Dan Heng made a sarcastic remark without any expression.
Looking at Yanqing, who seemed somewhat worried, March 7th comforted her:
"Don't overthink it. Adults should be the ones to worry about their own affairs. Besides, what can you do for your general right now?"
"..."
Yanqing's mood worsened upon hearing this.
"Uh, did I say something wrong again?" Little March scratched her head.
"How could that be? When it comes to speaking skills, you're still the best, Ah Qi."
Qiong gave a thumbs up.
"Hehe~ Of course~"
On March 7th, I subconsciously put my hands on my hips and felt a little smug for a moment before realizing what was happening.
"Huh? Wait, are you insulting me? Fine, A-Qiong, take this!"
Little pink fists rained down on Qiong's chest.
Qiong immediately displayed exaggerated pain and screams.
"Ah! My heart... my heart has stopped beating. I need Ah Qi's kiss to make it start beating again!"
"Hmph~ Dream on! I'm not letting you kiss me~"
March 7th turned her head away coquettishly, but couldn't help but smile.
Jingyuan instructed Yanqing to handle the disputes between the Industrial Construction Department and the company. Due to the fact that Sanyueqi had spoken the truth, Yanqing was preoccupied.
Everyone decided to go and join in the fun; after all, they were just coming back to have fun, so it didn't matter where they went.
Moreover, Qiong is a P43-level honorary member of the company's strategic investment department, although she doesn't receive shares or dividends, only a basic salary...
Oh right, there seems to be a special performance bonus that's somewhat linked to the relationship between Black Tower and Ruan Mei.
It was a considerable sum of money.
Although they don't have decision-making power, they can easily fire a few low-level employees.
Before long, the group arrived at the Industrial Construction Company.
"Hehe, I get it now~ In your words, this is called taking advantage of someone's misfortune, right?"
As soon as they stepped through the door, a sarcastic and arrogant voice entered their ears.
The stars that were playing around the sky with March 7th stopped in their tracks.
"That sounds so familiar... that irritating tone..."
"I also feel like the name sounds familiar."
March 7th's arm was still draped over Qiong's shoulder, and its head peeked out.
"You all think this sounds familiar? I don't recognize it at all."
Qiong looked at the two of them with considerable surprise.
Upon arriving at the accident scene, they saw two people dressed in the uniforms of the Tianbo Company and the Gongzao Company arguing with a blond man wearing gold-rimmed sunglasses and a suit.
The blond man crossed his arms and held his chin high.
“I heard you clearly, and I’ll tell you bluntly—it’s hopeless!”
Scott has a shrill voice.
"If you keep withholding my goods, I'll file a lawsuit all the way to your general's office! Let's see how you handle this!"
Xing immediately picked at his ear, and said loudly with a disgusted expression:
"Oh dear, when did the Construction Company start keeping dogs? And they bark quite fiercely!"
"Damn it! Who are you calling a dog? What... it's you again, you jinx?!"
Scott immediately recognized the person in the description.
When he turned his head and saw the tall, slender, gray-haired beauty with a devilish figure, his expression was as ugly as if he had stepped in dog poop.
"So you're just going to stay on the immortal ship and refuse to leave, huh? What bad luck!"
"I'm the one who feels unlucky! Why does everything you do bring bad luck? Are you some kind of jinx?"
Xing grinned with disdain, then explained to her puzzled child:
"This guy's name is Scott, a junior staff member at the company. He was the one who caused trouble in Jinren Alley last time. Su Chang and I teamed up to deal with him, and he ended up barking like a dog and crawling away. It was hilarious."
At that time, Qiong was on his way to find Ruan Mei and rescue Ting Yun, and was not on the Immortal Boat.
"Ha, the past is the past, the present is the present. A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories!"
Scott seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and jumped up to retort.
Feeling confident that he was in the right this time, he arrogantly shouted:
"This time, Xianzhou acted unreasonably first, and no one can change that! Forcibly seizing our company's goods? What, does Xianzhou want to start a war with Interstellar Peace Company?!"
"What do you mean by robbery? I've told you so many times, this is a security check."
Holding the documents, Xi Kui emphasized.
"Then how did it end up with the Construction Bureau?"
Scott pointed to Kong Qing, a seemingly honest-looking technician next to him, and began to spit as he spoke.
"They even brought in a shifty-eyed craftsman. Isn't it obvious he wants to steal our Bo Shi Society's cutting-edge patented technology?"
"Don't even think about touching the goods! I'm going to complain about the handling procedures of the Tianbo Company! Complaint! Filing a complaint!"
Where do you want to file a complaint?
Qiong asked with a smile.
Scott's gaze fell on the handsome young man who had suddenly spoken, and his brows furrowed behind his sunglasses.
One glance at Ding Zhen.
Is it that shameless gray-haired relative, the older brother? Or the younger brother?
But why does it look so familiar?
And who are you?
"My name is Qiong, and I'm her brother."
Qiong put her arm around Xing's shoulder, only to be nipped in the face by the girl's elbow.
"Qiong?"
Scott's brow furrowed even deeper.
This name... sounds even more familiar now.
I've definitely heard it somewhere before.
Wait a minute, isn't that the Best Young Person Award winner who caused such a stir in the company a while ago?
Scott vaguely remembered watching the company's year-end conference, when the host announced the best young employee of the year, and everyone had a lively discussion.
"Gold placer is definitely going to be the strongest this year."
"Giving it to Director Toppa would be fine too."
"Giving it to Jimi is a bit too much."
"Holy crap, who is Qiong?!"
When the host announced this unfamiliar name that had never been mentioned at the conference before, millions of people in the venue were stunned, including Scott.
Scott's attitude instantly softened, and he asked with a barely perceptible caution:
"May I ask where you hold your post?"
Logically speaking, information related to geniuses is generally not something that can be discovered through internal company investigations.
Since it's been released, it means the company did it on purpose. The purpose is to tell everyone competing for the rewards and eligible employees that no one should mess with them over trivial matters!
As for major issues... if they involve the company's real interests, then they are not a concern for ordinary employees and junior managers.
Faced with Scott's sudden change in attitude, Qiong revealed an extremely bright smile.
"I am not very talented, and my only skill is serving rich women; I am a professional gigolo."
"I don't think this is anything to be proud of."
March 7th puffed out his cheeks and muttered.
"Pretty boy!?"
Scott's voice suddenly rose, not out of surprise, but with a knowing and awe-inspiring quality.
After the company's year-end meeting, everyone, whether they participated in the selection or not, frantically investigated who the unknown winner was!
Was a promotion mechanism used on managers?
There is speculation that this guy is the illegitimate son of one of the shareholders.
Some say he was the son-in-law of a wealthy family who owned shares.
Various speculations arose.
In the end, a well-informed person actually managed to get inside information.
That guy named Qiong seems to have actually used a promotion device, but the target wasn't a company manager, but a genius from the genius club!
This helped the company avoid a huge loss.
Scott was almost overwhelmed when he heard the news.
You know, he went to great lengths to climb to a high position in the company, but someone just clung to a pretty girl's legs and easily surpassed all his efforts.
He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
Damn it...
The geniuses in the genius club are so talented that even a P45 level executive in the company would find it incredibly difficult to meet them, let alone an employee of his level.
Why doesn't anyone want Scott?
He could be a gigolo too!
It's not an exaggeration to say that his looks are on par with this guy named Qiong, right?
Why isn't there a daughter of a shareholder family who would let him marry into their family?
In that case, he would be willing to drive a luxury starship and live on a top-tier ecological planet!
My heart felt as sour as if I had eaten a top-grade lemon.
However, Scott was flexible and completely suppressed his arrogant attitude, asking cautiously.
Do you have any other part-time jobs or side jobs?
"Yes, I have."
Qiong coughed lightly twice.
"The person standing before you now is Prince Arirobele, the only prince of the Grammer Empire, the brother-in-law of the God of Order in the Primordial Heaven, one of the shareholders of Pinoconi in the Land of Dreams, and a glorious P43-level employee of the company..."
Scott's expression changed with each job title that Qiong mentioned.
Those positions seemed to carry a weight, falling one after another on Scott's back, bending his waist.
Belloborg wasn't much before, but recently he's soared to prominence thanks to the Ether Front project and his own planet's special products. To negotiate a deal with the leader of such a civilization, you'd need at least a P44.
Needless to say, the world-renowned Grammer Empire was also a force to be reckoned with.
It is an A-level civilization that the company treats with utmost care.
The Primordial Heaven...
Speaking of this, Scott remembered the second source of the feeling that Qiong had given him—the Pope of the Seven Days of Rest!
More than 80% of the company's lower-level employees have secretly joined the Seven Days Off Religion, although Scott, who dreams of standing at the top of the galaxy through hard work, despises this religion that lacks any fighting spirit.
But he knew that followers of the Seven Days Religion were all over the world.
