Chapter 826: Chapter 821: Laziness Crawls Up Your Spine

As a former professional agent, it was somewhat unrealistic for Guan Lili not to concoct schemes targeting Song Lan, who himself was like a treasure trove, especially since this matter was closely related to the purpose of Song Lan’s trip.

Valerian, a member of the promotional department of the Law Enforcers in The Seventeenth Region, was also a direct subordinate of Song Lan.

What made it even better was that Valerian was a loyal audience of the "Master of Rescuers" program, undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

Her meaning was, why not promote someone within the company?

Although she felt that the old man was probably going to fall this time, his death, just like Mikaela’s, would bring some chaos, after which the company’s affairs would return to their original track.

Kolo Film Industry was like a precise instrument with its own consciousness, unaffected by the absence of any one person in its operation.

Perhaps the old man should be comforted by this.

Their generation would eventually leave the historical stage, yet the fruits of their lifetimes would continue to operate.

With this thought, Guan Lili dialed Song Lan’s phone.

The phone took a long time to be answered, and the tone of the other party revealed deep fatigue and weakness.

She thought about it and understood.

After all, "Black Sand" was also a combatant-type Five Stars rescuer; even someone as strong as Song Lan had to expend considerable energy to take him down.

"Director Guan, is there something you need?"

Song Lan’s inquiry came through the phone, on top of which Guan Lili heard some unclear, indistinct noises, akin to sounds produced by skin rubbing.

In fact, as soon as she heard the words "Director Guan," Lu Xiang immediately became highly alert.

She remembered that when Yeying reported this woman first met Song Lan, she was touchy-feely, her index finger drawing circles on Song Lan’s chest as she silently listened to the content of the phone.

"I think we can strengthen our cooperation,"

Guan Lili stated her purpose directly, "I mean you, me, and Kolo Film Industry."

"What kind of cooperation are you referring to?"

"’Master of Rescuers,’ we just happen to be in need of an excellent mentor."

This was Guan Lili’s plan, to ensure the safety of the program’s participants; there was no more effective way than inviting Song Lan to serve as a mentor. Unfortunately, the executives at Kolo Film Industry hadn’t grasped this concept, as they were currently desperately trying to deal with a civil assassin organization that had emerged from nowhere.

"I’m not suited for this role."

Song Lan immediately refused.

An expected response, yet Lu Xiang almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She could clearly hear the conversation between the two and observed that when Guan Lili made the invitation, Song Lan’s expression became similar to a very popular meme online featuring an old man on the subway.

But everyone maintained their dignity.

Refusing is refusing, Song Lan tried to put it gently, "Director Guan, I’ve also been a longstanding audience of ’Master of Rescuers.’ I know each mentor in every episode is a renowned Five Stars rescuer. I’m just a clerical staff member from the Seventeenth Region Law Enforcers Department."

As for the lack of an excellent mentor, that was definitely false.

Becoming a mentor on "Master of Rescuers" was an honor for national-level rescuers. Apart from regular mentors like Sean Grant, each season sees the introduction of new celebrities to the program as mystery guests.

He believed that as soon as Guan Lili released the news, within minutes, the phones of those national-level rescuers’ agents would ring off the hook.

Even counting the previous promotional videos, he was, at most, equivalent to a Three Stars rescuer, clearly not enough to serve as a mentor in a high-profile program like "Master of Rescuers."

Even due to the subsequent turmoil after the consolidation of the joint government, the promotional films Kolo Film Industry shot as required by the Review Meeting failed to make much of a splash.

In 2167, people forgot things much faster than Song Lan imagined; the debacle of the Great Expedition had long been pushed to the back of their minds, and now their casual conversations revolved around the defection from the High-level Parliament and the current political landscape. You could pull up any anonymous internet nickname with a string of nonsensical English, and their attitude in discussing state matters was just like a real politician’s.

"I understand, I know you don’t want this to impact your life, so my initial idea was for you to participate in our program in the guise of Rob Lucci, Head of the Highest Operations Department of Military Intelligence Section Seven."

The mysterious head of department CP0, this gimmick would undoubtedly max out the audience’s expectations.

Guan Lili, having heard about the disturbances in The Second and The First Region, naturally guessed the true identity of this mysterious director.

"As a return, we can ensure that your subordinate Valerian wins this program, and Kolo Film Industry will arrange the necessities for the rest of your team. It’s rare for you all to come to The Fourth Region; it wouldn’t be convenient to always stay at someone else’s place, right?"

She offered a very tempting condition.

Seeing Song Lan fall into silence, she added, "Of course, regarding the compensation, we definitely won’t shortchange you—It would be consistent with the current going rate for frontline national-level rescuers."

Song Lan had to admire Guan Lili’s smooth talk.

Under this offensive, his firm intent to refuse began to waver, and suddenly two different voices appeared in his mind. Reason told him the terms were generous, and considering the rising housing prices in the Seventeenth Region, the compensation for frontline national-level rescuers was even more appealing.
