Chapter 197 The real Liwei!(2/2)
It seemed that all the social skills his uncle had lost were "given" to his son.
As soon as I came downstairs, I saw Fanny standing there.
"There's a meeting, hurry up." Fanny said in a very frivolous and affectionate tone.
"Okay, okay, they said the drinks will be delivered right away."
With his sight blocked by soda bottles and ice buckets in front of him, Richard couldn't clearly see who Fanny was talking to.
After walking in, Karen found that everyone else was sitting on the chairs. Although the meeting place was simply decorated, it still paid great attention to details.
For example, the person sitting in the first seat is Neo, and there is an empty chair diagonally to Neo's left hand. The person sitting next is Gray, and opposite to Gray is Wind. The others sit down from them.
Karen lifted the ice bucket, and Richard put down a box of soda, and then shouted enthusiastically:
"Whoever drinks soda, there are ice cubes!"
Then, no one responded to him.
Neo lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest. The captain has always had this habit. When he is talkative, he will be very talkative, and when he is silent, he will be very silent.
As for the others... they were completely too lazy to pay attention to this newcomer.
Karen suddenly recalled the first official meeting between him and the guys, in the suite of the Ankara Hotel. At that time, he still felt that the team was very warm and warm.
Oh, it seems that I thought wrongly.
The reason why everyone was so enthusiastic at that time was because he had just "confessed" to Ophelia, which created the first "confession"-style security in the Cult of Kosmos since its establishment.
If there hadn't been that misunderstanding, I might have enjoyed the same "group cold violence" treatment as Richard did now.
"No one drinks soda?" Richard was a little confused.
"I drank." Karen said, "They all drank."
This group of people, one by one, are basically drunkards and smokers. This may have something to do with their living environment. They have become accustomed to using alcohol and nicotine to fill their mental emptiness outside of their tasks.
Especially two women, Fanny and Bi Mao, drank brandy directly as milk tea.
"You can carry a box down just for drinking alone?" Richard asked.
"Aren't you here too?"
Karen remembered that her cousin brought a thermos with ice soda in it when he went to the Academic Affairs Building.
"I want to be more gregarious, so I'd rather drink red wine." Richard said, "You drink red wine too."
"I don't like drinking." Karen shook his head.
At this time, a small leader and two of his men brought down the red wine and the clean red wine glasses, but he did not dare to bring them in.
Richard took the initiative to get the things, and then took the initiative to pour red wine for everyone.
Karen silently took out four bottles of soda, punched four grooves in the ice cubes in the ice bucket, and put the soda bottles into them to chill.
At this time, Marlow also came back from the meeting next door. When he saw Karen, he knelt down and chatted with him for a while.
"Do you drink soda?" Karen asked.
"I want to drink." Marlowe replied honestly.
"All right."
Karen nodded and picked up the ice bucket with the soda bottle.
Richard, who was quick and agile, had already poured everyone's drinks. When he put down the red wine bottle, he looked at the empty seats on the field. There were two empty seats left, one next to the captain and one at the end.
Richard originally planned to sit at the end, but Marlowe came and sat down directly there.
Now, only the empty seat next to the captain was left.
Richard wiped his hands on his clothes nervously and thought to himself: Although everyone seems a little indifferent, they actually still value me very much.
Immediately, Richard walked to the empty chair next to Neo and sat down with some restraint.
Then, when he raised his head and looked at everyone present, he found that everyone present had their eyes on him, with some doubts in their eyes and expressions.
Richard immediately stood up, bowed to everyone, and said:
"Hello everyone, I am a new non-staff member, my name is Richard; I have always admired the captain and longed for this team. Today is the day when I realize my dream in life. I can finally join this group. I am
Be proud of today, be proud of today!”
After speaking, Richard bowed again.
Then, with a perfectly shy and excited smile on his face, he sat down again. This expression was really not pretending, let alone acting. It was indeed a true reflection of his heart at this time.
But when he sat down and looked at everyone again, he found that everyone's doubts had not dissipated.
Is it because you didn’t introduce yourself in detail?
Richard began to examine himself.
At this time, Karen came over with an ice bucket and found that there were no chairs, so he put the ice bucket down and prepared to get another chair.
"Karen, where's your seat?" He pointed at the spot where Richard was sitting.
Fanny looked at Richard and said, "We forgot to get chairs for the newlyweds. Go get them yourself, okay?"
"ah?"
Richard stood up in confusion and stepped aside.
Gray reached out and patted the chair where Richard was sitting before, and said: "Karen, sit here."
The status in the hunting dog group is won by one's own strength, and the same goes for the ranking.
After easily defeating Gray and Wind, Karen's ranking directly surpassed Gray and Wind, just below the captain. When everyone ranked their positions, it was obvious that they all acquiesced to this.
Karen glanced at his little cousin and without refusing, walked over with an ice bucket and sat down.
Richard was a little embarrassed, more confused, but his mental endurance was really strong, so he immediately ran out and brought another chair, and sat down at the end.
Karen picked up two bottles of soda, opened the corks, and handed one of them to his cousin who was sitting far away from him at the end.
Starting from Gray, the relay started naturally with the hands, one after another, and finally passed to Richard's hands.
Li looked at the soda bottle in his hand, and then at Karen sitting under the captain. He finally realized that he seemed to have been wrong about Karen before!
He has been a member of this team for a long time, and his ranking is very high.
Oh my god, I actually said earlier that people can get in through their connections.
After suddenly realizing this, Richard, instead of being angry, felt that it was better this way. Compared to both of them being newbies, it seemed that Karen being an experienced hunting dog would help him more.
Being sheltered is definitely much better than hugging each other for warmth and shivering together.
This is probably the first impression of differential treatment. When you have a good impression of a person, you can think in a good direction for all the changes that occur.
Neo said:
"Now, the meeting officially begins."
Everyone sat up straighter, and Richard even straightened his back.
Neo pointed to Richard, who was sitting at the end: "Let me introduce the newcomers first."
Richard had no choice but to stand up again: "Hello everyone..."
"Okay, since we've introduced it before, let's get straight to the point."
"..." Richard.
"Relying on the connections in the newcomer's family, I just won a security mission. The specific process is the same as the last time I protected the Dark Moon Island delegation, but the reward is higher, more than doubled, and in addition to coupons, there are also physical rewards."
Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. The security mission was simple, the risk factor was low, and they could eat and drink. Most importantly, the mission rewards were high. What team wouldn't like such a mission?
Fanny asked: "Captain, who is the target of protection this time?"
Neo replied: "The Cult of Palmyres."
Hearing this answer, Karen was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, many people here are aware of the recent trend of the Divine Cult against the Palmyres Cult, including the accident in the Academic Affairs Building, which is said to be revenge from the Palmyres Cult.
The entire church circle seems to feel that the only thing left to destroy the Palmyres Cult is a divine edict from the Cult of Kosmos, and this divine edict should already be in the process of going through the process.
Because the Cult of Kosmos needs a show of authority to reshape its hegemonic image.
Bi Mao said: "But I heard that the delegation of the Palmyres Cult has been expelled from the Ankara Hotel by the religious sect."
"The contemporary divine son of the Palmyres Religion will land in York Harbor tomorrow night. He will represent the true core of the Palmyres Religion to hold talks with the Divine Religion. If the talks are successful, then the Palmyres God will become my
An offshoot god in the mythology of Kosmos."
A smile appeared on Neo's lips,
Looking at everyone present,

"The Pamires Religion will be integrated into our Order God Religion!"
