Chapter 228 From a Powerful Family's Cannon Fodder to a Scientific Research Giant (25)

Bai remained unmoved, continuing to stare intently at his phone screen, muttering to himself.

"You might not believe it, but I've been watching her live stream for the past few days. Even though I can't see her face, I'm completely captivated by her. She has a special charm that has captured my heart!"

"Old Chen, tell me, isn't this what it feels like to be in love?"

Chen Zetian kicked him, showing him no mercy whatsoever.

"You fucking feel like you're in unrequited love! You said something similar when you had a crush on Ke Ke before, but you became quiet after Xu Mu beat you up. I think you deserve a beating now."

The people around him shook their heads frantically, their expressions serious.

"No, no, no, this is different from how I felt about Keke before. My feelings for Keke were purely out of affection for my little sister. I was young and didn't understand back then."

But I can't help but feel a flutter in my heart for Rabbit; it's the kind of impulse that makes me want to tear my heart out and show it to her!

You don't understand, I'm very innocent. The reason I haven't been in a relationship all these years must be because I'm waiting for her.

Chen Zetian no longer wanted to look at him directly.

At this time, another member of the group of four arrived, and the three of them sat together and watched the live broadcast for a while. Not long after, Xu Mu also came upstairs with beer.

The people around him rushed over as soon as they saw him, staring at him expectantly.

"How's it going? How's it going? Did you get the inner circle tickets?! Tell me, did you get them?!"

Xu Mu kicked him away.

"Call me 'Dad'."

Surrounded by white: "Father."

"My good son, Daddy got it."

Surrounded by white: "Dad!!!"

Just then, Mr. Zhou passed by with a teacup in his hand. He glanced at the closed door with a complicated expression, sighed, and left.

Everyone crowded around to admire the ticket in Xu Mu's hand.

"Holy crap, you actually got it? I heard these things are selling like crazy! That lunatic Wei Bai spent over a million and got a fake ticket! Is yours guaranteed authentic?"

Xu Mu sneered.

"Do you think I'm some kind of idiot like Bai? This ticket was obtained by my dad. It was given to me by a big shot so I could broaden my horizons and get to know some industry bigwigs."

I heard that all the bigwigs in the country will be attending the conference to hear Rabbit's speech, so this ticket is basically a pass-through; you not only need money, but also connections.

The surrounding Bai were green with envy, and they clung to Xu Mu's leg, begging for his life.

"Brother, please, brother, take me in! Aren't you allowed to bring a female companion to these kinds of banquets and seminars? Take me with you! Take me with you!"

Xu Mu looked at him intently and patted him on the shoulder.

"Are you out of your mind? Girlfriend, shall I take you?"

"So what? I can wear women's clothes."

"Get out of here, I'm planning to take Coco with me, she's very interested in these kinds of seminars."

The people around him were all incredulous, their faces blank with disbelief.

"What am I supposed to do?! You brought the tickets just to tell me you're not taking me in with you?"

"Calm down. If I told you there's a way, then there must be a way."

Lin Qin, he also has tickets, and he's currently lacking a female companion.

"Brother Qin? He's not bringing his wife, so why would he bring me?"

If you get married and don't bring your wife along, wouldn't people laugh at you?

Xu Mu gave a mocking smile.

"Come on, he's currently looking for a lawyer to prepare for a divorce. How could he possibly bring that woman to such an important seminar? You should contact him right now, before he finds another woman."

Bai hurriedly contacted Lin Qin, using all his charm and flattery, and even promised him many benefits before finally persuading Lin Qin to take him along.

After hanging up the phone, Bai jumped around excitedly, while the other three brothers looked at him with disdain and whispered among themselves.

"This kid's bewitched."

"Let him keep dreaming. Even if he saw it with his own eyes, what could he possibly do? What possibility could there be between them?"

Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Ha... Wei Bai has made a mistake in his first love this time. She is now a key protected person in the country. If it weren't for this seminar, it would be harder than climbing to heaven to see her."

"Didn't she just do a live stream? The sea spider she was selling was pretty interesting. I'd like to buy one to play with too."

Chen Zetian tried to stop him.

"Forget it, don't waste your time. We won't be able to get them. I spent over a million and still couldn't get a spot. I guess we won't be able to buy them until the next large-scale research and production."

Xu Mu raised an eyebrow.

"I'll be able to meet Teacher Rabbit in person at this seminar. I'll ask you if I can use a special channel to buy an improved version of the sea spider."

"There's an improved version too?!"

"Of course. I heard that an improved version of the sea spider will be released at this seminar, and we can bid on it. So that's the main reason why we businessmen are going. Someone has to be willing to spend a fortune in that kind of event, right?"

This past Saturday and weekend, the seminar was held on a cruise ship in the city's harbor. Because all the attendees were industry leaders, the meeting was held in secrecy. Everyone boarding the ship had to undergo three rounds of checks before being allowed in, after their identities and safety were confirmed.

Lin Qin was urged by those around him to arrive at the harbor early. Because they arrived too early and it was not yet time to enter, the two of them could only sit in the car and wait.

Lin Qin was thoroughly annoyed, and finally sat down with a serious expression, looking at the documents, ignoring everything that was said around him.

"Brother Qin, don't ignore me. I'll definitely support my goddess's career. If I don't have enough money during the auction, lend me some."

"..."

"Please, Brother Qin, my dad only gave me two million. Consider the extra a loan. I'll pay you back as soon as I have the money."

"Shut up, or I won't take you in right away."

Bai immediately shut up and stared longingly at the deck.

Entry time is 5:30 PM. There will be a two-hour seminar first, followed by an auction at 7:30 PM, where the latest research products from the scientists will be auctioned.

Finally, at 5:30, Bai pulled Lin Qin into the venue first. After confirming their identities at the first gate, bodyguards searched them at the second gate. At the third gate, all communication devices, cell phones, watches, earphones, and other electronic products were temporarily left outside.

After three searches, we finally got inside. In the huge lecture hall, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged. In front of the audience seats was a huge LED screen, and in front of the screen was a row of discussion seats with place cards on them.

The two found their seats using their name cards and sat down. Not long after, Xu Mu also entered the venue with his female companion, Yu Keke.

When Yu Keke saw Lin Qin, she looked a little awkward, but Xu Mu put his arm around her waist and slowly walked to his seat and sat down.
