Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

Oswaldo's projection stood up. "Are you truly on the path of 'preservation'? Zaitian? You're old; such outdated thinking...excuse my bluntness, but it doesn't need to exist."

Two projections appeared on their respective seats. "Oswaldo, this is not your personal fiefdom. Since the seven above have asked us to vote for our seats, we should abide by the rules."

Another projection continued, "Indeed, this is a meeting, a discussion, not a matter of whoever shouts the loudest being right."

"You two only have one vote each. There are two people, but only one vote... Without my market development department, this company will never have any new blood. So my market development department is the first choice to take over Pinocone."

"You're declaring victory before everyone's even here? I'm sorry, my logistics department doesn't agree. Besides, if you're not satisfied, you can talk to me offline. Give me your location, and I'll be right there."

Hua Wu's ethereal projection appeared at this moment. He truly couldn't stand these people; each one of them made the entire ethereal projection a blurry mess. It didn't resemble him at all. He directly used Kripper's high-definition, uncensored 3D virtual model to perfectly interpret his yearning and pursuit of the Amber King.

Oswaldo pointed at Hua Wudao and said, "Wei, what gives you the right to represent yourself with the appearance of the Amber King's sacred body?! Even your superior, Taravan, wouldn't dare to do this, and you, at such a young age, are already doing it. I think this logistics department should..."

Hua Wu's voice turned dangerous, "Haven't you ever seen collapsed amber? How about I show you later? Although I don't care about this logistics department, you have no right to pick up what I don't want. So what if you're arrogant? You can do it, but I can't? I don't have that many tricks up my sleeve. If you're so capable, then don't run away."

"Ladies and gentlemen, quiet. The goal of this meeting is to acquire 50% of Pinocchio's shares and inject new 'value' into the company," a voice, neither clearly male nor female, came from the head of the table, obviously belonging to one of the board members.

"I am only a witness; the actual voting is up to you."

(I fell asleep; I'm the only one in the dorm.)

Chapter 155 Hua Wu: Guess if I dare? Oswaldo: Me, the Foehn?

Hua Wu's voice was tinged with laughter: "As a witness to the meeting, you just need to witness it. As for your name, you didn't even show your face. You must be an unknown person."

The voice from the main seat was calm; after all, it wasn't a good time to turn hostile. Who knows how varied their expressions were when they discovered that annihilation lord named Carlo?

"Indeed, I am only the recorder for this meeting, but I will record everything you say and do."

The amber projection swayed, "Go ahead and keep track. Anyway, I'm leaving, and I'll take the blue of the amber with me. Guess who'll be held responsible then."

Oswaldo was getting fed up; he wouldn't tolerate anyone more arrogant than him here. "Vi, do you think you can protect yourself with that thing forever? Didn't Taravan teach you the meaning of respect?"

The amber projection flickered, then transformed into the Hunter. "Oswaldo, I admire your words to me. You're the first to fall with the amber hammer. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I'll make you feel the chilling cold and your heart soar with the Hunter's sharp arrow right now."

Oswaldo admitted that he seemed to be no match for this man, and that he had indeed lost his temper. "Your logistics department isn't exactly benevolent either, with its prohibition of trade and monopolistic practices. Isn't that even more suffocating than my market expansion efforts?"

In response to moral blackmail, Hua Wu resorted to a sweeping attack, saying, "Oh dear, so you know you're not a good person, huh? Not a single department in the company practices 'preservation,' their motives are all impure. Cripper doesn't want the company to sacrifice for him; he wants the company to have the awareness to sacrifice for the entire galaxy."

A woman's voice retorted, "Why don't you sacrifice yourself? That sounds nice. You're still too young."

Hua Wu paused for a moment, "Your name is... the one from the Consolidation Department, right? After he finishes his expansion, you'll go and consolidate... tsk tsk tsk—I'll go and dismantle a few pieces of the Celestial Wisdom Wall and the Sub-Void Crystal Wall later, then smash them into your Consolidation Department so you can properly consolidate your 'Storage Protection'."

Diamond said in a deep voice, "Wei, you're exaggerating."

The projection in the field said calmly, "Heh... Taravan has indeed taught a decisive and efficient disciple, but this lightning... has struck us old folks instead."

Hua Wu said calmly, "I didn't strike you. I was just referring to certain people. If you think my voice is too shrill, you can plug your ears."

"It's quite lively here. Looks like I'm late." A projection appeared in the last empty seat.

Hua Wu looked at the projection and said with a smile, "Still researching? Why don't you retire, like my old man?"

"Technology knows no bounds, child," the projected voice said with a gentle tone.

The projector on the main seat seemed a bit annoyed. "Ladies and gentlemen, quiet. Although I am a witness, I have the right to keep the meeting running smoothly. The target of this meeting is Pinocene. Currently, only the Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department are responsible for external financial communications within the company."

"This meeting is about choosing one of these two departments."

Hua Wu switched back to his own projection and sipped his sparkling red wine. "Diamond bribed me, so I vote for Diamond. My Construction Materials Logistics Department is voting for the Strategic Investment Department."

The two projectors next to Oswaldo said calmly, "Talent Incentive Department... We vote for Market Development Department, after all, the Development Department can indeed provide more opportunities for employees."

"In the traditional projects department, I'm in Tian. I'll vote for the strategic investment department, Pinocchio... If we really want to trace it back, it's one of the company's original assets," the experienced projector said before leaving the meeting.

"Business Consolidation Department, Market Development Department, let's be frank, he bribed me too." The blurry projection was aimed at Diamond and Hua Wu, seemingly a provocation. After the provocation, the projection was turned off.

The board representative at the head of the table was a little nervous. The company didn't prohibit this kind of competition, but the way it was said so blatantly was unacceptable.

"Silence. This is the last vote. Asari, your choice will determine the company's future. You'd better think carefully."

"Be cautious? This time, I, your wife, plan to give the young people some opportunities. Let the strategic investment department go to Pinocchio to hone their skills." After saying that, she turned off the projector.

The projector on the main seat announced: "Meeting adjourned. The Pinocone project will be handled by the Strategic Investment Department, with Diamond as the person in charge. Meeting adjourned."

After the two people from the Talent Incentive Department left, only Diamond, Oswaldo, and Hua Wu remained.

“3 to 2, Oswaldo, you’re no match for me either. By the way, you just mentioned the Madman of Destruction…” Hua Wu smiled, his deep blue pupils sending a chill down Oswaldo’s spine.

"What? You... wait, I remember now. The company found out you became the Lord of Destruction during your vacation! What are you planning to do?! What are you going to do to my Expeditions Department?!" Oswaldo now remembered that they had received this notice before, but he hadn't taken it seriously at all.

A person can walk several paths in life, but it's impossible for them to reach their goal on every path. Therefore, he initially dismissed it as a joke.

But now he knows that the joke isn't funny.

Hua Wu laughed at this moment, "Hahaha... I'll tell Fen Feng that I'm going to challenge him to a duel at your branch company, but I won't go... Guess what he thinks... will he let your branch survive after being stood up? Or will your entire business galaxy survive?"

"You dare to do this? The board representative just left."

"Do you think I wouldn't dare? Today I'll show you what it means to be brave and do it, and let you see the determination and belief of us young people."

Hua Wu's projection took out his phone and said into it, "My dear little wildcat, I'm going to play your secret little video in the market development department of Interstellar Peace Company. It's the one where you and Huanlong are hugging and cuddling. If you don't want the company's market development department to spread this everywhere, hurry up and come over. If you find that I'm not there, it means I've already sent it. I'll only wait for you for 5 minutes."

Oswaldo calmly replied, "That's psychological warfare. You're not actually the Great Lord of Annihilation, are you?"

"Ding-dong-"

Xingxiao's female voice rang out, "Darling, you sent it to the wrong person, I'm not Fenfeng."

Hua Wu and Oswaldo exchanged glances, and Hua Wu picked up his phone and said with a smile, "That's right, because Fen Feng doesn't use a phone, I can only send it to you. Honey, remember to let me know."

Diamond's expression was strange. "Who is she?"

"It's alright, it's just a vanguard general of the antimatter legion. The real showdown is with the Foehn Wind. Mr. Oswaldo, if you don't go to your branch office to guard your base soon, the destroyed stars and supernovae will bring you an extra surprise. My logistics department wishes you good luck. I can give you some 9% off coupons for delivery. You can send all your misplaced supplies to the logistics department anytime. I welcome them anytime." Hua Wu's projection disappeared after saying this.

Chapter 156 Hua Wu: Using a borrowed knife to kill. Diamond: Am I the handle?

"You must have done this to Diamond, right?! What did you use to bribe him?! I won't accept this!"

Faced with this question, Diamond simply smiled slightly. "I only asked him to vote for me, I didn't do anything else. Let alone bribe him, I just wanted to do him a favor."

"As for why he dislikes you, how would I know? You should think about your own problems. He's not as easy to talk to as I am. No, it's his logic that we can't figure out."

“You, Diamond…you’re also involved in this matter.”

Diamond chuckled and shook his head. "I think you should listen to his advice and guard your warehouse. Even if you want to shift the blame onto me, it still depends on you being alive. Besides, what does it have to do with me that Fenfeng blew up your warehouse? I'll give you a suggestion: try using your prized credits to see if you can bribe Fenfeng. Alright, that's all I have to say. Goodbye."

"What?! You just wait!"

Diamond pressed the button to close the meeting amidst Oswaldo's furious expression.

"The vanguard general of the antimatter legion... a woman... is it that woman? One is a transporter, the other is setting up stations everywhere... Don't say these two seem alike... Wait, what am I thinking? I need to finalize the selection of the person in charge of the Pinocchio project first."

......

train----

"Anyway, it's Fenfeng who's going to do it, not me. It perfectly fits the old man's rules. I'm too kind; I actually followed this will. No, what should it be called again... Never mind, his disappearance and death seem to be no different."

"Ding-dong————"

Hua Wu turned on speakerphone and tossed his phone onto the table.

"What else do you want? Is Oswald going to kneel down and beg me?"

"No, he seemed quite angry. Regarding this matter, you can make one reasonable request of me, as long as it's within my bottom line."

Hua Wu half-jokingly said, "Why don't you disband your investment department, then have them all go to a tavern for interviews? If they get hired, they can work there for six months and then come back."

Diamond choked immediately, "Cough cough... Could you get me something a little simpler? I don't have that much time right now."

"Then I'll suggest something very simple: go to Oswaldo's territory. Use your diamonds to create a 3D projection. I don't know if you can beat it, but I suggest you release it and run."

"3D projection? What do you want to project?"

"It's that video of Fenfeng and Huanlong being all lovey-dovey. Let me tell you, after that video was shown, Fenfeng's fighting power will be at least five times stronger than before."

Diamond thought for a moment, "That person has already suffered enough. Well, let's be lenient."

Hua Wu's mood was not good at this moment. "If this won't work and that won't work, then what's the point of all this? Anyway, if you can't repay my favor within three days, I'm going to give you a surprise. You don't want Fen Feng to know that there are his secret videos in the Strategic Investment Department, do you?"

Diamond, upon hearing this, had no choice. Since things had come to this, he could only temporarily sacrifice the market development department. "You're ruthless. I agree. I want to see what kind of video could possibly enrage the Great Lord of Annihilation."

Hua Wu smiled and said, "I sent you a compressed file, and the second and third files are the best."

"The second is that Fenfeng is enjoying a massage from the abundant scum, and the third is the secret that Fenfeng and Huanlong have to keep to themselves."

Diamond asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then what's the first one?"

"That's a video of me constantly beating and humiliating Fenfeng. Don't be fooled by the size of this one; its destructive power is far less than the two that follow."

Diamond felt like she'd fallen into a trap. "You... this method of using someone else to do your dirty work... it seems I've become the handle in your plan, haven't I?"

(I've thought of a not-so-new mechanic: is there a support hero that reduces their own speed but proportionally increases the speed of the entire team? This isn't included in the total word count.)
