vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

The P40 level is just an excuse, more importantly, this guy has a dirty background.

"Shuju, watch your words. Even the Stoneheart Ten don't have the right to speak ill of their colleagues."

After being poured a bucket of cold water by the man named Shuju, Jeramy had not yet responded, and Topa stood up to defend his colleague.

"Or are you still fuming about Jeremy stealing your sales? Well, you can only blame yourself for being slow. If you want to hide in the private dining room and whine about it, go ahead, but don't use such offensive words like spitting out bugs in this kind of setting."

Being rebuked so bluntly, Shu Ju subconsciously frowned, but for a moment he couldn't find any words to refute.

Even he had to admit that Jeramy's performance in the last bad debt recovery cycle was indeed much better than his. Even though Topal had squandered a large amount of funds on Yalilo No. 6, the performance of the Emerald group was still much better than theirs.

The Strategic Investment Department has always been about performance. No matter how much you brag, it cannot compare to a simple question.

What was your performance last cycle?

"...Hmph, just keep defending him until the day he's betrayed by the bugs hiding in the shadows."

"What a disgusting guy..."

Looking at Shuju sitting down, Topa tapped his toes in dissatisfaction.

The ten people of Stoneheart are of the same blood... In theory, this is true, but where there are people, there are frictions. Not everyone has a close relationship with Jeramy like Toppa and Gold Dust.

Otherwise, it would be better not to use the official seal to help that guy settle the bill.

"Okay, this is a grudge between him and me, you don't have to worry about it."

Looking at the angry Topa, Jeramy patted her shoulder and signaled her not to be angry.

Compared with the friction with the Market Development Department, the minor quarrels within the Strategic Investment Department are really nothing. At best, it is just like you accuse me of something bad and I add laxatives to your water.

"You're so generous, Jeremy. In that case, could you please let me use your blood to make wine? Why don't you come to my room tonight..."

The arrogant and presumptuous voice rudely interrupted the conversation between Jeremy and Topa. The red-haired girl looked at the young man in white clothes who was surrounded by Topa and Gold Sand on the left and right, biting the tempting red berries at the corner of her lips, and some fiery emotions ignited in her eyes.

A possessiveness that is definitely not kind.

"Forget it, Miss Long Jing. Your invitation is truly unacceptable to me."

Looking at the aggressive red-haired girl, Jeremy waved his hand in surrender, seeming to keep his distance from her.

He had no choice but to be careful. When they first met, he thought this was an enthusiastic senior, but he was almost drained of blood by the other party. He had to use illusion to successfully escape.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the decision-making process is about to begin. Please take your seats. Jeremy, please stand in the center of the conference room."

A soft and rational voice interrupted the unusual greetings of the crowd. An omnic girl had stood behind Jeramy and the others, silently urging them.

"Long time no see, Miss Zhenzhu. If you were to host this, the result would surely be convincing."

Looking at the one of the few good guys in the Strategic Investment Department, Jeremy nodded and took the initiative to stand in the middle of the conference room, representing the scales of judgment.

Looking at the people who had already taken their seats in the conference room, the intelligent robot named Zhenzhu nodded, and a clear and soft sound was produced among the vibrations of the metal.

"During the last bad debt recovery cycle, three stellar civilizations were willing to return to the company's credit point system and be reintegrated into the company's equity structure. As a dedicated and dedicated person working behind the scenes, Jeramy's contribution is unquestionable."

"For this reason, Diamond has called you all together, and I will preside over this resolution—whether to grant Jerami the cornerstone, making him the eleventh among us."

In the dim conference room, a pleasant female voice suddenly rang out, and beams of light bloomed one after another, illuminating several figures surrounding the round table.

In the center of the conference room, an empty scale was placed there, and under the scale, Jeremy stood with a smile on his face, adding some joy to the serious and gloomy atmosphere.

"Working behind the scenes? You just did some shady tricks. You think you can be ranked among the top ten stone hearts with this? That foundation is too cheap."

The figure in the purple suit slowly cut the steak in front of him and threw the purple cornerstone in his hand into the end representing veto.

One: Zero.

The red color, representing rejection, becomes stronger and stronger, pushing the scales toward one side.

"Shuju, please don't ignore the facts and turn a blind eye to the contributions Jeremy has made."

The dimensional piggy bank that condensed night and day held the topaz in its mouth and put it into the end that represented approval.

A blue light came on, and the scales regained their balance.

all.

Topa looked at Shuju not far away and frowned in dissatisfaction.

Even among the ten people of Shixin, there is always friction within the group.

"By subduing these three Hengxin-class civilizations, the Strategic Investment Department's voice within the company has become even stronger. The ten people in Shixin have always prioritized results, and today is no different."

The winding snake held the sparkling emerald stone in its mouth and threw it to the party that agreed.

The blue light grew stronger, tipping the scales in favor of Jeremy.

One: two.

"But if the shady insect-like activities are treated as honorable and brought to light, the company's reputation will be damaged beyond the means of three stellar civilizations... Cang Gang, I veto. Since I'm not present, I'll cast the vote on your behalf."

The blue cornerstone was thrown into the scale by the host, and the scale regained balance again.

Two: two.

"And Agate, that person must be dead. I have to convey his opinions."

The reddish-brown agate stone was held in the hand of a bat and finally slowly fell into the hands of a woman with blood-red hair.

"But in my opinion, Jeremy's behavior is too indecisive. If it were me, I would definitely make the scene more... moving."

The woman threw the reddish-brown agate and the deep obsidian into the negative side, and in just a moment, the scales tilted again.

Four: two.

"Long Jing, you're not still upset about Jeramy rejecting your request last time, are you? From what I know about him, if you push too hard, you won't be able to catch him."

The gold dust that had been watching chuckled and threw his own gold dust stone into the mix, straightening the originally tilted scales slightly.

On such occasions, he would of course support his brother unconditionally.

Four: three.

"Amber will remain neutral and abstain from voting. As for me... as an omnic, I believe that hard work pays off, and equal exchange is the starting point of all behavioral logic."

Zhenzhu, who was presiding over the meeting, placed the muddy amber stone in front of the scales, and it was suspended in front of Jeremy.

Then she put her own pearl stone into the affirmative end.

Four: Four.

The situation fell into a stalemate again, and the rebalanced scale was like a taut bowstring, pulling at the nerves of everyone present.

Everyone turned their eyes to the last figure who had not yet spoken. This would determine whether Jeramy could break the Stoneheart Ten's structure since its establishment and become the eleventh.

"Four against four... a natural result. After all, we, the ten of us in Stoneheart, have always been so 'united'."

"Jerami's abilities and achievements are truly convincing, but given his past track record, why don't we extend this evaluation process a little longer?"

A cornerstone shaped like a pacifier was thrown into the affirmative side, and the originally stable balance tilted instantly.

"Pinoconi, one of the company's worst accounts, and the treasure hidden deep beneath the dream, will be handed over to Jeremy to solve. This is also Diamond's instruction."

The overall situation has been decided. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they cannot continue to veto the idea of ​​allowing Jeramy to join the Stone Heart Ten under such circumstances.

Volume 6: The Power of the Official Seal

"Pinocone... I heard they're holding a Harmony Festival soon. If Jeremy can really take Pinocone back at this critical juncture, he'll be qualified to be one of us, even... surpassing most of the people here."

Long Jing shook the goblet in her hand, and the blood-colored liquid slowly stirred into a vortex in her palm, containing a desire that seemed to be able to devour everything.

"Let me correct you. This operation was not carried out by Jeramy alone. Instead, it was carried out by my team with Jeramy as the main force."

Jade spoke at the right time. The purple snake had wrapped around her wrist without her knowing. The sight hidden under the brim of the hat must be more deterrent than the poisonous snake in her hand.

No matter how much she believed in Jeramy's abilities, it was an almost impossible task to conquer Pinocchio on her own.

Especially during the Harmony Festival, maybe even fellow Harmony Shippe might cast his own glance at the star of the event.

After all, among all the known star gods, Tongxie can definitely be regarded as the most powerful one.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this time the recovery plan will be much more difficult than before, and because there are many guests at the Harmony Ceremony, many of them are business leaders from all over the world.

If the friction between the company and Pinocchio is too obvious, it may have a negative impact on the company's reputation and future development.

Jade certainly wouldn't let Jeramy take on this extremely difficult and restrictive task alone.

"Pinocone... Humph, I have no objection."

Even Shu Ju, who had always doubted Jeremy, rarely objected after hearing this condition, even though Feicui publicly stated that her team would spare no effort to help Jeremy during this period.

He was responsible for the company's last plan to recapture Pinocchio, and needless to say, the result was a failure.

On one side is the colleague with whom he has recently been fighting openly or secretly, and on the other side is the rival who once made him lose face. If Shu Ju really has to choose one of them to suffer, the latter will naturally have a much higher priority than the former.

Of course, it would be best if both of them could be unlucky at the same time.

"In that case, the resolution is passed. The plan to recapture Pinocchio will be entrusted to Jade, Toppa, Gold Dust, and Jeramy. Jeramy needs to retrieve the lost treasures from Pinocchio."

After confirming that everyone had no objections, Zhenzhu, as the host, announced that the conditions were met and the plan to recapture Pinocchio was thus decided.

"Then I would like to know in advance what exactly the treasure of Pinocchio is."

This was the first time that Jeremy, who had been standing in the middle of the conference room and silently watching the Stone Heart Ten vote, spoke. He did not have many objections to the trial of the Stone Heart Ten.

After all, they had already heard the news, and even if there was no meeting, the plan to recapture Pinocchio would most likely fall on their group.

Jeremy had no reason to stand idly by.

Compared to Shuju's doubts and Longjing's difficulties, Jeramy cared more about the treasures they talked about.

What on earth could be such a treasure that the ten Stone Hearts called it and that the Interstellar Peace Company still harbored a grudge against Pinoconni to this day, dreaming of bringing it back into its sphere of influence?

"You can find out more about Jadeite slowly. I'm not interested in being your encyclopedia."

Long Jing yawned, and her almost perfect body stretched out under the light. Her attempt to make things difficult failed, making her look a little uninterested.

"Well, since Miss Longjing isn't interested, I'll take this thing back and share it with Ms. Feicui slowly."

What could possibly be so rare for the ten Stonehearts...

Long Jing wanted to refute, but the magnificent and ancient light pierced into her eyes like a sword tearing through the darkness, forcing her to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Is this... the official seal of the Marketing Department?"

This was the first time Shuju showed any emotion other than doubt towards Jeremy. Not only him, but everyone present subconsciously breathed faster when they saw the official seal in Jeremy's hand. Even Miss Zhenzhu, who was an intelligent robot, became quite excited.

The small seal is engraved with ancient patterns, and the muddy yellow seal exudes a sense of majesty.

The Ten Stone Hearts were no strangers to this thing. It was a seal forged from a part of the Amber King's sacred body and was the symbol of the lifeblood of the Interstellar Peace Company.

"Where did you get it?"

"Jerami found this on the side of the road... You're all colleagues from the Strategic Investment Department. I trust you all, and I hope... you won't sell us out."

Feicui looked at the ten people from Shixin with different expressions, and a hint of cunning appeared in his eyes hidden under the brim of his hat.

As a lender with a global reputation, Diandai Feicui would not give up any lending plan, which was why she did not take back the official seal from Jeramy before attending the meeting.

This time, what she took out was not money, but the desires of everyone present.

What he wanted to gain was not a simple reward, but to make all ten Stonehearts owe Jeramy a favor.

In the distant future, these favors will turn into help that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

As a lender, the thing you have the most is patience. Only by waiting for time to ferment, the profits generated from the principal will accumulate like a snowball rolling down the mountain.

Their eyes met obscurely, and the other ten people with Shixin present exchanged glances, and they all saw each other's hesitation.

Is it to continue to make things difficult for Jeremy because of something that has almost become an accompli, or to take this opportunity to make the annoying marketing department bleed?

There was no need to think at all. Long Jing stood up first, and his eyes, which were already full of malice and possession, became even more presumptuous when he cast them at the official seal.

Her relationship with Jeremy was indeed not good. In a sense, it was even worse than Shu Ju's, who had always questioned and been hostile to Jeremy. Her reckless style of doing things always made things go too far.

But precisely because of this character, Long Jing will not be obsessed with so-called face.

If you want something, go get it yourself. If you can’t get it, find a way to exchange it.

"Jerami, I owe you a favor. Lend me your official seal for two days. I'll show you how to carry forward the fine tradition of returning lost property after finding the official seal of the neighboring department."

Long Jing was the first of the Stoneheart Ten to have a noticeable change in attitude, but he was definitely not the last.

Looking at the crowd that suddenly became much more enthusiastic, Jeremy couldn't help but sigh in his heart, she really deserves to be called Ms. Emerald.
