Chapter 4: The Night Banquet
Duke got out of the taxi, said goodbye to the old black of the intelligence bureau, walked straight to the front desk, showed Assan's room order number, took the room card, and entered room 5 on the twenty-eighth floor.
Duke, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, had the style of a returnee, and he walked to the 36th floor of the reception and dance hall, where he heard the deputy mayor of Lawrence giving a congratulatory speech, and was about to enter, but was stopped by the security guard.
"Sir, please show me the invitation. "The security guard was polite.
"Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get it. "Duke was abroad, and he was never asked to give advice to attend meetings, and no one would make such an impertinent request.
Duke returned to the lobby on the first floor and walked around.
"I'm sorry, I ran into you, I'm in a hurry. The young man was a little flustered.
"It doesn't matter. Duke replied, in fact, this is his judgment based on the pace and direction of the other party, knowing that there will be a chance collision when the other party and himself remain in the same direction, and what he wants is the opportunity that the collision will bring him.
Duke into the crowded elevator that collapsed, from the outfit and temperament, are to participate in the talent introduction party, it seems that the problems of the Chinese people have not changed, the meeting especially likes to be late, the leader is late to show his position, the general energy people are late because they do not pay attention, now the scientific and technological workers are starting to be late, because they know that they are green leaves, is the embellishment of the leadership.
"Sister Quan, you don't need to come, I heard that Dean Wang has greeted President Duliang, and the cost of introducing talents is seven figures, and the supporting experimental equipment will be in place soon. "The young man has the talent of a young cub.
"You know what, I'm just here to hang out, the city lord and the school management are in attendance, and this night banquet is very high. "The wavy hair can't hide the pride of puffing up the chest, and the pride shows off the pride of mastering the information and the backing of the source of the information yourself.
"I see, if it weren't for Sister Circle, how could the little one have the opportunity to enter such a high-end circle, behind Sister Circle is an evergreen tree in politics, we don't ask much, just follow Sister Mix. Someone answered on the side, and it was obvious that these three or four were in a group, and they were very happy holding each other's stinky feet.
Duke and the others consciously kept a certain distance between them, so as not to pollute themselves with the smell of incense on their bodies, after all, the scholars were forced to be high when they did not encounter money and power.
The security guard saw that this group of people who rushed to the scene were dressed a little luxuriously, and there were many people, and it was not good to form a crowd at the door, so they carelessly let them go, of course, there was another one who forgot to ask for advice, Duke could only be humble, and he didn't mean to borrow him, he happened to bump into the road of the person Duke wanted to borrow.
Duke picked up the wine glass and took a sip, sweet and sour, not fully fermented low-end wine, but he hadn't eaten well for a long time, the wine here was not good, the food was rich, not the top ingredients but could be fried, and the baking was just right.
Duke eats, maintaining a certain regularity in elegance, like flowing water, with a sense of beauty.
"Where do we not know each other in life, we meet again so soon. The slim Yan Ru stood beside Duke.
"A beautiful girl at the scene of the car accident. Duke looked closely at this woman, who was very harmful to the country and the people.
"Yan Ru, visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania, it's a pleasure to meet you. Yan Ru's self-confident and self-confident vision, Duke is by no means ordinary, this is not only temperament, but also a person's charm, which is also the reason why she has become a professor all the way and can soon become a young leader in China.
"We're very close, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, Duke. Duke stretched out his hand, and as he judged, the woman's hand was like jade, very textured.
"Xiaoru, who is this? An old man with half-haired crane hair and a pampered tone walked over.
"National Day, alumni who met by chance, let's talk another day, and City Lord Li is waiting for us to toast." There was love and closeness in his tone.
Yan Ru smiled apologetically at Duke and pulled up the arm of the old man called National Day, very birdy.
Duke scolded in his heart, he was really disrespectful to the old, and the only good cabbage that looked a little pleasing to the eye after returning to China was arched by a bald pig.
The music sounded in the air, and the talented and beautiful women danced.
Duke felt that his desire to get involved in Lawrence International University was about to be frustrated, this whole was a prosperous and peaceful world, no one talked about majors, and there was no latest scientific research and innovation report to publicize, so that people who really know how to evaluate the character of others, and he wanted to be recognized by others with his professional level, which may become a delusion.
In the bathroom, Duke squatted in the pit, thinking about how the signal in Lausanne could be interrupted, and what clues he had, and had a headache.
The sound of the collision of untimely men and women next door sounded, Duke lifted his pants, patted the door, and made a clanging sound, no hair, it is estimated that this pair of wild mandarin ducks is entering the realm of no one, and they can't stop, the sound of the soul is gone, like a magic sound, the times are really changing, and people are incorruptible and shameless, and they are unscrupulous.
Duke washed his hands and wanted to be calm and calm, if the young people of Ze Yuanguo were as open as they are now, he would not be a single person to this day, and he would not have to have so many twists and turns with Lausanne.
The choking aroma hit, Duke raised his head, it was the woman who called Sister Circle in the elevator, the makeup on her face had been spent, and she couldn't see the arrogance when she was in the elevator, it was estimated that she was too completely conquered by men.
"Little Wu, are you on duty again today?"
"No, it's really unlucky, it's thirty-six floors. ”
"You can ask for more blessings, this layer is evil. ”
"It's not Xiaoli yet, life and death are here, and the salary is much higher than outside. ”
"Well, it's good that she's ugly, and if she's pretty, you don't want to be a cuckold. ”
"Your uncle, do you have such a brother? ”
"Okay, come and smoke the roots, don't be angry, you forgot, which one is called Xiaoxue at the front desk, it was wrapped up by someone else, and it was thrown away after playing for two days. ”
"This kind of thing, it's not strange, if you have money, you can only feed the lord, you can only feed the lord, I sighed, don't be seen by the supervisor. ”
Duke smoked a cigarette in the corridor, listening to the two security guards chattering here, feeling that everyone had troubles, he threw down the cigarette butt and snorted, the two little security guards were silent for a while, and when he walked to the corridor, there was no one in the figure, it seemed that he was familiar with the way and deserted.
The taste of the wine has improved significantly, and it seems that the banquet is entering a climax, and in the country of Zexiao, the level of many things is reflected in the wine, and the drink must be high, otherwise, the host will lose the share, and the guest will drop the price, which is precisely to slander himself as a high-end person.
"Little brother, what's the trouble with drinking here?" Duke saw that on the best seat he had chosen to eat and drink, there was a young man with eyes, depressed, and very unsatisfactory was written on his face.
"Damn, I worked hard to get a ticket, I just want to see and see, what is a high-end talent, what kind of technology has high-end talents mastered, how technology creates wealth, I don't know for a long time, so, let's drink a few more glasses, and bring my wife back to talk. "Jia Yaozhu is very depressed, he originally made some hard-earned money by digging coal in Xiyuan, who knows that the deep water of the Jingshi has been tossed away, I heard that Lawrence City is the real gold and silver nest, but I didn't expect to come here at a loss.
"Duke, know know. ”
"Jia stopped, people called me Lao Jia. ”
The two poured each other a glass of wine and chewed their elbows together, which is very good at eating meat and drinking a lot, which is called acquaintance at first sight.
"Now, young people don't lack talent, they don't lack money, they don't lack connections, do you know what they lack?" Duke drank two glasses of wine, his mood was a little high, and he began to shake a little cleverness, after all, Lao Jia can keep up with his own rhythm, a bit of a fellow believer.
"What's missing?" Jia Yao's eyes lit up, this person was good at first glance, just look at the meat-eating frame, he was a ruthless person, he could find some ideas in him, and he was immortal, and he spent 50,000 yuan on the entrance fee for a ticket.
"Dreams. Duke looked around at the drunken dreamers.
"Dream ......" Jia Yaozhu didn't understand too much, he lacked everything, what he lacked most was money, what was his dream, it was too far away from him.
"There is tangible wealth and intangible wealth in human society, and the reason why the glorious Shanghai has become a financial capital is not because of its high buildings, not because of the busy traffic, the key is to realize all this, only people dare to think, can they level the ground and ...... high-rise buildings. Duke saw Jia Yao's stop, he listened very seriously and talked more, and he was idle, just as a side dish with wine, this Jia Yao's ambition was not only on his face, he exuded an aura of achievement, very much like himself back then.
"Teachable, teachable. Jia Yao stopped listening and drank a few glasses in a row, and the Duke cup of wine stopped moving except for the three glasses on the meeting gift, and he didn't dare to persuade him, such a great god, being able to eat together is a great creation, and he can't mess with the other party.
"Which woman saw it?" Duke pointed to Yan Ru, who was dancing with the deputy mayor.
"As long as you have the opportunity to lean in, dream that this thing will be closer to you. ”
"Such a beauty, how could it be in my hands. Jia Yao stopped swallowing.
"You'll have a chance. "Duke is definitely encouraging.
"Duke, another day, let's talk again, we will be brothers in the future, if you have any difficulties, as long as I can help, I will be willing to do it. Jia Yao stopped, somewhat understanding what Duke meant.
Duke saw Jia Yaozhu walking towards the gorgeous dancer, and sighed in his heart, it is really a bypass, talent, the mountains are difficult to climb, you must always find the entrance, build the ladder, many people understand, but rarely can lower their heads, Jia Yaozhu has this talent, one point can be passed, and he can practice it.
The women at today's banquet are of very high quality, and it can be seen that they are divided into two categories, one type, with a strange posture, and obviously after exclusive training and employment, they will prepare an active atmosphere for some special needs. There is another category, which can be seen to be college students, pure and shy, with buds, and naturally has a kind of seductive beauty.
"Beauty, could you please have a drink?" Duke decided to try his luck and find out what was going on at Shanghai International University.
"Well, I don't drink. ”。
"Then I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha. Duke beckoned, and the waiter brought a drink.
"Thank you. The girl took a sip.
The girl seems to be involved in the matter, but Duke is not a villain.
"Isn't it, I envy the handsome men and women on the dance floor. Duke looked at the girl, his eyes straightened.
"Well, some, they're all so highly educated, and they're so talented. The girl rubbed her feet.
"All you see are shiny skins and a real diploma. Duke has some opinions on the girl's self-doubt, and now there are a few returnees who are really talented and learned, but they are just crossing into gold, coming back to make a transition, if they are really talented, they have already been polished out of the light in foreign laboratories, and they are still used here to make friends with Dagui, and look at people's names to find a way out.
"Sir, you're talking too much. ”
"Some pretend to be deep in the city!" the little girl showed her mischievous tiger teeth.
Duke was a little stunned, this girl really has the beauty of the world.
"Xiaoxue, come, I'll introduce you to a nobleman. "A girl dressed in red walked from the dance floor, taking the pure route, and her face was obviously a little longer than Little Snow Girl.
The girl smiled apologetically at Duke, she still had something to ask for here, Duke was very handsome, but he couldn't wipe his real face, otherwise, he wouldn't be qualified to participate in such a dance at all.
Duke spread his hands in understanding.
