After the race in the outer courtyard, Wang Jiu led the mount and his companions back to the Shenjian Building, and lived a life of a pregnant woman who was idle all day long and waited for death to have a baby. And as the best decoration of this leisure day, there is nothing more than leaning on the window lattice and watching the busy work of the Shen family in recent days.

Less than half a month before the birthday banquet, the flying Shen family could be seen everywhere in Shen City. This period of time was very busy for the Shen family, especially the Shen family in the conference affairs group. Approaching the final sprint stage of the banquet, the busyness of the conference work has reached the point where it is difficult for mortals and others to interfere, and it has to be barely coped with by immortal monks.

Working 24 hours a day is just the norm, during which most of the staff put a circle of Shen family's special compressed dry food around their necks, and they bite it when they are dizzy and sweating, and the pure energy and large doses of stimulants contained in it will instantly return the staff to work. In addition, the lower body will be equipped with a material recycling device, which directly reduces the time wasted in the daily grain reincarnation.

In addition, if necessary, the conference leader and other major monks will perform high-end immortal techniques such as global space-time fracture to greatly extend the overtime time, and the feat of working overtime for up to 72 hours in a day can be achieved. If the cultivation is slightly weaker, it is inevitable that they will be consumed by this fanatical overtime system, and the dozens of strong men who serve as the main force of the conference team have also successfully become withered and in a trance in just a few days - outside time.

It has been said that the foundation of happiness comes from the misfortune of others. During the period when the Shen family was working so frantically, the Li family's holiday life was also extraordinarily enjoyable, and it was fun to drink tea, play cards and order takeout in the guest room every day. In particular, these people won a big victory in the race in the outer courtyard and won the guest qualification, so the Shen family was also responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation during this time, and the ordered takeaway was delivered by the staff of the Shen family's conference affairs team in their busy schedules.

This kind of meal seems to be even sweeter and more delicious in the mouth.

The days passed day by day, and finally, on the third day after the end of the race, the Li family received an invitation from the Shen family's birthday banquet team and an explanation of the birthday banquet process.

After opening the golden envelope, I saw that there were only three invitations and a process sheet inside.

Shen Qingming, who was in charge of receiving the letter, panicked on the spot, and when racing in the outer courtyard, there were 4 Li family members in the top five, Wang Jiu ranked first, Li Chaolu second, Li Wanqing third, Shen Qingming fourth, and Shen Feihong of the Shen family fifth. There should be four invitations, but where is the rest? Could it be that you can lose one of them with just such a change of hands?

If you really lose it, it will be a great crime! If you want to reissue this kind of invitation, I don't know how long it will take, with the treatment of the Li family in Shencheng, I am afraid that I will not have to queue up for Shen Ruoshi's 110th birthday banquet......

Fortunately, Li Wanqing had an idea: "Don't worry, I've been watching, there are only these three invitations in the envelope." What's more, even if we really lose it, we can make one on the spot. ”

Shen Qingming couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't have anti-counterfeiting when you are a person." ”

"What if there is, we can complain on the spot that the quality of their invitations is not up to standard. Or the anti-counterfeiting equipment is faulty, and they are required to ask their superiors for review. And as long as you double-check, you should naturally know that we are all genuine invited guests, so it doesn't matter if you just fake invitations. Speaking of this, Li Wanqing's brows furrowed, "Unless, they really only invited three people." ”

As soon as this question came out, everyone in the room was stunned. Shen Qingming immediately opened the three invitations, and saw that the invitees were Shen Qingming, Li Chaolu, and Li Wanqing.

The girl immediately frowned, even if her thinking was as simple as her, she realized that these three invitations were probably not the Shen family's work mistakes.

And then turned to the process sheet, which confirmed her guess, it was very clearly written that the three VIPs were invited to wait at the entrance of the Excalibur Building to greet them one hour before the banquet.

Three distinguished guests, the scarlet strokes will be particularly eye-catching.

"Why!?" Shen Qingming immediately didn't understand, "Ah Jiu is the first in the race, or the nominal leader of the envoy group, no one should leave him if he is not invited." ”

Li Wanqing also frowned and pondered, and after a while, she shook her head: "It's useless for us to think about this kind of thing, just ask the person concerned." ”

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Li Chaolu.

The girl who was enjoying almond tofu was a little hairy by this gaze, thinking that she was a melon-eating demoman in the race, what kind of party is it?

——

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside the master's suite, and the voice was full of indifference and impatience. Without waiting for Li Chaolu, who was in charge of greeting the guests, to stand up, the knock on the door sounded again, and this time it could already reflect a considerable sense of annoyance and anger.

can express such rich feelings through a simple knock on the door, it can be seen that the identity of the person outside the door is extraordinary, Li Chaolu cautiously walked to the door and opened the door, looked at the woman in a maid costume outside the door, forced a smile, and welcomed it in with a straight face.

"Please come in."

When the door closed, the maid's form twisted and distorted, revealing her true colors.

Shen Yueying said angrily: "I remember I said, don't use the name of a book friend to harass me anymore!" ”

Li Chaolu smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really urgent this time, but with our identity, we can't contact the deputy city lord, so we can only use the channel of the book club to contact the person in charge of the fanjin district and the senior meat commentator......"

"Don't go into such detail about my identity!"

"Yes, yes, that's how it ......"

"Wait." Shen Yueying stretched out her hand and interrupted Li Chaolu, "Bring the manuscript first." ”

Li Chaolu had no choice but to hand over the manuscript of "Nine Colors Dew", which he had just finished writing recently, to Shen Yueying. Shen Yueying took it and put it away carefully before asking, "What is the matter?" ”

Li Chaolu said: "A few days ago, a racing competition was held in the outer courtyard of the Shen family, and the top five were qualified to go to the banquet. ”

Shen Yueying naturally knew about this, nodded, and let out a rather mocking laugh: "Yes, thanks to our shrewd and empathetic right-hand man, things can be done so smoothly and properly." justifiably invited 5 Li family members to the birthday banquet...... What's wrong? Didn't you get four invitations, not enough? It's best not to be insatiable about this kind of thing, and it's a good thing that the fat man doesn't go, so as not to be embarrassed on the scene and ruin the atmosphere. ”

Li Xinyu was almost like someone had stabbed a dagger directly into his heart through the gap in his ribs, making a sound like a dead fish bursting foam.

Li Chaolu said with a smile: "Indeed, I think so too, that's why I ask Mr. Wang Jiu to eliminate the fat man." But now the question is...... We only got three invitations, and Mr. Wang Jiu's invitation did not come. ”

Shen Yueying was shocked when she heard this: "How come?" ”

"We also think it's strange, so we want to ask the deputy city lord, what's going on? Could it be that you think the results of the race are too ugly to lose, and you want to judge Ah Jiu for violating the rules? ”

Shen Yueying shook her head: "The Shen family will not do that kind of thing that they don't admit if they lose." But I am not responsible for the overall planning of the birthday party, but only participate in some details. The guest invited this kind of thing, and Shen Jinghai had the power to do it. So why Wang Jiu was not invited, I don't know very well...... I can help you ask, though. ”

As she spoke, Shen Yueying directly sent a divine thought, from the Divine Sword Tower to the other Deputy City Lord's Mansion.

After a while, Shen Yueying's face sank slightly.

"The secretary over there has already told me about the situation...... Shen Jinghai did report the quota of all four of you, but the city lord did not approve all of them. ”

——

At the same time, the deputy city lord's mansion in the inner city, Shen Jinghai was also full of helplessness.

Of the four places, the city lord only approved three, this kind of thing does not need to be reminded by outsiders, and he himself knows that it is not normal.

The rules of the race were approved by the city lord, and the Li family did win according to the rules - although the process was slightly controversial, at least Wang Jiu, who was in first place, undisputedly overwhelmed everyone present. However, in the end, he only suppressed Wang Jiu's invitation and did not send it, which is a bit ...... It does not conform to the consistent family style of the Shen family.

A good subordinate should not only faithfully implement the leader's intentions, but also remind the leader in a timely manner on some sensitive issues. At this time, even Shen Yueying was shocked, obviously she couldn't sit idly by, so Shen Jinghai considered the wording and raised his question.

Then I got a categorical answer.

"The appearance is vulgar and affects the mood."

Shen Jinghai knelt down at that time. is not only a reason for this domineering, but also for this unique aesthetic.

Wang Jiu looks vulgar? It's appalling. Shen Jinghai still clearly remembers the shock that Wang Jiu's flawless face brought him when they first met. As the right-hand man of the city lord, Shen Jinghai has insisted on being a perfectionist for decades, and he also has full confidence in his appearance. But when he saw Wang Jiu, this self-confidence was immediately shaken...... And in the eyes of the city lord, Wang Jiu is still vulgar?

So what are you? Sensitive words? Thinking of this, Shen Jinghai even had a sense of crisis, thinking about waiting for the birthday banquet to find a time to take a day or two of annual leave, and go to Liantian City or Jinyucheng for a plastic surgery......

On the other hand, Shen Jinghai had to fight for Wang Jiu again: "After all, he is a racing champion, and turning him away on the grounds of appearance will inevitably cause controversy." ”

Shen Ruoshi is not a completely arbitrary and self-righteous leader, he pondered for a while and said: "Indeed, completely rejected from the door, the etiquette is too much. By the way, when the time comes, there will be a separate private room for them in the position where no one is on the second floor of the birthday banquet, and the decoration will look good, so it will be said that it is a special for the champion. Eat and drink well, but don't let them leave the box, it's out of sight and out of mind. ”

“…… This is indeed a solution. Shen Jinghai could only smile bitterly and nodded, "But, they? ”

Shen Ruoshi said: "Yes, isn't there a fat man in the Li family who hasn't gotten the invitation yet?" Just let him stay in the box with that Wang Jiu, it can be regarded as special care. ”

After a pause, Shen Ruoshi asked again: "By the way, Jinghai, is there any way you can let those two cultivate a relationship in the box?" ”

“…… Ha? ”
