"Mr. Lin Qi, it is an honor to see you again!"
Asier lowered his head respectfully, stepped forward, and extended both hands to clasp Lin Qi's. Lin Qi led the handshake, shaking twice before immediately letting go.
A life of ups and downs had given Asier an exceedingly clear understanding of life, society, wealth, and power.
Only those who possessed money and power could be considered people.
Without those things, a person could not be called a person. According to the terminology of Biology, they should be called animals instead!
Lin Qi did not feel much about Asier's attitude of having seen through life.
People either spent their entire lives failing to understand what life was.
Or they saw through it early.
Actually, someone like Asier, who only saw through it in his forties, was slightly late.
It was precisely because he was late that he carried that air of decline.
He then led Asier into the room, stopping in the Living Room.
"You know, you're one of the local people I trust most here."
"Compared to others, I prefer the way you handle things."
Asier was slightly agitated. The change in his emotions showed on his face, but he did not speak. This was not the right time for him to say anything.
Lin Qi paused for a moment as he spoke, as though brewing something and thinking it over. "I haven't been to Nagaril for some time, and I haven't paid much attention to things here. I've noticed that some things are becoming unfamiliar."
"I heard an interesting piece of news. Some local Labor Companies are demanding longer working hours!"
"I've never heard of that happening before!"
Asier's mind began working rapidly. He understood what Lin Qi meant. As a local, and a somewhat well-known one at that,
