Reshuffling

September's weather changed as quickly as it was spoken.

After a storm, Kang Nan brought Baffart back to the company headquarters.

Due to Li Jinglan's sudden death, the atmosphere of the impromptu meeting was somber and oppressive.

Following a series of recent internal adjustments, the company's current management team consists of 7 people. Besides the deceased Li Jinglan, the remaining 6 are:

Zaxi, head of the Aquaculture and Processing Division;

Lin Qiang, head of the Transportation and Fishing Division (formerly a captain at Daya Company);

Fili, head of the Internal Affairs Department (Soldier No. 8);

Fang Xin Cheng, head of the Finance Department;

Chen Jian Xiong, head of the Security Department;

Fami, head of the Logistics Department (recruited by Li Jinglan from Manila);

Previously, Li Jinglan was the General Manager, primarily managing business cooperation, personnel, and investments.

"I deeply regret Manager Li's passing," Li Qingye said, his expression unperturbed. The six management members dared not voice any opinions.

He continued, "Minister Fang Xin Cheng will temporarily act as General Manager, and Jose will take over the Finance Department. Any objections?"

The others exchanged glances quickly, and no one voiced any objections.

Fang Xin Cheng, who had been singled out, was greatly surprised.

Jose was, in fact, one of the Soldiers, a mole previously planted in the Finance Department.

Li Qingye chose Fang Xin Cheng because he valued the man's honesty and integrity.

Since becoming head of the Finance Department, he had not embezzled funds or falsified accounts. He had only done his best to reduce the company's taxes within legal bounds and had repeatedly thwarted the corrupt actions of Li Jinglan and others.

Through Jose's observations, Li Jinglan had hinted to Fang Xin Cheng several times, hoping he would cooperate with certain matters. Each time, Fang Xin Cheng had refused without hesitation, even reporting these incidents directly to Jose.

Li Qingye finally understood why Fang Xin Cheng's work history showed him never staying long in any job, and why, nearing forty, he had achieved nothing.

The man was simply too straightforward.

Clearly, such a person would not be popular within the company. Unless he reached management level immediately, most modern company managers would dislike such individuals. Perhaps the chairman of a family business might appreciate someone like him.

Fortunately, he met Li Qingye, who, while building his team, allowed Fang Xin Cheng to bypass the ordinary employee level and become a member of management.

Within the management team, Li Jinglan could not fire him. Even when Li Qingye saw through Li Jinglan's attempts to make things difficult for Fang Xin Cheng, he understood everything.

The company did not need someone with overly strong management skills at the moment. In Li Qingye's opinion, the honest and upright Fang Xin Cheng was a suitable candidate.

After all, Homo sapiens Company focused on technological development, and the management skills of its executives were not highly demanded; a basic understanding of business logic was sufficient.

For example, the artificial breeding technology for eels was entirely a seller's market, a unique business globally. If they still managed to mess this up, they might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes.

"Additionally, Kang Nan will be in charge of the Logistics Department, and Fami will be transferred to the General Manager's office to handle project budgeting," Li Qingye continued.

Fami, the former head of the Logistics Department, dared not speak out. After all, he had been recruited by Li Jinglan. Now that Li Jinglan was dead, it was best to keep a low profile.

As for the other minor figures loyal to Li Jinglan, they would be dealt with by Fang Xin Cheng.

Following a series of adjustments, the management of Homo sapiens Company had undergone significant changes.

Chairman - Li Qingye;

General Manager - Fang Xin Cheng (from Hong Kong);

Head of Aquaculture and Processing Division - Zaxi Diaz (from Luzon);

Head of Transportation and Fishing Division - Lin Qiang (Luzon Chinese);

Head of Finance Department - Jose Sanchez (Luzon - Soldier);

Head of Internal Affairs Department - Fili Gonzalez (Luzon - Soldier);

Head of Logistics Department - Kang Nan (Luzon Chinese);

Head of Security Department - Chen Jian Xiong (from Hong Kong);

Head of Legal Department - Wang Xinya (Malaysian Chinese);

Head of Human Resources Department - Duke Martinez (Luzon mixed-race Chinese - Soldier).

The company's management was quickly adjusted. Apart from the newly added Finance and Human Resources departments, other departments continued to operate within their previous frameworks.

With the Soldiers integrated into the middle and upper echelons of Homo sapiens Company, Li Qingye's control over the company's internal affairs significantly increased.

After all, the Internal Affairs, Finance, and Human Resources departments were led by Soldiers, and the General Manager, Fang Xin Cheng, was an honest man. The others could not stir up any trouble.

Li Qingye then gave further instructions to Fang Xin Cheng, telling him to rectify internal issues while continuing the Darte Port aquaculture farm project.

Those farms would be completed soon. Coupled with the eel fry produced on Calagua Island, Homo sapiens Company could sell eel fry in small quantities while also engaging in eel farming themselves.

After the meeting, Fang Xin Cheng led the others out of the conference room.

Li Qingye sat in his office chair.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, he gazed at the sparkling sea surface of Darte Port. The ebb and flow of the tide seemed to mirror the unpredictable fluctuations of the human heart, always elusive.

He instructed Fili to drive him, and under the escort of several Soldiers and civilian bodyguards, he arrived at a plantation he owned on the west side of Darte Port.

This plantation was purchased by him a few months ago, intended as a private estate, and its renovation was just completed recently.

Mango Plantation.

The Soldiers who had previously undergone Gene Modification and had bio-chips implanted were currently here for rehabilitation training and memory simulation. This included Soldier-Takasugi Hei, Soldier-Mada, and others.

Rehabilitation training was to eliminate the incisions on the skull and scalp.

Memory simulation, on the other hand, involved continuously querying the experimental subjects' brains for original memories, then recording these memories into a database. It also listed the interpersonal relationships within those memories to establish a specialized template database for dealing with acquaintances.

This could reduce the chances of Soldiers being discovered as abnormal by their relatives, but the plan was very troublesome, requiring exclusive customization for each Soldier.

Only the high-value Takasugi Hei, Mada, and the two members of the Fernando family were eligible for exclusive customization.

One was related to the intelligence network of Japan, and the other three were among the local power brokers in the southern part of Luzon.

By controlling these individuals, Li Qingye's influence could expand rapidly.

After observing the training of the four, Li Qingye pondered some issues, such as how to handle the Fernando family's influence.

This family had people in the southern part of Luzon and Manila. Although Mada was one of the core heirs, he was not without rivals.

Mada's younger brother, as well as his second and third uncles, were not to be trifled with. As for Mada's father, Jacques Fernando, someone who could become the family head was naturally no simple person.

Fortunately, Mada being controlled had not yet been discovered, but it remained a hidden danger.

The Soldiers' ability to react to unforeseen circumstances was still too poor.

To ensure no leaks and prevent Mada, this pawn, from being rendered useless, a thorough purge of the Fernando family was necessary.

Only by making Mada the family head could the stability of the Fernando family be ensured. Otherwise, Mada's father and brothers might hinder some of Li Qingye's arrangements.

Looks like I need to have a good talk with him. Li Qingye silently thought of a figure, then arranged the next tasks for Mada and Takasugi Hei before taking Fili back to Calagua Island.

Upon returning to Calagua Island, he notified Jian Xiong to come over tomorrow at noon.
