After seeing Olivia's Pokémon, Mu Qingzhu checked the time, realized it was still early, and took Olivia to Manjushage to familiarize her with her future office.
On the way to Manjushage, Mu Qingzhu received a message from Yan Ming:
"Xiao Mu, the research institute has agreed. Let me know when you can report for duty."
Mu Qingzhu thought for a moment and replied:
"It's still early. Why don't you come to Manjushage, Uncle Yan?"
"We can also discuss the next project."
Upon receiving Mu Qingzhu's reply, Yan Ming responded:
"I'll be right over."
Subsequently, Yan Ming also left the research institute and headed to Manjushage.
...
A little while later, Mu Qingzhu and Olivia arrived first. Mu Qingzhu began to introduce the building: the first floor currently sells energy cubes in limited quantities, but after a while, energy cube sales will be moved to the second floor; the first floor will then serve as the front desk.
The third floor will be used to sell ite (such as Fire Stone); the fourth floor will sell Poké Balls; the fifth floor will sell items (such as Mystic Water); the sixth floor will conduct Fossil Revival Technology; the seventh to ninth floors are planned to be converted into auction halls, and the tenth to fifteenth floors will be for employee offices and dining.
As Mu Qingzhu walked and explained, the two unconsciously arrived at the top floor, the 15th floor. The 15th floor has three rooms: Mu Qingzhu's office, Olivia's secretary's office, and a reception room.
In her office, Mu Qingzhu said to Olivia:
"You'll need to implement everything I just mentioned later."
"Understood, Boss," Olivia replied.
As the two continued their conversation, Yan Ming called to say he had arrived downstairs. Mu Qingzhu then told him to come up to the top floor.
Not long after, Yan Ming arrived at the top floor and entered Mu Qingzhu's office. Mu Qingzhu then introduced him:
"This is Olivia, my secretary. She will be responsible for all matters concerning Manjushage from now on."
Yan Ming thought that Mu Qingzhu still had to continue her studies and probably wouldn't have time to manage most of the affairs here, so having a secretary was perfectly fine. He then replied:
"Okay, so what do we need to do next?"
Mu Qingzhu was not surprised by Yan Ming's question and said:
"Uncle Yan, next, you need to divide the Researchers into two groups. One group will be responsible for making Poké Balls, and the other will be responsible for Fossil Revival."
"The Fossil Revival machine has already been placed on the 5th floor. During this time, you should familiarize yourselves with the machine. After a while, I will give you the two fossils I have for revival."
"There's no rush with Poké Ball production. I will also collect berries for Poké Ball production later."
"For now, that's about it. If you have any good ideas in the future, remember to speak up."
Hearing Mu Qingzhu say this, Yan Ming was quite motivated and immediately said:
"Xiao Mu, no, it should be President Mu. If there's nothing else here, I'll go back and inform them."
"Okay, Uncle Mu," Mu Qingzhu replied.
Then Yan Ming left first. After Yan Ming left, Mu Qingzhu said to Olivia:
"Later, if there's nothing else, remember to collect Mega Stones, key stones, z-crystals, wishing stars, and Tera Orbs."
"After tomorrow's work is done, remember to recruit some breeders who can make energy cubes, and also some waitstaff."
"Understood," Olivia replied while taking notes.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu and Olivia went to a nearby berry shop and purchased all the berries they needed, including 20 Red Apricorns, 20 Yellow Apricorns, 20 Blue Apricorns, 20 Green Apricorns, 20 Pink Apricorns, 20 White Apricorns, and 20 Black Apricorns.
After the purchased berries were packed, the two returned home. Then, Mu Qingzhu began to make energy cubes.
Before long, Mu Qingzhu had produced 500 beginner energy cubes, 500 intermediate energy cubes, 500 advanced energy cubes, and 50 perfect-grade energy blocks.
...
The next day, just like the previous two days, all the energy cubes were sold out in a short amount of time.
Afterward, Mu Qingzhu announced that starting tomorrow, energy cubes would no longer sell out, and future energy cube sales would be on the 2nd floor. Furthermore, Fossil Revival Technology would be available; if you have a fossil, you can go to the 5th floor, and they can revive it for you for only 50,000.
Hearing Mu Qingzhu say this, everyone began to prepare to search for fossils, as fossil Pokémon are relatively rare.
After all the customers had left, Mu Qingzhu called Yan Ming to bring the Researchers and then arranged their work.
Not long after, Yan Ming arrived with 30 Researchers in the meeting room on the 12th floor.
In the meeting room, Mu Qingzhu said,
"First, I welcome you to my company. I will not treat you unfairly. You will receive a 10% discount on purchases made here. The higher your position, the more benefits you will enjoy."
"Secondly, Director Yan has already told you that you will be divided into two groups: one for making Poké Balls and the other for Fossil Revival. Each group currently has 15 people. You can decide how to divide yourselves, and then choose one among yourselves to be the team leader. I will discuss some arrangements with Director Yan later—no, it should be Supervisor Yan. The two team leaders will be managed by Supervisor Yan Ming."
Not long after, the 30 Researchers were divided, and two team leaders were chosen: a rather shy girl named Han Weiyue, and a boy named Huang Yao. Although one was quite shy, both were intermediate Researchers, one level below Yan Ming, which also proved their strong abilities.
Seeing the divided groups, Mu Qingzhu said:
"Since you have all been divided, the two team leaders, please choose whether you will be responsible for Poké Balls or Fossil Revival."
Huang Yao and Han Weiyue looked at each other, and Huang Yao spoke first:
"Ladies first, you choose."
Han Weiyue hesitated and asked:
"If we choose Fossil Revival, we shouldn't need to search for fossils, right?"
Mu Qingzhu roughly looked at Han Weiyue's group, noticing it was mostly girls, and pondered for a moment. Han Weiyue, seeing Mu Qingzhu remain silent, assumed they would need to search for fossils and immediately said:
"Then let's make Poké Balls for now."
Hearing Han Weiyue's words, Mu Qingzhu immediately reacted and said:
"I apologize, I was thinking about something else just now. The Fossil Revival project does not require you to search for fossils. You are only needed when someone comes for Fossil Revival. Normally, it should be quite relaxed, as the number of fossils is limited."
"I see that your group is mostly girls, so I've decided to let you research Milotic's evolutionary path. Do you choose to make Poké Balls or research Milotic's evolutionary path?"
Han Weiyue hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Then I will research Milotic's evolutionary path."
After Han Weiyue made her choice, Huang Yao said:
"Since you've already chosen, I'll choose Fossil Revival."
