The dinner started, and a large group of classmates gathered together. Naturally, they exchanged glasses and drank. While drinking and reminiscing about the past, they also inevitably talked about the current situation, such as "I didn't expect God to really exist." "Come on, what a bullshit god." "They are nothing more than powerful aliens." "The ultimate development of science is theology." "All skills can be explained by science." "Then you explain it and I will listen." "If I have the ability to explain it, I will sit here and talk to you." Are you bragging?" "Brother, you're going to have no friends if you're so competitive" and so on.
Anyway, the topic is on point at the beginning, but it will inevitably go off track later in the conversation.
However, no matter how deviant the topic is, it will be brought back by those with ulterior motives.
It would be too much to say that Chang Mao has ulterior motives, but it is absolutely correct to say that he has his own political goals.
So after drinking and eating, Chang Mao began to bring the topic to the point.
Sure enough, when it comes to establishing a formal professional organization, many people are still interested.
There are about sixty or seventy people in Chang Mao's class. Naturally, it is impossible for them all to come to the reunion, but there are still thirty or forty people here. Most of them are quite able to adapt to the new situation. More than half of them have become professionals, and the remaining Although the lower half have not yet become professionals, they have not given up. They are just delayed due to various reasons. There are not many who really do not seek to make progress.
Of course Chang Mao would not say anything about setting up an organization and I would be the boss. He had carefully prepared a speech. Those classmates who had not yet changed jobs were his best excuse.
"... The situation has changed, and we must also recognize the general trend. Regardless of whether the beings in the sky are aliens or gods, we must understand that the world is in their hands, and we can only play according to their rules. So I suggest that we set up such a mutual aid organization. Those who are ahead of the curve will help those who are behind. Everyone helps each other and develops together... "
Chang Mao said in an emotional tone. According to him, this classmate association is a mutual aid association. Those who have transferred first will help the students who have not transferred to other jobs and help them get promoted. After receiving the help, the students who have not transferred to other jobs will also have opportunities in the future. Obligation to give certain feedback. In this way, a strong bond is created.
Of course, such a bond definitely requires an organizer.
Note that he is an organizer, a worker, not a leader.
Any smart leader would never say that everyone should listen to me, but that I only serve everyone.
This is the case with Chang Mao.
Kuroko Hara Chenfei and others were present, and it was him who organized the dinner and made the proposal. As the host, it was almost his duty to do so.
In addition, what he said is correct. If we want to continue to survive well in this society that has undergone drastic changes, we must stick together. This classmate mutual aid club is still very meaningful.
So after finishing the meal, at least half of the people were already interested in joining, and the remaining half were also considering and hesitating. Chang Mao patiently did the convincing work one by one.
Of course, the most difficult thing to handle is Yuan Chenfei.
There was a song and dance performance after the meal, and everyone was free to move around, which actually gave everyone time to communicate.
As soon as the first program started, Xia Ning walked up to Yuan Chenfei and said, "It's a bit hot here, would you like to walk with me on the balcony?"
"Okay." Yuan Chenfei smiled.
She stood up and followed Xia Ning to the balcony.
There are always those who don't like Yuan Chenfei. Looking at the backs of the two of them, they muttered: "I really don't understand why Xia Ning is paying attention to him. He was the one who abandoned Xia Ning back then."
"Forget it, forget it, what happens between two people is none of your business." Someone advised.
When I came to the balcony, a gust of wind blew, making me cool and comfortable.
Xia Ning put her hands on the railing and looked at the scenery in the distance. She said, "I have wronged you in the past few years."
Yuan Chenfei smiled: "Why are you aggrieved?"
"You have the reputation of being a heartless man." Xia Ning turned around and leaned on the railing to look at him.
Under the moonlight, Yuan Chenfei's face was still so handsome.
Yuan Chenfei smiled: "This is no grievance, it's just a deal. Besides, it's all thanks to your father, otherwise I wouldn't be able to study at Stanford."
Xia Ning looked at him and asked softly: "Have you really never hated me? I obviously abandoned you, but I still want you to bear the bad name? Although my father funded you, he also destroyed your scholarship. plan."
"It doesn't matter." Yuan Chenfei shook his head: "You know? Sometimes men would rather be evil than fail."
Xia Ning was delighted: "Is being abandoned considered a failure?"
"At least for me at that time, it was."
"In your heart, which is more important, victory or me?" Xia Ning asked.
Yuan Chenfei was stunned. He thought for a moment and then shook his head: "None of this is important now. What is important is survival and how to survive in this new era."
Xia Ning: "You know I don't need to rely on Chang Mao and this mutual aid association to survive."
"Of course I know that." Yuan Chenfei smiled.
Xia Ning's father is a high-ranking official. It can be said that he is a prince. Even now, he still has a decisive influence.
It was just a small class reunion, Xia Ning really didn't care about it.
"However, have you ever thought that when the new era comes, those who are most vulnerable to impact are also those who are superior in the old order?" Yuan Chenfei asked.
Xia Ning replied: "I know, but I know even more that in every era of change, those who can really reach the top are not the people at the bottom, but the middle and high classes who are still relatively above."
In the so-called peasant uprisings in Chinese history, very few of them actually succeeded.
The vast majority of those who overthrew the old dynasty and established the new dynasty were still the original powerful class - it was the great power that was overthrown, and it was still the great power that replaced it. This is the reality.
This is also determined by people's limitations. People who stand tall can often see further.
For example, now, Chang Mao, who organizes the bureau, is a typical second-generation official and has his own company. He can spend money to treat everyone to dinner, have a younger brother speak for him to support him, and can also spend money to buy crystal coins.
Diaosi can't do it.
You can't even afford a meal.
As for Xia Ning, who can say that she and the people behind her don't behave similarly
Even if it doesn't happen now, it doesn't mean it won't happen later. And with the opponent's size, any movement would be like thunder.
Why is the blood in Liu Yang's notes so expensive
It is because of the existence of these big families that they exchange large amounts of Chinese coins for crystal coins, gain a lot of wealth, and then buy blood to achieve themselves and continue their position as masters. It can be said that the first factor of the high value of blood is its unequal supply and demand relationship, which is the core. The second factor is that these big nobles rely on wealth to fuel the fire and use money to settle everything. For example, Yuan Chenfei is doing this now. Yes, the third factor is the emergence of the crystal currency banking system.
In this changing era, a small number of people at the bottom may have the opportunity to rise, but more opportunities are still given to the middle and upper classes.
The price of blood has not skyrocketed yet, just because the time is too short.
The big families are still waiting and watching, collecting information and making decisions.
This must take time. It is also common for large companies to be slow to turn around. But again, as long as they turn around, they will be an unstoppable force.
As a low-level member of the second generation of officials, Chang Mao turned around quickly.
Xia Ning... It's hard to say.
Yuan Chenfei didn't know, but he knew how smart and powerful this woman was.
That was something he had developed personally and had an in-depth understanding of.
Perhaps it was because she was so powerful that Yuan Chenfei didn't feel too much pain when he lost her, and then he realized that he didn't actually love her either.
As a man, especially an ambitious man, he prefers to protect women and take charge of the overall situation, rather than being held in the palm of a woman's hands.
Xia Ning is the kind of strong woman who is not suitable for her.
But we can be friends and partners.
So when he heard Xia Ning's words, Yuan Chenfei nodded: "That's right, but it's always good to have a way out."
Xia Ning was a little surprised: "What benefits did Chang Mao give you to help him speak like this?"
Yuan Chenfei replied: "Chang Mao agreed to help me acquire some white crystals. If this is a benefit, then so be it. But the real reason is that I also prefer him to do this... there must be an organization."
"Why don't you lead it yourself?" Xia Ning asked again.
Yuan Chenfei shook his head: "That would take too much time and energy, and would delay a lot of things."
Xia Ning lowered her head and thought for a while: "People who can say this are either too unambitious or very ambitious... If you don't belong to the former, then you are the latter. To make you think that mutual assistance is not as important as your time... You are right Are you very confident in yourself?"
She is indeed a powerful woman. Did you guess it so quickly
Yuan Chenfei smiled and said nothing.
He knew what Xia Ning was going to say next.
Sure enough, Xia Ning had already asked: "What level are you at?"
"Level five." Yuan Chenfei replied.
A look of understanding appeared in Xia Ning's eyes: "No wonder you are so confident."
Yuan Chenfei smiled bitterly.
In fact, level is really not what he relies on. It's just that at this stage when no one understands the game of the gods, everyone generally regards level as the first factor to weigh strength. In fact, the reason why he quickly leveled up in the first place was just to use the strength brought by his level to deal with those elite monsters. In the days to come, he is destined to become slower and slower, and there are bound to be a group of people whose levels exceed him.
Yuan Chenfei didn't care about this, but he couldn't care about Xia Ning.
No matter what, she was also the first woman in his life.
So after thinking about it, he said: "You should know that when we work in an environment, we must first understand the rules of the environment. Only by understanding the rules, and then following and utilizing the rules can we do better."
Xia Ning frowned: "What do you mean?"
"According to my understanding, in the rules of the gods, level is not the most important, and it is not even considered second." Yuan Chenfei replied.
Xia Ning lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally understood: "Yes, there are some weird things in the Gods Game. We haven't figured it out yet. We can't simply think that a high level is good."
"By the way, your initial element is wind, right?" Yuan Chenfei asked.
Hearing this question, Xia Ning's eyes showed obvious surprise.
