Is This Person's Brain Okay?

"I finally found a pretty decent job—it's not going to disappear on me, is it?"

"Who knows? Clean energy transport—what do you think the company plans to sell?"

"Electric cars?"

"The electric car market is basically saturated right now. If the new boss wants to break in at this point, it won't be easy to grab market share, right?"

"Then what could they sell? They're not planning to just produce batteries, are they?"

"Batteries have nothing to do with transport!"

"The economy's so sluggish right now—starting a business at a time like this is basically declaring bankruptcy. If you ask me, the new boss should just go sell software. At least that'd keep the company running."

"The new boss hasn't even shown up yet. Who knows if it's just some rich second-generation playing around with a startup?"

"We'd better start making plans early!"

For a time, unease spread among the company's employees. Some quickly found new jobs and went to HR to resign.

Those who could leave, left.

The remaining employees were either older and reluctant to quit, or planned to stay and see how things played out.

Shen Yu, who was pretending to be sick in the hospital, opened the subsidiary's records and saw that the acquired company had originally had over seventy employees. Now only twenty-three remained on the payroll.

Shen Yu wasn't flustered at all. Whether there were many or few employees didn't affect his upcoming plans. After all, this subsidiary would eventually be propped up by his Character Cards and subordinates.

He was only keeping these employees around to use them for earning Construction Points.

Shen Yu tapped his phone and told Ji Wu to go to the Legal Department and prepare a new contract. These remaining employees would have to sign a new agreement.

Ji Wu quickly sent a voice message: "Chairman, should we draft confidentiality clauses for these employees?"

The Aberration Containment Association was a large organization dedicated to containing Weirds and producing energy. Since joining, Ji Wu had already heard many legends about the Aberration Containment Association.

It was a towering colossus that wielded special powers, was the only entity capable of extracting energy from Weirds, and had climbed the tech tree to a certain height.

It possessed all kinds of incredible, unimaginable abilities, and the Chairman, who controlled all of this, was someone he could only look up to.

Ji Wu had once been an orphan scraping by in the slums, living day to day, never knowing if he'd see the next sunrise.

It was the Chairman who had brought him out of the slums and personally promoted him to his current position.

So, no matter what, he would stand behind the Chairman and offer all his loyalty.

"Have the new contract follow the Aberration Association's employee contract."

Shen Yu twirled his pen. This was a setting he had added earlier. As a large organization, the Aberration Association, besides core members like the Execution Department, would naturally need plenty of ordinary employees to keep things running.

And many aspects of the Aberration Association were different from other companies.

For example, the Aberration Association possessed technology hundreds of years ahead of Blue Star, had special techniques for containing Weirds, and a group of Contract Anomalists with unique abilities.

These employees, after prolonged exposure, would inevitably notice some differences. To ensure the Association's internal secrets didn't leak and its products weren't taken away, employees needed to sign strict confidentiality contracts and a series of regulations prohibiting the disclosure of the Association's secrets.

Moreover, this confidentiality contract was different from ordinary ones. If someone breached a normal contract, the worst consequence was paying damages or, at most, going to jail.

If someone breached the Association's contract, not only would they have to pay a huge penalty, but their family, relatives, friends, and everyone they'd ever come into contact with would undergo memory wiping.

In severe cases, their personality would be erased, along with their very existence. Of course, this was rarely used unless an employee did something serious that harmed the Association's interests or violated its principles.

"I understand." Ji Wu paused, then asked, "Chairman, should I explain the Association's principles to them?"

"If they're still willing to sign after reading the employee contract, then of course you can tell them about the organization's principles. After all, they'll be part of the organization too."

Shen Yu meant that once they signed the Aberration Association's employee contract, as members of the organization, they would eventually have to understand the Association's existence.

Ji Wu, having received Shen Yu's instructions, quickly went to the Legal Department to draft the contract.

When the Legal Department received his task, they looked at Ji Wu as if he were a legal illiterate.

"Manager Ji, even if we write this contract, it'd be invalid!"

Look at what was written in this contract!

As an employee of Yigui Clean Energy Transport Co., Ltd., you have the right to protect the company's interests and ensure that the company's products and information are not leaked.

That part was still normal.

What was outrageous was the punishment for breaching the contract afterward. If, due to an employee's personal actions, the company's products or information were leaked, causing massive losses, the employee would have to compensate ten times the amount of the loss. Depending on the severity and scale of the loss, measures would include, but not be limited to, memory wiping of the employee (family, relatives, friends, and anyone they'd come into contact with).

If the harm reached a certain level—such as causing destruction or reduction of a city, the world, or population—special measures would be taken, such as erasing the employee's personality or removing the employee's very existence.

The Legal Department staff read it with their scalps tingling. Though they'd seen all kinds of clueless bosses making outrageous demands, this was the first time they'd encountered a contract like this—and they were deeply shaken!

What did "erasing personality" even mean?

And "removing the employee's existence"?

Was this person out of their mind?!

"We really can't write this. This isn't just an unfair contract—if this gets exposed, we might end up in jail!"

The Legal Department staff grimaced. Resign! They were going to resign today! They couldn't stay at this company any longer!

Ji Wu said, "Just draft the contract. Oh, and if you want to keep working at the company, you'll need to sign it too."

Forced into a corner, the Legal Department had no choice but to draft a contract with utterly absurd terms according to Ji Wu's demands.

That very same day, that person submitted their resignation!

Ji Wu printed out the contract, gathered all the employees, and held a brief meeting in the lobby.

"Everyone, take a look at this contract. If you agree, sign it, and from now on you're part of the company. If you don't agree, you can submit your resignation to HR."

Over twenty employees nervously took the contracts and began reading. When they saw that after signing the employee contract, their salary would increase by 50% from the original amount, they were overjoyed!

None of them expected that this new boss wouldn't cut their benefits—instead, he raised their pay so much right off the bat.
