Chapter 486: 485
"Moon..."
All were shocked. Were they... on the Moon?
Did they just reach the Moon in a matter of seconds? Are you kidding me? How did they get here?
Was it by entering that black crevice that Tang Rao had opened? Could that crevice be something like a wormhole capable of spatial travel?
Good heavens, has our technology really advanced to this extent? It's simply unbelievable.
"Alright, follow me." Tang Rao waved his hand and walked towards that immensely large lunar laboratory.
The crowd immediately followed suit.
"My God, it's simply unbelievable."
"Exactly, can even gravity be altered?"
"That building, so magnificent..."
The group was buzzing with conversation. Lunar landing, who would have thought, their workplace turned out to be on the Moon.
That's right, it seems that Blue Star is about to align with the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains. Are they here to establish interstellar laws?
Oh, this is definitely a big deal; no, it might even impact countless years of future generations.
"We're here, come on in." Soon, Tang Rao arrived at the laboratory entrance and then snapped his fingers.
The lab doors slowly opened, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the man at the door, Luo Yan was stunned for a moment. Isn't that Yan Wei?
"Let me introduce, this is Yan Wei, Blue Star's chief designer. Almost everything you see here is his work, including Illusion City, which he also created," Tang Rao said.
Without any fancy rhetoric, but even so, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Leave aside the lunar project, Illusion City alone was extremely formidable.
Calling Illusion City the most creative and progressive invention in human history wouldn't be too much; it almost provided humanity with another world.
In Illusion City, you could do almost anything.
No wonder Tang Rao said that the value created by Yan Wei could only be matched by thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Huang Dynasty's industries—just Illusion City was enough. Luo Yan thought to himself, then laughed at his own previous thoughts of showing off his superiority in front of Yan Wei. His excellence was incomparable to his own.
"Hello everyone," Yan Wei nodded, "Welcome to the lunar laboratory."
Then, Tang Rao and Yan Wei took everyone on a tour of the lab, introducing the functions and facilities of various areas. After arranging the rooms, Tang Rao took them to the office.
An office of over a hundred square meters, with constant temperature and ventilation, it even had green plants inside, beautiful as a garden.
Working here was... simply like a dream.
"Just like on Blue Star, work from nine to five, five days a week. On Star Day Six and Star Sunday, you can choose to stay here or go back to Blue Star. There is a Transmission Array outside, free to use," Tang Rao said with a smile.
Everyone's eyes lit up; they originally thought they would have to stay here all the time.
"However, you'll need to make a secret Heavenly Dao vow of confidentiality, that shouldn't be hard, right?" Tang Rao said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, this wasn't an unreasonable request.
"As for the salary, each person will have a monthly allowance of fifty thousand," Tang Rao stated.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. A monthly allowance of fifty thousand? What did he mean? Is it just fifty thousand a month for the salary, or is the additional allowance fifty thousand?
"Salary is paid annually; twenty million for each person," Tang Rao casually said, "Yan Wei, pay them this year's salary in advance."
"Alright," Yan Wei nodded.
Holy shit!
The crowd was still trying to wrap their heads around the concept. Twenty million a year, how much was that!
Work for one year, and that's enough for a lifetime.
"I'm offering you the greatest benefits in return. I hope you will also work well and come up with a complete set of regulations soon," Tang Rao said.
"Yes," the group all nodded in agreement.
Tang Rao replied affirmatively, then pointed out several things, transferring some ideas about the overview of the Seventy-two Domains and what he hoped for the legal system directly into their minds.
"Alright, you can start working now. Xiaoling ah, and Long Xinjue, you two come with me, I have other work assignments for you," Tang Rao beckoned.
Upon hearing Tang Rao's words, the two naturally followed immediately.
"Mr. Tang... Mr. Tang, what should I do?" Outside the office, Feng Qian finally couldn't help but ask.
There's not even a reception desk here, what am I supposed to do?
"Did you study accounting in college?" Tang Rao asked.
"How do you know, Mr. Tang? My major was actuarial science," Feng Qian said.
"Do you have an actuarial certificate?" Tang Rao asked.
"Yes, I just got it recently."
Long Xinjue was speechless, to make an actuary a receptionist, what a mess of human resources.
"From now on, you will be my chief financial officer; you're in charge of all the money. Yan Wei, hand over the financial matters to her," Tang Rao said.
"Finally, I can get some relief," Yan Wei heaved a sigh of relief. Honestly, he had too much to manage on his own and often couldn't keep up.
Having someone to share the load was certainly best.
As for Tang Rao stripping him of his financial powers, he never even considered it; managing money is annoying, having too much even gives you a headache.
"I... I don't have any experience," Feng Qian said.
"Who has experience from the start? Take it slow, no rush," Tang Rao said with a smile.
Since Mr. Tang had put it that way, Feng Qian didn't refuse any further.
"As for you..." Tang Rao looked at Long Xinjue.
This woman was quite troublesome.
Too much power given and she might become arrogant, too little and it would be a waste of talent.
"What do you want to do?" Tang Rao asked, to see what Long Xinjue herself had to say.
"Whatever you arrange for me, Mr. Tang, that's what I'll do," Long Xinjue said.
Tang Rao: "..."
You're passing the buck to me.
"We're still short a janitor here, will you do it?" Tang Rao asked.
Long Xinjue was startled for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "If Mr. Tang wants me to be the janitor, then I'll be the janitor. There's nothing I can't do."
Tang Rao was speechless. I've gone to great lengths to get you here, just to hire a janitor? Am I sick?
"Skinny Monkey, brief her on the current business layout and then help me draft a comprehensive business strategy," Tang Rao told Long Xinjue.
"Okay," Long Xinjue nodded, her face showing a faint smile.
"Alright then, that's settled, I've got some other business." Having said that, Tang Rao didn't linger and left quickly.
News had already come from the Seventy-two Domains; Mei Fanghua had completely fallen out with Soul Capture Pavilion.
But interestingly, Jiang Guan and Qin Sheng, the two Great Judges, were the first to start fighting.
Of course, Tang Rao knew the reasons well; it must have been those videos that played a role.
Since chaos had already erupted, Tang Rao felt he'd be doing a disservice to himself if he didn't get involved, given all the plots he had been weaving.
