Chapter 1254 Paris's Interest
Chapter 1254 Paris's Interest
Standing not far from the door, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh as he watched Paris, surrounded by bodyguards, walk into the gate of Truth Company with his head held high and chest puffed out, striding like a dragon and a tiger.
Paris is indeed a character.
In the last assassination attempt, Stiller's prototype, Puncture, almost killed Paris.
But he still turned this near-death crisis into an opportunity, making his identity and power even more solid.
Although it was mainly because Paris's backer Buye Tianhuole worked harder during this period, Lin Yu would certainly not ignore the contribution of Paris himself.
After all, if Huo Le of the Nightless City wants to exert any influence on the Truth Company, it will most likely be achieved through Paris and the forces he has cultivated.
And now that I've bumped into Paris at the door...
Lin Yu naturally would not miss this opportunity.
He walked quickly forward and caught up with President Paris who was heading towards the company elevator.
When the security personnel were about to stop him at the outermost circle, Lin Yu just showed his B-1 level supervisor identity certificate at the right time, thus entering the inner circle of security personnel.
Although there was still a distance of about two meters between him and Paris, separated by two bodyguards, this was obviously a distance at which he could have a direct conversation with the other party.
B-1 level supervisors do have the authority to communicate directly with Paris.
At this time, Paris also noticed Lin Yu's arrival. Seeing that it was a strange face, he thought for a moment and laughed.
"Director Arthur, huh? What's the matter with you coming to see me?"
Lin Yu's face showed just the right amount of surprise: "President Paris, you actually know me? I thought this was the first time we met!"
Paris laughed heartily. "Hahaha, Arthur, there are only twenty B-1-level supervisors in the entire company... Forget about B-1 level. As the president, I know the appearances of all A-level and B-level personnel by heart!"
"Although you've been in charge of confidential projects for the past ten years, and your personal information has only recently become available, I recognize everyone except you, so I naturally guessed it was you."
Paris waved his hand and asked the bodyguards on both sides to move aside.
A bodyguard from the security department whispered, "President, this doesn't comply with the new security regulations. It's only been three months since your last assassination attempt, and the security alert level hasn't been lowered yet..."
The security guard's reminder was not meant to be deliberate.
After all, Paris, who was assassinated by Punkto that day, almost died.
But now he seems to be active and active here without any sequelae. Naturally, this is because he has received a lot of rescue efforts at all costs from the Buyetian family and the Zhenli Company, used a lot of expensive medical technologies, and even used many advanced alchemy techniques as an aid, consuming a large amount of alchemical herbs.
Although this left Paris with almost no side effects, allowing him to recover to full health in the fastest possible time and return to work, but... the absence of "side effects" was only an appearance.
President Paris now has too many alchemical structures in his body that have not yet been completely integrated with his original body, making him very vulnerable to harm again - assassinating Paris is now much easier than before.
After all, he has a lot of complex devices installed in his body - some of which, with a little damage, can be transformed from alchemical structures that sustain life into alchemical bombs.
At the same time, if Paris suffered fatal injuries again, it would be difficult for him to receive this level of treatment again given that his original alchemical structure was still unstable.
Therefore, Paris' security level was almost raised to the highest level during this period.
But in this situation, Paris naturally would not consider the possibility that a B-1 level supervisor was an assassin and that he might be in danger.
Although this "Arthur" has always been mysterious, it's highly likely that someone is impersonating him and deliberately using his supervisor's identity to get close to him...
But Paris, who climbed up from the bottom, would not miss this opportunity to win people's hearts.
"What are you talking about? This is my first meeting with Director Arthur, so let's put some rules aside for now," Paris said proudly, patting the security guard on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile!"
As he spoke, Paris took the initiative to walk past the bodyguards, came to Lin Yu's side, and stretched out his hand.
"Anyway, welcome back to Truth Company. Thank you for your contributions to the company and the City That Never Sleeps—hahahaha, although I don't know exactly what kind of contributions you've made, Mr. Arthur."
Lin Yu also smiled and shook Paris's hand.
"I've said too much. I just followed the company's instructions and did some insignificant work."
To be honest, he had no idea what secret project Arthur was working on.
After all, this was just a fabricated explanation for his absence from the Truth Company - of course, this secret project team had indeed existed many times in the past few decades.
For example, the "fear" energy project studied by Punkto's brother, Will Valetti, and his mentor was carried out in secret.
It was even carried out secretly in the wilderness.
Paris released Lin Yu's hand and continued to walk forward. He led Lin Yu and the team to the elevator. He stopped and continued to ask, "So... Mr. Arthur shouldn't just come to say hello to me, right?"
"That's right, President Paris, you are as smart as the rumors say."
Lin Yu said with a smile on his face: "I came to contact you because I have an idea for a new alchemy experiment project."
As Lin Yu spoke, Paris showed curiosity: "Oh? Alchemy experiment project?"
"That sounds pretty good," he expressed his approval, then took out his business card and handed it to Lin Yu. "I've always supported innovation. Mr. Arthur, take my business card to the R&D department. After you submit the project proposal, let me know and I'll follow up. I'll help you approve it at next month's meeting."
Paris said brightly.
Lin Yu looked at Paris who had expressed support before he even asked about the project application, took the business card, but shook his head.
"No, no, no, President Paris, you misunderstood. I'm not here to ask you to endorse my new project—I'm not just looking for something to do."
"As you know, I've been working on a classified project for the past ten years. Although it's now complete, I've gained some insights from it. I think the company may have been a bit too arbitrary in 'abandoning' some of the sealed research directions from the past."
"I want to restart one of the projects that was once considered 'dangerous'... Now it coincides with the destruction of the Desperate Train and the need for a new energy project to rebuild..."
Lin Yu said this, looked at Paris, and paused for a moment, giving President Paris time to react.
"Do you know about the 'Fear' project?"
President Paris looked at Lin Yu and took the business card back from his hand.
"Director Arthur..."
Paris called out Lin Yu's name again, but his tone sounded much more serious.
"If you have time now, please come to my office - I'd love to hear you elaborate."
