冇幾耐，晚宴就正式開始喇。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMBaEHsCTn
小提琴同弦樂聲停咗，所有人都停止傾偈，望向大廳中間條長樓梯。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWQgpXGoMp
只見楚山河微笑住由長樓梯行落嚟，高舉酒杯環視一圈：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8eSUZG7YF
「歡迎各位！今日各位科學界嘅泰斗、商界嘅才俊都齊齊蒞臨，真係令我楚某人呢度蓬蓽生輝呀！哈哈哈哈哈……」
大廳響起雷動嘅掌聲。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuQmD4zsvz
林弦頭先淨係睇到楚山河個背影，非常魁梧，呢吓先有機會睇到楚山河個樣。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1al6Rjyrx
佢目光如炬，方正嘅臉龐上面刻住輪廓分明端正嘅五官。呢個樣放喺佢後生嗰個年代……應該都算係標準靚仔。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZigaAj06xb
就算楚山河已經年過半百，但仍然睇得出佢精神健碩，血氣方剛。眼前嘅佢雖然面露微笑、一副和藹可親嘅模樣，但佢畢挺嘅身軀所蘊含嘅肅殺之氣不怒而威，令人不禁屏住呼吸。
等掌聲落咗，楚山河亦都緩緩行落長樓梯，嚟到大廳中間。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0JmIaFBzN
佢聲音洪亮、氣勢雄厚：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMG2bdtydT
「咁多年以嚟，我一直堅信科學技術就係第一生產力！我哋能夠有今日咁樣嘅生活，祖國能夠有而家嘅繁榮富強，全部都離唔開科技嘅發展！離唔開科研工作者嘅艱苦奮鬥、辛勤付出！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDADYTzBgv
「我相信，任何一個行業嘅發展，背後都離唔開科技嘅支持。嗰啲默默無聞、日夜研究嘅科學家們，先係我哋最應該尊敬同敬佩嘅英雄！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCQqWmqJVH
「好似我呢種才疏學淺嘅人……只係食到時代紅利，僥倖喺東海呢塊地站穩陣腳。真係講起對社會、對國家嘅貢獻，根本比唔上科研工作者嘅一分一毫！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Umg6JmQpP
「呢個亦係我今日舉辦呢場科學募捐晚宴嘅目的！希望各位年輕嘅商業才俊，都可以多啲關注科研領域嘅發展！為我哋祖國科技事業嘅騰飛，貢獻自己嘅一份力量！」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9oGfhkGZx
「其他嘢我亦都唔多講喇——」
楚山河放低酒杯，高高舉起右手食指：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejy2Z0Y81f
「山河集團！為東海市科學發展基金捐款一億！」
全場嘩然。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKwswGphLo
一開波就係一億。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLLQJsEGen
楚山河會長實在係太大手筆喇掛。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFetMoffZQr
滿場震驚之後，即刻響起空前熱烈嘅掌聲，四圍都係讚美聲。
然而，呢個仲未完。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiYCF9tkJA
等掌聲落咗，楚山河再次攞起支咪，微笑講道：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8x15GxKq
「頭先係代表集團表個態，唔足以表達我個人對於科學研究者嘅敬佩。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNlXUToFj
「而家，我再以個人名義！再捐款一億！」
一時間全場轟動！39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMI8bEeeO4
兩億！39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbl4s4wkC9
楚山河開場就係兩億！39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh37TWGM0YQ
直接將全場氣氛推向高潮！39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UH789yamq
下面嗰啲年輕嘅企業家……無一個唔係激動鼓掌、滿眼崇拜。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUQWkzqgdk
睇得出，楚山河喺東海嘅地位同威望都係頂級嘅，而且係令人由衷尊敬、心悅誠服。
……
啪啪啪啪啪啪啪啪啪！39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxorFypgQj
掌聲經久不息。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaxCIfDYRx
林弦呢吓先留意到，頭先高傲到不得了、不食人間煙火嘅許雲教授……呢個時候竟然都喺度激動鼓掌，眼神入面充滿敬仰。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7bpIzEeQ8
呢樣嘢又令林弦幾意外嘅。
「嗰個許雲教授，好似好崇拜楚山河喎。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ107Rf9H0bC
林弦細細聲講道。
趙英珺笑住搖搖頭：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOaGD5f6B7
「邊個男人唔想成為楚山河呀？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvYAmNajbN
「不過許教授咁畀面楚山河，係有其他原因嘅。楚山河頭先啲說話可唔係隨口噏㗎，佢呢幾年，一直都好支持龍國嘅科研事業。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLCzHwPDiR
「投資研究所、設立獎學金、資助貧困學生、投資冷門科研項目、協助華裔科學家歸國……佢真係為龍國科學事業做咗好多實事。所以佢喺科研圈子入面嘅聲望好高、名聲好好，好多院士都公開讚過佢。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE12o5vh6T
「咁多年，許教授嘅研究都冇起色……你以為係邊個一路資助佢呀？」
原來係咁。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RS3flYwsr
呢吓林弦明白喇。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbmks3usAi
佢頭先就覺得許雲教授同呢種晚宴格格不入，原來都係睇楚山河塊面。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDbTGT1ubN
但係聽趙英珺講嘅說話，楚山河做呢啲嘢，都算得上係俠之大者喇。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJq3fGAo7O
人哋呢個格局，抵佢地位高，抵佢搵到錢。
……
跟住落嚟。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt40EeuIhl
就係各個企業家捐款嘅環節。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWU787W5W
最少嘅都係幾百萬。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhksJAqPF
趙英珺捐咗一千萬。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8krFioLQ2
睇得出，今日能夠被邀請入場嘅，都唔係普通嘅企業家。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlHAsJ5mN8
楚山河嘅圈子，真係唔係普通人可以融入到嘅，非富則貴只係最基本嘅入場券啫。起碼到目前為止，趙英珺都冇機會同楚山河講到一句嘢。
捐款環節之後，就到咗傳統嘅舞會環節。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6t84gqibi
各種高檔點心同食品擺喺大廳外圍啲枱上面，中間空咗出嚟做舞池。二樓嘅交響樂團正式啟動，古典而優雅嘅弦樂聲響徹成個殿堂。
楚山河唔知幾時走咗，許雲教授喺舞會開始嗰陣就走咗。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj7MzrkAwx
而家，大部分來賓都喺中間舞池跳緊舞，帶住自己舞伴跳返 part 探戈。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIJv1x4bW
少數人坐喺周圍啲枱度享受美食，傾偈作樂。
趙英珺坐喺餐枱旁邊，優雅咁食住點心，品嚐住紅酒。林弦就企喺佢身後。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJmGcQooGE
佢發現……有好多人都想嚟邀請趙英珺跳舞，後生嘅、年紀大嘅都有唔少。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx2alUENpn
但大家見到林弦嘅存在之後，全部都一副恍然大悟嘅樣，然後微微一笑，擰轉頭走咗。
「……不如我企開啲？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCgV8Aj3eZ
林弦彎腰講道。
趙英珺用餐巾印印嘴角，合埋眼：39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHNeP7Rcz5
「你企開啲，咁我帶你嚟嘅意義係乜嘢？」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RuxGWYO3p
「坐低食啲嘢啦。」
……
之後嘅時間就好悶喇。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjjnQ0mVsK
趙英珺坐喺嗰度，合埋眼，若有所思。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3utus9cKU
林弦猜測，佢一定係諗緊點樣說服許雲教授。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXMZKAWaX
佢今日攞出一千萬嚟捐款，估計就係嚟刷許教授好感度嘅。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMkyJOYIt0
但林弦覺得佢啲錢肯定係凍過水喇……39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8ITkhihqJ
許雲教授咁固執、咁倔、真係唔係普通人說服到嘅。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBjLp0v4d4
或者楚山河出面嘅話可以，畢竟佢係資助許雲嘅恩人。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpf8kLnR2E
但係楚山河係咩人物，佢肯定唔會出面幫趙英珺講好說話嘅，兩個人好明顯唔係同一個級數。
「冇行。」39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVPSqi7SVo
林弦唔再考慮呢件事，愛莫能助。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3y4eKT3F8
喺呢班大佬巨頭面前，自己只係個芝麻咁細嘅小人物，掀唔起任何波瀾，甚至引唔起任何注意。
夢境入面，佢都係嗰個城市無法無天嘅大魔王。39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAwNTxOCB0
但喺東海，佢就係粒芝麻，微不足道嘅小芝麻……
