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

After saying that, Minister Kane actually extended his hand to him.

Lin Yuan quickly stepped forward and shook hands solemnly, then turned and left after receiving permission.

"Go back and report to your team leader."

A short while after Lin Yuan left, Kang gently knocked on the door and came in.

"Boss, how is it?"

He asked softly.

......

Chapter 10 The Situation Has Changed

"Boss, how are you feeling?"

Seeing Minister Kane's thoughtful expression, Kane asked with a smile.

"Hmm, he's a promising talent."

Minister Kane turned his chair around and looked out at the sea of ​​clouds.

"Since the policy from above is irreversible, we might as well make a small move and try to win him over at a crucial moment, but..."

Kane said, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"The premise is how he handles the challenges ahead. If he's just a mediocre person who only talks big, he's not worth our resources."

......

As the scenery flashed by outside the observation window, the elevator rapidly descended.

On his way to his department's floor, Lin Yuan began to recall his meeting with Minister Kane.

"They didn't ask me about the specifics of Project Krim V, nor did they inquire about the attack. Instead, they explained the concept of 'storage' to me?"

Lin Yuan had some doubts.

Although according to the internal division of business scope, I should indeed liaise with the department led by Minister Kane, there is no need for the top leader to personally receive him.

"This is not normal; there must be something I don't know about."

Lin Yuan's past experiences and memories made him certain that something was amiss when things seemed unusual.

Every little thing that happens in the company can indicate a certain trend.

Reaching the position of vice minister means that every word and action must be carefully considered.

"Could it be that they want to use me to accomplish something?"

Lin Yuan felt a chill run down his spine; the word "political struggle" suddenly popped into his mind.

Having worked in the company for so many years, Lin Yuan has encountered various competitions, but those were all upward competitions between lower-level employees, whether benign or malicious.

Lin Yuan still lacks understanding of some things at the top.

Now he is only one step away from the management of P25, but a simple conversation suddenly sounded an alarm bell in his mind.

"Sigh... It's better to be sent abroad, at least you don't have to think about so many headaches."

Lin Yuan sighed softly, but his eyes lit up.

With the system at his fingertips, what did he have to fear?

"Ding"

The elevator doors opened at the right moment, and Lin Yuan arrived at his group's territory.

........

As one of the company's most important departments, the Market Development Department is second only in size to the Business Consolidation Department, which covers most of the company's business.

Lin Yuan's project team alone occupied an entire floor, not to mention the size of the entire market development department's offices.

Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a spacious office space.

Some partitions divided the venue into various areas, and apart from the seats reserved for them, the rest were almost all clerical staff from the market development department.

Their role is to provide supporting services for outstanding talents like Lin Yuan.

As long as you have the ability, the company will always provide you with sufficient human resources.

Lin Yuan's project this time is a world that these civilian staff members have selected from a vast sea of ​​past logs, a world that is valuable and worth exploring again.

His group's main task was to re-explore and re-establish contact with worlds that the company had previously documented but had lost contact with due to the Star Core Disaster.

Of course, some colleagues in the strategic investment department also do this business, and their main job is to clear out the company's bad debts and non-performing assets.

Lin Yuan's team leader, Zhou Wei, is a business supervisor at the P29 level. When they first met, Lin Yuan thought his team leader was a Xianzhou person because of his appearance.

But after they got to know each other better, he learned from her with a wry smile that she was just from an ordinary little world in the Milky Way.

But perhaps because they both had East Asian features, Zhou Wei usually took good care of him.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yuan had already arrived at the door of the team leader's office.

The office is built on a high platform, from which you can see the busy clerks working below.

"bang bang bang"

Lin Yuan stepped forward and started banging on the door.

"Come in!"

Lin Yuan pushed the door open and closed it behind him.

"Hey, couldn't you knock a little quieter? I knew it was you without even looking!"

"Hehe, aren't we familiar with each other, Brother Zhou?"

Lin Yuan wore a mocking smile, his eyes meeting a sorrowful face.

Zhou Wei was sitting at his desk, looking at him with a furrowed brow.

Looking at the other person's appearance, Lin Yuan recalled the other person's nickname "the one everyone fears" in the company.

This doesn't mean he caused people distress, but rather that everyone who saw him presented him with a sorrowful image.

This appearance wasn't Zhou Wei's choice; it was simply because his face had so many lines that he was born with this expression.

"It's good that you're back. You really caused quite a stir this time."

Zhou Wei had no idea what impolite thing Lin Yuan was thinking, and he looked at Lin Yuan with some emotion.

"I've heard about your report. It not only alarmed our boss, but several other vice ministers also personally inquired about it. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse for you."

"It's good enough that we survived this time, why bother with anything else?"

Lin Yuan's smile turned somewhat helpless; his career path had been truly bumpy.

"Hmph, I'm actually hoping your office will move next to mine."

Zhou Wei had always placed high hopes on Lin Yuan.

Putting aside everything else, having a close colleague in the company will make your career path much smoother.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, guess who I went to see just now?"

Lin Yuan suddenly said something that kept everyone in suspense.

"Ha, who else could it be..."

Just as Zhou Wei was about to make a joke, the terminal in his hand suddenly made a sound.

He gestured to Lin Yuan to wait a moment, then answered the call.

Lin Yuan watched as Zhou Wei's expression shifted from surprise to seriousness. Finally, Zhou Wei fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan before slowly hanging up the phone.

What did you do?

Zhou Wei's words left Lin Yuan somewhat confused. He asked, puzzled:

"I do not know."

"you do not know?!"

Zhou Wei's already troubled face suddenly flushed slightly, and Lin Yuan knew that this was a sign of his excitement.

"Don't you know why the internal audit team is looking for you and asking me to cooperate?"

Seeing Lin Yuan's innocent expression, Zhou Wei was so angry he laughed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression darkened.

“I really don’t know what happened. By the way, when I arrived at headquarters just now, two people who claimed to be from the internal audit team wanted to take me for questioning. But because Minister Kane wanted to see me, Secretary Kane dismissed the two men.”

"What? Such a thing exists?"

Zhou Wei was startled, and his expression changed slightly. He pondered for a moment and then said:

"The internal audit team is a disciplinary department established within the company, directly responsible to the head of each business unit. They will generally only come to you if they receive solid internal whistleblowing."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wei's expression turned serious.

"Xiaolin, are you sure you haven't done anything that violates company principles?"

"I swear in the name of Amber King that I have never done anything against the company's interests!"

Lin Yuan solemnly swore.

Seeing Lin Yuan's expression and hearing his vow, Zhou Wei began to believe him to some extent.

After a moment of contemplation, he said:

"The internal audit team will be here to see you soon. I heard they've already obtained a letter of authorization signed by a vice minister. Whatever happens next, don't say anything that's detrimental to yourself."

"Well, I'm going to see Secretary Speer now. The internal audit team reports to several ministers simultaneously. I'll go and find out what happened."

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhou! I can't thank you enough!"

Lin Yuan felt a pang of emotion; true friendship is revealed in times of trouble.

The next moment, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the office door.
