The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"It's been a while, my friend. You've been busy during my absence."

"First, he freed Pinocchio a little, then he resolved the crisis on the Hibiscus—though it was a false alarm—and now he's become the lobby manager? Money's so tight that he needs to work two jobs at once?"

"Gold Dust is still as outgoing as ever."

"Oh... maybe you've been traveling for too long and want to experience office life? Why didn't you tell me earlier? The Strategic Investment Department is expanding recently. I can just assign you a project manager, right?"

"With your qualifications, you'll start at P25... no, at least P30, and be stationed directly at Pierpoint headquarters. Accommodation, meals, and all travel expenses will be covered by the government. How do you say that?"

"Topa said she could give Xing a backdoor."

"No, although I love money like my life, I can't let Jizi and the others down. They are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters!" Xing said with deep affection, hinting that Topa should pay more."

"Unexpectedly, Topa gave up immediately: "I've heard that the train crew has a strong bond. It's really something special."

"Xing is so regretful."

"Oh, no, you really want to go?"

Xu Xiake couldn't help but complain.

It would be so nice to be on the Starry Sky Train. What’s the point of going to the company when you can’t travel around!

But if you think about it carefully, it is more likely that Xing is being abstract.

If she really were to go, Xing would probably just go to the company to get her salary and then follow the train crew. She'd be a freeloader...

"Well, based on my understanding of stars, that should be the case."

…………

"Xing turned to Shajin and asked, "Are you okay now?"

"Thank you for your concern." Shajin's smile became more sincere.

"I'm still standing here talking to you, all thanks to that red-haired, pure-looking knight who saved me."

"I've never met a true 'Knight' before. If I only heard rumors from outside, I would even think they were a group of weirdos who were keen on sensationalism."

"As expected, seeing is believing, isn't it?"

"His words were filled with admiration, admiration that there are actually people in this world who do good deeds purely for the sake of neither fame nor profit."

"I also lament...why didn't our tribe meet a pure and beautiful knight back then?"

"But, speaking of which, if you don't like being a project manager at Director Topa, how about my job here?"

"Compared to Director Topa, who has many capable people under him, I'm really in need of a capable and courageous project manager."

“You know, promotions happen quickly in situations like this.”

“Follow me and start directly at P35—all the resources I have at your disposal are at your disposal, how about that?”

"Gold Sand also made his own invitation, and even understood Xing's hint of adding money just now."

"Hehe, I see... Director Shajin is determined to snatch this person right in front of me?"

“Why do you have so few people under you? I don’t need to explain why, do I? Instead of questioning others’ management abilities, why not take the time to reflect on your own work habits?”

"Even though Toppa gave up a while ago, she's determined to fight Gold Sand to the end!"

"Are these two really that close? I thought they had a very good relationship. After all, Topa was even willing to lend her foundation to Shajin."

Ying Zheng drank black plum drink, ate melons and watched the show, and was even adding fuel to the fire in his heart.

Fight, fight!

(As for the origin of Wumei Drink, one theory is that Xu Fu invented it and presented it to the First Emperor. Another theory is that Zhu Yuanzhang, when he was a beggar, saw a rotten black plum and was reluctant to throw it away. He took a bite and found it delicious, so he created Wumei Drink. We adopt the former theory here.)

"Rather than saying they have a bad relationship, it's more like... uh... like brother and sister, or maybe brother and sister?"

Fusu felt that this really looked like a quarrel between brothers and sisters!

Especially since Topa is so attached to Jadeite...it's almost like he treats Jadeite as his mother, right?

I see, a family of three with a pig.

Mother - Jade.

Sister - Topa.

Younger brother - gold sand.

Pig - Account.

"Hehehe...work habits? Are they that important? Don't forget, one of the core values ​​of the Strategic Investment Department is 'results first'—if they can't even handle a small hockey puck, I'm afraid the 'work habits' that Director Topa values ​​are more than just excuses for project failure, right?"

"Gold Dust taunted."

"As the argument intensified, Xing tried to find a moment to interject her own perspective and resolve the crisis—but unsurprisingly, she failed miserably."

"Ultimately, she could only helplessly witness the war unfolding before her eyes."

"Trying to use your usual tactics to provoke me, huh? If I remember correctly, even if I put all the orders for this Pinocchio on you, your success rate would still be a few percentage points lower than mine, right?"

"Topa just showed the data and spoke directly."

"Oh my! You only care about quantity, not quality. I didn't expect that even our kind-hearted Director Topa has learned to change the concept. Honestly, you know the difficulty of the projects I take on better than anyone else, right?"

Gold Sand taunted.

"Then I have to give you a big compliment. Remember that Epsilon stock market report you sent me? 'The Epsilon Index is expected to rebound strongly after bottoming out, and investors are advised to seize the opportunity and increase their holdings immediately.'"

"What happened? The next day, as soon as the market opened, the stock market plummeted below 2800 million points... 2800 million points! That's an all-time low! An all-time low!"

"Topa's brows were furrowed dangerously, with a murderous look on her face. It was obvious that she had been badly tricked."

"Are you bringing up old issues? I was just being kind and wanted everyone to make money together... How can you blame me for this extremely rare accident?"

"Besides, didn't we already review that matter? The informant who gave me the information was your old friend at the Epsilon Interstellar Stock Exchange. Who would have thought that someone who had been working in the stock market for half his life would be such a loser?"

"Shajin spread his hands, looking very innocent."

"Hmph, why not mention your unwavering 'luck' now? The standards are quite flexible, Director Gold Dust~"

"Topa is being sarcastic."

"What can we do about the gold dust? The Earth Mother said the stock market is too complicated and beyond her control."

"Xing, who was standing by, was so happy to hear this. There were so many big news, which you wouldn't normally hear."

"When I think about how the executives of the Strategic Investment Department might be trapped in the complex and volatile interstellar stock market... Xing feels a little more at peace."
