Chapter 589: Keep an eye on them for me

Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_

At Coro Island, in the Future Building, was the headquarters of Future Group.

If it wasn't for the fact that tourists weren't permitted to enter, this place absolutely had the potential to become the most iconic landmark building, second only to ”The Heart of the Sea” on Coro Island.

Since the name of the corporation included the word ”Future,” the building was designed with a futuristic feeling. It stood at a height of 437 meters, with 110 floors above ground and 20 floors below ground. It was a skyscraper that combined offices, residences, and dining halls. The top floors offered an aerial view of the island; the middle floors could be Future Group's employees' offices and fulfill living and dining needs; the lower floors could serve as a nuclear bunker with a capacity of ten thousand people… Of course, the last function was only designed as a contingency.

Since the skyscraper officially came into service, Future Biology, Mining, Tourism and all other subsidiaries located on Ange Island as well as Celestial Trade's non-combat employees all moved there. Future Headquarters currently held 6000 employees that accounted for 20% of Xin's total population.

Needless to say, it was a terrifying percentage.

Sitting inside the Future Group building, Xia Shiyu was reporting to Jiang Chen on the current performance of the group.

Although Xia Shiyu had only been on the job for a month, she quickly displayed her talent in management, familiarized herself with Future Group's operations in the shortest possible time, and slotted herself into the role of the Group's CEO. Of course, she was able to quickly get into character partially because before she came to be the Group's CEO, Jiang Chen always left her the work he was supposed to do...

Jiang Chen didn't just sit around the past few days.

After taking care of business in Moro, he returned to Coro Island and lived life traveling between the dimensions. The plus side was that he had great help on both sides to take care of miscellaneous things. If he didn't have that help, he suspected he would be at risk of schizophrenia.

”Takeda Pharmaceutical?” When Jiang Chen heard this unfamiliar name, Jiang Chen's eyebrows furrowed.

”Yes.” Xia Shiyu nodded and hugged the tablet in her arms. ”Yesterday at noon, Takeda Pharmaceutical conducted a press conference at Yoto, announcing a significant breakthrough on the research of T virus. They're in the last stage of the clinical trial period before the vaccine will be released to the market.”

Jiang Chen gave it some thought. He tapped on his EP and connected with Lin Lin's communication terminal.

”Hello big pervert, what do you need?”

Lin Lin, with a baggy white apron, surfaced on the screen. She gently swirled a cylinder containing an unknown liquid while yawning.

Jiang Chen's eyebrows twitched and he pretended to not notice Xia Shiyu's peculiar look. He coughed.

”How's the progress on the T virus vaccine?

”Of course it's done - I'm the gorgeous scientist after all.”

”Why didn't you tell me you were done?” Jiang Chen gave her a hard stare.

Lin Lin stuck out her tongue then pouted. ”You didn't ask me.”

She put down the cylinder in her hand, turned around to walk to a machine, took out a USB from the top, returned to the communication terminal, then typed on the control panel with her graceful fingers.

Klein particles carried the information to the modern world.

Jiang Chen saw the signal light on the EP flashing, and he knew the data was transported to his EP. The researchers on this side didn't need to do anything other than using Lin Lin's research to design the production plan.

After he comforted Lin Lin, who wanted mango pudding, he ended communication and finally met Xia Shiyu's peculiar gaze.

”And she is?”

”She's Future Group's Research Department's scientist,” Jiang Chen said sternly.

The Research Department, the mysterious department, was always the subject of gossip within the Group. No one knew its whereabouts. All data was transferred from the artificial intelligence Yao Yao designed to acquire information requested by Jiang Chen. Even Xia Shiyu, as the Group's CEO, didn't know too much about the special department.

”Isn't she a bit young?” Xia Shiyu facepalmed.
