Volume 11 The Warriors Who Believe in Innovation Chapter 14 Gregorian Chant, Explosion (2) - Supper
I've been feeling unwell these days, all kinds of helplessness, this chapter is a bit long, I hope it doesn't feel redundant.
βγγγ In other words. I heard that Ouyang Heavy Industries and the Nordic industrial giant NET are forming a joint Cartel, but the federal council is arguing over its monopoly.
As she said this, Mrs. O'Donasius raised her fork, and the roast duck on the fork swayed with her movements, and the lady cast a pointed gaze on Guo Zhouyi's face, full of provocation. Despite this indecent table manners, one would want to remind her of one thing: Are you treating this as a restaurant in your town? But the other ladies didn't frown or comment on this rashly, including Ouyang Ying, and their makeup-clad faces showed a polite smile. They turned their heads on one side of the long table. And with some emotion, he set his eyes on the girl president of Ouyang Heavy Industries, the largest funder of --- party.
"Not all new generations of inheritors need to be like this, after all, it is the original intention of the leader to hand over some things to his subordinates to collect intelligence, and Arlando is an ace driver who is famous for his combat effectiveness."
"That's kind." Mrs. O'Donasius pursed her lips.
I guess I'm used to seeing this kind of sight. With a wonderful smile that was neither pandering nor disgusting, Ouyang Ying lightly resisted the ridicule of the other noble ladies. Under the appearance of a generous but not cowardly Miss Ganjin. The president of Ouyang Heavy Industries has always maintained an observant eye that clearly discerns his own situation. Although she is still young, in Guo Zhouyi's opinion, she already has the demeanor of a hostess who has gone through many winds and waves.
"Oh, you're so accurate, after all, it's also the meaning of the Council to be more friendly with Bakina Dazuo." Dodging this sycophancy, Ouyang Ying suddenly hit the "ball" back to the opponent's court, and by the way, he also swept his gaze to the table. Don't forget to keep an eye out for everyone's glasses to be full.
"What President Ouyang said is that entertaining Bakina Dazuo is also one of the important tasks of my coming here this time."
With a loud voice that resounded through the dining room, Howard sat next to Mrs. O'Donasius. O'Donaxiu laid a stop for this slightly fried live topic. He has a tall athletic physique, an eyelid hole that will make people feel kind, and a sincere figure that is welcomed by the elderly and noble ladies. From what I've heard, that's what makes Howard inherently attractive. But Ouyang Ying's impression of him was "well disguised". Before Howard joined the House of Members of the Immigration Council, Howard worked under the Speaker of the Council to gain experience, and now he is the first secretary of the Council Speaker as he prepares to run for local elections, which is also for the future. That's how he was trained all the way, Ouyang Ying thought. Because if you look more carefully. The more I realize that he is not a natural part, whether he can get ahead and be elected to the Central Council of Dhaka now depends on his own qualifications, and for the Immigration Council, which has been entangled with cosmic immigrants, it is also crucial to have a good relationship with the next core figure of Zeon, so he is here.
But. I didn't expect to breathe in the air brewed by these local ladies before the dance party reached the core issue. It was so unpleasant--- Ouyang Ying felt disgusted in his heart.
He is so unhappy, what about him, Ouyang Ying looked at Guo Zhouyi.
Guo Zhouyi recalled the information given to him by Harman: the Ou'Donaxiu Chamber of Commerce made its fortune after the war by revival, and at the same time, the head of the family squeezed into the immigration council, which can be regarded as a typical businessman involved in politics. And this Mrs. O'Donasius is the wife of the chairman of the company. She also served as the president of the Women's Aid Society, and as far as he could see, he could see a large group of ladies led by this lady: the wife of the president of the Equatorial Regional Renewal Association, the wife of the president of the Agricultural Reconstruction Association, and the wife of the president of the Protestant Support Association, which was officially declared the state religion, and nearly ten middle-aged women gathered around the long table in the restaurant.
When they were invited to this all-important annual meeting full of military and political dignitaries, they all pretended to be polite and frightened on the surface, but Guo Zhouyi could feel that these people had no doubts about their position on being entertained. Approaching the candidates who are expected to become future federal officials, these people are waiting for an opportunity to bestow favors, while leaving no trace on the vast votes and financial resources behind them. They are constantly revealing that their whims can decide the life and death of politicians, influence government revenues and manipulate military appropriations, and entrust the fate of society to politicians.
But, if necessary, it would be nice to manipulate the politicians with their own hands, and by the way, to manipulate society, and their husbands are unashamedly embraced by this kind of arrogance, and the wives in front of them are the embodiment of such arrogance.
The stomach pouch that swallowed the sigh grew heavier, and the unknown rage surged up like magma, burning the throat, and sending the duck meat into the mouth became a painful errand. He knew that this was the political truth based on absolute democracy. But the so-called sovereignty of the people, is it really just a pile of votes to buy and sell? Although Haman was forced to recite imperial studies and books like "The Way of Kings", sure enough, such stimulation still seemed too strong for the body that had no chance to come into contact with the real society. Is that one of the purposes for which you sent me here, I love? Thinking like this, Guo Zhouyi painfully and cautiously read the air present, which made him strongly feel the subtle position of his presence here.
Because he was in a subtle coma because he was "exchanging memories" with the moment before, Guo Zhouyi had no time to set up a rhetoric with even eyeshadow, nor did he have the opportunity to dress up. So forced by Ouyang Ying's overwhelming enthusiasm and strength, Guo Zhouyi had no choice but to "Zeon Star, Arlando." Bakina Dazuo" participated in the dinner before the ball, and because of his relationship with Ouyang Ying, he was arranged to be in several ladies' private rooms together. Contrary to Ouyang Ying's promise of a relaxed dinner and the promise that he would soon get to the point, the cuisine was quite elaborate and formal, and all kinds of liquor were opened one by one, including first-class red wine from the 80s and grain wine from the very old, and there were as many as eight waiters arranged around the table. The host, in line with his own financial resources, let a group of people who climbed high and noble see the real wealth. But this may have to exclude Guo Zhouyi, who has a numb attitude towards the display of possessions, in addition to feeling awkward because of his dress; And if it comes to formal attire. Guo Zhouyi felt that he could only think of the military uniform in his mind, and he couldn't tell the difference between the standing collar of the dress and the standing collar of the military uniform.
"Speaking of which, although we have stood on different positions before, our group of women admire Mr. Bakina's achievements very much, such a brilliant battle, and now that Mr. is in the leadership of Zeon, it can be said that he is a real elite."
Lady O'Donasius emphasized in a drunken voice that the waiter had poured red for herself. Compared to the political future of many people in front of me, every time I pick up a dinner knife. Her fat arms will shake with her. It seems that there is also more interest in the private life of the current ace driver. When Gao Long said hello and withdrew, she was the one who insisted on keeping people.
"There are also some of my relatives who are MS drivers," another lady picked up, "but he's retired from the sport. He now works as an advisor to the Anaheim Orchestra. β
The retired MS driver actually worked as a consultant in the orchestra, what kind of driver was this, Guo Zhouyi couldn't help but wonder in his heart: The drivers who can survive the previous wars of the Federation are elite, such people have always entered the instructor class, how can they go back to some bullshit orchestra as a consultant, so it seems that they are the kind of "soldiers" with mixed qualifications?
"Oops. In this way, he is indeed an elite. β
"So, Mr. Barkina will also enter politics in the future to help your fiancΓ©e?"
Ouyang Ying's expression instantly stiffened. The butler of Ouyang Heavy Industries, who was accompanying him behind him, also showed signs of tightness. Just when the ladies' sticky eyes focused on Guo Zhouyi, Ouyang Ying stubbornly moved his gaze to the seat next to him and peeked at the faces of the topic characters.
This is simply a pot that can't be opened, Ouyang Ying cursed in his heart, and he was from Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Katagiri and Lilina. The same frustration was read on Pilscraft face.
After introducing himself at the beginning, Guo Zhouyi didn't even say a word, and at this time, he still didn't look like he was looking around him. With an absent-minded expression, the rolled duck meat is sent to the mouth. After arriving at the banquet hall, he had always been like this, and he still couldn't adapt to this atmosphere, and isolated himself in a fairly direct way, Ouyang Ying thought about it as he spoke, "I don't think Mr. Bakina has decided the future direction yet. After saying that, Ouyang Ying turned his gaze to Lilina.
"Also, in addition to being able to drive Ms, these aces don't have a good brain at all, and my brother is a good example."
Thank you for helping to answer the word - Ouyang Ying's eyes said this, Guo Zhouyi noticed that the two women were helping him play a round and wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn't speak immediately, so Guo Zhouyi could only smile back awkwardly.
And someone said, "In this way, the army is now remaking the list of crash kings in the new era, and there are many people who are enthusiastic about it, and my daughter is participating", which once again accelerated Guo Zhouyi's heart.
"I think we all want war to be less, because our crashes are a sign of the death toll." After taking Mrs. 's words, Gao Long, the ace of the Federation who had been knocked down by Guo Zhouyi but escaped death, nodded lightly to Guo Zhouyi, maybe his position was different, but the two had a tacit understanding at this time.
"Yes, war is terrible, especially in the universe, by the way, the universe is really terrible. As long as there is a hole in the colony satellite, the Spacenoid inside will be dead, isn't this the same as a fish in a tank? I shudder just thinking about it; Such a fragile place, sure enough, still needs to be well managed, in order to survive. β
Just smile and perfunctory Guo Zhouyi felt that he understood, but. He didn't have a smile that he could show to this kind of person, all kinds of belittling his lover and comrades-in-arms, and it was also a blasphemy against the dead soldiers, and all kinds of words set off waves in his mind.
The moment Ouyang Ying clenched her fists because of the recklessness of the lady who said this, the sound of kicking the chair came from beside her.
Standing up, Guo Zhouyi's gaze turned away from anyone, and he left the scene without saying a word. The sound of the footsteps of the boots suppressed resentment, and the cool air was shaken, and the crimson officer disappeared at the end of the door, leaving only the ladies with stunned stupid expressions in the cafeteria.
"Did we say anything that ruined his mood?"
The lady who said the wrong thing asked, and towards her cunning and curious face, Ouyang Ying immediately said "I'm sorry" to round the field.
"He seems to have seen a miserable halo in many horrific battles, please don't pay attention."
Ouyang Ying said as he cursed this person's vicious thoughts and stupid political vision in his heart. But when she re-faced the disillusioned ladies, she had lost the opportunity to catch up with him. Ouyang Ying had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and stuff the fried bun into Zaosi's mouth that had lost her appetite, and when she wanted to swallow the meat, "So, my child is γγγγγγ Gao Yun's lady's voice filled the gap.
The air in the audience eased until Ouyang Ying could leave the table naturally, and it took a full quarter of an hour to leave the party with her indigestion stomach, and she walked in the house, trying to find Guo Zhouyi's figure.
I don't know if most of the servants went to the dance party to help, and the mansion owned by Ouyang Heavy Industry was silent. Walking up the stairs from the hall, Ouyang Ying walked through the hall to a corner of the mansion, where she found Guo Zhouyi's back on the terrace facing the atrium.
At this moment, the clock announced the time, and it was seven o'clock in the evening, if Greenwich Mean Time was to be calculated. That is, in the universe, it is twenty-three and a half, this is the time when he should be ready to sleep, looking up at the digital clock that shows two moments, Ouyang Ying once again realized that although he and he are "the same kind", they have gone through a very different past. She walked through the open door to the terrace.
Looking at the starry sky, Guo Zhouyi's back did not move. The sound of the shuttle flying into the distance mingled with the sound of the wind, and a whimper made the bushes that surrounded the atrium unstable. Ouyang Ying sniffed the evening breeze that began to smell at night, and said, "I'm sorry. β
Guo Zhouyi turned around and smiled stiffly: "You don't have to apologizeγγγγγγ I think that's the reality. Because if I had stayed at New Zeon, I wouldn't have known about these things, and it might have been a good learning opportunity. β
She said this, but Ouyang Ying felt the fragility of not being able to overcome this layer of prejudice, and the idea that mutual understanding was just a dream sprung up in her heart, she stood in a powerless feeling that she could not breathe.
"But why is this so... Guo Zhouyi, who said this, trembled his shoulders, and he firmly clenched the palm on the armrest.
"That's not what you're talking aboutγγγγγγ" Ouyang Ying felt a greater sense of despair and loss, "Arrandoγγγγγγ Calling out to the other's body, she approached the trembling back at this time.
What is such a man suffering for, is he strong or fragile, Ouyang Ying thought wildly, and looked at the starry sky along Guo Zhouyi's line of sight, and at the end of the thick atmosphere, she saw the starlight flickering. The starlight was softer than what we saw in the universe, yet dazed and elusive.
