Fortunately, the group didn't have to wait long after entering the hotel. They had just sat down when Fatty and Si Meng walked in together.
"Wow! So fast? You seem a little weak!" Ye Chen teased with a smile when he saw the two of them.
"Go to hell!" the fat man said irritably, and sat down next to Ye Chen with Si Meng.
In such a short time, the two of them naturally couldn't do anything. Ye Chen was just joking around. However, apart from some awakened individuals who dared to echo such jokes, the group of executives led by Yu Fei didn't dare to utter a sound. You have to know that these are the three major shareholders of the entire Duobao Group.
"Alright, everyone's here, let's eat. Si Meng, you girls must be hungry too, right? Yu Fei, hurry up and bring the dishes!" Seeing the two of them sit down, Ye Chen smiled and shook his head, then greeted everyone.
If these few people don't start eating, the others probably won't either. Although they're usually very casual with each other, even a carefree Awakened like Ding Siyin still pays attention to etiquette in such formal settings.
"Come on! Eat! Meng'er~~~ This fish oil tastes great, and it's good for your skin and complexion, you should try it!" The only one who really didn't care was probably Fatty, who would put whatever delicious food he saw into Simeng's bowl, afraid that she wouldn't get any.
However, since both of them were major shareholders, Ye Chen remained silent, and the others didn't say anything to avoid making things awkward. Everyone ate their meals in peace. You see, in order to welcome Si Meng, Fatty had looked for several hotels in advance, just to find the best one, since most hotels' food was inedible.
"Gentlemen, are we heading back to the Science Park after dinner?" Yufei asked the group halfway through the meal.
Because of Ye Chen and the others, everyone started eating right away without drinking any alcohol, so the meal was eaten very quickly. In just half an hour, they had almost finished eating, and Fatty was even preparing fruit for Si Meng after the meal.
"Let's rest here at the hotel for today. You can go back later. We'll see how things go tomorrow or the day after. I'll let you know in advance!" Si Meng said.
She had just returned and wasn't in a hurry to deal with matters at the company. Besides, Ye Chen and Fatty were both back, so she needed to catch up with them first and then give them a rundown of the company's affairs. They probably didn't even know how powerful Duobao Group really was.
“Okay!” Yufei nodded without saying much. Most of the people at the table were lords and awakened beings, and their powerful auras put a lot of pressure on ordinary people like her.
After the meal, everyone dispersed. The Awakened Ones were all familiar with their respective lords, so there was no need for formalities. For them, returning to Blue Star was a time for rest. Since there was no work, they could go and have fun. Only Xia Qingyi and the others were a little tired, as they still had to continue to learn about the internal affairs of the Duobao Group.
However, after learning about this, Si Meng also stopped the awakened ones she had brought and asked them to accompany her. These people were the core awakened ones who worked with him to run the Duobao Group. They knew much more than ordinary people like Yu Fei and the others, especially about the lord.
Despite not having seen each other for decades, Si Meng was not at all estranged from the two, chatting familiarly with Ye Chen and the fat man. It was just a pity that Jian Mengyi left too quickly, otherwise they could have met again.
Fortunately, Ye Chen will be staying in the Blue Star plane for a long time this time, so it doesn't matter.
"So you two became new instructors? You're going to open Time Caves for the new recruits?" Si Meng was stunned when she heard the purpose of Ye Chen and Fatty's return. She didn't expect that the two of them had only gone to the Maya Plane and returned as new instructors. Most importantly, they even obtained the incredibly expensive Time Caves? Are these really the new recruits from the same cohort as her?
You have to understand, she is the head of Duobao Group, with endless resources at her disposal. Even so, she has only just broken through to the fourth rank. Her top combat power still relies on the support of those high-level awakened individuals recruited at great cost and the protection of official connections. Otherwise, with their development speed, they would have been crushed by Wanwu Tower long ago.
“That’s right. Once things are settled on Blue Star, you can also train in the Time Cave. After all, the Time Cave doesn’t take up your Blue Star stay rights!” Ye Chen nodded and smiled. Obtaining the Time Cave in twenty years was something even he hadn’t expected.
"Then I'll have to take full advantage of your fame!" Si Meng said with a light laugh.
"Hey! What are you saying? The Duobao Group has developed to this size all by yourself!" Ye Chen laughed. None of them expected that Si Meng could develop the entire Duobao trading network to its current scale in just twenty years.
It should be noted that what she held in her hand was nothing more than the Multi-Treasure Trading Disc technology, the first generation of Primordial Armor and Primordial Mecha, which were given to her by the fat man. Those items were already completely obsolete for the two of them now.
Not to mention the Primordial Armor, which has already developed to the fourth generation, and the Primordial Mech, which has developed to the seventh level, the communication and transmission functions of the Duobao Trading Network have already been iterated countless times in the Maya Plane. The Duobao Trading Network that Si Meng is currently selling cannot even be upgraded and can only be updated by replacing the hardware.
Hearing Fatty's words, Si Meng was completely stunned. She did not expect that Fatty's technological development could have made such great progress in just twenty years. You know, the trading website of Wanwulou is updated every few decades.
"I suddenly feel that I should have let you come back sooner. If we had brought back these technologies earlier, we could have crushed Wanwulou with a single slap!" Si Meng said with a wry smile.
Although they have been eroding Wanwulou's business over the years, the real threat came in the first few years. After that, with Wanwulou's continuous technological innovation and its large base of old users, they gradually recovered and began to compete with Duobao.
Especially in recent years, taking advantage of Duobao's lack of foundation, they have been constantly recruiting newcomers to the Duobao Group, which has made the group's development much slower than expected, giving her a real headache.
If we had acquired this level of technology back then, Wanwulou would probably have had no chance to turn things around and would have been crushed.
"Hehe! It's not like the Maya plane is blocked and we can't come back, it's not too late to come back now, right? Just in time!" Upon learning of Si Meng's predicament, the fat man chuckled slyly, thinking that it was always better to offer help in times of need than to add to someone's good fortune.
