Chapter 50: Yangcheng

Today's sheep city

A famous synagogue in Yangzhou.

The hall was packed, the audience was full of scholars and experts, and there were many media reporters under the podium, constantly shooting. There were many foreigners among the spectators and journalists.

There are six long mahogany tables on the podium, behind which six people are seated, and a beautiful woman is standing at the lectern to speak. On the projection screen behind the podium, some pictures of the primeval forest are played.

The six people behind the wooden table are of different ages, the one sitting on the far left seems to be the host, and the five people on the right are all explorers, all of whom are very capable. At this time, the audience was listening attentively to the speech of the woman at the podium, and there was silence in the hall, only the melodious voice of the woman.

The woman was not very old, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and she was very beautiful and had a noble temperament. At this time, she had reached the end of her speech, bowed to the audience and said, "...... Thank you, that's all for my expedition report on the Kunlun Mountains. With that, she turned back to her seat.

Immediately there was thunderous applause in the hall, which lasted for a long time, and the girl, with a serious face, had already sat down, and stood up again and bowed to the audience.

At this time, the host stood up, he was about thirty years old, and said with a smile: "Okay, Miss Gao's lecture is over, and now we will ask Professor Jin of the expedition team to publish his report." ”

Behind the wooden table, a slightly chubby middle-aged man in a checkered shirt stood up, walked to the lectern, smiled and nodded hello to the audience, and then began the speech, but most of the audience's attention was still on the beautiful girl.

After Professor Hua's lecture began, the lights in the auditorium were dimmed in order to match the clear scientific research photos on the projection screen. The beautiful girl looked at her phone, whispered something to the host, and then quietly left the podium and walked out of the hall hall.

The girl walked out of the hall and just arrived in the hallway, only to find that there were many reporters and media blocking it. These reporters were waiting for her, and when they saw her come out, they immediately surrounded her, and a reporter asked: "Hello, Miss Gao, this time you came to Yangzhou to conduct a national tour of the Kunlun Mountain scientific expedition, what do you think?" ”

The girl seemed to be accustomed to interviews with the news media, and said lightly: "Yangzhou is a beautiful city, I come here often, I like it here." ”

Another reporter said: "Miss Gao, your scientific expedition has achieved significant results and has been praised by foreign academic circles, where will your next expedition be?" ”

"Probably going to the Rift Valley in Africa with an archaeological team from the UK," the girl said. ”

Another reporter asked: "Miss Gao, your expedition team often holds this kind of national tour press conference, and many people think that this kind of academic press conference can be held a few times, and there is no need to repeat it all over the country, they think that you are actually hyping up in the name of science, what do you think about this problem?" ”

The girl looked at the reporter, smiled and said, "I only do my own thing, I don't have any opinions." ”

A reporter with glasses asked: "Miss Gao, you sometimes say that you are an explorer, sometimes you say that you are an archaeologist, so are you an explorer or an archaeologist?" ”

The girl smiled and said, "...... I love adventure, but I also love archaeology. ”

A male reporter rushed to ask: "Miss Gao, I heard that there are many film and music companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan that want to sign a contract with you, hoping that you can become a new idol in the entertainment industry. ”

The girl said lightly: "There are indeed many entertainment companies that ask me to sign a contract, but I have rejected them." ”

A reporter then asked: "Miss Gao, as we all know, although you are an explorer, you have excellent conditions, you can become a movie star or singer, if you have the opportunity in the future, are you willing to step into the entertainment industry and develop into a high-profile star?" ”

The girl sneered and asked rhetorically, "Why did I do that kind of profession?" ”

There were still many reporters to ask questions, and the girl whispered, "I'm sorry, I still have something." She parted the crowd and saw many of her supporters standing in the hall at the end of the hallway, all holding flowers and presents and holding signs with her pictures on them, all waiting for her to appear. The girl pouted her cherry lips helplessly, frowned, she looked at her phone again, looked up and suddenly saw a person, and the girl was immediately happy.

An old man with a thin high-definition show walked over, the old man had gray hair, a kind expression, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gao, your scientific expedition this time is very good, especially your investigation report, which is very novel and very good." ”

The beautiful girl smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Xiao, are they here?" ”

The old man said, "The reception staff hasn't arrived yet, they didn't expect you to end so early, but they will arrive soon." He asked rhetorically, "Are you ready?" ”

The girl seemed to be looking forward to it, nodded and said, "Well, just go to the accommodation and pick up some luggage in a while, and the equipment can be prepared later." ”

The old man said, "Okay, let's go to the back door and wait for a while, they will come to pick us up immediately, this way." He pointed to a secluded hallway, where the two men had bypassed the crowd of reporters and supporters to the back door of the hall.

The two of them walked out the back door and down the stairs, but there was still a wide avenue outside the synagogue, and there was a lot of traffic. To the left of the synagogue are high-rise buildings, and the streets are bustling with people.

The girl and the old man were standing by a stone pillar next to the back door, and suddenly a black convertible sports car slowly stopped on the side of the road, it was a Bentley luxury sports car, and in the car sat a handsome man in a suit about thirty years old. The man took out a bouquet of flowers from the empty seat next to him, stepped out of the car elegantly, and said with a smile: "Miss Gao, I didn't expect you to come out of here, so I'm good to wait for you." ”

The girl looked at the man and did not speak.

The handsome man said, "Are you free tonight, I want to invite you to dinner." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not available." She knew the man, and the man had been pursuing her for more than a year, and every time she went to various parts of the country for an event, the man followed, and even twice for events in England and the United States, he also went. Every time he finished the event, he would wait for her to show up and wanted to date her, but she refused. However, this man is personable, never discouraged, and every time he is rejected, he will still show up next time.

The man was rejected by the girl again, but he was not surprised, he handed the girl flowers and a business card, smiled and said: "I happen to be in Yangzhou to do some business, I want to stay here for a few days, if you have time, please call me." After he finished speaking, he nodded politely to the old man, and then drove away.

The old man watched the man drive away, and said with a smile: "Xiao Gao, this is your friend?" ”

Seeing that the man was gone, the girl threw the flowers and business cards into the trash can, and said listlessly, "I don't know him, and I don't want to know him." "It's true that there are so many men who pursue her that it upsets her.

The old man showed a kind smile and asked, "Xiao Gao, you don't have a boyfriend yet?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, for me, scientific expeditions are the most important thing," the girl said. ”
