Han Ling's gaze swept across Roderick's cheek, and a smile played on her lips:
"We're on the same wavelength, that's what I was thinking too, but we can't let them stay for free."
I'll secretly develop the Southern Hemisphere into a place for the Yao tribe to live. I'll give them a place to stay, and they'll have to give me some credits or work for me for a few years.
The Yao clan remains in the river of time, and everyone may see history differently.
While they're resting, I'll take the opportunity to extract the knowledge they've acquired over the years.
The Yao Clan, who have crossed the universe, need a place to settle down, a job that can provide for their basic needs, and a way to accumulate credits.
Just as Han Ling was unwilling to be supported by Roderick, the rest of the Yao Clan certainly wouldn't want to be kept by female insects either.
Therefore, staying on Han Ling's planet for a month or a few years would be a good option.
Han Ling and Roderick exchanged a smile and continued looking at the conference display boards.
Parsons was still explaining the layout of the planet.
"Everyone can now take out their personal computers, open the content I sent, and select their residential address online."
There are plenty of houses on the planet, all with the same layout—north-facing, sunny rooms. You can freely choose where you want to stay.
As soon as Parsons finished speaking, the employees sprang into action.
They select their future residence online.
Han Ling also took out his personal terminal and, as if joining in the fun, began to discuss things with Roderick.
"We'll also choose one, so it'll be convenient to live there when we travel to other planets in the future. Where do you prefer to live? Near the mountains or by the water? Would you like it close to the main road in the residential area?"
After a while, Roderick chose a sea-view room close to the sea.
After all the employees of Lingtian Company had chosen their houses, the meeting came to a close.
Many employees posted on StarNet that they received villas right after graduation.
That night, before the meeting had even ended, news of Lingtian Company's relocation once again became a trending topic on the capital planet.
Most of the female insects were unaware of the cicada race's prophecy of extinction, and naturally, they were also unaware that the insect race's future was bleak and that it was about to meet its end.
They continue to live as usual, pursuing the joys and quality of life.
The female netizens, upon seeing the employee benefits at Lingtian Company, were once again filled with envy and jealousy.
It was 10 p.m.
The general meeting of Lingtian Company was dissolved.
The company's senior management meeting has officially begun.
The main purpose of this meeting was to decide the company's specific direction and work content for the next quarter.
The meeting was chaired by Han Ling and Parsons.
The directors took turns to talk about their respective departments' achievements this quarter.
"...The holographic game has progressed to 67%. In two months, the holographic version of 'Go! Top Male Insect Lord' will be officially launched, and data migration can also begin."
After all the departments had finished their reports, the finance department took the stage last.
The company's quarterly financial reports are its lifeblood.
All the senior executives waited anxiously for the CFO's report.
But several minutes passed and the CFO was nowhere to be seen.
Parsons frowned. He exercised his authority as the event organizer and arranged for the company's CFO, Sophie, to speak on the podium.
The video screen lit up, and in an ordinary student dormitory, Sophie was sitting upright in a chair, staring intently at the screen.
“Sophis? Can you begin your report?” Parsons asked earnestly.
Sophie smiled and nodded when she heard the question: "Mhm."
Parsons breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now that you're ready, let's begin."
"..."
Sophie didn't speak, but after a long pause, she lowered her head and began searching.
For a moment, the only sound in the entire conference room was the noise of people rummaging through things.
Sophie is acting a bit strange.
The phrase echoed in Parsons' mind once again.
Sophie was a classmate of Parsons.
They both attend Keimyung University.
When Parsons first started recruiting employees, Lingtian Company was like a fraudulent shell company—no reputation, no money, nothing—which made it so that no graduates dared to submit their resumes.
But then Sophie arrived.
The seven employees recruited in the first round constitute part of the current senior management of Lingtian Company.
Because they knew each other well, they often got together. Every time they met, they would marvel at how incredibly lucky they were to have chosen to work for Lingtian Company.
This action benefited them for life.
They hadn't even graduated yet, and after just one year, they received year-end bonuses of hundreds of millions of credits.
They joined Lingtian Company and rose to high-level positions by relying on luck, not ability. The female insects all knew this, so they worked exceptionally hard.
Sophie, for example, manages the company's finances and is known for his composure and meticulousness.
During this planet inspection, Sophis could have stayed at school with Parsons and not gone out.
However, in order to see the quality of the purchased items with her own eyes, Sophie still went with the inspection team.
In the past, Sophie would remember every single bill in every meeting, and the verification process would be laid out in the open.
This is the first time something like today has happened. Sophie actually started looking through financial statements during her speech.
A moment later.
Sophie, who had been looking down, raised her neck.
He projected the paper presentation onto the screen.
"This is a financial statement, in duplicate. This is the paper copy, and the other copy is on the computer..."
Sophie's voice slowly drifted out.
But the senior leaders who heard Sophie's words couldn't help but frown.
Everyone noticed one thing: Sophie was acting very strangely today.
Many people privately messaged Parsons, asking what exactly happened with Sophie.
"Holy crap! President, what's wrong with Sophie? Chairman Han Ling is still here, how dare he report like this? Does he not want to work anymore?"
—Is Sophie sick? She seems a bit sluggish, and her language system seems to be deteriorating.
"President, what happened to Sophie?"
When Parsons saw these private messages, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly. He had no idea why! He was also afraid that Chairman Han Ling would question his judgment in personnel selection!
Parsons grew angrier and angrier, his dark blue hair practically standing on end. Sophie's performance today had truly disappointed him.
Just then, Parsons suddenly saw that Han Ling had also sent him a message.
Han Ling asked:
What's wrong with the CFO? He looks tired. Did you make him work overtime? Our company doesn't encourage overtime, and the most difficult time for the company is over; there shouldn't be any high-intensity work. I feel like the CFO is even stuttering a bit. Is he not getting enough rest and seems a little sleepy?
When Han Ling asked him this, Parsons' heart skipped a beat. He had only intended to deduct three days' wages from Sophie, but now that Han Ling had asked, he realized he would probably have to demote Sophie.
After careful consideration, Parsons sent a message.
—Chairman, Sophie, as the CFO, volunteered to accompany the planet's inspection team two weeks ago to responsibly inspect the new office planet's facilities. He just returned to the capital planet this afternoon; perhaps he really didn't get enough rest, which led to this oversight. We attend the same university, just in different dorms. After the meeting, I'll check on him and give you an update then.
For the next ten minutes, the meeting room was silent except for Sophie reading from her prepared remarks.
Sophie seemed to be learning a new language, even the financial terminology was stumbling over, and he made a mess of what should have been a perfectly good passage.
Even a layman could tell that his pauses in his speech were not quite right.
The executives present listened to the financial report with great unease, unable to imagine how sour Han Ling's expression must be.
Sophie is so foolish! She doesn't even take high-level meetings seriously. She's really gotten arrogant after getting rich!
Ten long and agonizing minutes later.
Sophie's voice finally disappeared.
Parsons didn't summarize anything, and with a livid face, he announced the meeting was adjourned.
After the meeting, Parsons called together all the school's senior leaders.
He planned to take them to see Sophie to find out what was going on with her. If she didn't want to do the job anymore, Lingtian Company could replace her at any time.
