After becoming a god on earth, I always want to lie down
Chapter 14 The Taste of Power
On the beach of Jinshan City, all the fire demon corpses were collected into the icehouse.
Last night, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xia State came over overnight to negotiate urgently with the Akha State on the distribution of body parts. In particular, the ownership of the black giant blade caused huge disputes between Xia Kingdom and Akka.
The knife is more than 30 meters long and more than 5 meters wide at its widest point. It is made of an unknown material and is not afraid of high temperatures. In the last crazy moment of the fire demon, the blue-purple flame broke out at nearly degrees, but the black giant knife remained intact. Moreover, after instrument testing, it was found that the knife contained unknown huge energy.
Everyone knows that this is a good thing, and no one wants to let it go.
The two sides are still in a stalemate.
----
Yang Yi tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.
She spent the whole day in the hotel room and enjoyed two free luxury lunches and dinners.
She didn't want to go out because when she turned on the TV and the Internet, all the news and programs were reporting on the fire demon incident yesterday.
After the disaster, Jinshan City was devastated. Reporters and busybodies stood at the scene of yesterday's battle. Under their feet was a huge glass with a radius of several miles - it was baked by the high temperature of the fire demon yesterday.
Yang Yi's face appears in all the news pictures. It can be said that people all over the world now know her.
In the Internet age, the earth is like a village. What happens in the village will be known to the whole village within the next day.
The next day, Iris respectfully reminded her that many international brands called the front desk and asked if they could speak to her.
"What are you doing with me? Are you advertising for them..." Yang Yi sat on the terrace holding an ice cream, enjoying the cool breeze.
"They said they are willing to provide you with clothing and jewelry for tomorrow's banquet free of charge, as well as a full set of styling services."
The country of Akkar will have a thank-you banquet tomorrow, which will be attended by high-ranking people and celebrities from all walks of life in the country of Akko. I don't know where the news leaked out, but those brands seemed to have smelled the bloody shark and actually targeted her - well, if you think about it carefully, she is indeed the biggest "traffic star" at the moment.
Those people found out that she lived here, but couldn't reach her by phone, so they called the hotel front desk, and the hotel front desk transferred the call to Iris.
Thinking of those beautiful clothes and jewelry, she felt a little excited, but she also thought of her current status - she is now a civil servant, and it starts with me to refuse extravagance! She turned to refuse sternly: "No, thank you."
"Ok."
"Wait, uh-" Yang Yi bit the metal spoon, "Is there a Xia Guo brand?"
Who doesn’t love beautiful clothes?
"Yes, Xia Guo's high-end brands LILAN, JX, Weture, and Grace Wu are also willing to provide you with high-end clothing, jewelry, and styling design services."
"Oh, I know." She immediately called Feng Liancheng to talk about the matter. Finally, she asked: "Can I wear their clothes? Are there any requirements for civil servants not to wear luxury goods?"
Feng Liancheng laughed when he heard this: "No problem, I'm not their spokesperson... Although we advocate rejecting extravagance, this is a national banquet, so it must be dignified and decent. Since they provide it for free, you can wear it if you want. ."
Yang Yi called Iris again: "Then let's go with LILAN!"
"Okay, I'll notify them right away."
It wasn't until the phone rang at 2 p.m., waking up Meimei from her nap, that she knew what high-quality, full-service services meant.
"What? They're already here?"
"Yes, they urgently chartered a special plane from New City and are now waiting for your reception in the lounge." Iris said respectfully.
Since I was woken up and couldn't sleep, I might as well start.
When he saw Iris leading the group and the hotel waiters carrying more than a dozen boxes, Yang Yi felt that something was wrong.
"Ms. Yang..." A capable woman with blond hair and blue eyes stood in front of her, suppressing her excitement, as if she didn't know what to call her, "My name is Emily, and I am the branch manager of LILAN in Aka. Ms. Li I am very excited to know that you chose our brand, but she is in Xia State now and cannot fly over in time, so I will provide this service."
Emily speaks proficient Chinese and has a slim figure that is perfect for the fashion industry.
The Ms. Li she is talking about is Li Lan, a well-known Xiaguo designer who is internationally renowned. She founded the high-end brand LILAN.
A man with curly hair and brown skin also came over excitedly and introduced himself with a stammer: "I am Roman, your image designer and makeup artist this time..." He used broken Xia Guo dialect for the first sentence, and then stopped talking again. Unable to suppress his excitement, he blurted out a string of Aka words: "I saw what you did in the news, it was so cool... When dealing with the fire demon, you were like a god..."
Yang Yi Aka spoke plainly and simply said thank you while keeping a polite smile.
Fortunately, no one had any problem with her reticence, as if she was supposed to be very cold.
"Why so many things?" Yang Yi finally asked.
"I'm sorry that time is too tight. This is just part of it. We can't bring more clothes." Emily explained to Yang Yi apologetically, while directing the staff to hang nearly a hundred dresses on the hangers.
Maybe our understanding of "more" and "less" is biased. Yang Yi thought.
Makeup artist Roland brought three huge makeup boxes with hundreds of lipsticks alone.
Everyone is busy and preparing for a big fight.
Yang Yi didn't know how to explain to them that she just wanted to wear beautiful clothes for free.
She thought that at most a few pictures would be sent to her, and then she would choose one item and the other party would send it to her with "free shipping", just like Xia Guo Express.
"Ahem -" Yang Yi coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention. She said with an apologetic expression: "Thank you all for coming here, but I'm a little tired and want more time to rest, so -"
She said all she meant.
"Yes, yes. We understand that you must be very tired after almost saving the entire Jinshan City by yourself. We promise that the makeup trial will be over soon!" Emily quickly assured.
Even so, the fitting and makeup trial didn't end until eight o'clock in the evening. Yang Yi went from being very interested at the beginning to becoming boring later, like a scumbag who got a beautiful wife but soon got bored.
She directly specified a simple and dignified blue dress, which can be worn on any occasion. The stylist paired it with a set of simple sapphire jewelry. Emily and Roman were still not satisfied, so they packed their things and left with a group of staff.
After finally having dinner, Yang Yi casually sighed: "There are quite a few people in Akha who speak Xia Mandarin!"
Liu Siyuan routinely tested the food and smiled after hearing this, "Now that you are at this height, anyone who wants to contact you, or is sent to contact you, must understand Xia Guoyu."
Yang Yi was stunned and couldn't help but laugh.
As long as you stand high enough, everything will quietly revolve around you, moisturizing things silently, and you won't even feel any deliberate efforts to please, everything will be so natural.
At this moment, for the first time in her life, she tasted the wonderful taste of power, an accessory of power.
----
The next day, a thank you banquet was held at the Riston Hotel.
This was a banquet with a strong political meaning. In addition to official figures from the Kingdom of Akha, the banquet was also attended by the president of the Jinshan City Post-Disaster Reconstruction Foundation and celebrities from all walks of life who had donated money.
"It's really eye-catching, the skirt is very beautiful." Feng Liancheng, who was standing by the elevator, praised it as soon as he came out of the elevator, "It is indeed a high-end dress from LILAN."
"The skirt is very beautiful, but I'm average, right?" Yang Yi joked casually.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yi actually took the initiative to joke with him, and Feng Liancheng was delighted - only acquaintances would joke, especially for an introverted person like Yang Yi. She always treats everyone indifferently. Does this mean she regards him as a friend?
"It's okay, the skirt is just a foil for you, you are the protagonist. I can say that the whole party is here just for you." Feng Liancheng's expression was sincere and his tone was exaggerated.
Yang Yi looked up and sure enough, as soon as her figure appeared, everyone in the banquet looked over. Countless people in suits and leather shoes with dazzling pearls shot their eyes at her. Suddenly, she became the center of attention.
Yang Yi was a little embarrassed inside, but on the surface he was as calm as an old dog.
She smiled calmly at those eyes, and after showing off her majestic demeanor from the Xia Kingdom, she naturally turned her head to look at Feng Liancheng: "I kind of regret coming here."
"No, you will never regret it." Feng Liancheng's words had a special meaning.
A fair young man came up and introduced himself, "Captain Yang, I am Zhang Mu sent by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You can just call me Xiao Zhang. I will be your interpreter today. It is a great honor to serve you."
The young man was flattered, as if it was an honor to be able to translate for her. This made Yang Yi feel a little strange. Three days ago, a young man like him in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was beyond the reach of a salty fish like her, but now he was frightened in front of her.
Yang Yi nodded and thanked him, and asked Feng Liancheng, "Do I need to do anything today?"
"You don't need anything, you can do whatever you want." Feng Liancheng shrugged, "Your arrival itself has given this banquet enough dignity."
Yang Yi immediately understood the significance of her being here - to express her position and support Xia Guo in fighting for the Fire Demon inheritance. Other things were secondary.
"Where are Chen Yushu, Wei Changan and Li Chengxuan? Are their injuries still healed?"
Among the awakened people from the Xia Kingdom who came with her, she was the least injured, but compared to the awakened people from the Akka Kingdom who suffered heavy casualties at that time, the three of them were already slightly injured.
"The injuries on their bodies are not bad. The main reason is that compared with you, the shock in my heart was too great. They took a flight back to train on their own this morning." Feng Liancheng laughed. "I said, how can they compare with you? Huh? Just like ordinary people who insist on competing with Einstein, why don't they find it satisfying... Look at me, the awakening ability is the most useless D-class clairvoyance. As long as you calm down, your mental endurance will naturally increase. "
It was difficult for Yang Yi to answer this topic, so he had to joke and say something cliché: "If you want to compete with me in hacking skills, then I will have no choice but to catch you blind. We just need to shine in the fields we are good at."
"This realization!" Feng Liancheng gave a thumbs up.
After Director Zhou’s introduction, Yang Yi got to know a bunch of people who were forgettable in a blink of an eye, such as the governor of a certain city, the mayor of Jinshan, the deputy mayor, the president of the Jinshan Post-Disaster Reconstruction Foundation, this president, that president, this CEO, that president , various lofty titles.
Fortunately, as long as she kept smiling behind Director Zhou, took a sip of champagne appropriately, even without saying anything, and maintained a cold persona, everything was easy.
Mainly because no one deliberately made things difficult for her.
When she hears a topic and shows a slight expression of interest, the people around her will make the topic more interesting and humorous; if she looks bored, someone will immediately change the topic to other directions; or some reporters who want to make a big news , asking some radical and pointed questions - there is always no shortage of such annoying people in the West - she showed a slight displeasure, and immediately someone took the initiative to build a ladder and diligently rescued the siege. Then the person who asked the sharp question was quietly rejected. Get out of the topic circle.
Everyone spontaneously circled around her, and everything around her was so harmonious, as natural as a planet orbiting a star, and it would not cause her any discomfort.
This is a paradise for sociophobic introverts, and she is a little carried away.
No wonder everyone likes power. This wonderful taste made her feel dizzy.
"How's it going? Are you a little bored?" Director Zhou took the opportunity to ask.
"Everyone is very friendly and it's not too difficult." Yang Yi took a sip of champagne.
"Haha, can you be unfriendly? A humanoid nuclear bomb is stuck here."
"Yes! Haha..." Yang Yi also laughed.
Smiling, a man walked up to her. He seemed familiar to her just now. He said something, but Yang Yi could hardly hear it. Her eyes were completely focused on the person behind him.
Chris Norton.
Her flower crush.
