Not only did he run into several high-ranking lords at the same time, but they were all old acquaintances!
