C19 Deceitful

Night fell.

Zhao Shuqi was still sitting in front of the window. Only the LED bulb in the middle of the room, which was more than a hundred square meters long, glowed, reflecting off the polished black marble floor to every corner, reflecting another world through the French windows — the room was even more spacious and eerie.

The red robe in the mug had changed, but it was still cold.

At this moment, the glass door of the room opened and a cold beauty with heels walked in. She faced the back of her boss with an expression that could be described as devout. She bowed and said, "Boss, the customers are here."

If it was said that Gongsun Family was based on the enjoyment of luxury, then the Zhao Family which was also a big family in Binhai City followed the principle of hedonism.

The Zhao Group was the number one powerhouse in the electronic industry of Binhai City. They mainly developed some civil technology, such as mobile phones, balanced vehicles, broadband boxes, indoor temperature automatic adjustment systems, and other electronic and technological products that could make life easier for humans. In the past, the leading position in the civil electronics and technology industry belonged to a research company called "Fruit". However, ever since the fruit was purchased by the Zhao family five years ago, there were no more "fruits" in the world.

Maybe someone would be curious. Why would a company with so much technology and so many fans fall back to being acquired?" The reason was simple. As a company based on technology development, fruit is short in both industry management and market competition. The founder of the company was just a bunch of geezers. To Zhao, who had been in the business world since the last century, the fruits were like those of a three year old child.

If Guo Zhenyu really wants to develop an artificial intelligence secretary that can beat Siri, working with Zhao would be the smartest choice. In many novels, the villains committed all sorts of evil deeds and had their own flaws. Even in some third-rate novels, the villains were directly portrayed as brainless.

Unfortunately, this isn't a novel. Mr Zhao, the enemy, is so powerful that even a family-run management system is far from having the poor predictions of an economist.

"I really don't think Zhao Shuqi is simple." Guo Zhenyu said. Shan Shan, you suspect that Gongsun Ye and Zhao Shuqi are in cahoots? I think maybe Gongsun Ye is Zhao Shuqi's pawn. "

Gongsun Shanshan only answered with a vague "En".

As they spoke, they had crossed a path. It's not really appropriate to call it a path. This was a glass corridor, just like an ocean pavilion. However, behind the glass windows on both sides were not fish and water, but a greenhouse planted with tropical butterfly orchids, arhat bamboos, and even banyan trees. There were streams on the ground, moving slowly. Occasionally, a squirrel would run to the window and stare blankly at the people walking past. The alloy frame at the glass junction was carved with information about the various plants in the greenhouse. The plants were planted together miraculously, despite the difference in latitude between the two plants being 40 degrees. This was the technology that the Zhao Group was currently most proud of — weather control.

The technology is currently being developed in partnership with the military. The billboard reads that Zhao is continuing to research and expand the latitude of the plant's protoplasts. It would be best if the Cambrian Trilobite could be resurrected and raised in the rain forest.

The greenhouse was named "Biosphere 3," and in addition to paying homage to the famed failed Biosphere 2 experiment project, there was a hint of provocation in it.

As he left the path, the scenery in front of him became even more bizarre, as if he had teleported from a rainforest to a laboratory in the future.

This was the venue for the royal ball. The entire hall was decorated with silver, aluminum, and titanium decorations. Multifunctional seats can be automatically massaged and called to the console to deliver wine and snacks to messengers in roller skates.

All kinds of advanced civil life products are available everywhere.

This is hedonism.

"I've long heard of the Zhao Corporation's Science and Technology Life Experience Library, but I don't have the money to come here." Walking with the beauty beside him, Guo Zhenyu sat down in a multifunctional resting area in the corner. He lowered his voice and said, "I didn't expect that the inauguration celebration dinner would be held here."

Guo Zhenyu was wearing a custom-made French suit. At Gongsun Shanshan's insistent request, it was all black. The shirt was sky-blue, the cuff links diamond-shaped white crystal silver. Guo Zhenyu was wearing a suit that was claimed to be made by a world-class designer. Plus, he looked like a rich and handsome guy, as he had been forced into a styling shop by Gongsun Shanshan. His originally handsome face now looked even more attractive, to the point that the moment he stepped into the hall, Guo Zhenyu could feel the heated gazes from some females looking at him. Accompanied by these gazes were the system's prompting voice: "You have gained 20 Friendship Points … "You received 10 points of Friendship Points …"

The girl sitting across from him was wearing a vanilla skirting gown. The wheat braid was exquisite and simple. The hem of the dress was adorned with Swallow Schmidt crystals and the hair of the golden waterfall was extremely large.

The waves had come down and a lily was stuck in her hair.

From beginning to end, Guo Zhenyu was muttering to himself.

Zhao Shuqi stood at the highest and most secluded place in the entire banquet hall, quietly watching a man and a woman in the corner. In his ears, he was wearing an eavesdropping set as he listened to the conversation of all the guests.

How clever, Shan, to know that I could probably put a bug on in addition to the camera, so tell this woman not to make a sound, right?

Zhao Shuqi shifted his gaze to the other corner where there was a golden waterfall.

Waves, wearing a Swarovski vanilla crystal skirting gown, a tall, perfectly built girl.

Today, there were two Gongsun Shanshan's. He could guess who the other woman was — Qian Xianrou, who was also one of Xia Xiyue's old subordinates, had left due to dissatisfaction with the family business and was now Gongsun Shanshan's right-hand woman.

As expected of the woman he took a fancy to. Hehe, so it's like that. Know him. He was sure that he would announce the engagement today, so he came out with "True and Fake Monkey King". For a moment he didn't know how to respond.

A cold female voice came out of the headset, "Boss, something's wrong with the guests tonight. "I'm sorry, but we are currently looking into …"

"I know, Jessica," Zhao Shuqi said with a warm smile, even though no one was around. The smile was his disguise, but he had never taken it off, no matter who came after him. "Do you believe that there are two Gongsun Shanshan's?"
