As Xiao Deng said, after the ceremony, there was a cocktail party on the 18th floor of the theater hotel next to him.

Gao Xu stood by the wall with a glass of sweet red wine, watching the white woman playing a strange instrument for a while, turned to Miaojin next to him and said, "I do like this modern cocktail party more than the lunch day after tomorrow."

He thought about it and said, "The banquet is like the traditional rural drink presentation relationship. The important figures in the chief are the core of the audience; and then when they come to each table, there are always one or two more famous and high-ranking people who maintain the atmosphere and topics of the whole table.

People are forced to repeat common clichés because even relatives, friends and colleagues do not necessarily have the same interests. The experience is often not so good, so people call it social engagements. And such drinking parties are different. At least I can talk to you to avoid being bored or at a loss.”

"Udeqin." Miao Jin said with a smile.

Gao Xu didn't come back to his senses for a moment: "What?"

Miao Jin glanced at the white woman playing, "The instrument she played is called Udeqin, and the pipa you like is Udeqin evolved. It originated in Persia, evolved eastward into a pipa, and westward into a guitar."

"So that's it, I've been taught." Gao Xu said and took a sip of wine.

"If you have a complicated expression, you can speak so smoothly. No wonder I like to listen to you." Miao Jin added.

Gao Xu smiled and said, "I'm very glad that in your eyes, I'm not Wang Zhicai."

Miao Jin smiled knowingly, then turned to look at the bandstand, "That Persian woman is very beautiful, don't ignore it deliberately."

Gao Xu said: "I'm just looking."

"Do I not allow you to see it?" Miao Jin asked with a smile.

Gao Xu observed her. She was wearing a skirt with modern design elements, with a beautiful and slightly childish face, with fine white and smooth skin, and a unique youthful atmosphere, but her charming and bright eyes were not consistent with her appearance.

Because the music at this time had the rhythm of traditional Western music, Gao Xu naturally thought of the devil's appearance and the devil's figure. And Gao Xu couldn't see the emotions in Miao Jin's eyes at this time.

Miao Jin's expression was a little aggrieved, but her eyes were smiling, "Am I a jealous woman?"

Gao Xu said helplessly: "This is a word that does not conform to the times."

Miao Jin looked at him very seriously: "You don't have to be too careful. I don't care about these women around you. Because I know you and I'm sure you can find that they will have characteristics that you can't accept..."

"Cons?" Gao Xu pondered.

Miao Jin shook her head and said, "I'm a little hungry, go and get some food."

Gao Xu nodded, looked back at Miao Jin's back, then held a wine glass and continued to stand by the wall to admire the performance of the Persian woman. The Persian woman was wearing complexly decorated and shiny evening dresses. Just like the female guests here, in addition to traditional dresses, many women were wearing modern fashions.

Under the soothing melody, the people around them subconsciously felt the melody atmosphere of the music, gathered together in groups of three or three to talk, walked around, and seized the time to meet people with strength and help, or different surnames that they liked. Like Gao Xu, there are almost no people who specialize in playing.

The Persian woman also noticed Gao Xu in the corner and looked at him from time to time. The Persian woman had deep eyes and unique eyes. Gao Xu had already understood this.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the player was replaced on the stage, the Persian woman walked straight towards Gao Xu. Gao Xu was a little embarrassed, just like what he said to Miao Jin, he just wanted to see it.

When the Persian woman saw Gao Xu turning to look at something, she walked up and said, "Are you looking for the female companion you just now?"

Gao Xu did not deny it: "I don't think she's back." Out of politeness, Gao Xu said again, "The song you play with the Ude piano is wonderful and elegant, and it makes people fascinated."

The Persian woman suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Sir, I am very knowledgeable and recognized Udeqin at a glance."

Gao Xu smiled and said, "My girlfriend just told me."

The Persian woman suddenly felt a little disappointed, "She must be a lady from a wealthy family."

After Gao Xu hinted, he praised the words: "What is the name of the wonderful song just now?"

"White rose." said the Persian woman.

Gao Xu thought for a while: "Maybe I was wrong, so please forgive me. The title of the song comes from Dante's "Divine Comedy"?"

The woman nodded in surprise again and said, "Sir, knowledgeable."

Gao Xu smiled and said, "I happened to be very interested in the works about the Renaissance, but I didn't expect the Persians to play such a song."

The woman said, "Yirang has Christians." She paused and said, "Qin... Ming Kingdom is really a great country, which contains the art of the whole world. Many people don't know about Udeqin, and almost no one listens to it anymore. Instead, after playing in a foreign country, we received attention from people."

She speaks Chinese very well.

Gao Xu said: "Most of our musical instruments with the characters "Hu" are from Persia, so naturally people will appreciate the brilliant Persian culture."

"Thank you." The woman looked at him, "You can call me Madie." After she said that, she smiled strangely.

"Liu Gang." Gao Xu took the initiative to stretch out his hand and gently grabbed Mati's finger. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to leave here, but when he noticed Mati's expression, he asked again, "How to pronounce Persian?"

So Mati taught Gao Xu twice, then she glanced at the watch on her wrist and said, "Sorry, I have to go back."

Gao Xu said: "See you well."

He turned around and walked through the sparse crowd and saw a large dining table. Looking around for a moment, he saw Miao Jin by the small table next to the window. Gao Xu walked over and sat opposite Miao Jin, "I thought you would come back."

Miao Jin looked at him and shook his head and smiled, picked up a spoon to scoop the snacks on the plate.

Gao Xu observed her: "The Persian woman who played Udge is named Mati."

"Oh." Miao Jin looked at him with a smile.

At this moment, Gao Xu found the table behind Miao Jin, and Deng Jiamin was sitting with a strange man. Xiao Deng also saw Gao Xu and looked here.

Gao Xu looked at her and nodded slightly, and immediately looked away. He didn't want to disturb Xiao Deng's social interaction.

But Xiao Deng quickly got up, said goodbye to the man beside her, walked over, and sat at this table. The table here was not big, and the three of them were just full of them against the glass window.

"The dim sum is well done." Miaojin pointed to the plate.

Xiao Deng shook his head and said, "I won't eat it."

Gao Xu was still drinking wine himself, "What's the matter with Xiao Deng?"

Xiao Deng was silent for a while, "The person just now belonged to the film company." After that, he picked up a business card and handed it over.

Gao Xu didn't answer, "Why do you want to give it to me?"

Xiao Deng had to put away the business card awkwardly, and her expression was a little panicked. Gao Xu observed her appearance and felt it was not easy to fully understand, so he said quietly: "I am just your boss at work, not your elder."

"That person just now asked me a lot of questions." Xiao Deng said, "He asked me how much I'm paid."

Gao Xu suddenly said, "Oh, I'm poaching."

He hesitated for a moment, and if he ignored him, it seemed a bit disappointing for his subordinates. He immediately said, "Your monthly salary will increase to 5,000. I used to be a formal worker in a cosmetics company, and this salary was also the same."

Xiao Deng waved his hand and said, "I don't want to use this to ask for a salary increase."

"That's all, there will be bonuses if you have achievements." Gao Xu said.

Just then, a slightly fat middle-aged man came next to him, and it was Mr. Pan. He said, "Good evening, Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Pan, I'm lucky to know." Gao Xu said. He couldn't remember the name of this person, but fortunately he didn't need the full name. Gao Xu thought to himself and wanted to ask others what Mr. Pan's name was.

Mr. Pan smiled and nodded to the two women again.

The fourth person could no longer sit at the table, so Gao Xu stood up calmly, walked to the side, stood with Mr. Pan to prepare for a while.

"Besides white wine, people also seem to like wine." Gao Xu looked at the glass in his hand. He interacted with unfamiliar people, especially men, and had to find ways to find topics. After all, women can praise her for her beauty and temperament, and Gao Xu could come just by opening her mouth.

The reason why President Pan is not looking for a topic is because President Pan doesn't seem to be planning to speak on his own initiative. He is looking at Gao Xu very seriously, as if he is very interested in Gao Xu. But such eyes make Gao Xu a little uncomfortable.

Mr. Pan said: "The grapes produced in the south of the Western American region are very good. Most of the domestic wines come from the other end of the Pacific Ocean." He paused and said, "But in recent years, the situation in the Western American region has not been very stable, and the production has declined."

Gao Xu nodded boredly and echoed: "It makes sense, what can you love if you have anything."

Mr. Pan said in a deep voice: "Our movie won the Golden Fan Award so quickly because the subject matter involves the Western American District and has emotional guidance."

"So, there are political factors for this kind of institutional award evaluation," Gao Xu said.

Mr. Pan nodded and said, "Of course there are awards, especially the capital. The main stream guidance of culture and values ​​is a strategic-level topic in our Ming Dynasty. A group of social humanists specialize in meticulous research in this area." He showed very serious confusion, "Will Mr. Liu not know?"

Gao Xu said: "I can only guess that my information is not widely available."

Mr. Pan said again: "In ancient times, we emphasized assimilation rather than conquest, which is different from Western culture. Now we have given up assimilation and changed to value recognition, which is the advice given to the government by scholars. To this day, value recognition is still cheaper than war conquest and subjugation, and has fewer side effects."

"Human society is indeed becoming more and more complicated." Gao Xu blurted out.
