Chapter 1258 Another Line
After receiving Paris's promise and the candy he gave her, Lin Yu left the president's office.
He did not stay in the Building of Truth any longer, nor did he even stay in the outer city.
Lin Yu walked straight towards the outer city.
"We've established a connection with Nevernight Huo Le, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket..."
After all, the nobles of the City That Never Sleeps, especially the royal nobles, are easily influenced by their personal likes and dislikes when making decisions when facing civilians.
Because they have the qualifications and capital to be willful.
Even though Buyetian Huo Le is considered a very rational and motivated royal noble, what if she is in a bad mood just this time and just doesn't want to restart the "Fear" project?
Restarting the "Fear" project is indeed the only promotion opportunity in a lifetime for a B-1 level manager; for President Paris, if successful, it will also be a great achievement that will allow his power and reputation within the Truth Company to soar again.
But for Huo Le of Buyetian... although this matter is important and tempting, it is still something he can choose to do.
Lin Yu would not think that just because his last contact with Buyetian Huo Le went very smoothly, it would be smooth this time as well.
Last time, it was all because Fu Luo had a good foundation, and he directly became the favorite of the head of the Buye Tian family and the confidant of Buye Tian Huo Le. He accepted Fu Luo's identity, and as long as he didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, he could easily gain Buye Tian Huo Le's trust.
But a B-1 level supervisor, John H. Arthur, is different.
Lin Yu must be prepared for both situations.
and so……
Lin Yu’s next destination was naturally Gray Third Street in the outer city of the City That Never Sleeps, the gathering place for mercenaries and criminals, the Magic Pig Bar!
Although this place was almost razed to the ground by Huo Le's team last time, the accident was like a storm - although it was a mess after it passed through, it would not take long for it to become prosperous again.
Today the bar is still bustling, still filled with drunken mercenaries and middlemen.
Of course, there were still some changes left after the incident at the Nevernight Fire Music three months ago.
At least when an upper-class person like Lin Yu, who is dressed in a suit and obviously does not belong to the outer city, appears, there are very few young people who dare to step forward to provoke him or do anything out of line.
Over the past decade or so, because the nobles in the inner city neglected their control over the outer city, or allowed the lower classes in the outer city to govern themselves, many mercenary criminals in the outer city developed an "illusion" - they believed that the outer city was their territory, and even upper-class nobles and powerful figures in large companies had to show them respect when they came to their territory.
But the arrival of Nevernight Huo Le made them realize the reality again - to the upper class, they were like bugs in the house.
Although insects are sometimes troublesome to clean up, after all, they run fast, there are many of them, and they know how to hide, so it may be difficult for the owner of the house to completely get rid of them.
But... this does not mean that the bugs have the capital to provoke the owner of the house.
So, when he saw Lin Yu, an "outsider", walking straight into the bar, the security guard who also served as a waiter at the Magic Pig Bar even took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically.
"Sir, are you traveling alone? Are you going to a private room or a booth?"
Looking at the burly, tattooed Lin Yu, he waved his hand and was not polite to the other party.
"I'm not here to drink, I'm here to discuss business—I have a business deal I need to discuss with the person in charge here."
As Lin Yu spoke, the security guard was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"You want to see our manager? Sure, I can. Give me your business card first so I can tell the manager who you are, so I don't neglect you by offering you a low standard of hospitality."
The security guard seemed to have been trained in the art of speaking. Although his speech was still a little awkward, it could be described as "smooth".
Lin Yu shook his head: "It's not your manager, it's the real boss here."
The security guard hesitated again: "Do you want to meet the owner of our bar? This may take some time, and I can't make the decision on this matter, sir..."
When the security guard hesitated to speak, Lin Yu took out a card from his pocket - this was exactly the business card the other party requested.
This is naturally one of the standard personal belongings for the upper class, prepared in advance by the head of the Buyetian family.
The business card, made of light metal, shows the strong financial resources of its owner. The jumping gold flame and the name "Truth Company" without any suffix show that the holder of this business card comes directly from one of the three major groups. The B-1 and the second-class citizen logo in the lower right corner show his direct social status.
"If you can't make the decision, ask someone who can, but don't make me wait too long."
The other party took the business card carefully, and seemed a little relieved that his attitude just now was very good.
An executive who is only at the B-1 level of Truth Company, although not a noble, or even just a second-class resident, but according to the formula for calculating the value of identity, executive-level figures of the three major companies can upgrade their resident level by one level.
Therefore, the man in front of him is equivalent to a first-class resident and a half-step noble!
"Please sit down and have a drink," the tattooed man said respectfully. "I'll get back to you as soon as possible."
Just as the burly man turned around and was about to leave, Lin Yu raised his hand and called him again.
"Wait a moment."
The strong man stopped and asked: "Do you have any other instructions?"
"Although there's only one true boss and owner of this bar, to prevent misunderstandings, I'd better make things clearer," Lin Yu said. "I'm not looking for the manager, nor the agent who oversees your manager or helps run the place. I'm looking for the true owner and financial provider, the Fairy Queen."
The security guard was shocked when he heard Lin Yu's words, but after thinking about it, he nodded.
"I see—I'll keep you informed."
"However, I really cannot guarantee that Her Excellency the Fairy Queen will be able to see you—because even I have never met her."
"Besides, perhaps this is not a good choice for a distinguished guest like you."
Lin Yu waved his hand impatiently and sat on a chair, displaying the arrogant attitude expected of an inner city resident and the head of one of the three major companies.
"Don't bother asking. Since I'm here and asked to see her, I must know something about this matter."
"Go ahead and ask her. As for whether she wants to see me or not, leave it to her to decide. I believe the Fairy Queen will make the right choice."
