If you want to recommend a place to eat in Star City, Red Mansion, as a private dining place, will undoubtedly be among the first choice for most people who are familiar with Star City. It has not only been featured in various food magazines many times, but also a check-in restaurant for many well-known hosts and big-name celebrities to come to Star City.

Standing diagonally opposite the Xiangnan International Convention and Exhibition Center, by the Liuyang River, the Red House is not a building composed of glass curtain walls and reinforced concrete in the city, but a red wooden structure water pavilion far from the urban fashion, which is full of classical context of Chinese romantic feelings.....

At this moment, Cheng Mo is waiting for a meal in one of the VIP private rooms called Wangjiang Tower, on one side of his side is the continuous river water dyed red by the setting sun, and on the other side is the green tile glass against the background of the willow leaf lotus pond, this pleasant and wonderful scenery alone is worth the expensive price.

In the center of the spacious private room is a mahogany dining table, where celadon vases and orchids are everywhere with Chinese charm.

Six people sat around the table, in addition to Cheng Mo, Yan Funing, Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong, there were also Fu Yuanzhuo's girlfriend Feng Qianqian and Feng Qianqian's sister Feng Zhenzhen.

Although Feng Qianqian and Feng Zhenzhen are sisters, they don't look like each other at all, Feng Qianqian belongs to the kind of quiet and lovely well-behaved appearance that looks like a girl from someone else's family, wearing a light blue Dior dress, dyed chestnut hair hanging behind the ears, a row of slightly curly (quan) Qi bangs inlaid with big eyes shining with lake light, the bridge of the nose is high and the tip of the nose is small, sitting in the silhouette of the sunset, the red lips like water chestnuts bloom with a slight smile.

As for Feng Zhenzhen, her personality is obviously more flamboyant, the blood-red hollow lace skirt with a pair of light brown boots makes her fair-skinned legs look more slender and slender, her well-groomed long golden hair is permed with big waves, thick eyebrows, bright lips, and slightly baby fat cheeks, but it does not damage the glamorous feeling at all, mixed with her shallow smile, showing a different temperament.

Feng Qianqian and Feng Zhenzhen are both studying at St. Paul's Girls' High School in the United Kingdom, Feng Qianqian is in the eleventh grade, which is equivalent to the first year of high school in China, and Feng Zhenzhen is a sophomore in Oxford.

St. Paul's Girls' High School is the cradle of countless female celebrities, with a lot of famous models, movie actors, female economists, and social celebrities, not the kind of aristocratic high school that can be entered if you have money;

In short, it can be said that this pair of sisters is outstanding in terms of quality and appearance, and it is no wonder that Fu Yuanzhuo was fascinated by it, and he did not dare to resist when he was repeatedly threatened by Yan Yitong.

The atmosphere in the private room was quite harmonious, the three girls were chatting quietly, occasionally whispering a few words mysteriously, and then glancing at Cheng Mo's body twice.

This is also normal, after all, other people have known each other for a long time, and Cheng Mo is a newcomer in this circle, so it is not surprising that it attracts scrutiny.

The three girls were full of laughter, but the chat between the three boys was slightly boring, Fu Yuanzhuo scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and tried his best to lure Cheng Mo and Yan Funing to talk again, but Cheng Mo and Yan Funing seemed to have lost interest in chatting, and just dealt with two sentences casually, and did not talk as unscrupulously as at the beginning.

A waitress wearing a blue batik cheongsam was serving food endlessly, and a beautiful girl wearing a light green Hanfu with her hair in a bun also followed, sat in front of the guzheng on the side of the box, and began to play the guzheng without saying a word, and the track was "Qingping Le" in the national treasure.

The wind chimes blown by the warm river breeze outside the window swayed, and the melodious and graceful tune swirled in the wooden attic burning incense, especially the girls who played the guzheng every time they bowed their heads and flicked their fingers in line with the rhyme, which was not only an auditory enjoyment, but also a visual enjoyment.

So they all stopped talking and listened attentively.

The poetic tune circulated in the box, perhaps this ancient scenery and some faint sad melody evoked the hidden love thread, Cheng Mo saw Feng Zhenzhen's gaze fall on Yan Funing unbridledly, expressing his liking without concealment.

There is nothing strange about this, it is normal for girls to like boys like Yan Funing. With such an elder brother, it is very difficult for Yan Yitong not to become a brother control.

But Cheng Mo, who was amazingly observant, found some other subtle details, that is, Feng Qianqian involuntarily looked at Yan Funing several times, and subconsciously turned her head to avoid it in the casual contact between the two eyes.

Although the expressions of the two are not abnormal, such ordinary movements are not enough to explain anything, but Cheng Mo can be keenly aware of some unspeakable differences, such as Feng Qianqian's blinking frequency has become faster, and she will suddenly pull Yan Yitong to speak to divert the attention of herself and others, but she has never had the intention of pulling her boyfriend Fu Yuanzhuo to speak.

Cheng Mo didn't really care about these details, and he didn't want to pay attention to them, but the habit he had developed for a long time made these subtle fragments naturally enter his mind, and then his brain instantly analyzed and came to a conclusion.

After the song, everyone applauded hard, especially Yan Yitong, she is not only a COS lover, but also a Hanfu lover, she has produced a lot of high-quality Hanfu photos and Chinese-style dances, Yan Yitong has been trying to learn guzheng and pipa for a long time, but she has too many hobbies, and it is really difficult to find time to learn musical instruments.

Therefore, for this kind of young lady who can play musical instruments, especially the young lady Yan Yitong of national musical instruments, she has always admired her, and she ran over with her mobile phone and took a photo with the young lady who played the guzheng.

As for the Feng family sisters, they sat on the carved chairs and did not move, they all looked at Yan Yitong with doting eyes, Cheng Mo instantly understood that Yan Yitong was actually everyone's sister, probably anyone would like a simple and unpretentious sunny girl like Yan Yitong.

When the meal began, everyone chatted casually, the windows were sparkling, and several girls in the room were even more lively.

"It's still our Shonan food that is the best, and in the UK, I can only look at pictures every day to satisfy my hunger, which is too painful. The wild and charming Feng Zhenzhen sandwiched a piece of shiny Mao's braised pork and said excitedly.

"Sister, you're okay, you can often go out to eat in Chinese restaurants, I'm miserable in school, I can only look at the picture and use Lao Gan Ma to go down to Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles..... You don't know how popular my old godmother is, a bottle will be eaten in about three days, and the four girls in our dormitory are now in love with my old godmother..... All became loyal fans of Lao Gan Ma, and also invented a variety of new ways to eat Lao Gan Ma, steak with Lao Gan Ma, bread with Lao Gan Ma, mashed potatoes with Lao Gan Ma..... Originally, it was enough for me to buy two bottles a month, but now I have to carry one box back a month....." Feng Qianqian complained.

"I see you complaining every day that you don't adapt to life in the UK, if you don't come back to high school, why bother to suffer in the UK..... There are only two days a month when I can go out of school, and the rules are many and strict, and we Asians are not friendly enough....." Fu Yuanzhuo raised his chopsticks and turned his head to look at Feng Qianqian and said.

Feng Qianqian lowered her head slightly, looked at the crystal shrimp in the bowl and said softly: "It's not that bad, I really wanted to come back at first, but after surviving this year, I feel that I have gained a lot..... I think you should also step out of your comfort zone and go live abroad and exercise yourself..... You can't think about games every day like you used to! comics! figurines! It's too plaything!"

Fu Yuanzhuo sighed and said: "You don't know that I also wanted to go to high school in the UK with you, but my father didn't know what evil he had fallen into, so he had to ask me to study Changya, I fought, it was useless!" After a pause, Fu Yuanzhuo said proudly: "But I don't just know how to play now, I haven't played much games this summer, Cheng Mo introduced me to a lot of books, I have read them, what "Sophie's World", "Introduction to Moral and Legislative Principles", "New York Times v. Sullivan"...... What else is "Piracy Innocence in the Digital Age"..... And also made reading notes....."

There is nothing to say about the popular reading of "Sophie's World", but the latter few are all very unpopular books, in addition to Yan Funing who has read them all, Feng Zhenzhen has read a book "Piracy in the Digital Age" under the recommendation of the teacher, when the teacher recommended her to read this book, it was because the piracy phenomenon in Huaxia is particularly serious, and it is a problem that will be touched on by any class, which also makes Feng Zhenzhen a little red-faced.

Feng Qianqian hadn't read any of them, so everyone couldn't help but set their eyes on Cheng Mo.

Feng Zhenzhen actually doesn't believe Yan Yitong's description of Cheng Mo's "genius", in her opinion, only Yan Funing, who entered the Imperial College at the age of seventeen, got a double master's degree at the age of twenty-one, and has been in the newspaper several times can be called a genius, like Cheng Mo, a seventeen-year-old student who is still studying in Changya's first year of high school, is at most a scholar, and there is absolutely a difference of 108,000 miles from the title of "genius".

So he smiled and asked tentatively, "Cheng Mo, what do you think of this book?"

Cheng Mo, who was dealing with the vegetables in the bowl, raised his head and glanced at Feng Zhenzhen, who had a charming face, and whispered: "It's not bad, it's a book that can cause thought." ”

Such an answer naturally could not satisfy Feng Zhenzhen, and said with some regret: "This book is actually generally translated, and the original English version should be read, although the author John has been emphasizing in the book that piracy is wrong, and it is not as innocent as some people promote, but in fact, those large companies and various anti-piracy associations are not as righteous as they claim....." Feng Zhenzhen turned her head to look at Yan Funing and blinked her eyes and asked, "I don't know what Brother Ning thinks?"

Yan Funing said lightly: "The main reason is that the current Copyright Law has not kept up with the development of the computer age, piracy is of course wrong, but the overly strict copyright law will also curb creativity and economic vitality." If Bell Labs had patented its transistor technology, would there have been the greatest wave of technological innovation in our history that continues to this day? If Palo Alto had not opened up the graphics interface, the idea of the mouse, and the Ethernet technology, would there have been Macintosh, and then indos, and even today's Internet age? Today's Copyright Law only protects the interests of copyright holders, not creators and ordinary people.... There is no doubt that we must take advantage of one of the unique human abilities while holding on to two conflicting points of view.... However, what makes me a little disgusted by this book is that in order to be published in our country, I have avoided talking about piracy in my country....."

Yan Funing sneered and said: "Indeed, piracy has created many favorable conditions for the rise of the Internet in China, so that the Internet can be quickly popularized, so that knowledge can be cheap, but people who are used to it are free have destroyed a large number of industries that need intellectual property protection, such as music, publishing, movies and TV dramas...... These are still on the surface, and they have deeply destroyed one of the core industries of the digital age: the software industry, and some people say that we can't make chips..... But they don't know that even if we build a chip, it won't be useful, the chip needs software support, and we don't have an operating system..... All the operating systems are American, and not only is it monopolized by the United States, but there is no way to change the situation, and this is the most terrible thing..... This is the conniving connivance of piracy...."

Yan Funing's words made the atmosphere suddenly serious, the Sino-US trade war exposed the pain point of "chips" in front of the Chinese people, and the basis of chips is mathematics, Yan Funing has a very say in this.

Everyone did not doubt Yan Funing's authority at all, and the girls all looked at Yan Funing with a look of adoration, and it was not his appearance that shone brightly, but his wisdom. Feng Zhenzhen had to sigh that the difference between her knowledge and Yan Funing's knowledge was too far, and she frowned and asked thoughtfully: "Is there no way to be controlled by others like this?"

Yan Funing shook his head, "Chips and software are both inverted pyramid industries, not industries that can be overthrown by virtue of cost advantages, and if they occupy a high point, it is unlikely to come down......" Then he turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and smiled: "But it's not that there is no chance at all, Cheng Mo, what do you say?"

Seeing Yan Funing asking Cheng Mo, everyone once again focused their eyes on Cheng Mo, but this question seems to be a little too deep, and professionals may not be able to see the cause and effect behind it, let alone a high school student?

The Feng sisters didn't believe that Cheng Mo could answer, and felt that Yan Funing was probably making things difficult for the boy her sister liked, Yan Funing had always been not very polite to the boys who pursued Yan Yitong, Yan Yitong liked to go to school in disguise, and was definitely influenced by Yan Funing, there is no doubt about this, and those who know the Yan family brothers and sisters know it.

At least Fu Yuanzhuo knows very well that there was once a boy in junior high school who liked Yan Yitong and in order to get her attention, he especially liked to tease her, such as whistling at her, pulling her hair, stealing her eraser or something.....

Adolescent boys are so active, and they also mistakenly express their liking for another girl.

However, his fate was miserable, he was disguised as a traffic accident by Yan Funing, broke his leg while riding an electric car, lay in the hospital for several months, and had to repeat the grade. Yan Yitong didn't know about this, but Fu Yuanzhuo knew that he and Yan Funing went to the hospital to see the boy.

Yan Funing bought flowers and fruits to see the boy, the boy's parents liked Yan Funing who was polite and worked hard to take responsibility, even the boy couldn't hate Yan Funing.

But before leaving, Yan Funing lowered his head and said something to the boy, which made the boy look frightened as if he had seen a ghost.

Fu Yuanzhuo couldn't hear what Yan Funing said, but he knew that since then, the boy had been hiding when he saw Yan Yitong, and Fu Yuanzhuo was not surprised that Yan Funing deliberately broke one of the other party's legs.

Fu Yuanzhuo also asked Yan Funing with some fear why he was not afraid of beating people to death, he remembered that Yan Funing replied with a chuckle: "I am only fourteen years old, and I am a good student with excellent character and learning, even if I kill someone, as long as I have a good attitude, there is a high probability that I will be given a suspended sentence, what are you afraid of?"

Fu Yuanzhuo always wanted to know what Yan Funing said to the boy, but he didn't have the opportunity and didn't dare to ask Yan Funing.

In his heart, Yan Funing has two sides, he shows his docile and kind side most of the time, but when others touch the bottom line that Yan Funing can't touch, they will show their hideous side.

I don't know why, Fu Yuanzhuo was actually a little worried about Cheng Mo, and looked at Cheng Mo with a tangled expression.

Yan Yitong looked at Cheng Mo expectantly, hoping that he could answer his brother's question.

Cheng Mo glanced at Yan Funing, he guessed that Yan Funing was about an anarchist, hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Oh.....! If China can catch up with this time node in the era of artificial intelligence, there is still a glimmer of opportunity....."
