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

"Such an important matter definitely needs to be discussed with higher authorities."

Su Chen shrugged and casually said, "Go ahead."

"Ah."

Jade immediately dialed Diamond's number and laid out all the terms they had agreed upon: "These are Mr. Su Chen's terms. Please make your decision, Manager."

She and Topa fell silent; the diamond manager had his own way of making judgments, and they didn't need to say anything more.

As the head of the strategic investment department, the boss's ability and judgment are beyond question.

"I think you're ready to make this call."

The sound of a diamond is gentle and steady, as if it can penetrate the heart.

He knew that Su Chen was still waiting for the result, so he didn't think too much and said directly, "If you are willing, Mr. Su Chen's conditions can be agreed to."

"If you are unwilling, in order to avoid affecting the relationship between the company and Mr. Su Chen later, the first point can be discussed with Su Chen again."

As the head of the strategic investment department, he had to consider many aspects.

The second and third options are fine; they simply require resource allocation. The second option involves both envoys, so the allocation can be substantial. The Interstellar Peace Corporation consumes a considerable amount of resources annually by groveling before the Great Black Tower; it's just a matter of providing for one more envoy now.

The third point, supporting Pinocchio, is not too difficult.

It doesn't matter who gets the project, we're just giving Pinocchio a farewell gift instead of a million-dollar return. We can't possibly lose money.

The only condition was that Su Chen demanded the separation of the departments under Jade and Toppa, so that they could serve him alone.

Realistically speaking, he was happy to see it happen. Although it was war reparations, who could say that this wasn't a deep collaboration with this envoy?

He has always treated his ten subordinates, Shi Xin, very well, and they share a deep bond.

If Emerald and Toppa perform well under Su Chen's command, they will win his favor.

That was a very beneficial thing for the strategic investment department and for him.

On the contrary, if Emerald and Toppa themselves resist working under Su Chen, the trouble that may arise later could be even more troublesome than what is happening now.

Moreover, these two were two of the ten men in Stone Heart, subordinates personally appointed and approved by him as the cornerstone.

Although the company judges success or failure, he also needs to respect the personal wishes of his subordinates.

Actually, the fact that the two of them were willing to make this call meant they were already prepared. But he still wanted to confirm something.

"We are willing."

Jade and Toppa exchanged a glance, both giving a firm confirmation.

Based on the previous conditions, it was simply a matter of changing jobs.

They even brought all their previous employees with them, so they didn't need to go to an unfamiliar environment.

This means that their branch of the Interstellar Peace Company was directly handed over to Su Chen. On the surface, their connection with the company was severed, but this transformed relationship was definitely closer than any lingering ties.

To put it more vividly, once the conditions are met, their department will participate in the operation of the Interstellar Peace Company as a share of Su Chen's shares.

The changes are significant, yet also not so significant.

As for other costs, let's talk about that later.

Judging from Mr. Su Chen's words, even if he were to use underhanded tactics, he wouldn't be so blatant.

“Since you have agreed, then all three conditions can be met.” Diamond’s gaze seemed to transcend space as he met Su Chen’s eyes: “From now on, the resources and power of Emerald and Toppa will be fully handed over to Mr. Su Chen for handling.”

"The salaries of them and their subordinates, as well as the costs of mobilizing resources, will still be borne by the Strategic Investment Department. You will gain maximum power without any obligations."

"The other two conditions will also be negotiated by me through Emerald and Toppa with Black Tower Space Station and Pinocone. Everything will be open and transparent to you."

"If you wish, they will still hold the collection of topaz and loan of jadeite, and will serve you alone as the ten members of Stoneheart."

"Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We hope this apology will help you forgive the Strategic Investment Department's previous rudeness."

His voice was calm and gentle, revealing the decisiveness of a mature investor who knows how to let go.

Even though he valued these two subordinates highly, their influence also constituted a significant portion of the strategic investment department.

Once the core strength falls to Su Chen, the strategic investment department will experience significant upheaval and substantial losses.

One should accept the consequences of a bet; if one is unwilling to pay the price for losing, there will be an even greater price to pay later.

As the envoy, he was even more aware of Su Chen's extraordinary nature.

He knew more than ordinary people. On the day of the Pinocchio Harmony Festival, all the stars cast their gazes upon Pinocchio, something that had never happened before.

All the other star gods except those who perished or were unconscious.

Everyone cast their gaze on that day!

No one knew what this meant, not even he, as the guardian of the order, could understand it.

But Pinocchio is the place where hope rises, and perhaps it will be the next unfathomable god!

Therefore, he is willing to accept a higher price if he wants to mitigate the impact of the company on Pinocchio's actions.

"The diamond manager treats people with sincerity, and I am very satisfied with the current result."

Su Chen's lips curled slightly as he reached out and said, "The foundation stones can remain in their hands; I have no objection."

The two foundation stones appeared in the hands of the jade and topaz, returning to their original owners.

The two were slightly taken aback. They had achieved their goal, but they didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Although they will retain their positions within the company, they have voluntarily submitted to Su Chen's command.

"I'm glad you're satisfied. I won't bother Mr. Su Chen any longer." Diamond said apologetically, "It was impolite of me not to pay my respects in person this time. I will certainly not be impolite next time."

Then, the call was hung up.

Only four people remained in the room.

"It's finished just like that?"

The robin seemed a little hesitant to stand still.

Could such a huge compensation be decided in just one phone call and a short period of time?

The head of the strategic investment department, a guardian.

She almost always granted Su Chen's requests, her only objection being that she didn't want to cause trouble later.

When did the people in this company become so easy to talk to?

Su Chen patted the robin's waist and said with a smile, "That's considered complete. The remaining two conditions still need to be discussed, but I'm sure there won't be any problems."

"Ah."

The robin nodded slightly, perking up.

She knew that the other party had agreed so easily only because of Su Chen.

But this is a bit too much of a show of face.

At this moment, Toppa and Emerald also slightly suppressed their astonishment.

They hadn't expected that the diamond manager would make such a significant decision so easily.

According to company practice, bargaining is the proper thing to do.

From this perspective, Su Chen's status in the eyes of the diamond managers is even higher than they imagined.

This is no longer an ordinary envoy; we must do everything we can to maintain the relationship.

That's why I made the decision I have now.

“Mr. Su Chen, from now on, Topa and I will be your subordinates.”

Holding the foundation stone, Jade rose and bowed to Su Chen, smiling as she said, "In the future, I hope Mr. Su Chen will take good care of me."

Toppa was still somewhat emotional. He bowed along with Emerald, his expression complicated: "Please take care of me from now on."

From now on, things can never be different from before.

Although it's just having multiple superiors, it's essentially the same as working for a company—it's all a form of indentured servitude.

But you must serve Su Chen wholeheartedly and meet any of his demands.

Forget about free love; maintaining purity for her master is a maid's self-cultivation.

Fortunately, this person isn't bad, and she can try to accept him.
