Underground Secret Laboratory!

Besides the access control system, after a comprehensive automation and intelligent transformation, J.A.R.V.I.S. now controls all the operational permissions within the Castle.

Chen Mo granted Su Wan almost all access and operational permissions, except for one place: the basement!

The Castle's basement has only one floor, but its area is similar to that of the building above, totaling more than 2,000 square meters, with a ceiling height of more than three meters. It was previously used as a wine cellar and was not decorated or partitioned by walls. Instead, it was a single, open space with only a dozen or so load-bearing square pillars evenly distributed throughout. The entire basement is very spacious.

Now, apart from the two rows of wine racks that originally only occupied a small corner, the once spacious basement is now mostly filled with dozens of pieces of equipment of various sizes.

These devices are the advanced high-precision processing equipment that Chen Mo brought back from HYDRA. In terms of technological content, technology, and precision, they far surpass the world's top equipment and are at least 20 years ahead.

After spending a fortune to upgrade the villa's security access control system and personally making some modifications and adjustments to ensure that no one could easily break into the basement, Chen Mo took these advanced devices—devices from another era that would drive governments around the world crazy—out of his spatial storage and placed them in the basement.

All of these devices are connected to the Castle's local area network and can be controlled by J.A.R.V.I.S. for automated production. With a large amount of alloys, materials, and electronic components that he brought from S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company, Chen Mo can manufacture many high-tech equipment and machinery products here.

Many of the security and smart systems for the estates and villas were upgraded and manufactured here.

Because these devices consume a lot of electricity, the Castle's own power supply is insufficient to support their normal operation. Moreover, the abnormal consumption of a large amount of electricity would easily attract the attention of relevant departments and lead to the discovery of the Castle's abnormality. Therefore, Chen Mo did not use the Castle's own power supply line.

The enormous energy consumed by dozens of devices in the entire underground laboratory is supplied by a fist-sized device in the corner of the laboratory. This miniature device, which shines with a dazzling incandescent white halo, is the energy core of the Iron Man suit, the Third-generation Arc Reactor!

This small Arc Reactor can supply energy to all the equipment in the underground laboratory for a long time. When the energy is insufficient, simply replace the palladium metal plate in the reactor, and it can continue to be used for a long time. It is very convenient, and there is no need to worry about any abnormalities being discovered by the outside world.

The next day, Chen Mo took Su Wan to the company, summoned all the company's managers, and introduced Su Wan to them. From now on, she would assist Chen Mo in handling company affairs, and she would also issue many orders on his behalf. In some ways, Su Wan would even be above General Manager Michael.

The reactions to Su Wan, the young president's assistant who suddenly appeared, varied, but no one dared to question her.

Chen Mo single-handedly saved this company from the Extremis of bankruptcy. The company's shares are entirely held by Chen Mo, with no other shareholders. The entire company is his private property, and Chen Mo has absolute authority over the entire organization. They can only obey Chen Mo's decisions.

In reality, most people only saw Su Wan because she was pretty, and because Chen Mo had suddenly inserted her into the company out of nowhere, so some misunderstandings were inevitable. Even so, they wouldn't have any major thoughts about it, and they would still strictly follow the normal work arrangements.

Chen Mo had already cleaned up the entire company. Those with ill intentions, those who were two-faced, and those who were lazy and cunning had all been driven away. What remained were those who were hardworking, conscientious, and responsible. Chen Mo was not worried that Su Wan's work would encounter any obstacles.

General Manager Michael didn't have any ulterior motives. He had the most contact with Chen Mo and knew Chen Mo better. He believed that Chen Mo hadn't recruited Su Wan just because she was pretty.

His idea was quickly proven true: compared to the mature and steady Michael, the young Su Wan was more thoughtful and energetic.

Although Su Wan is ostensibly just the president's assistant, Chen Mo has essentially entrusted her with managing the company's operations.

She did not disappoint Chen Mo's trust and high regard, and devoted herself to understanding and managing the company. While marveling at the company's tremendous changes in a short period of time and the huge profits brought by "Knight", Su Wan also discovered many problems in the company.

After all, Chen Mo had no interest in understanding, mastering, and adjusting every detail of the company. He spent most of his energy on the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of "Knight." Moreover, after cleaning up the company's parasites and cancerous elements, he did not pay much attention to the details of other aspects such as management, operations, production, and procurement.

Su Wan, who had served as the Chairman's assistant in a large group company for many years, was very knowledgeable about the company's operations and systems. After a thorough investigation, she discovered some problems. Although they were not major, they had a significant impact on the company's work efficiency and overall development.

The most direct point is employee salaries. S.H.I.E.L.D. Auto Company is currently doing very well, and the "Knight" is selling extremely well, with daily sales reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. All employees are working at full capacity, so their salaries and benefits should be adjusted and improved accordingly.

At first, Su Wan reported to Chen Mo one by one, but Chen Mo simply told Su Wan to go ahead and do it. In the end, he simply told her not to report anymore and to do it according to her own ideas.

Feeling trusted by Chen Mo, Su Wan was moved and devoted herself even more to the management and reform of the company. With the dedicated assistance of Michael and others, and after Chen Mo's efforts to revitalize the company, Su Wan's hands made it even more formal, systematic, complete, and efficient, and the work atmosphere became more positive, relaxed, and harmonious.

Everyone in the company felt the changes that occurred after Su Wan arrived. Not only were many issues related to systems and work processes optimized and resolved, but their work environment and atmosphere also changed significantly. Some requirements became stricter, while others became more relaxed and free.

Overall work efficiency has improved significantly, while the work environment has become more welcoming and harmonious.
