Duan Hengye, who was single until he died in his previous life, sadly realized that he had no experience in dealing with a love rival. The scariest thing was that his rationality told him that if he didn't accept the other party's visit request, then this matter would definitely be used to make a big deal out of it.
Since he had come to Anluo to participate in the conference, he had to meet with the sponsor as well. But it seemed like the meeting location would be changed from the conference to his own residence.
He helplessly looked at the photon computer. Duan Hengye still accepted Wen Mujia's visit request. Although Amro's campus was large, it didn't take long to get there by hover car. After a while, Duan Hengye heard a notification sound coming from the mansion's entrance. He stood up from the sofa and turned to look outside the house.
In all fairness, in the book "Star Flipping", any famous character's appearance was definitely on the Star Galactic Excellence Line. And as someone who was on the Star Galactic Headlines for "pursuing the marshal" in his early years, Wen Mujia's appearance once again defeated 99% of the people in the world.
Before Duan Hengye walked to the door, he saw Wen Mujia wearing a dark blue dress. His slightly long hair was slightly curly, and he was standing at the door smiling at him.
Although he hadn't said a word yet, after seeing Wen Mujia standing at the door, Duan Hangye, who had read all kinds of melodramatic novels, intuitively felt that the other party was bringing out the aura of attending his ex's wedding to see him — no! What kind of strange metaphor is this?
The serious Professor Duan shook his head and got rid of the strange thought in his mind. He walked to the door and extended his hand. "Hello." He very formally greeted Wen Mujia.
Although the original host and Meng Jinhuai didn't have any feelings for each other, he was still an undercover agent. So even after getting married, the original host had always regarded Wen Mujia, who was a threat to his marriage, as an obstacle in his mission. Therefore, every time he met him, his face would always be dark.
Correspondingly, as a typical Galactic Millionaire, Wen Mujia didn't have the slightest fear when facing the president of the Mecha Research Institute … Instead, he often talked about him in public.
Similar incidents happened many times. Although the royal family and Nan zhuxing intentionally suppressed the news, gossip was like a virus when it spread. It didn't take long for a lot of people to know that Wen Mujia and Duan Hengye didn't like each other.
Although the news was always in the "gossip" state, after a while, the three words "Duan Hengye" on the Star Web for "Wen Mujia". It was even higher than the marshal, Wen Mujia's parents.
Although the original host was cold, he was always polite on the surface. But when it came to Wen Mujia, he didn't even bother to greet the other party properly.
Duan Hengye didn't realize that this was the first time "he" shook hands with his "love rival".
When Wen Mujia saw Duan Hengye's calm face, he paused for a moment. He was about the same height as Duan Hengye. When Wen Mujia saw that the other person wanted to shake hands with him, he couldn't help but look at the man in front of him from head to toe. Then, he slowly reached out his hand.
"… Professor Duan, good afternoon."
Wen Mujia came alone. Duan Hengye's residence was already secluded, and now the entire Amro was preparing for the opening ceremony at night. Thus, this strange handshake between the "love rivals" that was supposed to be a bloodbath began peacefully and … ended peacefully.
Duan Hengye didn't know why Wen Mujia came, but he was already very familiar with the skill of pretending to be calm. After greeting him, he turned around and brought him into the house.
After the two sat on the sofa, a robot came over and placed the tea on the table. For a moment, the only sound in the house was the soft sound of the tea set hitting the wooden table. It was particularly clear. Wen Mujia touched his nose uncomfortably. He had lived for so many years, but he rarely experienced such an awkward atmosphere.
Even Wen Mu Jia began to suspect that Duan Hangye's rank was too high. Was he deliberately trying to make things awkward?
Regardless of personal feelings, as the conference's biggest sponsor, Wen Mujia personally invited Duan Hengye to the opening ceremony. In addition to personal feelings, he also wanted to see what Duan Hengye was like in private. However, he didn't expect that not only did Duan Hengye not speak, but he also didn't even look at him.
Wen Mujia couldn't help but look at Duan Hengye out of the corner of his eye. What is this guy trying to do?
Wen Mujia was in a state of restlessness, but Duan Hengye was different. The recent miraculous events had already tempered Professor Duan's heart to be incomparably strong, and his perception of "awkwardness" was much weaker. Seeing that Wen Mujia was sitting there without speaking, Duan Hengye didn't speak either.
After the robot placed the tea on the table, Duan Hengye skillfully picked up the small jade teapot and poured the tea into the small light green cup in front of Wen Mujia. The whole set of movements was as smooth as flowing water. Wen Mujia, who was sitting at the side, was stunned.
Although it was only two simple actions, Duan Hengye's familiarity made Wen Mujia wonder if he had learned the tea ceremony before.
When Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai got married, Wen Mujia's scandal had been over for a while. However, he still investigated Duan Hengye thoroughly, just like how people on Earth would investigate their ex. Wen Mujia carefully recalled his investigation of Duan Hengye, and then confirmed that Duan Hengye had indeed not learned the tea ceremony before.
Although he had always been confident in his investigation, when he thought about the attack a while ago … Wen Mujia looked at the teacup in front of him suspiciously, and then slowly picked it up.
In his impression, although Duan Hengye had a sense of alienation that kept people thousands of miles away, it wasn't like now, where he could vaguely feel a sense of oppression between his actions. Although he didn't want to admit it, Duan Hengye's temperament was becoming more and more similar to Meng Jinhuai's …
Finally, Wen Mujia opened his mouth to break the silence. He spoke to Duan Hengye with rare politeness, "Professor Duan, the news of you coming to Amro has spread throughout the Galaxy. You are the Dean of the Ye Tian Mecha Research Institute. Everyone is looking forward to seeing you at the opening ceremony. "
Although he didn't get along with Duan Hengye, Wen Mujia had his own way of speaking as he grew up in the business world.
The original host had been ignoring Wen Mujia most of the time, so he couldn't find any useful information about him from his memories. Duan Hangye only felt that, after all, he didn't really hate Wen Mujia, so he couldn't be like the original owner, always giving people a black face.
Since Duan Hengye came to this conference, he came with the purpose of interacting with his peers. It was just that Duan Hengye hadn't completely decided whether or not to participate in the opening ceremony.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wen Mujia sensed something. As a passable heir of a family, Wen Mujia's personality was unruly, willful, and willful, but he was still very professional when it came to work.
Putting aside his personal feelings, he was the sponsor of this conference, and purely out of interest, he was looking forward to Duan Hengye attending the opening ceremony.
"Professor Duan, don't worry. The main flow of this event has already been arranged. You don't need to give a speech, you just need to show your face." Wen Mujia paused for a moment before continuing, "After all, the news of your arrival at Amro has already spread throughout the galaxy. The selection event just ended not too long ago, so the galactic media is paying a lot of attention."
Wen Mujia was right. Although the surroundings looked very peaceful, Duan Hengye was in fact already standing in the eye of the galactic storm. His every word and action was being watched by hundreds of millions of people, waiting for their attention to diverge.
More importantly, this was a conference of the mecha research community, and it was time for him to officially show his face in front of these peers. His words reminded Duan Hengye that if he wanted to truly gain a foothold at the top of the pyramid, a suitable appearance was also very important.
Unlike the previous visit, the overall atmosphere of this Mecha Conference was much more relaxed. Take the media for example; they did not need to apply for an interview qualification in advance, so all the media with some reputation in the galaxy had sent people today.
After hearing the news that Duan Hengye had arrived at Amro in the afternoon, the reporters who had been resting were all energized. Although Duan Hengye had not appeared since his arrival, the media's enthusiasm did not diminish.
There was no red carpet for the opening ceremony. The guests were free to enter, and the reporters from all walks of life stayed behind to interview and record news material. There were less than ten minutes left before the ceremony officially began, and basically all the guests had already arrived. Because most of the participants were famous scholars in the mecha research community, everyone gathered together to chat about academic topics. Thus, although the hall was lively, it was not noisy.
Under this atmosphere, although the reporters wished they could stand at the door and stick their heads out to wait for Duan Hengye to appear, they still restrained themselves and kept their cool.
Time passed just like that, minute by minute, second by second. Suddenly, the entrance of the hall became lively. Because the interview area was rather remote, the reporters could not see the scene at the entrance. They only saw a group of people suddenly stop chatting, and then uniformly look at the entrance.
Could it be that Duan Hengye is here?
Although they had already mentally prepared themselves for the possibility that Professor Duan might come to the scene, when they suddenly saw this scene, the reporters could not help but feel nervous.
At this moment, all the cameras in the interview area were pointed at the entrance of the hall.
Then they saw … a man in a dark blue suit appear at the entrance. Wait, why is it Wen Mujia? In an instant, everyone in the interview area had an extremely disappointed expression on their faces.
As the sponsor of this event, Wen Mujia should have been the main subject of the reporters' photos. But the strange thing was, ever since they had some expectations that "Duan Hengye might come to the scene" in their hearts, when they saw Wen Mujia appear in front of them, their hearts did not waver at all.
In the interview area, one of the more senior reporters stared at the broadcast on the screen and sighed. After hearing this, his colleague standing next to him couldn't help but curiously ask, "What's wrong, brother? Is the picture not good?"
The reporter shook his head and said, "Do you know the relationship between Professor Duan and Wen Mujia?"
As a reporter, it was compulsory for them to grasp the relationship and dynamics of interstellar celebrities, not to mention this kind of thing that everyone knew about. After hearing the question, the other reporter thought for a moment and said, "Oh — —". "Love rival!" His tone was slightly disappointed when he said the last sentence.
Duan Hengye was not a person who liked to appear in public, let alone appear at the same event as his love rival.
This conference was mainly for industry discussions. Other than the opening and closing ceremony, there were no interviews or filming sessions. After seeing Wen Mujia appear, all of the reporters tacitly agreed that Duan Hengye would not be present. Although they were a little disappointed, this was still within their expectations.
"Okay, okay …" The senior reporter who spoke just now patted his colleague's shoulder and said, "Don't look anymore, let's adjust the equipment now. We still have to film the venue later. Don't be too disappointed, Duan Hengye is not a person you can easily meet. You're still young, there will be opportunities in the future — "
"Wait a minute … Wait a minute!" The younger reporter suddenly took the other person's hand off his shoulder. His eyes widened as he stuttered uncontrollably, "Professor … Duan … Duan!"
The other reporter caught the words "Professor Duan" and immediately turned his attention back to the entrance of the hall. "What?"
Wen Mujia, who entered the door, did not leave. Instead, he stood at the door and turned around to look outside. Following Wen Mujia's line of sight, a man in black slowly appeared at the entrance of the hall.
The guests attending today's academic conference were all dressed very low-key. Almost all of them wore black suits and ties, and the man in front of him was no exception. However, this black suit without any decorations gave him a different feeling. To put it in a tacky way, it was as if he had walked out of a fashion magazine.
The reporter blinked his eyes hard, then let out a long breath and slowly moved the camera back to the door.
Duan Hengye actually appeared, and he was with Wen Mujia?
What kind of galactic event is this?
Actually, the moment Duan Hengye stood at the entrance, he had the same thought as the reporter. What kind of galactic event is this?
When he left his residence this afternoon, Wen Mujia clearly said that he would be the first to arrive. That was why Duan Hengye decided to come … He didn't expect that Wen Mujia would also arrive at this time.
If the person who appeared here was the original host, he would definitely not think too much. But Duan Hangye was different. The second he saw Wen Mujia, the bullet screen in his mind had already started to flood crazily, and he even imagined how the Star Web media would describe the two of them in the same frame.
"Welcome, Professor Duan," said Wen Mujia with a smile as he walked over to Duan Hengye.
The original host didn't have a deep impression of Wen Mu Jia, but at this moment, when the other party smiled at him like this, Duan Hangye finally connected him with the faint impression in his mind.
Every time Wen Mujia went against him, he would smile like this.
This guy is definitely doing it on purpose!
Taking a deep look at Wen Mujia, Duan Hangye, who had been single until death in his previous life, finally understood what it meant to have "malice" from a love rival.
