Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

"The opportunity you're referring to, is it a group of envoys like the Stoneheart Ten, or... merely a role for the department to handle various military duties?"

Lin Yuan made it very clear whether the person in front of him was offering a path to advancement, or... looking for a useful tool?

"...What's the difference?"

Nightingale narrowed her eyes.

"Of course, Mr. Director. As you said, the Market Development Department currently lacks such a positioning."

Therefore, I hope to gain greater freedom so that I can better create more value for the department and the company.

A brief silence.

"young people......"

Nightingale's voice was slightly low.

"The word 'youth' originally refers to your vigorous fighting spirit and energy. But youth... is not an advantage for those in high positions."

This indicates a lack of knowledge, vision, experience, and awareness of resources and opportunities.

Nightingale's voice rose slightly.

Do you know how long it would take to reach my position by accumulating merits along the normal path?

A cold laugh crept into his voice.

"Decades? Hundreds of years? What you're taking up are the positions of the great people who can enjoy long lives and resources."

To advance further, you need to continuously complete tasks, create value, and prove that your value is greater than theirs.

And this is the best-case scenario. For those who cannot maintain the project's success, there's no place for them in management. Can you understand that?

“Of course, Mr. Nightingale.” Lin Yuan nodded.

"In that case, I think you will make the best choice."

"Yes, I think I will make the best choice."

Lin Yuan stared at the other person for a moment.

"That's settled then, the opportunity won't last long."

After Nightingale finished speaking, she turned around, and the tall, thin man behind her spread his hands in a gesture to see her out.

A moment later, the door closed, and the outside world was cut off once again.

"Sir, what do you think...?"

"Young man, you are still too short-sighted."

Nightingale shook her head.

"Perhaps he will realize how precious this opportunity is after he experiences the resources and power that come with status in Pierpoint."

But time waits for no one, haha... If he doesn't do it, there are plenty of others who will. The company has no shortage of talent.

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

"Old man, you're still too narrow-minded."

After leaving the office floor, Lin Yuan and Ai Bai returned to the helipad on the public floor.

"Do you think power can control and monopolize everything? What I rely on has never been relationships or connections, but the real power I hold in my hands."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As they boarded the flying car, Ai Bai, seeing that Lin Yuan's expression wasn't good, asked him with concern.

"What happened? Did the meeting with the security affairs director not go well?"

"Ha, after listening to PUA and empty promises for so long, it's still the same old story in the end. First, you get a piece of meat, then you get a beating. Want to get ahead? You have to work first, be a dog for these big shots."

Lin Yuan rubbed his temples.

"Sigh, that's how it is." Ai Bai sighed as well.

"As far as I know, most of the talents promoted by the Sunrise Project have been won over by the directors."

In this way, they have men to rely on, and their positions are not threatened. We youngsters can't compete with that!

Even if you can't beat them, you still have to give it a try.

Lin Yuan said calmly.

Knowing the plot developments well, how could he not know where there are opportunities for promotion and a raise?

"Cheng, Brother Lin, it has to be you!"

Ai Bai gave a thumbs up.

"Don't look so sad. I haven't properly thanked you for what happened to Tver yet. Come on, let's go to the most luxurious Interstellar Peace Hotel in the nearby city center for a meal. I've already made a reservation."

"Alright, then I'll gladly accept your offer."

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

Ah, such condescending power is like fleeting clouds to him, not even worth as much as a meal.

...........

The flying car sped off into the distance and soon arrived at the nearest central city.

As the junctions between various departments and regions, these central cities are the most prosperous areas in Pierpoint.

At this moment, in a panoramic private room high above the clouds at the Interstellar Peace Hotel, only a childlike figure sat at the large dining table.

He sat on a raised stool, wearing a top hat adorned with precious gems.

Beneath her multicolored hair was a face that looked utterly bored.

He put the pacifier-shaped gem into his mouth, and it shimmered with unparalleled brilliance.

Suddenly, a short message appeared before his eyes.

The childlike figure slightly raised its head, revealing an expression of great interest.

"What a coincidence? Let me see... what is your worth, that you deserve such high praise from Toppa?"

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

Chapter 168 Opal

The Interstellar Peace Hotel, an iconic building located in the heart of the eastern city center, has a history that dates back to the company's founding.

If Pier Point amassed countless riches, then the Interstellar Peace Hotel similarly gathered the world's finest delicacies.

Countless VIPs and celebrities have left their mark on the hotel's magnificent lobby walls, and gourmets from all over the world have always considered exploring this restaurant a lifelong pursuit.

Having credits isn't enough to dine here.

Only those who reach a certain level within the company, or who are recommended by multiple members, can obtain the corresponding entry qualifications.

Therefore, power is also partially manifested here.

The flying car slowly landed on the sky island of the Interstellar Peace Hotel, and Lin Yuan and his companion stepped out of the car.

"Come on, let's give you a taste of the benefits this time, and let you enjoy the perks of an executive."

Ai Bai waved and put on a lady's hat.

Her smooth bangs fell to one side, complementing her haute couture attire and giving her an air of nobility compared to her usual refined style.

"Do I need to wear it too?"

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment upon seeing this.

"Suit yourself. Why should a man be so refined? With your outfit and rank, people will just think you're my subordinate."

A sly smile appeared on Ai Bai's lips, but her gaze suddenly froze as she glanced around.

"Lin Yuan, when did you get promoted to P40?"

"Just now."

At this moment, the field information above Lin Yuan's head was updated, and the golden P40 logo shone brightly.

The two slowly walked towards the hotel entrance. As they approached, they saw a group of tourists livestreaming to a camera.

"Family members, it's said that Pierpoint has a rule: once you enter the Interstellar Peace Hotel, no matter how much trouble you cause, neither the legitimate nor the underworld dares to touch you. Because their boss..."

The conversation abruptly ended, and a pop-up window suddenly appeared on the screen in front of the podcasters.

[Attention! Lin Yuan, P40 from the Market Development Department, is passing by you. He has already achieved the milestone of killing 10 Fate Walkers this year. Please be careful to avoid him and make sure your medical insurance balance is sufficient.]

The bloggers who were live streaming turned pale instantly. Ignoring the urging comments in the live stream, they took off running away.

On the road not far away, Ai Bai looked at Lin Yuan with a strange expression.

Didn't you say you wanted to keep a low profile?

"I wanted to keep a low profile when I was at P39, but now I'm at P40."

Lin Yuan simply shrugged.

"Alright, it's just a test. I'll shut it down later. Let's go."

"Brother, you go first."

Ai Bai paused, taking a half-step back.

Although this pop-up notification can be customized, its content must comply with the company's big data records for verification, meaning...

Thinking of this, Ai Bai's gaze towards Lin Yuan changed somewhat.

Welcome!

Ascending dozens of white jade steps, the two entered the magnificent hall.
