114: Ye Fan.

Tian Ming turned his head to look. A man in a gray down jacket, with a face full of complaints, was holding a black briefcase in his hand. From the expression on his face, it was clear that this guy was very dissatisfied.

Meng Xian's face immediately darkened, and he yelled at the man, "Ye Fan, get over here."

This man was Ye Fan, who was originally responsible for network construction at Hua Xin Group. As a top pharmaceutical company, they used an AI drug molecule large model to evaluate new drugs for their drug pre-research. Therefore, it was not surprising to have such a top expert in a pharmaceutical company.

However, Ye Fan was a very arrogant man. Such an excellent talent was usually unsmiling, and that condescending feeling could be felt by anyone from his arrogance.

But in front of Meng Xian, he dared not be presumptuous, and he also realized that his complaining was ill-timed, after all, his boss was still there.

Ye Fan quickly jogged to the two of them, forcing a smile on his face, but the smile looked stiff and ugly.

"General Manager Meng, I..."

"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Ye Fan, the chief architect of Hua Xin Group, and also an expert in networking," Meng Xian introduced them.

However, even though Ye Fan reluctantly forced a smile during the introduction, there was still a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Tian Ming, however, smiled indifferently and said, "My Shelter is far worse than your base; it's quite rubbish."

Ye Fan also knew Tian Ming's abilities and knew that he was being sarcastic, so he immediately didn't dare to speak much. Such a big shot, even General Manager Meng was respectful to him; no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't dare to disrespect Tian Ming.

"Boss, I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry." He had his pride, but he wouldn't think that his small skill could allow him to put on airs in front of Tian Ming.

Tian Ming glanced at him indifferently, but didn't say much more.

"We don't lack architects here. From now on, you'll follow Zhang Mengqi. She's considered a communications expert, but she's still lacking in other areas. Will this arrangement not be too unfair to you?" Tian Ming said indifferently.

Ye Fan felt unhappy. He just arrived, and because of one complaint, he was already being given a hard time by the boss?

"Why don't you thank the Boss quickly!" Meng Xian reminded him.

Ye Fan then reacted and said repeatedly, "Thank you, Boss."

That's what he said, but there wasn't much gratitude. But Tian Ming didn't care; it was perfectly normal for these new arrivals to have some complaints in their hearts.

"Alright, don't just stand there, Gouzi, I'm leaving it to you." Tian Ming clapped his hands and turned to leave.

"Ah, Boss, wait for me." Shen Yuan then reacted, holding the medicine in her hand, and quickly caught up with Tian Ming.

"Huh, why are you still following me? Go back and take your medicine quickly, so you can defecate after taking it," Tian Ming said.

"Vulgar. Can't you be a bit more elegant?"

Tian Ming smiled indifferently, "Tell me, how should I speak to be elegant?"

Shen Yuan's face sank, and she said, "Saying nothing at all is the most elegant. Boss, did you just annex Hua Xin Group like that?"

Tian Ming nodded and said, "Yes, is there a problem?"

Shen Yuan said with some concern, "With so many Ability Users, can you control them? I know they are all afraid of you and can't pose a threat to you, but it's different for us ordinary people. If Ability Users play tricks, commit crimes, or kill someone, it's very difficult to catch evidence."

Tian Ming stopped. What Shen Yuan said was not without reason. Even a Fourth-level Ability Users would have at least one object manipulation ability, like Sun Wentao's heating, and Pan Ting's wall-penetrating. If this caused conflict with ordinary people, then ordinary people would definitely suffer more.

"Hmm, what you said makes some sense." Tian Ming nodded slightly.

Shen Yuan said with a smile, "It's good that you can realize this. Is it an asset or a hidden danger? That depends on how you use it. I feel that after the people from Hua Xin Group arrived, the old mainstays of our Shelter are under immense pressure."

"For example?" Tian Ming asked with interest.

Shen Yuan blinked, tilted her head, and thought for a moment, "For example, Brother Gouzi, and Zhang Hao, and nearly half of the people in the Shelter, are from gangster backgrounds. How can they compete with those elites from Hua Xin?"

"You don't have to worry about that," Tian Ming said indifferently, "Everyone has their own use; just let them do their own thing."

Shen Yuan, however, shook her head, "Boss, birds of a feather flock together. The Shelter is equivalent to a small society, and social stratification will naturally form. Once stratified, it will be impossible to be of one mind. Boss, I'm just telling you this so you can be prepared. Even with perfect rules, the bottom will eventually fall back to the bottom. Just wait and see."

"Little Shen, why do I feel like you're pouring cold water on me?" Tian Ming looked at Shen Yuan, a smile on his lips, and a faint light flickering in his eyes.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Boss, I just want you to know that things won't be that simple. But the Boss must have his own thoughts and considerations, so I won't show off my meager skill before an expert."

Tian Ming stroked Shen Yuan's head. "Alright, I know you're smart. Go back and take your medicine quickly. Make sure to defecate properly. What kind of appearance is it to have a hard stomach?"

Such an intimate gesture made Shen Yuan's face flush slightly, and she said, "Don't always treat me like a child. I'm only one or two years younger than you."

"Our Shelter's scientific research capabilities will be entrusted to you two siblings. Starting tomorrow, you'll be busy. The first thing to do is to expand your Laboratory and upgrade the power system." Tian Ming changed the subject and walked with Shen Yuan to the Shelter's Talent Building.

Walking up the corridor, they saw Su Rou and Shen Yi walking towards them. Su Rou hadn't been idle during this period; she was training apprentices, but the city wall construction hadn't been completed, and the greenhouse still couldn't be started.

The Materials Group had indeed gotten her many books on greenhouse cultivation, but she had no conditions for experimentation, so she was basically still in a state of theoretical discussion.

When the two saw Tian Ming, they quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Boss."

"Boss."

Tian Ming responded indifferently and said, "Shen Yi, I'm going to expand the Laboratory tomorrow. Work hard today and find Meng Xian, the general manager of Hua Xin Group. Have him tally the number of scientific researchers and report it to me tomorrow. I'll see how much expansion is needed to meet your research needs."

"Boss, you're not going to make me lead and manage these people, are you?" Shen Yi was a bit hesitant. In fact, his personality was more introverted, and he wasn't very good at management.
