Miss Wolper's Life as an Operator in Rhodes Island

Chapter 173: Eaters and eaters’ souls!

"Welcome Officer Xingxiong and Miss Fengling. Mr. Wei asked me to tell the guests that they can do whatever they want at the banquet."

There was no need for invitations or anything like that. When Xingxiong brought Feng Ling to the door of the banquet hall, a waiter came to greet them.

Judging from the other party's experienced posture, he should be both a waiter and the first line of security on the scene.

"Okay." Xingxiong responded, then pulled the wind chime and entered the scene under the guidance of the waiter.

"Hmm...it seems this isn't a very formal dinner."

After walking away from the waiter who was welcoming them at the door, Xingxiong whispered to Fengling.

"Is it because of the waiter's address to Governor Wei?"

Feng Ling naturally heard some clues.

Generally speaking in Longmen, Wei Yanwu is usually addressed as "Governor Wei". If it is in occasions like the Longmen Guard Bureau, he is addressed as "Commander Wei".

If you use "Mr. Wei", it is a less formal occasion.

"You've heard that Longmen's celebrities and high-ranking officials from all walks of life are invited, but you still define this dinner as an 'informal occasion'?"

What's more, this kind of thing was not mentioned at the beginning.

It is estimated that many of the invitees made serious preparations, but after arriving here they found that there was no need to be so nervous.

The purpose of this kind of benign psychological gap is to make people breathe a sigh of relief and relax a little.

Afterwards, such a relaxed environment will make it easier to promote the progress of some things.

But for Feng Ling, this is a matter of no consequence at all.

After meeting important people like this many times, I've really gotten used to it.

Coupled with Xi's repeated reminders, Feng Ling has become deeply aware of one thing.

At least in Dayan, the higher-ups who know some secrets are more afraid of Feng Ling.

Especially now that the relationship between the older beast fragments and Yan Country is developing towards a better side.

The door of the banquet hall was opened by waiters on both sides, and the full view inside was revealed.

It is more like a Victorian-style dinner for Western aristocrats.

Most of the places are empty, making it convenient for people to walk around and talk. There are plenty of empty seats and dining tables in the corners where people can sit at will.

Various special foods are placed on the tables in the hall, and waiters carrying drinks walk slowly in the hall for guests to get drinks.

At a glance, quite a few people were even wearing casual clothes, and it was obvious that those people were the ones Wei Yanwu had instructed in advance.

It also provides an informal atmosphere for this occasion.

Fengling's cheongsam outfit is quite unique and eye-catching in such an occasion.

And when one really looks at Feng Ling, one can naturally see her beautiful appearance and figure. At the same time, she still has the liveliness of a young girl.

A little light makeup makes the wind chimes' temperament more prominent.

The earring on the fox's right ear, which was attached to the hair and looked like a hairpin, could be called the finishing touch, adding just the right amount of luxury to the wind chime. However, most of the people who knew what the earring represented chose to silently retract their gazes, not daring to look directly at the wind chime.

At a dinner party, the host and the guest are relative to each other.

It depends on the situation whether the guests should follow the host's wishes. For a dinner of this level, I'm afraid not everyone can really treat it as "informal".

There are still many people who smile hypocritically, exchange politeness with others, and then try to gain some benefits.

What to do at a dinner like this?

If someone represents a certain force or a certain company, they will naturally go and chat with that person instead of caring about the dinner itself.

Feng Ling is a down-to-earth person.

Coincidentally, Xingxiong is also a down-to-earth person.

In addition, their acquaintances seemed to have not arrived yet, so the two of them resolutely chose to eat.

For this buffet-style meal, even Feng Ling was too lazy to bother the waiter. After taking two large plates, various meats were piled on the plates like a small mountain, and finally some fruits and vegetables were added to relieve the greasiness.

Amid the stunned gazes of the crowd, Feng Ling and Xing Xiong took their plates and found a relatively quiet seat to sit down.

"Xiao Ling, your appetite has increased again? But you don't seem to have grown much taller."

Xingxiong was still very surprised when he looked at Fengling's plate.

Feng Ling used to eat quite a bit, but even so, she seemed a little malnourished.

There is nothing wrong with my complexion now, I am very healthy, but my appetite has obviously increased as well.

But Feng Ling did miss the best opportunity to grow taller. Among women, her height is not short, but she is not tall either.

Especially when standing next to a tall and mature lady like Xingxiong, the contrast is even stronger.

"Anyway, I can consume it all. I won't starve myself now!" Feng Ling put away the folding fan she was holding casually, picked up the knife and fork, and said, "Eat, eat!"

"I'm gonna start now!"

Feng Ling's eating movements, thanks to her previous experience in Syracuse, have been well practiced, emphasizing quickness yet elegance.

Are you really here to eat?

In public, Fengling and Xingxiong's behavior of eating a lot of food was naturally seen by everyone present.

After all, it was a dinner party initiated by Governor Longmen. Although there were no rules on the surface, this was a bit too casual, wasn't it?

However, although many people secretly complained, no one came up to mock them. There were no real fools among those who were invited here.

Instead, it was the wind chimes that started it all, which led many people to decide to follow suit.

Because Feng Ling looks so delicious!

"Waiter, give me a meal too, just like Miss Wolper's, but a little less. I can't eat too much."

"Haha, I'll have one too, but don't give me less. I can't eat worse than a girl, can I?"

The scene gradually became strange.

The people here are all used to eating delicacies from land and sea. Even though the meals here are made by Longmen's top chefs, they actually do not attract guests who have their own concerns.

If you can't enjoy food purely, no matter how delicious the food is, its taste will be compromised.

But beautiful emotions can be transmitted to each other, especially when the source is a beautiful girl.

Because it had eaten something delicious, the fox was so happy that its tail was wagging actively, and its ears were also trembling rhythmically from time to time because of its happy mood.

Is it really that delicious?

When such doubts take root in your heart, some annoying things will naturally be put aside and you can focus on the food itself.

In addition, the food on display was indeed the top-notch delicacies that Longmen could make - so it was no surprise that the dinner turned into a large-scale eating party.

"That's right, that's right! Of course we should eat first when there's something delicious! There's no time to talk about those messy things!"

Feng Ling chewed while watching the changing atmosphere around him and nodded in agreement.

On the second floor of the banquet hall, Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu looked at the situation on the scene with a rare subtle expression on his face.

Chapter 174 Sir Chen in formal attire

As the host of the banquet, Wei Yanwu arranged the dinner to highlight the "casualness", in fact, it was not for others, but because of the wind chimes.

There's nothing we can do. It's obvious that this little girl is soft-hearted and won't respond to tough calls.

What happened in Gouwu City a few days ago has spread among the upper echelons of Yan State. Knowing that Rhodes Island is about to go to Longmen, Wei Yanwu is trying to arrange such a dinner meeting.

If he were to invite him directly, Feng Ling might find it troublesome and not give him the honor - Feng Ling really does have the qualifications to do so now.

Whether among the fragments of the Year Beast or in the upper levels of the Great Flame, the wind chime is currently very popular.

Even the usually serious Grand Tutor would speak up to support Feng Ling when the court was discussing the matter... One can imagine the pressure Wei Yanwu faced.

If it was someone else, it would be fine.

Although he is currently in Longmen, far away from the center of Dayan, the current Taifu is also Wei Yanwu's respected teacher, and his attitude towards Feng Ling will also affect Wei Yanwu's choice.

What?

Win them over! Is there any other choice?

Now that the choice has been made, all that remains is execution.

As the governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu is naturally very capable and has strong mobility.

Feng Ling's character was easy to see through, so Wei Yanwu took advantage of Xingxiong's invitation to make something of it.

However, this process still requires caution, and one should try not to cause Feng Ling's disgust - thinking of this, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but laugh and cry.

How long had it been since he had tried so hard to win over someone? And she was just a young girl.

In Longmen, he basically has to be surrounded by others. He hasn't had such an experience in the opposite direction for some years.

"hiss……"

After taking a deep puff from his pipe, Wei Yanwu put out the cigarette and cleared away the residue.

The time is almost up, and it’s time for him, as the master of the house, to show up.

The door opened and Wei Yanwu walked out.

To be honest, even though the dinner was intended to be "casual", Wei Yanwu did not expect the atmosphere to become so lively.

After instructing his men to replenish the food, Wei Yanwu looked at the scene in front of him.

Some people who, in his eyes, usually had two faces, now put aside their disguises, focused on the meal in front of them, and shared their gourmet experiences with others.

"Humph, these guys... look much more pleasing to the eye than usual." Wei Yanwu's dragon head, which had a higher degree of animalization, grinned, "If they don't play tricks, it won't be so difficult to communicate with them."

Having said that, the person who is probably the most cunning at the scene is naturally the Governor of Longmen.

Wei Yanwu did not choose to interrupt the atmosphere by speaking politely, but chose to enter quietly, took a glass of red wine and shook it lightly, signaling the guests around him not to pay attention to him, and then waited silently.

After all, no matter what, Wei Yanwu is the governor of Longmen. No matter who he talks to first, others will guess his attitude and magnify his every word and action.

So at this moment, it is even more impossible for him to go directly to Feng Ling, otherwise he will only bring a lot of trouble to Feng Ling.

Wei Yanwu needed a middleman who could show his attitude, and someone who would not seem awkward if he took the initiative to talk to him.

"It's almost time."

The door opened again, and a figure in a white long dress slowly walked in.

Her long blue hair was unbraided, and her usual sharp red eyes were not visible.

Less capable and more gentle.

Chen Huijie walked in like this.

"No! No!"

Feng Ling quickly swallowed the food in her mouth.

"Then that person couldn't be Mr. Chen, right?"

Because the contrast was too strong, Feng Ling couldn't help but be surprised.

"Ha, I've already said it, Lao Chen is simply scary when she wears a skirt. If you ask me, maybe this is what Lao Chen should look like. Her look of not being easy to mess with is purely acquired through training." Xingxiong obviously wasn't the first time he had seen it, so he didn't show any strange expression.

After all, she had seen it shortly after joining the Guards.

One day, Xingxiong was riding a motorcycle on the streets of Longmen on a holiday when he saw Chen Huijie, who was dressed in a gorgeous lolita. He was so shocked that he almost fell off the bike.

But Chen Huijie's talent is also to allocate rest and work to perfection.

It is precisely because we can distinguish clearly that we can be efficient at work.

It was not surprising that the Governor of Longmen prioritized talking to the Chief of the Longmen Guards. Moreover, there was basically no benefit value in this situation. Many people who had been eager to try to listen lost interest.

"Sir, it's hard to see you on weekdays. How come you have the time to hold such a grand banquet today?"

Chen Huijie looked at Wei Yanwu with calm eyes, as if asking casually.

Wei Yanwu wasn't annoyed, he just had a slight smile on his face whose true meaning was hard to tell.
