Of course, Bronya believed in the value of Jiang Yan's face. After all, she had witnessed with her own eyes that he could even get the eldest lady of the Interstellar Peace Company, the genius of the Genius Club, and the general of the Immortal Boat to stand up for him. This face must be more important than anything else.

The friendship between the two naturally did not require much courtesy, so Bronya simply nodded:

"In that case, thank you and Xi'er for your hard work. If you need any assistance, please feel free to contact me and Pella at any time."

Although Seele likes to solve problems in a simple way, she is not a madman who loves war. Faced with Bronya's arrangement, she agreed very straightforwardly:

"Don't worry, Bronya, I will complete the task as soon as possible."

Soon, the two took the cable car back to the lower city and came to the door of the old weapons test site behind the mountain wall. After watching Xier sneak in quietly, Jiang Yan showed an embarrassed expression.

Although cutting the debt saved Beloberg a lot of money, it also brought a side effect: this old weapons testing ground was legally considered the property of the Interstellar Peace Company. As long as there was no real fighting, it was reasonable for them to do whatever they wanted in there, and even Bronya had no reason to interfere.

So to be honest, Jiang Yan couldn't find any reason for this kind of visit that came knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

What do you want to say?

"Brother, you're wearing a strange mask. I strongly suspect you're secretly building a Gundam in there to destroy Beloberg. That doesn't make sense."

So Jiang Yan knocked on the door while racking his brains to think of something to do so that he wouldn't be kicked out as a psychopath.

It wasn't until he recalled Topa complaining to him about the bad relations between the various departments of Interstellar Peace Corporation that he suddenly had an idea:

I have no reason to represent Beloberg, but I have reason to represent Topa!

At this moment, two security guards finally trotted out from the experimental field, shouting arrogantly:

"This is the property of the Interstellar Peace Company. No outsiders are allowed to enter!"

However, facing this kind of intimidation, Jiang Yan ignored the weapons in the other party's hands even more arrogantly, walked in with his head held high and said:

"Whose subordinate are you? I'm Jiang Yan, a good friend of Director Topa of the Strategic Investment Department. I heard someone here is colluding with outsiders and trying to tamper with her project. Let me see who's so bold!"

Oops, I've been entangled by a fool! : Chapter 95 Plastic Teammates

The big hat Jiang Yan put on almost scared the two security guards to death.

Normally, they wouldn't care about unfounded accusations, but the problem is that the employees in charge of this project are even wondering about the various unreasonable aspects of this project...

Ever since Toppa sold off the production line and automated robots in the old weapons testing ground, he lost interest in this remaining empty shell base and directly transferred it to the entire department's resource pool as a non-performing asset to be liquidated, waiting for the staff below to develop or resell it and extract its residual value.

This is normal. How can it be so easy to deal with a non-performing fixed asset that has the hidden danger of an antimatter army attack, underdeveloped technology, lacks supporting facilities, low residents' consumption level, and inconvenient transportation?

However, even though it was an empty shell that might not be wanted even if given for free, Sha Jin, the leader of the bad asset liquidation team, went against his usual habit and personally intervened in the project. With his strong business ability, he actually found a wealthy businessman from Epsilon to invest here, planning to develop this abandoned base into a competition venue for the famous game "Etherfront". He even provided a large sponsorship fee that was enough to renovate the entire base.

Holding a large-scale tournament in a place with no players? What did Director Shajin tell that idiot from Epseron?

No matter how many questions there were, no one dared to go against Shajin, the P45, and no one dared to go against the job they had worked so hard to get. So, the employees who were originally waiting to evacuate to the new project could only stay in Yalilo VI, a primitive, backward and cold planet, and endure the cold.

But when Jiang Yan shouted this, the nature of the matter changed.

No one wants to be involved in the internal struggle between two executives, especially when it involves terrifying charges such as being a traitor. Not to mention becoming a loser, even if you are even slightly involved, your career may be over.

What was even more exaggerated was that after the two security guards scanned his face with the system, they were shocked to find that the extremely arrogant young man in front of them was marked as a top KA (key customer) in the internal system of the Strategic Investment Department, who must be given the highest level of treatment at all times.

If you offend a client of this level, regardless of whether you're right or wrong, you're doomed. Even if you're on the right side, you'll definitely be singled out as a scapegoat. So, without a word, the two security guards suddenly changed their attitude and said flatteringly:

"Dear Mr. Jiang, hello, we are only responsible for the security here and really can't make the decision. We will take you in to see Director Shajin now."

This kind of selling leader with a strong desire to survive made Jiang Yan smile silently. He nodded, accepted the other party's kindness, and opened the portable terminal to contact Topa without any concealment.

Now that it was confirmed that Topa was not the one causing trouble, things would be easier to handle. Jiang Yan asked directly:

"Topa, there's a guy named Gold Sand sneaking into the old weapons testing ground at Yalilo 6. Judging from his name, he seems to be your colleague? What's he doing here?"

At this time, Topa was doing his routine stretching exercises before going to bed. He was also shocked when he saw his friend's reply.

After successfully resolving the issue of the old weapons test site, she went to other planets to run business. The remaining finishing work obviously did not require the involvement of a senior director-level cadre like her. Unexpectedly, before she knew it, her colleague actually wanted to bypass her to establish a relationship with Jiang Yan?

Topa was fully aware of the demand for gold sand. The Pinoconi project could not be solved by just talking or luck. To fish in troubled waters, it was necessary to have enough forces involved to muddy the waters. Jiang Yan, who had brought in countless forces to support Yalilo No. 6, was obviously one of the best candidates.

Topa had no reason to refuse such a crucial strategic move. But why did they deliberately bypass him and make such a big fuss? Was he afraid of being smeared by others? What good things could I say about you, sir?

So Topa mercilessly said:

"That's right, that guy is one of the 'Stone Heart Ten' like me, a pure gambler. He came here this time probably to get to know you and make friends."

Topa's answer made Jiang Yan's expression completely uncontrollable. It was so mysterious that Beloberg almost sent out a large army, but it turned out that he just wanted to make friends?

Is my friend slot expensive? Can I simply add myself as a mobile terminal friend?

Thinking about Topa, who almost destroyed Beloberg just by making a friend, Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain:

"Do you, the 'Stone Heart Ten', always like to make such a big fuss when you make friends?"

This sentence made Topa couldn't help laughing. He laughed for a long time before replying:

"Hahahaha, sorry, I didn't mean it. No fight, no deal. As for that guy, since he's come to you, it's up to you whether you're willing to be his friend or not. If he needs anything from you, just ask him straight away. He's very generous."

Jiang Yan certainly didn't expect Topa to sell out his colleague completely. The fact that they could reveal and hint to this extent was already a result of their close relationship, so he naturally wouldn't continue to ask questions and make things difficult for her. So he replied very straightforwardly:

"Okay, I understand. Sorry to bother you so late at night. I'll treat you next time we meet. Good night."

After typing this string of words, he closed the portable terminal and took the elevator to the central area of ​​the test site.

Mr. Shajin, who was said to want to make friends with him, and the mysterious masked man, of course, knew of Jiang Yan's arrival after making such a big fuss outside. However, whether it was Shajin who wanted to make friends, or the masked man who wanted to have fun, they had no idea how to deal with this uninvited guest.

When did this guy escape from the Immortal Boat? How did he know I was plotting against him? I haven't even started yet!

They had no idea that the Belobergs were frightened by the "source code" and were completely confused by the situation. But being confronted in the middle of the night by someone precise enough to question them was clearly impossible to send back. Shajin had no choice but to greet them and said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Jiang, I've long heard of your name. I'm Sha Jin, a specialist in non-performing asset liquidation in the Strategic Investment Department of Interstellar Peace Corporation... and of course, I can also be your friend."

Looking at the young man in front of him who seemed to be only a few years older than himself, even though he had already seen Topa, the workplace legend, Jiang Yan still couldn't help but be shocked by the other party's youth.

Where did Interstellar Peace Company get all these monsters? If they weren't immortal beings, how could they have been promoted from P13 to P45 in ten years at most? They'd be opening orders every day, striking strategic partnerships every week, rescuing departments every month, and pulling the CEO out of trouble every year?

Facing this workplace monster from the business department, Jiang Yan didn't believe he could gain any advantage from the other party with his eloquence and tricks, so he got straight to the point and said:

"If possible, I prefer a more ordinary way of making friends. After all, the Belobergs don't know your enthusiasm."

Hearing Jiang Yan talking about making friends right away, Sha Jin knew that Topa had probably given him a heads-up and that he had seen through his true intentions before he could do anything. He could only say with a wry smile:

"I think this is a misunderstanding. I really want to make friends with you on this stage, but as you can see, the stage hasn't been set up yet. I was still thinking about how to invite you from Luofu, but you've already arrived."

At this moment, the strange man with the strange three-colored mask beside Jin Sha also spoke:

"Greetings, Mr. Jiang. My name is Giovanni di Giorgio da Epsilon—a small private merchant from Epsilon and the sole sponsor of this year's Interstellar Victory Celebration. Please allow me to provide proof for Mr. Shajin. Our cooperation agreement was just signed. It was my insistence on Mr. Shajin coming to this planet as soon as possible to inspect the preparation site for the competition that led to this misunderstanding."

After hearing the masked man's introduction, Jiang Yan's expression became very strange:

"Mr. Shajin, you actually invited a big shot from the entertainment capital to invite me? You could have just added me as your terminal friend."

Is a friend status of mine really that expensive? When I get back to Luofu, I have to pay the friend fee to those idiots who only know how to make fun of me!

Although this masked man looks suspicious, the surname Epseron is quite powerful.

Epsilon is not an ordinary planet, but a galactic entertainment capital that occupies an entire galaxy and has many planets.

With its extremely developed film, television, entertainment, and singing and dancing industries, the influence of the Epseron United Chamber of Commerce covers almost all civilizations. Even in the Immortal Boat, it has a large number of audiences and fans. It is an economic entity that cannot be underestimated in the entire galaxy.

The other party's surname is Epseron, so he must be at least a descendant of the administrators of a certain planet. Considering that the opponent can actually discuss business directly with this Director of Sand Gold, his level or financial strength cannot be low.

Just to lure me over from the Immortal Boat, I actually spent so much money?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain:

"Besides, since you've invited even the biggest names in entertainment, why bother with a 'Star Battle Celebration'? Just invite Miss Mockingbird to give a concert here. Even without an invitation, I'd still bring my friends to enjoy it."

Like to spend a fortune? Then just give me some friendship money and we'll continue the discussion! Jiang Yan made a huge offer without hesitation.

After hearing Jiang Yan's words, Sha Jin couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure.

Mockingbird is currently the biggest star in the entertainment capital, her influence practically encompassing the entire galaxy. Not to mention her status as the younger sister of Sunday, the head of the Oak family, the de facto manager of Pinocchio. Even with this dual status, while he's always generous with his friends and has a large network of friends, how could he possibly afford to invite a superstar of this caliber to his concert?

Besides, how could someone ask for friendship money so bluntly? What on earth had Topa instilled in him? That bastard, she'd never said anything good about him. Eighty percent, no, it had to be her evil plan! Sand Gold silently grumbled.

More importantly, this Mr. Giovanni is really not a hired agent by himself!

Although I don't know what Mr. Giovanni, who has a mask on his face, comes here for fun, the relationship between him and me is completely naked and mutually beneficial. I can't even get him to join Pinocchio, so how can I ask him to do more?

In desperation, Sha Jin had to look at Giovanni for help.

However, Giovanni was also under great pressure at the moment. He was attracted by Sambo's great fun and originally only planned to appreciate the great fun that was about to happen on this planet from the front row, so he hit it off with the guy from the Interstellar Peace Company, but he didn't plan to join the game in advance and become the fun to be seen by Sambo.

More importantly, he and this guy, whose face showed "other intentions", were simply using each other. Why should he take the blame and pay for him?

A robin? You're so bold! Do you want me to go back to the tavern and ask the guy who can turn into a robin to sing for you?

Giovanni wiped his sweat and replied:

"Mr. Jiang, you're joking. A small private business like Miss Robin is naturally out of reach. Furthermore, Miss Robin has already left Epseron and returned to the Gala Star to plan a performance at the Pinocchio Harmony Festival. She's definitely not available right now. But Mr. Jiang, I assure you that this "Interstellar Victory Celebration" will still be an entertainment extravaganza."

Feeling the attitudes of these two guys, Jiang Yan was finally sure that Director Shajin had made such a big move and invited helpers. In addition to making friends, he must have other intentions, but it had nothing to do with Beloberg's safety. He finally relaxed and looked at these two smart guys, feeling extremely unhappy.

People scare people to death. No matter what you want to do, can't you be less tricky and more sincere?

If I don’t give you guys a scare and then sell these two friend positions at a sky-high price, I will be doing my cake a disservice!

So Jiang Yan shouted without hesitation: "Xi'er!"

As soon as the words fell, a butterfly-like phantom descended from the sky, revealing Xier's figure, and complained to Jiang Yan in great dissatisfaction:

"What are you doing?"

Where's the promise of one open and one hidden? How can you be so open and backstab your teammates?

"Hurry up and tell Bronya and Nata that you can withdraw Silver Mane Iron Guard and Earthfire. They are not enemies."

Although she didn't understand what Jiang Yan meant, Xier had one advantage: she knew she was not good at thinking, so she simply followed Jiang Yan's advice, walked aside, opened the portable terminal, and began to report the situation to Bronya and Natasha.

After listening to Xier's report, Shajin and Giovanni felt very uncomfortable.

What exactly went wrong? No one had time to do anything, so why did the natives of this planet even mobilize their army? Is that really the case?

At this time, Jiang Yan also bowed his head slightly and apologized:

"I'm sorry, but this planet has been covered in ice and snow for seven hundred years, so it hasn't kept up with today's entertainment trends. I'm a bit surprised by this, so please forgive me. Of course, I'm a martial artist, so I'm not that skilled. I appreciate Mr. Shajin and Mr. Giovanni's kindness."

"I'm sorry for visiting you so late at night. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he left with Xier.

Friends' money? Let's pay the Silver Mane Guards' military expenses first!

Chapter 6 Hardcore Dating

Having done such a big thing, Jiang Yan certainly would not let his friend who had kindly revealed the details to him face the accusations and blame from his colleagues without knowing anything. After returning to Klipperburg, he immediately contacted Topa who had been waiting for further information.

"Hahahaha, did you really kick open this guy's set in the middle of the night and smash the script in his head to pieces? Serves him right!"

In the portable terminal, Topa laughed so hard that he fell backwards. It took him a long time to recover his composure and he said with a gloating look:

"That guy always treats everything as chips, hiding it in his hands or throwing it onto the table, even people's hearts."

"However, there's no exchange rate for people's hearts. Only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity. He should have run into someone who didn't buy into his tactics long ago and suffered a great loss!"

Sure enough, the most accurate criticism is when colleagues criticize each other. Jiang Yan nodded in agreement with Topa's sharp comments.

"Who said it wasn't? He asked for your introduction. If he had any request, would I not give you face? Now, when he asks you for something, don't forget to ask him for a commission."

"Don't worry, please trust my professional skills as a debt collection expert."

Of course, Topa accepted Jiang Yan's kindness and reciprocated it by telling Jiang Yan the truth:

"You're aware of our department's concerns about Pinocchio. But I must say that this former 'Border Prison' is legally the property of our Interstellar Peace Company. It's just that, thanks to the Cancer of All Worlds, it's long since become a bad debt."

"The company respects everything Tongxie has done for Pinocchio and has attempted to sit down and talk several times, but the family won't even give them a chance. So, we're forced to resort to some necessary tactics. Now, this guy, Shajin, is the person in charge of this project. He's been trying to bring people in, hoping to muddy the waters and find a way to change everything. That's why he came to you."

Jiang Yan finally understood why Director Shajin went to such great lengths to make friends with him, but an even more absurd feeling arose within him.

Does this guy think he is some big shot in the galaxy just because he borrowed the favor of two geniuses and Xianzhou in Beloberg?

When it comes to the confrontation between the two major forces in the universe, what's so great about my own military strength or the city builder's artifact?

If Bronya were to go, she'd at least be considered the leader of a small faction, and she could also provide some third-party support. But what would be the point of calling someone like me, whose highest position is "Leader of the Ghost Hunting Squad of the Special Operations Team for the Suiyang Escape Incident under the Ten Kings Division," besides wasting the Interstellar Peace Company's travel expenses?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but complain:

"I think he misunderstood my identity and influence..."

After a long silence, Topa, who was shocked by Jiang Yan's unconsciousness towards him, couldn't help but reply:

"I think you, who was able to force the company to make concessions, have a misunderstanding of your own status and influence... I beg you to be proud, otherwise I will look like a failure if I am forced to be demoted."
