Li Lin raised his left hand, tied the watch strap around his wrist, and then quickly took it off to demonstrate its convenience to the interviewer.

The two old men put a monocle on their left eye sockets and looked at Li Lin's wrist with curiosity, while whispering to the person in the middle:

"What do you think?"

"Hmm...it's a novelty. It looks more practical than a pocket watch."

"I think this is a game-changer! Why didn't I think of doing this?"

"Let's not talk about the accuracy, just the fact that he can shrink such a large pocket watch into such a small piece shows that this guy is a talented person."

"It's just a little ugly. It would be fine if it were a little more beautiful... What do you think, Mr. Gillaman?"

Both old men turned to look at the middle-aged man.

"Indeed, it is somewhat so. If it is further improved, it may replace the pocket watch in the circulation among the nobility..." The middle-aged man stroked his beard, a gleam in his eyes. "Madam, what do you think?"

When he asked the middle-aged woman in the middle, the room suddenly became quiet, and even the breathing sounds could be heard clearly.

Li Lin's throat couldn't help but move.

Even the dumbest person can see that the woman in front of them is actually the head of the Gilaman family, and is also one of the councilors who openly holds the highest power in Piltover!

"Your name is Li Lin, right?" Councilman Jiraman folded his hands on the table, sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, and asked slowly.

Being stared at by those deep blue eyes that showed no emotion, Li Lin inexplicably felt an unprecedented pressure.

"Yes, Councillor Gilaman," he answered stiffly.

"Not bad, you actually recognized me." Councillor Gilaman smiled slightly. "Are you from Ionia?"

"Yes, my hometown is Presidium in Ionia. I came to Piltover four years ago."

When Li Lin said the name Presidium, he noticed that the expressions of the four men changed slightly.

"Four years ago?... Well, it's a good idea to leave that troubled land as soon as possible." Councillor Gilaman sighed softly.

Then she stood up, and the four men around her immediately stood up and took a step back.

With the crisp sound of high heels clicking against the marble floor, Councillor Jiraman came to Li Lin, took the watch from his hand and observed it for a long time.

"Very good design. I'll grant you approval. Go to Jace and get a 'patent application contract' and leave. We'll discuss your salary and labor contract after all the interviews are over."

The middle-aged woman pointed at the young man who asked the question first and returned the pocket watch to Li Lin.

Jace?

Li Lin looked at the young man who looked familiar to him in surprise, but his gaze did not stay on him for too long.

Councillor Jiraman was about to go back, but Li Lin hurriedly stopped her: "Please wait a moment... Councillor Jiraman, I have a few more designs here!"

"What else?" Councillor Gilaman showed a surprised expression on his face.

The middle-aged councillor behind the long table could no longer contain his excitement and came to her side, looking up and down at the young Ionian boy.

Li Lin moved quickly and took out a few more design drawings from his bag and handed them to Councillor Jiraman and her husband.

They first glanced at the drawings briefly, and then their expressions immediately became serious.

Bicycles, hand-cranked generators, electric lights, printing presses...

Time ticked by. After they had carefully read the drawings, the Jiraman couple looked at Li Lin in shock and said in unison:

"You designed all of this? What on earth do you do?!"

Li Lin paused for a moment and slowly said, "I'm just an ordinary mechanic..."
