Chapter 118: Dancing with Wolves
It seems that tonight is a big dinner party and a ball.
The banquet hall is located in the center of the main hall of the first entrance, and serves as a ballroom that extends to the southeast of the viewing room and the southwest side of the tea restaurant.
The orchestra and pianist were already seated on either side of the central staircase, playing soothing music, and the guests were chatting softly over a buffet of champagne and soft drinks.
When Wang Mei led Lan Yu down from the second floor, Lan Yu saw that the old guy was already in the tea restaurant, sitting in the middle of a couch facing the main hall, sipping a glass of wine alone, looking leisurely.
The legendary old water guy king, in fact, was born as an expert in the structure of the earth, and is a famous "professor and scholar", no matter from which angle you look at him, his image is that of a learned person, and it is almost unimaginable to associate him with the giant who steals and digs the earth's resources to make a living.
His rectangular face was fair, wrinkled much less than his age, and his nose wore a pair of elegant and noble gold-rimmed glasses.
He sat there and seemed to be motionless, but from the eyes that came out from behind the lenses, Lan Yu still felt that the cold cold air was mixed with some unfathomable insidiousness and cunning.
Lan Yu wanted to probe all kinds of secrets on him and around him, but it wasn't a day or two to get them. Lan Yu couldn't help but subconsciously pull the corner of her skirt, and firmly leaned towards the position where the old guy was sitting, following Wang Mei's steps.
Unexpectedly, this old guy, Lan Yu thought that she should call him Professor Wang, and when he saw Wang Mei and them coming down the stairs, he was very polite and stood up first:
"Hey, Chief Lan, look up for a long time."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, Lan Yu took it, shook hands with him, and replied respectfully:
"Where, where, Professor Wang. The opening schedule is tight, so I was able to visit you today, so please forgive the younger generation for not knowing the current affairs. ”
As soon as Wang Mei heard Lan Yu be so polite, she waved her hand and said:
"Hey, you need to be so polite! Otherwise, if you follow my name, call me uncle. ”
Lan Yu turned his head to look at the old guy's expression, only to see him laugh heartily and said:
"I'm more willing to dare!"
And it was Lan Yu who also pushed the boat down the river and called him:
"Uncle smiled."
"Hey, don't laugh, don't laugh. Come, sit, sit. ”
Lan Yu and Wang Mei sat on the sofa next to him. "Uncle Wang" began to talk happily about where the guests were coming from tonight, and made a point of pointing out that more than half of them were Alain's fox friends and dogs, and so on.
The sun had set and the hall was brightly lit.
The waiters shuttled among the guests, constantly bringing drinks and champagne, and Blue Feather also took a glass of champagne and drank it.
Now the music reminds everyone to start their first dance song.
At this time, Alain's mother came out of nowhere, she was dressed up in flowers, giggled and walked over and hugged Wang Mei, looked at Lan Yu again, and said with a smile:
"Hey, this beauty is Alain's classmate, it's really like a fairy, it seems that you are the protagonist tonight. Come old man, let's have a song first, and you'll dance with this girl in a while, I'm going to fight again at that table, ah, there's really no way. ”
The elderly couple went down to the dance floor and danced to start tonight's dance party.
It's all this time, and Alain has never appeared.
After the first dance was over, Blue Feather saw from afar that Alain's parents had not immediately returned to their seats, as if they were standing there talking about something. Lan Yu took the opportunity to go to the dressing room, she got up and walked to the mysterious door behind the staircase, and entered the dressing room on the other side.
Lan Yu found that in addition to the banquet hall space tonight, there was also a banquet dining room that he had entered in the afternoon, and then there was a kitchen, a backup room, and a dressing room. According to the European architectural specifications, this mysterious door should be an independent space for the owner, which is generally designed as a secret study and a corridor on the basement.
When he returned from the dressing room, Lan Yu had already made up his mind and thought of how to break into the study.
Lan Yu had just taken his seat, and his uncle had returned to his seat.
He said to Wang Mei:
"Xiaomei, where did this girl Alain go, why didn't she see me with you?"
"I guess she went to Ding Zhenmo again." Wang Mei said.
"Maybe, Ding Zhen didn't show up either. This stupid girl is going to be all day long, and I don't know what to do."
The old guy seems to be quite troubled by Alain's business.
At this time, the second dance music has begun, the old guy stood up and asked Lan Yu to dance, Lan Yu stood up generously and was invited off the dance floor.
"Lan Yu, when you arrive in country K, don't worry about your business, uncle's annual cargo volume is enough to support your liaison office for three years, and your performance in the department is also light." Uncle said.
"Then thank you uncle, I have always liked to travel, and this time I have time, and I can travel all over the world once a month."
Lan Yu deliberately showed off travel as one of her favorite activities, so that she would not arouse the suspicion of others if she disappeared for a day or two for a mission in the future.
"That's great, you can go around and play, and your uncle can sponsor you all the way."
In fact, this is a request from both the enemy and us, and the old guy intends to let this Lan Yu, who is still an outsider, not participate in the specific business of the liaison office, the more space they have to do their orders freely.
Lan Yu knew in his heart that he was just using their mentality to create more space and time for himself to perform tasks.
Therefore, at this time, Lan Yu showed a particularly grateful look, and she said:
"Thank you so much, uncle, I can't ask for it."
When they were halfway through the dance, Blue Feather saw Alain emerge from the crowd from a distance, looking in the direction of Blue Feather. Lan Yu deliberately pretended not to find out, took his uncle to a corner that was getting farther and farther away from Alain, and rushed his back in Alain's direction.
Alan came behind Lan Yu, and suddenly patted her shoulder vigorously, Lan Yu was startled, and one of the ankles of the high heels she was wearing was suddenly discounted, and Lan Yu "Ouch!" "He was about to fall to the ground with a bang, if it wasn't for his uncle holding him, Lan Yu's fall would have been a matter of moments.
"Oops, what's wrong with Blue Feather?"
Lan Yu showed an extremely painful expression, and said in a slur manner:
"I probably broke my ankle."
"Ahh If you can step on it, take a look. ”
Lan Yu tried to step on the ground, but she gritted her teeth in pain, and she held the left leg that had been broken like that, not daring to put it down. Wang Mei, who was in the seat, ran over, she squatted down and looked at Lan Yu's ankles, and was frightened, "Mom! "One voice:
"It seems that the cartilage is injured, and it is swollen so high all of a sudden, quick, uncle, I have to find a place!"
"Hey, okay, come, come"
Lan Yu really guessed, and they really led Lan Yu into the mysterious door.
