Chapter 741 Chen’s dinner party, the old friend under the mask!
"Brother Su, we have completed the last procedure, but it will probably take some time to get an interview with Mayor Chen. This will be difficult!"
Standing In front of Su Mo, Sun Quan put down his hand which was covered with seals except for the last blank license.
In the afternoon, the entire trading license procedure went smoothly to the last item thanks to the help of the trading point and favor.
But at this point, no one could help but continue.
According to the current management methods of Tianyuan Territory, the processing of each document and the handling of affairs will be divided into five levels from one to five.
Levels four to five can be processed urgently, and you can get an interview with the mayor in two days at the latest.
But once you reach level three, you no longer have this treatment. You have to wait until the mayor has time before issuing an interview notice.
Unfortunately, the importance level of the trading license happened to be level three, and it did not rise to the category of emergency matters.
“What, have you submitted your application?”
"Submitted, but Mayor Chen didn't have it at all." Sun Quan shook his head and was about to continue.
Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the laboratory.
After getting the answer, Zhang Da walked in from the outside with an excited look on his face, with sweat all over his forehead.
"There is news. Tonight is the Chen family's dinner, and we have also received invitations from Zizailiangfang."
"Yes. It is said to commend the companies that performed well during the summer harvest. , a total of twelve companies were invited, and we were among them Ziliangfang”
"Just in time, bring this trading license with you and let Mayor Chen handle it on the spot, so you don't have to worry about it later!"
Taking out a well-preserved gift certificate from his pocket, Zhang Da spit. While flying, he carefully placed it in front of the table.
At this time, the way he looked at Somo had completely changed, and he no longer had the unruly look he had before.
Some are just extremely well-behaved.
After all, not everyone can be interviewed by Mayor Chen. The day that Zizailiangfang is here is entirely due to the young man in front of him.
"Dinner?"
Hearing these two words, Sumo finally put down the tools in his hands, took off his dust-proof gloves, and picked up the gift certificate.
The gift certificate is not made of paper, but a wooden product with a strong sense of touch.
The whole is bright red, with four huge characters on the front, corresponding to Chen's dinner party, and some unknown flowers are carved with flying dragons and phoenixes.
Turn to the back and you will find some specific details of the invitation and the recipients.
"Zizai Liangfang, Su Youzong?"
"Is this given to me?"
Seeing the bright characters in the lower right corner, Su Mo smiled and handed the gift certificate to him. Put it down again.
"How are the preparations for the Heroes Meeting?"
Sun Quan: "It is proceeding in an orderly manner. We have selected more than 20 workers with proficient professional skills, and have also passed Some small means temporarily gave them a taste of the sweetness. The information is still being verified twice. Once verified, it will be sent over immediately."
"Very good!" Su Mo nodded with satisfaction: "I'll leave this to you. As for the trading license, don't worry. I will go to the meeting alone tonight!"
"Go to the meeting alone?" Look When Somo stood up, Zhang Da's head immediately shook like a rattle: "Boss, it is written in the dinner that each invitee must be accompanied by at least two people!"
"And this Rules?" Sumo frowned, picked up the gift certificate again, and read the invitation details at the back carefully.
Sure enough, the third to last article came up with an idea that I don’t know who came up with, and it really stipulates this.
Male participants must bring one or more female dance partners, with the maximum number of people not exceeding ten.
Female participants can choose to bring women or men of the same age, with the number also not exceeding ten.
Perhaps for the sake of the atmosphere of the dinner, going to the meeting alone was rejected from the beginning.
"Okay, then let Zhang Min follow me. She happens to be the manager of our Liangfang too"
"Okay, I will make arrangements right away!" I was extremely satisfied. Zhang Da nodded quickly and strode out of the laboratory, fearing that Su Mo would regret appointing other candidates.
Seeing his appearance, Sun Quan could not help but spit lightly after the door was closed again.
"Brother Su, this old man is really eager to send his daughter here."
"He must have made up his mind to want Zhang Min to get close to us, and also to get us to use this as a threat"< br>
"It's okay, I know it well!"
Patting Sun Quan on the shoulder, looking at the latter's hesitant look, Su Mo laughed loudly and interrupted the topic directly.
Compared with Chen Shen who has been in the wasteland for half a year and supported the government management of Tianyuan Territory.
Zhang Min's level of scheming is like a novice who has just entered the game, and it is not worth his effort.
"It's going to be a tough battle tonight."
I knew that when dealing with the current Chen Shen, I couldn't just deal with those two fools Feng Long by vaguely passing him by.
Sumo had already prepared several sets of rhetoric in his mind, and also thought of several emergency plans for different situations.
At the same time, for this talent that he has conquered and cultivated.
Sumo was also a little excited in this communication that spanned eight years of time and space.
“The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago or now”
“Tonight, let me see for myself, the tree I planted myself. What kind of fruit can the tree bear in eight years?”
With one thought, Soma no longer thought about it.
After putting all the small parts on the desktop into the tool box, he also planned to "get ready".
Give yourself, the great mayor, an unexpected surprise!
It’s night.
The Eagle Hotel, the largest external hotel in the city, has become the only protagonist in the city tonight.
Outside this magnificent hotel, decorated with lights of various colors, the style is incompatible with the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Starting at seven o'clock, dozens or hundreds of escorts were fully armed and guarded the three surrounding streets.
In the past, it might have been a bit excessive for the Chen family to have such a grand gathering every year after the summer harvest.
But this year is different. As long as the permanent residents of Hope City can obviously find that there are indeed many new faces in the city recently.
There is a special mercenary with a sinister face who is not easy to mess with at a glance.
There is a tall foreigner with a cold face and a very exotic style.
There are also various short-statured wilderness hunters who wear exclusive adventure costumes and are born only for intelligence.
These people not only wandered around every corner of the city during the day, but also tried their best to find out what happened in the Tianyuan territory recently.
At night, you can occasionally see them running vigorously through the city to avoid being searched by the escorts even after the curfew.
In order to prevent these people from causing trouble.
Ordinary people can understand the Chen family's current actions.
It’s half past seven.
A steady stream of cars began to arrive in front of the hotel building, and people of different ages and looks came out of them.
At the beginning, there were mostly young people.
Most of the men who got off the bus were in suits and leather shoes, and the women were wearing extravagant evening dresses.
They met on the way, and they talked skillfully together, stepped onto the red carpet laid out in the hotel like a fashion show, and walked confidently into the hotel.
Going towards the back, the main force will be middle-aged people.
Compared with the former, these middle-aged people are much more low-key. The men basically wear uniforms with low-level hair, and the women wear low-key dresses.
These people are the result of the Chen family’s expansion in the territory over the years!
"Introduction, absorption, friendship, arrival"
"The Chen family had only a dozen people at the beginning, but over the years it has grown to more than 300 people, and the number is getting larger and larger"
“Because the center is clear and the main body has strong cohesion, their presence can basically be seen in the government affairs, economy, and management of the entire territory.”
"Including the managers of our Sangtian Town, they are also members of the Chen family."
Sitting in the passenger seat of the Nengche, Zhang Min pinched his collar uncomfortably while introducing.
Today, she is wearing a light blue evening dress with a beautiful face, looking charming and charming.
Together with Sumo, who was wearing a black suit next to him, he was completely worthy of being a talented man and a beautiful woman.
But for some reason, Zhang Min became more and more uneasy the closer he got to the Flying Eagle Hotel.
There is quite a sense of embarrassment about an "underground love affair" that is about to be forcibly exposed.
"Oh? The manager of our Sangtian Town is a member of the Chen family?"
"I never knew this"
Open the car window and hand over the invitation After going over for inspection, Sumo put his left hand on the car window and continued driving in.
This Flying Eagle Hotel, he has been in Tianyuan Territory for so long, but he has only heard its name but not seen its shape.
Now that I see it, it is really shocking.
The entire facade of the eight-story Flying Eagle Hotel is dotted with light yellow spotlights, no less than 300 of them densely packed.
The translucent upper dome emits a faint glow, directly reflecting the sky and causing diffusion. From left to right, the diameter of this hotel alone is more than 500 meters, and its overall area is hundreds of acres.
If you add a luxurious shelter made of exclusive materials below.
Normally, this place can be treated as a hotel.
In wartime, it can become a second command post and an unbreakable bunker.
"Hello distinguished guest, our party is held on the third floor. This is your ID card, please take it with you"
"We will help you park your car, it is at the hotel. You can take it out at any time with your ID card in the parking lot."
Unlike the "bumpkin" in Sangtian Town, the doorman in charge of the reception at the Flying Eagle Hotel recognized Somo's fifth-generation car at a glance .
In an instant, his attitude was even better than when he received the younger members of the Chen family.
“Trouble!”
Stepping out of the car, Su Mo straightened his tie confidently, and his face, which was not handsome at all, had an inexplicable temperament.
At this time, in Zhang Min’s eyes.
She even had the illusion that the Chen family was not the protagonist tonight, but the man in front of her was.
"Let's go"
Naturally patting the folds of his clothes, Somo stretched out his hand slightly, leaving a space to hold it.
The latter's face froze, but in the end he followed the example of other people who came over and put his arms up stiffly.
Following the red carpet, after a while, the two of them entered today's main venue.
The first floor of the Flying Eagle Hotel has temporarily turned into a security inspection floor tonight.
As there was storage space, Sumo thought that the security was just a formality and would not play a substantial role.
But the magic is that after walking through three consecutive detection gates.
There was a prompt from the game panel.
[Record]: It is detected that the player "Suma" has entered a special independent space, and your storage space function will be temporarily blocked
[Record]: This ban is not mandatory. When you are around When the risk detection is higher than "3", the ban will be automatically lifted
"Is there such a way?"
Stepping into the elevator to the third floor, Sumo looked as usual, but he was quite curious.
He didn't know what the danger level was.
This method, although it cannot be used as a weapon, can force the opponent's storage space to close.
But within the territory, it can play an excellent role in some situations.
For example, if a prisoner is held in a prison and has storage space, it will be difficult to manage it.
But if the storage space is closed, the difficulty will undoubtedly be much easier.
On important occasions like this, we can also ensure that no one with ulterior motives will lurk in and protect the safety of everyone present.
Enter the main banquet hall on the third floor from the elevator.
The brightly lit interior was already filled with tables, and on the tables were placed all kinds of delicacies and fruits.
The waiter carrying the wine table walked inside, with one or two rows of half-cups of red wine placed on it, bringing out bursts of fragrant fruity flavor.
Sumo was a little surprised when he glanced at the people who had already arrived at the venue.
In this dense crowd of no less than a hundred people, there was no one he was familiar with. There were strange faces everywhere.
“Aren’t these people all from the Chen family?” Su Mo tilted his head and asked Zhang Min in a low voice.
"No, over there are the people from the Longhang Chamber of Commerce, and over there are the people from Daxing Agriculture." He pointed to three or four groups in a row. Zhang Min was no stranger to these businessmen at all.
"The people who are coming now are all branches of the Chen family in the villages and towns outside. The master's family will not come here until half past eight."
"Is that so?"
Knowing the situation, Su Mo He nodded and casually took Zhang Min to sit on a table outside.
Those people who came from the chamber of commerce all followed the limit of the invitation and brought ten people to form a big table. They were mingling with the people from the Chen family who were coming now. It was very lively.
There were only two of him and Zhang Min at the same table, which was a bit strange.
However, the host didn't care that Somo didn't come. He just ate the food in the fruit plate and passed the time. He didn't care at all about the looks from time to time from others.
It was not until half past eight, and as people began to walk in from the door of the hall, Sumo raised his head and looked over.
At this sight, his eyes suddenly focused.
The first person from the head of the Chen family who entered the scene was someone he was very familiar with.
Chen Kai, one of the managers of Hope Village before he left.
"He is the mayor of our Sangtian Town," Zhang Min introduced quietly from the side.
"Huh? Chen Kai is the mayor?" The first time he noticed that Chen Kai came in, he looked at him vaguely. Su Mo was slightly surprised and also looked at him up and down. .
Eight years later, Chen Kai is over 30 years old. The frequent disasters in the wasteland and the hard work have added a few obvious wrinkles to his face, making him look quite vicissitudes of life.
At the same time, Sumo saw a long scar on his neck that stretched to the back of his head.
It added a fierceness to his personal temperament.
After looking at each other for a while, Chen Kai looked away with a slightly unnatural expression and strode towards the hall.
Behind him, more and more people walked in, and Sumo also saw the "acquaintances" he had been waiting for one by one.
Chen Yi, Chen Yun, Chen Hui, Chen Chao.
Before he left, he asked Pei Shao to count the members of the Chen family. There were seventeen people in total.
At this time, when the last person approached, except for Chen Shen, he was not seen yet.
Su Mo was shocked to find that in the past eight years, except for the large and small scars on their bodies, all the Chen family members were still alive.
"This is a bit unexpected!"
Picking up the cup of Coke, Somo drank it down in one gulp, moistening his slightly burning throat.
Almost everyone of the seventeen people who came in would look at him with a casual look, obviously they had already received the news.
Not knowing what card the other party would play, Sumo could only continue to sit at the table and wait patiently for the banquet to be held.
It's just
"Mr. Su Youzong, right? I've admired you for a long time. I've been busy with official duties and haven't been able to meet you. This is the first time we've met, right?"
Turning around, Chen Kai didn't He knew when he came over with a goblet.
His eyes are deep and full of meaning.
"This is our first meeting." Su Mo nodded regretfully: "The mayor has many things to do. He is worried about the wealth and lives of tens of thousands of people in the town, and he is also responsible for economic management. I understand!"
"It's good to understand. There has been some instability in the territory recently, and there have been frequent disasters. Fortunately, Ziziliangfang has given us Sangtian Town face, and this has allowed me to hold my head high in the family." Chen Kai smiled and raised his hand. Cup: "I'd like to offer you a drink!"
"I'm flattered, I'm flattered" He picked up the Coke cup in a panic. After the two of them clinked the glasses, Somo drank it down again.
In the eyes of others, his cautious appearance completely matches his status as a native of Liangfang.
But when it fell into Chen Kai's eyes, it made him frown slightly.
Drinking the wine in the glass, he looked at Somo.
"Zizai Liangfang is developing well, and Mr. Su is also developing steadily and well. This is a talent coming to our territory."
"Come, let me toast you again, and I will celebrate in advance by crowning Mr. Su"
Bringing another glass from the waiter’s wine table, Chen Kai drank it down without even touching it this time.
Sumo couldn't help but narrowed his eyes at this performance.
He originally thought that the testing would not start until Chen Shen, but he did not expect that Chen Kai became the vanguard and came first.
Fortunately, before Su Mo could continue to speak, a commotion broke out at the front of the stage, temporarily interrupting the confrontation between the two.
“The mayor is here!”
The riot continued for a while, and I don’t know who shouted.
The whole place suddenly fell silent, and everyone who was sitting down also stood up.
Blocking the dazzling light with his hand, Sumo followed everyone and cast his gaze over.
On the stage, there was a large crowd at this time.
But the scholarly man wearing a light black robe who walked out from behind became the only focus of the crowd.
Looking up, Somo was slightly shocked.
It was completely different from the slightly thinner appearance of Chen Shen in his imagination!
This should be Chen Shen's man. His exposed limbs are not the flesh and blood body of a normal person, but have been replaced with prosthetic limbs made of light silver alloy, full of a sense of technology.
At the same time, his body was also extremely strong, and he was at least fifteen centimeters taller than before. He suddenly changed from a 175cm thin boy to a 190cm warrior with slightly bulging muscles all over his body, exuding strong hormones.
On his face, Sumo saw a slightly reflective light silver mask, covering all his expression and flesh.
Even the skin next to him was covered, making it impossible to see clearly what state he was in at this time.
"No way? Is Chen Shen going to do it?"
"Is he following Sun Bahu's path of personal armed force?"
