Chapter 22 Too Full
Dengkelou is located on the bank of Dongshui River in the city, with an ancient tribute courtyard nearby.
Gongyuan is the place where rural examinations are held, usually in provincial capitals. Success in the examination means a person is promoted. In ancient times, it was an important symbol for civilians to cross social classes. In the folk song, "a poor scholar will be promoted with gold, and a scholar will be promoted with silver". It's the best portrayal.
In Wen Rensheng's previous life, these ancient buildings were rarely seen, and only a few places were still preserved. However, in this world, there were no great ups and downs, and many ancient monuments were completely preserved.
The vicinity of this Gongyuan is the fixed test site for previous alien qualification assessments, which has profound meaning.
The three got off the car nearby and came to the front of the building.
This is an antique six-story wooden building with an antique feel. It is under the jurisdiction of a large catering group in this city and is not open to the public. If you want to hold a party here, you must have membership.
So even though it is a Saturday and there are a lot of people here, there is still a sense of purity here.
There were already several people greeting him in front of the building. As soon as Wen Rensheng approached, those people came to greet him.
As soon as the leading man spoke, Wen Rensheng knew that this was Feng Youlin who called last night.
"This is Mr. Wenren, I'm glad to meet you."
The speaker is a man in his forties, with a voice as deep as on the phone, with regular facial features and a face with Chinese characters. Judging from his appearance, , there is indeed some similarity between her eyebrows and Feng Jingjing's.
Wen Rensheng immediately knew what was going on, and stepped forward and said, "You must be Mr. Feng, we are each other."
"Haha, sir, you are so polite, please come with me." He With that said, he led the three people into the wooden building.
However, Wen Rensheng noticed that the others behind Feng Youlin did not follow.
"Is there anyone else attending the meeting?" Wen Rensheng said casually as he walked.
"Well, there are a few seniors who are experts on alien species." Feng Youlin said with a hint of showoff in his tone.
"It seems that Mr. Feng's energy is really quite big." Wen Rensheng said meaningfully.
"Sir, you are so complimentary. It's all for Mr. Xu's sake." Feng Youlin cupped his hands and led the three of them into the building.
Facing the room is a small, clean hall with screens separating small rooms. Some people are already sitting inside, talking in low voices.
There is a wooden staircase at the far end that leads to the top.
Feng Youlin stood in the small hall and said to Wu Shanshan and Wu Shanshan, "I wonder what we should call these two?"
"This is my driver, Brother Li." Wen Rensheng introduced naturally, "This is my girlfriend, Wu Shanshan."
Li Shuangyue just nodded slightly without expression, while Wu Shanshan seemed a little surprised and a little excited. , hurriedly said: "Hello, Mr. Feng."
"Well, you two are really a couple of gods, a pair of beautiful people, which is enviable." Feng Youlin praised sincerely.
"Where is it?" Wu Shanshan replied obediently, without any ostentation as before.
After the introduction, Feng Youlin said again: "Mr. Wenren, the few seniors here today are a bit old-fashioned. We will entertain your two companions in the small hall. Please come with me yourself." "How about the second floor?"
Wen Rensheng frowned.
Wu Shanshan was the first to say: "Wen Ren, you and Mr. Feng go upstairs, Brother Li and I can just sit down below."
Wen Rensheng said this Only then did he come back to his senses.
It turns out that in previous lives, it was normal for a man to bring a female companion to a banquet. For example, it was part of the etiquette to bring his family to a senior company banquet.
But this world is different, precisely because it has not experienced ups and downs, and when avoiding many tragedies, there are advantages and disadvantages, and many dross has not been washed away.
Many old people still have old ideas deep in their bones, and the concept of hierarchy has never disappeared. It has even become more rigid due to the mixing of alien species.
He looked at Feng Youlin seriously and suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"Mr. Wenren, what does this mean?" Feng Youlin was a little surprised.
"I mean, the latest syllabus for the judges' exam. We have finished the meeting now. Give me the syllabus. I will go back to prepare for the exam now. After all, time is precious," Wen Rensheng said seriously, "The sages said that an inch of time An inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time.”
Li Shuangyue was not surprised and remained indifferent, but Wu Shanshan’s face changed and her eyes were complicated.
"Haha, You Lin, please let the three of you go upstairs together. I have said before that Mr. Wenren is a young man. Most young people like the relaxed and comfortable Western fashion rather than the old-fashioned Eastern rules. "A very loud laughter came from the second floor. "Okay, Mr. Xu," Feng Youlin smiled coquettishly, stretched out his hand and asked, "You three, follow me."
Wen Rensheng nodded and then followed.
It’s not that he can’t do as the Romans do, nor does he have any so-called ambition to change the customs of the world and promote equality.
Just because he could see just now that Feng Youlin was respectful and polite on the surface, but in essence he still wanted to arrange for him so that he could follow the other person's wishes unknowingly. This was a kind of influence on people's hearts. way.
We are all experts in the mysterious field. They can take care of the old guys' thoughts, why not take care of their own thoughts?
Before coming, he made it clear that he wanted to bring someone with him, but the other party didn't tell him sooner or later, but he did it at the door. This was a test to see if he was a person who was easily manipulated by the environment and others.
Of course he can't follow the crowd, he is a man who wants to maintain a sense of mystery... If he is so easily influenced by others, wouldn't it be obvious to others?
After a few people arrived on the second floor, there were several round tables, and several people were already sitting on one round table.
A man over fifty came to greet him personally, and those people also stood up.
This man, with some loose flesh on his face, fairly sharp eyes, and neatly styled hair, seems to be the so-called Mr. Xu.
"Mr. Wenren, I am Xu Qingshu, the president of Wuse Group. I have admired your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you are indeed a young and talented person who is intimidating." Xu Qingshu extended his hand with a friendly look on his face.
Wen Rensheng shook hands with the other party and said calmly: "A little fame is nothing, it is just a foil to my peers."
Xu Qingshu was stunned. This seemed to make sense... and it was also consistent with some of the rumors he had heard. But is it really okay to say this?
He had no choice but to forcefully answer: "Sir, please sit here with me. Can your two companions be placed at the table over there?"
"Okay, you are welcome. It's up to you." Wen Rensheng said without comment.
Feng Youlin felt resentful in his heart. If this was true, why didn't you listen to him just now?
But he didn't say anything, he just apologized, arranged for Li Shuangyue and the others, and then went down to greet the guests.
Wen Rensheng followed Xu Qingshu through several tables and came to a round table by the window. It was empty and had a good view, making it the best seat.
Xu Qingshu then accompanied Wen Rensheng and talked casually.
Wen Rensheng responded casually, occasionally looking around, and noticed the table where several people were already sitting.
The few people sitting there, aged between thirty and forty, seemed to be some of the shopping mall elites. They had some displeasure on their faces, but they didn't say anything, they just looked down at their phones occasionally.
Wen Rensheng's eyesight is now very strong. We are less than ten meters apart, and he can clearly see every texture on the wooden table opposite.
Those people seemed to be talking on their mobile phones, and the content was naturally noticed by him.
"That man is really crazy. Mr. Xu is so polite, but he is so busy."
"There is no way, he is a xenogeneic expert, young and promising, more than an academician of the Academy of Sciences. It’s even more valuable. Academicians only have a lot of knowledge, but they have all kinds of mysterious powers. You said Mr. Xu can’t provide it?” Funds, what value can they create by supporting those old experts who are still living? I think they are just for free, not as good as the most useless employees under me.” I say it shouldn’t happen, it makes people too unequal.”
"Yeah, we people are rich and powerful, but we don't have the talent, so we can only bow down in front of these people."
"Yes, some people are born with this thing, and some are born with it. No matter what you do, you can earn it. Unlike money, everyone can earn it as long as they work hard and save money. Money is the most equal. "
"Stop it, you can't play with your mobile phone in front of Mr. Xu. Polite."
Wen Rensheng remained calm after seeing these contents.
The dialogue between these people seems reasonable. If he had not experienced a previous life, he would really believe it.
These people only start from their own standpoint and feel that since they don’t have alien species, it’s best that everyone doesn’t have them.
However, the history of his previous life told him that these people were just too full.
