Fu Ruhai and Liu Sandao had been very busy these past two days, so busy that Fu Ruhai had even forgotten about Fang Huiran taking the lucky fruits.
After all, Liu Sandao's lucky fruit system was about to be officially launched.
The leader had specifically instructed him to prepare thoroughly, as there would be important guests from above.
The requirement was to make it widely known.
This made Fu Ruhai tremble with apprehension.
From the very beginning of the launch event preparations, he had meticulously studied every detail.
How the leaders would enter, how the seating arrangements for the various leaders would be made...
All of this was a test, even more crucial than the launch of the lucky fruit system itself.
In the past, he had never been enthusiastic about such matters, thinking them unnecessary.
But things were different now.
Especially this launch event, which he was personally leading for the first time in millennia, was a validation and a blueprint for his position as the God of Fortune.
If this launch event could be handled well, it would not only increase the exposure of the lucky fruit system but also gain the support of deities from all walks of life.
Initially, he had intended to entrust this responsibility to Liu Sandao, but Liu Sandao's personality was not suitable, and more importantly:
He was not a celestial deity of the Heavenly Court, and the launch of this system required the approval of the Heavenly Court.
Therefore, everything had to be handled by himself.
And these days, Liu Sandao had not been idle.
While Fu Ruhai was responsible for liaising with the Heavenly Court, Liu Sandao was busy testing the system's smoothness and stability.
The deities from all walks of life were looking forward to something new: the first launch of the lucky fruit system.
If the first launch failed, it would be a major disaster.
Not only would the company be disbanded, but even Fu Ruhai would...
The launch event was scheduled for ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
The venue was the top floor of Yaotian Building, where he and Fu Ruhai had their offices. He had already cast spells to transform it into a neat and orderly working environment.
All the service staff for the launch event were to be coordinated and arranged by Zhao Qiansun.
Since the attendees were important figures from the celestial realm, it was only appropriate for the service staff to be celestial maidens from the Heavenly Court.
Everything was arranged by midnight.
Fu Ruhai had never worked such long hours before.
Anyone who said that organizing and leading was easy would have to argue with him.
After finishing their work, the two of them slept in the office at Yaotian Building.
The night passed without incident.
Early the next morning, the main entrance of Yaotian Building was adorned with fluttering banners, bustling with activity.
A team of meticulously uniformed hostesses stood at the entrance, seemingly ready to welcome distinguished guests.
A security team of about twenty men was also present, each standing tall and looking sharp.
Originally, there were supposed to be slogans, but Zhao Qiansun had given instructions to refrain from hanging them.
A bright red carpet extended from the elevator entrance all the way to the steps.
It had been purchased the day before, brand new.
At nine o'clock, the attendees began to arrive.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai had already been waiting at the entrance for some time.
Seven or eight luxury VIP cars pulled up one after another at the entrance of the office building.
The scene was magnificent!
It drew the attention of other people heading to work, who stopped to watch.
Bai Suxiang was blocked at the entrance of the office building on her way to work.
Many people were watching, wondering who these important officials were. Su Dan Novel Network.
Apart from Zhao Qiansun of Xiahua Bank, whom some recognized, the rest were unknown.
But seeing how Zhao Qiansun greeted them with nods and smiles, their status was likely not low.
The elevator that went directly to the top floor of the building was off-limits to everyone else today.
Normally, she wouldn't need to transfer elevators, but today Bai Suxiang had to.
Just as the group entered the elevator, she saw Liu Sandao get in last.
She knew they worked in this building but didn't know their specific roles or ranks.
She found it a bit amusing; after all, they hadn't graduated yet.
Technically, they were still classmates, yet their status felt so awkward?
However, this thought only flickered for a moment before disappearing.
The elevator smoothly arrived at the 118th floor.
As the elevator doors opened, eight celestial maidens greeted them.
They were far more beautiful than the hostesses downstairs.
Setting aside their graceful figures, their faces were exceptionally beautiful.
Their eyes held the water of spring, their faces like jade, making all the beauties in the six palaces appear colorless.
Seeing them, Liu Sandao suddenly understood Zhao Qiansun's arrangement.
As soon as they exited the elevator, Zhao Qiansun asked Fu Ruhai to lead the way, while he himself greeted a man around fifty years old standing beside him.
The man had dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes.
He had a gentle smile on his face, appearing particularly humble.
The important leader Fu Ruhai had mentioned must be this man.
Liu Sandao had discreetly inquired about his title:
Jia Sidao, Vice President of Xiahua Bank, with no other information available.
Fu Ruhai knew his celestial title, but Zhao Qiansun had instructed him not to reveal it for the time being.
The other accompanying personnel were other department managers from Xiahua Bank, and other deities working in various companies in the mortal realm.
In addition to these, Fu Ruhai had also asked Zhao the God of Wealth to bring a few people to support the event.
Therefore, everyone standing on the main stage was brought by Zhao Qiansun; those below were invited by Fu Ruhai and Zhao the God of Wealth.
However, among this group, Fu Ruhai spotted Na Qianlai.
But given the current situation, it was best not to cause a conflict.
After the attendees were seated, Fu Ruhai, following the established procedure, took charge of hosting the launch event.
He first introduced himself and then thanked the esteemed leaders for their presence.
After a brief introduction to the launch event, he invited the leaders to speak.
These were all confirmed with Zhao Qiansun multiple times.
However, Jia Sidao, the Vice President of Xiahua Bank, changed his mind at the last moment, and only Zhao Qiansun could speak.
Zhao Qiansun was accustomed to such occasions, and his presence immediately livened up the atmosphere.
This was a great support for Fu Ruhai.
He was not yet accustomed to such scenes and always felt hesitant in his actions.
When it was time to introduce the lucky fruit publishing system in detail, Liu Sandao took the stage.
He wasted no time and directly explained the release, transmission, task acceptance, and subsequent settlement issues of the lucky fruit system.
Originally, everything was calm and uneventful; if there was anything, it was merely festive.
This made everyone feel respected.
However, Na Qianlai asked a question that caused considerable embarrassment.
Just as Liu Sandao mentioned using money for settlement, Na Qianlai asked, "Since it's for settlement, can't we just use lucky fruits directly?"
While this was theoretically feasible, it had not been considered in the initial design of how to settle specifically with lucky fruits.
Because lucky fruits belonged to individuals, and whether they were effective for deities was unknown.
"This, we will make adjustments as needed during actual operation."
Liu Sandao gave a vague answer.
He intended to get through this moment and deal with subsequent issues later.
Na Qianlai, however, was relentless. "If it works, it works. If not, I reckon your system is rather pointless!"
His words caused the deities present to start whispering among themselves.
"Exactly, exactly. Deities also earn money; this is undignified."
"Using lucky fruits is of little use. They are for mortals; what use do we deities have for them?"
...
Fu Ruhai glared at Na Qianlai, his teeth itching with rage.
This fellow was deliberately trying to cause trouble. He couldn't help but glance at Zhao the God of Wealth.
However, Zhao the God of Wealth deliberately avoided eye contact.
