Resurrection Empire

Chapter 252 We are friends

In the banquet hall on the top floor of the magnificent Liaoyuan Yersun Hotel, a group of well-dressed people were drinking and chatting happily.

Uniformed service staff walked back and forth with their heads lowered, serving tea and wine.

The banquet hall on the top floor covers an area of ​​3,800 square meters, and is topped by an integrated bowl-shaped dome.

The transparent dome emits natural light as a whole.

The dome is also dotted with star-like color-changing lamp beads, which look like a starry sky.

The banquet hall is divided into four areas, which are divided into four sectors, namely dining area, party area, performance area and entertainment area.

At this time, the guests were active in the party area.

There is still nearly half an hour before the official start, but at least two hundred people have arrived at the scene.

Most of the people in the venue were citizens from level three or above.

Ren Zhong, the half-master, also arrived early.

Today he is undoubtedly the protagonist.

Ren Zhong held Ju Qingmeng, who looked dignified and elegant in Chinese clothes, with his left hand, followed by Han Yaren on his right.

On the way here, Ju Qingmeng was worried that Ren Zhong would not be able to adapt to such an occasion. Unexpectedly, once he arrived here, he behaved not like an unruly genius, but like a diplomat.

He always had a warm smile on his face, and with constant introductions from Han Ya people, he chatted skillfully with everyone and exchanged contact information.

Everyone else was catering to him as a rookie, but he also showed exquisite social skills and could always make people chat with him in a few words.

Ju Qingmeng was a little surprised. He found an opportunity to quietly whisper in Ren Zhong's ear: "Why are you so skilled?"

Ren Zhong was stunned, "What?"

"It's just about human nature and sophistication. I feel like you always seem to be able to catch what other people are interested in, and then use a few words to arouse people's interest. For example, the girl just now was interested in the beast. I originally thought you would make peace with her. During the battle with Legionmon, you ended up saying how cute the silver bunny was, which made her so happy. And earlier, the young man was considering whether to become a gunsmith or a mecha warrior, so you immediately programmed a test in your watch. Plan, and also tested on the spot that his talent for developing into an agile mecha warrior is the best. And... Anyway, I think everyone seems to like chatting with you."

Ren Zhong smiled and shook his head, "Actually, it's not that I'm good at socializing, but because we are all trying to please each other. No matter what we say to each other, the other party will always show pleasure and satisfaction."

"ah?"

"I am worth hundreds of billions, young and promising, and have a bright future. Anyone with a right mind wants to be friends with me. Just so I need friends like them. My social circle among citizens is too narrow. Every time I get to know a new citizen now, it has value. No matter who he is or what his abilities are, he will become part of my network. If there is an appropriate opportunity in the future, we will be able to establish a temporary mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. "

Ju Qingmeng: "Like the two of us?"

"No, there is an essential difference between friends and friends. They are passers-by. There will be many passers-by in a person's life. In different life journeys, passers-by are not useless. They can be a help or a hindrance. The important thing is our own choice. But in addition to passers-by, we always need some real friends who we can trust absolutely and can trust her with. In every stage of life, real friends are worthy of relying on each other."

Ju Qingmeng nodded, "I understand."

While the two were chatting, a few more people appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

Ren Zhong smiled and said: "The third type of person between the passing friend and you has appeared."

"What?"

"Ordinary interest partners."

Ren Zhong said this, but he was already walking quickly over and greeted warmly: "Wu Dazui, Li Ruoling, Zhou Guanyan, you are here. This is a surprise."

These people were the ones with whom Ren Zhong had a good relationship among the first batch of classmates at Liaoyuan Science College, and they were also his "private equity fund" clients.

Zhou Guanyan was the one who expressed at the dinner table that when Ren Zhong had his first dinner with these classmates, Wu Da Zui's father killed more than 2,000 people in that operation, which was not a good thing.

Wu Dazui was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Guanyan, but he was willing to deal with Zhou Guanyan due to his heavy responsibility, and the small grudge was quietly resolved.

Ju Qingmeng followed behind Ren Zhong and also approached.

Not far away, Han Yaren, who was greeting others, saw this and quickly turned around and said: "Mr. Ren, when I was handing out the invitation list, I found that you still have this group of friends in the college. Although according to the rules, these few Your citizen level is relatively low, but I was afraid that you would be lonely, so I also sent invitations to a few of you."

Wu Dazui and others recognized Han Yaren at a glance and greeted Han Yaren respectfully.

After some polite greetings, Han Yaren, the organizer of the banquet, went elsewhere, while Ren Zhong took several classmates and Ju Qingmeng to find a terrace to sit down.

Ren Zhong first introduced the two parties and they were acquainted.

Wu Dazui picked up the wine glass filled with fruit wine and took the lead in congratulating Ren Zhong.

It's a heavy responsibility but disrespectful, drink it all in one gulp.

After putting down the wine glass, the waiter came forward again and asked everyone whether they had female or male companions as usual.

Except for Li Ruoling, everyone in the stock trading team ordered dishes one after another.

The waiter accepted the order and respectfully retreated.

Wu Dazhao smacked his lips and said: "Speaking of which, these high-class citizens really know how to enjoy themselves. The quality of the playmates here is not low. Outside, they would cost at least hundreds of thousands a night. Although I followed Brother Ren and you made money by trading stocks. I have some money, but I really can’t bear to spend it like this.”

"It's really luxurious." Ren nodded and looked down at the natural fruit wine that the waiter was pouring into the cup in his hand.

This glass of fruit wine is worth thousands of points.

In addition to being sweet and delicious, the added ingredients in fruit wine also help professionals to increase bioelectricity carrying power.

Only when you reach this state can you realize what the true smell of meat and wine is.

He still clearly remembered the searching he had done a few months ago in order to get a set of improved secondary exoskeleton armor.

Who would have thought that now it would be gone after just one sip of wine?

After waiting for a while, four women and two men arrived.

The women's clothing is not revealing, they are all dressed in dignified and luxurious clothes, and their behavior is flirtatious, but not too vulgar.

Some are exquisite and cute, some are tall and plump, each is good at winning and charming.

The two men are also of good appearance and temperament, one looks like a little fresh meat, and the other is rich and handsome.

When the six "playmates" arrived, they didn't say much. They just stood beside their "masters" skillfully, either helping to add wine, delivering clothes, or finding a hand fan according to the "master's" request. Shake gently and try to imitate the feeling of natural wind.

Wu Da Zui and the others were not in a hurry, and still only focused on chatting with Ren Zhong.

"Upper society" has its own rules. Everyone is a respectable person, and there is no need to lose rank because of temporary desires.

Ren Zhong's eyes calmly swept over these "playmates" who were not slaves but were better than slaves.

He was observing these people.

If they hadn't known their identities in advance, at a glance, they would have felt that these people were more or less descendants of aristocratic families.

They behaved gracefully and appropriately, their micro-expressions and body language were perfectly controlled, and they clearly received professional training.

This gesture reminded Ren Zhong of a certain person.

Yes, Mr. Yang.

Ren Zhong sighed in his heart, this is a machine that turns people into people-pleasing machines.

He felt a little unnatural, so he stood up with Ju Qingmeng and said, "There are other friends who need to be received. You can play by yourself first and talk later."

Li Ruoling, who was dressed up, quickly stood up and said: "Brother Ren, I...I didn't call you a playmate. I know you brought a female companion today, but I can do it too!"

As she spoke, Li Ruoling deliberately puffed out her chest.

Today she wore a golden low-cut dress.

With her movements, a large area of ​​scenery was undoubtedly revealed.

Ren Zhong froze.

Ju Qingmeng answered for Ren Zhong.

She smiled and said: "Ms. Li is too polite, but today I have to say that it is only me. In addition, he doesn't like gold, he likes red."

Li Ruoling was stunned.

Ren Zhong handed over his hand again and left with Ju Qingmeng and Shi Shiran.

After the others had gone away, Li Ruoling gritted her teeth secretly and sat down, feeling very frustrated.

Her lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something unconvincing, but she finally swallowed it.

She only thought in her heart.

What are you pretending to be? You think I don’t know you, you are the school beauty Ju from Chongyi County.

You used to have a reputation of being a noble person, but now it seems that you are nothing more than that.

What are you proud of? You just got the upper hand!

An hour and a half later, Ma Shengfu, the first deputy governor of Yangsheng City, arrived and encouraged Ren Zhong under the camera of Yangsheng Local TV Station.

Afterwards, the reporters left, and Ren Zhong and Ma Shengfu chatted about everyday things.

When he learned the name of the consul, Ren Zhong had already made some assumptions in his mind. After asking carefully, it turned out to be true.

This Ma Shengfu is actually Lao Ma's cousin.

The Ma family is indeed a great family.

Ma Dafu and his daughter are probably the disgrace of the Ma family.

After getting acquainted with each other, before Ren Zhong could speak, Ma Shengfu had already raised his voice and said: "Mr. Ren, I have heard about Manager Ju. I made a special trip to check and found out that her parents have passed the legal retirement age. Recalled again. There is indeed something fishy at the Chongyi Arms Mall."

Li Ruoling, who was quietly following behind, looking for an opportunity to get close to Ren Zhong and Ma Shengfu, pricked up her ears.

Ren Zhong, on the other hand, asked slightly confused: "How do you say that?"

"In your battle in Spark Town, Manager Ju also took the greatest credit. According to normal circumstances, Yuanxing Military Industry should issue a large number of credit points to Manager Ju. But as far as I know, Manager Ju, you only live in your place of residence. Can you get some from Chengyi County?"

Ju Qingmeng nodded, "Yes, only five million points."

Ma Shengfu snorted, "It was Wang Jin, the heir to Tianyuan Military Industry, who broke the rules. How many points do you have left to advance to the third level of citizenship?"

Ju Qingmeng: "The total cost from level two to level three is 40 million, and I'm still 17 million short."

Ma Shengfu nodded, "I will investigate this matter personally and give you an explanation in half an hour."

But Ren Zhong said: "Consul Ma, I think points are a trivial matter. I can solve this. What's more important is what will happen to Qingmeng's parents after she becomes a third-level citizen?"

Just as he was talking, Ju Qingmeng suddenly exclaimed, "It's up to you..."

Ren Zhong waved his hand, "Don't make a fuss."

Ma Shengfu looked at Ju Qingmeng in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ju Qingmeng held Ren Zhong's arm tightly and looked at him with questioning eyes.

"It's okay, just tell me."

"Consul Ma, Mr. Ren just transferred 170 million to me and set it as my payee to pay taxes. So... I have enough points."

There was a little silence in the banquet hall.

In today's venue, there is more than one person with a net worth of tens of billions, but 170 million is by no means a small number.

Ren Zhong took it out without blinking an eyelid, and even let people say it in public.

Everyone knew that he was declaring his sovereignty to Wang Jinshou from a distance.

Li Ruoling first looked at Ren Zhong's back, then at Ju Qingmeng. She suddenly realized that Ren Zhong was not just playing around with the woman next to him. This is love!

Here, Ma Shengfu understood what Ren Zhong meant and just laughed, "Okay, I'll give you an answer in five minutes."

After saying that, Ma Shengfu walked aside, found a sofa and sat down, closing his eyes.

Ju Qingmeng's arms trembled slightly with excitement, and he had to hold on to Ren Zhong to stand firm.

What she cared about was not money, but that Ren Zhong finally fulfilled her promise.

She reluctantly raised her head and looked at Ren Zhong, her eyes gradually turning red.

Vaguely, the scene in her eyes seemed to have returned to the talent testing room in the Spark Town Mall.

In her ears, she remembered Ren Zhong's slightly presumptuous words when they first met, even as if they were deliberately trying to get close.

"Of course! Because we are friends, you helped me without asking for anything in return. Now, as your friend, I should naturally help you too."

At that time, she thought it was just a joke, or a lie made up by a low-ranking person to get close to a high-ranking person.

I never dreamed that exactly 125 days later, this sentence would come true.

"Thank you, Ren Zhong."

Ren Zhong: "Between friends, there is no need to say thank you. I said that I will do everything I promised."

"Uh-huh!"
