My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 738: Chen’s dinner, the old man under the mask!
Chapter 741 Chen's dinner, the old man under the mask!
"Brother Su, we have completed the last procedure, but it may take some time to get an interview with Mayor Chen. This is very difficult!"
Standing in front of Su Mo, Sun Quan covered his hands with seals, only to put down the last blank permit.
In the afternoon, the entire transaction license procedure was carried out very smoothly to the last item under the opening of the trading point and human favor.
But at this point, everyone can't help but continue.
According to the current management method of Tianyuan Territory, the processing of each certificate and the handling of affairs will be divided into five levels from one to five.
Among them, Levels 4 to 5 can be urgently processed, and they can be interviewed by the mayor within two days at the latest.
But once you reach the third level, you won't have this kind of treatment. You have to wait until the mayor has time before issuing an interview notice.
Coincidentally, the important level of the trading license happens to be level three, and it has not been raised to the category of urgent matters.
"What, you submitted the application?"
"Submitted, but Mayor Chen didn't have it at all." Sun Quan shook his head, just about to continue.
Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door outside the laboratory.
After getting the answer, it was Zhang Da who walked in from the outside with an excited face, his forehead was full of sweat.
"There is news, tonight is the Chen family's dinner, and we have also received an invitation from Ziliangfang"
"Say yes. It is to commend companies that performed well during the summer harvest. A total of twelve companies have been invited, and we are among them in Zizai Liangfang"
"It's just right, bring this trading license with you, and let Mayor Chen deal with it on the spot, so you don't have to worry about it later!"
Take out a well-preserved gift certificate from his pocket, and put it carefully on the table when Zhang Da spit.
At this moment, the way he looked at Su Mo had completely changed, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.
There are, but they are extremely cute.
After all, not everyone can get an interview with Mayor Chen. Zizai Liangfang has this day, which is entirely due to the young man in front of him.
"Dinner?"
Hearing these two words, Su Mo finally put down the tools in his hand, took off the dustproof gloves, and picked up the gift certificate.
Gift certificates are not made of paper, but a wooden product with a strong sense of touch.
The overall color is bright red, and there are huge four characters on the front, which correspond to Chen's dinner, and some unknown flowers are engraved with flying dragons and phoenixes.
Turn to the back, there are some specific details of the invitation meeting, and the recipients.
"Zizai Liangfang, Su Youzong?"
"Is this issued to me?"
Seeing the bright big characters in the lower right corner, Su Mo smiled, and put down the gift certificate again.
"How is the hero's preparation?"
Sun Quan: "It is proceeding in an orderly manner. We have selected more than 20 migrant workers with skilled occupational skills, and we have temporarily given them a taste of the sweetness through some small means. The information is still being verified for the second time. Once verified, I will send it over immediately”
"Very good!" Su Mo nodded in satisfaction: "I'll leave this to you. As for the trading license, don't worry, I'll go to the meeting alone tonight!"
"Going to the meeting alone?" Seeing that Su Mo had stood up, Zhang Da's head shook like a rattle: "Boss, it is written in the dinner party that each guest must be accompanied by at least two people!"
"Is there still such a rule?" Su Mo frowned, picked up the gift certificate again, and carefully read the invitation details at the back.
Sure enough, the penultimate article is the idea of which ghost came up with it, but it is really stipulated in this way.
Male participants must bring one or more female dance partners, and the maximum number of participants shall not exceed ten.
Female participants can choose to bring women or men of the same age, and the number is also not more than ten.
Maybe for the sake of the atmosphere of the dinner party, I went to the meeting alone, but was denied from the beginning.
"Okay, then let Zhang Min follow me, it happens that she is also the steward of our Liangfang"
"Okay, I'll arrange it now!" After getting a very satisfactory answer, Zhang Da nodded quickly and strode away from the laboratory for fear that Su Mo would go back on appointing another candidate.
Seeing his appearance, Sun Quan couldn't help but spit after the door was closed again.
"Brother Su, this old man really wants to send his daughter here."
"He must be planning to get Zhang Min close to us, and to catch us as a threat"
"It's okay, I know it!"
Patting Sun Quan on the shoulder, seeing the latter hesitant to speak, Su Mo laughed loudly and interrupted the topic directly.
Compared with Chen Shen who has been in the wasteland for half a year, supporting the government affairs management of Tianyuan Territory.
Zhang Min's level of scheming is like a novice who has just entered the game, and it is not worth his effort at all.
"Tonight, it will be a tough battle."
I know that when dealing with the current Chen Shen, I can no longer just pass it along vaguely like I dealt with Feng Long and those two idiots.
Sumo had already prepared several sets of arguments in his heart, and by the way, he had thought of several emergency plans for different situations.
At the same time, for this talent who he subdued and cultivated by himself.
Under this communication spanning eight years of time and space, Su Mo was also somewhat excited.
“The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago, or now”
"Tonight, let me see for myself what kind of fruit the tree I planted will bear eight years later!"
Once the thought was settled, Su Mo stopped thinking about it.
After sorting all the small parts on the desktop into the toolbox, he also intends to "prepare and prepare".
Give yourself, the great mayor, an unexpected surprise!
is night.
Hope that Flying Eagle Hotel, the largest external hotel in the city, will be the only protagonist in the city tonight.
Outside this magnificent hotel, dotted with lights of various colors, whose style is incompatible with the wasteland of the last days.
From seven o'clock, dozens of hundreds of guards were fully armed, and martial law was imposed on the three surrounding streets.
In the past, it might have been a little too much for the Chen family to have such a gathering every year after the summer harvest.
But this year is different, as long as the permanent residents of Hope City can clearly find that there are indeed many new faces in the city recently.
There are special mercenaries who are full of flesh, and they are easy to mess with at a glance.
There is a tall foreigner with an indifferent face and a very exotic style.
There are also various wild hunters who are short in stature and wear exclusive adventure costumes only for intelligence.
These people not only wandered around in every corner of the city during the day, but also tried their best to find out all kinds of things that happened in Tianyuan Territory recently.
At night, you can occasionally see them running vigorously in the city to avoid the search of the guards after the curfew.
In order to prevent these people from making trouble.
At present, the Chen family is making such a fight, and ordinary people can understand it.
It's half past seven.
In front of the hotel building began to have energy vehicles coming one after another, and people of different ages and looks from among them.
At the beginning, mostly young people.
Most of the men who got off the bus were in suits and leather shoes, while the women wore extravagant evening gowns.
Meeted in the middle, they talked skillfully together, stepped on the red carpet laid by the hotel like a fashion show, and walked confidently into the hotel.
Going backwards, the middle-aged people will be the main force.
Compared to the former, these middle-aged people are much more low-key. Men basically wear uniforms with collars down, while women wear low-key dresses.
And these people are the result of the Chen family spreading branches and leaves in the territory over the years!
"to marry, to absorb, to associate, to descend"
“The Chen family only had a dozen members at the beginning, but over the years it has grown to more than three hundred people, and the number is increasing.”
"Because of the clear center and strong cohesion of the main body, they can basically be seen in the government affairs, economy, and management of the entire territory"
"Including the manager of our Sangtian Town, who is also a member of the Chen family"
Sitting in the passenger seat of the capable car, Zhang Min pinched the neckline uncomfortably while introducing.
Today, she is wearing a light blue evening dress, with a pretty face, she looks delicate and charming.
With Su Mo who is wearing a black suit beside him, he is completely worthy of being a scholar and a beautiful woman.
But for some reason, the closer he got to the Flying Eagle Hotel, the more restless Zhang Min became.
There is a kind of "underground love affair", a sense of embarrassment that is about to be forcibly exposed.
"Oh? The manager of our Sangtian Town is from the Chen family?"
“I never knew this”
opened the car window, handed over the invitation card and accepted the inspection, Su Mo rested his left hand on the car window and continued to drive inside.
This Flying Eagle Hotel, he has been in Tianyuan Territory for so long, but he only heard its name, but never saw its appearance.
Seeing it now, it is really shocking.
The eight-story Flying Eagle Hotel is dotted with pale yellow spotlights on the facade of the whole building, densely packed with no less than 300 lights.
The translucent upper dome exudes a faint glow, which directly reflects the sky and diffuses it.
From left to right, the diameter of this hotel alone exceeds 500 meters, and its overall area is even more than a hundred acres in size.
If it is a luxurious shelter built with the exclusive materials below it.
Usually, this place can be treated as a hotel.
In wartime, it can even become a second command post and become an unbreakable bunker.
"Hello VIP, our party is held on the third floor, this is your ID card, please take it with you"
"We will help you park your car. It is in the parking lot of the hotel. You can take it with your ID card at any time"
Different from the "bumps" in Sangtian Town, the doorman in charge of reception at Flying Eagle Hotel recognized Sumo's fifth-generation energy car at a glance.
In an instant, his attitude was even a bit better than when he received the juniors of the Chen family.
"Troublesome!"
Stepping out of the car, Su Mo straightened his tie confidently, and an inexplicable aura appeared on his otherwise unhandsome face.
At this time, in Zhang Min's eyes.
She even had an illusion, as if the Chen family was not the main character tonight, but the man in front of her was.
“Let’s go”
Patting the folds of the clothes on his body naturally, Su Mo stretched out his hand slightly, leaving room for his arms to be held.
The latter's face froze, but in the end he followed the example of other people who came over and put his arm on it stiffly.
Following the red carpet, the two entered today's main venue after a while.
The first floor of the Flying Eagle Hotel has been temporarily turned into a security inspection floor tonight.
With storage space available, Su Mo originally thought that the security was just a formality and could not play a substantive role.
But miraculously, after walking through the three detection gates arranged in a row.
There is a prompt from the game panel.
[Record]: It is detected that the player "Sumo" has entered a special independent space, and your storage space function will be temporarily blocked
[Record]: This ban is not mandatory, when the danger detection around you is higher than "3", the ban will be automatically lifted
"Is there such a method?"
Stepping on the elevator to the third floor, Su Mo looked as usual, but he was rather curious.
He doesn't know what the degree of danger is.
This method can be used, although it cannot be used as a weapon, to forcibly close the opponent's storage space.
But within the scope of the territory, it can play an excellent role in some occasions.
It's like a prisoner in a prison. If the other party has storage space, it will be difficult to manage.
But if the storage space is closed, the difficulty will undoubtedly be much smaller.
There are also important occasions like this, which can also ensure that no one with ulterior motives will lurk in and protect the safety of everyone present.
Enter the main banquet hall on the third floor from the elevator.
The brightly lit interior has already been filled with tables, and all kinds of rare fruits and delicacies are placed on the tables.
The boy carrying the wine table walked inside, and there were one or two rows of half-glasses of red wine on it, bringing out bursts of fragrant and fruity flavors.
Looking at the people who had already arrived in the venue, Su Mo was a little surprised.
There are no less than a hundred people in this densely packed place, but there is not a single person he is familiar with, and there are strange faces everywhere.
"These people don't belong to the Chen family, do they?" Su Mo tilted his head and asked Zhang Min in a low voice.
"No, there are people from Longhang Chamber of Commerce over there, and people from Daxing Agriculture over there." He pointed to three or four groups in a row. Zhang Min is not unfamiliar with these merchants at all.
"The ones coming now are all the branches of the Chen family in the outer villages and towns, and the main family will come after 8:30"
"Is that so?"
Knowing the situation, Su Mo nodded, and casually led Zhang Min to sit on a table outside.
The people from the chambers of commerce brought ten people to form a big table according to the limit of the invitation, and they were mingling with the people from the Chen family. It was very lively.
Only him and Zhang Min were at the same table, which was rather strange.
However, the master didn't care if he didn't come to Somo, he just ate the food in the fruit plate to pass the time, and didn't care at all about the glances cast by others from time to time.
It was not until 8:30, and as people began to walk in from the entrance of the hall, Su Mo raised his head and looked over.
With this look, his eyes suddenly focused.
The first person from the head of the Chen family to enter the arena was someone he couldn't be more familiar with.
Chen Kai, one of the managers of Hope Village before he left.
"He is the mayor of our Sangtian Town," Zhang Min whispered beside him.
"Huh? Chen Kai is the mayor?" The first time he noticed that Chen Kai came in, he looked at him vaguely. Su Mo was slightly surprised, and also looked up and down.
Eight years later, Chen Kai was over 30 years old. The frequent disasters and hard work in the wasteland had added a few obvious wrinkles to his face, making him look quite vicissitudes.
At the same time, on his neck, Su Mo saw a long scar stretching to the back of his head.
Added a ferocity to his personality.
Looking at each other for a while, Chen Kai looked away with a slightly unnatural expression, and strode into the hall.
Behind him, more and more people walked in, and Su Mo also saw the "acquaintances" he was waiting for one by one.
Chen Yi, Chen Yun, Chen Hui, Chen Chao.
Before he left, he asked Pei Shao to count the members of the Chen family, and there were seventeen people in total.
At this time, when the last person approached, except for Chen Shen, who hadn't seen it yet.
Su Mo was astonished to find that these eight years had passed, except for the large and small scars on their bodies, the members of the Chen family were all alive.
"This is a bit... unexpected!"
Picking up the Coke in the glass, Su Mo drank it down in one gulp, moistening his slightly burning throat.
Of the seventeen people who came in, almost everyone would cast their eyes on him indistinctly, obviously they had received the news long ago.
Not sure what card the opponent will play, Sumo can only continue to sit at the table, waiting patiently for the banquet to start.
Just
"Mr. Su Youzong, right? I've admired you for a long time. I've been busy with business and haven't been able to meet you. This is the first time we've met, right?"
Turning his head, Chen Kai walked over with a goblet at some point.
His eyes were deep and pointed.
"It's the first time we met." Su Mo nodded regretfully: "The mayor has a lot of things to do every day, worrying about the lives of tens of thousands of people in the town, and also responsible for economic management, I understand!"
"It's good to understand. Recently, the territory is not peaceful, and disasters are frequent. Fortunately, Zizai Liangfang gave our Sangtian mayor face, which made me look up in the family." Chen Kai laughed. , raised the cup: "I toast you!"
"Flattered, flattered" panickedly picked up the Coke cup, after the two collided, Su Mo drank it down again.
In the eyes of others, his cautious appearance perfectly matches his identity from the town of Liangfang.
But in Chen Kai's eyes, it made him frown slightly.
Drinking the wine in the glass, he looked at Sumo.
"Zizai Liangfang is developing well, and Mr. Su is also developing steadily and well. This is because talents have come to our territory."
"Come on, let me toast you again, and celebrate Mr. Su's coronation in advance"
Brought another glass from the waiter's wine table, Chen Kai drank it down without even touching it this time.
With this expression, Su Mo couldn't help squinting his eyes.
He originally thought that the probing would have to wait until the Chen trial, but he didn't expect Chen Kai to be the vanguard, and came first.
Fortunately, before Su Mo could continue to speak, there was a commotion in front of the stage, interrupting the confrontation between the two for the time being.
"The mayor is here!"
The commotion lasted for a while, and someone shouted.
The audience suddenly fell silent, and those who sat down also stood up.
Blocking the glare of the light with his hands, Su Mo followed everyone else and cast their gazes over.
On the stage ~IndoMTL.com~ There are quite a crowd at this time.
But the scholarly man in a light black robe who stepped out from behind became the only focus of the crowd.
Looking up, Su Mo was slightly startled.
It is completely different from the slightly thinner Chen Shen he imagined!
This should be Chen Shen's man. His missing limbs are not the flesh and blood of a normal person, but all replaced with prosthetic limbs made of light silver alloy, full of sense of technology.
At the same time, his body is also extremely strong, at least fifteen centimeters taller than before, and he has jumped from a skinny boy of 175 to a 190 warrior with slightly protruding muscles all over his body, exuding strong hormones .
On his face, Su Mo saw a slightly reflective pale silver mask covering all his expressions and flesh and blood.
Even the skin next to him was covered, making it impossible to see what state he was in right now.
"Isn't it? The Chen trial is he asking for it?"
"Like Sun Bahu and follow the personal armed route?"
