After going to Changshan Cemetery to pay tribute to Zhang Yuanchao, people began to make final preparations for the wedding.

The "air travel regulations" of the board of directors and laboratory review committees of the group are actually applied to the guests who come to the wedding.

Since November 2, the guests have been staggering NB Airlines flights in accordance with the schedule temporarily changed by the "Wedding Organizing Committee", and rushed to Hong Kong at a rate of four people a day, more than a month in advance.

The first to arrive were mainly specialists and professors from Moscow State University, St. Petersburg University, Leningrad First Medical Academy and St. Petersburg Technical University.

Vice-Rector Alyosha, Professors Ivanovich, Yevgeny, Gregory and Peshkov, as well as Natasha's father, Professor Vladimir, Deputy Head of the Physics Department of Moscow University, were very pleased with this arrangement.

Moscow and St. Petersburg were freezing cold, dozens of degrees below zero, and they could only stay in their houses all day. The economy that is undergoing "shock treatment" is worse than the climate, and anyway, with the winter holidays just a few days away, it is better to bring your wife and children to Hong Kong for a vacation.

Naturally, President Gao and President Wu of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, who was the first to get the first time in their respective fields, would not miss this opportunity and took the initiative to take over the reception of Russian guests, and after settling them down, they began endless speeches and exchanges.

As the true owner, you can't really ignore the charter.

In the morning, I worked as interpreters for them, went out with them in the afternoon, and invited a few experts and scholars from HKU, CUHK and PolyU to gather with them in the evening.

The good sisters are getting married, and their father and mother are the guests of honor at the wedding, and Natasha rushed to Hong Kong from Berlin early. Just a few foreign friends. Her arrival made Xia Yao and Zhang Lin overjoyed. Neither the fiancé nor the sweetheart care. The three of them stuck together all day long, shopping, drinking tea, shopping......

"The one I bought yesterday is a bit small, I'll change it later, and I want to buy him another pair of leather shoes."

After visiting a few stores, the three of them walked into a shopping mall, Zhang Lin walked with a sore back and legs, pointed to the side of the tea house and proposed: "Bride, rest for a while." I can't really walk. ”

"Okay, listen to you."

Xia Yao changed a few bags from his left hand to his right hand, and was about to take out his wallet to buy drinks, when Natasha was attracted by a fast sign in the shopping mall, and said happily: "Linlin, Xia Yao, let's go to the gym to have a look, okay?" ”

"What are you doing at the gym?"

Natasha took them by the arm and walked towards the elevator, smiling coquettishly, "I haven't exercised in days, go see how it is there." If the environment is good. I'll come over every day to exercise from tomorrow until you and Zhang have their wedding. ”

She danced ballet as a child. Now she can still jump on her toes, her figure is so good, and the return rate along the way is as high as more than 99%, Zhang Lin really doesn't think she has the need to exercise, and said weakly: "Natasha, shopping with the bride is the best exercise, and besides, you are not a bodybuilder." ”

Xia Yao nodded: "Yes, and it's a place for men to go, so it's not appropriate for us to go." ”

Two girls in sportswear and carrying travel bags passed by, and Natasha looked envious, "See, there are girls going to exercise." ”

No matter what country or region it is, the gym is a place of right and wrong, seeing Magdalena frowning, Xia Yao, who has always been cautious, shook his head and said, "It's okay to go, but you have to give me a reason." ”

Natasha made an extremely exaggerated bodybuilding move, and said with a smug smile: "I wanted to tell you after the wedding, since I need a reason, then I said in advance, I have won a formal position on BNB News, and I will go to Bosnia and Herzegovina with my partner next month, if I don't have a good body, then I will not be able to do the next job." ”

Xia Yao exclaimed: "Go to Bosnia and Herzegovina? ”

Zhang Lin even pulled her arm and reminded: "Big beauty, is there a war going on there, you don't want to live!" ”

"I'm not going to go without a war, war correspondent, formally, envy, right?"

Xia Yao didn't want her to be in danger, so he said earnestly: "It's not good to do anything, you have to be a war correspondent, is it so easy to be a war correspondent?" It's too dangerous, I won't go with you. ”

"Your dream is to be a female anchor, why don't you stick to it? Xia Yao is right, it's too dangerous there, and it's not suitable for a big beauty like you to go. ”

Natasha sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "The ideal is shattered, at least for the time being, I can't achieve it, I can only change to a similar one, and I feel cool to be a war correspondent." ”

Xia Yao asked puzzledly: "It's broken, what do you mean?" ”

"The anchor is the image of the TV network and the news program, and can be called the 'news spokesman' of the TV station, and has to shoulder the great responsibility of embodying the image of the news department of the TV network. The words spoken by the anchor must give the audience a sense of trust, so there are strict requirements for the anchor's age, gender, seniority, and even appearance and voice. ”

Zhang Lin, who had never been to the headquarters of BNB News and knew nothing about the situation there, asked with a puzzled face: "You are so beautiful, you speak English, German and Russian so well, and you also have a master's degree in journalism and communication, are you not qualified?" ”

Natasha nodded heavily and confirmed: "Unqualified, you must know the news anchors of the three major American TV networks, Latser of CBS, who was a foreign correspondent for more than ten years before officially becoming the anchor; NBC's Brucaw, who was also a TV reporter before becoming the anchor, has been in the industry for 20 years; and the same is true of ABC's Jennings, who has been in the industry for more than 20 years.

Communication scholars have even come to the conclusion that 43 is the 'golden age' for news anchors. They are mature, steady, authoritative, masculine, and easy to win people's favor and trust, and good impression and trust can help TV stations win viewers and ratings. ”

After staying abroad for so long, Xia Yao clearly understood that anchors and announcers were two different things, but he didn't expect that there would be an age requirement. Zhang Lin also realized that her hope of becoming a female news anchor was too slim, not only was her qualifications insufficient, but she was too beautiful, after all, the anchor's appearance should be dignified and generous. Can't be too pretty. Can't be too sexy. Being too young and beautiful will give the audience a sense of distrust. It may even be unrecognized and liked by same-sex audiences.

Xia Yao thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Dear Natasha, in fact, you can host entertainment shows. ”

"Bride, why don't you suggest I become a star, maybe a model?"

Natasha asked rhetorically and said very seriously: "I don't want to eat with my face, I won't eat that kind of youth meal for a long time, and more importantly, I love journalism." How challenging is it to persistently conduct in-depth interviews, dig out the truth of the incident, and uphold fairness and justice? ”

The pursuit of ideals is worth encouraging, it is precisely because of the fiancé and his friends who adhere to their ideals that there are now NB Electric Group and NB Laboratory, in the face of Natasha, who does not hesitate to take risks in pursuit of ideals, Xia Yao is really a little ashamed, and muttered for a while: "Then you don't have to go to Bosnia and Herzegovina." ”

"I speak Croatian and can roughly understand Serbian, which is similar to Bosnian, the third official language of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I even went on a tour when I was in Moscow at university, where I had a lot of friends. This is my strength. ”

Her mother was a professor of languages at Moscow University, and she could speak so many languages, Zhang Lin was no longer surprised, and took her arm and asked, "Can your father and mother agree?" ”

"They're so proud of me."

Xia Yao was completely stunned and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how can Professor Vladimir do this? ”

"Shouldn't parents support their children in doing what she loves?"

"Yes, but it's too dangerous to go to Bosnia and Herzegovina."

"Somalia is more dangerous, but my colleagues at the news network are still sending back all kinds of reports from there. I know you care about me, and I'm so happy to have friends like you, really. ”

"The bylaws won't agree to it."

Natasha was most worried about this, and immediately screamed: "Xia Yao, he is your husband, not my husband, he can't and has no right to dictate what I should and shouldn't do." If he puts pressure on the news network on this issue, then I will have to serve another news organization. ”

Zhang Lin glared at her fiercely, and asked angrily, "Did you also threaten President Daniel like this?" ”

She smiled mysteriously, "Is this a threat?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Since you say yes, that's it, but it's important to me."

Looking at Natasha's unusually resolute appearance, Xia Yao realized that it was useless to say anything, and said with a helpless wry smile: "Since you have made up your mind, and your father and mother are so supportive, what else can we say?" Be careful, it's best to prepare a steel helmet and a body armor, and don't rush forward stupidly when you encounter anything. ”

"How can you grab the big news without rushing forward?"

Zhang Lin couldn't help but pinch her, gritted her teeth and said, "Is big news important or is life important?" I don't want to go to your funeral again just after attending Xia Yao and his charter's wedding. ”

Natasha said heartlessly: "Don't worry, I bought insurance." ”

What else can you say to this kind of person, Xia Yao sighed secretly and muttered: "Team reporter, uncrowned king, I wish you an early Pulitzer Prize." ”

Her confidence in herself was incredible, and she even said with a heartfelt message: "It's a pity that the award ceremony is not for media interviews, and the winners are not allowed to invite relatives and friends, otherwise I would definitely invite you to the ceremony." ”

After attending the wedding, he went to the battlefield filled with gunpowder, Xia Yao was really reluctant, and was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Natasha, when you come out of the gym, we will help you choose a beautiful dress, I want to invite you to join my female group, you won't agree, right?" ”

The initiative of the marriage ceremony has been taken over by NB Labs, and a group of young researchers are carefully planning to help the charter and the person in front of him make a different kind of wedding.

Natasha went to the Clear Water Bay Peninsula every night to reunite with her family, and she didn't know anything about it, so she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xia Yao, I'm not a researcher, is it appropriate to join the women's group?" ”

"This is my wedding, and if I say it's appropriate, it's appropriate."

She pretended to ponder for a moment, and then said in a matter-of-fact manner, "I can accept your invitation, but I must buy two sets of dresses." ”

"It's a beautiful idea!"

The three big beauties in the two middle schools and one outside the country started to fight again, which suddenly attracted the side eyes of I don't know how many tourists.

The gym on the seventh floor of the shopping mall is in good condition, and the management is very formal, and many white-collar beauties are exercising. I didn't see anyone who didn't care.

In order to pass the final round of fitness tests for BNB News against war correspondents. Natasha couldn't wait to drop the shopping bag. I bought a set of gym clothes and changed into them and started exercising. After shopping for most of the day, Xia Yao was as tired as Zhang Lin, so the two simply asked for three drinks and sat by the treadmill to rest.

Looking at the handsome men and beauties who were exercising, Zhang Lin asked without a word: "Don't go home tomorrow afternoon?" ”

Xia Yao put down the cup and said, "If you don't go back, he will go to the Beas River Club with Mr. Wu." ”

Natasha glanced back and asked breathlessly, "Clubhouse?" ”

"Not the kind of place you think you are."

Xia Yao grabbed the towel and threw it on her head, and said with a smile: "When a person's wealth accumulates to a certain extent. Getting along with former friends and classmates will definitely be a little subtle, and it will no longer be as casual as before. And the partners at work are also difficult to get along like friends because of their interests, and sometimes they are inevitably lonely, so they generally go to high-end clubs for leisure. Because the people there match their identities and interests, there will be no interests involved. ”

Zhang Lin asked suspiciously: "San'er is lonely? ”

Xia Yao patiently explained: "How can he be lonely, the identity of a scientist makes him never lack friends around him." But as a wealthy man who has already been on the list and has a high ranking, whether it is for the NB laboratory or for the development of the NB Electric Group, he must integrate into that circle. ”

Zhang Lin asked again: "The Beas River Club is very high-end. All the people who go are rich? ”

"The Beas River Clubhouse is one of the Jockey Club's clubhouses, in fact, back in the fall. After nearly six months of deliberation, he became a member of The Hong Kong Jockey Club, seconded by HKU Vice-Chancellor Chow, Dr Hui of the Prince of Wales Hospital and another ordinary member of the legal profession. ”

How did Natasha know what kind of organization the Hong Kong Jockey Club was, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "Bride, does your husband ride a horse?" ”

"Club members don't have to be able to ride horses, or even own horses."

Xia Yao took a sip of juice and said step by step: "The Hong Kong Jockey Club has a history of more than 100 years, and has contributed greatly to the Hong Kong society by investing in the construction of hospitals and schools. ”

Da Xiong, another bodyguard who is in charge of their security today, is obviously interested in Natasha, and always rushes to help her carry her bag when shopping, and now he is fluent in English, and he introduces it with great gratitude: "Miss Natasha, in Hong Kong, people regard 'mansion on the mountain, Rolls-Royce, Jockey Club membership' as the three labels of successful people, and it can be said that Jockey Club members are synonymous with the most influential group of people in Hong Kong." ”

Natasha jokingly asked, "I love horseback riding, can I apply to join?" ”

"Anyone can apply, but whether they can join or not is another matter."

Seeing that the proprietress and the second lady nodded slightly towards her, the former Hong Kong Police Force elite Da Xiong no longer had any scruples, and introduced with a fluttering eyebrow: "You don't have strong financial strength to become a member of the Jockey Club effortlessly. In order to ensure the quality of its membership, the Club strictly limits the number of members and the application rules are extremely strict.

Every applicant has to go through a rigorous selection process. The content of the investigation includes whether the applicant has a clean net, whether there are any financial disputes, and whether he has a certain positive influence in society, including academic achievements. Whether there is a responsibility to the society, such as whether it participates in public welfare undertakings, and submitting tax bills is even more necessary.

After the information is submitted, an interview will be conducted to evaluate the applicant's moral accomplishment, conduct and sense of responsibility. After the data review, it can be described as a heavy hurdle. It takes an average of five years to join the Club, but Mr. Cheung became a member of the Club in a few months, the fastest pace in the past decade. ”

This is undoubtedly a very proud thing, Xia Yao hooked up a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth. Zhang Lin was not interested in the high-end club, but asked thoughtfully: "Are you going to meet someone with Mr. Wu?" ”

"Well, it's all big shots." Xia Yao nodded slightly, leaned into her ear and said a few names in a row.

Real estate tycoon, jewelry tycoon, Macau gambling king, movie tycoon...... Almost all of the richest people in Hong Kong and Macau will attend, Zhang Lin was stunned, and asked with an incredulous face: "Really? ”

"Really, people are hosting a banquet to welcome him to join, there are old-timers, there are business partners, and there are our customers, of course he can't be absent."

Thinking that the suit that Xia Yao bought for him yesterday afternoon didn't fit, Zhang Lin suddenly got up and said, "Then what are we doing sitting here, go and help him change his clothes." ”

"I'll only go tomorrow night, not tonight."

"That's right."

Zhang Lin nodded, smiled and advised: "You keep an eye on him before he leaves tomorrow, don't even wear a crooked tie like when he was entertained in Berlin the year before last." ”

"You know, I'm not going to put him to shame."

Xia Yao smiled and continued: "Mr. Li, Mr. Zheng, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wu have such big real estate, and they are also involved in infrastructure investment such as electricity, docks, and highways, and they are all Hong Kong enterprises and should help each other. He had high expectations for tomorrow night's banquet and hoped to win their electrical equipment business, so he would not be as unkempt as before, and Mr. Wu would accompany him. ”

"Brother-in-law is really, he revolves around the eldest sister, and he doesn't care about such a big thing."

"So the eldest sister is the happiest." (To be continued......)
