Affairs concerning the Vought Group kept Fang Yuan busy until October 1963.
Even though Fang Yuan had headhunted many industry elites at high prices, he was still so busy that his waist was sore and his legs were weak.
Of course, it wasn't because of work, but because of what the White Queen, Mystique, and the others were doing.
Conversely, the same logic applied.
Just kidding, how could Fang Yuan do everything personally? As the chairman of the Vought Group, he only needed to ensure his employees were sensible.
Why else would he hire so many elites if not to be a hands-off boss?
With the White Queen Emma keeping an eye on things anyway, nothing major could go wrong with the group.
However, some matters still required his personal handling.
For example, the expansion of formal staff.
"This is the list of personnel submitted by the group. You need to decide whether to proceed with the expansion of formal staff," the White Queen said, handing over a file.
Fang Yuan took a cup of coffee and exchanged it for the file in Emma's hand.
It wasn't that he had suddenly learned to be considerate; this was a form of reward for the White Queen.
Because over the past three months, the White Queen had indeed been exhausted.
Fang Yuan didn't like managing the Vought Group's affairs; he only needed to be Vought's spiritual pillar. All the tedious work of the chairman fell onto Emma's shoulders.
Not to mention being busy with work during the day, Emma often had to serve as Fang Yuan's private Doctor at night, helping him with "physical examinations."
It was only because Emma was an elite among the Awakened, with physical fitness and energy far exceeding ordinary people, that she could persevere. Otherwise, she would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
But Emma herself enjoyed it. The White Queen was naturally an ambitious person. What Fang Yuan saw as tedious work, Emma saw as the pinnacle of Awakened power.
However, even the White Queen couldn't take care of everything.
One must know that Vought's top leader was responsible for more than just the internal work of the Vought Group, but also various matters concerning the Awakened.
After all, the Vought Group was now the officially designated management agency for the Awakened. As long as someone was a Vought employee, whether they committed a crime or needed help, they fell under Vought's jurisdiction.
Fortunately, Magneto Eric stepped forward.
The Brotherhood of Mutants he led was originally intended to help the Awakened. After he volunteered, Fang Yuan thought it over and agreed to let the Brotherhood of Mutants become a subsidiary of the Vought Group, specifically responsible for managing the Awakened.
The Brotherhood of Mutants had always held high prestige among the Awakened. Now that it was being legitimized, it would prevent the Awakened from being too resistant.
Moreover, letting Eric handle Awakened affairs would also protect the interests of the Awakened to the greatest extent.
Magneto had a hot temper. In this stage where the Vought Act had just been implemented, Eric's radical attitude could effectively establish the authority of the Vought Act.
With Charles watching from the side anyway, Eric wouldn't cause any major chaos.
Fang Yuan's thoughts returned as he picked up the list and began flipping through it.
There were many Awakened on the list, all of whom had passed Vought's assessment and were confirmed to fully identify with Vought's philosophy and be absolutely obedient.
But as he looked through them, Fang Yuan frowned slightly.
The people were indeed obedient, but their abilities were too low.
The strongest one on here might only be at a C+ level, not even reaching B-.
Rather than wasting media resources on these people, Fang Yuan would rather continue promoting the existing formal members.
Or go to Professor X's Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters to poach talent.
Because Fang Yuan had seen the student list and found two students named John Wraith and Christopher Nord.
Few people might recognize those names, but they might know them by their code names.
They were both characters who appeared in "Wolverine 1."
John Wraith was the Black man who could teleport, code-named Ghost.
Christopher Nord was Agent Zero, who hunted Wolverine.
They were still just little kids now, and their abilities weren't particularly outstanding, but this also showed that Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters could help Fang Yuan collect talent.
He was actually mentally prepared. After all, it was only the 1960s. Those familiar characters from "X-Men" were either still playing in the mud or hadn't been born yet. It was normal that there was no one he took a fancy to.
However, these people weren't completely useless. Fang Yuan didn't care for them, but there were many who were useful to Vought.
"Let's adjust Vought's employee structure," Fang Yuan said, keeping his head down as he continued looking at the list.
"Change the original Formal Employees to Elite Employees, or E for short."
"Formal Employees will be abbreviated as F."
"Off-staff Employees will be abbreviated as O."
"Divide levels based on contribution at each stage. These people..." Fang Yuan put the list Emma gave him back, "will all be promoted to Formal Employees!"
Although Fang Yuan himself only focused on Elite Employees, for Vought, the Formal Employees after the restructuring were the most important link supporting the company.
"Alright, I'll get on it immediately."
Emma nodded. This could significantly increase the enthusiasm of the Awakened, so she had no objection.
Then she took out another file, which only had two pages this time.
"Since you don't care for any of those people, then these two I had you look for before should satisfy you," she said, pursing her lips.
"Oh?"
Fang Yuan sat up straight, took the two files, and was immediately delighted.
[Personal Information: James Logan]
[Personal Information: Viktor Creed]
Wolverine!
Sabretooth!
"They've finally appeared," Fang Yuan murmured to himself.
Wolverine was the first Mutant many X-Men fans got to know, and he was also the most deeply ingrained protagonist in the "X-Men" movies.
Professor X? Magneto?
Although they could crush Logan in combat, in terms of status in the hearts of fans, those two were still a bit behind Wolverine.
So even when the "X-Men" movies were rebooted later, they still had to have Wolverine make a cameo, even if it was just to drop a curse word.
A bit of trivia: X-Men movies without Wolverine are a pile of sh*t.
That's right, I'm talking about you, "X-Men: Dark Phoenix"!
"Deadpool" doesn't count; that thing doesn't belong to the X-Men series.
Wolverine's original name was James Howlett, but he's used to calling himself Logan now.
"They haven't come to New York?" Fang Yuan asked. Although it was a question, his tone was certain.
He knew that if the two had come, Emma would have brought them directly.
Sure enough, Emma shook her head.
"They've both been serving as ordinary soldiers in South Vietnam for the past two years. They don't know much about Vought, so they aren't willing to go with our people."
The White Queen stretched, her fair, tender waist exposed before Fang Yuan's eyes.
"So I'm here to ask for your opinion. If you're sure you want to recruit them, I'll have Red Devil take me there and use Telepathy to bring them back directly."
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "No, I'll go personally."
Then he curled his lips: "But before going, I'll help you loosen up your muscles first."
After speaking, Fang Yuan flipped over and got on top. A moment later, only sounds like soft moans were left in the room...
