Chapter 11 Dinner Party
The female manager sent the shopping guide away and led Lin Xian into the inner room.

"Mr. Lin, please come in."

After entering the room, Lin Xian found that the light inside was very bright. The surroundings of the house were filled with European-style wooden furniture, which gave it a very old feel.

In the middle of the room, there are several glass cabinets, each with a neatly crafted suit hanging in it.

"Mr. Lin, since you are going to attend a dinner tonight, it is definitely too late to make a suit from scratch. The ones on display here are all standard styles. I will take out the suits you like and let you try them on. You have a standard figure, so I will ask the tailor to make some minor modifications and you can wear them directly."

"Personally, I recommend the one on the left. It's less formal and has brighter accents."

Listening to the female manager's introduction, Lin Xian turned his head to look at the glass cabinet on the left.

It was a blue-black suit. Lin Xian could see that... this suit was a notch higher in every way than those outside.

"Then let's try this one."

Lin Xian has only worn a suit once in his life, and he trusts professional vision more than choosing it himself.

After trying it on, Lin Xian looked in the mirror.

It is true that clothes make the man... The effect is really different once you put on this top-notch suit.

"That's it."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, please come over here with me. I'll ask the tailor to measure your size and make some modifications. By the way, do you want me to recommend a tie for you?"

"Well, you come and match it."

……

After a long time, Lin Xian walked out of the store carrying a suit case.

For the first time, he realized that these top-quality suits were usually packed in boxes.

The female manager told him to take the suit out of the box when he got home and hang it upright to prevent wrinkles. The purpose of the box is to protect the suit during transportation.

"So delicate..."

When Lin Xian carried the suit case, he felt like he was carrying a box of gold.

He was quite curious about how much this so-called top-notch suit was worth...but there was no price written on the three glass cabinets, and the female manager directly charged it to Zhao Yingjun's account. In the end, Lin Xian had no idea how much it was.

7 pm.

Lin Xian took a taxi to the dinner venue.

This is the most luxurious mansion in the entire Donghai City. After the car stopped, a special receptionist opened the door and held the upper door frame with his palm.

"Sir, please be careful when you get off the car."

Lin Xian walked towards the hall of the guild hall. On the way, several guests who met him nodded and smiled at him, and Lin Xian also smiled and nodded.

The entire hall is decorated in European style, with elegance and solemnity revealed between the bricks and tiles.

When we walked into the hall, the dinner hadn't officially started yet.

The guests were all holding wine glasses, chatting around, and melodious violin and piano were playing on the second floor. This atmosphere... reminded Lin Xian of the scene in "Titanic".

Lin Xian quickly found Zhao Yingjun.

She was wearing a dark red evening gown today, with her hair tied up high, creating a very formal look.

Lin Xian noticed that her earrings had also changed from silver in the morning to crystal red, which matched the evening dress very well.

Unlike Zhao Yingjun who usually wears formal clothes, Zhao Yingjun today... looks more feminine and has the beauty of a rose on a high branch.

"Lin Xian, you are here."

Zhao Yingjun noticed Lin Xian, looked him up and down, and nodded:
"You have good taste. This dress suits you very well."

She came over, picked up Lin Xian's tie knot and pulled it tight:

"Lin Xian, a suit is a man's armor and a tie is his sword. Remember to tie it tighter next time."

"Oh, okay..." Lin Xian agreed.

Patting Lin Xian's collar, Zhao Yingjun picked up the wine glass again and led Lin Xian inside:
"Today's science fundraising dinner was organized by the president of the [East China Sea Chamber of Commerce]... [Chu Shanhe]."

She pointed at the burly man at the bottom of the long staircase in the hall, chatting and laughing with a group of bigwigs:

"That's Chu Shanhe, the most famous figure in Donghai City."

"heard about it."

Lin Xian nodded.

Chu Shanhe is a name that is known to everyone in Donghai City. He is the person that no one dares to mess with in the entire Donghai City.

Donghai City is an international metropolis with complicated internal and external issues. The position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which has great influence and hard power... is not something that ordinary people can hold.

"When I was in college, I often heard about Chu Shanhe's legendary stories, but I didn't know whether they were true or not. There were also rumors that... he was a daughter slave?"

Zhao Yingjun smiled lightly:
"That's true."

"Does he dote on his daughter?"

"That's not just ordinary love... I'm afraid of dropping it if I hold it in my hands, and I'm afraid of it melting if I hold it in my mouth."

Zhao Yingjun looked around and shook his head:

"Chu Shanhe always brought his daughter to every banquet before, but I didn't see her today. She's a very pretty girl."

"Oh."

Lin Xian responded casually.

He doesn't care about these gossips, which have nothing to do with his world.

"Lin Xian, look over there."

Zhao Yingjun pulled Lin Xian and pointed to the other side.

There was a man standing alone in the corner of the hall, and his appearance was out of place with the entire dinner.

He was wearing a casual shirt, an unshaved beard, and thick square glasses that were now fogged up...

"That's Professor Xu from Tunghai University, Professor Xu Yun. Did you know him when you were in school?"

"I don't know him." Lin Xian told the truth.

Tunghai University is so big, with so many colleges and so many teachers... Lin Xian can't even recognize all the teachers in his own college, let alone those in other colleges.

"Professor Xu Yun is the only scientist in China who is researching the hibernation chamber topic. He has not made any progress in his research so far. He has not even figured out the most basic theories, let alone any substantial progress."

"Is there anyone in China who is researching this? It's too sci-fi."

Zhao Yingjun lowered her head and smiled:
"He's the only one."

"Because he was researching such outrageous things, no research institute wanted him, and his former teachers and students all left him. Everyone thought he was crazy."

"After so many years, he has only managed to get the title of associate professor without any scientific research results. He can only stay in the university, teaching classes and doing research in the laboratory."

"but."

Zhao Yingjun stared at the red wine shaking in the glass and continued:
"Perhaps this is the fate of human beings. When things get bad to the extreme, they will rebound."

"Some time ago, he failed again when researching the filling fluid for the hibernation chamber, but he accidentally obtained a new chemical substance."

"When this substance combines with water molecules, it forms a monomolecular film that is breathable but completely isolated from water molecules and is harmless to the skin."

Zhao Yingjun put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then took a glass of new red wine from the tray of the waiter next to him:

"This chemical substance is undoubtedly a failure for Professor Xu's hibernation research. But Lin Xian..."

"Do you know what this substance means in the field of skin care products?"
