Having decided to attend the seminar, Feng Yi is already making all preparations. When the formalities are completed, according to his plan, he will go to the venue of the meeting in advance. There is no need to urgently organize reports, so he has plenty of time to become familiar with this kind of meeting activities.
.
The materials provided by the Joint Security Bureau are only part of it. It’s not that the Joint Security Bureau is unwilling to provide more, but there will be many changes before the meeting, including those who have prepared reports and lectures. There may be some changes in the content during this period.
Changes occur, so the data is not shown in detail.
In addition, there are a small number of people who submit materials directly to the organizer without going through the hands of the Joint Insurance Bureau, so the information provided by the Joint Insurance Bureau is definitely not comprehensive enough.
Feng Yi only attended the conference with a learning attitude. There were many scholars and researchers working on very interesting projects.
Before departure, Feng Yi contacted a senior who had rich experience in participating in conferences.
"Hey Steve, are you still working there?"
Feng Yi looked at the background of the video call and could see that Steve was still at the construction site.
The main body of the building over there is almost completed. In terms of construction, many details are supervised by Steve himself. It's not impossible to hire people, but Steve doesn't trust others, and Steve is involved in everything from the design drawings to the purchase of equipment.
Steve attaches great importance to this project, and he also hopes that many construction links can be completed at once. If the construction goes well and the progress is accelerated, he can move his "little babies" here next year!
Steve has been in a bit of a mood lately, and when he connected to the video call, he still had a smile on his face.
"I'll stay here for a while longer today. Some projects have been rushed recently, so I have to keep an eye on them myself," Steve said.
Judging from that expression, the recent construction work must have gone smoothly.
Thinking of something, Steve said again: "By the way, your collection has given me a lot of inspiration. I've been studying it these days. I've made a design first, and I'll show it to you!"
Feng Yi:???
What inspiration? What design drawing?
Recalling the conversation he had with Steve on the day the collection opened, Feng Yi finally remembered some not-so-good content.
For example, Steve’s alternative aesthetic.
Feng Yi suddenly lost his composure.
Wait! I don’t want to see it!
There was no time to refuse. On the other side of the video, Steve was very excited. He quickly took a tablet, pulled up the picture, and faced the camera.
"look!"
This snake lover is true to his word, and when it comes to his favorite fields, his actions are extremely efficient——
In the picture, he really put his own head on a snake! It's equivalent to a whole snake. He replaced his own head with a snake's head. It just looks more natural after image processing.
but!
This proportion and this combination are still weird no matter how you look at them!
Feng Yi didn't know how to complain.
Compared to Feng Yi's own "art style", Steve is more in line with the title of "strange behavioral species" among netizens, right?!
If nothing else, this kind of image has a greater spiritual impact on people!
Not avoiding your eyes is the greatest respect!
Feng Yi probably felt how the visitors felt when they saw his statue when the collection hall opened.
After calming down, Feng Yi smiled: "It suits your preferences very well." "Hahaha, I think it suits me very well too!" Steve laughed and shared the creation process of the picture with Feng Yi, as well as the subsequent production matters.
Feng Yi listened cooperatively. After a while, he brought the topic back and asked about the seminar.
"Oh, that activity. The Joint Security Bureau also asked me, but I refused. I was busy here and didn't have time to participate. They asked you?" Steve asked.
"Well, it was said that the originally scheduled quota had changed, so they came to see me." Feng Yi said.
Steve thought for a while and said: "They conduct strict internal investigations. I know that a lot of people are involved, and many activities have been temporarily replaced.
"They give you the quota. Firstly, it gives young people more opportunities to participate in such conferences and see more research results and insights of experts and scholars in related fields around the world. Secondly, you are more likely to accept bribes than others.
Low, after all, you have money. Of course, there are more or less factors from the Ancestral Factory. As far as I know, several new drugs developed by the Ancestral Factory have helped the Federal Insurance Bureau a lot."
This statement is also what Feng Yi thought.
Steve continued: "Actually, you don't have to think too much. Anyway, now that the name has been assigned, you can go over and have a look, experience it, and treat it as a publicly funded study tour... Are you traveling with a group or are you traveling freely?"
"Move freely." Feng Yi said.
"Okay. I've been like this before," Steve said.
If you travel with a group, air tickets and accommodation will be reimbursed, and part of the meal expenses will also be reimbursed.
But free movement is equivalent to paying for it at your own expense. Steve has his own action plan when participating in such activities, so he usually does not join a group.
Steve didn’t know if Feng Yi had his own plan of action, but he knew that Feng Yi had his own or a private jet that could be allocated. He must have other requirements for accommodation. With Feng Yi’s financial conditions, he really didn’t need to squeeze in the public-funded quota.
.
Knowing that Feng Yi had a lot of free time, Steve actively suggested: "The location of this event is very good. If you feel bored, you can take the time to fly to the rainforest area of the neighboring country and have a beautiful encounter! There are many things there.
Lots of little cuties! Of course there are big cuties too!”
It goes without saying what the corresponding creatures are for "beautiful encounter", "little cutie" and "big cutie" in Steve's words.
Feng Yi nodded.
He wasn't interested in the cute things Steve mentioned, but he could feel the rainforest environment and relax.
Steve thought that Feng Yi might be nervous when participating in such an event for the first time, and said:
"This kind of seminar is just like a large salon. If it doesn't involve some controversial topics, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Go and listen to powerful researchers in various fields share their research results and ideas.
"Everyone has their own opinions. There are many academic schools of thought. Do you know about the schools of thought? There were hundreds of schools of thought in ancient times..." Steve paused.
"A hundred schools of thought?" Feng Yi asked.
"Yes, it's that kind of thing, with different cognitions and academic beliefs. Not to mention the experts, there is not only one kind of thought within the Joint Security Bureau. So, when participating in such activities, the communication is to communicate more and listen more
Listen to other people's ideas, and then just stick to yourself. Don't be led astray by others, and don't be brainwashed."
"Yeah." Feng Yi nodded.
Steve is still worried. He doesn’t know if Feng Yi understands what he means. He uses himself as an example:
"Just like me, I think snakes are the most beautiful and magical animals in the world! If someone tells me that this creature is scary and ugly, I respect other people's opinions, but I will never be led astray. Although every time in such meetings
, there are many people who oppose my report.”
Thinking of something, Steve asked: "What is the purpose of the report you prepared?"
"I won't make a report." Feng Yi said.
Feng Yi himself is in a special situation. He has too many unreasonable things. Therefore, if he wants to compile a report, he has to make it reasonable, which is much more difficult!
When he learned that Feng Yi would not make a report, Steve did not express any opinion, but said: "Then this trip will be easier for you. Are there any other requirements from the Federal Security Bureau?"
Feng Yi thought for a while and said, "They asked me to be more restrained."
Steve smiled and said nonchalantly: "They were always like that, but they are much better now. The first group of people were very rigid. I also worked with them back then, and it was not very pleasant. They always asked me to restrain myself and said that I acted too radically. Tsk.
, they don’t understand that love cannot be restrained!”
As he spoke, Steve looked at Feng Yi: "They are them. You are different. You are the same as me. I can tell by looking at your collection that you understand me!" Feng Yi: "..."
I do not understand!
Feng Yi looked at the picture of a human head and a snake body that Steve couldn't put down and admired endlessly.
I really don’t understand!
To be honest, our aesthetics are really not on the same line!
This chat can't continue!
After talking to Steve, Feng Yi asked several other experts who had experienced this kind of experience to talk about the key points to pay attention to in this kind of meeting from an expert's perspective.
Get ready, Feng Yi sets off.
The plane I bought has not yet been delivered, so I can still only use the steward’s plane.
The housekeeper did not accompany him, and Feng Yi only brought Xiao Jia and Xiao Ding to the meeting this time.
Xiao Bing, as a chef, also follows the plane, but after arriving at the destination, he will return with the crew.
The plane left the country and arrived at its destination after more than three hours of sailing.
The procedures were all completed in advance, and Xiao Jia also booked a car before departure. They would use this car to travel during the seminar.
Take a car from the airport to the hotel.
The hotel you booked is not far from the seminar venue, and you can get there quickly on foot.
After taking a short rest in the hotel room, after finishing the meal, and looking through the information, Feng Yi was wearing a more casual outfit and sunglasses. He first went to the venue to look around and familiarize himself with the venue.
This country is not large, but its finance and shipping are very developed, making it a very prosperous place.
The geographical location makes it very hot outside even in winter.
If you are outdoors, with today's high temperature of nearly 30 degrees, you can wear short sleeves. But if you stay indoors for a long time, you have to wear long sleeves or a jacket. The air conditioners in some places run almost non-stop, and the temperature in some spaces is adjusted relatively low.
Low. A bus just passed by on the road, and Feng Yi saw a passenger wearing a sweater.
Come to the venue.
There are still a few days until the conference is held, but the flow of people at the venue is still very high.
The meeting they attended was not scheduled for time, but there were other activities held here today.
Among the certificates given by the Joint Security Bureau before coming here, there is a certificate that is a pass for this venue. Only with this pass, you cannot enter some conference rooms in the venue, but most public areas are unrestricted.
After showing his ID and entering the venue, Feng Yi first took a look at the layout of the venue. Stepping into the venue, he felt the air-conditioning blowing towards his face.
The staff here all wear suits, shirts, jackets and ties. It can get crazy hot outdoors, but indoors in an air-conditioned environment it's just fine.
The event held in the venue today was not of a business nature, and it was relatively young and free-spirited. There was no dress code for the participants, so they could wear whatever they wanted.
Some wear short-sleeves, some wear sweaters, some are restrained and some are flamboyant. No matter what they wear, no matter what their skin color is, they all carry a youthful energy and enthusiasm, and are beautiful and handsome. Many of them speak Chinese.
Feng Yi is not very prominent here. And since he is not in the country, not many people should know him.
Taking off his sunglasses and hanging them on his collar, Feng Yi unfolded a layout diagram in his hand, corresponding to the information of the seminar. Feng Yi wanted to see where the exhibition areas for the activities he was interested in would be arranged. When the seminar was held, he might not have
I have time to search one by one. Anyway, I have time now, so I will make a itinerary first. After walking and walking, I came to a place where Feng Yi was watching. Someone approached and a voice asked: "Hello, are you Feng Yi?"
"?" It was in Chinese, but with an accent.
Feng Yi looked over.
Showing the front, the other party confirmed his identity, with a surprised look on his face, and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Feng..."
Suddenly stuck.
What's my name?
"Feng Cheng?" Feng Yi asked.
"Oh yes! You know me?!" Feng Cheng was surprised.
He recognized Feng Yi just now and was about to announce his family name. However, he thought that his English name could not express the sense of closeness, so he decided to give his Chinese name. After all, everyone has the surname Feng. But he suddenly forgot about the introduction just now.
There is no way, his Chinese name is used too little, he came to this country to participate in activities, and he did not expect to meet Feng Yi here, so
Totally unprepared!
Feng Cheng didn't remember his Chinese name, but Feng Yi had some impression of him.
Feng Yi had a piece of information in the hands of the clan members who went to Yangcheng to attend the ancestral ceremony. Feng Yi had an impression of many members of the clan. Among the young people, Feng Cheng's attitude at that time had always been very perfunctory and he was unwilling to talk to anyone more.
Say a few words.
Feng Cheng was very excited at this time.
When he went to Yangcheng to attend the ancestral ceremony on behalf of his father, he was in a fishing state the whole time. His mind was focused on the ancestor factory. All he could think about was going on a "pilgrimage". As for the people of the Feng family, he didn't care.
Why did I pay attention? I watched the whole ceremony of the ancestral hall with the mentality of watching a drama.
He didn't know how much impression Feng Yi had on him. Anyway, he had no impression of Feng Yi before.
He originally thought that the people he met in that ancestral hall ceremony were just ordinary grains of sand blowing in the wind in his life, but he didn't expect that there was a sandstorm hidden inside...
No, it cannot be described as a sandstorm.
Feng Yi has the identity of a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory!
When he learned the news, Feng Cheng was completely stunned. He regretted it, of course he regretted it.
When I went to Yangcheng to attend that ancestral hall ceremony, what a great opportunity to get acquainted, but I missed it!
Alas, if I had established a relationship with Feng Yi back then, I might have been able to get limited edition products from the Ancestor Factory now!
I failed to seize the opportunity last time, but I finally met it this time!
Feng Yi didn't want to talk much, and Feng Cheng also had matters to deal with.
After adding the contact information, Feng Cheng left with satisfaction.
Feng Cheng also participated in the seminar that Feng Yi attended. Therefore, from Feng Cheng's perspective, he still had the opportunity to communicate more with the shareholder of the ancestor factory during the meeting. After all, the country here is not large and the people attending the meeting could not run away easily.
No matter how far it is, the range of action is only so large.
