Bright Spring

The woman nodded again in surprise, "Mr. is very knowledgeable."

Gao Xu smiled and said, "I happen to be very interested in works related to the Renaissance, but I didn't expect Persians to play such pieces."

The woman said: "There are Christians in Iran." She paused and said, "Qin...Ming Kingdom is really a great country, and it contains the arts from all over the world. In our place, many people don't know Ude Qin, almost no one listens to it anymore. Instead, after playing in a foreign country, we have gained people's attention."

She speaks Chinese very well.

Gao Xu said: "Most of our musical instruments with Hu characters are from Persia, so there will naturally be people who appreciate the splendid culture of Persia."

"Thank you." The woman stared at him, "You can call me Mattie." She said with a strange wry smile.

"Liu Gang." Gao Xu took the initiative to stretch out his hand and lightly squeezed Mattie's finger.He originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave here, but when he noticed Mattie's expression, he asked again, "How do you pronounce Persian?"

So Marty taught Gao Xu twice, and then she glanced at the watch on her wrist and said, "Sorry, I have to go back."

Gao Xu said: "Goodbye."

He turned around and passed through the sparse crowd, and saw a large dining table. After looking around for a while, he saw Miaojin at the small table by the window.Gao Xu walked over and sat opposite Miao Jin, "I thought you would come back."

Miao Jin looked at him and shook her head and smiled, then picked up the spoon to scoop up the snacks on the plate.

Gao Xu observed her: "The Persian woman who plays the oud is named Mattie."

"Oh." Miao Jin glanced at him with a smile.

At this moment, Gao Xu discovered that Deng Jiamin was sitting with a strange man at the table behind Miao Jin.Xiao Deng also saw Gao Xu and looked over here.

Gao Xu looked at her and nodded slightly, and immediately looked away.He didn't want to disturb Xiao Deng's social life.

But Xiao Deng quickly got up, said goodbye to the man beside her, walked over, and sat down at this table.The table here is not big, and one side is next to the glass window, and three people just sit full.

"The dim sum is well done." Miao Jin pointed to the plate.

Xiao Deng shook his head and said, "I won't eat."

Gao Xu was still drinking wine by himself, "

Xiao Deng, what do you want to say? "

Xiao Deng was silent for a while, "The man just now belonged to the film company." After finishing speaking, he picked up a business card and handed it over.

Gao Xu didn't answer, "Why did you give it to me?"

Xiao Deng had no choice but to put away the business card in embarrassment, and she looked a little flustered.Gao Xu observed her appearance, felt that it was hard to fully understand, so he said calmly: "I'm just your boss at work, not your elder."

"That person just now asked me a lot of questions." Xiao Deng said, "He asked me how much I was paid."

Gao Xu suddenly said: "Oh, the one who poached the wall."

He hesitated for a moment, and if he ignored it, it seemed that his subordinates would feel a little chilled, so he immediately said, "Your usual monthly salary should be raised to [-]. I used to get this salary when I was a regular worker in a cosmetics company."

Xiao Deng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I don't want to use this to ask for a salary increase."

"Let's just say that, if there are achievements, there will be bonuses." Gao Xu said.

At this moment, a fat middle-aged man with a pale face came beside him. It was Mr. Pan, and he said, "Mr. Liu, good evening."

"President Pan, it's a pleasure to meet you." Gao Xu said.He was stunned and couldn't remember the person's name, but luckily he didn't need to call him by his full name.Gao Xu thought to himself, and turned around to ask others, what is Mr. Pan's name.

Mr. Pan smiled and nodded to the two women.

There was no room for the fourth person at this table, so Gao Xu stood up calmly, walked to the side, and stood with Mr. Pan to greet him for a while.

"In addition to liquor, people seem to like wine too." Gao Xu looked at the glass in his hand.Interacting with unfamiliar people, especially men, is a bit exhausting, and you have to find ways to find topics.After all, if it is a woman, you can praise her for her beauty and temperament, and Gao Xu can usually open her mouth.

The reason why Mr. Pan is not looking for a topic is because Mr. Pan doesn't seem to intend to take the initiative to speak up. He is looking at Gao Xu very seriously, and seems to be very interested in Gao Xu.But this look made Gao Xu a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Pan said: "The grapes grown in the south of the West America region are very good, and most of the domestic wine comes from the other side of the Pacific Ocean." He paused and continued, "However, the situation in the West America region has been unstable in recent years, and production has declined. "

Gao Xu nodded uninterestedly and echoed: "It makes sense, you can love what you have."

Mr. Pan said in a deep voice: "The reason why our movie won the Concubine Shu Golden Fan Award so quickly is because the subject matter involves the West American region and it has emotional guidance."

"There are also political factors in this kind of institutional awards?" Gao Xu said.

Mr. Pan nodded and said: "Of course there are, especially the awards from the capital. The mainstream|mainstream guidance of culture and values ​​is a strategic topic in our Ming Dynasty. There are a group of social and humanists who specialize in detailed research in this area." He revealed Very seriously confused, "Mr. Liu doesn't know?"

Gao Xu said with a smile: "I can only guess, my sources of information are not wide."

Mr. Pan added: "In ancient times we paid attention to assimilation rather than conquest, which is different from Western culture. Now we have given up assimilation and changed to value identification. This is a suggestion from scholars to the government. Today, value identification is still more War conquest|conquest requires low cost and few side effects.”

"Human society is indeed becoming more and more complicated." Gao Xu sighed softly.

Mr. Pan smiled lightly and said, "Of course, a car has tens of thousands of parts. Modern civilization can't be simpler."

Mr. Pan observed Gao Xu from time to time, and seemed to have something to say, but it was difficult to express it in words.At one point, his expression gave way.

But he finally spoke up: "Mr. Liu's mentality is very peaceful, not like an arrogant person. But I always have a feeling that you seem to be used to control, like a god, you can give and take away." He took a breath Tone, frowning as if thinking, "Before the production of Xunmeng, Mr. Liu should be short of funds, right?"

Gao Xu felt a little unhappy after hearing this.Maybe it's not because Mr. Pan's words are unpleasant, but because Gao Xu is not used to getting too much attention, especially from people he doesn't know well.

Although Mr. Pan's expression was very messy, Gao Xu still captured the meaning, which probably has two meanings.

First, arrogant people often do not match their strength and mentality. Only with an arrogant mentality can they project the corresponding words and deeds; just like stupid people, they often think that they are very smart.Second, Gao Xu's mentality is not arrogant, but he does not have absolute strength, so Mr. Pan thinks it is contradictory.

This Boss Pan seems to think he is smart, so Gao Xu is naturally uncomfortable.But he didn't think too much about it, he just said: "Mr. Pan may have misunderstood, but I have always been an ordinary person in essence."

As Gao Xu has said many times, it is not particularly necessary, and he basically does not lie, so he added "essentially" to what he just said.Whether Mr. Pan can understand it is his business.

Mr. Pan's voice said: "There are not many people who can be regarded as my true friends. I hope to have frequent contact with Mr. Liu."

Gao Xu smiled and said, "It's a great honor. President Pan's advice has benefited me a lot."

"Where is it?" Boss Pan smiled smugly.

Seeing this, Gao Xu immediately moved the topic away from himself, "Just now we talked about the unstable situation in West America. How about Egypt?"

After recovering for a while, Gao Xu didn't care about his emotions just now.Without evidence, and only relying on a little illusory abstract feeling, it is impossible for others to pry into one's own secret.

Mr. Pan talked eloquently: "Since the disintegration of the Ottoman state, the relationship there has become even more chaotic. Ming, Russia, Turkey, and European countries all have interests in North Africa and the Arab region. Among them, the contradiction between Russia and Turkey is the most serious. For a long time, it was mainly for the purpose of fighting for the outlet of the Black Sea. The internal disputes in the local area all have the shadow of many countries, and the forces without foreign aid will disappear quickly. Only Egypt seems to be in chaos."

Gao Xu also reads the news, but the information he got in a short period of time is obviously not comprehensive, so he pretends to be listening.

Seeing this, Mr. Pan said enthusiastically, "There is a garrison in Ming Dynasty, called the International Peace Alliance Army, and the main force is actually the Ming Army. Except for the Ming Dynasty, there are not many forces that can get involved in Egypt, and the local government is on the contrary."

After a while, a strange woman came over and talked to Mr. Pan.Gao Xu nodded to the woman, and took the opportunity to return to the chair by the table.
