Shi Yitong also introduced Li Yu to several colleagues from the business departnt, and they exchanged business cards.
Li Yu observed that employees from the sa country or region still tended to interact more with people from their own country or region.
Previously, he had always thought that the headquarters of the Third Era were in the office building where he first went for an interview.
But in fact, according to Shi Yitong, that place could only be considered the headquarters for the China, while there were similar headquarters in other parts of the world.
The Third Era had a total of five regional headquarters, and the number of employees in the marketing departnt was always maintained at around fifty.
This ant that the company was extracting faith from fifty different universes at the sa ti.

Han Bin was not feeling well at the mont, having just witnessed a murder—and even crazier events were to follow.
Even though the victim had been pierced through the body with a blade, not a single drop of blood had been spilled, and the body had subsequently turned into a wooden sculpture resembling a Mummy.
At this ti, the nearby waiters finally ca over, and two of them together moved the wooden sculpture with a fruit knife sticking out of its chest out of the living room.
Another waiter went over and placed a new fruit knife on the fruit plate.
By then, the baby had been coaxed to sleep.
anwhile, Han Bin’s ears were still filled with conversations that sounded absurd to him.
For example, an Italian was asking his companion how the faith inco for the last month had been.
Though both were speaking in Italian, Han Bin, who knew nothing of Italian, could sohow understand their aning.
Ever since entering the living room, Han Bin’s temples had been throbbing, and sweat had almost soaked through his shirt.
Han Bin felt that his ntal limit was nearly reached; although he still had not found Tang ngjia, he decided to leave this eerie place and go out for so fresh air.
After making up his mind, Han Bin began to move toward the door, but just then, a sowhat familiar figure walked in from outside.
Han Bin’s pupils contracted; he recognized the newcor as the HR from the Third Era, the woman nad Xu ngyuan.
The latter also spotted him.
Fortunately, they had not t before, and Han Bin had only collected so information about Xu ngyuan in private, so she should not recognize him at the mont.
So Han Bin continued to pretend to be a waiter, going to serve drinks to another table of guests, but halfway there, Xu ngyuan called out to him.
"You, co upstairs with ," she said.
"Upstairs?" Han Bin was taken aback at her words.
"That’s right," Xu ngyuan seed to have so urgent matter, and she had already stepped forward and walked on, not giving Han Bin a chance to refuse.
Han Bin hesitated for a mont, but then followed her.
Of course, the mansion would not only have this one living room; from the southwest corner, one could continue to the second floor.
The two of them, one after the other, made their way through the busy living room and up the winding staircase to a small bar outside.
Xu ngyuan went straight in, and Han Bin followed closely after her, but to his surprise, the bar was deserted and there were no other people.
Xu ngyuan went behind the bar, took an empty glass, and asked Han Bin, "What will you have?"
At that mont, Han Bin’s brain was racing, contemplating how a real waiter would respond.
However, before he could speak, he heard Xu ngyuan continue, "How do you feel?"
"Feel about what?"
Xu ngyuan opened a bottle of whiskey, sniffed it under her nose, and then poured half a glass, adding a bit of red pogranate syrup, li juice, and soda water.
"You’ve been standing down there for so long. You must have so thoughts, Officer Han."
Han Bin felt his heart sink instantly when he heard the last three words.
"You know ?"
"Of course," Xu ngyuan swirled the glass gently, then sliced two pieces of lemon and placed them on the rim before pushing the newly mixed Daisy towards Han Bin.
"Two months ago, didn’t you send a girl nad Hao Xiaoxiao to investigate our company? Of course, I would do a bit of howork too."
Han Bin caught the glass of Daisy but did not drink it. This wasn’t a TV show – in unfamiliar places, one obviously couldn’t drink sothing of unknown origin.
Seeing this, Xu ngyuan smiled slightly, "It seems Officer Han has a deep misunderstanding about us. We are a law-abiding company and do not engage in illegal activities."
"Save those lies. I’ve heard too many of them," Han Bin said. "Just now, I saw a murder case downstairs."
"Really? You must have doubted it yourself whether what was pierced by the flying knife was really a person. And not long ago, you attacked a Magic Automaton, locking it in the trunk.
"If that were really a person, I’m afraid it would be a bad end for you..."
"You don’t need to threaten ," Han Bin said coldly. "I’ve had enough of your magic tricks.
"Since you knew I was coming so early, then everything that happened before must have been arranged by you, with the purpose of disrupting my thinking, making believe I had gone mad."
"No, I didn’t expect you to co... otherwise, I would have stopped you early on," Xu ngyuan sighed. "Among the three basic assumptions of economics, there is one called the economic man assumption.
"It assus that every individual is rational, seeking benefit and avoiding harm. All economic theories and deductions are based on this assumption, but the behavior of human individuals is always uncontrollable.
"What on earth are you trying to say after such a big roundabout?" Han Bin said impatiently. "If you want to make a move, just do it directly, stop beating around the bush."
"What I’m trying to say is, sneaking in here tonight has brought you no benefit. What drove you to make such a decision?"
"I am a police officer," Han Bin said. "It’s my duty to catch bad people, like you."
Xu ngyuan nodded, "Justice, one of the most basic and precious virtues of mankind. Co with ."
"Where to?" Han Bin said warily.
"You ca here tonight looking for soone, right? I have asked for her permission, and she is also willing to et you to clear up the misunderstandings between us."
"Tang ngjia, she really isn’t dead and is here!" Han Bin’s face darkened upon hearing this.
Xu ngyuan shook her head gently.
Then she led Han Bin to another guest room. Xu ngyuan knocked on the door, and a young girl’s voice ca from inside, "Co in."
It was a standard British accent.
Xu ngyuan opened the door and led Han Bin inside, where he imdiately saw the Indian young man who had previously driven the Aston Martin.
He was now on all fours, crouching on the ground, with a young girl sitting on his back with an authoritative expression.
She appeared to be about eleven or twelve years old, with a typical Anglo-Saxon appearance, wearing a luxurious princess dress that fell to her ankles.
