Chapter Ninety-Eight: First Meeting
This enthusiasm is a bit too much.
As the chairman of the association, no matter what kind of dilemma he is currently facing, he is also the nominal first person in the domestic magic world, no matter in terms of status or age, there is no need to get up and leave to greet the door.
What's more, now, the northern magic world has become a plate of scattered sand again because of the death of Yu Chengshi, and the southern mages represented by Su Lianzhang are re-occupying the top of the struggle, and there is no need to be so polite to Yong Bowen, who is likely to become a representative of the northern magic world.
Yong Bowen inquired, when Yu Chengshi returned to the general association for the first time since the chairman of the Spring City Mage Association, he was already the head of the world's most famous army, compared to Yong Bowen's strength now, although the chairman of the general association at that time also set up a banquet, but there were only a dozen people in attendance, when Yu Chengshi arrived, the chairman only owed his ass in his original position, even if he was welcome.
As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief!
"Chairman Su, you are too polite."
Although Yong Bowen was vigilant, he didn't have any intelligence sources at the General Assembly, and he didn't know which one Su Lianzhang was singing, so he had to secretly remind himself to be more careful, but there was still a sense of harmony on his face.
Su Lianzhang held Yong Bowen's hand and didn't let go, pulling him inside, and everyone who followed behind him consciously dispersed to both sides, making way for the two to pass in the middle, Su Lianzhang introduced the participants to Yong Bowen while walking.
The people who followed Su Lianzhang the most were all elderly, with two vice chairmen, a secretary general, the president of the general association, vice presidents, a number of executive directors, and the head of the headquarters.
Good fellows, this formation is almost in time to welcome the visit of the chairman of the jurist committee, and all the people in the two groups of the whole general association have actually arrived.
Yong Bowen only knows a few people, like Bao Zhengguo, who has served as the chairman, like Shu Xiangzhen, who has been promoted to vice chairman, and Lu Fei, the executive director, who have all dealt with before, but more have only seen relevant information, there are videos and pictures, and it is the first time to face a living person.
Although she is the vice chairman, Shu Xiangzhen is quite backward, when Su Lianzhang introduced her, she took the initiative to step forward, held Yong Bowen's hand and said with a smile: "I and Master Xiaoyong can be regarded as old acquaintances, last year when I followed Chairman Bao to Spring City to watch the hell open, I dealt with Master Xiaoyong, at that time Master Xiaoyong was still a young child, this is only half a year's work, and it is also a hegemon." Master Xiaoyong, welcome to the General Assembly, you are belated, you should have come at the National Congress! ”
"It's true that something happened in hell that delayed it, but I myself have long wanted to come and always meet your seniors." Yong Bowen lowered his posture very low, "I still remember Vice Chairman Shu's teaching in Spring City that day." ”
Shu Xiangzhen smiled and said to Su Lianzhang: "Chairman, let me introduce you to the next, so many people are standing here and crowded, why don't you go to your own seat, how about it?" ”
Su Lianzhang laughed heartily: "Shu Li will rob this good messenger, or okay, everyone should sit separately." Master Yongda, how about Shu Li introduce you to some young people from the association? ”
Although it was the tone of soliciting Yong Bowen's opinion, after listening to Su Lianzhang's first half of the words, the people who were originally standing neatly had already returned to their seats, probably no one really thought that Yong Bowen would have any objections, or didn't care about Yong Bowen's opinion at all.
"Then it's troublesome Shuli, I'm a newcomer, I'm not familiar with life, and I want to make more friends!" Yong Bowen would not raise any objections without interest, and after politely sending Su Lianzhang back to his seat, he followed Shu Li to the table on the east side.
There were four tables sitting there, all of whom were young mages in their twenties and thirties, and the other badges on their chests were either red or green, and even the blue emblems were rare, and Lu Fei was among them.
Shu Xiangzhen led Yong Bowen forward, smiling, not seeing his lips move, but the low voice had already reached Yong Bowen's ears.
"Be careful, Su Lianzhang issued a blockade order before the banquet, and he has used a magic circle to isolate this banquet hall, and no mages who are engaged in news gathering work are allowed to enter, and everyone is not allowed to carry video and camera equipment with them, and when they enter the door, even their mobile phones are taken away. Something would definitely happen at the banquet, but Su Lianzhang didn't want any solid evidence of it. This old guy has always had a good face, you are the newest Purple Emblem member of our Chinese Mage Association, and the youngest Purple Emblem member in the world, no matter how you look at you, you have to maintain your face externally. I guess he wants to teach you a lesson at this banquet, in front of so many people, and beat your arrogance a while ago. This matter can be spread out, and he may even deliberately arrange for someone to spread it on his own initiative, but he will never allow any video evidence to prove it, so as not to give foreign forces an excuse to make trouble. I heard that some people have recently questioned your purple emblem qualification at the regular standing meeting of the International Commission of Jurists. ”
When they reached the most marginal table, the young mages who had just sat down hurriedly stood up again, and Shu Xiangzhen smiled and said: "Master Xiaoyong, let me introduce you, the people sitting at this table are all young mages who serve in various departments of the General Association, this is Qian Xinghe of the Danyuan faction, who is currently working in the Demon Affairs Department, this is Zhao Xiaoguo of the Liumu faction......"
The young mage sitting at this table is dressed like a very orthodox kind of mage, and when he greets Yong Bowen, he is also calm and generous, and he is well-behaved. Listening to Shu Xiangzhen's introduction, all of them are young backbones of various practical departments of the association, and every one of them has a deep background.
After introducing this table, he came to the next table, and Lu Fei sat at this table. The people at this table are all working in the council, Lu Fei is the highest position among them, and the others are either executive directors or ordinary officers, but if they can have a position in the general council, it can't be a wild mage on the side of the road.
Go to the next table. The mages at this table are relatively younger, but the image is also quite messy, and many of them are dressed up and even quite non-mainstream, if they meet fiercely in the middle of the night, most of them will be treated as demons and monsters. The mages at this table have no actual positions, but listening to the introduction, they are either the sons of the head of this family, or the daughter of the head of the family, all of whom deserve their second ancestors.
The people at this table looked at Yong Bowen's eyes full of hostility.
Originally, Yong Bowen was still a little puzzled, but after listening to their names, he knew the reason.
There are quite a few names among them, he has already seen them in the materials given by Wei Rong, and they have also been revealed by Wei Rong on the forums of the major/mage associations.
That wave of failed cyber attacks was launched by this table.
It's just that there is no Bering Sea in this table.
Didn't come, or was it at the last table.
Yong Bowen subconsciously glanced at the last table.
The number of mages sitting at this table was relatively small, only eight or nine people, and judging from the position of the surrounding seats, there was a feeling that the stars were holding the moon, and one of them was just right to be highlighted. Zhang Feng, who saw that the road was uneven, sat in it.
The man looked like he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, with long curly hair, a thin face, and a very handsome appearance, but he was wearing a rather rustic sportswear, playing with a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and was looking at Yong Bowen quite playfully.
When Shu Xiangzhen led Yong Bowen to this table, everyone else stood up, but the curly-haired young man did not move at all, leaning on the back of the chair, stilting Erlang's legs, holding his arms, and staring at Yong Bowen coldly.
Shu Xiangzhen frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just didn't see it, and said: "Although these people don't serve in the association, their names are not small, and there is a title called Little Shijie......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the curly-haired young man suddenly throw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, sit there and arch his hand at Yong Bowen, interrupting Shu Xiangzhen's words, "In the Bering Sea, Yongda Heavenly Master, I have admired the name for a long time!" ”
