Chapter 153 Call Me Mast
"This is... Chu Tianjiao's student file at Kassel College?"
Su Enxi raised her voice at the end as if in surprise: "You really managed to make this thing?"
"Actually, I bought it from Kassel College..." Jiude Mai rubbed her forehead and explained the whole story.
"Although I've heard that their executive department is indeed becoming more and more stingy, but has the financial situation of Kassel College become so tight?"
Su Enxi muttered to herself, flipping through the two documents in her hands, her beautiful eyebrows slightly entangled.
"This man's life is really simple. He is an 'S' rank after all. It can be summarized in two pages."
"Are there not enough people like this in history books?" Jiude Mai spread out her hands. "If we die one day, the space left behind might be even less than his. Maybe only the inscription on the tombstone can prove that we existed."
"When I die, I want to engrave the codes of all the stocks I've ever bought on my tombstone, so that archaeologists a thousand years from now can decipher them."
Su Enxi rubbed her hands together and flipped through the information in her hand twice more:
"I don't see anything special in it. It's just two simple files, one is the student file of Kassel College, and the other is the personnel file of the Executive Department. What secrets are really hidden in it?"
"I don't know either." Jiude Mai said, "I just think that if it was just an ordinary piece of information, Odin wouldn't have to go all the way to open the Nibelung for me."
Su Enxi suddenly had an idea: "Perhaps... what's special is not the content of these two documents? But the two documents themselves?"
Jiude Mai was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"Almost! I was almost there and I figured it out!"
Su Enxi sat cross-legged on the bed like a clever Ikkiu, shaking her fingers in circles on both sides of her head, looking like she was trying hard to think. But the next moment, the doorbell rang abruptly.
"Ahhh, who interrupted my spell?"
Su Enxi got off the bed barefoot and opened the door with a grim look on her face.
Lily, who was outside the door, was stunned when she saw Su Enxi's angry expression, wondering if she had done something to make her leader angry again.
"What's the matter?" Su Enxi asked unhappily.
"The dinner will start in two hours." Lily lowered her head and said softly, "I came to ask if you would like to dress up?"
Oh yes, there is this matter.
Su Enxi sighed. If she had known in advance that Mai would be back today, she would not have done such a thing on a whim.
Although it didn't matter whether she went to the dinner or not, and she didn't need to curry favor with any local dignitaries at the banquet, after all, international superstars would also appear. If no one from her side attended, it might affect the reputation of the group, and then affect the group's projects in the film and television industry.
"Call all the makeup artists into the room."
Su Enxi gave the order while turning back to ask, "How about Mai, you wait for a while? I still have some things to take care of, so I should be back tonight."
"You've integrated into the local community pretty quickly?" Jiude Mai raised an eyebrow. "You've even arranged a social dinner. Are you eyeing some rich kid again? Tell the truth!"
"Your Excellency doesn't have one, but your uncle does have one."
Su Enxi rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Mai, do you want to go to Chenglong's movie celebration party? I remember that you Japanese people seem to like Jackie Chan very much. Even in Dragon Ball, there is a Roshi Master."
"I'm fine. I watch his movies mainly for reference of his fighting moves. Some of his action designs can really come in handy in some entangled battles."
Jude Mai shrugged, "But my sister really likes her."
"So, Mai, are you going or not? If you are going, we have to hurry because you haven't prepared your dress yet." Su Enxi asked.
"If you don't mind the crowds, then go ahead." Jude Mai said, "It's pretty boring for me to be alone in the room anyway."
……
Six o'clock, downstairs of the Prens InterContinental Hotel.
Although the dinner officially started at seven o'clock, many people had already arrived at six o'clock.
The reason why Lu Mingfei recognized that those were the people attending the dinner, rather than the hotel guests, was because each of them was dressed up like himself, with a greasy face.
Luxury cars drove past the hotel one after another, from Lincoln to BBA to Porsche, Maserati and Maybach. The Audi A8 of the little angel was only considered upper-middle class among these luxury cars. The dazzling sight made Lu Mingfei feel like he was not here to attend a dinner party, but had accidentally entered a luxury car exhibition.
They are still sitting in the car waiting, because the little goddess said that one should have a sense of status when attending a dinner. People with lower status should go earlier, and those with higher status should arrive later. However, they cannot arrive too late, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the host. They can just enter at a similar time.
Lu Mingfei curled his lips, expressing his disdain for such broken capitalist rules. He thought that rich people were always cunning and such rules were purely for those who had nothing to do and had too much time to rest. He thought that if they were asked to tighten screws on the assembly line for two days, they would behave themselves.
"Uncle Li, it's almost time."
The driver, Uncle Li, nodded, and the Audi A8 restarted, sliding in among the luxury cars like a black fish, and parked steadily at the entrance of the hotel. The receptionist was very considerate and ran down to open the door for them.
The little angel's body suddenly stiffened, and she gently pushed Lu Mingfei with her little hand.
"Do you still remember what to do after getting off the bus?" Su Xiaoqiang pursed his lips.
Of course Lu Mingfei only knew this basic etiquette.
After stepping out of the car with steady steps, Lu Mingfei leaned against the door and calmly extended his right hand to Su Xiaoqiang. Su Xiaoqiang's fingers gently rested on Lu Mingfei's palm.
The moment their fingers touched, Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously retreated a little, but immediately relaxed, allowing Lu Mingfei to hold his fingertips, and followed Lu Mingfei's hand to get out of the car.
Su Xiaoqiang felt as if his ears were a little hot. Just as he was about to take a few deep breaths to adjust his mentality, Lu Mingfei naturally took his arm.
"Gu..."
Didn't this guy say anything before linking arms?
Su Xiaoqiang was annoyed and nervous. Although she had attended similar social occasions countless times, this was her first time attending with a male companion. Especially since Lu Mingfei was still her boyfriend to the outside world.
Although Lu Mingfei usually looks thin and frail, when Su Xiaoqiang actually held Lu Mingfei's arm, he felt how strong his muscles were, which were not visible at all normally.
Besides, isn't it a bit too appropriate to spray "Slaying Girl Fragrance" on this guy? It's obviously just a popular fragrance! ... "Let's go?" Lu Mingfei asked, looking at Su Xiaoqiang's pretty face that was blushing with nervousness.
"Yeah." Su Xiaoqiang's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Mingfei's face.
Unlike the little angel, Lu Mingfei did have some experience attending banquets with female companions... Of course, when I say female companions, it was mainly Zero.
During his college years, Lu Mingfei's main female social contacts, excluding Xiao Long Nu, were Nuonuo and Ling. Nuonuo was the eldest sister-in-law and the boss' girlfriend, so of course she would not be his female companion, so the only one who accompanied him was Ling.
The styles of Zero and Little Angel are completely different, or it is more appropriate to say that they are two extremes.
Zero's figure is between that of a child and a girl, but he gives people a very mature feeling. He is indifferent to everything and is only focused on the party itself.
The little angel has the figure of a typical young girl or even a mature woman. After putting on 5cm high heels, her height exceeds 170cm. Just looking at her height, she is definitely the most stunning one in the whole place. But in her heart, she is actually a % girl. One can feel her stiffness and nervousness when she holds hands with Lu Mingfei.
The indescribable fragrance and the soft touch of the girl's body frequently came from Lu Mingfei's body, coupled with that blushing face. If her male companion was not Lu Mingfei, but another boy, she would have been confused long ago.
However, Su Xiaoqiang was worthy of being a socialite who often attended such occasions. While the elevator was in the air, she briefly adjusted her breathing, and the tension and shyness on her face immediately disappeared. Only her slightly red ears could prove the girl's inner uneasiness.
The elevator stopped at the designated floor. Lu Mingfei walked to the entrance of the venue with Su Xiaoqiang. The beautiful receptionist smiled and walked up to them. After a slight salute, she spoke:
"Can you please show me your invitation letters?"
Su Xiaoqiang's dress had no pockets, so she gave the invitation to Lu Mingfei in advance for safekeeping. Lu Mingfei took out the invitation from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it to the receptionist. After confirming that it was correct, the other party returned it with both hands, then smiled and guided:
"You two, please come in."
……
Just when Lu Mingfei entered the venue, Liu Miaomiao got out of the car with her mother.
"It seems like there are other banquets here tonight?"
Liu Miaomiao also often attends various dinner parties. Looking at the formal dresses worn by people getting out of various luxury cars, she can immediately tell that these are formal dresses for attending formal dinner parties.
"It seems that the Black Prince Group and Su Energy are holding a dinner party here tonight." Ji Ruyan said, "Don't worry about them, let's go up first, the salon is about to start."
"Ah."
Liu Miaomiao nodded, lifted her skirt, and followed her mother's footsteps.
……
In fact, the main purpose of such dinner parties is to socialize. After all, the people present are mostly powerful people, and knowing one more person means one more network. A person you meet today may help you solve a big problem in the business tomorrow.
However, the old guys were relatively calm and composed. Everyone was chatting and laughing. Those with bigger businesses talked about boring and pretentious topics, while those with smaller businesses raised their wine glasses and smiled apologetically. All of them had acting skills that could be included in Beijing Film Academy's textbooks.
The young people were not as calm as the old people. The men would gather around girls with good family backgrounds or good looks, while the women would gather around men with good family backgrounds. The few who didn't have anyone to gather around would brag together, and from time to time they would show off the books they borrowed from their parents' closets to compete with each other.
As soon as Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang entered the venue, they immediately became the focus of the whole audience.
After all, Su Xiaoqiang's family is one of the most famous entrepreneurs in the province, and Old Su has only one daughter. There are many people in the circle of children of businessmen who want to make Su Xiaoqiang's family extinct.
Not to mention that Su Xiaoqiang himself is quite good-looking, and he is not inferior to those popular young actresses even when standing next to them.
Finally, when Su Xiaoqiang entered the scene, the young men with ulterior motives began to get restless.
However, when they saw that Su Xiaoqiang was holding the arm of a boy, they were all stunned.
Especially Liu Wei, who was originally excited to go up and say hello to Su Xiaoqiang, when he saw Lu Mingfei, the expression on his face was as if he was thrown into an ice cellar and he was instantly frozen solid.
"What is the origin of this man?" A small group of people began to discuss in low voices.
"I don't know." Another person shook his head.
His tall stature, handsome face, slightly melancholy eyes, and the calm nobility that emanates from his every move - just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that this guy is definitely no ordinary person.
But after a round of whispered discussions, no one could recognize which business giant Lu Mingfei belonged to.
Someone silently speculated: "Could it be that he came back from abroad?"
Everyone was stunned, and in an instant, an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on their faces.
Yes, if he came back from abroad, it does make sense, because he studied abroad for many years, so there are so few people who know him. And Su Xiaoqiang himself did have the experience of studying abroad.
Combined with the fact that his every move and gesture reflects British customs, this guy must be a young man who returned from studying in the UK.
Lu Mingfei didn't know that he had been assigned a new persona in the past few minutes. However, just by standing next to Su Xiaoqiang, he felt the wolf-like eyes around him, and couldn't help but sigh.
Just standing next to the little goddess, I could feel the anxious gaze, so I could imagine how much pressure she was under. No wonder the little goddess said she hated this kind of social occasion.
However, these young masters from wealthy families still retained some manners. After seeing that Su Xiaoqiang was accompanied by a male companion, most of them temporarily gave up the idea and stopped coming forward.
Of course, it is also possible that he simply was not sure about Lu Mingfei's background and did not want to be the first to step forward and become cannon fodder.
Lu Mingfei didn't care about these eager eyes. These little boys were just minions in the level, and the boss tonight was the father of the little goddess.
"Little angel, is your father here?" Lu Mingfei whispered to Su Xiaoqiang.
"Here he is. I saw him. He seemed to be discussing business with someone over there." Su Xiaoqiang lowered his voice and said, "Also, didn't I tell you that you have to call me Qiang here..."
Su Xiaoqiang couldn't continue talking any more. Just thinking about Lu Mingfei calling him by his nickname made Su Xiaoqiang feel extremely ashamed and wanted to cover his face and run away at the speed of light.
And Lu Mingfei actually called out his own name without considering the timing:
"Oh, I see, Mast."
……
I'm sick, so I'm a little late in posting, sorry everyone. There will be another one in the evening.
