Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2200 Strong sense of ritual
These competitions are all tests of brain power, that is, tests of IQ.In this regard, Niu Xiaoqiang is naturally the king who does his part. He easily won all the victories, and the others didn't even have a chance to answer.

When Niu Xiaoqiang won the last question, all the lights on the dance floor went dark, and a spotlight was projected on Niu Xiaoqiang.

Before Niu Xiaoqiang understood what was going on, he heard the woman wearing a shark mask say in a solemn tone: "Congratulations to Sequoia, you have cleared the game, please come and accept everyone's worship!"

Niu Xiaoqiang thought it was a specially prepared part to enhance the atmosphere, he nodded slightly, stood up and came to the woman in the shark mask.

The woman took a long wooden box from the service staff. When the box was opened, a white cane was found inside.

There is no pattern on the top of this cane, only a blooming flower is inlaid on the top of the cane.The flowers have a total of nine petals, and each petal has a different color, which looks beautiful.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought it was very interesting, he put the cane in his hand with a smile, and then raised his head to show it to everyone.

He thought to himself: This time, I have saved enough face for Kailinna, so she must be very satisfied, right?

All the people who came to the party, including Kailinna, put their right hands on their hearts and bowed to Niu Xiaoqiang.Then everyone lined up and reached out to touch the stick like a child playing house, which seemed to be full of a strong sense of ritual.

Niu Xiaoqiang thought it was fun, smiled and nodded to everyone one by one to return the salute. After the ceremony, everyone started drinking casually, and there was no further competition.

Niu Xiaoqiang returned to his seat and handed the stick to Kailinna: "Kailinna, this reunion of your classmates is quite interesting, and you have come up with so many tricks."

Kailinna took the cane in her hand and looked at it, and then put it into a wooden box: "Let's keep this cane well, as a souvenir."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded, and then asked: "Why don't you chat with those old classmates? Also, why don't they communicate with each other?"

Kailinna picked up her wine glass and said with a smile: "According to our agreement, this party is a masked party. No one is allowed to chat and say hello to each other. If anyone can't help chatting and saying hello to other people, he must run naked on the spot, otherwise I have already gone to chat with you."

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't help laughing: "You old classmates are really interesting. You actually made such a ridiculous rule. It's no wonder that no one has greeted others since the beginning. They only communicate with the partners they brought."

Kailinna looked at her watch and found that it was already nine o'clock in the evening. She said softly, "Xiaoqiang, if you find it boring, let's leave early and go home."

Kailinna spoke with a hint of temptation. Niu Xiaoqiang knew what she was thinking, so he readily nodded and agreed: "As long as your classmates have no objections, we can go back now."

Karina stood up with a smile when she heard the words: "Your performance just now was so amazing that they all lost face. They wish we could leave sooner."

Niu Xiaoqiang thought so, so he stood up and followed Kailinna out of the Windsor Bar.

The two had a very pleasant night after returning home. In the early morning of the next day, Kailinna got up to go to work, and Niu Xiaoqiang didn't sleep late. After breakfast, he arrived at the Boston Parliament building.

As soon as he returned to the United States yesterday, he made an appointment with Professor Watson and Big Robert. Today he will continue to work and complete a major military project.

This project is related to billions of dollars in revenue, so Niu Xiaoqiang attaches great importance to it,
The three greeted each other after they met, and started working immediately after some politeness.

Niu Xiaoqiang is still the same, sitting in the office outside to work.The supervisors sent by the military are all old faces, and the main person in charge of supervision is the No. [-] lady.

Miss No. [-]'s identity is kept secret. In order to facilitate her work, she used her number in the group as her code name, so Niu Xiaoqiang always called her Miss No. [-].

After officially starting work, Miss No. [-] handed a magazine to Niu Xiaoqiang: "Mr. Niu, take a look at this."

Niu Xiaoqiang's work is relatively easy. Normally, he has nothing to do. Only when Professor Watson and Big Robert encounter difficulties, he will ask him to help with ideas.

Anyway, idle is idle, so Niu Xiaoqiang did not refuse the magazine that Miss No. [-] handed over.He held the magazine in front of him and glanced at it, then he couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect Miss No. [-] to give the math problems I explained to you to the magazine and even publish them."

This is a very well-known mathematics journal. Ordinary articles are not recognized by others. Even professional mathematics professors find it difficult to publish articles in this journal.

Miss No. [-] smiled: "I'm really sorry, I sent these contents to the magazine without Mr. Niu's permission, and please forgive me for my presumptuousness."

While speaking, she took out a check from her pocket and handed it to Niu Xiaoqiang: "This is the manuscript fee sent to me by the magazine. They should belong to Mr. Niu."

Miss No. [-] pushed the check in front of Niu Xiaoqiang. Niu Xiaoqiang looked down and found that the denomination of this check was [-] US dollars, and he got [-] US dollars in royalties for just one article, which is considered very good up.

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the signature at the bottom of the article, and found that the signature was his own. He couldn't help but smiled and praised: "Miss No. [-] published this article under my name, and now she's handing over the manuscript fee to me, which shows that you are really A man with a magnanimous heart."

While talking, he returned the check to Miss No. [-]: "I'd better leave the money to you, and treat it as your hard work for helping me publish the article."

Miss No. [-] was about to resign when Big Robert coughed suddenly from the inner office.

Big Robert is obviously reminding the two of them not to talk about these private matters during working hours.

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that Miss No. [-] was a little embarrassed, so he said in a low voice, "Don't be polite to me, lest people be misunderstood by pushing back and forth."

Miss No. [-] said softly, and put the check back into her pocket: "In this case, I will accept it. I will donate the money to the student aid foundation established by Mr. Niu."

Niu Xiaoqiang smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

Next, Niu Xiaoqiang continued to read books to enrich the breadth and depth of his knowledge.

Miss No. [-] is also reading, and seems to want to take the opportunity to improve her knowledge.
