Lin Xiuyi actually didn't participate in many friendships, and when he was a child, his family was not good, so naturally he didn't have any pocket money to ask girls out to play. Later, after I went to high school, I had to work at a fast food restaurant in my spare time, but I made a lot of friends because of it. Later, after going to university, Lin Xiuyi devoted all his energy to preparing for the judicial examination and the civil service examination. It was precisely because Lin Xiuyi worked so hard that he was lucky enough to pass the first-class civil service examination and become an elite bureaucrat.

The meeting place was Roppongi, which is famous for its nightlife and Westerners. Since most of the ladies who participated in this gathering were foreigners, it was a natural choice to choose this place.

In fact, Lin Xiuyi was pulled by Kono to make up the numbers. Maybe those foreign girls are interested in the Japanese-style friendship, so there are actually ten girls who come to participate in this friendship, and Kono can't find so many men for a while, so he has to pull Lin Xiuyi to mix. Because Kono knew that Lin Shuichi had the experience of living in the United States, his English level was still okay, enough to cope with today's scene.

"Shuichichi-kun, let me introduce you, these are all colleagues from our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there is also a lady from the Ministry of Justice joining us today, because there is also a foreign male attending our event tonight, hey, you see...... She came while she was talking!"

Kono took Lin Shuichi and was about to introduce him to the colleague from the Ministry of Justice, but Lin Shuichi suddenly stood in place.

"Xiu Yijun, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Jingzi was also surprised when she saw Lin Xiuyi, but she quickly regained her composure and nodded to Lin Xiu in greeting.

"Jingzi, long time no see!" Lin Xiuyi also reacted quickly, he returned a salute to Jingzi, and greeted him lukewarmly.

"You ...... Acquaintance!" Kono asked as he pretended to be surprised, in fact, he had already heard that Lin Shuichi had a close relationship with Minister Ando of the Ministry of Justice, but after really contacting Lin Shuichi for a while, Kono felt that this rumor was really groundless. And this time in the friendship event, Kono contacted Minister Ando's trusted Nagao Keiko through various relationships, but he didn't expect Nagao Keiko to know Lin Shuichi. From this point of view, this rumor still has some basis.

"We used to be neighbors, and we worked together almost every day for a while!" Keiko smiled and answered Kono's question, then said goodbye to the two and went to talk to the others.

After Keiko left, Kono Shohei quickly pulled Lin Xiuyi aside, and then asked Lin Xiuyi excitedly: "Say, do you two have a leg!"

"Why, you like her!" Lin Xiu asked as soon as he heard Kono's tone, feeling a little strange.

"It's not that I like her, she's the head of Minister Ando's secretarial section, and she's the most trusted subordinate, do you know what it means to be in a relationship with her?"

Kono didn't go around in circles with Lin Xiu, his goal in life is very clear, that is, to climb up desperately, as high as he can climb. So building up contacts is absolutely crucial for Kono. The Ando faction now occupies two important ministries in the cabinet, the Ministry of Justice and the Public Safety Commission, and if they can join the Ando faction, Kono's future path will be much easier.

"I advise you to be careful, this woman...... It's not easy to deal with at all!" Lin Xiuyi said with feeling.

"What do you mean?" asked Kono, knowingly.

"In many ways, it's not the aspect you think about anyway......" Lin Xiuyi said mysteriously.

The time of the friendship was set at about eight o'clock in the evening, and the people who came early soon chatted together in groups of three or five. The bar is now fully covered. This amount of money is still not a problem for the elite bureaucracy. After all, many of the people who came to participate in this gathering were diplomats and their relatives, so it is still necessary to pay attention to privacy.

The procedures of the friendship are actually similar, strange men and women find a place to sit together, everyone introduces each other, and then do a few games to the atmosphere, and so on after the friendship is over, men and women who have a good impression of each other can continue to contact. However, since today's friendship is arranged in a bar that Westerners like, all kinds of games have a lot to do with alcohol.

Sitting opposite Lin Xiu were all blonde beauties, and the most outstanding of them were Ingrid, a female staff member of the Swedish Ambassador's Residence, and Sophie, the daughter of an official of the French Embassy.

The game of friendship is a first impression game, that is, everyone says an interesting characteristic, such as which man best fits your aesthetics, etc., and then counts one, two, three, and everyone points to the person who they think best fits this characteristic, and the person who gets the most votes drinks. And then the reverse goes from the man to the woman, and so on.

"Okay, girls, now please choose the most absent-minded man in the room!one, two, three!"

After three countdowns, Lin Xiuyi was selected without surprise. So he stood up happily, and the bartender brought him a glass of depth charge, and after Lin Xiuyi knocked down the small glass, he raised the wine glass and drank it all without dragging his water. Lin Xiuyi's joy won a burst of cheers from the ladies present.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please choose the lady who smells the most special!"

After the same three countdowns, Sophie got the highest vote in the audience! Sophie also stood up generously, took a glass of Margaret handed by the bartender, and drank it all, and then the audience remembered a round of applause again.

"Choose the most boring man!"

"Please choose the lady with the longest legs!"

"Please choose the youngest man you think!"

……

I have to say that Kono is indeed a rare master of atmosphere management, and the atmosphere of the scene was very well mobilized by him, and everyone played round after round, and everyone drank a lot of wine. At the end of the day, everyone involved had a feeling of unfinished business.

Time passed so fast that the frenzied crowd didn't have to end until the bar closed, and the night was completely relaxed for both men and women. Until the end, when Kono arranged for every man to send a lady home, Nagao Keiko took the initiative to stop Lin Shuichi.

"Shuichi-kun, can you send me home if it's convenient? I live not far from here, in the Higashi-Akasaka apartment!"

Jingzi pretended not to see a foreign boy walking towards him, she walked straight to Lin Xiuyi's side and said to him, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
