Chapter 1246 627: Watching the Fire from the Other Side, Taking Command in a Crisis
And the sound of knocking on the door echoed perfectly.
Ji Jue looked up and saw the old man who seemed to be out for a stroll. He was hunched over, hands behind his back, and upon entering, he wandered around, clicking his tongue in awe as if he had never seen the world before.
This made Ji Jue straighten up involuntarily, eyes wide.
He finally turned around and flashed Ji Jue a toothy smile.
Security Bureau's Director of Operations at Tower City, Desolate Heaven People · Lin Shouyi!
"Busy with something?"
"Director Lin."
Ji Jue greeted him, "Please sit down, I'll have someone prepare tea…"
"No need, I'm not used to it. I'm mainly here for business."
Lin Shouyi waved lazily, looking at the bustling scene outside, "Next, the Security Bureau plans to take action. At that time, official Vanguard Team will sweep in to confirm the situation, with the aim of nailing a peg in Forest Country. What's your take?"
"..."
Ji Jue pondered for a moment, preparing to seriously promote Tian Yuan, but sensed Lin Shouyi's smiling-not-smiling demeanor and ultimately didn't speak in clichés, just sighed:
"Starting to fish, aren't we?"
"It's possible to have such thoughts, so without Heavenly People accompanying, life and death are uncertain, results may not be good. It's not a good gig, not as comfortable as sitting here waiting for money."
Lin Shouyi said frankly, "We currently lack a craftsman, and I have you in mind."
No beating around the bush, the meaning clear to this extent, just missing a question of whether you'll go. The reason for not asking is also to give Ji Jue some dignity.
Just say you're unfortunately busy, not in good shape, can't step away, and it naturally falls apart.
But why let it fall apart?
For Lin Shouyi, it's the Security Bureau needing a craftsman for a dangerous operation, asking for his help.
But for him, it's a legitimate entry into Forest Country, equipped with a full luxurious bodyguard lineup... and with pay!
"Duty calls, Director Lin; we're all our own people, why be so distant?"
Ji Jue laughed, nodded without hesitation, reiterated the bond between both sides, unashamedly climbing up the ladder: "But, regarding the treatment, shouldn't I earn a bit more?"
"..."
Lin Shouyi was silent for a moment, his gaze clearly turned peculiar.
If forced to say, it was like Ji Jue looking at Yan Fei's math error collection; a feeling of unbearable frustration and bewilderment at your inability to learn this.
"Do you want the Security Bureau's travel allowance? I'll give you double."
Lin Shouyi sighed meaningfully, "I'm a broke director, how much can I empty my pockets for? You're a craftsman, no matter how big your appetite, how much can you eat? Really wondering how you, a military representative, manage."
Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Vaguely understood his meaning.
That's why it's hard to believe...
Can there really be such a crazy routine?
No, doesn't this hurt the Federation a bit...
"If you're going to dig, dig deep; what can an individual dig? Small fry won't make the cut.
The truth is, what do you count for?
Really want to ask for price, let Taiyi Ring ask, then it's a lion's big mouth!"
Lin Shouyi leaned on the counter, looked at Ji Jue approvingly, straightened the boy out: "If you're going big, go big.
I see you've eaten well in Taiyi Ring before, go sort out your identity with Artisan Association, then get Lv Yingyue the little fox to negotiate with the Military Department, now's the time to raise the price, what's the point of caring for Federation... to save money for adding a dish to the Van family?"
"No, is this possible?"
Ji Jue was shocked, "Can it work?"
"Maybe the Military Department will thank you even, you profited, Security Bureau profited, Lv Yingyue profited, Sea Tide profited, Association profited, everyone on the chain profited!"
Lin Shouyi patted his shoulder, flashed a smile, "This is Tian Yuan, kid!"
No, you're obviously the Ruins...
Ji Jue wanted to speak but stopped, left speechless.
Then, without a second thought, picked up the phone.
"Hello? Guardian Lv, it's like this..."
Half an hour later, news came from Lv Yingyue's side, an hour later, Gustav's secretary called back, two hours later, the Association's mandate came down.
Amid the continuous ding of notifications, Taiyi Ring Association representative, appointed Golden Ribbon Craftsman Ji Jue made his bright debut.
"Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh... oh... how could I refuse?"
Looking at the slowly opening warehouse door ahead, Ji Jue showed a bitter face, helplessly pulled out eight oversized reinforced woven storage bags from his pocket, unrolled them smoothly.
"You've really hurt me!"
