Until a few minutes after sitting in the leather chair in the box, Zhao Yi still felt as if he was dreaming.

All boys have their own subconscious, the most perfect, holy, and the most undeniable first love object. It is the most precious existence in their hearts and the imprint in their memory that will never be erased.

Zhao Yi didn't know whether this was love or not. But he knew that he liked this girl named Yu Bei. Just like a child who tasted sweet candy for the first time, he would always stubbornly think that this was the best food in the world. They would never be able to listen to the words of advice from others. Only after truly growing up and trying more food will he suddenly understand how ridiculous the stubborn thinking like a stone was.

Yu Bei smelled of alcohol.

The strong perfume smell largely obscured this suspiciously slight drunkenness. Zhao Yi, immersed in joy and sweetness, did not notice any of these details that should have attracted attention. He tried to keep his sitting posture correct, took the recipe from the shier, turned it open, and asked diligently: "What do you want to eat?"

Yu Bei smiled calmly and said, "A special dish requires an appointment. At this time, the only thing that is cold is OK."

As she said that, she pushed the recipe in front of her to the side and ordered the person who was waiting at the table: "Please give me a piece of Starasburg foie gras cake with bone marrow made from red carp mushrooms. A bucket of fresh oysters, a tuna sashimi, ice ji ling water peaches, and a bottle of special red wine produced on the planet Luxen."

Zhao Yi's entire attention was on Bei. He had never looked at the menu, so he naturally didn't know that the seven-inch Strasbourg cake was priced at 1,600 federal dollars, and 500 grams of barrel oysters cost 900 yuan. Adding to a series of other dishes and wine, the total value of this dinner has exceeded 6,000. This is equivalent to the living expenses of a family of three in the federal citizenship for more than half a year.

Seeing that Zhao Yi did not express an unhappy or painful expression because the dishes he ordered were too expensive, Yu Bei's smile also became more and more intense. She picked up the goblet filled with red wine, raised it in the air and lit it, and smiled charmingly: "Are you a regular customer here?"

Zhao Yi shook his head and answered honestly: "In fact, this is the first time I have come to such a place."

Yu Bei's face, who had already been bent by the wine glass, froze. She obviously didn't expect Zhao Yi to say such things. She took a sip of the slightly sour wine, and said in a half-joking tone: "According to ancient astrologists, men's appearance is usually similar to their mothers. Haha! What do you think?"

Zhao Yi picked up the wine glass in silence and shook it slowly in his hand. After nearly half a minute, he said in a low voice: I don’t know."

"Oh?" Yu Bei looked at him suspiciously.

"They died before I was born."

Zhao Yi's tone was melancholy and lonely, as if he was searching for the details he was most reluctant to remember in his memories: "I have only seen their photos. However, many people who have seen them said that my father and I look very similar."

"Sorry! Please forgive my abruptness----"

A hint of undetectable loss flew through Yu Bei's eyes. She played with the goblet in her hand, as if she asked casually: "So, are you living alone now?"

Zhao Yi nodded with a faint smile.

"The inheritance they leave to you must be very rich if you can pay for the high tuition fees for art majors."

While subconsciously saying this, Yu Bei immediately discovered her mistake. She quickly continued the topic in a comforting tone: "At least, you don't have to worry about life anymore. This is also the greatest wish of being a parent."

"heritage"

Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned to the side, and he smiled mockly: "You are right. I am probably the lucky inheritor of the world's heritage. They did not leave me a bill or a penny. However, those intangible property that cannot be measured by money are so huge that even God will envy it."

Yu Bei didn't say anything.

Her expression seemed a little strange, both like disappointment and a little regret, while more hidden deep in her eyes and what has not been released is increasing contempt and arrogance.

In order to suppress these chaotic and complex emotions, she raised her neck and drank all the red wine in the goblet. The liquid from the ** is flowing into her body along the throat, making her feel a little dizzy. After breathing a long sigh, Yu Bei said lightly: "It's already very late. Let the shier pack the food he ordered just now and take it back to the dormitory to eat!"

Zhao Yi nodded and called the person to pay as he said. He always wanted to leave the most beautiful impression on the girl he liked, but he did not realize that Yu Bei's expression on his beautiful face that had applied too much cosmetics was becoming more complicated and exciting.

"Hello! I spent a total of 6,407 yuan. Do you choose to swipe your card? Or pay cash?"

The man in a white shirt walked quickly to the dining table, smiled, and handed a tray with settlement documents on both hands.

"Cash!"

While agreeing, Zhao Yi turned his body sideways and put his hand into the inner bag of his shirt. Just as his fingers and inner clothes were in contact, he suddenly trembled all over, as if he was hit by some kind of magic, and could only maintain a stiff solidified form.

Yu Bei looked at him with his eyes, and his tone of speech clearly had a sarcastic meaning: "Why, I forgot to bring the money?"

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Zhao Yi nodded silently.

This is Ace's top. In order to hurry, he was in a hurry and panic, all kinds of abnormal factors were superimposed, making him completely forget that he had to exchange other objects in his pocket and his wallet.

"Sorry! I have something else to deal with. Please forgive me, I have to go first----"

Yu Bei grabbed the handbag without hesitation and stood up from the dining table. The smile and friendliness on her face completely disappeared, and only the coldness and disgust of /chi/luo/luo/ were replaced.

"Wait! Please wait!"

Zhao Yi felt a dense cold sweat oozing from his head. He trotted to the cashier, and while picking up the phone number, he shouted to Yu Bei who had already walked to the restaurant door: "You wait a moment, I'll let them send their wallets here----"

Yu Bei did not stop, nor even turned around to look at him. Half a minute later, the graceful and graceful figure had already walked out of the restaurant gate and disappeared into the dark night.

After nearly half an hour, Liang Liang ran into the restaurant panting. Behind him were two men in black wearing pyramid industrial alliance logos. After Zhao Yi paid the bill, the leader came forward and a smile appeared on his sculpture-like face.

"Mr. Gruber sent us to pick you up. He has important things to discuss with you."

The street in front of the Industrial Alliance Building has been completely filled with hundreds of vehicles of various styles. Unlike ordinary civilian cars, they are almost all business vehicles with more than eight seats. The body is painted with eye-catching lacquer surfaces, and special signs belonging to TV, radio, newspapers and other media. The entire street is shining with lights, as if it is an extremely strong, dazzling, and without any aesthetic sense of light.

"I am Chen Bo, a reporter from Motv, and I am broadcasting it on-site to you at the Industrial Alliance Building————"

"The Planet Daily will focus on the topics we care about most. Since the morning before yesterday, Alliance Director Gruber has been refusing to interview."

"Who is the real inventor of colloidal chocolate? What kind of role does the Pyramid Industry Alliance play in this matter? Please keep an eye on the latest news released by our station----"

The federal media has always spread quickly. For news, reporters seem to have a natural sense of keenness. In order to avoid these guys who like to chatter and ask questions, Zhao Yi had to lower his head, raise his coat and lapel to cover his ears. Under the leadership of two men in black, he quickly walked along the corner of the wall to the entrance of the underground parking garage. After a brief and rapid communication, the tight titanium steel roller shutter door began to rise slowly, and a gap can be made for bent over and entering and exiting.

Gruber was still sitting upright behind the desk like he had met for the first time. He was in a deep face, smoking a cigar hard, and thick smoke occupied every corner of the room. Zhao Yi had to take a few deep breaths of air at the door before carrying it. With all kinds of negative emotions arising from Yu Bei, he walked into the smoke-filled office without saying a word.

"See these damn reporters below? They are like a group of flies that create chaos and noise. Mom! Pan-United Nations is doing much better in this regard than the Federation. These maggots, these madmen, they think they are bullshit messengers of justice and ghost spokespersons of the people. To put it bluntly, they are actually a group of idiots who are used as guns and uncrowned kings hahahaha!! How noble! How self-righteous? But who dares to report on the actual living conditions of industrial civilians? Who dares to really stand up and help the civilians say a few good things? These /mix/types, if I have the powerful divine power of Zeus in the legend, I must use lightning to chop them to death————"

Despite his age, Gruber's temper was still hot. Zhao Yi stared at him in a daze as he grabbed the ashtray placed on the table, strode to the window, and smashed it downstairs surrounded by dense crowds. Perhaps because he felt that the anger accumulated in his heart could not be vented, the gray-haired industrial director took off the cigar held in his mouth, raised his cheeks, and vented a mouthful of thick, fishy and smelly yellow phlegm in the direction where the ashtray fell.

He angrily sat back on the leather chair and took out another cigar from the wooden box placed on the table. He cut off both ends with a knife and was about to light it with a match, but it seemed that he finally remembered that there was a guest like Zhao Yi. So he raised his eyelids and looked at the opposite side, and said in a dull and depressing voice: "If you want to suck, do it yourself. There is wine in the closet and coffee is behind you. Don't expect me to act as a guest corner. Sè———”

Zhao Yi nodded without comment and reached out to take a cigar from the box. Cuba was attacked by destruction in World War III, and one-third of its land area was forever engulfed by sea water. Since then, there has never been any such thing as "Havana" cigars in the world. Today, the recognized source of high-quality cigars is an asteroid located under the control of the Pan-United Nations. Due to environmental factors, its output can only be maintained at about 20 million boxes (ten packs) per year.

"You've gotten into a big trouble----"

Gruber stared at Zhao Yi and said unhappily: "You shouldn't meet with the boy from the Bernstein family. That guy is a lunatic. As far as I know, the emergence of gum chocolate seems to disrupt his plan to sell a new type of candy at the Food Expo. In revenge, he invited hundreds of candy manufacturers as members of the business alliance to ask the business alliance to disclose the specific recipe of the chocolate."

Zhao Yi frowned slightly and asked suspiciously: "Open?"

"This is the most specific manifestation of federal law's stupidity———"

Gruber's face was full of helplessness. He took a sip of the cigar, spitting out thick smoke, and gritted his teeth and said: "According to relevant legal provisions, no scientific and technological innovation in any field candy industry can damage the existing market. Bernstein Sugar Group has joined hands with other candy manufacturers to file a profit arbitration with the Federal Supreme Court. The Civil Judgment Tribunal will make a verdict within one month at the latest. Unfortunately, this incident has exceeded my control. The manufacturing technology of gum chocolate is very likely to be made public. In this regard, I."

"etc----"

Zhao Yi interrupted Gruber without hesitation: "To put it simply, what power do they have to do this?"

"If the federal government wants to maintain the stability of the entire social order, it must first stabilize the market----"

The Industrial Council paused and continued to explain: "According to the regulations: if more than half of the similar products are unsold due to a certain technology or patent, and the company goes bankrupt. Then the technology must disclose all research data. This is mainly to prevent market collapse and the unemployment rate from increasing. On the other hand, the government does not want stable tax sources to be destroyed. You must know that it takes time to turn from technology to products, and it takes an extremely long process to allow the public to accept and recognize brand new goods. This is not just a matter of

Money can solve the problem. Strictly speaking, I must also take part of the responsibility for this matter——I shouldn’t take you to any food fair, and overestimate the binding force of the directors of the business alliance on their members. Although Bernstein is just a small family, they have a great influence in the same industry group. These damn Jews will produce tens of thousands of victims in every war on Earth, but these guys can always escape by chance. Their vitality and reproduction ability are as tenacious as mice."

As he said that, Gruber picked up a stack of newspapers from the shelf next to him and threw them heavily in front of Zhao Yi: "Look at it for yourself! Almost all media and magazines were motivated by them. The Bernstein family did not just use money to bribe journalists. The emergence of gum chocolate is itself an excellent news that attracts attention. They will not, nor will they be willing to let go of such an important subject. Although they do not want to admit it, we did lose this time."

"It must be corrected---you lost!"

Zhao Yi waited patiently for Gruber to finish his words before he shook his head with a faint smile.

"What?"

Gruber suddenly raised his head and stared at him with wide eyes.

"It's hard, isn't it?"

Zhao Yi was not affected by the other party's angry expression at all. He put the unlit cigar close to his nostrils, sniffed the rich tobacco aroma, and said calmly: "When I found you, I just hoped to get enough money. Yes, I did say that I wanted to get all the patent income of gum chocolate. But you did not negotiate with me, but took me directly to a food fair. Dear Director Gruber, as you once said, there are indeed different types of goods between the industrial alliance and the commercial alliance.

I also understand very well why you didn't take me to meet the mysterious business alliance director——You have your own interests, you don't want me to know too much insider information, and you don't want me to hear the specific amount of money you make from it. In short, you never regard me as a friend. At best, you are just a partner. And, it's the kind of person that doesn't match each other's status and rank. If you can be more sincere, you are not so wary of me, and you are not so greedy, things will not evolve to this point today."

Gruber's face became a little ugly. He did not refute or argue, which to some extent was equivalent to admitting Zhao Yi's accusations. After a few minutes of silence, he threw the unsucked cigar in his hand on the floor, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said in a rather angry tone: "Is the reason you are willing to come here just to embarrass me?"

Zhao Yi looked at him calmly, and a kind smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"To the respected director of the Industrial Union, the Bernstein family is just a small corner."

Gruber hummed coldly, his tone was full of disdain and a little helpless: "They are indeed not a rival. But they are very troublesome."

"If I'm not wrong, in your opinion, I'm the key to solving the problem?"

Zhao Yi kept staring into Gruber's eyes. Before the other party could answer, he continued: "Actually, you have the same abilities as me. Even more powerful than me."

This sentence has no specific meaning. Gruber couldn't help but sit up straight, frowned, and looked at him inexplicably.

Zhao Yi's smile became stronger and stronger. He put down the cigar, strode towards the computer placed next to the desk, turned on the copywriting processing system, and nimblely typing the keyboard with both hands, leaving a series of complex chemical symbols and calculation formulas connected to it on the screen.
