Chapter 28
The sun slanted westward slightly, and the wind blew through the leaves, setting off a burst of green waves.
Gardenias were hidden among the leaves in the undergrowth, and a wary white water bird stopped and went on the lawn.
There was a crowd of people pouring out of the conference center, and it fluttered its wings, like a plane taking off, straight into the sky.
The meeting on the first day ended successfully, and there was a cocktail party in the banquet hall in the evening, which was another rare Vanity Fair.
Gu Xincheng will not go to the cocktail party tonight. After the meeting is over, she will have a light meal with other staff members and then come back to clean up the venue.
Guests threw away half-drunk mineral water bottles and replaced them with new ones.
Tomorrow's meeting materials are arranged in advance, the messy chairs are rearranged, and the garbage has to be cleaned up.
At nine o'clock in the evening, looking at the brand-new venue, Gu Xincheng let out a long sigh of relief.
For a glamorous meeting, the guests only need to attend, but the staff have to work hard behind the scenes.
She is tired today, but she has gained a lot.
Everyone walked out of the venue one after another, planning to go back to rest, Gu Xincheng turned off the lights in the meeting room.
At this time, Zhang Mingyu rushed over and said: "The reception is coming to an end, you guys come with me, I have some things to do." The
organizer has prepared a lot of drinks, and how much they consumed tonight needs to be counted Materials purchased in excess will be returned to suppliers after the meeting.
Gu Xincheng followed Zhang Mingyu to the banquet hall.
It was getting late, but the resplendent and resplendent hall was still bustling and full of voices.
The crystal chandelier was fringed, and professional men and women in suits and leather shoes held wine glasses and chatted in small groups in the venue.
Men's leather shoes and women's heels alternately trampled across the thick Persian rug.
Every title must be followed by a "general manager", and no matter how bad it is, a "manager" must be added.
Fu Tangzhou was surrounded by several middle-aged men. He was tall and tall, and the goblet in his hand was filled with light golden champagne. A black cuff button on his wrist reflected colorful rays of light under the light—this was a polished diamond. craft.
He has an extraordinary appearance, and there is a kind of ease in his speech and demeanor.
These middle-aged men in their 30s and 40s are not potbellied or bald early. Successful people care more about their image than ordinary people think.
People rely on clothes and Buddha relies on gold clothes. Even if you don't look outstanding, once you wear high-end clothes, your temperament will immediately improve.
"Mr. Fu, we just met last time in Shenzhen, and this time we met again in Beijing." "
It's a coincidence."
"Mr. Fu is here to participate in the AI summit, because he wants to invest in it?" "
Just in Beijing, let's drop by Look."
"Last time I met your uncle on the golf course, and he mentioned you." "
Mr. Bao is very elegant, and I still have time to play golf."
Fu Tangzhou didn't talk much, just dealt with it casually, and rarely revealed key information .
He is quite proficient in falsehood and falsehood in the mall.
Gu Xincheng carefully counted the drinks in the corner, including champagne, wine, whiskey, bottle by bottle.
The title "Boss Fu" faintly came from her ear, and she glanced at it from afar.
Fu Tangzhou was the focus of this banquet. Among these successful people, he still had the attitude of a superior, quite distinguished.
In the next second, Gu Xincheng looked away and focused on his own affairs.
This grand cocktail party has little to do with her. If you want to socialize with others, you must have real skills, or have resources to exchange with the other party.
People nowadays are very realistic, and this kind of Vanity Fair is even more so.
When Gu Xincheng was with Fu Tangzhou, he had never attended a business occasion with him.
Seeing his other side tonight, she felt much more calm than before.
The sense of inferiority caused by class and status gaps is gone - because they have nothing to do with each other.
Fu Tangzhou took a sip of champagne, then glanced at the watch on his wrist, and the corner of his eyes swept across the corner where Gu Xincheng was.
He listened to these bosses with little interest, and from time to time he casually responded with a few words.
Mr. Bao noticed that Fu Tangzhou was looking at his watch, and ended the topic sensibly: "Mr. Fu, it's getting late. I still have something to do and I have time to contact you." Even if you want to start a relationship with Fu Tangzhou, you can't disturb it for too long
. Just take it.
After the bosses withdrew, Fu Tangzhou wanted to go in the direction of Gu Xincheng.
Unexpectedly, after counting a batch of wine, she turned around and left.
He paused, and subconsciously glanced at the wine glass in his hand—the champagne had run out.
Fu Tangzhou put the empty cup on the long table and took a new one.
At this time, a burst of green tea fragrance with a suitable concentration hit the nose, and a soft female voice sounded: "Can you get me a cup too?"
In this kind of social occasion, gentlemanly demeanor is a must.
Fu Tangzhou took two glasses of wine, turned around, and in front of him was a beautiful woman.
The makeup and hair are exquisite, the red lips are gorgeous, and the standard S-shaped curve.
The style of the suit is not rigid, and an orange Hermès silk scarf is tied around the neck as an embellishment.
It is difficult to tell whether the woman you meet on such an occasion wants to talk about business or something else.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." She took the wine glass from Fu Tangzhou.
The corner of Fu Tangzhou's mouth twitched, but he didn't respond.
"Mr. Fu, I listened to your speech today." She came prepared and strike up a conversation with precision, "There is one sentence that impressed me deeply." "Which sentence?"
Fu Tangzhou dealt with this woman intentionally or unintentionally, but his eyes were Over her shoulder - he saw Gu Xincheng counting wine glasses at the long table.
"A friendly AI with the same values as humans, and an AI that is willing to fight side by side with humans." She took a sip of the champagne foam and smiled with her red lips. Make it bigger.
Fu Tangzhou nodded slightly, looking in her direction, but couldn't hear what she said clearly. The
cocktail party effect refers to a person's hearing selection ability.
People can ignore background noise or other conversations, and focus on The voice I want to capture.
Now, what Fu Tangzhou is listening to is the voice of Gu Xincheng.
She is talking to Mr. Wang.
"Mr. Wang, you mentioned in your speech today that the unmanned vehicle of Zhongyuan Technology will soon Putting into mass production will first be implemented in the field of transportation. I wonder why this field was chosen for experimentation? "
Gu Xincheng's tone was very sincere, and she asked Mr. Wang what she hadn't figured out today.
Mr. Wang was also attracted by Gu Xincheng's question. This girl was not trying to strike up a conversation with him, but was sincerely asking for advice.
Her eyes flickered It is the light of seeking knowledge.
Mr. Wang smiled kindly and answered her question: "Using unmanned vehicles to deliver express is the first step of Zhongyuan Technology. The reason why we choose this field to try is because..." The
two People discussed this question back and forth, and Gu Xincheng's puzzled expression gradually became clear.
Gu Xincheng said: "Thank you, President Wang, for your answer.
Mr. Wang laughed and said, "It's hard for you to listen so seriously. " "
The woman who came to strike up a conversation was secretly happy when she saw Fu Tangzhou nodding her approval frequently at her words.
Between the words, he quietly recommended himself as a pillow: "Mr. Fu, we can have an in-depth exchange if we have the opportunity."
Fu Tangzhou nodded without saying a word.
She started asking again: "Mr. Fu, where are you staying tonight?"
After Mr. Wang left, Gu Xincheng also left.
Fu Tangzhou's attention finally returned to this conversation.
When she asked him where he lived, it was so suggestive that Fu Tangzhou knew it all.
He is not in the mood to play Tai Chi with her now, so he said coldly, "Does it have something to do with you?"
The woman was startled, Fu Tangzhou put the wine glass in his hand on the table and left the reception.
At eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, the moonlight is faint and the cool breeze is blowing.
Gu Xincheng did not leave the banquet hall until the guests were almost gone.
She passed by street lamps, and the shadows were long and short.
This summit is very worthwhile. It is much better to communicate face-to-face with knowledgeable industry leaders than to bury your head in a book.
She planned to go back and take a shower, and review today's notes before going to bed.
There is no sign-in session tomorrow morning, so she can just rest for a while.
Thinking of this, Gu Xincheng decided to go to the convenience store in the conference center to buy two bottles of yogurt.
One bottle to soothe the nerves before going to bed, and one bottle to keep for tomorrow's breakfast.
The convenience store is open 24 hours. The signboard at the door is full of fluorescent lights in the night, and a few small bugs are flying around.
Entering the store, the cashier is sitting at the cash register watching a short video, the incandescent lamp is buzzing overhead, and the neat shelves are reflected in the black glass.
Gu Xincheng asked the cashier: "Excuse me, where is the yogurt?"
The cashier: "Go from here to the end, over to the refrigerator."
Gu Xincheng: "Thank you."
She walked straight in the direction of the refrigerator.
There is white air-conditioning in the cabinet, and the pale light shines on various brands of milk.
She picked two flavors of the same brand, one yellow peach and one strawberry, both of which were her favorite flavors.
At this time, the glass door of the convenience store was pushed open again, and a new customer came.
Gu Xincheng hugged two bottles of yogurt, thinking that since they are all here, why not watch something else.
She looked around the shelves one by one, but when she reached the snack area, she found her old lover Fu Tangzhou picking up snacks on the shelf.
He glanced at her, but said nothing. There are a lot of things in the blue cargo basket in his hand.
Gu Xincheng: "..."
It really lingers.
She pretended not to see him, and kept her eyes fixed as she passed by.
She browsed two more shelves, but there was nothing worth buying here, so she went directly to the cashier to check out.
Fu Tangzhou was already at the cashier, and the cashier was scanning the barcodes of his items one by one.
Gu Xincheng glanced at it, wondering what they bought here, jelly marshmallow Wangzai steamed buns... those who
didn't know thought there was a child in his family.
Gu Xincheng put two bottles of yogurt on the cash register and looked down at the phone.
After being busy all night, she didn't even have the time to look at her phone, and she didn't know if anyone had sent her a WeChat message.
While she was looking at her phone, Fu Tangzhou took her two bottles of yogurt away, put them in his cargo pile, and said to the cashier, "Together."
Gu Xincheng heard his voice, looked up, and the cashier had already Scanning the barcode for the yogurt.
"Sir, the total is two hundred and fifty yuan." The cashier put down the scanning gun and said with a smile.
Fu Tangzhou showed the QR code of his mobile phone, and the payment was successful.
The goods were put into convenience bags one by one by the cashier, and Fu Tangzhou took out two bottles of yogurt and handed them to her.
Gu Xincheng: "I'll give you fifteen."
Fu Tangzhou: "No need."
Gu Xincheng thought for a moment that he had to add his WeChat back to give him the money, which is unnecessary.
Forget it, just take advantage of his fifteen yuan.
Who told him to touch her hand today shamelessly.
After the goods were collected, Fu Tangzhou went out with the bag expressionlessly.
Gu Xincheng stayed in the convenience store for two minutes longer before going out, she didn't want to go with him.
Guessing that Fu Tangzhou had gone far away, she went out.
Unexpectedly, Fu Tangzhou stood at the door and did not leave, his tall and straight figure was still eye-catching in the night.
Seeing her go out, he said, "I'll take you back."
Gu Xincheng quickly declined: "No need."
Fu Tangzhou "shushed" and said, "Listen."
Gu Xincheng didn't understand what he meant, but subconsciously Hold your breath.
It was quiet all around, only the croaking of a few frogs was particularly ear-piercing.
There is a large scenic lake near here. It is normal for frogs to appear in late spring and early summer.
Gu Xincheng's heart suddenly trembled. Just hearing the frog's sound made her knees go limp.
This is really not a joke, she is not afraid of anything, except for frogs croaking.
Gu Xincheng hated herself for being useless, a few frog crows could scare her out of her wits, and followed her ex-boyfriend obediently in humiliation.
The two of them walked on the concrete road, the roadside was lush with vegetation, and the sound of frogs croaking became clearer.
There were one or two sounds, which came from the grass beside Gu Xincheng's feet.
She didn't even dare to take a look, she was covered in cold sweat, and quickly followed Fu Tangzhou's footsteps.
"You're still so timid." Fu Tangzhou knew well that she was afraid of frogs.
"What's wrong with being afraid of frogs..." Gu Xincheng retorted in a low voice.
Who has nothing to fear?
Rats, cockroaches, snakes... People always have fears that cannot be overcome.
It's just that, to her, it's just a frog.
"It's nothing," Fu Tangzhou said lightly, "follow me."
Gu Xincheng kept silent, deliberately keeping a little distance from him, and didn't want to touch him.
Gu Xincheng suddenly remembered a book he had read, in which the cruelest punishment was to lock people up with the most feared animals.
She put the frog in, and instantly felt the same way—it was just unconscionable.
In the cool moonlight, there were two shadows, one high and the other low, and there was an unexpected silence between them.
It was embarrassing to speak, and it was also embarrassing not to speak, Gu Xincheng prayed in his heart that this journey would pass quickly.
After walking for a while, Fu Tangzhou broke the deadlock: "Boss Wang's child is in elementary school."
Gu Xincheng froze for a moment, unable to understand what he meant.
Fu Tangzhou: "And I'm single."
Gu Xincheng: "..."
