"My two guests, please follow me closely. I will take you to the VIP lounge."

"You can call me number 16."

In the empty corridor, No. 16 walked in front, and behind her was He Ling with a thoughtful look on his face and Lin Yurou looking around. She looked left and right to see if she could find Tang Yu. Although Lingcheng Medicine had entered the mansion, the white logo exclusive to Lingcheng Medicine was rarely seen inside the mansion.

But she was going to be disappointed, because every room she could see was arranged or cleaned by a maid. It was quite troublesome to clean such a big house, so so many maids were needed to tidy it up.

"Well, I didn't see Tang Yu. Logically, Tang Yu should be in one of the rooms, right?"

He is obviously the protagonist today."

Lin Yurou, who did not see Tang Yu along the way, felt a sense of loss in her heart. Although their identities would be very different from today on, Tang Yu did not like that. Although he looked small and soft, if he got angry, he would probably give people the feeling of a fierce and cute little kitten. It was much better for him to get along with those who had been in the upper class for a long time.

Lin Yurou couldn't help but think of her childhood. She didn't want to recall the memories of that time at all. He Ling was right. If it weren't for the power they gained in the later period, they might really become canaries in a cage. At the inappropriate time, they would just be a caged bird for viewing. When it is their last chance to make use of their remaining energy, the last bit of value that belongs to them will be ruthlessly squeezed out, and then they will be useless.

"We are here, ladies and gentlemen. This is the rest area prepared for our distinguished guests. Please take a good rest here. If you need anything, you can press the button on the table and other maids will come to help you."

After performing a graceful maid salute, No. 16 left. He Ling opened the door in front of him. The decoration inside was not like that of an ordinary lounge. Lin Yurou took a look and recalled Tang Yu's room she had visited before. Well, it turned out that Tang Yu didn't like those overly luxurious decorations.

He Ling walked into the room and sat down on the sofa. Now she was without any makeup as she had when she first entered. Instead, she looked at her hands with a serious expression, thinking back to what she had talked about with Qin when they met. She could feel that no matter what the result was today, Lingcheng Pharmaceutical would definitely move into Chaoyang City.

Moreover, the alliance and the search bureau headquarters did not have any other intentions about this. As long as the other party brought other benefits to the alliance after entering the alliance, and Tang Yu’s current identity was that of the Yan Kingdom of the alliance, no matter what, the benefits brought by the other party’s entry would definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

"So, the other party's offer is so good, why don't you agree, Director He?"

After hearing what He Ling said, Lin Yurou couldn't help but be surprised. Just now in the conference room, He Ling had just briefly exchanged some common workplace terms with Qin, and then the other party directly handed a proposal to He Ling. He didn't use too many words to fight for other conveniences for himself, but just sat there with his hands crossed, giving people a complete sense of oppression.

Only at this point did Lin Yurou realize what a big hand the opponent had played. She thought that the opponent was just skimming the surface or asking for a huge sum, but she didn't expect that the opponent was asking for a huge sum, like a whale spouting water, and directly scattering coins!

Moreover, the other party's maintenance team has been working hard to carry out the city's reconstruction plan. Although it has not been agreed upon, it can be seen from the fact that the other party has contracted all the post-disaster treatment of the injured after the disaster that real actions are far more practical than just talking big and making empty promises on the stage, and can move the hearts of the people more.

"That's why I feel the pressure. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The other party offers such rich conditions, and the cost we need to pay is so small that it can even be ignored."

He Ling put the proposal in her hand on the table. Hei Yu handed her the first proposal when she left, hoping that she could take a closer look at what the other party was doing during her rest time and see how loyal they were to the Lingcheng Pharmaceutical organization. They came all the way from the border to Yan Country just for their so-called successor, or future leader.

He Ling looked at the proposal paper carefully. In fact, if possible, she wanted to take the proposal back and show it to other people. Moreover, her cell phone was not with her, so she could not take a picture. She could only make judgments based on her own experience.

There is still an hour and a half until noon, and this period of time is the last time for her to think. From the beginning, she has wanted to squeeze as much advantage as possible from the opponent so that Chaoyang City will not become a chess piece in the hands of the opponent. But now the conditions offered by the opponent are really too generous.

Lin Yurou looked at He Ling who threw the cigarette box in his pocket directly onto the table and kept throwing candies into his mouth (actually it was because he thought about Lin Yurou being by his side) and couldn't help but sigh that the adult world was really too complicated.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and both of them instantly focused their attention on the door.

"Excuse me, would you like some dessert?"

A petite white-haired maid came in, holding a plate with finished cupcakes in her small hands.

The two of them looked at her and put the plate in her hand on the table. Her big blue eyes were full of anticipation, as if she hoped that they could eat this delicious cupcake. However, why did tears flow from her mouth even though there was expectation in her eyes?

"Here, little sister, do you want to eat one?"

"Well, this looks like too much and we may not be able to finish it."

"Really!?"

The little maid had a look of surprise on her face, but then she became frustrated.

"I'm sorry, this is for the VIPs. It's not my break time yet, so I can't eat the cake. And the candies, gummy bears, and snacks my sisters gave me..."

The imagined scene of child laborers doing hard labor did not appear. Instead, there was a little maid who was surrounded and supported by a group of beautiful maid sisters.

"Take one first. Consider it a reward for your hard work."

He Ling took out a cupcake from the pile with a smile on his face and placed it in front of her. The little maid's cute face swayed for a while as she looked at the cupcake in front of her. After all, it was given by the customer and it was a reward, so it wouldn't be considered as being lazy and eating while working!

"Ha~ crab......"

The little maid took a bite of the small cake that was fed to her, then turned around and walked out the door, still holding the cake in both hands, as if she was afraid that someone would come to snatch it away.

"Wait, little sister, what's your name?"

"Well, let me think about it, A268?"

A268 tapped her chin with her finger and thought, the other party must be asking for her code name, right? After all, the name is also a code name, and there are more than 3000 of the same machine. If she had to name them one by one, how long would it take?

"268? Your name is just a string of numbers?"

Lin Yurou asked in surprise. She couldn't imagine that such a cute little girl would have no name.

"Well, I don't know. As far as I can remember, I was alone and the surroundings were in ruins. Anyway, people like us can only do some work in logistics. Later, it was until now."

No. 268 tapped his chin and then spoke innocently and casually.

"You mean you? Are there others like you?"

"Yeah, we all came from the same place. It was a dark place with a lot of broken down parts. Anyway, it wasn't very good to remember it, so I gave up on that part of my memory."

.......

The room fell into silence. The two looked at the plates of cupcakes on the table. It seemed as if they could see one cute and pitiful little girl after another carefully making each cupcake in the kitchen. If it were not for the current chaotic world, they should have lived in happy families one after another.

Instead of losing their families prematurely due to the war, they huddled together for warmth in the troubled times. In the end, if it weren't for the intervention of Lingcheng Medicine, they would have died in the extremely dark and chaotic times, or even worse.

“This is truly a time of great confusion.”

He Ling picked up a small cake and put it into her mouth. The moment it entered her mouth, it was filled with sweetness, because what the little girl likes is sweetness, but in her mouth there was only the bitter taste in the sweetness.

If it weren't for Lingcheng Medical, a clear stream in the chaotic area between the two worlds, saving these poor homeless children, how many more people would have to die in this cannibalistic world to quell its wrath?

"I think, from this moment on, my decision has already paid off."
