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

Inside the most luxurious and best-equipped kitchen in Thousand Star City, a busy figure is at this moment.

As time passed, an enticing aroma wafted gently from the kitchen.

The aroma filled the entire room, seeping through every crevice and permeating the entire hotel lobby.

The waiters and company employees looked around for the source of the aroma, and the sound of stomachs rumbling echoed throughout the hall.

They were hungry.

Talavan's pig-like face was completely absorbed in the moment, with saliva uncontrollably drooling from the corners of his mouth.

"Chicken soup is here!"

Cheng Xiao walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron and a warm smile on her face.

Seeing this scene, Manyu couldn't help but swallow hard. The down-to-earth charm of that married man was truly irresistible.

If I could come home from get off work every day and be greeted by a smiling man in the entryway, all my stress and frustration would vanish.

Looking back now, I can't help but envy those women on Xianzhou.

Taravan quickly got up and took the dishes. Cheng Xiao had only prepared four dishes and a soup, without using any expensive ingredients, just some home-style dishes.

"I am truly flattered to be able to taste the food prepared by a demigod."

"You're welcome. I see you're quite overweight, probably because you like to eat a lot of oily and high-fat foods, so I specially made a set of weight-loss nutritional meals to help you cut through the greasiness."

The dishes on the table did look rather bland, and normally Taravan would hardly even glance at them, but the aroma that wafted into his nostrils constantly reminded him that what he was looking at was an exquisite delicacy.

Scoop up some high-protein green peppers and wrap them around the shrimp paste. Talavan took a bite and was immediately overwhelmed by the spiciness of the peppers and the freshness of the shrimp. The bouncy texture combined with the salty aroma of the seawater made his brain release dopamine like crazy, and his mouth watered uncontrollably.

"Delicious! So delicious! It's absolutely amazing, I'm going to eat and eat and eat!"

He was so engrossed in eating the mountain of meat in front of him that he was completely absorbed in the delicious food.

Looking at the scene before him, Cheng Xiao felt a strange sense of beauty, as if he were witnessing Bo Gang eating.

He shook his head, but then a noisy argument broke out outside the restaurant.

"What happened?"

"It's alright, please don't worry about it. There are always some nouveau riche in Thousand Star City who cause some chaos by spending money recklessly. Sir, you should rest." Manyu comforted him and poured Cheng Xiao a glass of expensive red wine.

"But I keep feeling like I'm hearing Bai Heng's voice... Am I hallucinating?"

After this meal, Taravan was completely convinced and patted his chest, saying:

"Mr. Cheng Xiao, please rest assured, my vote is definitely on your side. However, I cannot change my decision immediately."

"What do you mean?"

"Because the company's seven departments are actually quite sophisticated. Although the 'Traditional Projects Department' has been neglected due to its mediocre performance, Mr. Zaida, who actually controls the department, is a true veteran. In other words, he has personally witnessed Louis Fleming's founding of the company!"

Taravan's tone was serious:

"No matter how much the other six departments scheme against each other, it's all child's play to this old man. So his vote is crucial, and it can even be said that it represents Chairman Fleming's position."

"Is that so...?"

"Haha, sir, there's no need to worry. Actually, it's a bit of an overreaction for you to get involved in this matter. In fact, the direction of the expansion itself is a kind of guiding light for the company. Just watch, the results will definitely not disappoint you."

......

At this moment, Xing and Bai Heng encountered Xu Zhao, who used her access to the company's lottery goddess account to navigate through various complicated procedures.

The market development department tried to stall for time by holding a fake meeting, but Xing exposed their scheme on the spot.

Just when the market development department was ready to fight to the death, Kenneth stepped in to stop them, playing the good cop.

"Those guys in the market development department are going too far! They're not taking us seriously at all!" Bai Heng said indignantly.

"That's right, that's right. We'll talk to Uncle Xiao about it afterward, and then we'll have him come to the market development department for a chat." Xing was also indignant.

"I have an even better idea. Why don't we have Cheng Xiao go and complain to Amber King? Maybe Kripper will stop building the wall and just smash the Market Development Department with a hammer instead?" Xu Zhao offered a "conscientious" suggestion.

Kenneth, the leader, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief again. These demons were truly lawless, using demigods as self-destruct weapons, were they?

The thought of such a situation is terrifying. It's like gods fighting, and mortals suffering.

"Everyone, please follow me in the elevator to the Empty Sound Academy. My father will be waiting for you there."

Once you reach the top, the starry sky is right before your eyes, a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.

"Haha, everyone, isn't the view great? From there, you can see the entire Thousand Star City. Not many people are qualified to enjoy this view. In the whole company, there are only seven people who can."

"Oh, let's go take a look. We'll also call Uncle Xiao to come and see. I want to know what's so special about it."

Kenneth: (ˉ▽ˉ；)......

"Ahem, never mind what I said, everyone please follow me."

Upon reaching the center of the platform, a beam of golden light descended from the sky, illuminating everyone, much like a UFO landing on a remote planet and shooting white light at the planet's inhabitants.

Then, the group suddenly took to the air and slowly drifted towards the entrance in the sky.

"We actually flew?!" Bai Heng was extremely surprised.

"Don't you guys think this is sacred?" Xing couldn't help but complain.

"I think it's like Jesus ascending to heaven," Xu Zhao commented.

Who is Jesus?

"A delicious coconut shortbread."

Kenneth: "..."

Upon arrival, Kenneth looked relieved, as if he could finally get rid of the three time bombs behind him.

"Father, I have brought the person here."

"Let them come over; you can leave now. The child is not suitable to be present for the rest of the conversation."

"I see."

Kenneth turned and left without hesitation, leaving the space to the Trail Blazers.

"Will the following conversation contain anything inappropriate for children? That could have a bad influence~" Xu Zhao joked without any tension.

[Haha, Miss Melly, you should know that age is not the basis for distinguishing seniority, but rather character, stance, composure, and the responsibility one bears. My godson is not qualified.]

Xing and Bai Heng were a little suspicious. Why did Xu Zhao seem to know Mr. Zaitian so well?

"Let's get straight to the point, we need your vote," Xu Zhao stated his purpose.

Actually, I'm not satisfied with either of the proposals. My job is to select a successor for the company, but both sides in this power struggle are still relatively inexperienced and can't win my vote.

Therefore, Trail Blazers, I need you to provide a third option.

[Ever since you arrived in Thousand Star City, I've been observing you. Your efforts to lobby, shout, and win over others are reminiscent of Fleming during his early entrepreneurial days; but your constant use of Mr. Cheng Xiao as a trump card for threat and pressure is also quite amusing. Perhaps this is the difference between expansion and preservation.]

Now, please share your thoughts. If it's compelling enough, it has a chance to win my support.
