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

Seeing the people in front of him nod silently, Lin Yuan smiled:

"If any of you need any help, please feel free to contact me. We have fought side by side before, so there is naturally a bond between us."

After saying this, he slowly got up to take his leave, but with a flick of his eye, Lin Yuan sat back down in his seat.

A moment later, two figures came down from the direction of the guest rooms upstairs.

It was a star, and a black swan that had just escaped danger.

........

Chapter 289 Undercurrents

The black swan stepped down the stairs and walked to the bar.

She glanced at the crowd around her, her gaze lingering on a young man sitting casually, and she frowned slightly.

"Who is this?"

A question flashed through the memory.

Although the person in front of her was a complete stranger, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen them before.

This feeling of being both close and distant rekindled her interest. Anyone who could chat and laugh so easily with the train crew was clearly no ordinary person.

But with a flicker in her eyes, the black swan temporarily suppressed her curiosity.

Her recent experience taught this person the importance of caution. Now she vows never to act rashly before fully understanding the other party's background.

“Miss Himeko, look, I have brought the child back as promised.”

Upon seeing the figure appear, March excitedly rushed forward: "Xing, are you alright! I couldn't find you in reality or in my dreams, I was so worried..."

"I'm glad you're safe and sound. Let me introduce you. This is Miss Black Swan, the Memory Provider of Flowing Light Memory Court."

Himeko visibly breathed a sigh of relief, a genuine smile spreading across her face as she exchanged pleasantries with the others.

Behind him, Lin Yuan's expression turned somewhat strange upon seeing this scene.

"This black swan is impressive. After going through so much, it still managed to keep its promise and save Xing from the brink of death. Its professional skills are undeniable."

"So, Xing, how did you end up in a place like that...? What happened?"

On the other side, Himeko had already begun questioning Hoshi about her disappearance when Black Swan looked up and glanced at Lin Yuan behind her:

"And this gentleman is?"

Just as Himeko was about to introduce them, she saw Hoshino's eyes light up, and she excitedly said:

"Brother Lin, what are you doing here? This is my good brother from the company!"

Upon hearing this, the black swan was surprised but also inexplicably relieved, eliminating a terrifying possibility from its mind.

Himeko added from the side, "Miss Black Swan, rest assured, Mr. Lin is a friend of our Starry Sky Train and is trustworthy."

"Are they from the company? And what does that have to do with the company's envoy, Sandstone?"

After a slight sigh of relief, a question arose in the mind of the person who recalled it.

As a company with immense power, every move Pinocchio makes is worth watching. After learning about Lin Yuan's identity, she became even more curious about the young man before her.

"Well, my friend and I just went for a ride around Pinocchio, and at the very end, during the Golden Hour..."

After greeting Lin Yuan, Xing began to recount her previous experiences.

"So, the person who attacked you was a woman dressed in red, skilled in illusion magic, and capable of transforming into other people's appearances..."

Himeko fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Her name is Hanabi, and she is..."

"Is he a masked fool?" Black Swan was about to reply when Lin Yuan interrupted her.

"This Pinocchio is quite lively! Nameless travelers, reminiscers, families, the Masked Fool, oh... and tourists like myself. Your journey ahead is sure to be very interesting..."

Lin Yuan smiled and was about to continue speaking when the terminal suddenly rang.

He frowned slightly and glanced at the terminal.

The message was from Ai Bai, saying that there was something important in the department that needed to be reported to him.

With a flicker of his eyes, Lin Yuan put away the terminal, revealing an apologetic expression:

"Sorry, that's just how people are at this company. Even though I'm on vacation, this damn work still came knocking. It's nice to see you all. Please feel free to contact me if you need any help. But... excuse me for taking my leave now."

Lin Yuan took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Black Swan.

"Miss Black Swan, this is my business card. I'm sorry we didn't have a chance to talk much today, but I believe we will have the opportunity to collaborate."

"Oh?"

Curious, the person who remembered took the business card. Although she had no physical body, she could preserve physical objects through her memories.

"Lin Yuan, P46, Market Development Department, huh? Another big shot in the company. But according to what I've heard, he and that Sand Gold guy shouldn't get along, right?"

While she was still thinking, Lin Yuan had already said goodbye and left.

Watching his retreating figure, the Black Swan asked curiously:

"I didn't expect that the anonymous customer would have friends in the company's marketing department. Their reputation is not so good."

"Ms. Black Swan is making a generalization. The company is large enough. We have dealt with each other before, and Mr. Lin is a reliable partner."

Walter explained, while also implying that she, the one who remembers, was not trustworthy.

"Yes, yes, and let me tell you, my older brother here is..."

"Cough cough."

Himeko suddenly interrupted Hoshi's words and steered the conversation elsewhere.

"What is it?"

The black swan's curiosity was piqued, and it began to make plans.

.........

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan returned to his room and dialed Ai Bai's number.

"What's wrong? The department was just established, and I remember saying not to bother me unless it's something important."

"Forehead...."

Hearing Lin Yuan's indifferent tone, Ai Bai, who was about to pour out her grievances to the absentee manager, paused in her tracks.

"Director, this isn't an internal matter for our Crisis Management Department. It's something unusual happening in the Market Development Department. It's like this, after you left..."

As Lin Yuan listened to Ai Bai's report, he gradually frowned.

"You mean that after I left, the supervisor didn't follow the formal procedures but instead privately arranged for other departments to do some things? Is this related to our crisis management department?"

"Yes, according to our authority, we have the right to know and intervene in all matters related to destiny, and according to the newly established intelligence department, this matter is indeed related to our authority."

"What exactly is the mission?"

"Director Oswaldo ordered them to speed up their search for more places of pleasure."

"Pleasure".

Lin Yuan's face darkened, and his mind raced.

"Director, should we send an official letter requesting our intervention to obtain more intelligence?"

"No, let's not alert them yet. Let's gather more intelligence first... I'll call a meeting with my friends later, so be prepared."

"Ok."

Hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Ai Bai was somewhat surprised, but didn't say anything more.

After hanging up the call, Lin Yuan sat silently on the sofa.

“Oswaldo, the land of lingering pleasure, you’re up to no good. What are you planning to do?”

He suddenly had a premonition that beneath the company's surface-level systems and regulations, some deeper issues might have already begun to surface.

........

Chapter 290 The Second Circle of Friends

Soon, after Lin Yuanyu issued a call to action in the group, the second WeChat Moments meeting was about to begin.

No matter how busy each member is, no one will choose to delay when faced with a summons from a guardian.

Therefore, when the holographic space reappeared, the attendees were already seated and quietly waiting for the event to begin.

Compared to the last time, the number of participants increased to six this time.

At the long table, everyone looked at the young man at the head of the table and bowed in unison.

Hello everyone, it's been a long time. How have you been?

Lin Yuan smiled and announced the start of the meeting.

"This is Mr. Spears, who joined last time. This is your first time attending a meeting, so please don't be shy."

Seeing that Spiel was silently observing everyone, Lin Yuan first introduced him to them.

"There's nothing major I need to call you all here for. The galaxy is changing rapidly, with new things happening every day. Let's share information regularly and strive for mutual progress. I hope you... can treat this place like home."

His tone was somewhat meaningful.

"The boss is right! I'll go first this time, I'm ready."

Ai Bai couldn't wait to speak. In her opinion, what was this "circle of friends"? This was just the director's private influence!

"Oswaldo, the head of market development, has recently been making some rather unusual moves behind the scenes, which are reportedly related to pleasure."

"Hey, hey, hey, is it really okay for you to leak departmental secrets in front of us from the Strategic Investment Department?!"

Topa couldn't help but feel a bit skeptical. After all, she was tasked with reporting to Emerald after each meeting.

As for that guy Sand Gold, although he came in at the same time as her, he didn't seem to reveal much to Jade. What was he thinking?

As if noticing her gaze, Sand Gold, forced to remain in his hotel room due to a problem with the timing of the event, gently shook his head, thinking to himself:
