Genius Club Chapter 11 Dinner Party (1/2)
The female manager sent the salesperson away and led Lin Xian into the room.
This room is at the back of the store, very hidden, and there is no sign on the door.
"Mr. Lin, please come in."
After the female manager pressed the password lock, she bowed and motioned Lin Xian to come in first.
After entering the room, Lin Xian found that the light inside was very bright, and the house was surrounded by European-style wooden furniture, which was very old.
In the middle of the house, there were three glass cabinets, each of which hung a set of formal suits.
"Mr. Lin, this is the top handmade suit in our store. Each one is hand-sewn by more than 80 workers through more than 200 processes."
"You are an expert, so I won't tell you more about the craftsmanship. Which of these three suits do you like? I'll take it out for you to try."
"I heard from Mr. Zhao that... you will attend a dinner with her in the evening. If it is a dinner... I actually recommend the one on the left. Its style is not so formal and the matching is a little brighter."
Listening to the introduction of the female manager, Lin Xian turned his head to look at the glass cabinet on the left.
It was a blue-black suit. Even though Lin Xian didn't know much, he could tell at a glance that this suit was a step higher in every aspect than those outside.
"Then let's take this one. Try it on."
Lin Xian had only worn a suit once in his life. He trusted professional eyes more than choosing it himself.
After trying it on, Lin Xian looked in the mirror.
It's true that clothes make the man... Once this top-notch suit was put on, the effect was really different. Lin Xian had the illusion of entering the upper class and becoming a half-noble.
"Let's take this one. Please pack it for me."
"Okay, Mr. Lin! Do you need me to recommend a tie for you?"
"Well, you can match it."
... After a long time, Lin Xian walked out of the store carrying a suit box.
It was the first time he knew that this kind of top-notch suit was usually packed in a box.
The female manager told him that he had to take the suit out of the box and hang it vertically to prevent wrinkles after returning home. The purpose of this box is to protect the suit during transportation.
"It's really delicate..."
Lin Xian felt like he was carrying a box of gold when he carried this suit box.
He was quite curious about how much this so-called top-grade suit was worth... But there was no price written on the three glass cabinets, and the female manager directly put it on Zhao Yingjun's account, so Lin Xian didn't know how much it was in the end.
Since the "basic model" outside can be sold for 96,000, the "high-end model" inside must be at least doubled, right?
7 o'clock in the evening.
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 car door and blocked the upper door frame with his palm.
"Sir, please be careful when getting off the car."
Lin Xian walked towards the hall of the club. On the way, several oncoming guests nodded and smiled at Lin Xian, and Lin Xian also smiled and nodded.
The entire club is decorated in European style, and the bricks and tiles reveal elegance and solemnity.
Walking into the hall, the dinner has not officially started yet.
The guests all held wine glasses and chatted around, and the melodious violin and piano were played on the second floor. This atmosphere... reminded Lin Xian of the scene in "Titanic".
Lin Xian quickly found Zhao Yingjun.
She wore a dark red evening dress today, with her hair tied up high, in 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 a more beautiful rose on a high branch.
"Lin Xian, you are here."
Zhao Yingjun noticed Lin Xian, looked him up and down, and nodded:
"Good taste, this dress suits you very well."
She came over, pinched Lin Xian's tie knot, and tightened it:
"Lin Xian, a suit is a man's armor, and a tie is a sword in your hand. 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 [Donghai Chamber of Commerce]... [Chu Shanhe]."
She pointed to the burly man who was chatting and laughing with a group of bigwigs under the long stairs in the hall:
"That's Chu Shanhe, the most famous big shot in Donghai City."
"I've heard of him."
Lin Xian nodded.
The name Chu Shanhe is known to everyone in Donghai City. This is the person who should not be provoked in the entire Donghai City, and no one dares to provoke him.
As an international metropolis, Donghai City is intricate and complicated. The position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, which has great voice 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 ordinary doting... He holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her." Zhao Yingjun looked around and shook his head: "Chu Shanhe used to bring his daughter to every banquet, but I didn't see her today. She's a very beautiful girl." "Oh." Lin Xian responded casually. He didn't care about these gossips, which had nothing to do with him.
"Lin Xian, look over there."
Zhao Yingjun pulled Lin Xian and pointed to the other side.
It was a man standing alone in the corner of the hall. His painting style was incompatible with the entire dinner.
He was wearing a very casual shirt, an unshaven beard on his face, and thick square glasses that were still foggy...
"That is Professor Xu and Professor Xu Yun from Tunghai University. Did you know him when you were in school?"
"I don't know." Lin Xian told the truth.
Tunghai University is so big, has so many colleges, and so many teachers... Lin Xian can't even recognize all the teachers in this college, let alone other colleges. .
"Professor Xu Yun is the only scientist in China who studies the subject of [hibernation cabin]. There has been little progress in research. He has not even grasped the most basic theory, let alone made any substantial progress."
"Is there anyone in China studying this? It's too science fiction."
Zhao Yingjun lowered his head and smiled:
"He's the only one."
"Just because he studied such outrageous things, no research institute wanted him. His former teachers and students also left him. Everyone thought he was crazy."
"For 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 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 people. When it declines to the extreme, it will rebound."
"Some time ago, he failed again when studying the hibernation cabin filling fluid, but accidentally obtained a new chemical substance."
"After this substance combines with water molecules, it will form a monomolecular film that is breathable but completely isolates water molecules and is harmless to the skin."
Zhao Yingjun put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and then took a new glass of red wine from 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 our skin care field?" 39288185.
