Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 162 Roundtable Conference

On the plains, Toppa connected to the video conference.

"...In conclusion, Topa, in recognition of your outstanding performance in this operation, the department will award you the following:"

"Your job level will be upgraded from P45 to P46, with a corresponding adjustment to your base salary; your bonuses will be doubled, and all reward programs you participate in, including stock options and performance bonuses, will be doubled."

"However, regarding this matter, you need to submit an additional report to the 'Diamond' manager, detailing the process of the task, especially concerning the new director, Eve."

"If you have any objections to the job change or the reward, you can also submit an appeal in writing."

“I have no objection,” Topa said excitedly.

I never expected that coming to Yalilo would be such a great deal!

"Received. So... is there anyone else who wants to say something?"

...........

"Since no one has anything to say, let's adjourn the meeting."

Toppa was about to hang up when another magnetic voice sounded in his ear:

"Wow, not bad luck! You've landed such a big project and even got a promotion. Looks like the higher-ups think highly of you. Oh, they've all logged off, right? Well then—"

"I'll just turn off this crappy effects pedal."

".......'Gold dust'? I knew it was you. Only you could say something so sour."

Why are you still here?

"What are you saying? Can't I be here? Why are you so dismissive? Aren't I your colleague?"

“Wait… let me correct you, I am your superior now!” Topa corrected and reminded him.

"Oh, right, Superior Toppa. Haha, my apologies, I haven't gotten used to it yet!"

"Hmph? What is it? Just say it."

"Oh, it's nothing, just checking in on you. I told you before, I have high hopes for you, I knew you could make it."

"However, things are going a little too smoothly. Something's not right. Tell me, did you buy it?"

Toppa was speechless for a moment.

"First of all, I was originally just sent here to discuss cooperation."

"Secondly, I'll buy your 'beep beep'—"

"Okay... Is there anything else? I'm hanging up now."

"Hey, don't hang up! You're really not in a chat state. Okay, then tell me something you might be interested in..."

"What?" Topa asked speechlessly.

"While you were discussing cooperation at Yalilo-6, 'Diamond' managed to win over the bigwigs in the building materials logistics department, and that's why they're absent from today's 'roundtable meeting.'"

"Taravan?"

"Yes, the famous Taravan, a member of the seven-member board! Because of the newly appointed director Eve, he's putting his vote on us, understand? We, not the marketing department. This time, Oswald won't be laughing!"

“I see. That explains why the diamond manager didn’t come.” Toppa nodded.

“But… Toppa, you’re really something. If it weren’t for that newly appointed director Eve, the diamond manager wouldn’t have been able to win over Talavan.”

"Hey, aren't you with that new director? I'm also quite curious about Director Eve; I heard she's a dual-commander."

"Two Commanders?" Toppa frowned immediately. "Director Eve is a third Commander?"

"What? The Three Commanders?" Sand Gold fell silent for a moment. "But, the Diamond Supervisor..."

At this point, Sand Gold fell silent.

The silence made them both understand something at the same time.

This was the diamond manager's scheme.

Therefore, the two of them kept quiet about the matter.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that for now, let's get down to business." Sand Gold coughed twice.

“I’m currently in Pierpoint, dealing with a huge business deal that affects the entire department. I’m missing a reliable project manager – boss, and you’re the perfect fit.”

"Interesting. What case taught you about 'collaboration'?"

Sand Gold curled his lip. "What else could it be? 'Pinocchio,' of course."

"What?" Toppa was taken aback.

“That’s right~ that’s the kind of reaction I like.” Sand Gold laughed.

"Diamonds ultimately chose you? I thought it would be 'Opium'... or 'Dragon Crystal'... That deal required at least someone at P46 or higher to handle it," Topa asked doubtfully.

"That's why I'm here to win you over, Toppa's superior in P46."

"Besides, the people in the 'family' aren't exactly mentally sound. Want to do business with them? I don't think it's a chance."

"But the company's methods are never limited to 'transactions.' This is where people like me come in, right? How about it? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think about it; maybe you can get promoted."

Toppa was speechless for a moment.

Another promotion? That would be to become a prospective director.

That's impossible no matter how you look at it.

This gold dust guy is really something.

Topa sighed and then said, "I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, I look forward to your reply, Boss Toppa."

Topa hung up the phone and strolled across the snowfield.

She stretched and yawned. "This was quite a hassle."

"However, I still made a profit, and I also got along well with the new board members."

Topa blushed slightly at the thought of Eve's stunning face and elegant figure.

The new director is really beautiful; even she couldn't help but be captivated.

No, no, no...

Toppa immediately shook his head, covered his face, and squatted down on the ground.

While trying to distract herself, she noticed the newly sprouted saplings nearby.

"Saplings? I've never seen this variety before, and they're quite pretty."

"Perhaps, Bellenberger really can bring a lot of surprises to the company!"

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Sand Gold.

She then put her phone away, picked up Zhang Zhang beside her, and left Belleburg.

................

Star Train.

"Phew! It's finally over!!"

"I'm going to have a good, good night's sleep in my soft, big bed this time!!"

As soon as he boarded the train, March 7th couldn't wait to shout it out.

I was terrified during my time in Belleburg; I didn't even get a good night's sleep.

“Yes, I need to get some rest too.” Eve smiled and nodded.

Just then, Walter Yang and Himeko walked towards them.

"You're finally back. This journey was truly arduous." Himeko finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing everyone return safely.

"Yes, yes, Himeko, you have no idea how dangerous our time in Belleburg was!"

“Okay, Little March.” Himeko smiled at March 7. “We saw it on the train.”

At this moment, Himeko turned her gaze to Eve.

"But this time it's all thanks to Miss Eve."

Himeko recalled the scene when the antimatter fleet attacked and Fubuki suddenly appeared on the train.

Her heart almost stopped at that moment.

Fortunately, Miss Eve intervened and the matter was resolved.

"It's nothing, I didn't expect the Legion to invade so suddenly either," Eve said with a sigh.

At this moment, Walter Young said, "By the way, Miss Eve, I really didn't expect that you would become an honorary director of the company."

"Ahem, I originally just wanted a P31 position." Eve coughed a few times.

"Huh? Uncle Yang knows about this too?" March 7th asked curiously.

“Of course, the ‘Interstellar Peace Broadcast’ on the train broadcasts the announcement of Miss Eve’s appointment as an honorary director over and over again,” Himeko said with a smile.

Based on her understanding, Miss Eve's appointment as an honorary director was not only related to her status as a custody officer, but also perhaps related to the power struggles among the company's senior management.

However, Eve becoming an honorary director of the company is a very good thing for the train.

The company just doesn't dare to hold them back anymore.

In addition, the mention of company directors reminded Himeko of another person.

An anonymous person whom the anonymous guest can never forgive.

"Oh, I see." March 7th nodded.

"Interstellar Peace Broadcast"—this is always played on the train.

Just then, Pam came running over and grabbed Eve's leg.

"Passenger Eve, you're finally back!"

"Do you know how worried everyone is about you, Papa?!"
