Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Jade's words made everyone frown; the situation seemed far from optimistic.

On Sunday, he asked, "Regardless of how many people support or oppose it, the final decision rests with a vote by the ministers of the seven ministries before any action can be taken."

"Really? That's terrible. Judging from Jade's tone just now, the votes are probably one-sided." Xing's attitude was very pessimistic.

"On the contrary, please don't worry. Since the Diamond Manager is absent, I'm temporarily representing the Strategic Investment Department, and I've secured the support of Mrs. Scarface from the Business Consolidation Department and Zazad from the Talent Incentive Department." Emerald gave a reassuring smile.

"So now it's three to three. All we need to do is win over Mr. Zaida from the Traditional Projects Department, and the result will be decided."

On Sunday, someone asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't Mr. Zaida vote?"

"He didn't state his position directly, but postponed the vote. I don't know the specific reason. However, after five system times, he will give an answer at the final decision-making meeting."

"Five systems?!" March 7th exclaimed in surprise, "Is that all the time left?!"

"Unknown guests, the situation is urgent. Let's persuade Minister Zaitian!" Hoshi clenched his fist to encourage them.

Emerald shook her head: "In fact, he refuses to meet with anyone, especially lobbyists within the company."

"Such a big shot?" Xing said with some dissatisfaction.

"Jaitian is the most senior of the seven ministers and also the most mysterious bigwig. Apart from making decisions at key occasions, his schedule is never revealed to the public." Emerald said with some helplessness.

"I have already sent people to collect information on his whereabouts today, and I expect to have news soon. After all, such important figures prefer to make decisions behind the scenes rather than debate with their subordinates in the public eye."

"I see~" Xing revealed a teasing smile.

Seeing Xing's smile on Sunday and March 7th, they immediately realized she had another mischievous idea.

As expected, Xing immediately hugged Bai Heng's slender waist, tears welling in her eyes, and sobbed:

"Aunt Bai Heng, listen to this! This is the pomp and circumstance of the company's management! Look at these 'big shots' and 'veterans,' it's so hard to even get a glimpse of them! But when we went to the Immortal Ship on the Starry Sky Train, we met a demigod right away! Even though the demigod greeted us so kindly, the company's higher-ups refuse to show their faces. Are they even more powerful than demigods?"

Bai Heng flicked his tail, immediately understanding, and then, as if channeling his inner drama queen, pretended to ponder:

"This is indeed a thought-provoking question. My husband is a balanced demigod, an being who wields divine authority yet walks among mortals. We are very dissatisfied with the company's reception and need to have a good talk with Xiaolang about the company's service issues."

Fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on Jade's face; the hat was way too big.

Indeed, compared to those elusive company executives, the powerful Xianzhou openly tells you – we have a demigod residing in Luofu, frequently appearing in the vegetable market. If you're interested, come and bump into him yourself!

Jade had the good fortune to have dealt with Cheng Xiao once, through pearls and placer gold, especially during the Pinocchio incident.

Because Cheng Xiao is so approachable, like an ordinary househusband, it's hard to associate him with a demigod.

But if we really get to the bottom of it, besides the Amber King himself, who would dare to act mysterious in front of a demigod?

After thinking it through, Jade showed a relaxed smile:

"Trailblazers, don't scare me. The Strategic Investment Department has always supported you."

"Yes, yes, but this Mr. Tian seems to dislike us. Should I call Uncle Xiao over and see who he is that even Uncle Xiao can't get us to come?"

Xing's voice was sarcastic, but if Cheng Xiao were really invited over, things would get complicated for the company.

Jade sighed: "Pioneers, please calm down. Things haven't come to that point yet. I will soon be able to contact Mr. Zaitian for you. I believe that with Pioneers' sincerity, we will be able to persuade him."

"What if we can't convince them?"

"Well... as a last resort, you can use Mr. Cheng Xiao as a bargaining chip."

"Why make things so complicated? I'll just have Uncle Xiao negotiate!" Xing didn't take any pressure.

Now it was Jade's turn to take out a handkerchief and start wiping her sweat.

"If that's the case, things will escalate, and everyone will be embarrassed. Besides, Mr. Cheng Xiao represents balance, and his involvement in this kind of dispute isn't really in line with the path of balance. If you insist on doing this, Pioneer, won't it also cause trouble for Mr. Cheng Xiao?"

"That makes sense!" Xing clapped her hands, but then pointed at Bai Heng and said:

"But look who this is. She is one of the legendary heroes of the Immortal Ship, one of the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds, Uncle Xiao's wife, and also a member of our Nameless Guests. May I ask if Aunt Bai Heng is qualified to pay her a visit?"

"Oh... of course."

"That settles it then. Let's go, Aunt Bai Heng, lead the way. This pioneer will see who dares to stop us today."

Bai Heng pointed at himself, looking completely bewildered:

"Huh? Me? Do I have that much influence? That's not a good idea, I don't even have much status at home."

Xingyu said earnestly, "Aunt Baiheng, don't underestimate yourself. Although you have no status in front of Uncle Xiao, and he'll do anything for you just to feed you; although you're a silly fox in front of the Mirror Flow Sword Master; although you're a lucky charm in front of the Danfeng Dragon Lord; although you're a cheerful idiot in front of Aunt Yingxing; although you're a pure, simple-minded creature in front of General Jingyuan, besides all that, you are our hope!"

Bai Heng, the entire fox, turned pale: "Am I really that pathetic? This life is so meaningless, I can't stay in this house anymore!"

"Xing! Get to the point! You've already turned Aunt Baiheng into a maggot!" March 7th couldn't help but complain.

"Anyway, the situation is that this round depends on you for damage output, Aunt Bai Heng! I believe in you!"

Bai Heng was pushed to the forefront by Sunday and March 7th, and felt like he was forced to perform.

"I really... I can't do anything with you juniors. Fine, fine, I'll show you the skills and strength of the old nameless man." Bai Heng boasted, forcing himself to be brave.

The group of people ran towards the luxurious office building in a grand procession.

Jade smiled helplessly:

"I've done more than enough. If the market development department wants to pull any tricks, they'd better think twice about the consequences. Although it's impolite to track other people's movements, I'm also giving the [Traditional Projects Department] a good way out, aren't I?"

Emerald rubbed her temples, seemingly feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the intense thinking.

"Inviting the demigods of the Immortal Ship into the game is like a royal flush, keeping everyone's attention on edge."

"Wait a minute...where are they going? I haven't told them about Mr. Tian's information yet!"
