Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

And at this time.

Su Chen looked at Emerald and Toppa, sensing their sincerity and intelligence, and said with a smile, "I can see that you are very sincere, and I really don't have any urgent desires."

"If I had just picked up these two foundation stones by chance, I would have gladly given them to you."

"But they're part of a conspiracy, and I can't make a hasty decision."

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.

The strong can use various methods to evade responsibility, but a clash between two equally matched forces cannot.

He is now not only talking to Emerald and Toppa, but also exchanging his will with the behemoth that is the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

"I apologize again." Emerald bowed her head and said with some bitterness, "We understand your actions; it was indeed our fault."

“But the foundation is of great importance, concerning the future of our lives.” Toppa looked at Su Chen and said sincerely, “That’s why I have the audacity to beg you for a lenient treatment.”

If the foundation is lost in her and Emerald's hands, their fate will be dire.

Those are important company assets; they are merely holding and using them on behalf of the company.

Even if the diamond boss who allocated them the cornerstone doesn't say anything, there will be plenty of other factions using this as an opportunity to attack them, and even the entire strategic investment department.

"Then let's draw up a contract." Su Chen smiled and said calmly, "I admire your talent and beauty, and I don't want you to be severely punished for this, but the company and you two do have to pay the price for your mistakes."

"First: Have the company strip away all your subordinate departments and bring them under my command."

"Second: I will also pay you financial compensation as my fee for the transaction, but I will not ask for credits; I will ask for research resources of equal value. This part will be handed over to the Black Tower Space Station, and the genius Black Tower will send people to liaise with the company."

"Third: Under the premise that you are not allowed to enter Pinocone, sign a free support agreement as a form of compensation for the impact on Pinocone. This part will be discussed between Robin and you, and the specific amount will depend on the specific circumstances."

"Once the above three conditions are met, I can return the two cornerstones in my possession to the company."

"These three points are about substance, not name, and you can name them as you see fit."

He didn't have a deep understanding of the universe; he only knew that the Interstellar Peace Corporation covered the entire universe, was extremely large, and extremely wealthy.

But he didn't know which technologies were valuable, which resources were valuable, or how much they were worth.

I might as well hand it over to someone who knows about it and seek compensation.

With Estella, the company's darling, under the command of the Black Tower, they're bound to be ruthless.

Meanwhile, Robin also has professionals from Pinocchio, so they're sure to get a satisfactory piece of meat.

He, in return, acquired jade, topaz, and their staff to handle various matters for him.

As two of the ten members of Stoneheart, Emerald and Toppa are undoubtedly high-ranking members of the company, second only to a few guardians. These two have a considerable number of employees under their command, capable of handling the vast majority of things in this universe beautifully.

On the other side of the Great Black Tower, there's Estella, the company's young lady, serving as the station manager of the space station, while on his side, there are two Stone Hearts Ten people handling affairs. That's what you call symmetry!

Now, we just need to see if these three conditions can be accepted.

If we were to put it openly and honestly, this would certainly be unacceptable.

But the key lies in the last sentence: it's about substance, not reputation.

This meant there was a lot of room for maneuver, and Su Chen was almost certain that the company's strategic investment department would agree.

Investors are often speculators and are best at switching concepts.

For example, a defeated army fleeing can be described as a strategic retreat, and a failed investment can be described as accumulating experience.

Small losses, small wins; big losses, big wins.

We've won so much, we're completely exhausted!

Su Chen even helped the Interstellar Peace Company come up with a name.

Transferring a significant portion of an important department to him can be described as establishing in-depth cooperation with the Intellectual Commander, with both parties exercising parallel leadership over the department.

Transferring the compensation paid to him to the Black Tower Space Station can be seen as the company having foresight and respecting the cooperation between the two intellectual envoys, thus providing massive, unconditional resource support.

As for the compensation agreement with Pinocene, it can be said that the company was carrying out post-disaster reconstruction in the affected areas out of humanitarian considerations.

After all that maneuvering, wouldn't a huge loss turn into a huge win?

Emerald and Toppa's expressions turned serious, and they said apologetically, "Please allow us to consider this condition."

Su Chen said nonchalantly, "Please do as you please."

He has plenty of time now and doesn't mind waiting a little longer.

The robin naturally began to massage Su Chen's shoulders, her movements very gentle.

The third support clause from Pinocene was very important to her.

Although all the conspiracies at the Harmonious Ceremony were thwarted and hope rose here, overshadowing the effects of his brother Qitu's restoration of order, Pinocchio was not seriously damaged.

However, Pinocchio's progress depends on communication with the outside world. And its most powerful partner is the Interstellar Peace Corporation.

As long as they don't harbor thoughts of annexation or plunder, they are the best partners.

Su Chen's restriction that the company could not be stationed there effectively eliminated this possibility. If Pinocchio could obtain a no-liability compensation agreement, it would usher in a new era of success.

How could she not be moved by such consideration for her?

"grateful."

Jade and Toppa nodded, then began to ponder.

The first condition is that he must recruit the two of them to work under Su Chen, and even their employees.

From this perspective, it seems that he genuinely admires them and is even willing to make recruiting them one of the conditions.

Now, I really don't know whether to be sad or happy.

The fact that they were valued so highly by a special envoy fully demonstrates their worth.

But these conditions also made them worry whether the diamond boss would agree, and what they would do if he did.

The second and third conditions are secondary; they only require the expenditure of some resources.

They were prepared in this regard, just not as much as Su Chen had requested.

If the offer were disguised as an investment with even greater benefits, the diamond tycoon would likely not refuse.

After all, this matter is extremely serious; it represents a disastrous strategic failure and has led to a conflict with a strategist who is suspected to be the throne.

This was handled internally by the strategic investment department to minimize the impact.

This matter has already attracted the attention of the two founders; it is extremely serious.

If they can't resolve this, and it gets handled by higher-ups, the Strategic Investment Department will suffer even greater losses.

Emerald and Toppa exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and said to Su Chen, "Mr. Su Chen, we need to submit your plan to the Diamond Manager for discussion."
