my son billions

On the morning when they went to meet Strange Dawken, Xu Chu and Josephine received an invitation letter.Strange Dawken rescheduled his meeting with Xu Chu to this evening.

Strange happened to be attending a business party tonight, so he also sent two invitation letters to Xu Chu and Josephine.It is not only because he wants to meet the daughter of an old friend, but it is also convenient for Xu Chu to develop his own contacts during the party.

Before coming to Kermode, Xu Chu prepared a few outfits, which just happened to come in handy at this time.

It's just that Xu Chu's appetite was a little uncontrollable during this time, and he often dozed off.So he went to sleep early in the afternoon, and after waking up, he had a hard meal, and then he chose a suitable dress with the help of Sai Le and the others.

Formal dresses have evolved to the present, and the design is a bit like a combination of suits and military uniforms, which looks very energetic when worn on people.

Xu Chu put on his clothes, went downstairs, and asked everyone's opinions: "How is it? I'm not wrong?"

This was the first time Xu Chu wore such a dress after coming here.In order to pretend to be a widow, he had learned some related etiquette, but this did not include formal men's dresses.

"I think it's pretty good! Spirit!" Fandral smiled and gave Xu Chu a thumbs up.

But then Xu Chu found that Sai Le and Butch and Jon behind him were all frowning, looking hesitant to speak.

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, and asked with some doubts: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Chapman looked at the puzzled look on Xu Chu's face, but couldn't help but reach out to support his forehead.

He had to admit that this dark blue dress was designed with a more military flavor, and it was indeed quite suitable for Xu Chu.Not only does it appear that the other party is handsome, but also very charming with wide shoulders and long legs.And the color of the clothes, which was close to black, also matched his hair color, making his facial features more distinctive.

But the bad thing was the wide belt around the opponent's waist.

The belt gently stretched the opponent's waist, but fully revealed Xu Chu's slender waist that had just eaten a large table of food but still did not show his stomach.Not only did it make Xu Chu look a lot thinner all of a sudden, but it also added another unspeakable charm.

Chapman looked at it, and also felt that the clothes didn't look right.If he dressed like this to attend a business banquet, he might be misunderstood about his identity.

So he took a few steps forward, helped him untie his belt, and unbuttoned the front of his jacket, smiled at Xu Chu and said, "This kind of business banquet doesn't need to be too formal, so you don't need to wear a belt."

After finishing speaking, he untied his belt and handed it to Karian who was beside him, then took two steps back to look at Xu Chu's current appearance.After thinking about it, Chapman reached out and pulled his shirt from the waistband of his trousers, and undid a button on his collar.

Seeing Xu Chu's appearance after being taken care of by him, Chapman finally nodded.

Although he is still not satisfied, it's just that the current appearance is much better than before.

But Xu Chu couldn't see any difference after his adjustments.However, seeing other people's faces also stretched their brows, he also smiled.

After handing over the little dragon cub and Xiao Yezi to Chapman, Xu Chu took Josephine to the hotel where the banquet was held.

Most of the luxury restaurants and hotels are built on relatively high places, and the place where the banquet is held this time is another sky hotel.

The entire banquet hall is like a fully transparent Frisbee, topped by a towering column.Xu Chu stood on the ground of the banquet hall, and through the transparent ground, he could even see the hovercars and aircraft passing by underneath.

This made him feel itchy on the soles of his feet, which was very uncomfortable.But the other guests besides him seem to be accustomed to this, probably because most buildings in the interstellar era are built at high altitudes.

Both of them came earlier, but it seemed that Strange came earlier than them. As soon as Xu Chu and Josephine arrived at the banquet hall, they were invited into a small hall by the waiters at the side.And there, Strange was already waiting for them with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Strange." Josephine stepped forward to hug him, and then introduced Xu Chu to him.

Strange looked into Xu Chu's eyes, but couldn't help showing appreciation.This is indeed not a young man with conventional aesthetics, but the other party's strange facial features can still catch people's attention.

Strange nodded to Xu Chu with a smile, and said, "Josephine mentioned you to me several times, and I finally had the honor to meet you today."

Xu Chu also smiled and said, "Miss Josephine is kind-hearted. If it weren't for her this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to ask you out."

Strange smiled and shook his head, "You have that kind of technical support, and it will be a matter of time before you want to see me."

Saying that, Strange handed Josephine to his female companion, but nodded at Xu Chu, and led him to a reception room beside him.

Josephine knew that they were going to talk about business, so she stopped following them.

Xu Chu also thought that the other party was going to talk to him about trash, but as soon as he entered the small reception room, Strange turned around and asked about his relationship with Josephine.

"I heard that you just met some time ago, and Josephine has helped you several times." Strange sat down on the sofa casually, and then asked.

Xu Chu was taken aback when he saw this, and then realized that the visitor was not kind.He thought for a while, and sat down opposite Strange without the other party's signal, and said, "Yes, Miss Josephine helped me a few times, and I am very grateful to her."

Strange smiled when he heard this, "Young man, you are very smart. There are many paths in this world, but there are often only one or two that can find the ladder."

While Strange was speaking, he observed the expression on the face of the young man opposite, but found that the other party did not show any anger because of what he said.So he went on to say: "But the ladder is not so easy to climb. If you don't have enough strength, you will often be blown away by the strong wind halfway through the climb."

Xu Chu probably knew that what the other party was talking about was that he used Josephine several times to achieve his goal, so he thought for a while and said: "I don't plan to go all the way from this ladder to the top, and since I borrowed strength, I will definitely repay it." .”

After hearing the words, Strange continued to answer the conversation, but stared closely at Xu Chu, seeing that the other party was looking at him with burning eyes, and did not avoid it.After a long time, Strange smiled, "If I were Josephine's father, I might not necessarily make the same choice as him. You are not only smart, but also very good at judging the situation. I'm afraid as long as you are given a chance, Even without a ladder, you can climb to the top. But it's a pity—"

Strange said and shook his head, "Josephine is a good girl. Although she has some flaws, she is still not something you can think about with your current status. What you want to get from her, I am now I can give it to you, but only if you let her leave you."

Only then did Xu Chu understand the matter clearly.

He frowned slightly and explained: "I think you must have misunderstood, my relationship with Josephine is just ordinary friends—"

But Strange directly interrupted him with his hand, "No, you don't need to explain to me, you just need to do what we ask - leave Josephine and don't disturb her life anymore."

Xu Chu slowly pursed his lips, silently looking at Strange in front of him.

Strange laughed when he saw this, "Young man, think about it carefully. I know you have the technology to clean up waste. If you can get the right to dispose of waste from our Dodge consortium, then you can earn credits from it." , even if you squander your whole life, you will never be able to squander it all."

"Our Dodge consortium owns more than just factories in this star field. Our factories are all over the entire alliance, and there are as many scraps as you want. At that time, do you want any women? Even if you want to climb up, It’s also easy.”

Xu Chu looked at the big pie drawn by the man in front of him, knowing that he could only eat a part of it, but it was still very tempting.

"What do you have to worry about?" Strange continued with a smile, "Just let her go back to the capital planet, back to her parents. You don't even need to cut off contact with her, just let her know that you have nothing to do with There is no possibility between her. This is just a way for her parents to protect her, and none of us want to hurt her."

Hearing this, Xu Chu no longer looked at Strange, but just lowered his head and lowered his eyes to meditate.

He has understood the strength of the Dodge consortium, even if he can get 1/3 or even 1/4 of the other party's waste disposal rights, then his current situation will not be so embarrassing.This is not a question of credit, but because of the countless hungry bugs behind him.

He had to admit that he really wasn't an upright person.Approaching Josephine with the purpose of taking advantage of her kindness.But when the other party helped him free of charge, he still had no way to repay the other party's kindness 100%.No matter what the excuse, there is no way to hide the fact that he is a selfish person.

But this decision must be made for him.

So Xu Chu looked up at Strange, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Strange showed a satisfied smile, then he lightly pressed the bell under his hand, and then a beautiful woman in a tight-fitting sexy evening dress came in from the small door beside him.

"This is my daughter Vera, and I want you to have an opening dance with her tonight, and then she'll take you to meet some of the other folks in the arena who will be useful to you—and no harm to you. As long as One point, the only person next to you tonight is her."

Xu Chu glanced at the woman, then turned back to look at Strange.

Strange smiled at him, motioning for him to get up and take Vera's hand.

Xu Chu did stand up as he wished, but after a long silence, he said, "I'm sorry."

Then he turned and left the reception room.

For his little bugs, he had to choose to be a selfish person, but he couldn't choose to hurt Josephine in this way.

He knew very well the harm that the ball had caused Josephine.I'm afraid Josephine's father, Clark, and Mr. Strange knew it very well, so they chose to use this method to protect the person they wanted to protect.But they probably didn't know what kind of wound that such pain brought to Josephine would be difficult to heal.

When Xu Chu walked out of the small living room, he didn't see Josephine, but the banquet outside had officially started.

He thought for a while, and since the biggest purpose of coming here would not be achieved, he could still do some things.

So when he was standing aside and thinking about other targets he could find here, he met a slightly familiar person and smiled slightly at him, unexpectedly, the other person also came over.

After the two chatted for a while, Xu Chu realized that the reason why the other party looked familiar to him was because he had information about this person on hand.The other party was the person in charge of a large production company in Kermode. They had contacted this company several times before, but they didn't get a chance to talk in detail. They didn't expect this time to be a surprise.

But Xu Chu didn't intend to go straight to the point, but just chatted casually with the other party.In fact, Xu Chu can't be said to be well-informed, but he knows his own flaws and lacks common sense of the world, so once he encounters something he has never heard of, he will always try to obtain as much information as possible afterwards.

So after chatting with him for a while, the man who looked a little older found that this casually dressed young man seemed clumsy and ignorant in many aspects, but seemed very proficient in other aspects.

Faris liked the innocence of this young man in some aspects, so that the other party did not look like a businessman who had been in the mall for a long time, but like a young master of a family.He was just bored and looking for someone who was pleasing to the eye to chat with, but he didn't expect that this person was not only eye-catching, but also had a good affinity with him.

"You have even opened a mecha?" Faris looked at the opposite person in surprise, "Have you already strengthened it?"

In fact, in this day and age, reinforcement is still the prerogative of the few.

Xu Chu didn't expect the other party to ask this question, so he just shook his head and said, "No, I just went up and fired a few shots before coming down."

Faris nodded understandingly, "I've been up there too, but the speed is too fast and my body can't bear it. After all, the comfort of the mecha is not as good as that of the spaceship. I heard that even if some people have been strengthened, they will turn into flesh if they are not careful!"

Xu Chu looked at Faris in surprise, and only then did he connect the two things together.

Seeing Xu Chu's widened eyes, Faris couldn't help laughing.

When he first noticed this young man, he only felt that he was calm and introverted, with a unique appearance.It's just chatting until now, but I found that in addition to being calm, the other party also has a kind of romance unique to young people.

Thinking about the business of their company that Xu Chu had just chatted with him, Faris thought for a while, then brought Xu Chu to the venue, sat down and chatted with a few good business partners.

Xu Chu found that most of these people were giants in the manufacturing industry, and some of them were even involved in the military industry. Only then did he suddenly understand the level of this commercial party.

"It is said that Major General Carpenter will also appear, but I don't know when he will arrive." Someone said.

"Not necessarily coming, it is said that the major general is very busy during this time." Faris interjected.

Faris didn't intend to be a bridge for Xu Chu, but just took Xu Chu to chat with a few people, Xu Chu also listened, and occasionally expressed a few words of his own opinion in the field he was familiar with.

Xu Chu's attitude seemed very leisurely. After experiencing the tit-for-tat confrontation with Strange just now, such small talk made him feel very relaxed.

When talking about the excitement, he will also talk about what he has seen and heard during this period.The places he has been to are not as many as others, but he observes things from a different angle than others, and his language is very humorous, "I just think, if you really want to create a dark atmosphere, why not just build the restaurant underneath it?" ?——After all, it is much easier for us to park in this way. It needs to be built on the highest floor and use sunshade cloth, does the designer really know what he wants?"

——Of course the designer knows that what he wants is this kind of high-end feeling.

It's just that this in itself is a kind of complaint.

Everyone obviously understood Xu Chu's jokes, and all laughed.

Then Faris asked Xu Chu's purpose here casually, but gave Xu Chu a chance to introduce the company's business.

The people present were not particularly interested in the technology of environmental improvement and waste disposal that Xu Chu said, but they didn't mind listening to the young man's words.

During the period, Faris asked Xu Chu's price just right.

It was only then that Xu Chu realized that Faris might be trying to help him, so he couldn't help but smiled at Faris, and then said the best price they could offer.No matter how extravagantly he talked about the technology before, when he announced the price, some people present raised their eyebrows and showed interest.

Then several people exchanged contact information with him, which made Xu Chu very happy.

Although the companies of the several people present are not as big as the Dawkin Consortium, if they can win some of them, there will be at least several planets of industrial waste in total.

Just as Xu Chu was smugly planning to go back and conquer these companies, Strange walked over with his Vera on his arm.

Seeing Strange's arrival, all the people present stood up, and then sat down to exchange greetings. Strange frowned as if he had just discovered Xu Chu's presence, and said, "I didn't expect you to be here." Here, I have been looking for you for a long time."

Xu Chu heard the words and looked at the other party, and found that the smile on Strange's face was a little malicious and said: "I told you, don't make trouble for me here, I don't want to clean up the mess for you again gone."

While Strange was talking, he showed a meaningful smile, "If you continue to be disobedient, I will punish you severely."

Hearing these words, the faces of the people around Xu Chu suddenly changed color.

Xu Chu looked at Strange in disbelief, feeling that the other party's teasing was low-level and ridiculous.But Xu Chu then turned his head to look at the people around him, and found that their faces no longer had the kindness they had before, and they all became alienated and superior.

Obviously they all understood Strange's meaning, and when they found out that they had just chatted with a plaything for so long, it made them feel extraordinarily humiliated.

Xu Chu took a deep breath, but he knew that no matter how he explained this matter, it would be futile.Strange's identity makes his words unquestionable here, and he has been characterized as a plaything, so people will not believe his words at all.

Strange used such low-level means to let him see his energy here and make him regret compromising.He was telling him, you see, I just said such an outrageous and unfounded statement, which can obliterate all your efforts.

"Okay, Vera, take him down." Strange nodded to Vera behind him, and then resumed chatting with everyone about other topics.

Xu Chu stood there, his face flushed red with anger from the other party's contemptuous attitude.He has no way to argue with Strange over such a thing here, because he can't prove a fact that doesn't exist.

And such an argument would only make him a laughing stock here.

Xu Chu clenched his fists fiercely, wishing he could go up and beat Strange for a while, but there was a commotion outside the door.
