Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter at a Banquet
Diamond International Hotel is a three-star hotel, not very famous in the international metropolis of Jianghai, but people who have been in will know that the luxury of the hotel is no less than a four-star hotel, but because it belongs to the school property, it is deliberately low-key.
Dean Zhang informed Chen Peng that the address of the banquet was here.
It was almost noon when Chen Peng arrived, and the highlight of the banquet was in the evening, and the heads and brains above would not arrive until that time, so most of the guests naturally hadn't left at this time, but there were some who arrived in advance, and these were probably the students and their families that Dean Zhang had brought with them, after all, the protagonist of the evening was not Dean Zhang, and it was the most appropriate time to gather with the former tutors and students in the afternoon.
This banquet is actually a celebration banquet, and the theme is naturally the "big dog of China" who made a big splash in the media some time ago. It is said that this time the leaders of the school in the national teaching and research system greatly showed their faces, and also reached a cooperation intention with the Central Science and Technology Commission, even the national defense department has placed an experimental order, which is regarded as a key project this year, it can be said that all the face is there, all fronts are fully red, naturally we should celebrate it, by the way, the leaders of those and those similar colleges and universities continue to show off, and increase the morale of the teachers and students of the school. After all, the leaders of the school in these years have not been less because of the scientific research strength of the school and have been ridiculed by the leaders of other colleges and universities.
From the beginning of entering the lobby, Chen Peng continued to meet people he knew and greeted each other, and when he passed the leisure room by the inner courtyard garden, he met a large group of people, most of whom were members of the Department of Motor Vehicles.
It was a sand rest area in the corner of the lobby, Zhang Chengguang was sitting with a few old people talking loudly, and he knew how interested he was when he looked at his red face, and there were some young people around them, who should be their children or students.
"Dean." Chen Peng went up and said hello respectfully.
"Chen Peng, you're here, come, I'll introduce you to a few seniors." Seeing Chen Peng, Zhang Chengguang immediately happily beckoned him over and began to introduce him to a few old men on the side.
"This is Liu Lao, Taishan Beidou in terms of power."
"Hello Liu."
"This is Professor Qin, who teaches ergonomics at Haihua University and is an honorary professor at the University of Heidelberg in Germany."
"Hello Professor Qin."
"This is Director Feng, a leading expert in kinesiology and biomedicine in China."
"Hello Director Feng."
……
In this way, Zhang Chengguang introduced one, and Chen Peng saluted and said hello, if it weren't for his outstanding memory now, he wouldn't be able to figure out who was who after the introduction.
"Zhang Dacang, this is what you have been talking about Xiao Chen." After a round of introductions, one of the old men asked with a smile, Chen Peng remembered that his surname was Zhao, and he was a master in biology and agricultural science.
"That's him." Zhang Chengguang proudly patted Chen Peng's shoulder, "Don't look at this kid is young, he is very talented in mechanics, and he also has a set of electronic information, he was the youngest member of our motor vehicle department back then, and now the central control program and terrain multi-change algorithm of coyote7 are made by him." ”
"No wonder this kid has such an appetite for your cannon, it's really a young talent." Zhao Lao smiled and praised.
Chen Peng knew that Dean Zhang was building contacts for him, and immediately said politely: "Mr. Zhao has won the award, this is not something I can do alone, not only the dean, but also many senior brothers have helped a lot, and I can't figure it out alone without everyone's help." ”
"Don't be arrogant, well, young man, you're very good." Old Zhao nodded with satisfaction.
Dean Zhang asked Chen Peng to follow him and listen for a while, and then let him go play by himself, under the pretext that young people were too boring to always follow a bunch of old bones, in fact, Chen Peng knew that this was a way to protect him - it was already very good to get to know this group of old people who obviously had a lot of energy, and if he stayed for a long time, it would be too much and make others jealous.
The noon banquet was a buffet, Chen Peng glanced at it, and did not see the brothers who were relatively familiar with him in the past, so he took the plate and filled it with some food, came to a corner where there were no people, sat down, and ate slowly.
The splendid hall is bathed in warm yellow tones, the towering sky dome is closed from all sides to the center by a steel skeleton, the blue sky can be seen through the openwork glass windows on the ceiling, the large and small crystal lights set off the opulent atmosphere, and the gentle music ripples around the waiters pushing the food cart through the passage and the people gathered to talk and talk.
From the perspective of the banquet, the atmosphere here is very good, but Chen Peng always feels out of place.
In the past, when he was in school, he had few friends because of his personality problems, and even in the motor vehicle department, he didn't communicate much with his peers, but now the few brothers who can talk to him did not appear in this banquet hall, so he was left alone in the corner, although he was accompanied by food, but it was inevitable that he was a little bored.
"Stay a little longer, just say goodbye to the dean, just in time to go to the wedding banquet early."
Chen Peng made a decision, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, connected to "Balranta World", and began to play boring time.
Time passed, and the sunlight that could have shone on him gradually skewed, and a layer of golden paint was plastered on the wall behind him.
His mind didn't pay much attention to the "Balanta World" he was playing, after all, the game was almost equal to his own production, and everything in it was clear, so there was no sense of expectation at all when he played it.
The same is true of the world, although the people of Iris brought him too much fear, but a certain Cheng dù also raised his gaze to a height that may not be attainable in a lifetime, and at this height he has a lot of feelings about his past life. In the past twenty-five years, minutes have been reduced to meaningless hours, hours have piled up into meaningless days, and so on until the whole period has become an inseparable period of meaningless numbers, the few shining points of which are embellished with the knowledge learned in the past years.
Knowledge is power, and he has never felt it so deeply as he does now. Eris people, Chen Peng sometimes even thinks that these alien visitors may be the prototype of some human beings who believe in the gods, the same long life, the same powerful power, in the long life they have obtained a vast amount of knowledge, and transformed it into their various wonderful technologies, can cross the distance that human beings can't even calculate to come to the earth, and easily grasp human beings to do real yàn, and there are no human beings at all, but such a terrible race is only one of the existing zài in this endless universe, This made Chen Peng feel even more insignificant as a human being.
Will our race be able to get to this point someday in the future?
He looked up, squinting, and peering directly at the golden yellow through the glass above.
Are you watching me from above, and am I amusing you like Truman Burbank?
"Hey, Chen Peng, I finally found you, why are you hiding here alone?"
A somewhat familiar voice sounded in front of him, and he moved his head down slightly, and he saw a woman.
Dressed in beige clothes, with delicate and neat ears, a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes under the double eyelids, melon seed face, high nose bridge, pale red lips, and very white skin, it was as if the sun had returned to him again.
"Miao Miao?" Chen Peng was stunned for a moment, and asked with some uncertainty.
"Of course it's me, what beautiful woman do you think will come to you?" Miao Miao's face showed a look of course, then looked Chen Peng up and down, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, yes, it looks like you are a little different from before, your temperament is good, and if you are more melancholy, you can barely reach the level of going up to the bar to hang those stupid girls." ”
In the face of words that were not just sarcastic or praised, Chen Peng just smiled indifferently, stood up, pulled out a chair for the other party like a gentleman in the movie, and made a gesture of invitation.
Miao Miao sat down unceremoniously, twisted a few times, and adjusted a comfortable position before admiring: "You haven't really learned to hang a girl, this set of actions is very skillful." ”
"Of course, don't practice more until Cheng Dù is so embarrassed to show you." Chen Peng replied angrily, and said hello to a waiter not far away, asking him to bring a cup of orange juice.
"Ah, I've really practiced, not only in my hands, but also in my mouth." Miao Miao's eyes widened in surprise, but unfortunately the black and white Danfeng eyes couldn't be round, but they just added a little cuteness to her.
"Drink it up, shut your unforgiving mouth." Chen Peng smiled and took the orange juice sent by the waiter and put it in front of Miao Miao, "When did you come back?" ”
Miao Miao took the orange juice with a smile, took a sip, and then said slowly: "Seeing that your service is so thoughtful, Miss Ben will tell you compassionately, I have been back for five days." ”
"Then haven't you been kissing for five days? Last time, I heard my wife say that when you come back, I must pull out a blind date dragon for you, so that you can pick a dazzled person at will. Chen Peng opened his hands and directly drew a large circle.
"Poof!"
Faced with Chen Peng's somewhat exaggerated words and expressions, Miao Miao laughed directly, and her eyes bent into two crescents.
Miao Miao's full name is Zhang Danmiao, she is Zhang Chengguang's only daughter, three years younger than Chen Peng, she loves to play and make trouble, the two met when Chen Peng was Zhang Chengguang's student, and their personalities are exceptionally compatible, and they have a very good relationship, and they also formed a doTa team at that time, Chen Peng, Zhang Danmiao and Zhang He are all members of it.
In the past few years, Zhang Danmiao went to study at Stanford University on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and everyone hadn't seen each other for a while, but Chen Peng was quite surprised to meet him at the banquet this time.
