Chapter 11 Reception
"Reception?" Song Xiao lacked interest.

"Don't underestimate the Tianting reception, it is the best platform for us to expand our network and make friends in the field!"

Wang Peng explained to Song Xiao on the other end.

"Don't think that practitioners can't use these, the world's sophistication exists everywhere!"

"Let me give you the simplest example. For example, if you encounter difficulties in cultivation, you may not be able to solve them by yourself for a few years."

"But if you happen to know a big brother, he will make you suddenly understand with a few words..."

"Oh!" Song Xiao didn't refute, after all, Wang Peng also had good intentions.

So he didn't have the nerve to say that he had never encountered any difficulties in cultivation since he was a child.

This will not offend others, it will only make people think he is arrogant.

In fact, apart from being poor, Song Xiao has always been smooth in other aspects.

"By the way, there is one more thing..."

Wang Peng reminded over there: "A while ago, the first department recruited three newcomers who were about the same age as you, and Li Xuan, the section chief, valued them very much."

"But I heard that they are quite proud, young people, you know..."

Wang Peng said with a smile: "Since you have decided that you don't want to be in the limelight, you should just keep a low profile."

"If they want to say something unpleasant in front of you, don't take it to heart."

"No problem, thank you, Brother Wang." Song Xiao followed suit with kindness.

He has seen a lot of arrogant young people in Peking University. In the words of one of his classmates: Who is not a champion?
"Our director Huang will be there tonight, and many big figures in the practice world will also be here, as well as the Mr. Su who recommended you..."

"Don't lose points in front of those big guys."

"Understood!" Song Xiao said.

"Then see you tonight!"

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, Song Xiao thought about it, grabbed a handful of crystal sand, and continued to practice.

He is already so handsome, and he is not a star who relies on his image to make a living.

There is nothing to prepare for.

Always leave a way for others.

He's in the mood right now, like his girlfriend just agreed to watch the sunrise together.

How can I think about anything else?

The day goes by quickly.

In the evening, Wang Peng called again.

"where?"

"hotel."

"Hotel?" Wang Peng said in surprise, "No, brother, you are so calm! Don't tell me you haven't gone out all day?"

"Ah."

"Damn it, is there a girl sleeping next to you? Young people, please exercise restraint!"

"I'm not that kind of person!"

"All right, all right, you are upright! Pack up quickly and go downstairs in 15 minutes."

Song Xiao curled her lips, feeling unwilling in her heart.

Broaden your network, make friends with bigwigs, first integrate into a certain circle, and then slowly build your own circle... He understands all this!

The question is... does it fit?
The four words of being well-matched are not just used to describe marriage.

In his current state, even if he went to a high-end reception where big bosses gathered, there is a high probability that he would be—

More than 20 years old... standing like a minion.

It's better to stay in a hotel and practice.

Last night and today, Song Xiao felt that her realm had been greatly improved!
The golden light that bloomed has faintly begun to show a restrained trend!

The good foundation that Master had laid for him over the years finally began to explode.

It's a wonderful feeling.

If he didn't have to go out to socialize, he even wanted to use up this bag of crystal sand in one go!
Try whether you can step into the second realm of the Golden Body Sutra in one fell swoop.

pity.

He may not care about this reception, but he still has to care about Wang Peng, a colleague who has just experienced life and death together.

After a simple wash and dry hair, the whole person is suddenly full of energy and vitality!
Sunny and handsome.

After going downstairs and waiting for a while, Wang Peng appeared in front of him in that broken off-road vehicle.

After Song Xiao got into the car, Wang Peng looked him up and down, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You just wear this?"

"Can't you?" Song Xiao said.

"Okay!" Wang Peng stepped on the gas pedal with black lines all over his head.

Song Xiao looked at Wang Peng who was looking for a gap in the traffic jam, and said with a smile, "It's just a reception, there's no need to be extravagant, aren't you just like me?"

Wang Peng curled his lips: "Can you compare with me? I just killed the hero of the third-level monster!"

Song Xiao adjusted the chair, found the most comfortable angle for herself, and said haha ​​casually: "Ah, yes, yes, yes..."

"Song Xiao." Wang Peng's expression suddenly became serious.

"Ok?"

"Thank you!"

Wang Peng manipulated the cross-country all the way to overtake in a snake shape, and said in a very serious tone: "The points for killing monsters this time will allow me to have enough time to learn a new advanced exercise on the second floor!"

"Our Tianting Library still has a second floor?" Song Xiao asked solemnly.

"Fuck! There's still a third floor!"

Wang Peng understood in seconds, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

It felt like there was a dirty heart hidden under this kid's sunny and handsome appearance.

But being interrupted by Song Xiao like this, he couldn't be serious anymore.

But he still said with emotion: "To be honest, I really thank you this time, no matter for saving your life or for killing monsters..."

"Brother Wang, it's boring for you to say that. Didn't you tell me to run away at the first time?"

"Okay, we brothers will see you in the future!"

Wang Peng successfully overtook a car that was driving at a slow speed again, and said: "The field work of the Tianting is generally united."

"But after all, they are practitioners who need resources. In the future...don't give credit to others."

"And being too low-key will make people think that you are easy to bully. When you should be tough, you have to be tough."

"Well, I see." Song Xiao nodded.

He was a little embarrassed, not to mention the value of the bag of crystal sand, but the storage bag was far more than the task reward for killing a third-level demon.

Wang Peng did earn a lot of points and fame, but the real benefits were all for him!

The two rushed to the scene quickly.

A high-end clubhouse full of modern atmosphere.

When getting out of the car, Wang Peng handed Song Xiao an invitation letter: "I will use it later when I enter the door. The reception in the heaven is only by invitation."

Song Xiao took it over and took a look. The workmanship was exquisite, with his name written on it, and a serial number in the lower right corner.

His is 96, glanced at Wang Peng's, number 58.

Then the two showed their invitation letter and entered the clubhouse.

There were already quite a few people in the gorgeous and spacious hall of the clubhouse, some acquaintances gathered together, chatting and laughing in low voices.

It's a bit like a buffet party, where all kinds of exquisite snacks and food are neatly placed on long tables that are within easy reach.

The service staff carried trays full of drinks and shuttled back and forth among the crowd.

Although she didn't deliberately dress up and only wore casual clothes, Song Xiao's tall and tall figure and outstanding appearance still attracted the attention of many people the moment she entered.

Several newcomers in the first department also noticed Song Xiao who came in with Wang Peng for the first time.

"He's a new recruit from the second department? He's a handsome guy from the abstinence department! I just like this kind of frigid-looking man!"

A beautiful woman with an enchanting figure, bolder clothes, and bolder speech looked at Song Xiao with a smile and said.

She is the only woman among the three newcomers, her name is Chen Lu, and she has a bold and unrestrained style on weekdays.

The other two were suddenly a little unhappy. One of them, a handsome young man with gray hair, snorted and said, "Chen Lu, do you women only look at faces?"

The beautiful woman nodded seriously: "Yes, yes, of course I only look at the face at this moment."

now? ? ?
Chen Yangxu, with gray hair dyed, was speechless, and said: "I heard that his ability is broken, the eye of truth, isn't this the opening of the eye of the sky, and he can see the dead?"

"Is this stuff considered ability?"

Another tall and handsome young man, Yang Ting, who was wearing a formal dress, said with a smile, "Why doesn't it count? You can tell people about things!"

Chen Yangxu smacked his lips: "The child is frightened and calls him Huner?"

Yang Ting nodded seriously: "Yes, this is also a skill!"

Chen Lu, with long wavy hair and flaming red lips, rolled her eyes at the two of them, and said, "You two are almost enough, there is no weak person who can enter the heaven, don't underestimate people!"

Zheng Ting had also come here at this time and was chatting with a few people. When he saw Song Xiao and Wang Peng, he immediately waved to them.

"Xiao Song, Wang Peng, this way!"

Then he smiled and said to the people around him: "Song Xiao, we are a newcomer in the second department, a very outstanding young man!"

Several people smiled at Song Xiao, their attitudes were quite friendly, but also with a hint of scrutiny and alienation.

They had heard before that a young man was recommended to the second department by a big shot.

Abilities are "Unbreakable" and "Eye of Reality".

To be honest, opening the eyes of the sky is really nothing in the eyes of practitioners.

"Song Xiao, let me introduce you!"

"This is Zhang Jing, who is good at fire magic!"

"This is our little prince of thunder and lightning, Li Dongpeng!"

"There's no need to worry about the beauty of the water system with her in the desert... Li Shan!"

"The mighty Bai Shanqi and Liu Hao!"

Zheng Ting introduced Song Xiao one by one with enthusiasm.

Song Xiao greeted each of them very modestly.

"Hello Brother Zhang, Hello Brother Li, Hello Sister Li, Hello Brother Bai and Brother Liu!"

If you don't hit the smiling person with your hand, don't care what you think in your heart. With his attitude, a few "old people" in the second department are naturally embarrassed to show their faces.

They all responded kindly.

After Zheng Ting introduced Song Xiao to a few colleagues from the second department who came today, he took him around the spacious hall slowly.

Secretly point out to him some people who do not belong to the Heavenly Court but have a detached status.

For example, a young man in casual clothes, sitting in a corner quietly drinking and playing games.

Zheng Ting said that this person's surname was Li, and he was like this when he first entered the Heavenly Court.

Now that many years have passed, Mr. Li is still the same, nothing has changed.

It should be a big monk!
Song Xiao looked at it from a distance, and the young man seemed to feel something, raised his head, smiled at Song Xiao and Zheng Ting, and nodded slightly.

Then he lowered his head and continued playing.

Song Xiao's eyes are very good, seeing the other party seems to be playing with the king.

Thieves 6!

Zhengda kills the Quartet.

The voice came out faintly - penta kill!

It really is detached and has a lot of personality!
Drinking and playing games alone on this occasion.

Zheng Ting brought Song Xiao to the first department again, found Li Xuan, the chief of the department, and said with a smile: "This is Song Xiao, a newcomer from my side, take him here to get to know the people from your side, and we can also have a Take care."

Li Xuan looks a little grinning, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and has a gentle manner.

Smiling, he looked Song Xiao up and down, and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say!"

When Chen Yangxu and Yang Ting saw Song Xiao approaching, they looked at each other, smiled, and walked towards Song Xiao with their cups.

First, Chen Yangxu stepped forward to greet Song Xiao.

Song Xiao casually took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, and signaled to him.

"Hello, Song Xiao!"

"Chen Yangxu."

Chen Yangxu looked at Song Xiao with a smile on his face and asked seriously: "I heard that you know how to judge things, can you do the math for me?"

Song Xiao froze for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Sorry, I'm not good at this."

Yang Ting on the side came over with a smile: "My name is Yang Ting, I heard that you can see the wind, can you find a chance to perform for us?"

Zheng Ting frowned slightly, while Li Xuan still watched with a smile.

Song Xiao calmly looked at Chen Yangxu and Yang Ting, and was about to speak when a beautiful woman in a dress with slits and white long legs came over and said with a smile, "Don't pay attention to them, they are just jealous of your handsomeness! "

Both Chen Yangxu and Yang Ting were speechless.

The woman smiled like a flower, holding a wine glass, said: "My name is Chen Lu, nice to meet you!"

Song Xiao smiled, picked up the wine glass, and touched it lightly: "Thank you."

At this time, there was a sudden slight commotion in the hall.

Someone whispered: "Mr. Jiang is here!"

Song Xiao looked towards the door following the sound, and a middle-aged man with a strong aura walked in surrounded by a group of people.

Many people stood up and greeted them directly.

Yang Ting and Chen Yangxu didn't care about continuing to tease Song Xiao, and looked over there.

Yang Ting whispered to Chen Yangxu: "Jiang Daoming, the vice president of Jiang's chaebol, the sole heir of Jiang's chaebol, a real big shot!"

Wang Peng suddenly came over and pulled Song Xiao away, and cast a dissatisfied look at Yang Ting and Chen Yangxu.

He saw the scene just now, and really wanted to give these two ignorant young people a hard time, and then scold them for being blind!

Zheng Ting took the opportunity to pull Li Xuan aside, and said in a low voice, "Turn back to the person who takes care of you."

Li Xuan pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile: "That's not mine, we belong to the internal staff, they are all field staff, and are under the supervision of the chief director, who will let us dictate?"

"Besides, they are all young people. It is a good thing to have a sense of competition. Lions cannot be raised in a flock of sheep."

Zheng Ting glanced at him: "Okay, don't come and call me if you suffer later."

Li Xuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, definitely not!"

Wang Peng pulled Song Xiao aside, still looking angry.

Song Xiao said with a smile: "Didn't we agree, why are you still angry? It's just that you were looked down upon, and you didn't suffer."

Wang Peng said: "They don't know your true ability, otherwise who would dare to treat you with this attitude?"

"It doesn't matter, no matter how big it is, you can't take it out for others to see at any time, right?"

Wang Peng was stunned for a moment, then suppressed a smile, and shook his head speechlessly: "You kid..."

Song Xiao really didn't take this matter to heart, he wanted to end it sooner and go back to practice!
What happened to him when he was a child was much worse than this. If he wanted to worry about everything, he might have died of aggrieved long ago.

Then the two found a corner and chatted casually.

During this process, Song Xiao noticed that the "big man" Jiang Daoming seemed to be looking at him several times inadvertently.

He also took a special look around and saw that there were no other people.

I feel a little strange in my heart, what is the other party looking at him for?
When Mr. Su appeared at the reception tonight, Jiang Daoming immediately stood up to greet him, and warmly greeted him.

It can be seen that Jiang Daoming seems to respect Mr. Su very much!

Did Mr. Su mention himself to him?
Then I laughed at myself: Which onion are you?

Just as he was thinking, a young man who was following Mr. Su suddenly came towards Song Xiao.

This move attracted the secret attention of many people present.

Song Xiao took a look, isn't this the "Master" brother?

Thinking in his heart, he stood up and greeted with a smile: "Meet you again."

"Master" the little brother walked up to Song Xiao, showed a kind smile, and said, "I heard that you made meritorious service when you first came here? Very good, I'm happy for you!"

Song Xiao responded politely: "Thank you!"

Brother "Master" nodded: "Do it well, if you have anything to do, you can find me over there."

After speaking, he turned and left.

This scene was watched by many people.

Including Jiang Daoming, vice president of the Jiang chaebol, who was chatting with Mr. Su.

Chen Yangxu stood not far away, with his lips curled up in disdain, and he muttered in a low voice: "Cut, there is only one related person who goes through the back door! Tianting's field work relies on strength, not thicker thighs!"

Yang Ting nodded in agreement: "That's right, there is no boss to protect you when you are on a mission!"

Chen Lu didn't speak, but took a deep look at the handsome young man who continued to sit in the corner, chatting and laughing with Wang Peng calmly.
