Xingtie, my life is like walking on thin ice

"Okay, then you should have a good rest. If you need any help, just call me."

"OK, good night."

"Good night."

......

The next day.

Enter the Dream Pool.

Zhuqing opened his eyes.

The method of entering the dream pool is very special. Even if you are very active in the dream, your body can rest well in real life.

It's just the accumulation of mental fatigue. You need to have a good rest after a long time.

After washing up, Zhu Qing pushed open the door. The door opposite was still locked. If nothing unexpected happened, Xiaoniao would have gotten up by now.

She still had work to do, so Zhu Qing naturally couldn't disturb her. He walked towards the lobby.

Zhuqing and Shajin agreed to meet here.

The dream is the family's territory, so it is always taboo to talk about it in the dream. Of course, talking about it in reality will also have disadvantages, and the family will be more wary of them.

When Zhuqing walked into the restaurant, Shajin had been sitting there waiting for a long time.

He is like a gorgeous peacock, young and rich, and is popular wherever he goes.

But if you think of him as a handsome playboy, you are totally wrong.

He has a dark heart, and what he wants to show is just what he wants his opponent to see.

"Dong dong."

Zhu Qing walked to the other side and knocked on the table gently, pulling Sha Jin's wandering gaze back.

"Busy man, busy man! Even if I want to treat you to a meal, I have to queue up now. This is even more grand than the one I have as an executive in the company's strategic investment department."

Shajin knew why Zhuqing came so late, but that didn't stop him from complaining about Zhuqing.

"If that's what you called me here for, I'm leaving."

"Hey, hey, it's been so long since we last met. How come you still don't have a sense of humor?"

The gold dust weighed down my hand.

"Please sit down. My main purpose this time is to spend some time with old friends. Other things come secondarily."

"It's really rare, this feeling of being included in your plan."

Zhu Qing shook his head and sat down.

"Haha, of course it's rare. How long has it been since we last worked together?"

Shajin sighed, "You're such a fool! Even if you left the company, you should at least keep in touch, right? You've been gone for years. If you hadn't asked me for help last time, I probably wouldn't have heard from you at all."

"Why, after becoming a Sea Patrol Ranger, you really want to completely break off with the company?"

"..."

"Calm down, you're not suited to this kind of role."

Zhu Qing shook his head helplessly, "Let's talk business."

This guy, after not seeing him for a few years, has started to act like a dramatic character. Of course, this fake acting is obviously intentional on his part.

The company would not allow an executive like Sha Jin to travel to Pinocchio. He must have a purpose, and it must be hidden very deeply.

There was still a smile on Sha Jin's face.

"You know the company's situation. This time, the higher-ups have issued a death order. We must open the door to Pinocchio."

"And I have also issued a military order to open the door of Pinocchio no matter what."

Zhu Qing's fingers tapped the table rhythmically but he didn't say anything.

He was waiting for Sha Jin to continue speaking.

"But now I've encountered a problem that bothers me. There are too many people coming to participate, and I have to deal with a mixed bag of people. This is good for taking advantage of the situation, but..."

"But if you're alone and have no one to help you, anything can happen and you need a teammate who can help you."

Zhu Qing looked at Sha Jin's gem-like eyes.

“It’s convenient to talk to smart people.”

Gold Dust chuckled twice.

"How about cooperation, my friend? Just like before."

Gold Sand spread out one hand, "I really like what you once said to me: sincerity is the ultimate weapon."

"So this time I've brought my sincerity with me. I only need to open the door to Pinocchio, and everything after that will have nothing to do with me. In exchange, I'll share all the intelligence I've gathered. If I encounter any problems that I can't solve..."

"[Gold Dust] will also lend you a helping hand."

Zhu Qing frowned.

"You brought the aventurine?"

"Hehe, maybe it's not just Aventurine. The ten Stonehearts are more united than you think."

Gold Sand glanced around and sighed helplessly.

"It's a pity that I don't have any stones on me now. Those vigilant guys in my family only left me this bag of cheap gems."

Shajin's tone was filled with helplessness.

"Even the power of a cornerstone isn't enough for you to lift up Pinocchio, Gold Dust, are you thinking..."

"A madman messing around."

"Haha, it's been a long time since I heard this comment, my friend."

Sha Jin put away his smile and raised the Su Le Da on the table.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation?"

"I want to know the current information of the family."

"of course."

Shajin laughed again. He knew that Zhuqing agreed to cooperate.

"Suddenly I feel like this mission has become a lot easier. Oh, Professor Latio is here too. You can go meet him."

......

Chapter 100: Conversation with Sunday

"He's here too? The company's spending is really big this time."

Zhu Qing raised his eyebrows.

It is not surprising that Sha Jin came alone, because for the ten people at Shi Xin's level, many of the jobs they did were done simply because they wanted to do them.

As for the work content, sometimes it may be difficult, and sometimes it is very simple, just for fun.

Money is just a number to them.

But Latio is different. Ordinary people can't invite him, let alone ask him to do this kind of thing.

The fact that he didn't throw the book in people's faces was because of his good character.

Sha Jin took a sip of Su Le Da.

"Let me put it this way. If this mission fails, I will most likely be kicked out of the Stoneheart Ten."

cornerstone.

Suddenly, this thought popped up in Zhu Qing's mind. When it came to the position of Shi Xin and the other ten people, as long as it was not a mistake of principle, it would basically be just a symbolic punishment.

These people are Diamond's hard-earned subordinates, and Diamond will certainly do his best to protect them.

It is actually quite difficult to make a mistake of principle. At least Zhu Qing has been in the company for so long and has done some extraordinary things, but most of these things were just symbolic punishments and were quickly resolved.

"Of course, if I succeed, I might be kicked out of the Stoneheart Ten, or... I might even be able to go further."

"After not seeing you for so long, you're really getting more and more complacent."

"I can't help it. Luck is always on my side."

Sha Jin put down the cup in his hand and leaned back in his chair.

“Contentment is a virtue of ordinary people, while timidity is a taboo for gamblers.”

Anyone who knows him knows that he always goes all-in.

"The bigger you bet, the more you win."

Zhu Qing no longer complained about Sha Jin's operation. He relied on this operation to climb to his current position.

He will bet everything he has to win. If he has money, he will bet money; if he doesn't have money, he will bet his life.

It is this kind of reckless play, coupled with his good luck, that has brought him all the way to where he is today.

"Be careful not to kill yourself."

"To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to that day."

Gold Dust waved.

"It's rare for us to see each other, so I'll treat you to something."

"Last time you treated me to a meal, you asked me for the development rights to a special zone. What do you want this time? What do you want?"

After talking about business, the two started joking.

"Haha, don't be so vindictive."

Shajin pushed the menu in front of Zhuqing.

"If you care about it, no one can take the development rights of that special zone away from you. Oh, by the way, did you want to quit from then on?"

"Even sooner. After all, there's always a job handover. Regardless of the company's environment, it at least gives me a chance. It's also my responsibility to part ways peacefully."

"So you did it on purpose. I was wondering why someone as calculating as you could just casually throw these tasks to other people."

Zhu Qing held his forehead helplessly. He was not good at calculating people's hearts, he just had a trick.

In terms of calculation, he is not good at all.

"never mind."

Zhu Qing picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. He didn't bother to be polite with Sha Jin.

"By the way, my friend, you should know about the Annihilation Gang, right?"

"of course."

"You also know that they died, right?"

"Ah."

"It was done by a Sea Ranger. I thought it was you, but you were on the Sky Train at the time..."

"You all seem curious about her identity."

"Oh? Someone got there before me? No way, my friend, I'm not even the first one to know this news?"

"Don't be curious about her identity. It won't help you."

Zhu Qing shook his head.

Forget about plotting against him. We are friends. As long as it's not too excessive, we can just turn a blind eye and let it go.

But I offended Huang Quan...

The company couldn't keep him.

"So, that person is really an envoy, right?"

Sha Jin still wants to know.

"Yes and no."
