Huang Quan was also quite puzzled:
"This is my room... Did I go to the wrong room? This shouldn't be the case. I checked the room number several times before I spoke to you..."
Huang Quan thought for a moment: "Could it be that the room number... no, the building number is also wrong? Sorry, this hotel is too big."
The corridors are also laid out similarly, and it's easy to get lost if you're not careful..."
Xing fell into deep thought... something felt off...
"Anyway, I might have made a mistake, and I should go back to my room."
"Please wait." Jiang Lin said calmly as he looked at Huang Quan, who was about to leave.
"Is there anything else, sir?"
Huang Quan also looked at Jiang Lin, but after a short while, she frowned slightly...
"Jiang Lin, you can call me that. I'd like to discuss some collaboration with you..."
After a brief introduction, Jiang Lin got straight to the point.
“Jiang Lin…I vaguely remember him, but that’s not important. As for cooperation, I’d like to give you an answer after I’ve accomplished my purpose in coming to Pinocene.”
Huang Quan thought about it for a moment, neither agreeing nor refusing outright.
"Aren't you going to ask what kind of cooperation it is?"
Huang Quan shook his head slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Whatever it may be, I want to accomplish this goal first."
Jiang Lin nodded:
"Sure, I'm usually more patient with someone special like you. But... don't stand me up. Trust me, after I see you this time, I'll find a way to find you again."
Huang Quan nodded and left.
Jiang Lin glanced at Xing, and Xing looked back at Jiang Lin...
"Remember to close the door next time."
After leaving those words, Jiang Lin departed.
Xing blinked and muttered helplessly:
"I want it too……"
Not long after Jiang Lin left, a member of his family found him...
“Mr. Jiang Lin, Mr. Sunday has invited you... Please go alone to the appointment.”

Chapter 50 Meeting Sunday
Jiang Lin thought for a moment, then said to the family member:
"Lead the way."
The family member led Jiang Lin to an elegant reception area.
“Mr. Sunday is inside, please come in.”
Jiang Lin didn't say much. After glancing around briefly, he pushed the door open and went inside.
"Welcome, Mr. Jiang Lin."
Upon hearing the noise on Sunday, he spoke up immediately before looking up towards the doorway.
"You don't need to say anything more. I have something to ask you."
Jiang Lin replied calmly.
Sunday nodded and gestured for Jiang Lin to proceed.
"Please have a seat. It's better to discuss some things slowly."
Jiang Lin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly opposite Sunday.
"Tell me about your situation first. Why did you choose to come to me in real life, in Pinocchio?"
Jiang Lin went straight to the point and asked a question that was neither too big nor too small.
On Sunday, he wore a standard smile and spoke in a calm and gentle tone:
“Some things are indeed not suitable to be discussed after entering a dream, and... the traces left in a dream may be more obvious to certain people than in reality.”
Jiang Lin nodded, somewhat satisfied with the answer.
Then, on Sunday, his smile faded, and he spoke in a very serious tone and with a very solemn expression:
“I hope Mr. Jiang Lin can leave Pinocone temporarily.”
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow: "What's the reason?"
"These are special times for Pinocchio... There are some things that are not convenient to say too clearly."
Jiang Lin smiled slightly, and what he said next almost made Sunday tense up instantly.
"You're worried that I'll ruin your so-called dream of Taiyi, aren't you?"
Sunday's tone at this point clearly betrayed disbelief:
"How did you find out about this? The Oak family is united; there is no way a traitor could exist within them."
Having said all that, Sunday knew there was no point in continuing to hide it.
So he promptly asked another question.
Jiang Lin shook his head:
"That's not important, at least not to me. What's important is why I should agree to your offer? What will I get in return?"
Sunday quickly calmed down, and his elite upbringing from a young age allowed him to grasp the crux of the problem.
"You mean... Oh... I understand."
I heard that you've recently been collecting some artifacts related to the Star Gods...
If you are willing to cooperate, I can temporarily entrust you with the safekeeping of the box containing the foundation stone that the company envoy handed over.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin's eyes lit up, but he still chose to increase his bet...
“Okay, but that’s not enough. I also want his bag of cash as a gift.”
Upon hearing this on Sunday, he seemed to have guessed something... and tentatively spoke up:
"Is there a problem with his wedding gift?"
Jiang Lin did not answer his question.
But Jiang Lin's silence speaks volumes.
Sunday sighed and looked at Jiang Lin:
"If it were another cornerstone... wouldn't it be a bit unfair that two cornerstones would only get you a temporary departure?"
Shouldn't we add some other chips to the other side of the scale?
"No, I think it's fair. As far as I know, your Taiyi Dream isn't fully prepared yet, is it?"
Dominix, the embodiment of harmony, has not been usurped by you.
If I wanted to, I could nip your plans in the bud right now.
All you need to do is sacrifice two stones that are useless to you, and this plan will go smoothly—a sure win, isn't it?
Sunday's tone also turned cold as he stared intently at Jiang Lin across from him:
What makes you think you can do it?
Jiang Lin sneered: "Heh, I can prove it to you, but... you need to think carefully about the price you'll pay for doing this."
Or... do you also want to take a gamble, like that company's ambassador?
As soon as Jiang Lin said this,
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, but no one dared to speak first.
In the next room, a Pipisi listened to the contents of his headphones with a gloomy look in his eyes. After a long silence, he used a special secret method to transmit the sound into Sunday's mind.
"Promise him."
On Sunday, who was confronting Jiang Lin, he sighed after hearing a voice in his mind.
"Fine, we agree. We will sign the agreement in the presence of Tong Xie."
Two cornerstones, in exchange for your temporary departure from Pinocchio.
Jiang Lin laughed at this moment:
"Your goal is simply to prevent me from interfering with the progress of Taiyi's Dream. I can do that, so perhaps the terms of the contract can be made more flexible and adaptable."
On Sunday, he frowned, but still patiently asked:
"Appreciate further details."
“I can promise you I won’t interfere with your plans, but I want to stay in Pinocchio.”
"This is a condition you added on the spot to your advantage. To be fair, shouldn't you also add some leverage on our side?"
On Sunday, he spoke harshly, arguing his case forcefully.
Jiang Lin nodded:
"If your plan is fully exposed, which is inevitable, then based on my understanding of the Star Train, they will definitely stop you."
If their will is at a disadvantage in their confrontation with you, then I will take them away voluntarily, clearing the final obstacle for your plans.
After thinking for a moment on Sunday, he asked:
"The Star Train is known for its enthusiasm; they are heroes traveling through the galaxy. Why would you think they would oppose my ideas?"
Jiang Lin said calmly:
"You expect a bunch of unemployed people to understand your seven-day weekend?"
