Protocol Refinement [Wearing the Book]

The very important person Shen Cizhou mentioned was an old nurse who needed [-] points.

He was still a thousand points short, but the opportunity to send points came soon, and the system's old machine-like interface released a new task.

[Go to Meng's house to attend the birthday banquet, take actions to anger Meng Xu, and you will get the achievement: Precarious marriage contract]

【Points earned: 2000】

"This task is good." Ji Linge laughed out loud when he heard the content of the task, "Not only are the rewards generous, but it's also very simple."

He may have been considering where to place his fist on Meng Xu's body.

Shen Cizhou turned on his phone and glanced at WeChat. The message Meng Xu sent last time was still explaining the incident about Senior Liu for Shen Yingzhi.

【Not worthy of being a dog: He cried for a long time】

[Not worthy of being a dog: I think it's a misunderstanding, Ci Zhou, are you overthinking it?]

【SHEN: As long as you are happy [smile.jpg]】

Ji Linge laughed out loud when he saw Meng Xu's note, "You don't even want to call him a dog, it seems that my status is not bad."

Shen Cizhou: "There's no need to compare with him."

The chat interface was still stuck on the little yellow face with a smile on his face, Shen Cizhou didn't receive Meng Xu's invitation, and Grandpa Meng's birthday banquet should be tonight.

Electronic invitations are more convenient these days, but Shen Cizhou knows that Mr. Meng pays more attention to the sense of ceremony. The Meng family will send paper invitations. Without that card, it is probably difficult to sneak into the hotel.

Shen Cizhou thought for a while, and sent a message to the person in charge of a band.

……

That night, Shen Cizhou and the orchestra arrived at the hotel together. After resting and tuning in the room prepared by the Meng family, everyone got up and went to the banquet hall.

Generally speaking, a pianist playing live is enough to mobilize the atmosphere. After all, on such an occasion, no one comes to listen to the music.

But Meng Xu’s grandfather is good at this. It is said that when he was young, he met Grandma Meng Xu at a concert, so whenever he had the opportunity, he would invite a small orchestra to such a concert.

Today is certainly no exception.

The piano was placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the southeast corner of the banquet hall. Before the guests arrived, Shen Cizhou and the orchestra had already started playing.

After a while, the number of people in the hall increased, but no one paid attention to the "sound" playing music, and no one saw Shen Cizhou for the time being.

"I haven't received the invitation, and I'm going to sneak in with the orchestra..." Shen Cizhou still had time to laugh at himself in a low voice before the cello was connected, "It seems that when Shen Yingzhi publicizes my dog-licking deeds, there will be new cases .”

"Licking a dog?" Ji Linge was suspicious, "Why do you want to lick a dog? Didn't you say that Meng Xu is not worthy of being a dog?"

Shen Cizhou: "...Have you always been so strong in grasping key points? What does your language teacher think?"

"I haven't been to school." Ji Linge said calmly, "The school is not open to citizens below the first class. Those who are not eligible to go to school are directly implanted with learning chips at birth. In addition to basic common sense, they also have vocational skills. These data With the growth of the brain capacity, it is gradually connected to the human brain, and the body matures, and the 'knowledge' is almost implanted, and it can work directly."

Curiosity is common to everyone, and Shen Cizhou is not immune. He quickly realized a problem, so he questioned in a low voice, "Can the chip... be chosen by oneself? Or is it chosen by the parents for the child?"

Babies can’t choose their lives, but most parents want their children to be successful. Analogous to modern society, if you can choose professional skills for your children, wouldn’t all human cubs be lawyers, doctors, and reserve personnel in the system.

"How could it be possible for you to choose by yourself." Ji Linge sneered, "According to the statistics of the empire, it is estimated that there will be vacancies in 20 years, and newborns will be given chips with relevant professional skills. If parents are not satisfied, they can pay a high price for themselves. Change the chip, but that thing is more expensive than a human life, and the parents of ordinary families can’t afford to change it. If you bow your head and accept your fate, at least the child will have a job when he grows up and can support himself.”

Shen Cizhou was silent.

Decent jobs will certainly not have vacancies, so vacant jobs must not be so decent.

So when a life is born, it is like a tiny part, the trajectory has been planned by the drawing, just waiting to be polished into the shape required by the huge machine, or become a screw, or a nut, or a spacer...

It's chilling.

The music reached its climax, the cello was connected, and amidst the melodious music, Shen Cizhou couldn't help thinking: What kind of chip is Ji Lingo implanted with?The ruling class will never be so confused as to develop "pirate" chips.

Maybe Ji Linge's family background is good, and he was born to be a soldier?Later, he became a mercenary for various reasons?

"Are you wondering what type of chip I have implanted?" Ji Lingo chuckled jokingly, "Want to know? Call Brother Sheng to listen."

Shen Cizhou: "...I don't want to."

He is not curious.

Shen Cizhou ignored a certain parasitic beast and concentrated on playing.

The level of this small orchestra is not very outstanding, so during the halftime performance, few people looked at this small corner until the cello solo part, the sound of the piano was mellow and melodious, like a night rain that came quietly, suppressing the impetuousness of Vanity Fair Down a few points.

Shen Yingzhi, who was holding champagne and talking with someone, froze, and suddenly turned to look at the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The one who reacted more than him was Qiao Huanyan who was standing in front of him. When she saw Shen Cizhou, her expression turned cold.

Qiao Huanyan was well maintained, she looked at most in her 30s, Shen Yingzhi looked like her, the eyes of both mother and son were apricot with a sense of innocence, and they looked at each other, she asked Shen Yingzhi in a low voice, "Why did he come? "

Shen Yingzhi sneered, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, "It seems that he got in with the orchestra, and his face is very high-spirited, but in fact, it's not that he can't let go of the wealthy social circle, it's interesting to squeeze in Is it?"

But apparently someone found it interesting.

The position of Meng Xu's grandfather in the novel is probably the role of the patriarch, standing in front of Meng Xu and Shen Yingzhi, and unswervingly admiring the supporting role Shen Cizhou, so as to create conflicts and obstacles for the two protagonists.

The old man was blowing his beard and staring at Meng Xu, asking Meng Xu why he didn't invite Shen Cizhou, but when he heard the cello solo, he looked back and immediately burst into joy.

At the end of the song, the old man took the lead in applauding and beckoning people to come to him.

"Xiaozhou, grandpa thought you were busy with your studies, so you couldn't come here." The old man smiled and patted Shen Cizhou's hand, "Why did you run into the orchestra?"

Shen Cizhou glanced at Meng Xu who was following Grandpa Meng, and smiled slightly.

Meng Xu felt a little relieved, he thought that Shen Cizhou would definitely make things right for him, and when he made mistakes in his business affairs before, Shen Cizhou would always help him smooth things over in front of the old man.

After he wrote the invitation to Shen Cizhou, Shen Yingzhi coquettishly took it to read, and then...

Patronizing on making out, it seems that Shen Yingzhi said he would send it off, but he didn't seem to say it.

Anyway, it's not a big deal, Shen Cizhou came too, just circle around.

Just thinking about this, his wandering eyes met Shen Cizhou's clear eyes again.

The corners of Shen Cizhou's lips curled up again, and he explained obediently with downcast eyes: "Maybe Meng Xu was too busy and forgot to send me an invitation. It happened that the part-time orchestra accepted the invitation. Thinking of meeting Grandpa, I decided to coming."

After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes with some uncertainty, and asked hesitantly, "Grandpa, will it be a bit abrupt? I also prepared a gift."

Meng Xu:? ? ?This is not the same as what he thought?

Ji Linge: "Good tea, I'll serve it first as a respect."

Shen Cizhou: ...

Can you not say this kind of thing in an appreciative tone, which made him almost laugh.

"Meng Xu!!" Grandpa Meng yelled angrily, "You can't do this even if you are asked to do it. Didn't you say that the invitation will definitely be sent?"

Meng Xu stood up straighter reflexively, and admitted his mistake in a low voice: "I was negligent, grandpa."

He is very concerned about what old man Meng thinks of him. After all, who is the heir is not a matter of a word from the old man.

"Hmph, you worthless thing, do you want me to teach you how to be likable?" Mr. Meng paused the crutch in his hand, "To make up for it, you take the boat to talk to our elders, they are all familiar with you. "

Meng Xu agreed, and took Shen Cizhou to the open space outside the banquet hall.

From a distance, there was always a line of sight on Shen Cizhou. Shen Yingzhi's fingertips turned white while holding the wine glass. He pursed his lower lip, thinking unwillingly, Meng Xu clearly promised him that he would introduce some friends to him tonight. of.

……

The swimming pool is full of people of the same age, which is a bit of a "blind date corner". The old people are celebrating their birthdays, the elders are talking about business, and the younger ones are hiding here. Open, but the ears are stuck up.

"I don't know, but you are an honest person." Meng Xu stopped walking, and said in a strange way, "Thank you for coming to celebrate my grandfather's birthday."

Shen Cizhou still remembered the task tonight, and smiled like a little white flower, "You don't have to be so polite, it's all what I should do."

Meng Xu took a deep breath, "Do you really think I'm praising you? I've been annoyed enough that I haven't been doing well recently. My grandpa is very dissatisfied with me. Tonight, you can help me with this little thing." Lost a piece of meat?"

Ji Linge smiled, "He's in a hurry, he's in a hurry, huh? Xiao Chuaner, what is the standard for completing this task? Isn't this okay?"

Shen Cizhou blinked, and it took him a long time to realize that he was called "small boat". When Ji Lingo said these two words, the ending sound rolled up. It was very intimate and ambiguous, which made people's ears warm.

"What are you screaming for?" He whispered subconsciously.

"What are you talking about?" Meng Xu stared, "You said I barked?!!"

Shen Cizhou: ...

It can only be said that the Chinese language is extensive and profound, and the "barking" he said obviously meant an appellation, but it's a pity that some people insisted on correcting the number and interpreting it as a dog barking.

Before the task was completed, Shen Cizhou frowned and was about to continue acting when Meng Xu suddenly took two steps anxiously, picked up the goblet on the small table, covered his face without looking at the contents splashed over.

Shen Cizhou knew something was wrong when he saw him holding the wine glass. When the wine was splashed, he wanted to avoid it, but his body reaction speed couldn't keep up with his thinking.

Jaw tightened, and he closed his eyes.

Shen Cizhou thought helplessly: It should be quite embarrassing to be splashed with wine.

In the notification sound of the completion of the task, the expected coldness did not appear, but instead, the sound of the wind passed by the ear for a moment, and then the chest was filled with the smell of wet wine.

Shen Cizhou opened his eyes in a daze, and found that he was facing Meng Xu sideways, his movements were a bit slow, the red wine that he didn't completely avoid was splashed on his front, the white shirt of the band uniform was red, and there was still a little wine hanging on his chin .

He heard Ji Lingo cursing.

"After the task is completed, you still stand and let him splash it? Are you stupid?"

Shen Cizhou came back to his senses, and couldn't help but argue: "It's not like everyone reacts as fast as you..."

The moment the notification sound came out, Ji Linge controlled his body, turned sideways to avoid the splashed red wine, and now the person standing in front of Meng Xu seemed to be a different person.

Meng Xu was unaware of this, he put the wine glass back on the table with a bang, and looked at Shen Cizhou sarcastically, "Be sober for you, you are no longer the young master of the Shen family."

"Ah……"

Under the flickering lights, "Shen Cizhou" curled his lips, and smiled coldly and treacherously. He snapped his knuckles twice, raised his thick eyelashes, and his deep eyes fell directly on Meng Xu. .

Meng Xu: ...

What happened to be enveloped by familiar fear all of a sudden?

He heard Shen Cizhou asking a question as if talking to himself.

"You said last time that ooc points are deducted based on time, that is to say, as long as we act faster, the less points will be deducted?"

Meng Xu: "...who are you talking to?"

"Shen Cizhou" ignored him, tilted his head as if he was listening, and seemed to have got the answer. When he looked at Meng Xu again, his eyes flashed with excitement.

"Tsk, let me show you today, how fast brother is."

Meng Xu didn't even quite see how Shen Cizhou moved. He seemed to be hit by a big truck, and the next second he was shot headlong into the swimming pool. The splash was enough to make a certain soul diving team score zero. Give way.

The moment before his ears filled with water, he heard the young man's Qing Lingling voice, but his tone was sarcastic and arrogant.

"Stupid, let me be sober, the barking is not talking about you, you are also worthy of being a dog?"

Shen Cizhou: ...

Brother Ji, just scold him, don't put yourself in it.

Also, fast is really not a good thing.
