Walking into a Trap

The functions of the Homo sapiens Company's Human Resources Department have expanded significantly.

Previously, it was only responsible for recruitment, training, and employee records; now, it has added employee performance evaluations, position inspections, reassignment assessments, internal employee complaints, and adjudication of internal employee disputes.

The gradually improving internal management regulations of the Homo sapiens Company now cover virtually all aspects of the business.

As a Soldier, the Department Head of Human Resources, Duke, ensures the fairness and impartiality of the Human Resources Department, neither favoring middle or high-level employees nor dismissing the concerns of lower-level employees.

The Homo sapiens Company allows subordinates to report their superiors, and they can even receive rewards if the evidence is conclusive.

However, false accusations will also incur corresponding penalties.

In reality, the Internal Affairs Department's monitoring of the Homo sapiens Company is so thorough that it's almost all-encompassing, making it virtually impossible to wrongly accuse an employee.

In the more than two months since construction began, the Human Resources Department and the Internal Affairs Department have joined forces multiple times to deal with eight seriously problematic employees, including both ordinary employees and middle management.

Li Qingye does not favor surprise inspections for company internal rectification; instead, he prefers a regular, ongoing approach.

After all, in his memory, he "personally experienced" the Xin Xin Company's decline from initial unity to an unrecoverable state.

It wasn't that his father hadn't dealt with the issues; he just didn't prioritize them at the beginning. By the time the rot had festered into a vested interest group, it became very difficult to handle.

He will not allow the Homo sapiens Company to follow the same path as the Xin Xin Group, so he must take precautions from the outset and nip those "vermin" in the bud.

In fact, the role of Soldiers within the company is akin to that of highly intelligent computers.

While computers are rigid, they also adhere to their programming meticulously.

Humans have desires, which often lead to artificial distortions in the transmission of instructions up and down the chain of command.

For example, if General Manager Fang Xin Cheng issues an instruction stating that he will inspect Haitian Agriculture tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock.

His secretary might relay this as the General Manager inspecting at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon; by the time the instruction reaches Haitian Agriculture, it might become "Mr. Fang will inspect the company at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so everyone should arrive an hour early to prepare."

This is human nature; with each additional exchange of information, the information itself can become distorted.

Soldiers, however, do not behave this way; if the instruction is three o'clock, it means three o'clock.

Therefore, Li Qingye needs both Soldiers and natural persons; they can complement each other and also correct each other's shortcomings.

While Li Qingye was busy researching biotechnology and simultaneously monitoring the company's internal development.

Chen Jianxiong, after more than two months of familiarization, had finally completed the initial integration of the Security Department's various teams and began to gradually advance the previous tasks for each team.

For instance, the second team (Japan group) and the third team (Fernando group) were tasked with providing suitable experimental subjects for the Internal Affairs Department.

To date, the Security Department has supplied a total of 86 experimental subjects to the Internal Affairs Department.

These modified Soldiers have also been gradually dispersed throughout Luzon and various Southeast Asian countries, meticulously establishing intelligence outposts.

As for the comprehensive infiltration of the Fernando family, Chen Jianxiong personally directed the operation. They have already gained control of one of Mada's uncles, and the next target is Mada's brother, Garfield Fernando.

Manila.

Inside a villa belonging to the Fernando family.

Jacques Fernando raised an eyebrow as he listened to the butler's report: "It seems Mada's cooperation with that Homo sapiens Company has made him quite a profit!"

"Young Master Garfield seems somewhat dissatisfied. He hopes Young Master Mada will hand over a portion of the profits, as the entire Fernando family is contributing to these collaborations," the butler relayed Garfield's words to Jacques.

Jacques smiled and shook his head: "Let Garfield talk to Mada himself. If he doesn't have the capability, do you expect me to help him?"

The butler nodded: "Very well, Master. I will inform Young Master Garfield."

Clearly, Jacques was not concerned about Mada monopolizing the profits. Although he didn't particularly like his eldest son, the family needed a strong leader to prosper.

If he favored one son over the others, would that son be able to rest easy? No, such actions would only lead to the decline of the Fernando family.

If he cannot even defeat his own brothers, how can he inherit the entire family? Even if he becomes the heir, will others respect him?

Therefore, Jacques would never interfere in his sons' struggles, as long as no lives are lost, any other means are permissible.

In Sorsogon, a southern city on Luzon Island, Garfield gritted his teeth and smashed his phone after hearing his subordinate's report.

Although he and Mada are brothers, they do not share the same mother, and their relationship is extremely hostile.

Suddenly, a subordinate rushed in: "Young Master Garfield, Radis is here."

"What is he doing here? Didn't he just go looking for trouble with Mada a while ago?" Garfield thought for a moment, then instructed his subordinate to invite him in. After all, Radis was his uncle, and despite their poor relationship, he couldn't refuse to see him.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a slicked-back hairstyle and a thick gold chain walked into the living room.

"Garfield, it's been a long time," Radis said, patting Garfield's shoulder with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

A flicker of disgust flashed in Garfield's eyes, but he didn't react. He merely asked coldly, "So, Uncle Radis, what brings you here? You're not here to talk about family ties, are you?"

"Heh heh, Garfield, you know I went to see Mada a while ago, right?"

Garfield remained silent.

"Mada, that scoundrel, made such huge profits and didn't even think of sharing them with us. Are you just going to let it go? If that's the case, then you might as well go back to Manila and be your meek second young master." Radis said calmly.

Hearing this, Garfield finally couldn't hold back: "What are your plans?"

Radis said fiercely, "It's very simple. We'll join forces, along with the second brother's side, to put pressure on Mada. If he doesn't agree to give up a portion of Haitian Agriculture's shares and engineering quotas, then we don't need to be polite with him."

"Join forces? Alright." Garfield didn't hesitate and immediately asked, "Uncle, how do you plan to apply pressure? Just go over there directly?"

Radis said directly, "Of course, what else do you want? Charge in with people? Wouldn't that make the other families laugh? This is an internal family matter. If Mada is sensible, I naturally don't want to escalate things, otherwise your father won't let us off."

Garfield also realized this.

This was indeed an internal family matter. Even if they went in person, Mada wouldn't dare to kill them, considering his father had more than just two sons.

If they were killed, Mada wouldn't be able to inherit the family.

Their purpose in going this time was to force Mada to compromise. If they escalated things from the start, Mada would be put in a position where he couldn't back down, and both sides would have no choice but to fight to the bitter end.

Therefore, Garfield agreed with Radis's approach.

Soon, the uncle and nephew each brought five or six bodyguards and met up with Harry Fernando, who had rushed over from another city. He also brought five or six bodyguards.

The group headed directly to Mada's current location—Limanan City.

However, upon arriving, Mada's subordinates in the city informed the uncle and nephew, along with Harry Fernando, that Mada was currently discussing matters with the Chairman of the Homo sapiens Company at Darte Port. If they wanted to see Mada, they would have to go to Darte Port themselves.
