It's someone from the company. Cheng An's heart sank. It was hard for her to trust their words when they asked her to come over at this time.

For what?

To silence her? To wipe out the remaining Evikins? Or is there another purpose?

She didn't know. As I said before, she was really not good at these twists and turns.

"Which department are you from?" she asked.

The man in the black suit had the same expression, "I work for the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation."

Strategic Investment Department? Not the Marketing Department?

Although the Strategic Investment Department does have more people than the Market Development Department, it is hard to say at this time whether the two sides are in the same group.

"Why do you want me to go with you? What will happen if I refuse?" Compared with these speculations about power struggles, Cheng An was actually more worried about Kakawashia's safety.

After all, since the massacre, when they saw Kakawashia again, he was already a young man. No one knew when he was caught by a slave owner after he left. If he was caught at this age, she couldn't imagine how much suffering the child must have suffered.

She didn't even know when the slave code was branded on the child.

But the man in the black suit didn't care about her thoughts. He just answered her questions within the permitted scope: "Our director said that she wants to make a deal with you. As for what the deal is, she hopes you can discuss it in detail."

"During this period, you don't have to worry about the Evikin people here. There are people from the Strategic Investment Department guarding here, and the people from the Market Development Department will also be restrained in what they want to do."

"And if you refuse, we will have no choice but to withdraw our people, and then you will have to face the rest alone."

Even if his brain wasn't working well, Cheng An could tell that this was a threat.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

At this point, she had no choice but to refuse. The market development department had evil intentions, and their cooperation with Evikin was not necessarily sincere. It was hard to say that they were not the ones who pushed the two tribes in the desert to this point.

Perhaps the purpose is to eliminate two thorns in the eye at once.

After all, if that weren't the case, their attitude wouldn't be so ambiguous, nor would they offer anything but help.

At this point, whether she goes or not, both sides of her hand are rubbish. Perhaps she can only gamble that the Strategic Investment Department can act like a human being this time.

Cheng An let go of the hand that was supporting Valisa, patted her shoulder and said, "You should have a good rest. I will be back soon. I will definitely find Kakavasa by then."

After saying that, she looked at the satisfied face of the man in the black suit and signaled him to lead the way.

Cheng An followed him into the car that drove to the desert. The warm air in the car dried her rain-soaked hair, making her miserable appearance of being a drowned chicken look a little better.

When they finally reached their destination, she followed the man up the stairs, twisting and turning, and finally came to a door that looked very high-end.

The man in the black suit knocked on the door and said, "Director, Miss Cheng An is here."

A female voice came from inside the room, elegant and steady, and sounded a little familiar.

Cheng An followed him in. In the middle of the spacious office there was a desk piled with documents, and behind the desk sat a very beautiful woman.

That person had sharp eyes, light makeup, and a sophisticated outfit with emerald green accessories, as well as long, smooth pink-purple hair.

It is emerald.

What an unexpected yet unsurprising appearance.

What did the man in the black suit say to her? "A deal"? What was so valuable about her that she deserved Ms. Ciyu's attention that she would bother to send someone to negotiate a deal with her in person?

"Hello, ma'am, what can I do for you?" She always had a certain degree of good impression of her own characters. Even if she knew that they were not necessarily good people, she would not necessarily have much trust in them, but in short, she was not that afraid.

At least he was much better than Shu Hu, right? She had already seen such a weird thing, so if she looked at other things, wouldn't it just be a drop of water?

"Hello, this is Miss Cheng An." The mature woman was elegant and pleasing to the eye. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Feicui, a moneylender. I can fulfill any of your wishes, but you need to pay an equal price."

She understood the phrase "Jade Pawn", but wasn't it Jade who called her here? How did it become a question of what she wanted?

"Ma'am, I thought you called me here because you had something to discuss with me." Cheng An said honestly.

Emerald chuckled, "Indeed. Please forgive my habits as a moneylender."

"I have found great potential in you that is worth investing in. For this reason, I can satisfy your wishes in the hope of gaining some help and favor from you. Of course, your wishes determine the extent of my needs."

It sounds insignificant, just a favor and a help, but to put it bluntly, it is simply exchanging her wish for a wish of the same value from Jadeite.

As long as she agreed and made the conditions to Feicui, she could not refuse if Feicui had similar needs in the future.

After all, if "Ci Yu Pawn" can take away other people's memories and emotions, it must be able to take away something else from her to pay off the debt. If she doesn't want to guess and worry about what she will lose randomly like opening a blind box, she'd better keep her word here.

However, Cheng An believes that as a businessman, Jade's integrity is still guaranteed. It's just that trading with her itself requires taking some risks. But in this situation, he is almost at the end of his rope, so this opportunity may be worth a try.

"Okay, I promise you," she said. "My condition is to give the surviving Evikin a chance to live. Also, find Kakawashia as soon as possible."

Although the risk was high, it was the quickest and most effective way at the moment. She decided to take a gamble, betting that Feicui would show mercy in this matter.

"Deal. I'll contact Miss Cheng An when I need you." The pink-purple-haired lady shook her phone and added Cheng An's contact information. "I hope we have a pleasant transaction."

Cheng An held her outstretched hand to show her consent.

"Then to show my sincerity, I think Miss Cheng might be interested in knowing the original plan of the market development department for Evikin." The mature and steady woman told her the story behind it.

It was similar to what Cheng An had guessed. The Evikins, who were good at making friends and were smart and cunning, and the Kartika, who were born rebellious, were both obstacles to the company's takeover of the planet, or potential destabilizing factors.

So the young head of marketing decided that he wanted to keep neither of them in order to rule.

The specific operation is to simply stand on the side of the weaker Evikin, causing dissatisfaction and hatred in Kartika, leading to Kartika's angry massacre, and then detonate it when the conflict between the two sides cannot be reconciled. The node of this explosion is Kakawarji.

According to the original plan, Evikin would be exterminated by Kartika, and the company would exterminate Kartika under the guise of protection. In this way, the hidden dangers of rule would be eliminated and a good reputation would be earned.

But now, the appearance of Cheng An made Kartika the loser, and Evikin was not exterminated.

Perhaps Feicui saw some value in her that could be exploited, such as seeing that she single-handedly hindered the plans of the market development department?

Anyway, things have come to this point.

Cheng An pondered the sinister plot that she had already guessed, and asked, "Why are you telling me this? Aren't you also a member of the company? Don't you want to help the company consolidate its rule?"

Jade seemed to be quite patient with her investment target. She said, "Because as long as our department rescues the remaining Evikins first, they won't have much obsession with resisting the company's rule. What's more, we have reached a deal with their 'Emissary'."

"I protected a few people, prevented a genocide, and earned a favor from Miss Cheng An. Please trust my vision as a businessman. I always believe that some people will only benefit more if they stay alive."

It turned out to be the case.

After hearing Feicui's words, Cheng An's heart was full of sighs. "Ms. Ci Yu" is indeed a real businessman. She will never let herself or the company suffer losses.

But as long as her goal can be achieved and the outcome she strives for is better, it doesn’t matter who earns more or less.

I hope they can really cooperate happily this time.
