I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 673 Establishes a General Affairs Department to handle development matters.

Zhou Wei thought about how, during the years the principal was away, some official departments really caused a lot of trouble for the college. But now that the principal is back and here, those people will restrain themselves, right?

Su Mo remained silent for a moment.

Then he said, "Why don't we just set up a department within the college to do these things? We're not doing business with the outside world, so the only sales channel is the Chamber of Commerce."

Zhou Wei: "...!!"

Is it possible to avoid this? Resolving the issue within our own family doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Su Mo glanced at her.

"You can go and organize a meeting with the vice principal to discuss what to do next."

Su Mo definitely didn't have time to do it herself, and she didn't know how to do it either.

"Let's call it the General Affairs Department. This newly established department is definitely lacking in talent in various fields. After we've discussed how to do it, we should recruit as soon as possible, with priority given to college graduates."

Zhou Wei: "A good principal will give priority to admitting graduates who pass the assessment. This is what we have always done."

What made her sigh inwardly was that the principal's move this time was a bit too big. He said that he was only setting up a new department within the college, but anyone with eyes could see what was going on.

But aside from the others, there's one thing Zhou Wei isn't sure about.

"Principal, is it really okay to establish our own armed forces on planets other than Earth? Will the military have any objections?"

She was quite excited when Su Mo spoke, but upon closer reflection, she wondered if such an action could be allowed. She was sure some people would use it as an excuse to target the academy.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean they've become an armed force? They're all the academy's security personnel. My territory, which is far away on Earth, needs to be guarded and protected. I need to protect my property."

Zhou Wei, “…”, is a well-equipped and heavily armed security personnel?

She nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, private property must be protected."

After saying that, Zhou Wei scratched his head, wondering who the principal was trying to prevent by arranging so much security in that kind of place? Was it the staff who would be working there in the future?

Since the principal left last time, none of the newly recruited people at the college have signed contracts with him, and the principal himself hasn't mentioned doing this. It's likely that those recruited afterward won't do it either.

Even without the contractual obligations, those people have left Earth, meaning their lives are practically in the principal's hands. Would anyone dare to cause trouble? Is it really necessary to arrange so much security?

Zhou Wei felt that she definitely wouldn't dare to do it in her place.

Su Mo nodded, pleased with his assistant's approval.

Suddenly, another question occurred to him. Su Mo clenched his right fist and punched his left hand, saying uncertainly, "I wonder if any of the teachers who teach the armor courses at our academy have any knowledge of operating warships?"

Zhou Wei was taken aback, and then shook his head.

"I don't know. Our academy doesn't have any plans to offer courses related to warships. We'll have to ask them to find out."

Xia Kingdom now has a complete production line for warships, capable of mass-producing various components. However, the final step of assembling the complete ship still takes some time, so the output is not high.

Therefore, no matter what type of ship it is, there are no ships available for sale to foreign buyers. The priority is to meet the needs of the Space Force, followed by a company under a certain official department that supplies materials to Laurel City. Other options will have to wait.

Jiang Qizhang played a crucial role in Su Mo acquiring those six transport ships; she was also the only non-official person to purchase them.

Therefore, in reality, not many people in all the major cities of Xia Kingdom know that the government is already producing ships, and most colleges and universities have not taken any action to prepare to open related professional courses, including the Psionic Academy.

Therefore, it's understandable that Zhou Wei hadn't paid attention to this aspect.

Su Mo frowned. She had six transport ships, so she would need at least six captains. However, she didn't want to recruit captains from outside. Right now, the people in Xia Guo who understood this technology were either from aerospace companies or the space force. She didn't want to poach people.

It's better to have our own college train students.

The teachers in charge of teaching armor and mecha technology at the academy were all recruited from Yan Jin. They were initially sent to provide "after-sales service," but under Xu Li's arrangement, they joined the academy as teachers.

Of course, although those people have joined the academy, their ties with the Yan family have not been severed. They still need to receive technical training from the Yan family, otherwise their knowledge will quickly become outdated.

So, did they have any knowledge about ships?

“Even if the teachers here don’t know it, Yan Jin should have some,” Su Mo muttered, his gaze slightly lowered.

At this moment, Zhou Wei received a reply to the messages he sent to those teachers; they did not know.

She immediately relayed the situation to Su Mo.

Su Mo wasn't surprised. She asked, "Yan Jin is still holding onto her part-time job here, right?"

Zhou Wei nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Yan occasionally gives public lectures."

Although they only come once every six months or a year, they do come every year.

Yan Jin insisted on taking time out of his schedule to give open lectures at the academy in order to maintain his part-time teacher status; otherwise, why would he spend time doing this?

Although he received special treatment from Su Mo and could purchase a reasonable amount of almost all the goods in the academy, the prerequisite was that he was still working part-time at the academy; otherwise, there were some things that he couldn't buy even with points.

This is a relatively high level of authority; other teachers in the college have to go through a series of assessments and upgrades to increase their authority.

"Okay, I'll ask him later if he has any useful people on his hands. Hopefully, he can transfer a few over." Su Mo stroked his chin, preparing to poach some talent from the Yan family.

Zhou Wei nodded, indicating that the principal could handle it without them having to worry.

"Does the principal need to arrange for any staff to accompany him on this trip?"

Bring a few assistants; they can help the principal with trivial matters.

Su Mo paused for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "No need, I've already sold all the seats, so I can't bring any more people."

Zhou Wei "..."

Sold? Okay.

"Alright, that's all there is to it. Just follow my instructions and get the plan done. You also need to start preparing for recruitment, beginning with internal staff."

Zhou Wei nodded.

She felt a lot of pressure, but she could handle it. Well, if it got too much, she would ask Vice Principal Xu to help her.

"Yes, Principal, I will do it as soon as possible."

Su Mo nodded and watched her leave.

On the sofa on the other side of the office, the three little ones, who had been wandering around the college for two days, hadn't gone out to wander around. They were all squeezed on the sofa watching a projected video.

It's the popular short drama "In This Life, See How He Got from a Soldier Who Died Tragically on the Battlefield to a Hero Who Teared Up the Mother Nest!" It's well-made and even has a holographic experience version where you can choose to experience it from the perspective of the main characters.
