Chapter 273: Various People at the Cocktail Party

"Mr. Sam, why are you waiting here?"

Amber said hello to the galaxy administrative deputy while helping Isabel out of the car.

"Mr. Rebir, you are an important guest at tonight's celebration banquet. Moreover, Atlas will have in-depth cooperation with the Rubion galaxy autonomous government for a long time in the future. As the administrative deputy in charge of the construction sector, it is more appropriate for me to wait for you here."

Sam looked at Amber and said with a smile. Compared with the last time they met, this time the administrative deputy seemed more enthusiastic.

He looked at Isabel, who stood beside Amber and held his arm after getting off the car, and a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.

Or it can be said that there is no man who can not secretly envy Amber in his heart after seeing Isabel.

As Amber's female companion tonight, Isabel can be said to have spent a lot of effort to dress up.

According to her, ‘I must become the most dazzling woman in the audience, worthy of the chairman of Atlas’.

The black evening dress on her body showed a little bit of luster under the refraction of the light, just like wearing the bright stars on her body.

The whole dress fits her graceful figure tightly, outlining Isabel’s flexible and curvy figure.

The hem falls to the ground with smooth pleats, and as she moves lightly, it is like a blooming black rose, luxurious and agile.

As the ‘young lady’ of the imperial nobility, her well-maintained skin looks even whiter and jade-like under the background of the dress, forming a sharp contrast with the dark dress, showing a low-key and luxurious temperament.

In addition, after the genetic optimization engineering adjustment of the nobles of the Star Dragon Empire, each of them has a very good appearance, which can be said to be quite good.

However, whether it is Sam or the guards and staff around him, they just secretly glanced at it and quickly retracted their gaze.

Because they know very well that the man standing next to Isabel is not a good person.

Who knows if this man will rush up and slap me to death just because I looked at his female companion for a second longer?

After all, this kind of thing has happened on this planet before.

Soon, Sam led the two of them to the huge mansion in the manor, and the accompanying escort vehicles parked in the parking lot waiting.

Although Amber hoped that these crews would go back and have a good rest first, these guys said nothing and were completely unwilling to leave their boss alone here.

"Boss, we escorted you out, and we must also escort you back safely."

The temporary commander of the escort team said so.

In this case, Amber could only ask Sam to let the manor provide food to these soldiers.

The administrative adjutant who heard this request waved his hand and asked some of the people in the back kitchen to come outside to serve them on the spot.

"Well, you don't have to do this, Mr. Sam, you make me a little embarrassed."

Facing the extremely enthusiastic administrative adjutant, Amber naturally understood his enthusiasm, which was more from the in-depth cooperation that Atlas was about to launch with the autonomous government of the Rubion galaxy.

"It doesn't matter. I told you, Mr. Rebir, that you are the most important guest tonight. I must let you experience the enthusiasm of our Rubion Galaxy Autonomous Government."

Sam laughed heartily, and led the two to the main building in the manor, a retro-style mansion.

Because he was going to attend the celebration party, the administrative adjutant also changed into a more solemn and majestic men's evening dress.

However, in terms of clothing style, it is still the "new military power" style preferred by federal officials.

The dress he wore was like a flag that blended the classics and the future. It retained the solemnity and ritual sense of the dress, and incorporated the characteristics of military and technological elements.

The coat was made of black wool blended material, and faint reflective lines were woven into it, which could show a wonderful metallic texture under the refraction of light.

These slightly shimmering textures are also the unique luster of this type of high-tech fabrics.

Compared to the luxurious style preferred by federal tycoons, federal officials would wear this kind of clothing that embodies a strong "pragmatism" and "elitism" style no matter what occasion they attend.

In this regard, Amber's aesthetics are closer to theirs. He himself really likes this kind of clothing that is traditional but also very technological.

Just like the men's dress he is wearing now.

In the process of getting along with Amber, Isabel has already figured out this man's XP and preferences.

So when preparing the dress in advance, it is also matched according to Amber's favorite style. This also made Amber say "Isabel knows me" after seeing this dress before, and the lady rewarded her fiercely.

The place where Amber got off the car was not far from the location of the mansion, so the three of them did not spend much time to walk into this mansion that looked ordinary on the outside.

The moment he entered the main hall of the mansion, Amber was directly stunned by the luxury of these federal chaebols.

Because humans cannot imagine things they have never seen, it is difficult for the art team of "Starry Sky OL" to break away from the shadow of the real world when designing some human buildings and art styles in the game.

And in this world that Amber guessed was "generated" based on the game, these styles were also inherited.

Even so, Amber had to sigh that the rich people in the Federation lived completely different lives from ordinary people.

The magnificent and cost-effective decoration almost put the words "I am rich" in Amber's face.

And those waiters wearing golden masks and tuxedos kept shuttling between the visiting guests.

Obviously, the owner of this manor, like most of the "superiors" in the Federation and the Empire, prefers to use professionally trained human waiters to serve themselves rather than cold intelligent machines.

In the eyes of some "superiors", using real humans to serve them will give them a kind of high-level pleasure similar to "class superiority"

At present, although Rubion No. 5 has suffered a lot of war, the real sufferers are still the grassroots civilians.

For these wealthy classes, except for some fluctuations in their investment assets or damage to a certain real estate in the battle, there seems to be no other impact.

There was constant gunfire in the front, and there was singing and dancing in the back. Even after the battle, they could immediately hold a celebration party.

This was just a small chaebol on the planet Rubion V.

In Amber's previous life, his social status might be at the level of "an outstanding entrepreneur in a small town".

If it were a federal head chaebol in the capital galaxy, Amber couldn't imagine what these people could do.

"It feels like a nouveau riche in the countryside, and they can't wait to let everyone know that the owner of this room is very rich."

Isabel, who walked into the hall with Amber's hand, commented sharply.

"I think it's similar to your manor, with this kind of luxurious decoration, and a bunch of expensive decorations."

Hearing Isabel's sharp comments, Amber said while carefully feeling the squeezing of two soft slimes on her arms.

"No, no, no, Amber, if you say that, the designer of our family manor will be very wronged."

"Why? Your manor is very well designed?"

"Of course, the artistic attainments of our Ains family are much higher than those bumpkins."

Hearing Isabel's words, Amber wanted to hear about the design of Isabel's family manor.

But now this time and this occasion are not suitable for talking about these things.

As a hot figure who has been in the limelight on Rubion V recently, when Amber took Isabel into the hall, his identity, coupled with this combination of "handsome men and beautiful women", immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Tsk, this kind of occasion."

"Why? You don't like it?" Isabel looked at Amber with some curiosity.

This man, who can handle any occasion with ease on weekdays, seems a little uncomfortable now.

"Hmm~"

Amber nodded. With his current psychological quality, it is naturally no problem to handle such occasions, but he is still lacking in experience.

After all, he had never participated in such a "high-class" event in his previous life. The only similar experience he had was to attend the company's annual meeting and win the "Sunshine" award.

"Then you have to strengthen your study in this area." Isabel said calmly, facing the eyes of others.

"Why should I learn these dregs?"

"With the gradual growth of Atlas, such occasions will probably be inevitable in the future."

Isabel's words made Amber fall into thinking, because she was right.

Atlas will inevitably expand its business everywhere in the future. Isn't business something that is negotiated bit by bit?

So there will definitely be cocktail parties like today, or other types of social events.

But obviously, this is not what Amber wants to do. He doesn't want to waste his time in these decadent and glamorous things.

"I've decided. Atlas still needs to set up a special public relations department."

"Male or female public relations?"

"Both are needed to cope with different scenarios."

While the two of them were talking calmly about the establishment of Atlas's follow-up departments, Alex, the chief executive of the Rubion Autonomous Government, who initiated the celebration party, also began to speak.

The content was similar to what Amber had guessed, and it was nothing more than the usual set of words used by the federal government.

For example, 'Under our superior system, we successfully organized a counterattack and repelled the imperial invasion army.'

Another example is 'Today's victory is inseparable from the support of everyone present, and the galaxy government is proud of you'.

To be honest, when Amber heard this, he once again refreshed his perception of the shamelessness of these people.

In addition to him, there were also representatives from several larger private military companies present today.

Amber admitted that although these people were a bit green, they did shed blood and sweat on the battlefield, and they deserved what Chief Executive Alex said.

But what about the others? These high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen who are dressed in fancy clothes and look so noble, can they deserve this sentence?

The coalition's final victory has nothing to do with them?

Although he was angry, Amber knew that he should not expose this emotion at this time, so he suppressed this emotion in his heart and almost listened to Alex's speech with a stiff upper lip.

After the galaxy chief executive's speech, the next step was the free exchange session of this cocktail party.

Almost as soon as Chief Executive Alex left the microphone, a large group of people immediately surrounded Amber.

The news that the Atlas Group will take over 70% of the reconstruction projects in the severely damaged areas of the planet has spread on Lubion 5 in the past two days, and these businessmen obviously smell the profits from this huge project.

Today's occasion also gave them the opportunity to make friends with Amber and get a share of the project.

But these guys obviously didn't know that when the Chief Executive was speaking, Amber's favorable impression of these people had dropped to negative.

In other words, from the beginning, he had no good impression of these capitalists who were hiding behind and only knew how to make more money.

And after this group of people hit the wall one after another, they also saw that this 'outsider' seemed to have little interest in them.

Until this time, these people still believed that Amber's gesture was mainly because Atlas looked down on local companies like them.

Soon, the crowd that surrounded Amber like hyenas quickly dispersed.

Just because they hit a wall here in Amber doesn't mean they have no other ways to make money in the reconstruction project.

So these wealthy businessmen quickly brought together some officials of the galaxy's autonomous government, gathered together in twos and threes, and began to discuss.

Isabel naturally saw Amber's unhappiness, so she held her arm and walked to the window in the hall.

"You"

The imperial noble lady looked at her lover, smiled and shook her head, then came to him and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"Amber, please rest here for a while. It seems that I have to take action at this time~"

"What are you going to do?"

"Here, have you seen those ladies over there?" Isabel raised her chin and pointed towards a group of luxuriously dressed 'ladies' in the distance.

As a result, Amber, who 'didn't forget her original intention', looked directly down her slender neck and slid into a deep place.

After discovering that Amber was still as crooked as before in this state, Isabel pinched his arm angrily.

"You guy, it's true."

"Ahem. What's wrong with that wife group?" Amber scratched her head in embarrassment and brought the topic back.

"I did some research before I came here, so I recognized their faces now. These people are the wives of high-ranking government officials and chaebols in the Lubion system.

Although I know you are unhappy, if Atlas wants to take root on Rubian 5 in the future, it will still need to deal with these local snakes, at least in the early stage. "

Isabel turned around, pressed closely against Amber, and then put his big hands on her waist.

"But I don't want to deal with those fat men, and I also know that you guys will definitely be jealous, so I'm going to start with those ladies."

"Are you sure? After all, the situation in the Federation is different from that in your empire."

Amber whispered in Isabel's ear, and at the same time, she couldn't help but rub her with her big hands.

Isabel’s evening gown was made of unknown material, but Amber felt that it felt quite flattering.

"Don't worry, the topic between women is eternal and will not change depending on the country."

After leaving these words, Isabel pulled away and left.

Then, under Amber's gaze, she integrated into this "wives group" at an absurd speed, and took control of the discourse and began to lead the rhythm of the chat.

The frequent bursts of laughter made the people around him look sideways from time to time.

Amber, who was idle, leaned against the window and looked at the people at the reception like a bystander.

Soon, he saw a familiar face in a corner.

——

Franklin Abraham, the intern of the Senate of the Lubion Galaxy Autonomous Government, also came to the reception today under the leadership of the Senate President, the administrative deputy Sam.

Because the special operations team specifically reported on the deeds of this group of young people headed by Franklin during the process of submitting the combat report.

At the same time, Baninger also emphasized that the communication node that the special operations team first invaded was the location provided by Franklin.

Therefore, this Senate intern was also commended and promoted by Sam and took him by his side. It can be said that he has a bright future.

However, this young man was standing in a corner of the hall in a daze at this moment.

Looking at the government officials and business elites mingling at the cocktail party, he felt that he seemed a little out of place with these people.

Chief Executive Alex's previous speech, coupled with the surrounding crowd's talk about how to profit from the reconstruction project, made this 'quasi-republican' doubt for the first time whether his choice of 'entering politics' was the right path. .

"Franklin Abraham?"

Just when the young man was confused, a voice sounded next to him.

He turned his head and looked around him, only to see a man with a temperament that didn't seem to match the drinking party standing next to him.

And he had seen that face on the news too many times in the past few days.

"Mr. Rebel! Hello, do you know me?"

Amber looked at the young man in front of her and sighed in her heart, this is more than just acquaintance.

Franklin Abraham, a name full of elements, coupled with his typical "elite" politician face, made it difficult for Amber to forget it.

But the most important thing is the identity of this young man in the plot-the future president of the Federation, although he will have to wait many years before he can challenge the throne of the Federal President.

To be honest, Amber did not expect that she would run into this future "Mr. President" here.

When Baninger and his team reported, he once thought that they were people with the same name and surname. It was not until he saw the pictures in the combat record that he was sure that he really ran into them.

"Don't be so nervous. I know you. The people in the special operations team mentioned you to me. You are very brave. In my opinion, you are more like a man of blood than most men in this hall."

"Mr. Rebil, you are too kind. I just did some insignificant things."

Amber's words made Franklin feel a little embarrassed.

If he felt that he was very brave when he led his companions to harass the imperial troops before, after seeing Baninger and his team fighting deep behind enemy lines.

Franklin realized what a real man is.

Amber and Franklin, two "outsiders" at the celebration party, quickly started chatting.

In terms of age, Amber is actually not much older than Franklin. The two can even be said to be of the same age, so they do have a lot of topics to talk about.

And Amber's physique as a "cosmic succubus" also began to work again.

Franklin didn't know why, but after just chatting for a while, he felt that Amber was a trustworthy "comrade".

This made him unable to help but confide in Amber about his feelings at the party.

"It's obviously a victory celebration party, but few of the frontline soldiers who should be treated as heroes can come to the scene.

Instead, a large number of government officials and businessmen gathered here. What did these people pay when the war broke out?

And the chief executive's speech only mentioned the cruelty of the battle and the sacrifices made by the frontline soldiers in a small part.

Then a large amount of space was used for post-war reconstruction and investment projects.

If this is the case, then this party should not be called a "victory celebration party" from the beginning!"

Franklin became more and more excited, and Amber, who was standing aside and listening, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

He really didn't expect this kid to be so bold. If this was heard by other people in the galaxy autonomous government, he would have to be "reported".

By then, his political career may have come to an end before it even began.

"I agree with what you said, but I must remind you that if you want to continue to work in politics in the future, try not to say such things in front of other people."

"I know, Mr. Rebir, but I didn't want to go on. The gap between reality and my ideal is too big."

Franklin lowered his head in frustration. What happened during this period was obviously a big shock to this rookie, and even refreshed his worldview.

Amber could imagine how much shock a young man who was full of enthusiasm to serve the country would feel when he saw that his "country" was actually like this.

"Thank you, Mr. Rebir, it was a pleasure and rewarding to chat with you. I'll take my leave first."

Franklin bowed slightly to Amber, then put down the wine glass in his hand, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Why, are you going to leave like this? Since the gap between this country and your ideal is so big, why don't you try to change it?"

The young man stopped.
