Chapter 441 Falling
Chapter 441 Falling
In the hotel lobby on the first floor, Xing saw from afar a few old acquaintances sitting on the sofas not far away.
There is Jiang Fan's old friend, her acquaintance Topa, her good colleague Sha Jin, a man who is not strange but feels very close to her, and Heita, who stands out from the crowd and makes her subconsciously touch her beautiful face.
Xing blinked, feeling a little puzzled. She didn't know why she had such a sense of familiarity with a man she had never met before.
It was like when Lu Bu saw Dong Zhuo for the first time, thinking, I have never seen this person before, but I feel close to him!
But the people traveling with her did not give her much time to think. It was only a few dozen meters from the corner to the hotel lobby. In the blink of an eye, she met the eyes of the people from Heita.
"Long time no see, everyone on the Star Train, and my good colleague, Xing." Shajin raised his glass with a faint smile on his face, "I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to you and the Alliance, General Luofu."
"Laosha is so strong, just like a cockroach." Xing muttered in his heart, feeling deeply moved and full of admiration.
If someone who doesn't know the inside story hears it, they will only think that this is Xing's unilateral insult to Sha Jin, but people who are in the know know that this is undoubtedly a compliment and high praise.
Being able to survive a move from the sword of Jing Liu, the absolute master of Xian Zhou, and still be alive and kicking is enough for Sha Jin to brag about in the future.
Can he tell everyone he knows the Immortal Boat Immortal's envoy Jing Liu? I have fought with her before. She is very strong, but I am not weak either.
"With all of you here to witness it, I'm sure this negotiation will conclude successfully with a result that satisfies all parties." Sha Jin was unaware of the little drama going on in Xing's heart. He glanced at the unknown guests on the Starry Sky Train and said softly.
"Oh? It seems that everyone has already had some expectations. Why don't you tell us about it?" Jing Yuan asked.
"Of course, come on, Toppa?" Shajin turned to look at Toppa and asked for his opinion.
"Well, leave it to me." Topa glanced at the empty starry sky behind him, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he quickly hid it, straightened his expression and said:
"Overall, it is good news. After deliberation and voting at the meeting of the Major Affairs Group of the Strategic Investment Department, the following resolution was passed by an absolute majority of members."
"Based on long-term considerations for interstellar peace, this has been authorized by Pierpoint Headquarters."
After a pause, Topa continued, "The Strategic Investment Department will represent the company in permanently giving up its claim to sovereignty over Pinocchio and unconditionally support the family's reconstruction of Pinocchio."
"Hmm?" Xing nasally said, his face full of disbelief, as if he was out buying groceries and saw Thanos taking out a few coins from his pocket to pay for the groceries.
I thought to myself, Lao Jin, all the pain and suffering you endured at Pinocchio was in vain.
"Haha, quite interesting." A hint of surprise flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes.
"Then was the knife taken for nothing?" Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Haha, if this can bring peace to the entire universe, it will be worth it." Gold Dust smiled.
Xing couldn't help but shiver, thinking something was wrong, something was really wrong.
"Bringing peace to the entire universe" is a phrase that actually came out of the mouth of a senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department. Did the sun rise in the west?
"Have you finished discussing the company's opinions? Then it's our turn." Doctor Zhenli crossed his arms and said calmly, "The Society and the Genius Club also paid close attention to the disaster at Pinoconi. Finally, we have decided to reach a comprehensive cooperation and provide technical support for the reconstruction of Pinoconi..."
"... Let's hear what that genius has to say for the details, Miss Heita." After a pause, he turned his head and looked at Heita, who was sitting on the sofa drinking Suleda soda with a look of indifference on her face, and sighed imperceptibly.
He had the most intuitive evaluation of Black Tower - genius. Without a doubt, Black Tower was the most typical genius, a prodigy who looked down on others.
He had no doubt about Heita's intelligence, but he always suspected that Heita's intelligence was of no help to others.
Compared to Heita's genius resume, he was more interested in the father of machinery whom he had never met.
And it's inevitable that there's an illusion that they're like-minded, but at the same time, he marvels at the genius's charm that could even attract the arrogant Black Tower.
"Well, to make a long story short, it was originally planned that Screwgum would be the representative of the Genius Club to review Pinocchio, but for various reasons, I ended up taking over." Heita took a sip of Suleda and nodded slightly.
"We have decided to temporarily suspend the advancement of the simulated universe project, and will support the Institute of Knowledge's research on dreams and memories as a technical consultant, so that this memory quality can better serve me, um, all mankind." Heita gently put down the cup and said lightly.
Two black lines flowed down Xing's forehead. He thought to himself, you must mean to say that you serve yourself, right? You are a genius to change your words without changing your expression. You are so thick-skinned that it's outrageous.
"Not only that, we also contacted Yi Ting through the company, and they also promised to assist in the research..." Doctor Zhenli said slowly, "Oh, I'm really happy for the dream chasers of Pinocchio. The smartest and dumbest minds in the universe are now all at their disposal."
Xing stood by in silence, feeling that everything was so perfect that it was a little unreal. How could the Black Tower be so nosy? Would it give up the process of simulating the universe for this?
How could the company ignore the lucrative opportunity of Pinocchio and instead turn over a new leaf and fully support the family's reconstruction efforts?
"This...did I hear it right?" Xing lowered his voice and whispered to Jizi and the others.
"Well... although there are some doubts, the ending is finally good." Uncle Yang shook his head, obviously a little surprised by the company's unusual behavior.
After discussing the negotiations with Pinocchio, Shajin and Topa left first, saying that the company and family affairs had not been fully dealt with and they were needed to coordinate the overall situation.
The same was true for Dr. Latio of the Academy of Knowledge, but the reason was not some excuse like coordination or aftermath, but that he wanted to visit the father of machinery.
Heita originally thought that he had nothing to do, and he would still have to stare at those vixens when he returned to the train, so it would be fine for him to stay and let Xing tell him about what he saw in Pinocchio.
As a result, Latio took the initiative to say that he wanted to visit Jiang Fan. She finally had a legitimate reason to occupy Jiang Fan's private time. She patted her skirt, stood up, and said lightly, "I am going to look for him too, so come with me."
Xing was filled with contempt. Deep down, she didn't believe that Heita was really on her way. But she didn't dare show it on her face, for fear that Heita would use a hammer to smash her pretty face.
"No wonder you all insisted that she come forward." Jing Yuan turned around and smiled at Xing, "It's great to know that you all are willing to help Pinoconi solve his problems. I believe that you all will reach a consensus in the next negotiations."
After a pause, he continued, "It seems that the future of Pinocchio is decided. I wonder if everyone in the train crew still has any concerns?"
"Peace is our greatest wish, nothing else." Ji Zi shook her head.
"Haha, okay, since you all have nothing to worry about, Jing Yuan will take his leave here. You all can go on your journey with peace of mind, and the subsequent related matters will be left to our alliance." Jing Yuan smiled.
"Well, I want to know one thing. I heard that Pinocchio is interested in joining the alliance?" Xing looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one around, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked.
"Be careful in what you say and do. As for whether Pinoconi will continue to pursue harmony or embrace immortality in the future, that is also a problem that the Pinoconi people themselves need to consider in the future. The Alliance has always convinced people with reason and has never used the tricks of deceiving people." Jing Yuan explained with a calm expression, as if he was practicing Tai Chi.
Xing understood it instantly, slapped his head and said that it was indeed his negligence. The Xianzhou Alliance under the Immortal's rule has always been a model of convincing people with reason, and it is also the "pioneer of law" in the universe. Naturally, it does not practice the practice of forced belief.
Jing Yuan patted Xing's shoulder, expressing his happiness that she had such a high level of comprehension. Before parting, he said that next month would be the Xianzhou Alliance's martial arts performance ceremony, and everyone could come and watch if they had time.
Xing readily agreed and said that of course we would come to watch and might even send someone to participate!
After saying goodbye to Jing Yuan, the train crew was the only ones left in the huge hotel lobby. Even the service staff in charge of the celebration banquet rushed into the inner hall, busy as they were, wishing they could become four-handed tyrants.
"In that case, it looks like we don't have anything to worry about in Pinocchio anymore... I guess it's time to embark on a new journey." Himeko suddenly said.
"Well, I agree." Walter nodded.
Xing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after a brief silence, he just closed his mouth and nodded heavily, his pupils deep, no one knew what he was thinking.
She wanted to say that she always felt that there were things she hadn't finished and people she hadn't thought of at Pinocchio, but when the words came to her lips she didn't know how to explain them, so she could only remain silent.
"Then you two should go back to the train first. I'll go check out. And..." Ji Zi turned her head and stared at the Black Swan who suddenly appeared beside Xing, and said softly, "Miss Black Swan also wants to talk to me about something, right?"
"Well, you are worthy of being Miss Navigator." Black Swan smiled.
"So you've been here all along..." Xing looked up at the black swan with a gentle smile on his face, and muttered, "Can you please not be so elusive next time? You're scaring people to death..."
"That's fine. Xing and I will be waiting for you on the train." Walter shook his head and looked up at Xing. "Let's go. The Pinocchio trip... ends here."
Xing followed Uncle Yang and left. She should have been excited at this moment, but she couldn't smile at all. She felt inexplicably heavy, and even her usually brisk steps seemed heavy.
Is the journey to Pinocchio really over here? Xing asked herself over and over again.
.......
Everyone is asking me if I have gifts or extra chapters, but the answer is definitely yes, after all, everyone knows that I am very hardworking.
