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

Opal suddenly looked up, and a beam of light burst forth from his body.

A bright line suddenly appeared between the two, and then, in the light, a magnificent scale was outlined.

Opal raised his arm slightly and threw the cornerstone in his hand, which landed on one side of the scale.

"Let me see how much your own worth can shake this foundation?"

A look of curiosity appeared on his childlike face.

"Can it transform abstract values?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

"It is said that the memory of each destiny traveler is endowed with the corresponding characteristics of imaginary energy. Does that mean that someone in the company really possesses authority related to [wealth] and [value]?"

As he was pondering this, a light suddenly appeared on the other side of the scale, where Lin Yuan was located.

The weighing has begun.

As Opper had predicted, the balance quickly began to tip off, steadily falling to one side.

But upon hearing this result, the boy's face showed extreme surprise for the second time.

On the scale, the side representing Lin Yuan sank to the bottom without any doubt, while the pacifier-like base rose into the air as if weightless.

Opal subconsciously raised her hand, but then slowly lowered it.

"Is this broken scale?"

He muttered something under his breath.

Soon, the scales slowly dissipated, and the nipple-shaped base stone transformed into a stream of light and returned to Opal's hand, which he then put into his mouth.

The room fell silent.

Looking at Opal who remained silent, Lin Yuan smiled, a quiet light shining in his eyes.

"I think this should be enough to prove my choice."

Seeing that the other party still did not respond, Lin Yuan figured it was lunchtime, so he said goodbye.

Opal nodded slightly.

Shortly after Lin Yuan left, laughter suddenly broke out in the private room.

"Interesting... Looking forward to meeting you again, haha..."

The laughter first changed from a young man to a teenager, and finally from a teenager back to a child.

"Lord Opal..."

A man in sunglasses, who had been standing some distance away, cautiously approached.

Having witnessed the entire process, he felt a surge of turbulent emotions coursing through his heart. As the other party's subordinate, he knew better than anyone else the true weight of that small cornerstone.

Upon hearing his voice, Opal stopped laughing.

He took the dazzling foundation stone from his mouth, tapped the table with his hand, and his childish voice, tinged with a hint of authority and dissatisfaction, rang out:

Why hasn't my kids' meal arrived yet?

Chapter 170 Opportunities Must Be Seeked

"What, which important person is looking for you?"

"Opper from the Strategic Investment Department."

"Wow, you're really popular."

Hearing this answer, Ai Bai was slightly surprised.

"Ha, what's there to welcome... Doing this puts a lot of pressure on me too, you know."

Lin Yuan tasted the oddly shaped food in front of him and found the taste quite peculiar. He then wiped his mouth with a silk napkin.

After returning to the observation deck and having a brief chat with Ai Bai, Lin Yuan finally had his first meal since arriving at headquarters.

Although this meal was a bit too business-like.

The flavors that Ai Bai chose were all quite to his liking, but after finishing the last dish, Lin Yuan still felt a sense of hunger.

Perhaps this feeling of hunger did not stem from a lack of food, but rather from Lin Yuan's psychological state after experiencing today's events.

In a short period of time, he accepted the advances of two high-ranking officials at the P45 level or above.

One speaks of power and opportunity, the other of strength and value.

But the only thing they had in common was that they all looked down on Lin Yuan from a higher position, a kind of "giving" from the top down.

Every gift of fate comes with a price already marked in secret.

What Lin Yuan wanted most was independence and autonomy.

And perhaps it won't be long before I can take his place.

Seeing that Lin Yuan seemed a little absent-minded, Ai Bai knew that he had been exposed to too much information throughout the day.

"That's enough, shall we go back and rest?"

"Okay, then take me back to the airport."

"Why go to the airport? You're already a P40, the company will definitely provide you with housing."

Seeing the astonishment Lin Yuan showed, which she had expected, Ai Bai smiled radiantly.

"How come I didn't know?"

"Let's see if your field information is good..."

Once you arrive at headquarters, make it a habit that important notices and benefits will be sent to you via SMS; it would be a shame to miss them.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was about to check when Ai Bai had already stood up and waved.

"We'll see on the way. Since it's still early, let's go for a walk to digest your food."

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

"This is the residential area for our senior employees in the Market Development Department. Outsiders call this place Wanxiang Mountain."

A warm sun hangs in the sky, illuminating the vast, undulating land below.

Through the windows of the flying car, Lin Yuan could see all sorts of buildings and beautiful scenery appearing in various places.

"It's right there."

After verifying the field number, Lin Yuan pointed in a direction.

A moment later, the flying car slowly landed in a wide, empty open space, and a detached, white, two-story house with a high-tech feel appeared in front of it.

"This is the housing the company provides for P40 employees? It's so desolate..."

"What are you thinking about?" Ai Bai squinted and glanced at him.

"This is the design studio. You've played simulation games, right? You can design your own territory here."

If you find that troublesome, you can just use a template. The department's engineering team will get it done for you within a day.

Ai Bai took two steps forward and climbed up a slope.

"Here, this is the land you were allocated."

Lin Yuan followed and looked down, and saw a vast basin that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"This...this is all my land?"

"To be precise, the land belongs to the company; you only have the right to use it now."

"I hope the property rights will still be for 70 years."

Lin Yuan muttered a couple of things, but he was extremely excited inside.

"I never imagined that I would one day be a landlord again?"

"I have a feeling that what you said is a bit dangerous."

Ai Bai seemed to sense a force from beyond the heavens and cast a suspicious glance at him.

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

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Yuan had spent a week in Pierpoint.

During that week, he helped his team members complete their identity procedures and spent several days taking them to explore the nearby city center and famous attractions.

After witnessing a dazzling array of new things and experiencing unprecedented novelties, Lin Yuan's restless mind gradually calmed down.

Soon, the land planning he designed himself was also completed.

With the construction of the creation generator by the engineering team sent by the Development Department, the entire construction time was not even as long as the design time by Lin Yuan.

However, when the design he had imagined was actually presented before his eyes, Lin Yuan's heart still couldn't help but flutter.

After the construction team left, Lin Yuan moved in and built separate houses for each team member.

During that week, he received offers of recruitment from several other directors in the market development department, either directly or indirectly.

However, it's still the same as before.

Soon, the entire department's senior management tacitly stopped inviting him.

Lin Yuan knew that he was being targeted and isolated.

Compared to other newcomers to headquarters, they always choose a powerful patron to continue their upward climb and become part of the existing system.

Lin Yuan, an outsider who doesn't associate with others, is the real outlier.

Regarding outsiders who could threaten the department's existing resources, the existing upper management has reached an implicit consensus.

After failing to win Lin Yuan over, they temporarily excluded him from the department's core business.

This lockdown could impact the career of any employee.

Without access to high-quality projects, you can't complete business; without completing business, you can't build a resume for advancement.

In the market development department, it's like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind.
