Chapter 36

What is this?

An additional attack?

Lin Qi stroked Numby's head; the little guy didn't hurt him but was acting cute with him.

"Just enough materials left, I'll feed them all to you."

Saying this.

Lin Qi took out the extra materials from modifying Xueyi, which were some shiny special metals.

But it just so happened that these were Numby's favorites.

"Numby! I told you to go beat him up, why did you rebel as soon as you went up? Come back here!" Topaz said angrily.

"Oink~" Numby twisted twice.

"Not coming back? You little ungrateful wolf, how many meals has he fed you?"

"Oink oink oink~"

"What? The things he feeds are tastier? I'm really pissed off!"

At this moment.

Topaz felt the sky had fallen.

Jade, who had watched a good show, spoke at the right time.

"Alright, you two have exchanged enough pleasantries. Let's finish the serious business first, and you two can chat slowly later."

Saying this, she looked at Lin Qi.

"Dr. Lin, the company is very interested in your new invention."

"If it weren't for the fact that Topaz and I are more familiar with you, the ones visiting the Luo Fu this time might have been higher-ranking executives."

"I say so much, not with any other meaning, but simply to tell you the importance the company attaches to this matter."

"For this, the company has offered the following terms. Dr. Lin can listen to them and then see if you are satisfied."

Jade paused and continued.

"First, Dr. Lin can return to the company. The company has arranged a new position for you, with full responsibility for matters related to the Anywhere Door, rank... P47."

Seeking flowers, seeking ratings.

32. Lin Qi: The conditions are good, but I refuse.

A new position? Starting at P47?

Once these words were spoken.

Before Lin Qi could even speak, none of the company commissioners nearby were not shocked.

What is the concept of P47?

In terms of the company's current ranks, it's almost at the top.

After all, P50 is the Chairman, the Amber Lord, which is the Aeon of Preservation—Qlipoth.

P49 are the two founders of the company.

Although these three cannot be replaced, they almost never show up and haven't managed things for a long time.

Therefore.

Those who truly hold the company's power are the P48 board directors, as well as the P47s who can also manage a department.

Jade and Topaz's direct superior—Diamond—is at this level.

That is to say.

As long as Lin Qi is willing to return to the company, his status will be higher than both of them.

Jade didn't stop and continued.

"Dr. Lin, the terms offered by the company go far beyond this."

"The board of directors has passed a resolution to grant you unlimited dividend rights. Whether it is this Anywhere Door or any curiosity in the future, you can receive 30% of the profits, and the term is forever."

"In addition, Director A-Po-Li told me that when she steps down in the future, you can succeed her position, and after you join, you will be directly granted partial real power."

"How is it? Is the Doctor satisfied with the terms offered by the company?"

After listening to Jade, Lin Qi didn't speak immediately.

Even he had to admit that the company was very sincere.

Even the last one, the possibility of succeeding A-Po-Li's position in the future, was not entirely an empty check.

As the head of the Technical Research Department, A-Po-Li is the actual controller of the Genius Society. Even if only part of the power is split, it is enough to make people's hearts beat faster.

Lin Qi, who had stayed in the Genius Society for a period of time, knew the value of it very well.

Not to mention there were so many benefits before that.

It is no exaggeration to say.

This is a term that almost everyone cannot refuse.

"Lin Qi, what are you waiting for? If it were me, I would have agreed readily!"

Topaz urged.

There was a bit of expectation in her tone.

If Lin Qi agrees, can we be colleagues again?

No!

This is a leader!

Lin Qi didn't reply to Topaz, but left her aside and looked at Jade, saying, "The company's sincerity is indeed impossible to refuse."

"But I refuse."

Unexpectedly, the expression on Jade's face had no surprise.

Neither did Topaz.

However, Jade still asked, "Why?"

"If I say that my ambition is not here, and I don't want to manage too many things, I just want to research technology, you certainly won't believe it." Lin Qi replied.

"Yes, the company has various plans that can help you realize your value, Doctor. Even if you don't participate in any management, your status will not decline. Moreover, the company doesn't mind having one more 'god'." Jade nodded.

"The reason is actually very simple..." Lin Qi's gaze sharpened, and he said again, "I don't like having anyone above me. As long as my strength allows, even an Aeon won't do."

"I see."

Jade sighed softly and nodded.

On the way here, she had discussed with Topaz whether these terms could move Lin Qi.

In the end, the two reached the same conclusion: no.

But they hadn't figured out the reason for Lin Qi's refusal.

After all, the company can solve the vast majority of problems, and the company can agree to the vast majority of conditions.

But the answer Lin Qi gave was something the company couldn't achieve.

You can't tell the Amber Lord to get up and let Lin Qi sit in his seat, right?

This is unrealistic.

However, it also shows from the side that when Lin Qi left the company, he judged that he could already deal with an Emanator, so there was no need to continue staying in the company.

After figuring this out, Jade continued to ask, "Dr. Lin, can I also understand that besides not joining the company, you won't join other forces either?"

"Yes."

After Lin Qi nodded, he added, "But I might create an organization."

"Is that so? If you establish it someday, you must inform the company. Maybe there will be something we can cooperate on."

Jade no longer cared about Lin Qi creating a force.

This is different from him joining other forces.

Other forces, even the Xianzhou, which cooperates a lot with the company, might have conflicts in the future.

Lin Qi's own force is different; you only need to maintain a good personal relationship with Lin Qi, and most of the problems will be solved.

Just like Herta.

Although she didn't get the most satisfactory result, it was within the acceptable range.

So Jade didn't ask again.

Instead, she turned around and said, "Little Yelena, leave the subsequent cooperation negotiations to you. As for an old person like me, I'd better not be an eyesore here."

"Eh, this is different from what we agreed on?"
