Chapter 358 Cruise Reception (2)

   "It's very lively here, it just feels different."

  Looking at the crowded scene on the deck, and from time to time, a few beautiful girls in backless evening dresses passed by him like butterflies in flowers. Zhong Shi was naturally in a good mood, and he sincerely praised Andrew beside him.

Andrew's eyes have long been on a beautiful woman who just passed by him, from the white and smooth back to the round buttocks, after hearing Zhong Shi's emotion, he reluctantly retracted his eyes, and smiled, Pointing to Zhong Shi's clothes, he said, "Since this place is so good, Zhong Sheng, you should attend more parties like this. It's just that your clothes are a bit inappropriate, but it's not a big problem."

  Because it felt a bit uninvited, Zhong Shi put on a tuxedo and a bow tie for the first time, after all, he couldn’t be too incompatible with the atmosphere here. It's just that these clothes are cheap, and in the eyes of experts, they are a bit low-level.

   It must be explained that in the Hong Kong financial circle, the attention to dressing is almost the same as that in the West. On weekdays, even a small analyst has to wear famous brand suits and shirts, of course, it is best to customize them. In addition to these, hairstyles, business cards, watches, etc. must have a certain style, because in their corporate culture, these represent the company's image.

  Other policies, such as staying in a five-star hotel for business trips and flying in business class, are all based on this point. Of course, those who can enter the investment bank must be elites, and these policies also play a role in retaining talents to a certain extent. Who makes them rich in this industry.

   It’s just that these actions have intensified the vanity of this group of people to some extent, making them generally have a mentality of looking at people when they dress. Although he knew that Zhong Shi would not care about these things, Andrew still bit the bullet and persuaded him.

Seeing that Zhong Shi just smiled and didn't take it too seriously, Andrew sighed, took a glass of champagne from the plate carried by the waiter beside him, raised his hand at Zhong Shi, and said quickly: "Zhong Shi , take a look around first, I'll meet some friends." After speaking, he got into the crowd without looking back.

   "..."

  Zhong Shi blinked in surprise, and then took a closer look, where could he see Andrew? He couldn't help sighing, and said to himself: "This guy, don't you know that I don't know almost anyone? It's a good thing, I originally planned to come here to have a look, but now it looks like this. "

  Being slanderous, Zhong Shi could only shake his head helplessly in the end, took a glass of champagne, and wandered aimlessly on the deck.

I have to say that the reception on the deck of the cruise ship this time has at least a lot of ingenuity in the arrangement. The three pillars of strong light from the top of the ship are in the shape of a Chinese character, illuminating most of the deck brightly and thoroughly. On the top of the deck, hundreds of lamps and lanterns of different colors are densely erected, illuminating other corners of the deck like stars in the sky. The most amazing thing is that these lamps can be adjusted according to the ups and downs of the music Bright colors make the whole scene very atmospheric.

   After quietly appreciating the layout for a while, Zhongshi passed through the crowd and walked towards the buffet area on the deck side. Since no one took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and Zhong Shi didn't intend to communicate with others, it would be too dazzling to stand alone on one side, so he decided to find something to do for himself, that is, to eat.

Having said that, although a reception of this nature is just a social reception for the convenience of communication and network expansion, even so, the food prepared for the reception is extremely rich, including Thai-style beef rolls, salmon puffs, spicy vegetables, and snails. Crispy boxes, seafood pizza, French toast and many other foods are delicious in color and fragrance, which immediately makes Zhong Shi's index finger twitch.

   Randomly took some food, Zhong Shi hid aside and began to eat, but he didn't expect that his behavior had been quietly watched by someone.

   "Hey, isn't this a clock... a clock... a clock stone? What, you're here too?"

   Just as Zhong Shi was feasting, an untimely voice rang in his ear. Upon hearing the voice, Zhong Shi sighed, handed the dinner plate to the waiter beside him, took the tablecloth to wipe his mouth, and then raised his head to look at the person who made the sound.

  The last time Zhong Shi participated in a reception of this nature was three years ago. At that time, he was interrupted by someone who appeared from nowhere while he was feasting. Thinking that the history is so similar, he sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that he is really not suitable for this kind of occasion, and every time he is disturbed when he wants to have a good time.

  The soles of the feet are a pair of shiny black crocodile leather shoes, and the whole body is wearing an Armani evening dress. There is no trace of wrinkle on the dark gray clothes, and I don't know if they are just bought or ironed too well. Looking up, there is a slightly familiar face, which is very clean, not a trace of beard can be seen, and the eyes with gold-rimmed glasses reveal a mocking smile, which makes Zhong Shi was a little upset.

Staring at this half-smile face for a long time, Zhong Shi slapped his head, and finally remembered who he was. His former roommate at the University of Chicago, Li Weigang, was an Anglophile who treated him indifferently. guy.

  In fact, Zhong Shi didn’t live long in the dormitory provided by the University of Chicago before moving out, and he didn’t have much dealings with this roommate named Li Weigang, so naturally there was no grudge. Therefore, after recognizing him, Zhong Shi just smiled faintly, and greeted politely: "So it was you! It's been a long time."

   What Zhong Shi didn't expect was that his understatement aroused Li Weigang's anger even more. Although there are not many intersections between the two, Zhong Shi's thesis was highly praised by the school when he graduated, and it was even considered as the annual outstanding graduation thesis of the University of Chicago. model. Li Weigang, who was always proud and proud on weekdays, was naturally very unconvinced, because these honors were very likely to affect employment and other situations.

  After seeing the giants of Wall Street frequently waving to this former classmate, the grievance in Levi's heart became more and more intense. Fortunately, he has always performed well, and with his Asian identity, he was eventually recruited by a small Wall Street investment bank to study Asian economic affairs.

  Through his own unremitting efforts, finally one year later, he successfully jumped to Stanley Hong Kong and successfully ranked among the group of people with the highest income in Hong Kong. It stands to reason that these things should have been a thing of the past long ago, but Li Weigang is extremely narrow-minded. If he meets Zhong Shi on such an occasion today, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to avenge the so-called "one-shot revenge".

"Look at you, aren't you doing well? It's no wonder that the world is in a downturn recently, and everyone's life is hard. But you don't have to worry too much. If you really can't make it, you can still come to me, although I It's just a small employee of Stanley's company, but if you are interested in applying, at least your resume won't be rejected by me, haha." Li Weigang looked at the clothes on Zhong Shi's body, and said eccentrically.

  When an investment bank recruits people, it first asks the lowest-level analysts in a certain department to select resumes, and first scans out a batch of them, and then goes through wheel-like interviews with managers at all levels before they can finally apply for a job. Therefore, what Li Weigang said would not wipe out his resume is actually a lot of power.

  Zhong Shi was dumbfounded, looking at this complacent classmate, he didn't know what to say for a while. After being stunned for a while and scratching his head again, he still couldn't figure out where he had offended this gentleman. However, this is not the time to pursue this. After hearing Li Weigang's words, Zhong Shi was also a little angry. Is it? Then I really want to thank you very much. But I am afraid that with my level, Stanley will not be interested, right?"

   Naturally, he was speaking ironically, implying that he despises Stanley Company. Who wouldn't think that Li Weigang didn't understand what he meant, and immediately laughed out loud after hearing Zhong Shi's words, regardless of the occasion, he sarcastically said: "Haha, Zhong Shi, why is your level not enough? You should know that your article "Gaussian Connection Dependent Function" is an excellent undergraduate thesis. Now many models on Wall Street are based on your article. Haha, but now the world is bad and the market is sluggish. Most of them are in Layoffs and salary cuts, I'm afraid people like you really don't have much chance, haha."

  The unscrupulous laughter immediately attracted the attention of the people who were communicating in low voices, and many people looked sideways. But Li Weigang didn't have any taboos, and still spoke loudly on his own, but his words were full of malice, ridicule and sarcasm, completely incompatible with the atmosphere here.

   After half a sentence without speculation, the smile on Zhong Shi's face disappeared immediately, and he put down the wine glass in his hand and was about to leave. Who wouldn't want this Li Weigang to gain power, grabbed Zhong Shi who was just leaving, and said loudly: "Don't see us old classmates for a long time, let's chat for a while."

Seeing that he was being held tightly, Zhong Shi naturally didn't want to flirt with him in public, so he stopped and asked in a low voice: "Are you crazy? What are you trying to do? Why don't I remember what I have?" Has this place offended you? Isn't it good for you to humiliate me like this?"

"Offend me?" Li Weigang had already lost his mind at this time, this kind of face-to-face humiliation, and the other party's performance of "not daring to attack" greatly fueled his arrogance, and he stopped Zhong Zhong with a ferocious face. Shi, gritted his teeth and said, "That's not true. It's just that I don't like your style, and I want to teach you a lesson, to let you know that you can't come to this kind of place. Look at your poor appearance. You dare to wear a thousand yuan evening dress to come here. Now I wonder if you came here secretly. Listen, I don’t care how you got here, but this is a reception hosted by our company. If you don’t want to find If you're uncomfortable, get out of here."

After stroking the wrinkles on his clothes, Zhong Shi didn't intend to leave at this time, he stared at Li Weigang's distorted face, and after looking at it for a long time, he smiled and said leisurely: "Hey, since you are so Say, then I won’t leave. I want to see what you can do to drive me off this ship.”

"You! Good!" Li Weigang was immediately **** off, but it's not easy to explode here, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart, narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "If you have the guts, don't leave, I'll go find the security right away and promise to send you out of here safely."

   When talking about "peace and safety", Li Weigang deliberately emphasized the tone, and the threat was beyond words.

   It's just that Zhong Shi didn't seem to hear what he said, and just kept sneering at him, which made Li Weigang's anger a little higher. Without saying a word, he turned around and planned to call someone.

   At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling sound from the sky. It was very subtle at first, almost inaudible, but it soon evolved into a huge roar. At this time, the lights on the cruise ship were cast into the night sky at the right time. As the sound approached, a helicopter with red lights frequently flashing at the bottom appeared in front of everyone.
