Chapter 489: Banquet (Medium)
Lin Haizhi said that with the outbreak of war, places like the Young Knights have naturally become a place where the major forces of the empire are vying for the right to speak in the future, so much so that the Rand family will arrange Lu Ming to increase their influence, and the five marquis families will naturally follow suit and find ways to send them into their future masters.
So meeting Lou Liangyu and others in the Knights was unexpected, but it was also reasonable.
But looking at their identities, it is obvious that they are still only quasi-non-commissioned officers who are waiting to be tried to enter the Knights. There is still no way to get around the hurdle of mission action.
Just when the five of them felt that they couldn't help themselves with fate, Lin Hai saw that everyone was annoyed in their eyes.
A voice with some joy sounded crisply from the side, "Lin Hai? ”
Lin Haixun looked over and saw Lu Manna, who was dressed in a small dress, walking towards him from where the crowd had gathered. Behind her, there was an elder who should have accompanied Lu Manna to the banquet, and nodded politely at Lin Hai, and his gaze fell on his armband, with a slightly strange expression.
Seeing Lu Manna, the expressions of the five people around Lin Hai became unnatural. Obviously, they are quite wrong with this little witch in the imperial capital.
"Five of you, go back and tell my brother that he has not been heard from since he joined the Knights, and he has not called to explain what the situation is...... Is this the rhythm of wanting to die? Lu Manna came closer, her beautiful eyes narrowed and narrowed to face the five people, and she smiled coldly, "If he is really diligent and diligent inside, it will be okay if he doesn't listen to foreign affairs...... The key is that he owes me 200 million eagle pounds before he enters the Knights, when will he pay it back? …… Although it was his dear sister...... But my portrait is clear about the accounts, and he has hid in the knights after the deadline, or should I just ask my aunt? ”
She Qingshu and the others behind Lou Liangyu showed a hint of annoyance, obviously aimed at the way she talked to them, but because of her Rand family, the identity of the witch of the imperial capital was inconvenient.
It was Lou Liangyu who opened his mouth, "Since Miss Nana has an order, we should obey it, and this word will help Miss Nana convey it to Lu Shao!" ”
Then the five excused themselves and left. Lu Manna stared at the backs of the five people, and the shallow smile made Lin Hai feel that this woman was not simple. was about to say something to her, but a white hand of hers crossed the crook of her arm, and between the wrist bands, she grabbed Lin Hai's elbow.
But it doesn't give people an overly close imagination, it's just like a formalized etiquette.
At this time, most of the men and women in the banquet hall walked together like this, and the ceremonies of men and women similar to holding hands were commonplace, only if the relationship between each other was really not deep, the limbs would appear distinct, and most of the others had male and female companions.
So at this time, Lu Manna lightly took Lin Hai's arm, which was also normal. also uses just the right form of distance to offset the discomfort of Lin Hai's slightly tight back.
Then she looked at it with a smile, "I've been paying attention to you, I heard that the mission operation is the final test for newcomers, I originally thought that the final trial has not been carried out, and most of you will not be here, but I didn't expect to meet it." ”
Just looking at her words, Lin Hai knew that she was by no means "always paying attention to herself" as she said on the surface, otherwise of course he would come to the swearing-in banquet today.
But Lin Hai didn't poke it either. But he noticed that Gu Xiaobei, who was chatting with the big man on the second floor, quietly gave him a thumbs up, and some people also clearly threw a look of surprise at him, some of them were stunned on the surface, how could a prospective non-commissioned officer who had not yet passed the trial have such a small enchanting and enviable female companion.
And those who know Lu Manna's identity are even more jealous, and even have unbelievable unkindness against his bold and reckless behavior. Even the man and woman who "sang and danced" before looked at him with the people around him.
But Lin Hai was slightly self-deprecating...... The demeanor is familiar and close, but the appearance is detached. This is probably the current portrayal of the two.
******
However, there was still a conversation between the two about maintaining communication, and the relationship between them was basically what Lin Hai had seen and heard in the Knights, as well as some of her things in the empire in recent months, and asked about the two hundred million that Lu Ming owed her, Lu Manna's slightly pointed nose shrugged, "Why do I want to lend him 200 million?" That's because there is a question within the Rand family about him, doubting his personal intelligence to create and keep wealth...... But you know that my cousin has never been good at this, but this time the doubts within the family are a little harsh, which is directly related to whether he comes to the Young Knights or goes back to Milan to study industrial theory...... In order to prove himself, he borrowed 200 million eagle pounds from me. ”
A girl who is not yet twenty years old can casually get 200 million, and it is very relaxed and not too painful......
Lin Hai had to expand his understanding of the heritage of the great aristocratic Rand family a lot.
As for Lu Ming's own lack of money, this is very understandable, as an heir, he will naturally be strictly constrained, even if he has the amount of wealth, he must let him understand the weight of wealth at different stages and his ability to control wealth step by step.
But 200 million eagle pounds...... If it is to be used for value-added, where will Lu Ming invest it?
And where to invest, can he rest assured after the investigation, and will definitely be able to increase the value and hand over a satisfactory answer to the family's internal questions?
Lin Hai felt that it was necessary for Li Qingdong to sort out the recent external equity participation funds of Xue Chuqing Company, were there any anonymous and disguised investors who brought 200 million?
******
Talking to Lu Manna while walking...... But Lin Hai could hear that Lu Manna didn't have the excitement and slight admiration that she first saw him a few months ago, and even a little distracted.
Her dark brown eyes were dark and blinking, but they were clearly on her mind.
It's just that in order to take care of Lin Hai's mood as a male companion, she covered it up just right.
However, for Lin Hai, Lu Manna's change of mentality could not avoid her sense of smell.
The swearing-in banquet suddenly took a turn, someone arrived, and it was a relatively important person, so that many people in the audience looked at the comer, and some people even greeted it.
And those who see what comes...... Originally, he was still chatting with Lin Hai about Tianlu Manna, and the rhythm of his tone was obviously disrupted, from a little distraction at the beginning to obvious absent-mindedness.
Then, in an instant, her bare hand, which was originally holding Lin Hai's elbow, was obviously stiff.
Lin Hai looked over, Li Yifeng, who had just arrived at the banquet, his calm and indifferent eyes were shooting at him Lin Hai.
It's Li Yifeng.
Li Yifeng, of course.
******
Since they met, Lu Manna's attitude towards Lin Hai has been changing.
From the initial arrogance and indifference, to the disgust that her idol was broken because he defeated Lu Ming, this disgust lasted for a while, and even during that period when she met her friends, whoever mentioned Lin Hai's name, she would go crazy, and the people in the circle were silent. But as the equation unfolds, Lin Hai's identity as the pilot "Will" exposed when he assassinated Garnathan instantly subverted her cognition. The disgust for him that had not dissipated before, but it was forcibly mixed with the reverence of idols, like someone who gave you a slap in the face and then kissed you hard, this painful and strange feeling.
So much so that she once had a very strong interest in Lin Hai and wanted to dig deeper into his connotation. For example, I want to understand why he is sometimes suddenly silent, why he sometimes laughs like sunshine, and sometimes he is like winter snow.
For a girl in the prime of her youth, a mysterious and powerful man is naturally the most attractive.
But what is so mysterious about Lin Hai?
After all, he is not Lu Ming, who has accumulated the Rand family for decades, nor is he one of the many outstanding people in Lu Manna's circle. Lin Hai's family background, as long as it is excavated, it will be clear.
Because it's clear, it's not mysterious enough. Even though she knew that Lin Hai had worked hard enough, he always had congenital defects...... Not mysterious enough.
And the mystery and power, not hard to fight but the strength of the gift, the strength of the family background, the mysterious temperament and demeanor, but it is the most itchy and most refusable drop of honey and poison in the girl's heart.
Lin Hai's simple background is obviously not enough for a girl to maintain her attractiveness, but around the girl, the person who is most in line with this temperament seems to have appeared.
Li Yifeng.
A family of famous imperial generals, the son of four-star general Li Yang. Major Officer of the Imperial Starfleet and former captain of the frigate USS Pegasus. Instructor of the Dawn Camp of the Imperial Young Knights. One of the "Ten Outstanding Young Youths" of the Empire in the first decade.
Such a person, since the first meeting at the Anna Sue family, has turned into a practical and clear image...... Just like that, it expands and emerges in front of your eyes.
******
And at this moment, the entrance to a banquet hall next to them was suddenly overwhelmed by a larger crowd and the sound of rustling.
Even Li Yifeng, who was coming at the other end, quickly moved his gaze and fell to the rear. At this time, apart from Tetsu Egami, the head of the Knights, who else could have such a momentum?
It was not Jiang Shang Zhe who came, but it was a figure who was not inferior to Jiang Shang Zhe in terms of the influence of the imperial capital.
Because it was a man and a woman who came.
is the same man and woman, but it is enough to make many non-commissioned officers ashamed of themselves in comparison with the "Acura Double Dance" that they have seen in the entrance passage before, so that many male and female companions present spontaneously retreated, just like the stars are obscure in front of the bright moon.
Even Lu Manna, who was beside Lin Hai, was facing the visitor for a while, and her eyes suddenly glowed with stars.
It seems that all eyes are on the man and woman.
The man was dressed in a red silk robe, on which there was gold embroidery of the emperor of all birds in ancient mythology, long black hair hanging down his shoulders, and his face was extremely handsome. Even many of the beautiful women present sighed to themselves. Like a handsome man in a red satin robe, there is only one person in the entire capital star, the Imperial Thirteen Round Table Separation Fire Vermilion Bird Family, the eldest son of the Zhu family, Zhu Deyong.
His arrival dwarfed the women in the audience.
However, there was only one exception, and it was the woman beside him.
The woman holding his hand was dressed in a light blue light gauze dress, and her hair was tied in an elegant and dignified conch bun. Just the figure that walked like a swimming fish grabbed the attention of the audience as if he wanted to suffocate for a while, and forgot that there was a thirteen round table next to Zhu Deyong.
Coax.
The first wave of the feast erupted in the audience.
Zhu Deyong, the eldest son of the host, and Xia Ying, the idol of the empire, came together.
Xia Ying greeted the surroundings and saluted.
But the pair of heart-grabbing eyes shook lightly when they fell in a certain direction.
Only those who are as careful as a hair can detect the trembling of her eyes, so that subconsciously their eyes are like light and lightning stabbing at the location that caused her beautiful eyes to tremble.
And Lu Manna clearly saw the trembling of Xia Ying's eyes, because from her point of view, it was no less than seeing a stream of autumn water crashing into a boulder blocking the river, and the ups and downs of the agitation were still terrifying in front of her.
Her mantis turned her head like lightning, she seemed to think of some rumor, so her beautiful eyes stared at Lin Hai as if she were looking at the culprit who caused the World Realm War.
The retina is like the maple leaf veins in late autumn, densely expanding and extending away.
I can't move it anymore.
