Chapter 192 Will today's plan go smoothly? [59]
The base commander's most beloved youngest daughter's birthday party invited everyone of note from the Beijing base.
Some well-known teams of superhumans were also invited, including Anran's team.
However, each team is limited to five members attending.
There will definitely be delicious food at a birthday party, and everyone wants to go.
Chen Wang simply let them draw lots, and whoever drew the lot would go.
Then Lin Xiangheng, Maiya, Yue Tingsong, and Zhang Jingzhu were drawn.
Although Achu is also part of Anran's team, she is Su Yiyue's family member and is not included in the quota.
Although the invitation stated that formal attire was required, the members of Anran's team, including Chen Wang, all wore casual clothes.
In Maiya's words, "It's just a meal, who has the time to go out and find a formal dress!"
Su Yiyue wore a white women's suit and didn't dress up deliberately.
Achu and Su Yiyue rode together in Chen Wang's car to the base chief's house.
The base director, including his family, lives in the core A area, very close to the research institute.
It is also the largest detached villa in the entire base in terms of land area.
The base commander's residence was bustling with activity today, with a constant stream of people coming and going; all the prominent figures from the Beijing base were there.
Ah Chu and the others arrived rather late; the front yard of the villa was already full of cars.
Their car could only be parked outside the villa's gate, and then they had to walk in.
Fortunately, the weather today is neither too hot nor too cold, so it's quite comfortable.
As Achu got out of the car, Su Yiyue was on his left and Chen Wang was on his right.
Lin Xiangheng and the others walked at the back.
Watching the people coming and going at the base commander's residence, many dressed in formal attire, I couldn't help but speak.
Lin Xiangheng: "Ha! This is really lively!"
Yue Tingsong: "Today I'll get to see all the big shots in the entire base!"
Malt: "Where did they get all this fancy stuff? It looks like celebrities walking the red carpet before the apocalypse."
Indeed, those people were all adorned with jewels and wore polite smiles.
It makes one feel as if the apocalypse is just a terrible dream, and that we are still living in a peaceful and prosperous world.
Indeed, in any era, there are always people struggling to make ends meet, while others squander money with ease.
As they talked, they arrived in front of the magnificent villa.
A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came to greet them.
He clearly recognized Shen Wang and Su Yiyue, and greeted them with a smile: "Captain Shen, Dr. Su! Welcome, welcome! Please come in!"
A young man dressed as a waiter came over and led the way for Ah Chu and the others.
After passing through the entrance hall and a long corridor, you arrive at the banquet hall.
The banquet hall's floor-to-ceiling windows open onto the lawn of the villa's back garden, where there is also a fountain and swimming pool.
There were many people in the banquet hall at this time. People who knew each other greeted each other, and people who didn't know each other would get to know each other through introductions.
As soon as Achu and his group entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the guests.
Regardless of the fact that Shen Wang is a familiar face to most people, the looks and temperament of these individuals are quite striking.
"Captain Shen! Long time no see!"
"Dr. Su! I've heard so much about you! I wonder how the virus vaccine research is going lately?"
Those people quickly came over to say hello.
Although Shen Wang's face showed no extra expression, he still handled the situation with ease.
Su Yiyue seemed a bit impatient; as a researcher, she didn't like these kinds of occasions.
Seeing this, Lin Xiangheng stepped forward without making a sound and blocked Su Yiyue, smiling as he reached out to shake hands with the person who wanted to shake hands with Su Yiyue.
"Mr. Meng, it's been a long time! Do you still remember me?"
Mr. Meng paused for a moment, then laughed: "I remember, I remember, Lin... Lin..."
"Lin Xiangheng, just call me Xiao Lin."
"Hahaha! Yes, Kobayashi, how could I not remember!"
The group exchanged insincere pleasantries.
Achu met Shen Sui, who was accompanied by a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.
Judging from his appearance, he must be Shen Wang and Shen Sui's father.
Shen's father had obviously seen Shen Wang, and was clearly still angry that he didn't want to go back. He turned his head to the side with a stern face.
Shen Sui came over and greeted A Chu and Shen Wang.
Not long after, the base commander came down.
Everyone's attention was diverted.
Base commander Shu Wangyou is over sixty years old, and his hair is already somewhat gray.
He has a dignified appearance; he looks somewhat imposing when he's not smiling, but he's very approachable when he does.
Shu Yueyue wore a pink off-the-shoulder floor-length gown. Her skin was fair, her makeup was exquisite, and she wore an extravagant diamond necklace and matching diamond earrings.
Achu saw Song Jiahe standing not far away.
Song Jiahe wore a champagne-colored fishtail dress today, with long, straight black hair and light smoky makeup, giving her a cool and aloof look.
When Achu looked over, Song Jiahe was also looking at her, and their eyes met.
Ah Chu blinked, gave Song Jiahe a very friendly smile, and waved slightly at her, as if she was very happy to see her.
Song Jiahe curled her lips and smiled as well.
But there was a hint of malice and a strange expectation in that smile.
Ah Chu seemed not to understand at all.
At the beginning, Base Chief Shu Wangyou thanked the guests and then delivered a speech.
Next, it was Shu Yueyue's turn to give a speech and express her gratitude.
The banquet then officially began.
There was also a small symphony orchestra playing accompaniment.
After Shu Yueyue came down, many people went over to greet and talk to her, praising her in their conversations.
Shu Yueyue stood beside Shu Youwang, her smile appropriate.
Occasionally, when her gaze swept over Achu and Shen Wang, her chin would rise even higher, her eyes filled with arrogance.
Shu Yueyue wanted to see amazement in Chen Wang's eyes, and envy in A Chu's eyes.
As a result, Chen Wang's gaze remained fixed on A Chu, and he didn't look at her even once.
As for Achu, she was pulling Su Yiyue to the long table where cakes and desserts were displayed.
Shu Yueyue gave off a flirtatious look, which made her so angry that her eyes turned red.
Thinking about today's plans, she told Shu Youwang and then went to find Song Jiahe.
"Will there be any problems with today's plan?" Shu Yueyue asked Song Jiahe.
Song Jiahe glanced at Shen Sui, who was standing next to A Chu and Shen Wang, and spoke with a cold look in her eyes.
Even though Shen Sui was talking to Shen Wang, she felt that Shen Sui was standing there because of A Chu.
Thinking of Shen Sui's repeated rejections of her, Song Jiahe disliked A Chu even more.
She had wondered more than once if Shen Sui would ever see her if A Chu were gone...
Hearing Shu Yueyue's question, Song Jiahe lowered her voice and replied, "Don't worry."
There were also many girls of similar age to Shu Youwang at the banquet. Seeing that Shu Yueyue and Song Jiahe were together, they went over and started chatting with her.
As a result, they all got to know Song Jiahe.
Because there were other people present, Shu Yueyue and Song Jiahe stopped mentioning the plan.
Anyway, it was all arranged long ago.
