Sunday was also stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he still retorted,
“As far as I know, the members of the Astral Express are not unemployed...”
Sunday thought for a moment, then continued,
“Hmm… at most, their working hours are a bit irregular… I want to try…”
Finally, he seemed to have thought of something again, looking at Jiang Lin with some hope:
“Since you even know this, you must have a very deep understanding of my philosophy. So, do you agree with it?”
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, and said calmly,
“Hmm, it’s quite good. I don’t want to make too many comments, because it has nothing to do with me. My goal has always been only one, and the Taiyi Dream cannot fulfill my ideal.”
Sunday frowned slightly, then said helplessly,
“It seems my chances of persuading you are slim. In that case, please abide by our agreement. Later, I will send someone to deliver the envoy's keystone and gift money to your room.”
Jiang Lin nodded, then thought for a moment, looking at Sunday and saying,
“Besides that, how about we make a private deal?”
Sunday’s slightly relaxed mind instantly tensed up again.
“I am very willing to cooperate with you, but before cooperating, I want to know whether your desired partner is ‘me’ or… ‘us’?”
Jiang Lin placed his hand on the water glass next to him, gently rotated it once, and said indifferently,
“That depends on you. I only care about the outcome; I don’t care about anything else.”
Sunday hesitated for a moment, he felt that Jiang Lin’s words had a hidden meaning, and then he directly cut off contact with someone… “I’d like to hear the details.”
Jiang Lin nodded, his tone a little excited:
“I am very interested in the incarnation of harmony. If you ultimately fail… I want you to assist me in controlling it at the last moment.”
Sunday frowned tightly, looking at Jiang Lin, who was obviously a little different from just now:
“Although I don’t know why you are so certain that we will fail, that’s not important. I want to know what kind of bargaining chip you can offer.”
Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said,
“If you fail, have you ever thought about your sister Robin? What will happen to her? Someone will definitely harbor ill intentions towards her, and I can guarantee her safety.
Of course, the premise of this deal is that you will indeed fail.”
Sunday stared intently at Jiang Lin, an inexplicable cold light flickering in his eyes, and his tone was no longer as calm as before:
“Even if it costs something to verify whether your strength matches your promise, I must ask you for some proof at this moment.”
“For Robin? Alright, is this enough?”
Jiang Lin immediately started with a zero-frame motion. A longbow instantly formed in his hand, and an arrow quickly condensed.
The target was directly Sunday.
Sunday’s hair stood on end, and his pupils dilated. He could clearly feel that something was locking onto him from the depths of the unknown.
A chill also surged from the bottom of his heart—the shadow named death.
But what surprised him most was that longbow.
Facing it, Sunday felt that all the trump cards he had prepared for special circumstances would be completely useless.
Sunday’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said with a slightly trembling voice,
“This is truly surprising… Mr. Jiang Lin, I am willing to apologize for doubting your actions just now.
And I am willing to reach this cooperation with you in my personal capacity.”
Jiang Lin smiled slightly and put away the longbow: “It’s fine as long as we’ve settled it. I dislike using force the most. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back first.”
Sunday’s mouth twitched, but he still tried to keep his tone calm:
“Take care, I won’t see you out.”
——
Not long after Jiang Lin left, in a corridor, a company employee brushed past him.
The company employee walked a few steps forward, paused for a few seconds, then seemed to realize something.
He quickly turned back and shouted at Jiang Lin’s retreating figure:
“You… you are Mr. Jiang Lin, right? You must be Mr. Jiang Lin, right? I… I actually met you?”
Jiang Lin was also slightly stunned. Had his little trick to hide his appearance failed?
After his appearance was exposed in the live broadcast, in order to prevent his actions from causing too much trouble, he used some small tricks to make people psychologically and mentally unable to recognize his face.
Although it might be useless for some powerful individuals or elites, how could a small company employee recognize him?
“This is great, this is great! Director Topaz said that finding you would get a triple year-end bonus, and bringing you back would get a five-time year-end bonus plus half a year of paid leave.
I am indeed the Child of Destiny. Please, you must come back with me, otherwise I will really have to kneel and beg you.”
Jiang Lin: ???
What was this? Had his trick been defeated by the persistence of a working-class person?
Jiang Lin sighed, and said somewhat helplessly,
“You really don’t have to do this.”
But the company employee was very stubborn:
“A man’s knees are worth gold; now is the time to cash it in.”
As he spoke, he bent his legs, about to kneel, but fortunately, Jiang Lin was quick and pulled him up.
Jiang Lin was a little speechless and casually asked, “Who taught you all this?”
The company employee thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly,
“No one specifically taught me; I just learned a few tricks from a senior named Scott.”
Jiang Lin: 6, then there’s no problem, that’s normal.
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then looked at the employee and said,
“I can meet your director, whatever her title is, but I’m not free right now. So I’ll choose the time and place myself, and she needs to agree to one additional condition.
You can report it right here, right now. If she agrees, just ask her to wait for my message.”
The employee nodded excitedly and immediately began to report.
The efficiency was very fast; in about two minutes, Jiang Lin received an affirmative reply.
And Topaz immediately began preparations.
As for why Topaz agreed so readily to a condition?
It’s simple: the benefits were sufficient.
After all, if they met, there would be a chance to talk; if they didn’t, there would be no chance at all.
Ever since the company received the latest news from the Xianzhou Alliance, not a single high-level executive in the company underestimated the profits that could be brought in by this.
After all, imagine if the copyright and formula for the revival pill were in the company’s hands; they would have a hundred ways to extract profit from the Xianzhou Alliance.
After Jiang Lin got rid of the company employee, he directly returned to his room.
Looking at the luxurious dream pool in front of him, Jiang Lin suddenly became cautious… So… Jiang Lin dismantled it and reassembled it… Hmm, it still worked… Meanwhile, Dream Master found Sunday.
