Pokémon: The Climb

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you here now?"

Yang Yan scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm late."

"Forget it," Jiumei actually arrived not long ago, so what he just said was just a casual joke: "Let's go in quickly, it's going to be lively on the boat tonight."

The two walked towards the cabin while talking and laughing.

This is a medium-sized cruise ship. From the outside, it is divided into 5 floors.

Generally speaking, the lower two floors are accommodation areas and the upper two floors are activity areas.

The top floor is usually where the big shots with good connections live.

Above that is the deck.

Yang Yan's current location is just at the railing at the bottom.

After entering, Yang Yan and the others walked towards the fourth floor along the passage.

After entering, Yang Yan felt that everything was as expected.

"There is a small banquet tonight. Of course, this has nothing to do with us," Jiumei introduced while leading the way: "We just need to enjoy a big meal."

"Yangyan, you haven't seen the upper class in your life. This time you can see it for a long time. By the way, remember not to lose your etiquette!" Jiumei turned around and reminded with a smile.

"Don't worry, Sister Jiumei, I won't disgrace our Yuhong Gym!"

Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or this life, Yang Yan had never experienced so-called high-class social gatherings.

But as an adult, he knows that when he encounters something he doesn’t understand, he should just shut up, listen more, read more, and learn more. As long as he behaves consistently with most people, he doesn’t have to worry about being laughed at or criticized. despise.

"Speaking of which, Sister Jiumei, have you ever attended a dinner like this?" Yang Yan also teased: "Don't make a fool of yourself before me."

"Talk a lot," Jiumei glanced at Yang Yan and said confidently: "When I knew what would happen at night, I had already checked the strategy online, so you should worry more about yourself!"

"By the way," Yang Yan suddenly asked with some confusion: "I think it's a bit inappropriate to hold this kind of banquet at this time, right? After all, there may be some people who haven't come yet, so it shouldn't be tomorrow night. After everyone is here?"

"You don't understand this," Jiumei explained: "These upper-class banquets usually last for several days. I have heard before that a rich man held a banquet to celebrate his son's birthday. The birthday party lasted for 7 days!"

"Of course, what we are going to do next is just a small banquet. You can think of today as a welcome banquet. The real banquet will not start until tomorrow night."

"That's right," Yang Yan nodded: "I've learned a lot."

"Just wait, on this ship, there will be many opportunities to learn more in the future!"

While talking, the two of them had already reached the 4th floor.

As soon as he entered the hall, Yang Yan was instantly surprised by the scene inside.

To be honest, this was his first time seeing such a luxurious place.

The ground is a neat red carpet embroidered with complex patterns. The surrounding curtains are blue and embroidered with gold-edged patterns. In the center, there is a neatly arranged and grand activity area.

Everyone was dressed neatly, and three or five people gathered together to talk and laugh.

From time to time, waiters carrying wine glasses and dinner plates passed back and forth, and at the edge, every distance, there was a person also wearing waiter clothes standing with his hands crossed.

The surrounding tables are filled with exquisite food that will make people salivate at the first glance.

"The decoration is quite good, but there seem to be a few people." Yang Yan said after scanning around.

"Of course, it's not officially started yet!"

"It turns out it hasn't started yet, so why are we here so early?"

Jiumei said angrily: "Stupid, of course I'm going to let you feel the atmosphere first. I don't have to pay much attention to it at this time, so I can learn how to act next so as not to be rude. If I wait until it starts, then it's okay It’s completely too late.”

Yang Yan looked back at Kumi, but he didn't expect Kumi to consider this so carefully, because Kumi just said that she had already checked the relevant etiquette, and there was no need to feel it in advance.

And although he didn't fully understand Jiumei, he also knew that she was a steady person, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent here by Rika.

"So, she didn't do this entirely for me, right?" Yang Yan shook his head mockingly: "She really treats me as a little brat, and she's planning to let me know about it in advance."

"However, this is Jiumei's kindness after all, and I can't help it."

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

She was embarrassed to be stared at by Yang Yan suddenly, thinking that Yang Yan might have noticed.

"It's nothing," Yang Yan said with a smile, "I was just wondering whether we should attend this dinner."

"Of course I have to participate. How could I not participate?" Jiumei was puzzled: "How could you say that?"

Yang Yan pointed to the people in front and said: "Look at them, and then look at us, do we seem to be qualified to participate? To participate in this kind of dinner, there must be dress requirements, I really I don’t have any suitable clothes, so I think I’d better go back.”

"Besides, the formal dinner is tomorrow. Even if I don't attend tonight, no one will say anything. I can still go to the mall to buy a suitable outfit before I leave tomorrow."

Yang Yan was right, their appearance did seem a bit out of place here.

Although his outfit is not cheap street stall goods, it is not even high-end brand goods.

As a trainer, durability and ease of use are the first factors you will consider.

After all, people like them often go to the wild or have battles, so they naturally do not put the pursuit of beauty as the primary factor when it comes to dressing.

Jiumei breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something, but it turns out that's it. Don't worry, the clothes are already ready. Just go to my place and get them."

Yang Yan was slightly surprised: "Sister Jiumei, you actually prepared clothes for me?"

"I didn't prepare this," Jiumei would not take the credit: "The clothes were prepared by the teacher. She had known that this would happen, so she prepared them for the two of us in advance. In addition to clothes, there were also perfumes and jewelry. Guaranteed You will definitely look twice as handsome as you do now after wearing it!"

"It turns out that the owner of the museum prepared it. He was really thoughtful!"

Yang Yan thinks this is more reasonable.

It’s not surprising that Li Jia expected this situation. After all, Li Jia is a member of the upper class, and Li Jia’s other identity is a prominent figure in the fashion industry, so the things Li Jia prepares are absolutely trustworthy.

Yang Yan and Jiumei, to be honest, among the group of people on the ship, they have the lowest status.

Not even as good as a sailor.

If it sounds nice, they are gym representatives. If it sounds bad, you can call them ordinary people.

So of course they don't know what they will experience when coming to the ship and what they need to prepare. Therefore, Li Jia will prepare it for them in advance.
