Chapter 437

In the hall, a brisk and romantic movement is being played. On the ceiling, rows of chandeliers are covered by translucent colored glass covers, and the light becomes ambiguous.

"Would you please ask me to dance, sir?"

A lady with exquisite makeup came over. It could be seen that she was very young. Even though she deliberately painted a mature makeup, she still gave people a childish feeling.

According to social etiquette, a gentleman cannot refuse a girl's small request in public, so Lu Li readily agreed and said with a smile:

"My pleasure."

On the side, Boss Luo looked at the two with a smile, like an old priest blessing the new couple.

"That... seems to be one of the heirs of the New World Bank?"

"That's right, Miss Celine, the blood of the New World Bank, I heard that her father is seriously ill and no longer performs his duties."

A well-informed source analyzed, "When the wind and rain were turbulent, Roche Biologics not only did not keep a low profile, but held a grand welcome party for the new directors. Presumably, there will be some big moves next."

"It just so happens that the New World Bank, an interstellar organization, can provide them with a sum of money."

In a few words, the real purpose of this welcome meeting was guessed out.

The reason why Boss Luo is so high-profile is that he really wants to use this to convey some kind of information to the outside world and bind Lu Li and the company firmly together——

Although no media reporters were invited to this banquet, all the big figures on this planet were present, and they saw how much Roche Biotech attached importance to this new director.

Of course, Lu Li didn't know about these twists and turns, and he wasn't interested in participating. He was busy dancing with the lady in front of him.

It's not that you can't let go, let alone that you can't control the rhythm.

In fact, Lu Li, who received half an hour of training in advance, danced very well. Elizabeth, the life secretary who acted as the etiquette teacher, even suspected that he had actually mastered this social skill a long time ago.

It's just that the other party's eyes are too hot.

As a female companion, Miss Celine felt very relaxed, she didn't need to think at all, she just had to follow Lu Li's rhythm, just like a marionette.

However, the song won't continue playing forever, the moment the music stopped, Lu Li immediately let go of his hands.

Frankly speaking, if Luo Yue hadn't been firm, he wouldn't have appeared in public at all. After all, it was too high-profile, which was not conducive to hiding himself, even if it was not necessary for now.

"Sir, can I have a drink over there? For our tacit cooperation just now."

Miss Celine thought the man in front of her was very interesting, so she sent another invitation.

This scene fell into the eyes of others, and instantly aroused discussion, and the smile on Boss Luo's face was even wider.

That's a great start, isn't it?

Everything is developing in the direction he expected.

Unfortunately, Lu Li lacked interest in this.

Out of politeness, I had a few drinks with Miss Celine, and after chatting for a few words, I found a reason to leave.

In fact, no one is indispensable.

Seeing that Lu Li didn't intend to get in touch with her, Miss Celine didn't care, because several young masters immediately surrounded her.

The dining table is full of exquisite food and various desserts and snacks, but how are these girls important?

"Why don't you talk to her more?"

At this time, Boss Luo came over.

"..."

Lu Li found a corner and sat down, took a sip of wine, covered the strange expression on his face with the glass, and asked, "Why do you want to talk more?"

"Her father is a director of the New World Bank."

Having said that, Boss Luo turned his eyes slightly, and glanced at the dance floor.

Miss Celine was chatting with several suitors, but she seemed absent-minded, looking around from time to time, and when she saw someone next to Lu Li looking over, she immediately smiled back.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Lu Li was a little impatient. The image of Roche Bio in his mind was getting lower and lower. It was clearly a giant in the bio industry, but its boss was like a matchmaker, no, worse than a matchmaker.

He actually asked him, a dignified director, to do the work of a cowherd and find a way to hook up with a rich woman, even though she was too young.

"All right."

Seeing this, Luo Yue also sensed the impatience in Lu Lili's heart, and took the initiative to explain: "The best way to get out of a relationship is to start a new relationship. It just so happens that Miss Celine is both beautiful and rich. I thought you would like it." of."

good guy...

So I have to thank you?

Thinking of this, Lu Li became more speechless and sighed: "Don't arrange such activities in the future, I don't like being exposed to the public eye."

"Don't worry, the media was not invited to this welcome meeting, and it will not be reported afterwards."

During this period of time, there were some problems with the capital chain of Roche Bio, which was not fatal, but the progress of the experiment would be delayed——

In order to thoroughly study the small alien, the company needs to invest a lot of special funds.

Because of this, Luo Yue immediately thought of going to the bank for a loan. As for whether Miss Celine would have a spark with Lu Li, it was really out of his prior consideration.

But now, the other party obviously intends to have in-depth contact.

One of the heirs of the New World Bank and the new director of the listed company, the two are a perfect match.

It's a pity that Lu Li was very resistant to this, which caused Boss Luo a headache.

As far as he knew, Miss Celine had never accepted other people's invitations to dance, but today she became very active. Doesn't this explain something?

"Let's talk business."

Seeing Luo Yue's silence until now, Lu Li knew that this guy was playing with some crooked ideas again, so he took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"Oh? I heard from Luo Xuan that you are very resistant to dealing with company affairs. I didn't expect you to think about it so soon."

"As for that alien, what kind of experiment do you plan to use it for?" Lu Li didn't want to be entangled in the unnutritious matter just now, and talked about Luo Yue's most concerned area, "Listen to the secretary you arranged for me, then I'll be in charge of one piece?"

"Of course, you seem to know this race better than anyone else."

Sure enough, Luo Yue didn't care about other things, and her expression became serious, "It's a treasure, as long as it is properly developed, it can revitalize the company and become a real industry giant."

"So, to answer the original question, what experiment will you do with the alien first?"

"It's still very weak and can't stand the toss. I'm going to do two sets of experiments first." Luo Yue lowered her voice and said, "You are in charge of one set, and I'm in charge of one set. One is the direction of cell cloning, and the other is the exoskeleton armor. field."

Cell cloning?

Lu Li couldn't help frowning.

This was the area he was most worried about. A drop of alien blood sample could clone countless larvae.

And they all have infinite possibilities. They may be weaker than the mother, but they may also become stronger. Especially when scientists are doing cloning experiments, they can use genetic debugging technology to make the new larva stronger.

Of course, there are also situations where it cannot be replicated and debugged, or the potential of the alien that provides the cells itself is low, and it cannot be used to clone a better experimental body.

"Which group am I in charge of?" Lu Li asked tentatively.

"The second group, the development of exoskeleton armor, if it goes well, it will soon achieve results and bring benefits to the company." Luo Yue replied.

As expected.

In fact, Lu Li didn't notice that his mentality was less aggressive than before.

"What about the specific work arrangements?"

"It's nothing, it's just a name, and I will go to check it regularly, so that the experimenters below won't slack off."

at the same time.

Another piece of music was over, and the dancers scattered and left, or went to the table to get some food, or formed a small circle in groups of three or five, and burst into enthusiastic laughter from time to time.

The other directors of Roche Biotech shuttled among the crowd, chatting and laughing. During this period, at least two dozen agreements were reached on the distribution of benefits and cooperation on projects.

At this moment, those who still choose to stay on the dance floor are mostly young people who are keen on socializing, some circle around Miss Celine, and some accompany their female companions.

"Oh, you really don't look like a young man."

Luo Yue pretended to be vicissitudes, but did not get any response.

This time, he finally stopped thinking completely.

After twelve o'clock in the morning, the welcome meeting that lasted for nearly ten hours finally came to an end.

It is impossible to dance and talk about business in the middle, and a few performances were interrupted during the period.

"Concubine Yang", "Neon Clothes and Feather Dress Dance".

If it wasn't for the title of the show on the electronic monitor, and the lyrics barely corresponded to the original version, Lu Li really wouldn't be able to recognize what these were.

Don't think about it, it must be that other clubs sent people to Miss Kamio to steal business secrets.

However, due to the complexity of the costumes, it is difficult to reproduce them only by observation. Although the subtitles and background information can be memorized abruptly, the singing, posture, and music work behind the scenes cannot be imitated. A four-dimensional appearance came out.

"While appreciating the performance, you frowned the whole time, don't they not learn well?"

"A poor imitator without any charm."

"No way, the ATOM club is closed for a rest, so I really can't invite you."

Lu Li and Luo Yue leaned side by side on the railing of the high platform, watching the guests leave.

In the rain at night, suspended cars soared into the sky and disappeared quickly.

"Don't mention it in the future, so as not to reveal my identity." Whenever he heard this name, Lu Li felt a little complicated inside.

Through observation, Luo Yue also noticed that there was nothing between Director Lu and that lady, as he said before:

confidant.

"Understood, Mr. Lu Mengming." Boss Luo smiled, deliberately teased, and asked:

"Is there any special meaning to this name?"

"In ancient times, people not only had names and surnames, but also characters, which are the interpretation and supplement of names."

Lu Li answered seriously.

Hearing this, Boss Luo nodded thoughtfully, and said with emotion, "You do have a lot of research on ancient history. I have seen the saying that the ancients had characters in the diary left by our ancestors."

"Wait... so, you make money to return to your home planet Earth?"

In an instant, he caught a flash of inspiration and thought of the most correct answer. He was a little uncertain at first, but after seeing Lu Li's surprised expression, Boss Luo was stunned.

Back to home planet? !

The idea is really...

madness?

ignorance?

Or fearless?

The reason why he chased dangerous creatures like aliens was purely for power and to enjoy the process of climbing to the top.

And Lu Li, a humanoid monster with an unknown amount of power in his body, was going around in circles in order to make money and return to Earth.

At the beginning, he boarded the Tinder to accumulate experience, but now he agreed to cooperate with him to buy a spaceship.

All the clues are connected together.

Many incomprehensible places can also be explained.

Frankly speaking, Boss Luo felt that this life goal was too absurd.

"The Nemesis galaxy was developed more than 4,000 years ago. As far as I know, the name has a deep meaning, but the high-level alliance has never disclosed what it is.

As for the mother planet Earth... It has long been forgotten by history, and no one knows where it is. According to family records, it is in a place called the Laniakea supercluster of galaxies. "

Lost in memory, Luo Yue looked at the gradually thinning crowd below the building, and sighed: "But when I was young, I searched through the star map, but I couldn't find this super galaxy cluster, not even a similar one."

"Perhaps, it has turned into an inconspicuous firework in the vast universe."

a planet.

Although it is of great significance and gave birth to human beings, there will always be a day when resources will be exhausted. Perhaps the era of the big universe has come because of this.

With the passage of time, the rapid development of science and technology, the speed of human colonization has increased exponentially, and it has finally been forgotten, and occasionally someone will remember and cherish it.

Or, to put it more pessimistically.

The earth died, and the star it orbited entered the end of its life and turned into an explosive supernova. Under the shock radiation, the entire galaxy was turned into a relic.

In order to convince Lu Li not to be stupid again and let him follow him, Boss Luo added: "The Nemesis galaxy has a maximum diameter of 220,000 light-years. The company's most advanced spaceship can travel at twenty times the speed of light. Its price is 100 million Fifty million credits, bare metal, no escape pod or ejection pod."

On the side, Lu Li stroked the armrest with his fingers. He thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Roche creatures only have a strong control over the surrounding planets, and they are nothing in the alliance. The galaxies have migrated here, and there is no reason why they cannot go out.

As you said, technology is developing rapidly. No. 216 is a third-class star that has just been upgraded, and there are many planets that are more advanced than it in the Alliance. The spaceships produced by these planets will travel faster. . "

This time, it was Luo Yue's turn to be speechless. After spending so much time talking, he still failed to persuade Lu Li to give up this unrealistic idea.

But if you think about it carefully, it can be regarded as a mistake.

"Then, in order to be able to buy a spaceship capable of interstellar travel, we have to work together."

A hand stretched out.

"You know, with the current size of Luo's creature, even if it is packaged and sold, it can't afford that kind of high-end product." Luo Yue laughed at herself.

In the past, he firmly believed that Luo Shi could help Lu Li realize his dream, and that everyone could help each other, but looking at it now, it was too far away.

"Well, selling health products is not enough."

It was rare for Lu Li to let go of his guard, and made a joke.

Because, he really couldn't forget the paradoxical scene on the giant screen where the lady in kimono was singing and selling medicine.
