I've been planning to craft a new...[]
I've been planning to craft a new piece of jewelry. Wanna hear the story behind it?
Wait, you added me as a friend?
Wait, you added me as a friend?
In case you forgot, our paths crossed quite a bit on the Radiant Feldspar
Sure, but you gotta reward me for it!
Sure, but you gotta reward me for it!
Absolutely! I promise it'll be worth your time
I don't know a thing about jewelry
I don't know a thing about jewelry...
No worries, just think of it as a casual chat
I came into possession of a round blue natural crystal full of cleansing energy. Any guesses where it's from?
A jewelry store
A jewelry store? But what made you pick that one?
I have a feeling it's not that simple
Yes, if you only consider its appearance, it's certainly not top-grade
If this blue crystal had been on a regular store shelf, I wouldn't have given it a second glance, much less bought it
A wealthy merchant's treasure vault
A wealthy merchant's treasure vault? It must be collateral in the Bonajade Exchange
But I get the feeling there's more to it than that
Hmm, the Bonajade Exchange does have a plethora of treasures
If you only consider its appearance, it's certainly not top-grade
Found it by the roadside
Did you stumble upon it by the roadside?
I considered places like jewelry stores or a wealthy merchant's treasure vault, but they all seem too straightforward an answer
Creative, but no
Someday, maybe you'll come to realize that human greed is like a bottomless vortex
Even if they claim a heart free of desires, they might still lose it all in a foolish moment of greed
Just like this blue crystal — it's the condensed form of a pure planet, born from the desires of one in power
This is a planet?
You turned a planet into an accessory? That's kind of terrifying!
It takes two to make a deal. There's no coercion involved
I hope the story didn't scare you too much
It seems like you don't have such desires right now. That's a good thing
If you ever find yourself in need of making a "deal," you're always welcome at the Bonajade Exchange
(Trailblazer), do you know anything...[]
(Trailblazer), do you know anything about "managing up"?
I heard it's a really popular concept among younger professionals
I know all about "managing up"!
I know all about "managing up"!
If work is overwhelming you, reach out to your manager and pass some their way. If it isn't, pass some their way anyway!
That's a unique way to look at it
Heard of it, but it's unrealistic
Mm-hmm. "If work is overwhelming you, reach out to your manager and pass some their way. If it isn't, pass some their way anyway," right?
But I think it's unrealistic. Constantly clashing with your manager is a surefire way to get fired, isn't it
It looks like you have a good understanding of it
The young employees at the IPC have been talking about it, and their views have reached my ears
Sentiments toward "managing up" largely depend on their supervisor's management style
"Director Topaz may be a woman of swift and decisive action, but she listens to advice where she should."
"Director Aventurine has a sharp eye for everything. Putting the initial 'whys' and 'hows' aside, if he says something can be done, then it will get done."
What about Madam Jade's style?
What about Madam Jade's style?
Take a guess?
Can't tell
Can't tell... I've got a feeling that nobody can "managing up" with you
Hmm... Or maybe it's the exact opposite
The world of youths is a vibrant and dynamic one. The new generation inevitably surpasses the old
But before that happens, as one who walks before them, I'll help them become the best versions of themselves
The IPC are all workaholics!
So this is the reason behind the workaholic culture at the IPC
Diligence and fortitude are the keys to growth
Not everyone gets the opportunity to climb higher
The Ten Stonehearts self-improve too?
Do the Ten Stonehearts need to polish themselves too?
Absolutely. Chiselling the Cornerstones is just the beginning
Only by steadily tempering our hearts and building unbreakable walls can we broaden our horizons
From what I've seen, (Trailblazer), you're a rare and unique gem
If you're interested, why not come to the IPC and experience for yourself our uncompromising dedication to polishing oneself?
(Trailblazer), got a minute?[]
(Trailblazer), got a minute?
I'd like to hear your thoughts on "kids"
I don't have kids
I don't have kids, so I might not be the best person to ask
That's okay. We were all once kids anyway, so I'm really interested in hearing your views
Kids? That's me
Kid at your service. Ask away!
That's the spirit! I can't wait to hear your opinion
What do you think will make a child happy?
Food, clothes, and happy family!
Being well-fed, well-clothed, and well-loved by their family — just like how the Crew is!
Sounds like the Crew shares a really close bond. May that happiness stay with you forever
Free from troubles and woes!
Free from troubles and woes!
You're right. A child's world should be innocent and carefree
I don't know
I don't know
Yeah, sometimes happiness is just hard to put into words
I asked Topaz and Aventurine the same question
Their definitions of happiness have changed and now vary from each other's, but on the topic of "what makes a child happy," they share the same view as you
The children in the orphanage would probably wish for the same things too
The children's wishes?
The children's wishes? Anything I can help with?
Thanks for the offer, but I can handle it
You visit orphanages?
You visit orphanages?
Yes, I go there all the time
You seem surprised
I've heard stories about the Exchange
Well... I've heard stories about the Bonajade Exchange
I see... No need to worry. After all, in the case of adults, choices made must be much stricter
The kids have given me unconditional trust, and I'll reciprocate in kind with all my heart
In any case, it's about time I head off
