Although the Tycoon acted humble, Lin Yu could still sense his smugness.

Being ranked around 27th in the national forum is something this middle-aged man is extremely proud of.

And after bringing this matter up...

Lin Yu couldn't help but understand even more.

This Tycoon valued him more than he had imagined.

It's probably not just because of the Item we sold last time...

Based on the "Freedom Alliance's" enthusiastic attitude towards him, Lin Yu could easily guess what was going on.

Being killed by people from the "Psychology Society" to enter Death game and leaving a business card is probably a very reliable form of "certification"!

Because of this, Lin Yu became even more composed.

He's been putting so much effort into "acting" for the Tycoon since the beginning; what he wants is more information.

And... to thoroughly understand the Tycoon's cards and attitude.

As expected, while Lin Yu was still silent...

The Tycoon couldn't help but speak again, "So, what are your thoughts after seeing this Rankings?"

"Yes, I'd rather join 'Order'."

Lin Yu spoke with great sincerity.

Just now, in the Rankings, there were two "Order" entries in the top three and four "Order" entries in the top twenty...

Eight within the first fifty li!

Of the Rankings 100, fifteen are from the "Order" family!

This "Order" organization is so powerful that it's no exaggeration to say it's a monopoly!

"With such a strong Order, even if there are a few more rules, it's not unbearable."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Tycoon was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha--This idea is absolutely flawless!"

"However, I'll say it again, don't rush. Large organizations also have their drawbacks... Although 'Order' seems powerful, it is, after all, the 'leader of the Righteous Path,' and the burden is heavy... Otherwise, it wouldn't be cooperating with our 'Jiang'an Society'!"

"Furthermore, while joining the 'Jiang'an Society' might not offer the same Tier Advancement up' as a large organization like 'Order'... well..."

The Tycoon tapped the table as he spoke.

"We have a lot of perks, such as the Item for the 'Jiang City Gathering' and our 'Jiang'an Society,' which can be purchased and used by ourselves at a 60% to 90% discount..."

"And they also give out a free 'team-up Item's every month."

"And, brother, you look like a college student, right? We can stamp your internship application, and you can even work for my company after graduation! I'll pay for your social insurance and housing fund—a base salary of over 10,000 yuan with no sales targets—weekends off, but in reality, you don't even need to go to work!"

Tycoon spoke, Lin Yu paused for a moment.

Everything else was fine, but the internship badge and the five social insurances and one housing fund were truly tempting to Lin Yu.

This was probably the most tempting option for Lin Yu.

He couldn't even imagine what it would be like if he graduated and immediately got a job at a local company in Jiang City, with weekends off, five social insurances and one housing fund, and a base salary of over ten thousand yuan...

How sunny and cheerful Lin Zhao would become!

Although Lin Zhao supported Lin Yu's "Actor dream" in both actions and words, Lin Yu knew deep down that his older sister still hoped he could find a stable job.

Moreover, this job as Tycoon doesn't prevent him from continuing to pursue his dream in the entertainment industry.

"May I ask which company you work for, brother...?"

Lin Yu asked cautiously.

"Qingsheng, our own listed catering group in Jiang City," the Tycoon laughed, extending his hand to Lin Yu. "My father owns a stake in Qingsheng, and my elder brother also holds an important position there."

After hearing this, Lin Yu took a deep breath.

It's still "Qingsheng"!

His family's milk and fast food are something that people in Jiang City have been eating since they were kids!

Lin Yu could imagine that if he got a job at "Qingsheng", his older sister would brag about it to all the old men and women in the neighborhood.

However, Lin Yu quickly Leng Jing down.

Looking at the Tycoon's hand, adorned with rings, bracelets, and jewels, he felt a pang of emotion.

No wonder he paid so readily last time, turns out he's a rich Second Generation!

Judging from his slightly older age and flamboyant attire, I initially thought he was a nouveau riche, but it turns out he's just a tasteless old playboy!

Lin Yu's thoughts raced as he grasped the Tycoon's hand and swallowed hard.

"I'll think about it some more!"

He replied again.

Although he still said he would "consider it," the Tycoon noticed the change in Lin Yu's tone and smiled as he spoke.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply!"

Lin Yu stood up and then left the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Lin Yu's expression calmed down.

"An organization...?"

Although the Tycoon's offer was tempting enough, Lin Yu only sighed slightly and acted out his feelings.

He wouldn't join the "Jiang'an Society" for money.

Of course, this doesn't mean the Tycoon's guess about Lin Yu was correct.

Lin Yu also did not want to actually join the "Order".

To be precise, Lin Yu did not actually intend to join any organization.

Because of the existence of the Profession of "Fraudster," Lin Yu was already mentally prepared.

He can't possibly have any real "companions"!

There is a "circle" between the players of the "Game of Death", or as the tycoon puts it, like a "jianghu".

This is not good news for Lin Yu.

His Profession has already determined that the more others understand him, the more disadvantageous it will be for him.

Therefore, it is impossible for Lin Yu to actually join any organization.

"Unless one day I develop a means to change my identity at will without anyone knowing, 'cooperating' with these organizations will be the limit!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu also took out his phone and opened a chat window.

[Double Wood: President, are you asleep?]

The chat window responded to messages almost instantly.

[Nine Waters:?]

[Nine Waters: No money, we loved, no encore]

Looking at the message from Shen Bingmiao, Lin Yu felt somewhat helpless.

[Double Wood: No, I have a favor to ask you. Someone needs you to look into something.]

[Nine Waters: Oh my god, that scared me to death! Are you asleep yet? It's so late at night!]

[Nine Waters: I thought you were going to confess your feelings, borrow money, or do an extra act!]

[Nine Waters: It's just opening a box... Tell me, which bastard in the Game messed things up for you this time?]

Upon seeing Shen Bingmiao's message, Lin Yu couldn't help but fall silent.

My Senior Sister is still as lively as ever!

He edited the message and sent it.

[Double Wood: No, this time we're investigating a celebrity]

[Double Wood: A relative of a senior executive or shareholder of Qingsheng Group, a man in his late thirties to early forties. I have his WeChat ID.]

[Nine Waters: Are you crazy? People who open boxes and get rich are likely to be targeted!]

[Nine Waters: This is from a listed company... What are you trying to do? Thinking about marrying into a wealthy family now? Then don't go after an older man!]

[Nine Waters: Holy crap, you don't actually like this kind of thing, do you?]

Lin Yu was helpless.

Senior Sister Shen Bingmiao is great in every way, except sometimes she goes a little too far!

[Double Wood: No, I'm just curious whether he's reliable or not—I don't need any specific private information, just help me find out if this person has any bad news, criminal records, or anything like that, okay?]

[Double Wood: It would be best to have a simple "growth trajectory," such as where you went to school and what jobs you did.]

Lin Yu replied.

With this information, he can use the method of writing "biographical sketches" to slightly outline and portray some of the deeper characteristics of the Tycoon.

This is also an application of an Actor's "skills" in a real-world context!

Although Lin Yu had actually met the Tycoon and felt that he was quite trustworthy, even if he didn't plan to join the "Jiang'an Society," he felt that it was worthwhile to have a friendly relationship with him.

But Lin Yu still felt it was best to be cautious.

[Nine Waters: This is simple, but it feels like you're writing a "short biography" of this person?]

Looking at the message from Shen Bingmiao, Lin Yu couldn't help but marvel once again at the keen insight of his Senior Sister and club president.

However, he was prepared.

[Double Wood: It's not a "biography," it's something I'm planning to do for fun, using him as a model for a screenplay.]

Thinking of this, Lin Yu's thoughts stirred slightly.

[Double Wood: By the way, since we're going to investigate... do you know any big entrepreneurs in Jiang City Senior Sister have daughters around sixteen or seventeen years old, most likely only children, and probably excellent in all aspects of their studies?]

[Double Wood: If it's convenient for you, could you help me find some that match my criteria?]

After Lin Yu sent the message, Shen Bingmiao immediately replied with a shocked panda head emoji.

[Nine Waters: What are you going to do?]

[Nine Waters: So, to prove he's not hooking up with older men, he's switched to hooking up with rich women, huh!]

[Nine Waters: You even specifically emphasized that they have to be sixteen or seventeen years old... Lin Yu, you're such a pervert!]

[Nine Waters: No wonder you don't even look at all the fans at school! You've probably passed your expiration date?!]

[Nine Waters: If you ever become famous and news breaks about a minor having a scandal involving stir-fried noodles, don't ever say you came from the Jiangcheng Media Drama club. I can't afford to lose face like that!]

Lin Yu felt even more helpless.

[Double Wood: You've misunderstood the president. There's a reason for this. Let me explain.]

Shen Bingmiao sent an emoji.

It's a panda head with its ears standing up.

[Nine Waters: You'd better explain yourself clearly, or I'll have to expel you from the party.]

[Double Wood: This is a long story, but I'll keep it short...]

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu decided to remove the "Death game" part and tell a story that was half true and half false.

[Double Wood: It's like this, last week at some "offline gathering" I met a young girl who looked like she was from a wealthy family, but she might have a kleptomania...]

[Nine Waters: She stole your underwear? That's probably a student from the nearby Jiangda Affiliated High School, your fan, who's been eyeing your good looks for a long time!]

[Double Wood:... No, she stole my bicycle keys and rode my bike away.]

[Nine Waters: Huh?]

[Double Wood: Yeah, and then as soon as I realized it, I chased after her and she locked the phone up again at the next intersection—that's why I said she might have a kleptomania!]

[Nine Waters:6]

[Nine Waters: This is absolutely ridiculous, but it actually sounds true.]

[Nine Waters: Let me check it out for you and see if I can find anything!]

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Shen Bingmiao's message.

With the president's help, finding "A Nian's" personal information wasn't like finding a needle in a haystack!
