Chapter 42: Yang Mou (I)
Although the Federation is a large collection composed mainly of humans, there are still very big differences in people's customs and architectural styles on different planets.
For example, the Firebird Star is built inside a mountain, and the huge space spreads underground, and the entire surface of the planet shows a barrenness, but inside the planet, it is an extremely long mine road created by civilization and a place for human gathering. In Tianlan Star, it is a giant building that stiffly highlights the strength and corners, and the huge building that is often thousands of meters high reflects the strength of the Western Army to the fullest.
And in the headquarters of the Southern Army, the Shuo Sun Star is a semi-circular city floating on the water, a transparent and hard urban shell, reflecting the standard urban structure, with a warm and soft feeling, but at the bottom of the city, in an invisible place under the cover of the vast ocean, countless giant high-energy particle cannons, but hide its strong and powerful side, under the seemingly calm and soft surface.
In Nanxing, the style of architecture has changed greatly, in this planet where there is almost only a tertiary industry, except for the thousands of floors of buildings built by "Nanxing Entertainment", the buildings are mostly circular or semi-circular, like various creatures crawling on the ground. Just like the jellyfish-shaped building at No. 9 Changsheng Road, the Hechai family covers an area of thousands of acres, surrounded by a variety of strange plants, and is hidden in the depths of the deep forest composed of native plants of Nanxing.
The Chai family's dwelling, looking down from the spaceship, looks like a giant beast in armor half buried in the soil, and the energy-absorbing material covering the surface of the building, like the scales of a giant beast, has clear divisions and corners in the sun. The whole building is majestic and solemn, showing the foundation that the Chai family has accumulated in Nanxing for hundreds of years.
When Chai Jiamu stepped off the spaceship, the waiter of the Xiluo tribe, who had been waiting here, bowed slightly, and then said, "Young master, the boss has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
He made a gesture of invitation with both arms, and the other two arms tried to support Chai Jiamu.
Chai Jiamu waved his hand, he watched Xiao Bai walk off the spaceship and said, "Do you remember what I said?" For the sake of my youth, don't talk nonsense when the time comes. ”
The forest on the periphery of the Chaijia residential area opened Xiao Bai's eyes. It is a private estate that gathers most of the flora and fauna of the South Star, and it is the Museum of Flora and Fauna of the South Star. The purple-red fern-like towering plants and the low blue grass are intertwined, and the roar of animals can be heard in the forest. On the house-like flowers, there are countless small creatures that clearly have the wisdom to use the plants of the forest and roll up their petals to build a habitat for the community. But the arrival of human beings has cut off the possibility of them evolving into advanced intelligent life, which makes people sigh.
The aircraft flew silently in the forest for a few minutes before arriving at the beast-like building in the middle of the forest, taking the elevator to the top floor, in the window room, Chai Chu sat at the large desk, quietly looking out the window over the forest scenery.
Although the colorful forest is refreshing, Chai is obviously not enjoying the view, because when Chai Jiamu walked into the room lightly, Chai Jia turned the back of the chair and said expressionlessly: "If you don't let you come back, how long will you hang outside?" ”
Chai Jiamu's age looks like a big boss who controls many industries in Nanxing, although he is the same as Chai Jiamu, his hair is meticulously combed, but he lacks Chai Jiamu's impetuousness, and the whole person looks steady and restrained, and the fluctuation of the source power around him clearly shows that this is a strong man above level 3 of the fighter.
A big boss who runs a business all the year round is actually a strong man, which makes people feel amazing, but his son is a waste who only knows how to spend money, and what makes Xiao Bai even more speechless is that although Chai Jiamu is trying to pretend to be mature and sophisticated outside, in front of Chai Jiamu, he seems to have become a docile lamb. He lowered his head slightly and whispered, "Didn't I come back?" ”
This atmosphere, like an officer reprimanding a soldier, made Xiao Bai feel at a loss. Although Xiao Lixuan can't be regarded as a perfect father, he is definitely a good father, and after 16 years of dependent life, Xiao Lixuan is more like his spiritual mentor and friend. Thinking of his father, Xiao Bai's heart was slightly sour, and his mood became a little depressed.
Chai Chu's gaze crossed Chai Jiamu and fell on Xiao Bai's body, he squinted his eyes slightly, looked up and down, and said, "You are Xiao Bai?" ”
Chai Chu's tone was very unpolite, and the young man's stubborn temper began to work again, he looked directly at Chai Chu and didn't answer, just nodded.
As for Xiao Bai's details, after learning that Chai Jiamu and Nianhua Academy jointly vouched for him, Chai Chu did a detailed investigation and learned that the boy was from the Firebird Star in the Western Administrative Region, and was brought to the South Star by the Southern Army from the Western Army, and the young man's financial situation seemed to be extremely embarrassing.
The Southern Legion came forward to bring people from other boroughs, and there were times in the history of the Union, but it was a very long time ago. It can be seen that if Xiao Bai is not in the high-level military in the south, he is very valued. But Nianhua's arrangement for him is confusing, and in this regard, Chai Chu smells a subtle taste from it.
So Chai said, "Jiamu, you go down first, and go back and explain to me some of the things that have happened recently." ”
Dad actually said two sentences so lightly and let himself go, this is the first time in the world, so Chai Jiamu raised his head in surprise, staring at Chai Bai with some puzzlement, obviously Dad didn't let Xiao Bai go, it seemed that he had something to say to him, Chai Jiamu stared at Xiao Bai suspiciously for a long time, before turning around and slowly pacing out of the room.
Soon the waiter's voice came from outside the room: "Young master, the boss said that there is something important to discuss, so don't stand outside the door." ”
Immediately, Chai Jiamu's indignant voice came, "I'm just standing here admiring the paintings in the corridor, how can you treat me like a thief?" Why are you subordinates so ignorant!"
When Chai Jiamu's last voice came, the voice was already inaudible, and it was obviously far away. Chai Chu stared at Xiao Bai and said calmly: "I have inquired, and you and Jia Mu have had a good relationship recently. What kind of person do you think Kamu is? ”
His calm tone seemed to be asking others to evaluate something that had nothing to do with him, which made Xiao Bai a little surprised. Moreover, although he had thought of thousands of words in his heart to deal with Chai Chu, he couldn't have imagined that he would let others evaluate his son first, so Xiao Bai was suddenly a little at a loss, and he didn't know whether Chai Chu wanted to listen to other people's flattering lies to make him happy, or if he really wanted to know what others thought.
So Xiao Bai thought for a while and said seriously: "He is a friend worth dating." ”
This sentence comes from the heart, Chai Jiamu is indeed a person worth associating, this is not because he spends money without scruples, but because he is righteous, has no scruples and no scheming. Moreover, Xiao Bai's sentence is not aimed at Chai Jiamu's conduct, nor does it involve the judgment of people's behavior, it is the safest statement.
Xiao Bai's words didn't make Chai Chu sigh, and his eyebrows furrowed, "I know you're afraid of offending me, what Jiamu is like, I know very well." Among the three families of the so-called Nanxing, only Jiamu is called a waste by others. This makes me, as a father, feel very uncomfortable. I've often wondered if Jia Mu would change his personality and style if he was allowed to stay with the geniuses and elites of Nianhua Academy, but it doesn't seem to have much effect now......"
Chai Chu's seemingly sincere words made Xiao Bai feel unbearable, because this kind of remark that seemed to have nothing to do with him was definitely not caused by Chai Chu's feelings, and there must be things related to him later, so he cheered up and pricked up his ears to listen to Chai Chu's next words.
"As for you," Chai Chu said sharply: "I have inquired, I can get the attention of the military, I have to say that he is a genius, Jiamu can make a friend like you, it is his luck ......"
When Chai Chu said this, Xiao Bai sighed secretly in his heart, the topic related to himself really came. For the image of Chai Chu, he can't say whether it is good or bad, such people often wear a mask, and will not easily show their true emotions and thoughts, and come to see Chai Chu, but also out of respect for friends, not to ask for the Chai family.
Therefore, Xiao Bai directly interrupted Chai Chu's words and said, "Uncle Chai, if you have any opinion of me, just say it directly." ”
Xiao Bai interrupted the topic without manners, making Chai Chu silent, but his face was still calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger at all, and after a while, Chai Chu said slowly: "It's been a long time since anyone talked to me like this." And from the mouth of a 17-year-old boy, you are still the first. ”
