The address of this business gathering is in a large hotel that has just opened in W City.

To say that the economy of W City has been weak in recent years - although W City seems to have a good growth rate on the surface, in fact, it unconsciously shows a kind of fatigue of follow-up. One of the major tasks of the current Chinese government is to develop the economy. The policy of the central government is basically that the economic development situation determines the official hat - good economic development means that the work is done well and the promotion can be expected, and vice versa, the economic development is not good...... Then the consequences are difficult to predict. This has given the government great pressure and great motivation, and there is basically no region where the top and second leaders do not care about economic issues.

That's why they care a lot about this foreign investor, who is said to bring in a lot of investment. In order to keep this investment here in W City, officials big and small have tried their best in the real sense. The most suitable time, the best place, and the most satisfactory personnel were chosen...... Thus expressing the utmost sincerity.

But to be honest, when Lu Wu came in, he didn't feel good.

Although the hotel has just opened, it is really impeccable in terms of décor. Even if it's not splendid, at least it's magnificent and ingenious. There are a lot of details that can make people's eyes shine.

However, a little too many people came.

That's right, there are a lot of people coming...... I can't say why, but it does feel like it's messy. It seems that when the relevant departments issued the invitation letter, they did not think too much about it, probably in the spirit of burning incense when entering the temple and bowing down when they saw the Buddha, and completely using a bureaucratic way of thinking to deal with the problem.

And the problem is not just that there are too many people. There is a strong sense of incongruity...... How to put it, in fact, what must be said is a bit nondescript. There are great differences in styles and habits between China and foreign countries. For example, if the Chinese are at the dinner table, a circle of people around the table eating, drinking and discussing, it is easy to complete a transaction. Such cases are not uncommon, but they are much rarer. In fact, they eat separately and rarely eat together like the Chinese.

On the one hand, there were some food snacks in the form of a buffet, but there were few tables and chairs for eating, and on the other hand, there was a band to cheer up, but the dance floor was small. I don't know what this "party" is for, it's not a dinner party, it's not a dance, it seems that it's just to bring a group of people here. This feeling is not at all like what Ren Jian said, a fund under a multinational consortium of a certain foreign country to find partners, and so on. Regardless of the rest, all I saw back and forth were Chinese with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

I don't quite understand this weird arrangement.

This doesn't look like an ordinary gathering to get closer to each other, but if you want to talk about the business atmosphere or something, even a layman like Lu Wu can't feel it at all.

Of course, it may just be that the level of the relevant officials in charge is not enough, and the matter is just made into a four-way dislike.

Just when Lu Wu was going around this venue, intending to take a look at the situation, he suddenly heard a greeting.

"Lu Wu?!" A young man came out of the spur and stood in front of Lu Wu.

Li ...... Pingfu?" Lu Wu didn't expect to see Li Pingfu here. But when I think about it, I feel that things are normal. When I was studying, everyone knew that Li Pingfu's father was rich. Although he doesn't know the details, he can only know in a few words that his father seems to be the chairman and general manager of a certain group, but the famous cars he drives to the campus from time to time are true. Everyone knows that he can be regarded as a rich second generation. And not only that, although some of Li Pingfu's practices are not used to being looked down upon by his classmates, he is actually very influential in school. Well, it's basically the same level as Ren Jian, it's hard to say about different grades, and almost everyone in the same grade knows it.

However, Ren Jian's influence comes from his fact that he actually sells rotten fruits (buying rotten fruits from the market for almost no money, and cutting the best parts of them to make fruit platters) to the girls' dormitory, while Li Pingfu's influence comes from his extravagance and arrogance. It is said that he did several things that could have been kicked out of the campus, but in the end he waited until graduation without incident.

As mentioned earlier, although it seems that only about a year has passed on the surface, in fact, Lu Wu has been in the other world for several years. As a philosopher said: time can erase all impressions. The conflict in the past is now quite vague in Lu Wu's heart. And he doesn't hate Li Pingfu for messing with his civil service exam - to be honest, if there is no such thing, I don't know where Lu Wu will go now, but there is definitely no such realm as he is now.

A small civil servant, even if he is very favored by the leadership, cannot achieve anything after working for a year or two. In fact, one year is the "probationary period" required by the state. In other words, if everything is normal, then Lu Wu has just become a full-fledged national civil servant not long ago, and the Long March has only taken the first step.

And let alone a year or two, even if you work for a lifetime, you will climb to the height of provincial-level cadres (as for national-level cadres, the possibility is too low, and Lu Wu, who has no background backing, has no ambition at all, even in the most narcissistic situation.) In fact, even high-ranking officials and cadres can already be classified as "delusional"), and it is impossible to stop worrying about finances, life and other issues as they do now, and take "changing the world" as their life goal. should be like everyone else, unconsciously rubbed off by this world and this society, and become mediocre and mediocre. Of course, even if he really had good luck, at least his life dream of "becoming an adventurer" would definitely be thrown into the Marina Trench.

The so-called loss of the horse is the best metaphor for this situation.

"It's really you, Lu Wu!" Li Pingfu's face was definitely the kind of surprise that "met an old acquaintance in a foreign country". Whether it was a pretend or an instinctive reaction, at least on the surface, he seemed to have completely forgotten the conflict of the year. "Why are you here?"

"That...... I have an invitation letter...... "Lu Wu didn't know what to say about this, so he could only answer vaguely.

"Invitations, really, indeed. Li Pingfu happily stood beside Lu Wu and looked around. "This time there are really a lot of invitations, and it is said that as long as there is a little bit of strength, the group will receive the invitation. ”

Lu Wu noticed that although Li Pingfu was looking around, a large part of his attention was actually focused on himself. The object of this attention is not really to him as a person, but to his clothes.

The suit on his body was a famous brand that had just been made - Lu Wu didn't know how they made it in one night. He could only guess that in fact, people had already made the same style of clothing, but it needed to be fine-tuned according to the details of the human body. This night is actually the time for this fine-tuning.

It's a brand new outfit, and even some of the corners are still angular, and haven't been softened by human wear. From these details, it can be inferred that this dress is worn for the first time, and it is estimated that it will only be a matter of a few hours to wear it.

“…… And each company has not received one or two invitations. Li Pingfu continued to look around while smiling and talking. "So you see, there's a lot of people here, too many. Because there are too many attendants coming. He looked at Lu Wu again. "Which boss did you come with the boss?"

He didn't know anything about Lu Wu's situation. Of course, this is also the proper meaning, as a rich second generation, new to the shopping mall, he has too many things to learn, to experience, how can he have time to care about such a person who is not called an "enemy" at all? Besides, for him, time has only passed for almost a year, what can happen to a person in a year? Speaking of heaven, the biggest limit is only winning the 5 million lottery.

However, this period of study and practice still made him a little vigilant. In recent years, parents still have different types of education methods for their children. There are people who are as pampered as he is, and even let him drive a famous car to the school to show off, but there are also very strict ones - it is said that many people would never have imagined that they would have such a high background until they actually reported their home. And it is said, it is only said that the higher the level, the more it will restrain the children. In the final analysis, Lu Wu is a student from other places after all, and although he behaves very ordinary, Li Pingfu doesn't know his heels at all.

If Lu Wu suddenly explained that his father was a provincial high-ranking official in XX Province, or his mother was the chairman of XX Group, or both...... Although this possibility is low, it cannot be said that it is none.

But this time, Lu Wu's clothes completely exposed his hole cards. Because he can clearly see that whether Lu Wu's suit was rented or not, at least it was not long ago when he wore it on his body.

A normal businessman, unless it is his first appearance, will never prepare new clothes without a set of formal clothes. However, it has been about a year since they graduated, and if Lu Wu's family is very powerful and supports his activities here in W City, then this is by no means the first time that Lu Wu has appeared in public.

So the final answer is very obvious, Lu Wu is obviously an employee of a small company, and it is estimated that he should be a secretary or something else, accompanying the boss.

To put it bluntly, too many invitations have been sent out. It was not one unit that issued one, but several.

"I came on my own. Lu Wu had already heard the mockery in Li Pingfu's words. However, as mentioned before, the timelines of the two sides are not equal. One year has passed, and the other has passed four or five years. If Li Pingfu still remembers that gambling loss and caused him to lose face, Lu Wu no longer remembers that he was disrupted by the other party in the civil service examination. Lu Wu didn't want to say anything to the other party anymore.

"You came by yourself?" Li Ping calmed down, this answer was unexpected.

"Isn't it okay? Ren Jian and I started a small company. Lu Wu said lightly. Before coming over, Ren Jian said that he might also come, but he really hadn't seen him yet.

"Small company. This can be reasonably explained. After all, the invitation this time is not strict, which means that any cat or dog can come to this party. And Ren Jian is also quite famous (although not a good reputation), to say that he opened a small company or something within a year after graduation by means such as abducting and abducting empty gloves and white wolves, at least it will not be surprising. Of course, it is normal for him to choose Lu Wu as his partner - these two people are originally the type of person who smells like each other.

On the side, a figure walked over in a curling manner.

It was a young woman with long wavy hair and a sexy cheongsam that set off her seductive figure. As for appearance, by the standards of ordinary people, even if it can't be said to be above ninety, at least it is in the early eighties. She stood beside Li Pingfu and leaned her hands on Li Pingfu's shoulders.

The smile on Li Pingfu's face widened. "Lu Wu, let me introduce, my secretary...... Of course, it's also a girlfriend, Xue Xiaoxia. His hand was very affectionately around Xiaoxia's waist.

Lu Wu vaguely remembered that when he had just graduated, Li Pingfu seemed to be accompanied by a girl, or a young lady, and his impression was not very clear, but it was obviously not the one in front of him.

Is this a boring show-off?

Lu Wu pursed his lips in his heart. But to say that this kind of show-off is actually very useful, and if you change someone, it should create a kind of humiliation and pain in the heart of the weak. But for the current Lu Wu, he is completely indifferent. But no matter what, he didn't want to continue chatting with Li Pingfu at all. This place is big enough and there are enough people, if it weren't for the chance bumping into it, I guess I wouldn't be able to find it. It's easier if you deliberately want to hide.

"I've got something, get out of here. Lu Wu used the most classic, but also the most effective way to say goodbye. He didn't know how much money Li Pingfu and his family had, but he was sure that no amount of money was as much as his own—if he really wanted to get money.

"Lu Wu," a voice sounded from behind, and Lu Wu turned around and saw Amber coming. "How did you meet friends?"
