Chapter 490 Meeting with Paris and Negotiation
After entering the Truth Building, Lin Yu once again deeply felt how well Fu Luo was doing in the City That Never Sleeps.
As the receptionist led him to the public elevator, she saw the private elevator next to it open.
Two managers of the Truth Company who looked to be of high rank walked out hurriedly. They had sparse hair and were about forty years old.
Seeing Lin Yu standing at the door, the two of them hurried forward.
"Respected Mr. Forbolo, please come this way!"
Lin Yu glanced at the nameplates on the chests of their suits.
A-3 and B-1 are already management level at the department head and project team director level, but in front of "Fu Luo", they appear so attentive and nervous, just like elementary school students meeting the school leaders.
They even used the term "Your Excellency" - in the City That Never Sleeps, this was a honorific usually used only by commoners addressing nobles, and lower-ranking nobles addressing higher-ranking nobles.
Although it is no longer so strict today, sometimes it can be used to express respect to address the senior executives of the three major companies who do not hold titles...
However, being able to use this title still represents that the person being addressed is of high position, power and noble status.
Lin Yu also maintained his reserve and dignity in Fu Luo's way and nodded slightly.
He didn't know whether these two knew Fu Luo or how familiar they were with Fu Luo, so Lin Yu simply didn't say hello to them.
Perhaps it was different from the way Fu Luo usually interacted with them...
Since he is now in the position of "superior", he naturally does not need to explain to them anything he does.
Lin Yu walked into the elevator under the guidance of the two people. As expected, this slightly indifferent attitude made the two executives of Zhenli Company a little confused. After entering the elevator and helping Lin Yu press the floor buttons, they stood in the corner and stared at the wall of the elevator without saying a word.
Soon, the elevator reached the ninety-ninth floor and slowly stopped. The elevator door opened, revealing a spacious, carpeted, and richly decorated corridor.
This looks more like the lobby of a luxury hotel than the corridor of an office building.
There is only one single office on the entire ninety-ninth floor, which belongs to Paris, the actual helmsman of the Truth Company and the man who stands at the pinnacle of power below the king and nobles of the City That Never Sleeps.
After the two executives entered this floor, the cautiousness on their faces became more and more obvious.
Leading Lin Yu to the end of the corridor, the two uncles stood on the left and right in front of the heavy double wooden doors.
"Mr. Forbolo, please wait a moment."
The A-3 on the left said this, and then pressed the button on the side of the door.
"Ding--"
The doorbell rang softly, and a moment later, a magnetic voice sounded.
"come in."
Upon hearing this, the two senior executives opened the heavy double wooden doors for Lin Yu.
Lin Yu walked in and saw an office that was also extremely luxuriously decorated.
Sofas, tea tables, curtains, carpets, each one is undoubtedly top-notch luxury goods.
In addition, there are many statues, portraits and other exquisite art collections displayed on the walls on both sides.
Lin Yu took a quick look and found that the styles of many of the collections...didn't seem like something that could be found in this world.
After all, Stiller said that there is no sea in the world where the city that never sleeps is located.
But Lin Yu saw an oil painting of a sea monster.
Behind the huge desk opposite the end of the door, a man in a bright orange casual suit was sitting behind it, flipping through a... cookbook.
Lin Yu stepped in, and the wooden door behind him slowly closed with a heavy muffled sound.
The man in the orange suit raised his head, and his gentle and elegant face, which looked like a gentleman, showed an exaggerated and enthusiastic smile that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance.
"Ahahaha, Mr. Forbollo—I've heard a lot about you!"
"The greatest 'detective' in the city that never sleeps, a living legend, the pinnacle of natural human wisdom. Seeing him today, I can see he truly lives up to his reputation!"
Lin Yu looked at the man and smiled back.
"President Paris, you are also a handsome man."
Paris laughed again, revealing eight white, hard and neat teeth.
The brightly dressed man stood up from behind his desk and walked to the sofa.
"Come, sit down, Mr. Forbolo!"
President Paris took Lin Yu to sit on the sofa in the reception area. The two sat opposite each other across a terrazzo coffee table. Paris waved.
Two maids, dressed very conservatively and wearing full-face masks, emerged from a small door hidden in the corner of the room and stood behind Paris.
"Water or tea?"
"Water will do."
Paris nodded: "Okay...but the water is orange water."
Lin Yu was a little surprised: "What...what about the tea?"
"The tea is orange tea."
Even Lin Yu was stunned.
President Paris laughed again. "Ahahaha, I never thought the famous and legendary 'detective' would have such an expression."
"Anyway, orange water will be fine."
Lin Yu said, Paris waved his hand.
"You hear me? Go get ready—make it good. This is a very distinguished guest."
After Paris finished speaking, the two maids withdrew without saying a word.
He looked at Lin Yu, took out a fresh orange from the fruit plate on the coffee table, and then slowly peeled the orange.
"Well, Mr. Forbollo, what brings you here so unexpectedly? What brings you here?"
Lin Yu was not surprised to hear Paris get straight to the point.
Of course, he couldn't just say that he wanted to find Huo Le of the Nightless City through Paris - that would be too suspicious.
However, Lin Yu had already prepared his own arguments and very legitimate reasons.
He looked at Paris, smiled, knocked on the table, and said calmly: "Of course I came here for compensation."
President Paris slowly peeled off a piece of orange peel, tore off the joint, then put the orange peel into his mouth and spoke with a smile.
"Compensation? I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Forbolo."
Lin Yu looked at President Paris who was chewing orange peel and crossed his legs.
"Don't play dumb. The fact that I contacted you first proves that I don't want to escalate this. Besides, I just want compensation, not revenge..."
Lin Yu leaned back and looked at President Paris - although the two of them were sitting on the same plane, at this moment Lin Yu seemed to be looking down at Paris.
"Paris, President Paris, Mr. Paris... When I went to the Despair Train earlier, the people you sent killed me on the train. How should this matter be handled?"
As he spoke, his tone turned cold.
"Sending the leader of Team Delta and a reorganized team from the Truth Company Security Department, even resorting to the unauthorized use of the Rage Throne... Do you really think I'm a 'living legend'? Is it really going to take this much effort to kill me?"
"You are really, so brave!"
