Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 106 - 102: Guan Yue Returns, Two Honor Medals
The hotel staff didn’t dare to interrupt Lu Lin’s promotion banquet; they only sent personnel to intercept customers at the front of the hotel.
Today, Junsheng Hotel is not serving walk-in guests. Even guests attending the banquet in private rooms must follow the guidance of Junsheng Hotel and the Detective Department to enter the hotel from a different entry.
The hotel also specially assembled top chefs to prepare dishes for Lu Lin’s promotion banquet.
At this moment, the issue is no longer just about Lu Lin’s promotion banquet.
From the perspective of Junsheng Hotel, the presence of the Governor and Elder Cen here, for whatever purpose, ensures Junsheng Hotel’s leading position in the Northern Continent’s hotel industry moving forward.
Not showing their best skills at this time would mean losing out on a golden opportunity.
As Bai Jingwei and Cen Xian sat down, the waitstaff began to serve the dishes like flowing water.
Lu Lin, who was initially accompanying Governor Bai, suddenly glanced at the hotel entrance.
He froze immediately.
Guan Yue?!
Seeing her looking travel-worn, perhaps just off the airplane, followed by several members of the Star Guide Association, with Zheng Yulong among them.
"Governor Bai, a friend of mine has arrived; I’ll go greet them."
Governor Bai nodded; he wasn’t really there just for the meal.
Yesterday’s meeting did not reach a unified opinion among the Nine Stars Governors.
Their reason was that Lu Lin’s current ability was not strong enough.
Rather than hastily setting policy planning affecting the federation for decades to come, it seemed a bit rushed.
It’s better to give Lu Lin some time to grow, while simultaneously collecting more information on the Exotic Beast Clan and selecting clans that are friendlier to humans for contact.
In initial contacts, humans can provide the Exotic Beast Clan with some food supplies or methods to enhance the survival rate of their offspring.
In the Exotic Battlefield, clans engage in annual wars, making newborn exotic beasts highly susceptible to natural enemies or battle-related casualties.
Due to such a decision, Governor Bai has no choice but to temporarily shelve the "importance of Lu Lin" plan.
However, despite the temporary shelving of this plan, Bai Jingwei believes that with Lu Lin’s exceptional talents, even as a regular student starting university life, Lu Lin will exhibit remarkable performances in a series of events.
This time, Bai Jingwei is attending Lu Lin’s promotion banquet at Junsheng Hotel, specifically to give Lu Lin a unique Saturnian stamp in advance.
Anyone who sees Lu Lin’s genius traits and wants to recruit him in the future will at least have to consider whether Bai Jingwei will agree.
In Zhao Lei’s expectation, he was surprised that the Governor, who wanted to compete for Lu Lin, had similar thoughts.
This is undoubtedly a case of, "Compete for others, others will always compete for you."
"President Guan, what brings you here? I thought you couldn’t come back from elsewhere."
Guan Yue lightly smiled, reaching to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
"You are about to go to university; I can’t miss seeing you off."
"Lu Lin, do your best."
"Yeah, I’ll do my best."
Lu Lin led the group into the hotel, dispersing them. Guan Yue brought several Star Guides to sit at Wan Fugang’s table.
Zheng Yulong sat together with Wang Juan and Da Xiang.
While sitting down, Zheng Yulong looked curiously at Wang Juan and Da Xiang.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he sat down and started chatting with everyone.
The governor’s presence left the performers on stage unsure of how to proceed.
These local artists, with some not well-connected, had never even been to East Forest, let alone performed for the Governor.
Guan Pingchao urged them twice before the singers decided to perform a choir piece on stage.
"The Federals Who March Forward Bravely"
As this song was performed, almost everyone in the hotel joined in singing, with an overwhelmingly enthusiastic atmosphere.
But after the song ended, the scene returned to the previous ambiance.
The singers packed up their things and bid farewell.
The entire hotel hall was quiet.
Bai Jingwei smiled and turned to chat with Lu Lin and Cen Xian. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Ultimately, Bai Jingwei stayed for less than half an hour before leaving with his entourage. Since he was sitting here, Lu Lin’s promotion banquet was almost impossible to conduct; everyone was afraid to speak, and ate cautiously.
Before leaving, Bai Jingwei presented Lu Lin with a medal.
[Saturnian Honorary Citizen]
The medal had no Star Power enhancement, but he informed Lu Lin that in life-and-death battles or when entering the Exotic Battlefield, wearing this medal could save his life once.
Lu Lin cautiously accepted it.
Cen Xian also gave him a medal.
[Federation Honorary Soldier]
This medal was not as luxurious as Bai Jingwei’s, but simply allowed Lu Lin to have the identity of a soldier, enabling him to seek protection and help from the City Defense Army anywhere.
Zhao Lei glared at the departing two; once again, he was falling behind.
Eat.
Lu Lin, the genius whom Zhao Lei discovered first.
"Lu Lin!"
Just after seeing the Governor and the elite off.
A voice suddenly rang out at the hotel entrance, and as Lu Lin turned to look, he immediately smiled.
It was Jiang Yueming, whom they had fiercely drained last night.
Why had he come?
Lu Lin went up to him, "Old Jiang, details are not as good as serendipitous encounters. It’s just as well as I’m hosting a promotion banquet today; join us for some food."
"Sure, then I’ll trouble you."
Jiang Yamin didn’t refuse, following Lu Lin into the hotel together.
Lu Lin thought for a moment and arranged for him to sit at Guan Pingchao’s table.
He was curious to see how Jiang Yueming would behave among a group of fighters from the Wild Kill Martial Arts Hall.
This was purely a little playful mischief on Lu Lin’s part.
Jiang Yamin didn’t mind, sitting down to enjoy the meal on his own, seemingly intent on reimbursing the cost of last night’s treat with his meal.
After arranging for Jiang Yamin, Lu Lin went around with a wine cup, toasting tables one by one.
First came the family relatives, cousins, and aunts, each coming forward to pat Lu Lin on the shoulder or arm, expressing their concern for him.
There were even two younger cousins, brought by their parents to promise solemnly that they would learn from brother Lu Lin and definitely not use the personal terminal to play games.
This scene elicited a burst of laughter from everyone.
Next were classmates and teachers at those tables; Lu Lin toasted each one. The elementary class advisor and the physical education teacher were quite surprised today.
Who would have expected that a boy who seemed clever back then would, after just graduating high school, connect with Bai Jingwei and Cen Xian? Who could have guessed?
They earnestly encouraged Lu Lin and advised the other students, stating that no matter what position they held or work they did, they were contributing to Green City, Saturn, and the United Federal Human.
The teacher’s earnest teachings still echoed in everyone’s ears. Lu Lin was pulled by Guan Yue to drink with the Star Guides at their table.
Several times Guan Yue wanted to boldly confess her feelings to Lu Lin, but she either hesitated or was interrupted by others.
After watching Lu Lin drink two cups of wine and then leave for the Tata City Guard and Linbei City Guard’s table, Guan Yue felt somewhat wistful.
This time, the words she didn’t say; who knows when she’ll next see Lu Lin.
She agonized over this choice all day and night yesterday and finally decided at dawn to return and see Lu Lin one more time.
She specifically pulled Zheng Yulong and two other Star Guides as an excuse.
But in this setting, Guan Yue hesitated again.
Forget it.
Guan Yue shook her head and sat down, eating the food at the table without any appetite.
