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

"You two...have you had enough of this?"

Unable to maintain the smile on his face, Jeremy clenched his fists and hit each of the two shameless men on the head.

"I'm just going out for a fight, and you two have already arranged everything for me, right? Next time, can you give me a whole welcome ceremony from the mortal world?"

After mercilessly punching each of the two bastards, the smile on Jeremy's face completely disappeared, and the resentment visible to the naked eye looked more terrifying than a ghost.

Following Jeremy's actions, this hasty "memorial service" finally couldn't be sustained. Amid screams of "It's haunted", the company employees who had just gathered in the reception room scattered like birds and beasts.

It's not hard to imagine that news like "Jerami's Secretary Comes Back from the Dead, Perhaps as a Ghost Seeking Revenge" will soon become the headline of the company's internal newspaper.

"The main thing is to do the whole performance, so that it will be more genuine."

Although Sha Jin was punched by Jeremy for his mischief, he was not angry. He took out the camera used for filming and looked at the content recorded in it with satisfaction.

Although Topa's acting just now had some flaws, it's not a big problem. As long as the part where Jeremy appears later is cut out, it will be a perfect "live recording of the memorial service."

"Remember when you were betrayed by a traitor and the identity of 'Glass' was revealed to the family? The day after Lady Emerald learned of your betrayal, she rushed back to Pierpoint, intending to find the traitor and the person behind it and avenge you."

"During the days you were lost in Pinocchio's dream, Ms. Feicui turned the company upside down. She'd busted a lot of people in departments like the Marketing Development Department and the Talent Incentive Department, and even uncovered a few hidden spies within our Strategic Investment Department... Here, these are the fruits of her labor."

Topa signaled Zhang Zhang to bring over a list and hand it to Jeremy.

"You know, Ms. Feicui is in charge of internal cleansing. This time, the insider leak implicated you, which really pissed her off. However, after the investigation got to a certain point, more and more people in the company started to intervene, which made Ms. Feicui feel very constrained."

"So you told the company I died an honorable death, giving Ms. Jade a reason to continue investigating, right? You even set up a funeral hall for me."

Looking at the list that Topa handed over, Jeramy raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Ms. Emerald would make such a big fuss for him.

For corporate spies, knowing how to deal with the situation after being betrayed is a compulsory course, and the leakage of this information did not cause much trouble to his actions at Pinocchio.

It would be better to say that if he had not revealed everything to Miss Robin in Liumeng Reef as if he were telling her his last words, Pinocchio might not be able to catch the tail of "Glass" even if he searched for another year.

Therefore, when he ran into Topa and Shajin holding a "memorial service" for him, he felt more speechless than angry.

As three funny guys under Ms. Jade, they have been cheating and helping each other for a long time. This is just an excessive joke at best. Even the mourning hall is not very formal. The photos are in color, but there is not even a coffin.

"It's a rare opportunity to catch someone wrong, so let Ms. Jade have some fun. Consider it your sacrifice for the happiness of the entire department."

Topa patted Jeremy's shoulder in a comforting manner and asked Jeremy pretending to be indifferent.

"By the way, I heard from Shajin that you have a girlfriend in Pinocchio. I didn't expect you to have such a refined interest while on a spy mission. Are you just playing around?"

"This one……"

Hearing Topa's question, Jeramy's eyes, which had been somewhat serious, suddenly became erratic, and even his answer became vague.

How could he explain to his colleagues that he was not doing his job properly at Pinocchio and was having an affair using public funds?

No, Topa's side is still easy to deal with, but if Lady Emerald knew about this...

As if he had foreseen his own fate, Jeremy suddenly had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

The consequences of making Ms. Emerald angry are terrible, and the list of dismissals that Topa just stuffed into his hands is just the tip of the iceberg.

Looking at Jeramy's silence and Sha Jin's gloating look, a bad premonition suddenly emerged in Topa's heart.

"You are just playing for fun, aren't you? Just playing for fun, right?"

"Ahem... Let's not discuss this topic for now. I came back for something important."

After coughing twice and forcing the topic away from his love life, Jeremy briefly explained the progress of his current work.

"I've found the remains of the breeding beast. If nothing goes wrong, the Amber King's Sacred Body used to seal it is also there. Not only that, I've also found the genius Chadwick who broke up with the company two hundred years ago. I've reached out to him for a partnership, but he has two conditions."

After briefly explaining Chadwick's request to Topa and Shajin, the trio fell into silence.

It's easy to contact Black Tower or Screw Gumu. With their connections, it's not difficult to get their contact information. At worst, we can ask the Starry Sky Train, which we have some connections with, to help pass on the message.

However, it is not easy to completely destroy Chadwick's research results from two hundred years ago, and the market development department will never give in easily.

The three of them sat at a round table with a fruit plate on it, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

As we all know, when three like-minded guys get together, they will always come up with a lot of clever ideas, not to mention that the only one who can discipline them, Ms. Emerald, is not with them at the moment.

After a moment, Sha Jin slowly spoke.

"I have an idea..."

Volume 96: Ms. Jade: My cub is in love?

"Ms. Emerald, please do not be afraid of what we are about to say."

In the communication room of the interstellar spaceship, Topa, Shajin and Jeramy gathered here. In this space that was more than enough to be converted into a large Internet cafe, the three of them squeezed in front of a small screen, looking at the mature and charming figure on the other side of the communication.

The three people's heads were pressed close together, looking like three rhinoceros beetles wrestling with each other.

And Zhang Zhang enjoyed the highest treatment at this moment. In the past, it could only stand on Topa's shoulders, but now, in order to grab a picture on the screen, it sat directly on the heads of three people.

Sometimes, the three of them really wanted to complain about the company's insane confidentiality measures. In the huge communication room, only this physical communicator that looked like an antique from the previous era could directly communicate with the company. The other quantum communication screens that could be summoned from the console with a wave of the hand had to go through several stations.

In response to this, the unscrupulous guys in the R&D department argued that things that look backward are better concealed, and that this communication method that has been through many risks and has been tested is more reliable than new technologies that are still unknown to what problems they may encounter.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

On the other side of the screen, the gentle and beautiful Lady Emerald, like a venomous snake, crossed her legs, her palms clenched, a purple venomous snake coiled around her wrists and fingertips.

The wide brim of her hat slightly covered her cascading purple hair. Ms. Emerald looked as elegant and dignified as usual. If it weren't for the slightly dim background, one might have thought she was sitting in her office as usual, looking at the documents passed to her and making plans.

But unfortunately, the communication between Jeremy and the other two was not timely. Ms. Emerald was not sitting in her office as they had imagined, but was in a heavily guarded hall. She was not sitting on a chair, but a company employee kneeling on the ground, supporting her body with her hands and knees.

"Wow……"

The moment they saw the scene on the other side of the screen, Jeremy and the others exclaimed in amazement.

Although they have been colleagues for many years, they rarely see Ms. Jade display this kind of aura.

As the company's lender, Ms. Jade appears kind and calm most of the time. After all, with her three protectors around, there is basically no situation that can make Ms. Jade take her seriously.

But this leak that almost exposed Jeramy's identity obviously made this always elegant and calm lender serious.

"Don't act like a bunch of ignorant kids. Tell me, what kind of trouble did you get into at Pinocchio again, or did Jeremy almost mess things up again?"

He swung the long whip in his hand, and the whip, which was connected by inch-by-inch metal links, made a crisp sound on the ground, making the other people in the hall lower their heads even more humbly.

In recent days, Ms. Jade, who has a gentle tone but ruthless means, has caused quite a stir within the company. Those insects who wanted to plot against her three generals were pulled out from the shadows one by one and killed by her. If the list of all those implicated was printed out, it might be longer than the hem of Ms. Jade's skirt.

"Ahem... Here's the thing, Ms. Emerald."

Sha Jin coughed lightly and brought the topic back on track.

"While carrying out his mission at Pinocchio, Jeremy discovered Chadwick, the 79th member of the Genius Club, who had collaborated with the company two hundred years ago but disappeared after their falling out. It seems he's collaborating with Pinocchio and is reportedly planning to build two extremely destructive mechas."

"Jerami tried to get him to join us, but the genius made a request—the company had to destroy all his experimental results from two hundred years ago."

After saying that, Shajin threw a look at Jeremy, signaling him to speak according to the lines they had agreed upon before.

After a barely perceptible eye contact, Jeremy cleared his throat and began his speech after a long absence.

"Two hundred years ago, after collaborating with a company only to discover he'd been deceived, Chadwick somehow escaped the laboratory the company had built for him and ended up in Pinoconteur. Now, Pinoconteur has persuaded Chadwick to build two extremely powerful mechas through some unknown offer. It's truly unpredictable where these weapons will be directed."

He habitually made the gestures he used when telling a story, but because the three of them were too close, his fingertips accidentally lifted a strand of red hair on the side of Topa's face.

Jeremy looked at Ms. Emerald on the other side of the screen with a "sincere look" and smiled as usual.

"That's it."

This is a lie!

Topa, who was standing by, listened to her two best friends talking nonsense to Ms. Emerald, and tried very hard to keep a straight face so as not to reveal herself.

It's really amazing that Shajin could come up with such a worthy method and even let Jeramy accompany him to act it out properly.

In fact, the idea of ​​gold dust is not difficult to understand. To put it simply, it is - confusing cause and effect.

Jeremy's goal is to convince Chadwick to use his own technology to help him rebuild the bodies of the two Guardians, and preferably use his genius knowledge in the field of weapons to upgrade the weapon systems of the two Guardians.

Although the Oak family of Pinocchio said they would provide him with resources as much as possible, those two conditions could only be fulfilled by Jeremy himself.

Jeramy had already asked a certain star core spirit to use her connections across the universe, both in the black and white, to contact the Black Tower and Screw Gum, but destroying the experimental results that Chadwick had researched for the company was obviously not something the Star Train could help with.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have started thinking about what chips or handles he could use to make the market development department give in. However, Sha Jin's idea was - why must we ask the market development department to do things for us? Wouldn't it be the same to use Chadwick to put the market development department on the fire?

Anyway, Chadwick has already promised Jeremy that he can start working first and inspect the goods later. As long as either of the two conditions is met, he can start work first.

They were telling the truth about "building two high-attack mechas in Pinocchio".

Of course, it is not so easy to get credit from a genius, but there is no need for them to worry about it.

Instead of trying to figure out how to meet the genius's requirements themselves, they pushed the marketing department into a position where they were criticized by all sides and finally had to agree to Chadwick's request.

In this way, there is no need to beg the marketing development department to give in, but the marketing development department will take the initiative to choose to reconcile.

Perhaps Chadwick’s reputation alone couldn’t reach that level, but the simultaneous pressure of three geniuses was something that even a department in the company couldn’t underestimate.

Even if the other two geniuses are not as hostile to the company as Chadwick, it is enough to just wave their flags.

Of course, even if this is achieved, the market development department may still not give in, but it doesn’t matter. As long as the old accounts between them and Chadwick are laid out in the open, Sha Jin’s goal will be achieved.

With so many people interested in it, Chadwick's original research could definitely not be hidden, and it would eventually be found by those who were interested.

As long as they can determine where it is, the rest will be much easier. At worst, Jeremy can just make one more trip. After they stole the official seal of the Market Development Department, they secretly stamped a lot of blank documents. By forging two documents, Jeremy can have a smooth journey and be welcomed by local departments.

It has to be said that the decision made by the three of them to join forces to steal the official seal of the Market Development Department on a whim was absolutely the right one.

"Is what they say true, little Yelina?"

Looking at the confident smiles on Shajin and Jeramy's faces, Ms. Emerald nodded without comment and turned her inquiring gaze to Topa, who was trying hard to keep a straight face and remain silent, even using his real name, which was used in private.

Compared to the other two guys who have more holes in their minds than spider webs and who try to find ways to make things difficult for him from time to time, the more straightforward little Ye Lina is more trustworthy.

But this time, Ms. Jade miscalculated.

If it was a face-to-face consultation, Topa might have revealed her true colors due to nervousness, but through the communication screen, she was still able to barely overcome the psychological barrier of going along with Ms. Emerald's scandal and pretend to be nonchalant.

"Yes, Ms. Emerald, Jeremy did meet that Chadwick, and he was indeed using the Oak family's resources to build mechas."

Topa nodded seriously, and even Zhang Zhang, who was sitting above the three of them, hummed and shook his ears to show his agreement.

In order to help Jeremy, they were willing to give it their all this time. Even if they might be held accountable by Ms. Emerald after returning to Pierpoint, that was something they would have to consider later.

As for why they didn't tell Ms. Feicui about it, turning her from a colleague into an accomplice... this involves the issue of adults not interfering when a child gets into trouble.

"Well, since you're all so certain the information is credible, I'll devise a plan to put pressure on the Marketing Department."

Looking at the three people on the other side of the screen who seemed a little nervous, Ms. Emerald instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Based on her years of experience of being behind the backs of these three guys, she was sure that they were definitely hiding something from her.

After all, they dared to steal the official seal of the market development department when she was only away on a business trip for a few days last time. Now the sky is high and the seniors are far away. She dared not imagine what they could do when they were left alone in Pinocchio.

But seeing as they're determined to go along with the gang, I probably won't get anything out of them by asking directly, so I'll try to ask them indirectly.

"Speaking of which, the near-miss of having his identity leaked from the inside shouldn't have hindered Jeremy's actions. Did Miss Saturday, whom I met on the street, try to take advantage of it?"

His fingertips gently stroked the venomous snake wrapped around his wrist, and his sharp eyes shot out from under the wide brim of his hat with a casual tone, as if he could point directly through the screen into Jeremy's soul.

The sudden question stumped the three of them, especially Jeremy, who seemed to have his little secret discovered by his parents, and his voice became hesitant.

"this and that……"

How could he explain to Ms. Jade that not only did he not use Miss Saturday to achieve his own goals, but he also took advantage of his work convenience to fall in love with her.

Strictly speaking, the three of them are now working together to save Pinocchio, who exists as Miss Saturday, from the swarm of insects.

Although it is the consensus of the entire strategic investment department to cheat the market development department, this behavior can be regarded as betrayal both subjectively and objectively. If Ms. Feicui knew about it, the consequences would be very serious.

"Oh, hemming and hawing isn't like you. Where's the eloquent Jeramy? It seems a lot has happened while I was away... Topa, you tell me."

Seeing Jeremy's hesitant look, Ms. Emerald narrowed her eyes and became more certain that the three of them must have set a big trap for her at Pinocchio.

"Ms. Emerald, during the operation, Jeramy developed a relationship with the woman named Saturday that went beyond that of a corporate spy and victim. He also had a close relationship with the Universal Singer, and it seems they've already secretly engaged."

Without any hesitation, Topa decisively sold Jeremy.

After all, the best way to cover up one thing is to use another thing to attract other people's attention.

Although for Jeremy, perhaps this matter is more worthy of covering up.

"Is that so... Well, that's understandable. After all, having experienced life and death in the memory space, the fact that a young man and a young woman developed a relationship beyond friendship under the influence of the suspension bridge effect is a timeless and beautiful story in the universe."

After listening to Topa's story, Ms. Emerald nodded calmly, not seeming to think it was a big deal, but she looked a little emotional.

"Time flies! The little girl I personally brought into the company is now old enough to fall in love... So, I'll build momentum within the company and put pressure on the marketing department. Don't worry about this. Just remember to take care of yourself at Pinocchio."

Stroking the little snake in her palm, Ms. Emerald's smile was full of teasing.

"I don't care about your free love life. Just don't bring back a potential marriage partner for the department when you go out."
