The next day, 10 AM.

Chen Yi went down to the first floor and greeted Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke.

"Xiaoyu, Keke, have you had breakfast? Come on, I'll treat you."

Xia Keke was speechless. She looked up and said, "Boss, it's ten o'clock. We've already been working for an hour.

Knowing you haven't eaten, Xiaoyu packed some morning tea for you."

"Brother Yi, I'll heat it up."

Qin Xiaoyu went over, took out the packed and insulated dim sum like shrimp dumplings, phoenix claws, and sticky rice chicken, heated them in the microwave, and then brought them to Chen Yi.

"See, Xiaoyu is the most thoughtful."

Chen Yi praised him and didn't stand on ceremony, picking up the still-warm breakfast dim sum and starting to eat.

When he returned yesterday, he had lunch and slept until midnight.

He woke up, ordered some crayfish and barbecue, pulled out his game console, and played Cyberpunk for a few hours. At 4 AM, he went back to sleep.

Now that he was awake, he needed to replenish his energy.

After Chen Yi finished breakfast, Qin Xiaoyu walked over with several reports and contract documents.

"Brother Yi, the laboratories that you asked Manager He to acquire have been handed over. What should we do next?"

"Are there any problematic personnel in the labs, like slackers or those just coasting?" Chen Yi asked, picking up a toothpick.

"According to the labs, no. I plan to conduct another investigation and verification in the next few days."

"Verify clearly. Fire anyone like that."

Chen Yi took the reports and glanced at them, then picked up the lab's performance report and flipped through it: "Average monthly working hours exceeding 230...

Are these researchers or research laborers? Is the nine-nine-six culture also popular in the labs?"

"Perhaps the employees are just very competitive. I looked at their previous recruitment reports. A couple of years ago, a master's degree was sufficient, but now they are even selecting the best among doctoral candidates."

"Fire the slackers, then hire more fresh graduates. Also, increase the base salary and bonuses by 30%.

Implement a flexible attendance and task-based system instead of a normal work schedule.

As long as they work eight hours or complete their assigned tasks, they can leave. Overtime is not allowed.

For research to yield results, it depends on inspiration and thought, on talent and luck.

Blindly working overtime like this, with everyone mentally exhausted, will only lead to exhaustive research and numb research.

The times have changed.

Exploitation won't make big money.

To truly make big money, you need core technology and to improve research capabilities."

Chen Yi closed the report and looked at Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke, saying, "So, we don't care about other companies, and we can't control them, but our Yifei rejects internal competition.

If you all work this hard, how can I, as the boss, dare to be lazy?"

"Long live the boss!"

Xia Keke shouted excitedly from the side.

"Thank you, Brother Yi."

Qin Xiaoyu looked at Chen Yi, a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"I will formulate some research plans for these laboratories.

I will also send them research tasks as they come up.

However, I will not interfere with their daily management. You two will be responsible.

In the future, Yifei will have more and more laboratories. It's time for you to improve your management skills."

With a few words, Chen Yi set the tone for the subsequent management and development of these laboratories.

From now on, apart from the black technologies he personally tinkered with for private use, any technologies that were to be released to the public or made public would be broken down into research tasks and assigned to these laboratories.

Then, through brainwave instruments, he would secretly provide guidance and interference, allowing these technologies to be researched and perfected step by step.

In this way, he could preserve humanity's research potential while concealing the source of the technologies he continuously introduced.

After chatting with Qin Xiaoyu and Xia Keke for a while.

At this moment, someone knocked and walked in from outside, standing tall and saluting.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Mr. Chen Yi?"

"I am. What is it?"

Chen Yi stood up and asked the person curiously.

That stance is something else.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. Here is my identification."

The person who entered took out an ID and handed it over.

Their movements were practiced and without hesitation, clearly having known Chen Yi for a long time.

The questioning just now was merely a routine opening.

Chen Yi flipped open the ID, his gaze lingering on the red seal for a moment. After comparing it with the photo, he asked, "What is it you need me for?"

"The eagle injured yesterday at sea needs Mr. Chen's help to treat it."

"I understand the eagle is injured, I'll make a call to confirm."

Chen Yi understood, but didn't agree immediately.

He took out his phone and dialed Professor Zhang.

The call connected. Chen Yi stated the unique number on the ID to confirm the person's identity, gave a few instructions to Qin Xiaoyu and the other person, and then left with them.

"Where is the eagle now?"

Getting into a Mengshi outside, Chen Yi asked curiously as the route seemed to be heading straight towards Ezhou City, "I'm heading to Rongfei, isn't the direction wrong?"

"Report, because this eagle is quite rare, to provide the best treatment, it was transported to Rongfei overnight after being brought back last night."

"The direction is wrong, you'd have to take a plane to get to Rongfei."

"Report, commercial flights have too many passengers. To ensure Mr. Chen's safety, we are taking a special plane."

Two hours later.

The Mengshi arrived at a remote base in Ezhou City.

Seeing the twin-seater No. 20 Mengshi, Master Wei, already warming up on the runway with ground crew surrounding it for pre-flight checks, Chen Yi was stunned.

This special plane...

Wasn't it a bit too badass?

"Brother, are you sure someone with my build can handle this kind of plane?"

Chen Yi turned his head, looking at the brother who brought him with a mix of disbelief and excitement.

It wasn't that he wasn't thrilled playing with drones, performing supersonic maneuvers, hypersonic sprints, racing in critical spaces, or even venturing into space.

But when it came to actually riding in one.

Chen Yi was self-aware.

He didn't even need supersonic speeds or aerobatics.

Simple subsonic acceleration or turns could make him black out and vomit.

"Mr. Chen, please rest assured, our pilots are professionals and will not cause you any harm."

The brother who picked him up comforted him with a serious expression.

Soon, the plane's inspection was complete.

A pilot in his thirties walked over and saluted Chen Yi.

After inspecting the aircraft and confirming everything was in order, the pilot helped Chen Yi put on a flight suit, briefed him on the precautions during flight, and then they boarded.

"Brother, I'm boarding now. Thank you for bringing me here."

Chen Yi patted the brother who escorted him, his expression a mix of excitement and nervousness as he climbed into the back seat.

Riding in a fighter jet.

And it was the latest twin-seater No. 20 Mengshi, Master Wei.

This experience was definitely more thrilling than any bungee jump, pendulum ride, or roller coaster.
