Chapter 7 7. The banquet is in progress
Author: Ice black tea extends life
"It's okay. Grandpa will take you out for more walks in the future. The more people you see and interact with, the more you can talk."
Wen Yan did not reply. He focused on the picture and his mind was racing.
Now, for her, illusion and science are too similar. Is there any chance to combine the two?
Wen Chenzhou walked through the red carpet and entered the hall. Since the banquet had not started yet, there were basically no guests in the hall, only busy waiters.
It stands to reason that robots should be used, but the wealthy people all believe that robots are not elegant and noble enough to match their status.
Therefore, high-end clubs generally recruit waiters who are professionally trained models or starlets, not even androids (robots that look exactly like humans).
Ordinary people will never have access to the upper class circles. Even the most famous A-list stars will be excluded if they don't have upper class backgrounds.
The only difference is that this is the most luxurious and top-notch club in the entire federation, Yuntai - it is the pagoda-like building that Wen Yan saw earlier, and it is also the place where this banquet was held.
Those who can work as waiters here are superstars or talented elites among civilians who have gone through rigorous screening.
Except for the rich, as long as you don't look that mean, even if you are an ordinary citizen and have enough ability, you can enter Yuntai, the top upper-class place.
But in the interstellar era, who is not handsome and beautiful?
You can imagine how fierce this competition is.
Yuntai does not just need waiters, it welcomes talented elites from all walks of life.
Wen Yan didn't know Yuntai's status in this country, but that didn't stop her from observing the entire hall.
Although the main color is bright yellow, it is also mixed with other colors to complement each other. The grand layout and almost natural and beautiful lines create a high and luxurious atmosphere.
There is a large open space in the middle, which is obviously used for dancing. Various exquisite foods are neatly placed around the open space, and sofa cushions are placed around the four corners.
There is a light scent of perfume in the air, which makes people feel mysterious and elegant.
The waiters maintained the most elegant etiquette, either busy or waiting quietly.
After Wen Yan glanced around, Wen Shenzhou had already walked into the private room where special guests were received. From the lobby, it was impossible to tell that there was such a private room, but from the private room, the entire hall could be easily seen.
Walls made of special materials separate it from the outside world, forming small worlds.
This kind of elegant room can only accommodate the heads of the four major aristocratic families and the three giants of the military, law and politics.
Although Wen Lan is missing from the Wen family, Wen Chenzhou still exists. Even though he has lost most of his edge, he still cannot be underestimated.
After all, under his management, the Wen family was at the head of the four great families: Xia, Shen, Fu, and Wen.
At first, the major legions dared to suppress Wen Chenzhou because they believed that the Wen family's status was so high because of Wen Lan, and they didn't care about Wen Chenzhou at all.
In everyone's impression, Wen Chenzhou was a frail and sickly old man, and Wen Chenzhou indeed left such an image for them, and it lasted for many years.
In the end, reality slapped them hard and made them understand that Wen Chenzhou had been acting and was not so easy to deal with.
The bright ones cannot come, so they can only resort to shady means.
Wen Chenzhou didn't take any action to resist at first just to find out how many people had ambitions towards the Wen family. As a result, most of the legions were involved; of course there was another reason, but Wen Chenzhou said he would not tell anyone.
-----segmentation------
Half an hour before the party starts.
In every bustling city there is a dark corner.
In this corner, you will see all the evil aspects of human nature.
Darkness not only contains ugly faces, but also includes greed, food, lust, arrogance, jealousy, anger, laziness, etc.
Here, human nature is not only a nutrient, but also a toxin.
The Yuntai, with its gorgeous appearance and extremely luxurious packaging, also embodies all the evil sides of the nobles of the upper class.
For example, this Colosseum should not exist, but in fact, what is a fighting beast? Here, the ones fighting the monsters are not monsters of the same kind, but humans.
Su Lin was sold to this place last month, and this is the third place where he has been sold.
His father turned out to be the captain of a medium-sized star. During his tenure, he worked conscientiously, diligently, and devoted himself to serving the people.
But because what he believed in was contrary to those who only pursue fame, fortune, and happiness, he was imprisoned, his family was exiled, and he was bought.
Su Lin opened his eyes. The long-term hunger made his whole body weak and his mind dizzy. The world in front of him was foggy, making it difficult to see clearly.
But he knew that he was in a basement, and there were many people around him, all children the same age as him.
The people guarding them said that as long as they walked out of the Colosseum alive tonight, or were bought by the nobles, they would really be able to survive.
This is their only chance to survive, but will it really be that easy?
Su Lin didn't know. To put it bluntly, he didn't believe he could stand up.
He still has the only bottle of nutrient solution hidden in his body, which he picked up when passing by the garbage station.
In the past, when he lived in a luxurious and safe villa, he watched the homeless children through surveillance, eating from the trash cans and drinking from the trash cans. He would think: If they are so unclean, won't they get sick?
Now he understands that it doesn't matter if it's not clean. If he still cares about cleanliness at this time, he will starve to death.
Wen Yan followed Wen Chenzhou, watching people with fake smiles one after another, carrying red wine and champagne, coming to talk to Wen Chenzhou and getting close.
Wen Yan felt a little headache for a moment. In her previous life, she was a cultivator and never attended such a place.
Firstly, because she is not good at socializing, and secondly, she feels that almost no one really wants to be a Taoist friend with her, and their hypocritical smiles disgust her.
She doesn't have that much energy to deal with others and try to make everyone like her and admire her. She doesn't have that ability.
Now she was following Wen Chenzhou, and for the first time she couldn't just walk away. Now was the best time for her to recognize all the people who had bullied Wen Chenzhou.
"How are you doing, Mr. Wen? I've always wanted to visit you at home, but I'm so busy with trivial matters that I can't leave." The visitor was wearing a black suit and slightly white hair. Although he was old, his figure was well maintained and he had a smile on his face.
Smile and feel friendly.
"Brother Shen is very interested. There are many days, so just come when you have time. Little Wenyan, this is your Grandpa Shen."
Wen Yan struck up a conversation with the person he came to, and he knew who the other person was without even thinking about it. Shen Yeru, the head of the Shen family, was the only one of the four aristocratic families who had no ill will towards the Wen family, and Wen Shenzhou was quite familiar with him.
Wen Yan clearly sensed Wen Chenzhou's emotional changes. He used overly polite words and perfunctory replies to others.
As for the person in front of him, Wen Chenzhou was really happy, and his tone became much more relaxed and happy.
"Is this the child of Wen Lan and Han Le? They have grown so big, how come time flies by so fast..."
Shen Yeru looked at Wen Yan, whose facial features were very similar to Wen Lan's, and felt uncomfortable in his heart. He had watched Wen Lan grow up, and although he was naughty and mischievous, he would still call out "Shen" sweetly when he saw him. dad. "
It's a pity that things change and people with white hair give away people with black hair...
"I'm sorry, brother, I make you feel bad." Shen Yeru stepped forward to close the distance with Wen Chenzhou, and patted each other's shoulders with both hands.
Wen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at this posture, he knew that Wen Chenzhou had not told Shen Yeru the facts. When the time comes, Wen Chenzhou would have time to slowly explain to his good friend.
She did not disturb the conversation between the two old men, but stayed quietly next to them, and then looked at the people in the hall.
What Wen Yan didn't know was that her quiet appearance turned out to be timid in the eyes of others, and then it was passed down from one to another, producing more than a dozen versions in a short period of time.
But most of them are not good things. The most widely circulated one is "General Wen Lan's child has no talent and is a complete waste."
Very good, Wen Chenzhou's goal has been achieved again, so, there are some things that cannot be seen by eyes alone, and you have to understand the facts no matter what.
To give a simple example, Wen Chenzhou made some modifications to her face, covering up a lot of her general appearance, and only the outline of her eyebrows could be seen.
I believe Wen Chenzhou has told Shen Yeru. If Wen Chenzhou didn't say this, it would be a bit of a trap for his friend.
At this time, a man with a strong aura appeared in Wen Yan's field of vision.
He was wearing a traditional indigo military uniform, his military boots made a clanging sound as he walked, and the cloak behind him swayed in the wind as he moved.
As he got closer, he discovered that the man was very young, which made him look more handsome and handsome. Against the background of the military uniform, his facial features were more angular and his lines were smooth and resolute.
"Mr. Wen, Mr. Shen, good evening." The visitor stopped in front of the two old men and sounded quite respectful to them.
"Good evening, Mr. President."
Wen Yan:?
She really didn't expect that the federal president of the country Xingyuan would be so young. She thought he would be very old.
But she suddenly remembered that a huge change took place in the political field three years ago, and the previous president failed and resigned during the change.
In this way, half of the success of the current president is due to the support of the Wen family and the Shen family.
Grandpa said that the current president is a capable and strategic man. Over time, Xingyuan will undergo great changes.
"Everything goes well. Could you please help me take care of my grandson?"
"Waiting for good news."
Wen Chenzhou touched Wen Yan's head, and she naturally walked to the side of His Excellency the President.
Looking at the man's outstretched hand, Wen Yan hesitated for a moment, but finally put his hand into the man's palm.
"See you later." Wen Chenzhou said goodbye to a few people and glanced at Wen Yan again, which made Shen Yeru laugh. "What are you worried about? Why don't you go on stage to host it and say something?"
We won’t steal your child, so go ahead! When did you become so clingy to your child?
I’m too old to be serious.”
It’s really hard to update continuously!
