Well, regardless of whether these beautiful girls with an average appearance value of at least 2.5 or above really regard themselves as collections of powerful people, but maybe Brother Belmont is really a pretty good boss. At least, these beauties are still
He can joke calmly without being reduced to a cute but personalityless puppet.
...Of course, this may also be because this guy Krel has figured it out. What I like is this kind of young lady with personality. In Yu Lian's opinion, the personality and outlook are still debatable, but girls
You must have some edges and corners of your own to be considered attractive.
I dare not say anything else, but Claire Belmont is at least a real expert in flower appreciation, and maybe he has predicted my prediction.
Yu Lian's eyes quickly scanned the faces of the girls who were introducing themselves. He suddenly discovered that there was also a very famous actress among them. She was a new generation film and television star with both good looks and acting skills. She seemed to be
She is the idol of a certain Miss Sword Master, and it seems that a certain director has listed her as one of the potential heroines for the next movie.
As for the rest of the girls, they are not all flashy and vain entertainers. They include pianists, painters, athletes, and even doctors and university associate professors.
Well, it must be admitted that no matter what the purpose of these ladies attended this party, it must be admitted that even apart from their appearance, they are indeed women with quite successful careers. This
It is destined to make them different from those flowers planted in flower pots, naturally exuding a different charm.
"Brother Krel, you are a knowledgeable person!" Yu Lian sighed again, feeling that his nose was filled with the fragrance of the young lady, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up sincerely.
"We are good friends. We have agreed to invite a fruit plate, and it must be the best." Belmont laughed, and then clapped his hands again.
As soon as the two of them sat down surrounded by the girls, someone brought over a large fruit platter that was as gorgeous as if it were made of various gems.
...he really gave me a fruit plate!
The waiters then brought another large and expensive cold food platter - this was made from the liver of the silver feather goose, the cheek meat of the giant-horned ice deer, and the back meat of the white sea whale, with almost no processing.
It is served to the table in the freshest original appearance. The price of these ingredients alone can make an ordinary middle-class family doubt their life.
Krell had already laid himself completely flat, with his arms around the shoulders of the pianist and athlete who were next to him, leaning on the soft cushions behind him.
The athlete girl even smiled and picked up a goose liver cut as small as a fingernail with a silver skewer and put it into the other person's mouth.
"What a capitalist...ah, what a noble, why don't you get some capitalist stuff?" Yu Lian just sneered, and the doctor sister next to him had already rolled it up on his fair thigh.
A thin cigar was handed over with a smile.
...Handmade and rolled, isn't this more luxurious than an ebony scepter?
However, at this moment, Yu Lian didn't know whether he should answer it or not. However, before he could settle down, the permeating aroma of wine began to float in the room, even seeming to cover up the bodies of the young ladies.
fragrant.
"Uh, fire rock wine?" Yu Lian was startled.
This kind of spirit can indeed be regarded as a good wine, but it is actually a bit too smoky and incompatible with the atmosphere here.
"Huh, I'll get the workers' things for you right now." Krel said angrily: "Brother, when I was at the Tulong factory, I often invited everyone to go to Tulong to drink fire rocks, and by the way, we also had night barbecues.
Yes!"
Not that year, it was just a month ago. Just when Yu Liang was about to complain, he saw that the two waiters who were more human-looking than most of the nobles had already joined forces to carry another large tinfoil plate in. They
A stand was set up for the tin foil plate and a small electromagnetic heater was lit. Suddenly, the style of the room became full of a speechless mix and match style.
This plate is filled with iron picks, various meats, fruits and vegetables coated with spices and sauces. The spiced ingredients are sizzling hot oil under the constant temperature heating of the induction cooker. This scene can no longer be called
The pyrotechnic gas is actually oil fume, and it has a completely destructive effect on the style of the current exquisite and elegant compartment.
But no matter what, these barbecues will at least be delicious, and you can be sure of this just from the smell.
However, the painting style of the ladies around them should be incompatible with such an aura, but they did not show even a hint of disgust. This either shows that these few are top masters of emotional control and expression management, or that,
They are very adaptable to this environment.
"Brother Krel, you are a real master." Tonight, Yu Lian paid such sincere praise to the other party for the third time tonight.
Belmont chuckled and picked up the wine glass: "Don't say anything, it's all here."
They raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp, letting the stimulating taste with a long and intense taste linger in their throats. They just put the wine glasses on the table, and the young lady next to them held the bottle and filled it up, and then poured out the fragrant wine.
The barbecue was brought to their mouths.
At this moment, Yu Lian had already thought of that year... ah no, the glorious years of chivalry and drunkenness in another timeline, and couldn't help but feel emotional. He had to admit that what he was most comfortable with, and what he enjoyed the most,
These are the times.
So, Yu Lian once again drank the 72-degree fire rock spirit in one gulp, and then he took the iron pick he had just finished with, knocked on the cup, and sang: "The so-called beauty is on the side of the water!"
"Good music." The pianist, who was wearing a black dress, tall, and had a cool temperament, praised her.
...Yu Lian knew how out of tune he was just now, and it was really hard for him to hold his nose and praise him, so he could only hold his fists and express his shame to the other person: "I drank too much, and I am showing off my ugliness."
The pianist's smile suddenly became more sincere this time.
Belmont was startled for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Stop pretending! We are all psychics, how can we be drunk with this little wine!"
"Everyone gets drunk without being drunk! This truth is very simple but inelegant, but how can a hedonist not understand such a simple truth? This is not like you, Brother Belmont."
"...Wait a minute, I suddenly feel that your address to me has become too polite. Brother Yu Lian, you can't just start pretending to be confused when it's almost time to get down to business."
Yu Lian chuckled: "Look, look, it's going to be disappointing. I thought you were really going to sincerely ask me to eat the fruit plate."
"If there wasn't such a reason to spoil the fun, I would also treat you to a meal. We just happened to meet each other." Claire poured Yu Lian's wine with his own hands embarrassedly: "I said so, do you believe it?"
Yu Lian nodded: "I believe it."
Claire was startled for a moment, and then he reached out to wipe away the non-existent tears: "Brother Yu Lian, what do you want me to say? Oh, girls, have you ever seen such a human touch?
A big shot?"
"Indeed, compared with most big shots of your level, Mr. Krell is very humane, but compared with Mr. Yu Lian, you still can't be detached after all." Wearing a snow-white evening gown.
The associate professor lady wore a skirt, aqua blue necklace, and a classic bun hair and said with an authentic smile.
"Don't cry and look sad, we won't change your mind casually, but at least we want you to learn some self-awareness." The black-haired painter girl wearing a purple dress clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, it's this expression that everyone wants.
I’m going to draw this.”
Belmont rolled his eyes angrily, and then drank tons and tons of liquor in one gulp.
Yu Lian didn't know if the other party was really nervous or if he wanted to use this action to express his nervousness, but in any case, the latter at least used this to prove a certain degree of sincerity.
The "business" was about to be discussed, but he didn't even let the girls leave. Instead, he said in a frank and even self-destructive tone: "Those four dreadnoughts should implement the next equipment plan. This is actually just
Is this the purpose of Brother Yu Lian’s trip?”
"Yes, but what makes me curious is that up to now, no equipment plan has been issued that everyone can agree with. This is certainly because our embassy is not knowledgeable, but the shipyard and design department of your country have no responsibility at all.
There's none?"
"Of course we have a responsibility, that's why we are willing to provide free designs for equipment." Claire Belmont's cloudy eyes flashed, as if he was really drunk, and he complained in a chatting tone: "Yu Lian
Brother, it’s not that there are no design plans, but there are too many design plans, and every one of them is very feasible. What do you call this?”
Regarding this point, Yu Lian was not surprised. The alliance was never so bad because of its design and construction capabilities, but because of the market economy.
"In fact, as early as May last year, when the battleship's main bearing shaft was laid, six design departments had already come up with plans," Krell said.
Indeed, once the main bearing shaft is laid, the general size and quality of the battleship can basically be determined, and the equipment plan can be formulated.
"The finalists were the plans of Polaris Industries and Kajal Design Bureau, but at this point, there are actually many advantages and disadvantages."
"It turns out it's because we have difficulty choosing!" Yu Lian suddenly realized.
"Yes, that's why you need to make this choice." Krel said: "Well, brother Yu Lian, for the sake of our past friendship, how about you consider our Polaris Industrial plan? I think,
Only by using Type 12 shields and the new Cloud Giant engine, as well as a balanced main gun combination, can we ensure the strongest cruising and maneuverability of the warship."
"Cloud giant engine?" Yu Lian almost lost his composure and could only pretend that it was the first time he heard this term.
"Yes, this is new equipment."
"Oh, the alliance actually uses our new warship as a test product? Is this the attitude towards allies and customers?" Yu Lian pretended to sneer.
"...I understand, I understand. Although it is a new product, it has definitely passed the complete test, and its performance cannot be said." Belmont winked, and the pianist lady had already used her slender fingers to manipulate the black and white piano plate.
He twisted the silver stick with his fingers and brought a honey-coated jade fruit to Yu Lian's mouth.
"Good fruit plate." Yu Lian said with emotion.
The young lady giggled, and raised her fist to hit Yu Lian on the back in an almost coquettish manner.
While the girls were laughing and joking, Belmont added: "...Look, the Kajal Design Bureau's plan is a Type 6 phase deflection shield, four layers of Ormo steel armor, an Angel engine, and two positron cannons.
, the mainstream configuration of two light spear cannons, three rail guns and three ion cannons."
"Yes, it's very mainstream. Mainstream means you can't go wrong." Yu Lian nodded.
"But this will only turn your new ship into a big turtle, without any development at all." He said.
"Brother Yu Lian, really, trust me, just use Polaris Industries. It is true that the Type 12 shield and the Cloud Giant engine are the latest products, but isn't this new type of dreadnought also a new design concept? If adopted
It is difficult to directly overwhelm your direct enemies with a conservative plan. I heard that the Cathays bought three Corona-class ships from the empire."
Yu Lian looked Krel up and down and said with a smile: "I only know that you have a director seat at Taita Shipyard, but I don't know about your relationship with Polaris Industries."
"Polaris Industry is the industrial pearl of the alliance and its military industry business card. If I said that I was doing this for national affairs, would you believe it?"
"I don't believe it this time. Aren't Kajal Design Bureau and Kajal Heavy Industry also the pearls of the military industry of your alliance?"
"...Well, our family does have some small connections in Polaris Industry. They also have high hopes for this design plan."
Yu Lian clicked his tongue in surprise: "Is this how your alliance does business? Is it really okay to get to the point directly like this? I thought you would be more tactful."
"Based on my previous experience and my position, I have to talk to you about this business! However, due to our past personal relationship and the education I received in the previous two months, I am mentally
I’m really not happy about it. If I keep it in my heart and don’t say it, I won’t even drink anymore, so I might as well say it out loud sooner.”
Yu Lian sighed: "You know, there is no way I can promise you."
"I understand, but I just hope that you won't be biased against it because it is a new technology, let alone because of some minor problems that occurred during the experimental stage. Instead, you will use the wisdom and wisdom that a good soldier should have.
Give it a fair evaluation with insightful eyes."
Yu Lian glanced at him meaningfully and sighed: "Brother Krel, this is not how your alliance does business, but people like you should do this!"
The other party looked like he didn't understand at all. He blinked and laughed, then raised his glass again: "Okay, okay, let's talk about the disappointing things! Let's play music and dance! If we don't have fun today, we won't be able to attend class tomorrow.
If the ship enters the port, it means you are not giving me face!"
"Yes, yes, you should have said this a long time ago!" said the athlete girl.
"I thought you were going to start a fight just now." The pianist looked like she was in shock.
As a result, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively again. The doctor lady sitting next to Yu Lian looked at the handmade cigarette hanging on the ground, sighed slightly, then took out the silver tobacco box and smoked it with her slender smoked cigarette.
With her jade fingers and manicure, she gently twisted out some shredded tobacco, placed it on the dried long leaves, and then rolled it up on her fair thighs.
"This time I changed to a different kind of tobacco." She said, "I usually like this kind of tobacco."
"If you still don't answer, my sister will be very sad." She added.
Yu Lian thought to himself, if it were him in his previous life, not only would he have to take over, but something else would naturally happen, but if he were in this life, he would still need some discipline.
However, such a gentle, considerate and beautiful elder sister rolls and makes cigars for you with her own hands. It would be too unreasonable to remain indifferent to this.
To answer or not to answer, that is the question.
But just when Yu Lian was caught in this brief tangle, he only heard a creaking sound, and the solid wooden door at the door of the compartment was pushed open.
A woman wearing a shirt, cropped trousers, a pair of canvas casual shoes, and platinum-blond ear-length hair stepped into the room with an elegant posture but a temperament that no one would recognize.
Compared with the ladies in the house who are wearing sexy and close-fitting dresses, whose looks may seem simple but are actually full of charm, this newcomer is wearing the most natural and carefree casual dress.
However, when she appeared, she became the only light source of course.
She wore a warm smile and hid her gaze overlooking all living beings in her blue eyes. Then she clapped her hands gently and said in an understated tone without any ups and downs: "Okay, girls, the party is over."
