Genius club

Chu Anqing is coming too?

Lin Xian felt like he was playing mahjong in a circle.

A small celebration banquet was really attended by people from all walks of life.

It has always been a sign of the highest etiquette for a man to bring his family to a banquet, showing that he attaches great importance to the banquet.

It is not strange in itself for Chu Shanhe to bring his daughter with him. Apart from……

Zhao Yingjun’s eyes looked like a smile but not a smile!

obviously.

The misunderstanding about the previous painting has not been resolved at all.

"Mr. Zhao."

Lin Xian felt that he had to clarify the matter and speak clearly:

"I think in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings in the future, it is better for me to say some things directly."

"You speak."

"I drew that painting casually. You said it looks similar to Chu Anqing. It's really just a coincidence."

"Besides, we all know who Chu Shanhe is, and her daughter is so young... I'm not tired of living, so why would I bother with this?"

Zhao Yingjun was amused by Lin Xian:

"It's rough words but not rough words. Now that you've said it, it's good that you understand the truth. I don't mean anything else, I just hope you don't get into trouble for this."

"Chu Shanhe is not just the president of the Chamber of Commerce on the surface. You will gradually understand his energy in the future. This is the person who should not be offended in the entire Donghai City."

"As for Chu Anqing's resemblance to the painting you drew...you will understand if you see her tomorrow night and confirm it yourself."

Lin Xian nodded. He was indeed curious about this matter. The answer would naturally be revealed at the celebration banquet tomorrow night.

Subsequently.

Lin Xian left Zhao Yingjun's office and went back to work.

…

After get off work in the afternoon.

He came to the small restaurant where he often went to meet Gao Yang.

The other party took off his down jacket and looked at Lin Xian expectantly:

"Really, good brother! You want to invite me to a dinner at the Victoria Hall? The usual buffet costs seven to eight thousand people!"

Lin Xian chuckled.

Picked up the red invitation and shook it.

"Brothers--"

Gao Yang waved his hand and drew the invitation letter with a Q, opened it and looked at it with a smile.

He kept saying, "It's so good, so good."

The saliva tends to drip down:

"I would like to see...this group of upper class people usually eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, but they dare to charge such an expensive price!"

"By the way, Lin Xian, we are both busy at this time, and I didn't have time to ask you about the last time you saw a psychiatrist..."

Gao Yang stuffed the invitation into his pocket and looked at Lin Xian:

"Did you confirm it later? Did you take off the girl's mask?"

Lin Xian put down his chopsticks.

nodded:

"Confirmed, Dr. Liu is right. My dream is just a random dream. It's no big deal."

"I didn't even worry about it. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I would have forgotten it."

He lied.

He didn't mean to deceive Gao Yang.

only……

While confirming that the dream is a real future world, it also indirectly proves that the Genius Club also exists and is already lurking in the fog of history, even right next to itself.

He didn't want to drag the innocent Gao Yang into danger.

So it's better to tell a lie and don't let him worry about you in the future.

He is already very tired from his usual job of selling cars.

"That's good, haha, it was a false alarm!"

Gao Yang picked up the wine glass, laughed and clinked it with Lin Xian, and drank it all in one gulp:

"Hey, what a pity! I was hoping to get rich from your dream!"

haven't seen you for a long time.

Both men had much to say.

Naturally, we won’t leave after having a meal.

After drinking and eating, the two went to their usual bar to play for two hours, and didn't go home until early in the morning.

Anyway, it's Saturday the next day, so I can just sleep until noon and then get up to prepare for the celebration banquet.

…

the next day.

The temperature plummeted.

Little snowflakes fell, gradually becoming denser, covering this international metropolis with a layer of crystal clear jade.

Saturday, December 31, 2022.

On the last day of 2022, it snowed in Donghai City for the first time in a long time.

The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, ushering in a new year.

Squeak——

Lin Xian opened the window that had not been opened for a long time.

Put your hand out the window and feel the coolness of the snowflakes falling on your fingertips.

That thin snowflake...

Like ice crystals, they slowly turned into water stains on Lin Xian's fingertips.

He looked up at the silver-covered city:

"Snowing."

Unlike the north, snow is not a common thing in the city of Donghai, especially the "heavy snow" like today.

The so-called heavy snow is just a comparison with previous years.

\u003c--\u003e\u003e

br\u003e In fact, even if it didn’t stop from morning to evening, it would only accumulate a thin layer on the ground.

As soon as you step on it, it turns into gray slush, twisting together with the melted snow water below, and gradually melting into the flow of pedestrians and traffic.

The days are short in winter.

When Lin Xian packed up and went out at around 7 p.m., it was almost dark outside.

Come to Victoria Hall.

It was much warmer once inside.

According to Lin Xian's eyes, this club looked even more luxurious than the club where Chu Shanhe held a dinner party last time.

That one has a bit of an old-fashioned feel.

But it’s hard to describe something like a sense of luxury. Perhaps that old-fashioned atmosphere is the most noble charm in the eyes of the upper class.

There is a small stage in the middle of the hall, and the outer circle also has buffet tables and chairs, but no food or drinks are served yet.

As for the most conspicuous decoration in the hall...it is naturally the large and small Rhine cat dolls placed everywhere.

Whether on the stairs, in the corner, on the dining table, or even in the gift department, there are many Rhine Cat dolls.

Many of them are new and extremely cute.

Lin Xian looked at his watch.

It's almost half past eight.

The reason why today's celebration banquet starts so late is because today is a special day, it is the last day of 2022.

The vast majority of the company is composed of young people who have not yet started a family.

So, I simply celebrated New Year’s Eve here together.

Everyone who comes here today is rushing to celebrate the New Year in the early morning, so there is no need to eat too early.

"Lin Xian, Professor Xu Yun is almost here. Follow me to meet him at the door."

Zhao Yingjun walked out of the inner hall and called to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian nodded and followed Zhao Yingjun's pace.

She was as heroic as ever today, wearing a dark red haute couture dress that looked like a tall red wine glass. The red gemstone earrings rise and fall with the footsteps of high-heeled shoes, reflecting the bright red light.

"How did Professor Xu Yun come here?"

"He took a taxi himself." Zhao Yingjun replied helplessly:

"I originally arranged for someone to pick him up, but he didn't want to be so high-profile, especially as there were many media reporters squatting outside the school gate, so he was adamant and wanted to take a taxi."

"Well, that's his style."

The two walked out of the hall and stood on the steps, the temperature dropped sharply.

The two professional waiters nearby immediately opened their black umbrellas to shield the two of them from the falling snow.

Zhao Yingjun looked at his watch and rubbed his arms:

"It should be there soon. I called him just now and he has already arrived at the intersection."

She looked at Lin Xian with a smile:

"Besides Chu Shanhe, you may be the only one in the East China Sea who can invite Professor Xu Yun to such a dinner."

"Lin Xian, although I don't know what exactly you helped Professor Xu Yun, and I don't know why he favored you so much. But I do want to thank you for helping MX Company get through such a difficult time."

Lin Xian shook his head:

"I am also a member of MX Company, and I should do these things."

A taxi appeared from the corner of the gate and drove towards the steps. It should be Professor Xu Yun.

Zhao Yingjun and Lin Xian walked out of the black umbrella.

After the taxi stopped, Lin Xian opened the door for Xu Yun:

"Teacher Xu, you are here."

Xu Yun chuckled and shook hands with Lin Xian and then Zhao Yingjun:

"Ms. Zhao, thank you for your kind invitation."

"You're welcome, Professor Xu." Zhao Yingjun smiled politely:

"It's us who take advantage of you."

"Please come in quickly, Professor Xu. It's cold outside, so let's go inside."

Professor Xu Yun is in a good mood today.

He also dressed up specially and put on a straight suit.

He stamped his feet on the red carpet, shook off the slush on the edges of his leather shoes, and walked into the banquet hall with Zhao Yingjun.

Lin Xian followed the two of them, looking back at the taxi driving away and the ruts that were gradually being filled in the heavy snow...

He always felt something was wrong.

But I couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Lin Xian?"

Looking back, he found that Zhao Yingjun and Xu Yun had both turned around and were waiting for him.

"Come in quickly."

Zhao Yingjun smiled and pointed to the cheering and applauding crowd in the hall:

"banquet……"

"It's about to begin."
