On 26 July, Ma Youwei, editor-in-chief of October magazine, called Chen Beiming to tell him that the award ceremony of the October Magazine essay contest would be held in three days, and asked him to prepare to attend the party.

At the end of the phone, Ma Youwei whispered: "Xiaoshan, this conference is very important to the club, and many celebrities will be invited to help, and there will be many celebrities and heads of government to attend, so be sure to prepare well." ”

Chen Beiming heard the song and knew the meaning of the song, and immediately understood what Ma Youwei meant when he said to prepare well: There will be a lot of bigwigs present that night, and it will only be good for you to seize the opportunity to meet a few more people.

Chen Beiming, who is a man of two lives, knows the role of relationships better than anyone else.

When we were on Earth, both China and foreign countries attached great importance to the role of social relations, but China used the back door to describe it, as if it was impossible to get on the stage, while Western society was often about connections, as if it was high-end, in fact, it was the same thing.

"You have to prepare well for this party." Chen Beiming pondered secretly.

So the first thing to do is to dress like a dog.

He doesn't really need clothes to set off, but the awards party is different, he still has to dress better, most of his current clothes are military uniforms, and casual clothes are some bargains, so his first job is to buy a high-end suit.

It's a pity that whether it's Huang Ying or Qiu Chengtong, they really don't know much about this kind of thing, so after thinking about it, Chen Beiming fell into a tangle for a while, he didn't know what kind of clothing to buy was economical and cost-effective, and he could get on the stage, he didn't understand the luxury industry in this world.

Just as he was struggling, someone suddenly came to the door.

On this day, a phone call suddenly came: "Hey, Xiaoshan, are you free today?" I want to treat you to dinner. ”

The person who called was Xu Qing, the woman Chen Beiming had saved in the bank robbery before.

As soon as Chen Beiming heard Xu Qing's voice, his eyes lit up: "Xu Qing may have an idea." ”

So he immediately agreed: "Yes, Sister Qing, where will we meet." ”

"Where are you, I'll come and pick you up."

"I'm in the General Political Art Troupe now."

Chen Beiming told Xu Qing his location, cleaned up a little and walked towards the gate.

Since that robbery, Xu Qing has been in touch with Chen Beiming, making a phone call from time to time, or coming over to invite him to dinner, and sometimes writing a letter to him - in this era, e-mail and other communication tools have not yet circulated on a large scale, and even mobile phones are still the preserve of a few people, and writing letters is still a relatively important way of communication.

Therefore, Chen Beiming knows a little bit about Xu Qing, knowing that this guy is from the capital's high society, often goes in and out of some important social occasions, and has a lot of experience in dressing and etiquette, so he asks her the most suitable.

"Hill."

After a while, a red sedan slowly stopped at the entrance of the General Political Department, and Xu Qing poked her head out of the window and screamed with a smile.

Chen Beiming hurriedly trotted over, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down.

"You're coming pretty fast! It can't be in a flying car, right? Chen Beiming joked while wearing a seat belt.

"In your eyes, is your sister Qing such a frizzy person?" Xu Qing glanced at Chen Beiming charmingly.

Xu Qing's height is only about one meter seven, and the net height may even be less than one or two centimeters, which is completely incomparable with female soldiers of the honor guard like Yang Yuhe, but the appearance is almost the same, they are all very tall, but they belong to different categories, Yang Yuhe is heroic, and Xu Qing is mature and charming.

Although the car she drives is inconspicuous, it is actually worth a lot of money, at least more than one million, and it is also a luxury car.

Of course, the Xia Kingdom of this world is one of the three horse-drawn carriages in the world, and the car-making technology is also world-class, so Xu Qing's car is a domestic luxury car, similar to a domestic BMW.

Xu Qing took Chen Beiming to a restaurant that didn't even have a name, but the environment was very elegant, and the dishes were exquisite and delicious.

"Xiaoshan, I'll give you a gift." After sitting down and chatting for a few minutes, Xu Qing took out a box from her bag and handed it to Chen Beiming.

Chen Beiming looked at it, but it was a mobile phone.

Xu Qing said with a smile: "This is the mobile phone that our company is developing, it is a prototype, I think it's not bad, I'll give you one, it's convenient to contact or something in the future." ”

Chen Beiming opened it and looked at it, and immediately laughed: "Sister Qing, you are not honest. ”

"What's dishonest?"

"The prototype doesn't have any licenses, so you can only see it and can't use it, but this phone should be ready to use, right?"

Xu Qing thought that Chen Beiming would not know about these high-tech products, and how could she know that Chen Beiming's understanding of mobile phones was not something she could imagine at all.

Xu Qing, who was pierced, was embarrassed for a second, but quickly recovered, and she smiled: "You little ghost, you are really a big ghost, you can see this!" ”

"I may have a better understanding of mobile phones than you!" Chen Beiming said a little proudly.

"Bragging, not drafting!" Xu Qing gave him a blank look, completely unconvinced.

Chen Beiming smiled and did not speak again.

"Okay, I'll admit it, I bought it for you, you won't dislike it, right?" Xu Qing admitted honestly, and then provoked Chen Beiming again.

This phone is actually quite good, very small, similar to the Nokia of the 1998s on the earth, of course, neither the appearance nor the design can be compared with Nokia, but the size is about the same, much smaller than other big guys.

The market price of such a mobile phone is about 10,000 yuan.

Chen Beiming took the mobile phone and pressed it, and was suddenly stunned: "Even a SIM card?" ”

"Do you still know the SIM card?" Xu Qing was taken aback, as if she didn't know Chen Beiming, she looked at him in a daze, and then explained: "I happened to pass by a business hall just now, and I bought you a card, the number is 1.3.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.1.8.8, oh, by the way, I also paid you five hundred." ”

"You're too willing, aren't you? I'm afraid this number alone will cost 10,000 or 20,000, right? Chen Beiming sighed.

Xu Qing was stunned again: He even knew that this number had to spend money to buy such a thing? Does this guy really know how to use mobile phones?

However, she didn't admit it, smiled and replied: "I didn't ask for any money, I was looking for a friend's number." ”

Although this mobile phone is expensive, Chen Beiming still accepted it, the first is that he really needs a mobile phone, and the second is that he saved Xu Qing twice, this guy has always been obsessed, as if he can't be down-to-earth if he doesn't repay him for a day, third, to tell the truth, he Chen Beiming really doesn't care about these tens of thousands of things to play, and he doesn't think it's so unusual!

"Sister Qing, then I'm welcome, I'll accept your gift." Chen Bei Ming Dao.

"That's pretty much it." Xu Qing was overjoyed, smiling, like a peach blossom blooming one by one.
