Chapter 186: The Academician's Welcome Ball
Catherine was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect the other party to say such a thing at all. Welcome to Reading She looked at the other party straight for a long time, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "Jiang Ping, I can't do this request of yours." β
When Jiang Ping heard this, he didn't give up, and asked, "What are you for, aren't you a researcher in the studio, isn't it difficult to get such a set of biological mecha?" Besides, I didn't ask for it for nothing, I could pay for it. β
Catherine listened, looked at each other as if she was looking at an idiot, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Ping, you don't know the Dao, this kind of biological mecha involves a number of advanced and cutting-edge biological science techniques, and it itself is a huge military secret. Such biological mecha are all produced in limited quantities, and each biological mecha is numbered, and the flow of each mecha is strictly controlled, and it is impossible for it to fall into the hands of outsiders. Now the only buyer of the biological mecha is the Federal Military Department, which is not sold to ordinary civilians at all! β
After a pause, a little ridicule appeared on her face, and she said, "Jiang Ping, it's not that I underestimate you, such a biological mecha is really sold to the outside world, do you think you can afford it?" Even the most ordinary civilian Type A will cost at least tens of millions of federal coins! β
Jiang Ping was stunned when he heard this, and then he also understood that his thoughts just now seemed to be too wishful thinking. How could a high-end and sophisticated individual weapon like a biological mecha be casually obtained.
Not to mention that Catherine is just a small ninth-level researcher in the studio, but her level is a few levels higher, and she is the core high-level of the studio, but I am afraid that she does not have the ability to get a biological mecha for nothing.
Perhaps, the whole studio. Only Academician Imidia has such a right to completely control the ownership of a biological mecha.
Seeing the other party's disappointed look, Catherine smiled and said, "Are you so interested in this biological mecha?" β
Jiang Ping did not deny it, and said: "I'm really curious, I don't know what kind of feeling this biological mecha will feel after wearing it, so that it can greatly improve the ability of the human body?" β
Catherine groaned for a moment and said, "If you are really interested, if you have the opportunity in the future." I can take you to the studio for a tour, and it's not impossible to experience the effectiveness of the biomecha firsthand. β
When Jiang Ping heard this, he was very looking forward to it, and said, "Then we will decide, if there is a chance in the future, you will take me to your studio to have a look!" β
"Didi-Di-"
The two were talking when Catherine's cell phone rang suddenly, and she glanced at the caller ID and answered the call. "Hey, Beckham," he smiled and said, "Hey, Beckham." Can I help you? β
I don't know what to say over there, Catherine shook her head hesitantly and said, "No, I think I'm still not going, I have something to do now, thank you for your notice." β
There seemed to be a few more words of persuasion, Catherine glanced at Jiang Ping opposite, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll think about it." β
With that, he closed the call.
Jiang Ping overheard her conversation. Then he asked, "Catherine, what's the matter at work?" If that's the case, go ahead and go and leave me alone. β
Catherine shook her head and said, "It's not a matter of work. It was a colleague of mine who informed me of today's ball. It was a welcome ball held by the military academy for the arrival of the big boss. I don't want to go, though. β
Jiang Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Such a ball." If you don't go, wouldn't it? If you want to go, just go, don't worry about me. β
Catherine said with some self-deprecation: "Forget it." It's just a welcome ball, and I'm just a little horn, and no one will notice me if I don't go. β
After a pause, she glanced at the other party, smiled coquettishly, and said, "Jiang Ping, do you want to go, if you want to go, I can take you there, there will definitely be a lot of high-level people in your military academy at the ball, this is a great opportunity for you to get to know them." β
Jiang Ping observed the words and could guess that the other party should have wanted to go to this ball, but he didn't want to leave himself here alone.
He immediately smiled and said, "Yes, then I'm really a little tempted." He scoffed at what the other party said and knew what high-level people in the military academy were, maybe being able to meet the talented and beautiful scientist of the Federation, Academician Imidia, was what he thought.
Catherine really wanted to go to this ball, she was a person who liked to be lively, and when she saw Jiang Ping agreeing, she smiled happily, and immediately stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then what are you waiting for, let's go now." The venue of the dance party is in the big dance hall on the top floor of Mingyue Xuan. β
Jiang Ping immediately stood up and followed the other party out.
I got on the elevator and went straight to the top floor of the hotel, where several waiters stopped the two at the intersection of the ballroom. Catherine showed her research credentials, and after the waiter saw it, she naturally respectfully let her go.
Jiang Ping showed his cadet card, but although he was a cadet of the military academy, he was not invited to this welcome ball, and of course it was impossible for an ordinary cadet to be allowed to enter.
"This is my invited dance partner." Catherine explained.
Hearing her say this, the waiter at the door hesitated for a moment, and then politely let her go.
When the two walked into the hall, a handsome brown-haired young man saw it, and he greeted Catherine warmly: "Catherine, you are finally here, I am waiting for you!" β
Catherine glanced at Jiang Ping beside her, and introduced with a smile: "Beckham, this is my friend, Jiang Ping, a cadet of the military academy, the dance partner I invited tonight." β
He said to Jiang Ping: "Jiang Ping, this is a colleague from my studio, Beckham, a thirty-five-year-old third-level researcher, is a young and promising scientific research backbone of our studio!" β
The young man Beckham listened to Catherine's introduction, and looked at the other party a few times, although he didn't say anything, but there was still a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes, the other party was just an ordinary military cadet, like him, a young and promising backbone of a top studio, naturally it was not likely to look at it.
And he could see that the relationship between the two seemed to be very close. And he had already thought about inviting Catherine to be his dance partner tonight, but he didn't expect that the other party had already invited the cadet in front of him to be his dance partner!
"Catherine, haven't we already agreed that you will be my dance partner tonight?"
Beckham said unrelentingly, as he spoke, he looked at Jiang Ping next to him, in his opinion, if the other party was interested. should take the opportunity to withdraw from it, his identity and status are here, the other party is just an ordinary cadet, what is there to fight with him?
It's a pity that Jiang Ping didn't seem to hear his words, and stood there motionless, without any expression at all.
Catherine smiled apologetically and said, "Beckham, you probably misunderstood, I just said I would attend." I didn't promise to be your dance partner, I already promised to be Jiang Ping's dance partner! β
Beckham didn't expect that. I said it so clearly, but the other party still rejected me, and my face was a little difficult to look at at the moment.
"Hey, Beckham, Catherine, why are you still standing here, let's go, I'll take you to meet a few friends, all of whom are leaders in the field of biology research at the Academy of Sciences. Getting to know them will be of great benefit to your future research work! β
At this time, a middle-aged man walked over and shouted to Beckham and Catherine.
Jiang Ping glanced at the comer, he still had some impressions of the comer, remembering that this person's name was Heidegger, and he was in Wang Hengxing at the beginning. I sold the purple sè vine to Imidia Studio, and I had a deal with this person.
Heidegger stepped forward, shouted at Beckham and Catherine, and turned to leave. For Jiang Ping next to him, he didn't look at it with his eyes.
Heidegger still admires a young and promising researcher like Beckham, and he even sees his former shadow in the other party, and he has always been supportive of the other party.
As for a newcomer to a studio like Catherine, although the performance is not bad, the studio is full of talents, and it would not have been in his eyes and attracted attention, but Heidegger found that it seems that the boss attaches more importance to the newcomers in this studio.
It is precisely because of this that Heidegger also began to pay attention to Catherine.
Of course, for Jiang Ping next to him, he had completely forgotten about it, and he didn't realize that the military cadet in front of him was the young man who sold the purple vines to the studio in Wang Hengxing and "slaughtered" the studio.
Hearing Heidegger's shout, Catherine looked at Jiang Ping, looking a little hesitant.
Jiang Ping knew what she was thinking, smiled faintly, and said, "Catherine, you can just go, don't worry about me." β
Catherine said, "Well, you stay here first, and I'll come when I go!" β
With that, he followed Heidegger with Nabeckham.
There were already a lot of people in the hall at this moment, talking softly in twos and threes, and from time to time there were hotel waiters, carrying plates of wine and delicacies, shuttling among the guests.
Those who were able to participate in this welcome ball were all figures with status and status, either experts and scholars who had made great achievements in the field of scientific research, or senior officers of military academies or senior generals of the military. In just a moment, Jiang Ping saw several generals carrying olive leaves and stars on their shoulders, including one-star brigadier generals, two-star major generals, and even three-star lieutenant generals.
These people all formed a small circle one by one, chatting eloquently, Jiang parallel walked in the hall, like a peerless and dúlì outsider, suddenly felt very bored.
A young man like him, an ordinary cadet, will not be paid attention to at all, and if anyone will notice him, it will also have doubts about his identity and origin.
At this time, a man in a straight suit and tie walked towards him, and accosted him: "I don't know your Excellency's surname, can you make a friend?" β
This big man was actually in plainclothes mixed in the ball, responsible for the security of tonight's ball, and saw that Jiang Ping seemed to be "suspicious", so he came over to interrogate him.
From the other party's flickering gaze, Jiang Ping seemed to understand something, but he didn't care much, and replied lightly: "Jiang Ping, cadet." β
The plainclothes man continued to interrogate: "How did classmate Jiang enter the ball, you must know that tonight's ball is not open to ordinary students. β
Jiang Ping said: "Of course I know that I was invited here. β
The plainclothes man continued to ask reluctantly, and said, "Then I don't know who invited classmate Jiang to?" β
Jiang Ping replied patiently: "Catherine, a researcher in Academician Imidia's research studio. After a pause, he added a sentence as if jokingly, and said, "It's a big beauty with a first-class figure and appearance." β
"Catherine?" The plainclothes man silently read the name on his lips, but he didn't have any impression. Catherine was just a small ninth-level researcher in the studio, and the plainclothes man naturally didn't know what to do.
The plainclothes man refused to give up, and continued to ask: "Then I wonder if classmate Jiang can tell me where this lady Catherine is now?" β
Jiang Ping turned his eyes around, the dance hall was very large, and there were a lot of people, and he couldn't see Catherine for a while, so he spread his hands helplessly and said, "She doesn't seem to be here now." β
When the plainclothes man heard this, his face suddenly became serious, and he said, "If that's the case, I'm sorry, classmate Jiang, I can only ask you to go out." β
After saying that, he quickly showed a document to the other party, and said, "I am responsible for the security of tonight's ball, please cooperate." β
After that, his eyes were firmly fixed on the other party, and the muscles of his whole body were already in a tense state, and when the other party made any abnormal moves, he was going to use a thunderous blow to subdue the other party.
Jiang Ping smiled faintly, didn't bother to say more to the other party, and directly took out a gold business card, lit it in front of the other party, and said with a hint of teasing: "Mr. plainclothes, please take a good look, do you still want to invite me out?" β
The plainclothes man's eyes swept over the name on the gold business card, his face changed suddenly, he took the business card and looked at it carefully in his hand, his attitude suddenly became extremely respectful, he handed the business card back to the other party, bowed and said, "Sorry, disturbed!" I didn't expect that Your Excellency is a friend of the academician, and I hope you will forgive me for the offense just now! β
After that, he didn't dwell on it any more, and then turned and left.
There was another colleague of his nearby, who had noticed the situation here for a long time, and when he saw him going up violently, he retreated in a daze, and was quite puzzled in his heart, so he stepped forward at this moment and asked him softly, "Who is that person?" β
The plainclothes man looked back at Jiang Ping who was not far away, and said in a deep voice: "That person is not simple!" It is a friend of Academician Imidia and has the business card of an academician! β
