Dengke Building is located on the bank of Dongshui River in the city, with an ancient tribute courtyard nearby.
Gongyuan is the place where rural examinations are held, usually in provincial capitals. Success in the examination is a person's promotion. In ancient times, it was an important symbol for civilians to cross social classes. The folk song "a poor scholar, a golden person, a golden person, and a silver Jinshi" is the best portrayal.
In Wen Rensheng's previous life, these ancient buildings were rarely seen, and only a few places were still preserved. However, in this world, there were no great ups and downs, and many historic sites were completely preserved.
The vicinity of this Gongyuan is the fixed test site for previous alien qualification assessments, which has profound meaning.
The three of them got off the car nearby and came to the front of the building.
This is an antique six-story wooden building with an antique feel. It is owned by a large catering group in this city and is not open to the public. If you want to hold a party here, you must have membership.
Therefore, even though it is a Saturday and there are a lot of people, there is still a sense of purity here.
There were already several people waiting in front of the building, and as soon as Wen Rensheng approached, those people came to greet him.
As soon as the leading man opened his mouth, Wen Rensheng knew that this was Feng Youlin who called last night.
"This is Mr. Wenren, I'm glad to meet you."
The speaker was a man in his forties, with a voice as deep as a phone call. He had straight facial features and a Chinese-character face. Judging from his appearance, he was somewhat similar to Feng Jingjing's eyebrows.
Wen Rensheng knew what was going on, so he stepped forward and said, "You must be Mr. Feng, let's talk about each other."
"Haha, sir, you are so polite. Please come with me." He said and led the three of them into the wooden building.
However, Wen Rensheng noticed that the others behind Feng Youlin did not follow.
"Is there anyone else attending the meeting?" Wen Rensheng said casually as he walked.
"Well, there are a few seniors who are experts on alien species." Feng Youlin's tone was a bit showy.
"It seems that Mr. Feng has a lot of energy." Wen Rensheng said meaningfully.
"Sir, you are so complimentary. It's all my friends who gave me face." Feng Youlin handed over his hand and led the three of them into the building.
Facing the room was a small, clean hall, with some screens separating small rooms. Some people were already sitting inside, talking in low voices.
There is a wooden staircase at the far end that leads to the top.
Feng Youlin stood still in the small hall and said to Wu Shanshan and Wu Shanshan, "I wonder what we should call these two?"
"This is my driver, Brother Li," Wen Rensheng introduced naturally, "This is my girlfriend, Wu Shanshan."
Li Shuangyue just nodded slightly without expression. Wu Shanshan seemed a little surprised and a little excited on her face, and said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Feng."
"Well, you two are really a couple of gods, a pair of beautiful people, which is enviable." Feng Youlin praised sincerely.
"Where." Wu Shanshan replied obediently, without any arrogance before.
After the introduction, Feng Youlin said again: "Mr. Wenren, the seniors here today are a bit old-fashioned. We will entertain your two companions in the small hall. Can you please follow me to the second floor?"
"
Wen Rensheng frowned.
Wu Shanshan was the first to say: "Wenren, you and Mr. Feng go upstairs, Brother Li and I can just sit down below."
Only then did Wen Rensheng come to his senses.
It turns out that in previous lives, it was normal for men to bring their female companions to banquets. For example, it was part of the etiquette for a man to bring his family to a high-level company banquet.
But this world is different, precisely because it has not experienced ups and downs, and when avoiding many tragedies, there are advantages and disadvantages, and many dross has not been washed away.
Many old people still have old ideas deep in their bones, and the concept of hierarchy has never disappeared, and has even become more rigid due to the mixing of alien species.
He looked at Feng Youlin seriously and suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"Mr. Wenren, what does this mean?" Feng Youlin was a little surprised.
"I mean, the latest syllabus for the judges' exam. We have finished the meeting now. Give me the syllabus. I will go back to prepare for the exam now. After all, time is precious," Wen Rensheng said seriously, "The sages said that an inch of time
An inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time."
Li Shuangyue was not surprised and remained indifferent, but Wu Shanshan's expression changed and her eyes were complicated.
"Haha, You Lin, please let the three of you go upstairs together. I have said before that Mr. Wen Ren is a young man. Most young people like the relaxed and comfortable Western fashion, but do not like the old-fashioned Eastern rules." A very broad-minded person.
The laughter came down from the second floor.
"Okay, Mr. Xu," Feng Youlin smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Follow me, you three."
Wen Rensheng nodded and then followed.
It’s not that he can’t do as the Romans do, nor does he have any so-called ambition to change the customs of the world and promote equality.
Just because he could see just now that Feng Youlin was respectful and polite on the surface, but in essence he still wanted to arrange for him so that he could follow the other person's wishes unknowingly. This was a way to influence people's hearts.
Everyone is an expert in the mysterious field. They can take care of the old guys' thoughts, so why not take care of their own thoughts?
Before he came, he made it clear that he wanted to bring someone with him, but the other party didn't tell him sooner or later, and only did it at the door. This was a test to see if he was a person who could easily be manipulated by the environment and others.
Of course he can't follow the crowd, he is a man who wants to maintain a sense of mystery... If he is so easily influenced by others, wouldn't it be obvious to others?
After a few people arrived on the second floor, there were several round tables, and several people were already sitting on one round table.
A man over fifty came to greet him personally, and those people also stood up.
This man's face is a little loose, his eyes are bright, and his hair is neatly styled. It seems that he is the so-called Mr. Xu.
"Mr. Wenren, I am Xu Qingshu, the president of Wuse Group. I have admired your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you are indeed a young and talented person who is intimidating." Xu Qingshu extended his hand with a friendly look on his face.
Wen Rensheng shook hands with the other party and said calmly: "A little fame is nothing, it is just a foil to my peers."
Xu Qingshu was stunned. This statement seemed to make sense... and it was also consistent with some of the rumors he had heard. But is it really okay to say this?
He had no choice but to forcefully answer: "Sir, please sit with me, and your two companions can be placed at the table over there."
"Okay, guests are welcome to do as they please." Wen Rensheng said without comment.
Feng Youlin felt resentful in his heart. If that was true, why didn't you listen to him just now?
But he didn't say anything, he just apologized, arranged for Li Shuangyue and the others, and then went down to greet the guests.
Wen Rensheng followed Xu Qingshu through several tables and came to a round table by the window. It was empty and had a good view, making it the best seat.
Xu Qingshu accompanied Wen Rensheng and talked casually.
Wen Rensheng responded casually, occasionally looking around, and noticed the table where several people were already sitting.
The few people sitting there, aged between thirty and forty, seemed to be some of the shopping mall elites. Their faces were a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything, they just looked down at their phones occasionally.
Wen Rensheng's eyesight is now extremely strong. We are less than ten meters apart, and he can clearly see every texture on the wooden table opposite.
Those people seemed to be talking on their mobile phones, and the content was naturally noticed by him.
"That man is really crazy. Mr. Xu is so polite, but he is so busy."
"I can't help it. I am a xenogeneic expert. He is young and promising. He is more valuable than an academician of the Academy of Sciences. Academicians only have a lot of knowledge, but they have all kinds of mysterious powers. Do you think Mr. Xu can't support me?"
"Isn't it true? Every year, doesn't the group allocate a large amount of consulting funds to support those few old experts who are struggling to survive? What value can they create? I think they are just eating for free, and they are not as good as the most useless employees under me."
"Hmph, I think there shouldn't be such things as alien species. It makes people too unequal."
"Yes, we people are rich and powerful, but we don't have the resources, so we can only humble ourselves in front of these people."
"That's right, some people are born with this thing, and some people don't have it no matter what they do; unlike money, everyone can earn it as long as they work hard, be diligent and frugal, and money is the most equal."
"Stop it, it's not polite to play with your phone in front of Mr. Xu."
After Wen Rensheng saw these contents, he remained calm.
The dialogue between these people seems reasonable. If he had not experienced a previous life, he would really believe it.
These people only start from their own standpoint and feel that since they don't have such a thing, it's best for everyone not to have it.
However, the history of his previous life told him that these people were just too full.
