Chapter 605: Relaxation of Business Elites

"Cassius, have you sorted out your child's schooling?"

After Cassius called the fleet, as it would take some time to wait for the fleet to arrive, Cassius and others started chatting about family matters in the quarantine vehicle after reminding the commander of the ground task force in charge of security to be vigilant.

Although Atlas' corporate culture sounds very competitive, such as "there are plenty of people who can do it if you don't want to" and "Atlas doesn't keep idle people", in fact, with Lilith's assistance in task decomposition, the tasks assigned to each person are definitely within his ability.

This will avoid the situation where some people have no work to do and some people have too much work to do to the greatest extent.

As long as everyone does not slack off at work, they can complete their tasks within the specified time. Some more efficient employees can even give themselves more rest time.

So after gradually adapting to Atlas' internal work style, most people actually began to move in a more and more "relaxed" direction.
Just like now, several people in the quarantine center talked about trivial matters in life such as "children going to school" during this time.

"I completed the formalities a long time ago and enrolled last month~"

Cassius answered while operating quickly on the volumetric optical keyboard that popped up on his personal terminal. Like most of his colleagues in the Financial Business Center, he had accepted the "artificial sub-brain" transformation project. This transformation was similar to stuffing a high-performance processing terminal into his brain, allowing him to easily perform "multi-threaded tasks" at the same time.

"After I brought my wife and children here, the HR and Employee Care Department came to me to discuss their work and study. They were very efficient and completed all the formalities on the same day."

At this point, Cassius paused, as if recalling something, and continued after a moment:

"Come to think of it, I even reported the problem of efficiency in employee family welfare to my boss."

"Really? Is this true?" Several other business representatives suddenly showed a look of surprise, and then looked at Cassius who was sitting in the middle.

As the person in charge of this negotiation, Cassius has a higher employee rank and authority within Atlas than them, so he can also access some information that others don’t know.

"I also heard it from hearsay, and I don't know whether these things are true or not. I can only pick out some things that I can tell you. Probably, a lot of new employees came in one after another some time ago, and some of them brought their families with them, so there were a lot of applications for employee family benefits at that time.

Normally, the approval efficiency of the Employee Welfare Department is very high, and there is also an "Enterprise Management System" to assist, so many times these applications are approved within an hour.

As a result, the newly promoted director of the employee benefits department and several of his employees, for some unknown reason, had some crooked ideas in the approval process. If the employees applying for benefits did not pay some benefits, the process would be stuck for a long time. "

"How could such a thing happen in our company? What will be the consequence?" others asked curiously.

Cassius: "The result was - 'The work was done in the morning, and the people were taken away in the afternoon.' The boss was said to be very angry. He criticized the two directors of the Human Resources Center and the Internal Affairs Department, saying that he doubted their ability to 'rule' and deducted 50% of their performance bonus this year."

"Fuck, 50% of the annual performance is so harsh!"

"This is normal~" Cassius waved his hand, seemingly not surprised by the punishment, "You should know that the boss has always been 'zero tolerance' for issues involving internal employee benefits and salary benefits, and will deal with them severely and strictly."

The others nodded in agreement with Cassius' explanation. After all, everyone knew that the salary and benefits of internal employees played an important role in Atlas' current cohesion, so Amber's state of "keeping her original intention" would make them feel more at ease.

By the way, after this incident, Lilith was also severely "educated" by Amber in the virtual space, and immediately optimized and upgraded the "enterprise management system" and strengthened her clone's supervision of these approval processes. Although this will inevitably take up more computing power, in order to prevent similar problems from occurring again, Lilith had to do so.

She naturally could not imagine how much a "working cow" who traveled through time would hate such a thing as "bullying the subordinates and deceiving the superiors" in a company by taking advantage of power.
"Cassius, what major does your daughter plan to study in the future?" A business representative brought the topic back to the homely topic.

"Of course, she will go in the field of finance and management. Let's see if she has inherited her father's talent in this area~"

There was a hint of pride in Cassius' tone, but he wasn't sure if it was because of his daughter or his own talent.

"What if we find out later that she doesn't have the talent?" another person asked.

"Then send them to the Marine Corps or the Fleet to study battlefield first aid, communications, and navigation. I remember they all recruit female students~"

"Wow, you are really willing to do this. Are you really the biological father of the child?"

"Screw you!"

Cassius cursed with a smile and punched his colleague next to him lightly. Just when he was about to say something else, the personal terminal in his hand suddenly made a series of sounds - it was the ringtone of the fleet communication access.

Upon hearing the ringtone, the Atlas business representatives who were just joking and chatting about family matters completed their "attitude switch" almost in a second, sitting upright in their respective seats, each of them exuding the aura of a "business elite" and a "negotiation genius".

Cassius, who also regained his serious expression, also connected to the fleet communication.

Soon, a voice that sounded relatively young was heard.

"Captain Cassius, this is the Red Hand strike squadron of the Atlas combat fleet. I am the squadron commander, Ramos. According to the task chain arrangement, the strike squadron will now assist in the 'commercial negotiations' work."

While Ramos, the commander of the Red Hand strike team, was in contact with Cassius, the garrison fleet, which had only 42% of its warships available after the planet's "change of flag", also discovered something unusual.

In their observation screen, first, a group of flickering points of light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, like a group of stars about to descend. As time passed, these points of light became larger and brighter, gradually revealing their true colors - a strike team of the Atlas Group.

As the fleet approached, the size of the Red Hand strike team was quickly confirmed. Although it was still just a strike team in terms of organization, it had actually been replenished and strengthened after Ramos and Amber returned to A. Bava Ku. Now it was actually the size of half a standard fleet.

The remaining warships of the garrison fleet looked at the rapidly approaching fleet in almost horror, and their commanders had no intention of even thinking of engaging the enemy at this moment.

Are you kidding? All the people on our side are old, weak, sick and disabled. Not only have many damaged warships not been repaired in time, but they are also lacking a lot of key equipment blocked by the federal government, so their actual combat effectiveness is actually lower than their paper strength.

Therefore, the commander of this garrison fleet almost immediately took the remaining warships to leave the planet's synchronous orbit and stay far away, just watching as a part of the Atlas fleet was separated to approach the planet and lower its orbit.
