Is the Scum Worthy of Whitewashing?

Xu Du's plan was not in vain. After a few days, he went to the auction center again.

This time he just picked up a random item and sold it. After all, amethyst was not easy to process, and he didn't want to be too eye-catching.

This time the goods sold at a price far higher than the value of the goods themselves.

Xu Du smiled slightly, and things were probably as expected.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived backstage, a staff member came to inform him that the guests in the highest-level private room wanted to see him.

"understood."

Xu Du walked into the box on the highest level. Inside was an old man with dark sunglasses, which seemed to be used to hide his identity.

"My host hopes that the person who made that amethyst can go to this dinner in person."

He handed over an invitation. The hard black card was printed with bronzing patterns, which was low-key and luxurious.

The old man said nothing more and left soon.

Judging from his behavior, it is speculated that he is a character such as a family housekeeper.

Xu Du thoughtfully watched his back disappear, and then focused on the invitation in his hand.

There will be a banquet tomorrow night.

The address is clearly written in the invitation. If Xu Du remembers correctly, it should be the private residence of the leader of Base A, He Yimin.

He Yimin’s only daughter, He Yuya, and Xu Shirong’s current wife, has a hobby of all kinds of rare gems. I also like to enjoy the pleasure of auction, so I often appear in the top private rooms of the auction house in the central city.

After Xu Du found out her movements, he specifically chose to auction the amethyst on the day when He Yuya appeared.

Whether it is out of love for beautiful gems or its wonderful effects, Xu Du thinks He Yuya will not refuse.

Of course, He Yuya was only used as a fishing line, and Xu Du had to hang it, He Yimin, Xu Shirong's father-in-law.

Although He Yimin is not necessarily interested in gems, as the leader of A base, I am afraid that he can't resist this kind of medicine that can resist zombies.

Only by gaining the appreciation of the leaders of A base can Xu Shirong be completely overthrown. Otherwise, relying on his popularity and influence in the A base, Xu Du will find it difficult to stand alone.

Hejia private house.

The hall was arranged as a spacious banquet venue, with coquettish ambitions, and all kinds of guests were talking to each other.

People are wearing glamorous clothes, holding red wine glasses and talking and laughing. If you only look at this group of people, you can't imagine that this is the end of the world where mankind survives, and you don't know that there are poor people in the base whose windows are leaking. The district, the people there, even their survival has become a problem.

Xu Du casually found a sofa to sit down and leaned on the sofa pier. He was not interested in the greetings between the guests.

Bored and idle, he approached the aquarium next to the sofa pier. There were several colorful goldfish in it. The tails were like soft and thin petals, swaying gracefully in the water, wandering back and forth slowly, very comfortable.

There is no such good-looking goldfish in the real world, it should be a rare mutant species of this era.

Xu Du's fingertips touched the aquarium lightly, through the glass, teasing the fish.

"You like the fish here?"

It's a girl's voice, very immature.

Xu Du turned his head and saw a little girl in a pink tutu, about five or six years old, with round eyes, looking at him curiously.

I think this is the jewel in the palm of Xu Shirong and He Yuya, He Xueying.

In theory, this girl should still be the half-sister of the original owner, half-blooded.

"It's not like I really like it." Xu Du replied lightly.

He was just waiting boringly.

"I don't like why you want to watch it?" He Xueying blinked suspiciously, thought about it, and then asked, "Are you a guest here too? I have never seen someone as young as you, just like me... if you Yes, can I be a'warrior' too? Just like Grandpa said?"

Xu Du thought with a thought, and showed a gentle smile: "Can you tell me more about the banquet? I'm very interested."

"Um."

The little girl nodded. She didn't have any playmates of the same age on weekdays. She rarely met a child of her own age and started talking enthusiastically.

The children's words are unconstrained, but Xu Du still summed up some useful information.

The invitation letter for this banquet was actually an olive branch handed out by He Yimin, specifically to recruit some talents for the base, especially the explorers who can participate in the pioneering activities outside the base, that is, the "warriors" in He Xueying's mouth.

The resources of the base are limited and will be exhausted one day. Some people must take risks and fight with zombies and alien creatures to find more resources and land. Therefore, the base usually establishes a special team, who undergoes special training, and is engaged in dangerous tasks.

Of course, risks are accompanied by opportunities. Joining this team will be at your fingertips, whether it is honor, money or status.

In this dinner, apart from some good friends with the He family, and some businessmen who provided funds, the rest are highly valued candidates like Xu Du, who will be taken to He Yimin's study in private for an interview.

Xu Du was about to ask for more detailed information, but he heard a gentle male voice.

"Yingying, why did you run downstairs? Didn't your mother tell you not to come down casually?"

A man walked behind He Xueying and picked her up with a petting smile on his face.

"Dad?" He Xueying pouted, "The upstairs is too boring, so they ran down secretly, don't tell mom..."

"Then go up quickly. I should go to bed later." Xu Shirong smiled and touched her head. "But my father is very busy today, so I won't tell you the story... Be good, okay tomorrow? "

"Dad is always like this." He Xueying made a grimace, but obediently let Xu Shirong hand her over to the maid and brought her back upstairs.

After He Xueying left, Xu Shirong turned her head to look, and smiled affectionately at Xu Du.

"I told you to laugh, Yingying is usually spoiled, and she has to be coaxed." He said, "...Don't talk about this. Are you Xu Du, right? It's really rare. Among the candidates in the past few years, I have never seen a child like you, how old are you this year?"

"Seven years old."

"You look very mature." Xu Shirong looked at him with a smile, and was silent for a while, before suddenly saying, "It's a coincidence that you also have the surname Xu. We have the same surname... By the way, where are your parents? You are a child alone. Are they not worried here?"

"Only one person is allowed to come to the invitation." Xu Du said, "What's more, my father died very early. Only my mother raised me."

"Sorry." Xu Shirong patted him on the shoulder. "It touched your sadness... I didn't mean it."

"I'm not sad." Xu Du gave him a surprised look: "I don't have any impression of him at all. Why is it sad to say that?"

"If it is to show filial piety and benevolence, it is completely unnecessary, because this is a place to speak with strength, right?"

Xu Shirong was stunned, then looked at the child in front of him again, and then laughed out: "Your idea is very special, but it's true."

Sure enough, Xu Shirong liked this argument, because this man was also a lover in nature-no matter how he put on a gentle face, he couldn't conceal his inner desire for power and profit.

"Alright." Xu Du said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, can you take me to Mr. He's study now? I don't want him to wait too long.",
