Chapter 45 Chapter 45 But the company is about to change.
But what does Edward have to do with the changes in the company?
The company is now roughly composed of three parts. One part is the people who have the same goal as the company before and want to bring down Everlasting Flower Pharmaceuticals. One part is the people who stayed after being rescued by the company to repay the favor. The last part is people like Edward who have nowhere else to go except the company.
For Edward, as long as the company doesn't ask him to cook the books, he won't consider leaving.
After the rush, Edward, who had sorted out his thoughts, was eating chicken legs and humming a song, and was blocked by Jack in the restaurant.
"You, you want me to build a supernatural array, I..." I don't want to get involved.
He pounded the table in front of him with his fist as big as a sandbag.
"I won't bother you at all, and I won't tell anyone else about what happened today." Edward declined politely.
There was a small hole in the table.
"We are all colleagues. Please be considerate of each other and don't make things so awkward." Edward advised earnestly.
The control-type psychic stood in front of him.
"Wait, my superpower requires precise control of the brain, and it works better when I'm awake. I'll go with you." Edward is a man of insight.
So just like that, he was kidnapped by a group of people who aimed to bring down the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical Company and built several supernatural arrays for them. When it came to the last three hours of the deadline given by Ms. Lu, he was dragged to the ambush site of the group.
"I won't calculate the wrong value intentionally. Haven't the psychics over there tested my psychic array? Why do you want to bring someone like me who has non-combat psychic abilities... over here..."
Edward's protest was silenced by the opponent's long knife. He covered his neck with his hand, aimed at the blade that was only a finger away from his neck, and whispered: "Can you put it further away? I'm scared."
The person next to him ignored Edward's request and hushed him. Edward followed the man's gaze and saw Ms. Lu walking towards him from a distance. She was walking towards the first supernatural array. It was a detonating power array. Once you stepped on it, all the subsequent power arrays with other functions would be activated.
These supernatural arrays were the result of Edward's painstaking efforts. He used his own supernatural powers and spent three full days calculating to make them so perfect.
Seeing that Ms. Lu seemed to have noticed nothing and was walking at a steady pace, getting closer and closer to the supernatural array, Edward almost forgot to breathe.
Could it be that his message had not spread out, and Ms. Lu really didn't know that there was an ambush here?
One step, two steps, three steps... step on it!
When Ms. Lu stepped into their expected location, the psychics who were lying in ambush all around jumped out and attacked Ms. Lu in unison.
Those people used their respective superpowers, and the scene was flashing with lights caused by various superpowers. Combined with the superpower array, Ms. Lu was injured - in Edward's expectation, the scene should have been like this.
However, nothing happened.
The supernatural power array was not activated, and the supernatural users who were supposed to use their supernatural powers fell to the ground like duds, without making a sound. By the time Edward regained his breath, only Ms. Lu was left standing on the ground.
What's going on? Edward stared in horror. For a few moments, he couldn't feel his own abilities.
He watched as Ms. Lu defeated all the people who attacked her as easily as drinking water, and then walked towards him. Edward subconsciously wanted to escape, but when he moved, he found that his legs were completely weak.
He sat on the ground without any image, watching Ms. Lu walk towards him step by step.
Ms. Lu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Are you trying to hurt me too?"
"No, no, no, no," Edward waved his hands frantically, "I was forced. They forced me to do it. I didn't want to..."
Seeing Ms. Lu raised her leg, Edward almost hugged her. While he was trying desperately to explain, Ms. Lu's leg fell and passed him by.
She didn't say a word, but Edward was relieved. His shoulders relaxed, and he looked up to the sky and sighed as he looked at his colleagues who were lying on the ground screaming.
I wonder if his leader is going to make things difficult for him again? It’s his job!
-
“Hahahahahaha!”
The man sitting opposite Edward laughed and pounded the table, making the glass on the table tremble.
"Don't laugh," Edward said with an unmoved expression, "If you laugh again, I won't rent the house to you next time."
After he said that, the person on the other side calmed down. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and made up an excuse without thinking: "I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I just remembered something happy."
"Kevin, do you take me for a fool?" Edward yelled.
The man with gray hair and dark eyes suppressed his laughter and shook his head. He clenched his right fist and put it to his mouth, coughed twice, and said with a fluttering face: "You said this so that I can give you some advice. Do you want to consider finding a new employer?"
Edward sighed sadly: "Yes, you are the best person I know who can handle this kind of thing."
Kevin pretended to think for a while before answering Edward: "I don't think so. From your description, your new leader is a very confident person. She won't care about a small person like you."
"Who knows, she might forget about you after a weekend." Calvin patted Edward's shoulder earnestly.
The corners of Edward's mouth twitched twice, but he had to admit that what Kevin said made sense.
After all, that day, Ms. Lu didn't seem to recognize that he was the person who picked her up at the train station.
Edward thought of what happened that day and couldn't help but sigh again.
His previous estimate was still conservative. Ms. Lu was definitely a high-level psychic.
"So what do you think the new leader means? Why did he suddenly change the development direction?" Edward asked.
This time, Calvin thought for a longer time. After a while, he tentatively said, "You said you thought she wanted the company to develop in a better direction. Maybe she has reasons that you haven't discovered, such as the previous goals were too difficult for you and you couldn't complete them."
After hearing this, Edward carefully recalled all the scenes related to Ms. Lu, trying to dig out details that he had never noticed.
He recalled the battle that day. That group of people represented at least one-third of the company's battle force, and none of them lasted more than three minutes in front of Ms. Lu. Many of them have special abilities suitable for combat. Ms. Lu was able to knock them down so easily, so ninety-nine percent of them are high-level special abilities users.
To be honest, before that day, Edward had never known that high-level psychics were so terrifying. They were like monsters completely different from humans.
Edward recalled the information he knew, that there was more than one high-level psychic behind the production of the Eternal Flower Pharmaceutical. The company’s previous activities at the Purvi border had already attracted the attention of Everlasting Flower Pharmaceuticals.
So that's it, so that's how it is. Edward's eyes lit up and his brain worked rapidly.
There are only a handful of high-level psychics in this world, and most people in the company, including him, only knew about them on paper. They thought that high-level psychics were the same as mid-level and low-level psychics, and could be defeated as long as there were enough people.
Only when they actually encountered each other did they realize that their strength was nothing compared to that of high-level psychics. I guess Ms. Lu saw this and urgently stopped their activities.
No longer investigating the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical does not mean that Ms. Lu does not want to bring it down, it just means that Ms. Lu believes that they do not have the ability to do it now.
Wait, there are some logical inconsistencies.
The company was established to investigate the pharmaceutical production of Eternal Flower. If it were not for this purpose, many people in the company would have lost the meaning of their existence. But Ms. Lu has not expressed any intention to lay off employees. Is she really so kind as to let these people eat for free?
Edward covered his mouth, feeling that he had discovered a blind spot.
It seems that Ms. Lu's words did not mean for them to really give up, but for them to not reveal their intention to investigate the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical before they have sufficient strength.
It’s correct, all correct! Edward slammed the table, fully understanding everything.
"Thanks, brother," Edward said generously, waving his hand, "You don't have to pay me rent next month."
-
Ren Xiaoyue clutched the report in her hand, trying to hold back, but finally couldn't.
"Not a single one has resigned?" Ren Xiaoyue asked.
Qian Meng, who was sitting opposite Ren Xiaoyue and wearing a beautiful long dress, said proudly: "Yes, they all understood what you meant and decided to continue to follow the path you planned for us."
What do I mean? A planned road?
If you understand what she means, you won’t choose to stay. Isn’t what she meant literally?
She doesn't bother to care about those who want to continue to seek death and investigate the production of the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical. As for those who are willing to stay still and no longer investigate the production of the Everlasting Flower Pharmaceutical, Qian Meng will continue to support them.
Looking at Qian Meng's puppy-like expression of seeking credit, Ren Xiaoyue once again thought about how rich the imagination of this group of people is. Ren Xiaoyue put down the documents in her hand and looked at Qian Meng silently, wanting her to explain what "she meant". This time, Qian Meng could not receive her signal again.
Forget it, she doesn’t have to get to the bottom of it. As long as she shows the right attitude and can deal with the readers, that’s enough.
Ren Xiaoyue stood up and left Qian Meng's office. Before leaving, she casually said "Well done".
Behind her, Qian Meng covered her chest, looking like she was about to faint.
Oh my god, Sister Lu praised her for doing a good job!
"...So you didn't even have the chance to say a few more words to her before she left?" Su Jin asked at the party the next afternoon.
Su Jin was sitting in a garden full of sunflowers with Su Su, Qian Meng and Molly. The parasols shield the mild sun from the sun. They sat around a round table with different drinks in front of them. In the center of the round table there is a three-layer dessert tray with different desserts on it.
This is not the first time they have gathered here. Since the company was founded, they have often sat here, exchanged ideas with each other, and observed the company's development from another perspective.
Qian Meng held the silver tea spoon, stirred the black tea in front of her, and smiled happily: "Sister Lu has always been very busy. It's great that she can stay for so long this time."
Was it really because you were so dazzled by her compliment that you didn't notice she left? Su Jin thought about it and didn't say it out loud.
Su Jin could guess with her eyes closed what would happen after she said it. Qian Meng would refute her, and as long as she didn't say anything bad about Xiao Yue herself, Su Su would stand by her without hesitation. In this situation, Molly will stand on Qian Meng's side.
Every time they have a disagreement, it basically develops like this.
Just as he was thinking about it, Molly, who was sitting on Qian Meng's left, nodded and agreed: "Since we have chosen to be her helper, we should not trouble her too much."
As she spoke, Molly frowned unhappily: "If it weren't for Miss Lu's reminder, I wouldn't have thought that we were already on the verge of a dead end."
Su Jin agreed with this statement.
Who would have thought that most people in the company did not correctly understand the dangers of high-level psychics? Now that I think about it, the exploration operation in Purvi accidentally turned into an eradication operation, and this might have been the reason.
"I didn't expect that Miss Lu, who had never been back, could see the essence of the matter at a glance," Su Jin said, slightly lost in memories, "She is worthy of it."
After hearing this, Su Su, who was sitting next to him obediently, pursed her lips with a complicated expression: "It's also my fault that things turned out like this. With my special ability, I should have discovered this problem long ago."
Qian Meng put the teaspoon aside and shook his head, "Don't say that. We all know your situation. You can't use your supernatural powers too much. And haven't you helped us screen out many spies?"
"You're already great." Su Jin also agreed with Qian Meng, and she touched Su Su's head.
Su Su, who was touched by her sister, successfully recharged. She sat up straight and smiled shyly: "I will work harder in the future."
Then they moved on to other topics. Speaking of Kevin, who had never joined the company, this time he helped a lot in inspiring employees; talking about the employee named Jack who was conquered by Ren Xiaoyue's force and vowed to obey Ren Xiaoyue's instructions; talking about Edward from the Finance Department who was deeply involved in Jack's ambush but still looked like he went with the flow.
After they had finished discussing the company's internal affairs, they started talking about external issues. I heard that a group of people recently fell in Andimoya, a place where supernatural materials are produced, and the reason seems to be illegal drug trafficking. Recently, two nobles got married, and the woman's name was Catherine.
At the end of the conversation, the topic unconsciously turned back to Ren Xiaoyue.
"I wonder what Sister Lu is doing now?" Qian Meng drank the last sip of tea and looked into the distance.
