In the hall, a light and romantic piece of music was being played. On the ceiling, rows of chandeliers were covered by translucent colored glass covers, making the light ambiguous and hazy.
"Sir, could you ask me to dance?"
A lady with exquisite makeup walked over. It was obvious that she was very young. Even though she deliberately put on mature makeup, she still gave people a childlike feeling.
According to social etiquette, a gentleman cannot refuse a girl's small request in public, so Lu Li readily agreed and said with a smile:
"My pleasure."
On the side, Boss Luo looked at the two of them with a smile, like an old priest blessing the newlyweds.
"That... seems to be one of the heirs of the New World Bank?"
"Yes, Miss Celine, the blood of the New World Bank, heard that her father is seriously ill and no longer performs her duties."
A well-informed source analyzed, "In the midst of the crisis, Roche Biologics not only did not keep a low profile, but instead held a grand welcome party for the new directors. Presumably, there will be some big moves next."
"It just so happens that the New World Bank, an interstellar organization, can provide them with a fund."
In a few words, the true purpose of this welcome meeting was guessed.
The reason why Boss Luo is so high-profile is that he really wants to convey a certain message to the outside world and firmly bind Lu Li to the company——
Although no media reporters were invited to the banquet, all the prominent people on the planet were present, and they saw how much Roche Biologics valued the new director.
Of course, Lu Li didn't know about these twists and turns, and he had no interest in participating. He was busy dancing with the lady in front of him.
It’s not that I can’t let go, it’s not that I can’t control the rhythm.
In fact, Lu Li, who had received half an hour of training in advance, danced so well that Elizabeth, the life secretary who acted as etiquette teacher, even suspected that he had actually mastered this social skill long ago.
It's just that the other person's eyes are too hot.
As a female companion, Ms. Celine felt very relaxed. She didn't need to think at all. She only had to follow Lu Li's rhythm, like a puppet.
However, the music would not continue playing forever. The moment the music stopped, Lu Li quickly let go of his hand.
Frankly speaking, if Luo Yue had not been firm, he would not have appeared in public at all. After all, it was too high-profile and was not conducive to hiding himself, even though for now, there is no need for it.
"Sir, can you go over there and have a drink? For our tacit cooperation just now."
Miss Celine found the man in front of her very interesting and extended the invitation again.
When this scene caught the eyes of others, it immediately aroused discussion, and Boss Luo's smile became even brighter.
That's a great start, isn't it?
Everything was developing in the direction he expected.
Unfortunately, Lu Li showed little interest in this.
Out of politeness, I had a few drinks with this Miss Celine, and after chatting for a few words, I casually found an excuse to leave.
In fact, no one is indispensable.
Seeing that Lu Li had no intention of getting in-depth contact with her, Miss Celine didn't care, because several young men immediately gathered around him.
The table is filled with exquisite food and various desserts and snacks, but how are these as important as girls?
"Why don't you talk to her more."
At this time, Boss Luo came over.
"..."
Lu Li, who found a corner to sit down, took a sip of wine, covered the strange expression on his face with a cup, and asked, "Why do we need to talk more?"
"Her father is a director of the New World Bank."
Having said this, Boss Luo turned his gaze slightly and glanced at the dance floor.
Miss Celine was chatting with several suitors, but she seemed distracted and looked around from time to time. When she saw someone next to Lu Li looking over, she immediately smiled back.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Lu Li was a little impatient. Luo's Biotech's image in his mind was getting lower and lower. It was clearly a giant company in the biotechnology industry, but its boss was as bad as a matchmaker, no, worse than a matchmaker.
He was actually asked to act like a cowherd as a director, trying to seduce a rich woman, even though she was too young.
"All right."
Seeing this, Luo Yue also noticed the impatience in Lu Li's heart and took the initiative to explain: "The best way to get out of a relationship is to start a new one. It just so happens that this Miss Celine is beautiful and rich. I thought you would like it." of."
Good guy...
So I have to thank you?
Thinking of this, Lu Li became more and more speechless and sighed: "Don't arrange such activities in the future. I don't like to be exposed to the public."
"Don't worry, the media was not invited to this welcome meeting, and it will not be reported afterwards."
During this period, there were some problems with the capital chain of Roche Biotechnology. It was not fatal, but the progress of the experiment would be delayed——
In order to thoroughly study the small alien, the company needs to invest a lot of special funds.
Because of this, Luo Yue immediately thought of going to the bank for a loan. As for whether Miss Celine would have a spark with Lu Li, it was really not within his scope of consideration in advance.
But now, the other party obviously intends to have in-depth contact.
One of the heirs to the New World Bank and the new director of a listed company, the two are a perfect match.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was very resistant to this, which gave Boss Luo a headache.
As far as he knew, Miss Celine had never accepted an invitation to dance from others, but today she became particularly proactive. Didn't this mean something?
"Let's talk business."
Seeing that Luo Yue had been silent until now, Lu Li knew what this guy was up to and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"Oh? I heard from Luo Xuan that you are very resistant to handling company affairs. I didn't expect you would give up so quickly."
"As for that alien, how do you plan to do experiments with it?" Lu Li didn't want to be entangled in the unsatisfactory things just now, and talked about the area that Luo Yue was most concerned about, "The secretary you arranged for me said, Which part should I be responsible for?"
"Of course, you seem to know this race better than others."
Sure enough, Luo Yue could not care about anything else and her expression became serious, "It is a treasure. As long as it is properly developed, the company can be revitalized and become a real industry giant."
"So, to answer the original question, what experiments should we do with the aliens first?"
"It's still very weak and can't withstand the torture. I'm going to do two sets of experiments first." Luo Yue lowered her voice and said, "You are in charge of one group and I am in charge of another group. One is for cell cloning and the other is for exoskeleton armor. field."
Cell cloning?
Lu Li couldn't help but frown.
This was the area he was most worried about. A drop of alien blood sample could clone countless larvae.
And they all have unlimited possibilities. They may be weaker than the mother, but they may also become stronger. Especially during cloning experiments, scientists can use genetic debugging technology to make the new larvae more powerful.
Of course, there are also cases where it is impossible to copy and debug, or the alien that provided the cells itself has low potential and cannot be used to clone better experimental subjects.
"Which group am I in charge of?" Lu Li asked tentatively.
"The second group is the development of exoskeleton armor. If nothing unexpected happens, it will soon yield results and bring benefits to the company." Luo Yue replied.
Not surprisingly.
In fact, Lu Li didn't notice that his mentality was no longer so radical compared to before.
"What are the specific work arrangements?"
"It's nothing, it's just a name. Come and check on me regularly to prevent the experimenters below from slacking off."
at the same time.
Another song ended, and the dancers dispersed, either going to the dining table to get some food, or forming a small circle in small groups, bursting into warm laughter from time to time.
Other directors of Roche Biologics were walking among the crowd, chatting and laughing. During this period, at least two dozen people reached an agreement on the distribution of interests and cooperation on projects.
At this moment, the people who still choose to stay on the dance floor are mostly young people who are keen on socializing. Some are surrounding Miss Celine, and some are accompanying their female companions.
"Oh, you really don't look like a young man."
Luo Yue pretended to be vicissitudes of life, but did not get any response.
This time, he finally stopped thinking about it completely.
At around 12 o'clock in the morning, the welcome meeting that lasted for nearly ten hours finally ended.
It was impossible to dance and discuss business all the time, so there were a few performances inserted during the period.
"Concubine Yang" and "Dance of Colorful Feather Clothes".
If it weren't for the name of the program shown on the electronic monitor and the lyrics barely corresponding to the original version, Lu Li wouldn't have been able to recognize what these were.
No need to think about it, other clubs must have sent people to steal the trade secrets from Miss Kamio.
However, because the costumes are too complex, it is difficult to reproduce them just by observation. Although the subtitles and background information can be jotted down, the singing, posture, and behind-the-scenes soundtrack work cannot be imitated. As a result, the costumes are too complex. He came out looking very different.
"When you were enjoying the performance, you frowned the whole time. Didn't they learn the same thing?"
"A poor imitator with no charm at all."
"There's nothing I can do. The Atom Club is closed for the day. I really can't invite you."
Lu Li and Luo Yue lay side by side on the armrests of the high platform, watching the guests who came to support them leave.
In the night rain, suspended cars soared into the sky and disappeared quickly.
"Don't mention it in the future, so as not to reveal my identity." Lu Li felt a little complicated every time he heard this name.
Through observation, Luo Yue also noticed that there was nothing between Director Lu and the lady in front of him. It seemed like what he said before:
confidant.
"Understood, Mr. Lu Mengming." Boss Luo smiled, deliberately teased, and asked again:
"Does this name have any special meaning?"
"In ancient times, people not only had a name, a surname, but also a character. It was an explanation and supplement to the name."
Lu Li answered seriously.
Hearing this, Boss Luo nodded thoughtfully and said with emotion, "You are indeed very knowledgeable about ancient history. I have seen the saying that the ancients had words in the diaries left by our ancestors."
"Wait...so, you make money to return to your home planet, Earth?"
In an instant, he caught a flash of inspiration and thought of the most correct answer. He was still a little unsure at first, but after seeing Lu Li's surprised expression, Boss Luo was completely confused.
Return to home planet? !
This idea is really...
madness?
ignorance?
Or are those who don’t know fearless?
The reason why he chases dangerous creatures like aliens is purely for power and to enjoy the process of reaching the top.
And Lu Li, a humanoid monster with unknown power inside his body, was going around in circles just to make money and return to Earth.
The reason I boarded the Tinder was to gain experience, and now I agreed to cooperate with him to buy a spaceship.
All the clues are connected together.
Many incomprehensible things can be explained.
Frankly speaking, Boss Luo feels that this life goal is too absurd.
"The Nemesis Galaxy was developed more than 4,000 years ago. As far as I know, the name has a profound meaning, but the specific meaning of it has never been revealed to the public by the alliance's senior officials.
As for the mother planet Earth... it has long been forgotten by history, and no one knows where it is specifically. According to family records, it is in a place called the Laniakea supercluster. "
Luo Yue was lost in memories, looking at the gradually thinning crowd below the building, and sighed: "But when I was young, I looked through the star map, but I couldn't find this super galaxy cluster, not even anything similar."
"Maybe it has turned into an inconspicuous firework in the vast universe."
a planet.
Although it is of great significance and has given birth to human beings, there will always be a day when resources are exhausted. Perhaps the era of the big universe has come because of this.
As time goes by, science and technology develop rapidly, and the rate of human colonization increases exponentially, but it is finally forgotten, and occasionally someone will think of it and remember it.
Or, to put it more pessimistically.
The earth died, and the star it orbited entered the end of its life and turned into an exploding supernova. Under the shock wave radiation, the entire galaxy was reduced to ruins.
In order to convince Lu Li not to be stupid again and let him follow him properly, Boss Luo added: "The Nemesis Galaxy has a maximum diameter of 220,000 light-years. The company's most advanced spaceship can travel at twenty times the speed of light. It sells for 100 million Fifty million credits, bare metal, without escape hatch or ejection pod.”
On the side, Lu Li rubbed the handrail with his fingers. He thought for a while and suddenly said: "The Luo species only have strong control over the surrounding planets and are nothing within the alliance. Since four thousand years ago, someone could learn from other If the galaxy migrates here, there is no reason why it cannot get out.
As you said, technology is developing rapidly. No. 216 is a third-class star that has just been upgraded, and there are a large number of planets in the alliance that are more advanced than it. The spacecraft produced by these planets will sail faster. . "
This time, it was Luo Yue's turn to be speechless. He had spent so much time talking, but still couldn't convince Lu Li to give up this unrealistic idea.
But if you think about it carefully, it can be considered a mistake.
"Then, in order to be able to buy a spaceship capable of interstellar navigation, we have to work together."
A pair of hands stretched out.
"You know, with Luo's biology's current size, even if it were packaged and sold, it wouldn't be able to afford such high-end goods." Luo Yue laughed at herself.
Once, he firmly believed that Luo Shi could help Lu Li realize his dream, and that everyone could achieve each other's success, but now he saw that it was too far off.
"Well, just selling health products is not enough."
Lu Li rarely let down his guard and joked.
Because he really couldn't forget the bizarre scene of a kimono-clad lady singing and selling medicine on the giant screen.
