Finn knew that the status of the other party was different now. I am afraid that there are no more than 20 people in the entire Federation who can sit on an equal footing with him. Among his peers, only Adrian is on par with him, but he still couldn't help stabbing him. : "You also know that you are his best friend, why didn't you think about this when you stabbed the knife?"
"This is between him and me, it's not his turn..." Zhong Yan raised his head and glanced at him, "For outsiders."
"It's good that I'm an outsider." Finn said, "Since it's a matter between you, you didn't tell him in advance. You don't agree with human autonomy at all. If you said it earlier, you would say it in the first or second grade , even the third grade said, he... "
"I will move out of the dormitory immediately, and we will never get in trouble with me from now on. You don't need to tell him, I know him better than you." Zhong Yan said calmly, "And, whether it is before or after I started my career, I have never personally opposed him. The so-called 'human autonomy' has made any comments in favor or against, I don't know where your misunderstanding came from."
"At least you should tell Adrian in advance, if 'Die' is going to hire you to work for her, you will rush to agree!"
Zhong Yan remained unmoved, and said calmly: "This is an event with a very small probability of happening, and I don't see any need to speak out."
Fein had to admit that the probability was really small. There are only a very small number of positions in this world that are closely related to "butterflies", and among these few positions, the Supreme Council is at the top of the pyramid, and there are no more than fifty full-fledged members in it, and no more than a hundred assistants and backup members. ten people. In today's age when the average human age has exceeded a hundred years old, a person's working life has also been lengthened. It is normal for people to be advised to retire by "Butterfly" at the age of seventy or eighty. There is no vacancy in the Supreme Council position. There are also newcomers. Even if there are new recruits, most of them are promoted from other branches directly below. When a student graduates, he is judged by the "butterfly" to directly enter the Supreme Council. Even if it is the highest institution where top talents gather, it is indeed rare in ten years. A rare case.
On the eve of graduation, it was not that Zhong Yan did not think about it. On the contrary, in the last six months of his busy life, he was thinking about it almost every night when he closed his eyes. He knew that based on his own experience, the position cannot be low, and the high probability is of course those jobs that do not have a natural standpoint. If that is the case, Adrian is not the kind of extreme person who insists on forcing everyone He may be a little disappointed that his friends did not fully support his ideals, but he can apologize afterwards and remedy it immediately, so the problem should not be big.
And if unfortunately, the dart hits the sector with the smallest area on the turntable...
Fein said: "This small probability event just happened. The current result is all caused by you. If you had been vaccinated in advance, things would not be as bad as they are now. The most he can do is alienate you."
"You call that 'not so bad'?"
No, this ending sucks in his heart, Adrian no longer pays attention to him, it is a hundred times worse than now. Yesterday, when he just met Adrian, the other party ignored him and passed him by. That was the time he was most afraid of in so many years. He contacted Adrian crazily than before, and found that all his communication methods were blocked. He was even afraid after being blocked—he was afraid that after seven years, Adrian would have let go of his hatred and decided to let go of his hatred. Fortunately, he later found out that it was just an act of indifference, and Adrian still hated him, gnashing his teeth.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Yan was almost thankful for the way he handled it back then, at least—
"Now, at least he hates me." He said softly.
Now that the dart hits the bull's-eye and there is no possibility of reconciliation, then hate it. Adrian was the first and only person in his life who really cared about him. If he can't be a friend, even if he is an enemy, no matter what, he must never lose this concern.
Zhong Yan contacted his people to open the door, and Finn drove the car directly into the parking lot inside his spaceship, where a young man was already waiting.
Although he was wearing a suit, he looked like a student attending a defense meeting, with short fluffy brown hair, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a gentle bookish look on his face.
The moment Finn saw his face clearly, the hand manipulating the control screen slipped and almost hit another car.
He felt that Zhong Yan looked away from his terminal virtual screen and looked at him.
"What the hell kind of design is this parking lot of yours?" Finn cursed, "That reflector looks rearward! I mean - the rearview mirror reflects light!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the parking lot, his gaze stayed on the only person besides them—his accompanying assistant—for two seconds, and asked, "Why are you nervous?"
"We almost ran into the car next to us just now, didn't you see it? I said, can you be more calm? If you have an accident in my car, the news headline will be 'Senior Military Officer of the Na'vi Military Region Murders a Member of Parliament' in ten minutes. I Can you not be nervous?"
Seeing that the car had stopped steadily, the young assistant came over to open the door for Zhong Yan, nodded to Fein, and said in a formulaic way: "Adjutant Xister, thank you for making a trip in person, and please convey the message to Commander Yate on your behalf." Thank you, thank you for his enthusiastic help when he happened to meet the congressman last night."
Finn chuckled, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay... I'm just wondering, don't you feel tired every time you people in the House say this?" He met the young assistant's gaze After two seconds, the two moved away calmly. Finn turned to Zhong Yan and asked, "I said Zhong Yan, is this the son of one of your staff members? Is he an adult?"
The formulaic smile on the young man's face couldn't hold on any longer. Before Zhong Yan could speak, he said with some annoyance: "I'm already twenty-four years old, and I've been an adult for four years, Adjutant Cister."
He seemed to have something to say, Zhong Yan said flatly, "Intelun."
Intron bowed his head respectfully and shut up.
Zhong Yan said perfunctorily to Finn, "Goodbye."
"No. I hope we don't see each other again." Finn said angrily, activated the car's control panel and left.
"Why is it you?" Zhong Yan asked casually on the way back to the office area, "Where's Bayer?"
This trip, because it was hosted by the highest institution, was of a special nature. Many of the invited guests brought their alumni who were also from the highest institution. School people also have the opportunity to participate in this feast. Zhong Yan was no exception, he brought along two of his direct subordinates, Bayer and Tren Yin, who came from the highest schools.
Bayer was originally Zhong Yan's first assistant, and Trenyin was more fortunate. In fact, he just entered the Supreme Council by chance last year, and he worked under the standing members as soon as he came in, even though he was working under the latest standing members. The most fringe job, but who doesn't climb like that? This starting point is high enough to make all his peers stand behind.
"Senior Bayer is a little unwell." Trenyin said respectfully, "It seems that he has a stomach problem, so I came to pick you up, and... the Capital Star received a message in the morning, and he asked me to report the situation to you on his behalf."
Zhong Yan pulled out the chair at the desk and sat down, turned on the virtual screen on the desk for processing work, and said, "Understood, after a while you ask the accompanying doctor to show him and let him rest more. Let's start."
Tren Yin said: "That's right, it's almost the end of the year—the whole year of this year, there is no, er, no news from the Na'vi Sector Council and the Na'vi Military Region Headquarters. It seems that the end of the year is almost here..."
This is a rather euphemistic statement. In fact, all the reports in the Na'vi star region last year were very perfunctory. Not to mention the obvious fabricated data in the monthly routine report, other star regions have as short as 50 pages and as long as 50 pages. Hundreds of pages of year-end report, it stands to reason that Navi is the only region not supervised by "Butterfly", the report should be more detailed, but they only sent eight pages - two of which are the table of contents, and one is the author list.
This year, the entire Na'vi District was completely silent. In the first half of the year, Capital Star sent out several questioning letters in a row, each of which was harsher than the last, and all of them fell into the sea. In the middle of this year, the Supreme Council sent a special commissioner to investigate the situation. As a result, the commissioner couldn't even enter the Na'vi star area, let alone the people who met the commander-in-chief or the branch chamber on the main star Na'vi star—even though Now everyone knows that the Na'vi star area is now managed by the Na'vi's military headquarters, and the so-called sub-house probably no longer exists.
After the special commissioner reported the situation, the Supreme Council was furious, and the motion to use military force to forcibly enter the Na'vi District was handed over to the round table of the members attending the meeting. It's a pity that it was the first anniversary of the "Malicious Misjudgment Incident of Artificial Intelligence Suspected", and the public opinion turmoil in the virtual community was aroused again. Those who do it are always in the wrong, not to mention that the Na'vi District is now in the limelight among the people, and the popularity of artificial intelligence and the Supreme Council has been declining year by year. Once they match, it will inevitably cause a strong rebound from the entire alliance. Besides, how much armed force is appropriate to use? How far has the Na'vi military region developed? Now that distant star region is like an iron bucket, people and news can only come in and out, and no one knows what is going on inside.
Things have dragged on until today.
"There must be a solution to this matter within this year." Zhong Yan said.
He put his hands and fingers on the table, his face was calm, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Notify the cockpit, and leave immediately for the return journey. Reply to Capital Star's news, and say that I propose to restart the 'butterfly' entering Na'vi plan that was stranded seven years ago. I strongly recommend that this year end Before, we had to break the deadlock and enter the Na'vi star area. I will discuss the details at the round table meeting when I go back. Post it."
Tren was almost startled, "This... sir, is this okay? About the Na'vi sector, you, don't you avoid suspicion?"
Zhong Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and asked back: "Avoid suspicion? Is it because the commander-in-chief of the Na'vi military region is at odds with me, and they are afraid that I will avenge them personally, or is he now my best marriage partner, afraid that I will use power for personal gain?"
Trenyin was a little embarrassed, hesitatingly said: "I heard some rumors from my colleagues over there, I'm afraid it's... the latter is more. After all, with your status, it's not easy to refuse, the parliament..."
"Thinking too much." Zhong Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Navi's man hates me to death. He will definitely pay five times the liquidated damages and is unwilling to be tied to me. This marriage can't be done, there is no doubt about it." , send it as I said just now."
Almost as soon as Finn got out of the visual range of the ship's on-board monitoring, he couldn't wait to dial Adrian's communication.
It was cut off over there, and Finn kept calling repeatedly without stopping for a second while driving, and was finally picked up for the third time.
Adrian's voice came over: "You better have something important to say. I'm talking to the liaison officer..."
"Forget about the liaison officer! My business is definitely bigger than his!" Finn shouted quickly, "Do you know who I saw on Zhong Yan's private spaceship just now? Connector, that 'specimen' person!"
