Capital Star, Supreme House.
Zhong Yan walked into the office area and found that someone had arrived earlier than him today.
Interlon has arrived. On his desk, the office virtual screen was turned on, and it seemed that he was already processing work. Seeing Zhong Yan coming in, he stood up and bowed his head respectfully: "Mr. Zhong, good morning."
"Morning." Zhong Yan ordered, "When Bayer arrives, let him come to me directly."
"Yes, sir. But it's still early for work... I mean, if there's anything that doesn't matter, I can help you first."
Zhong Yan stopped opening his office door, turned around and looked at Intelun. His gaze was clearly calm, but Intelun's heart tightened for no reason, but before he could say anything else, Zhong Yan said: "That's fine too. Come in and help me sort out the minutes of my absent meeting."
Intron quickly responded and followed in.
The offices of the attending members are monitored with the highest authority. The highest authority means that only "Butterfly" can see it, and no human beings will be able to spy on the offices of the attending members.
Intelun stood aside and was waiting for Zhong Yan to turn on the virtual screen to transmit the meeting documents to him, and suddenly said: "Sir, yesterday, afterward, Mr. Bayer asked me that Commander-in-Chief Yate came to talk to you about liquidated damages. How's it going."
"Really." Zhong Yan didn't seem to care much and asked, "Then how did you answer?"
"I told him I didn't know the details."
"When I contacted the spaceship, although you picked it up, you also said later that you were temporarily replacing Bayer's job. I seem to have explained that the person who claimed to be Ai Nawei came to talk about the matter. Intel Lun, is Bayer an outsider?"
Success or failure is here. Intron bowed his head and said: "Mr. Bayer used to be the first assistant of Mr. Arter. After you took over as a non-voting member, you became your first assistant under the recommendation of Mr. Arter. Mr. Arter has always been close to you. Hou, Mr. Bayer is certainly not an outsider. It's just... If he knows that you are in poor health, he will definitely be worried. After all, Mr. Bayer is old, and I thought that since you have fully recovered, I decided not to alarm him. "
Zhong Yan didn't respond to his words, his face was calm, his emotions were hard to distinguish, and a message that the file transfer was successful popped up on the virtual screen, but he didn't ask Intelun to go out.
"You are very smart. Everyone likes smart people, and I am no exception." Zhong Yan didn't look at him, "But you are too anxious. Ever since you joined my team, you have been very anxious. You are so young, I don't care." Know what you're up to. On the ship... that's not a good idea, you know what I'm saying, I don't want to find out a second time."
A drop of cold sweat slid down the corner of Intron's forehead, "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, I'm not blaming you, it's just a warning." Zhong Yan interrupted him, "If you want to continue working hard in this place, you need to be more calm in handling things."
Intron suddenly raised his head and said, "You mean..."
"Come to my office to report every morning from tomorrow. You are right, Bayer is old after all, it is time for someone to share some work for him."
When Bayer arrived at Zhong Yan's private office area on time, he also brought a piece of news.
"Mr. Art wants to see me?" Zhong Yan asked, "Now? I'm at work."
"In the late afternoon, the meeting against Nawei will be held. Mr. Art hopes to meet with you before then." Bayer said in a tone of notification.
Everyone knows that this first assistant once served as the first assistant to the resigned member of Parliament, Stubben Arter for decades. He is not a few years younger than Stubben, and it can be said that he was Daben was single-handedly promoted, and those who are close can no longer be close to the direct line.
Later, Starben received the advice to retire, but he was still working, so he became the first assistant to the newly promoted member of the council, which almost confirmed the rumors about "the chief of the Yate family supported Zhong Yan to take the position".
Zhong Yan also respected this old assistant in words, he did not continue to say anything, but said: "Okay, I will finish the file in my hand, and I will come right away."
The house of the Art family is not too far from the Supreme Court. In the capital planet where every inch of land is expensive, this ancient and respected family occupies a staggeringly large land.
Zhong Yan walked in the corridor covered with expensive carpets. On both sides of this grand and spacious corridor, there are portraits of previous patriarchs, not virtual holographic projections, nor electronic floor plans, but real physical portraits, inlaid with luxurious carved gold photo frames, hanging on both sides to highlight the illustriousness of the family Honor.
This is what Adrian described to him as the "ghostly corridor full of dead people". At that time, neither of them thought that Zhong Yan would visit the "coffin house" that Adrian called so frequently many years later.
Without squinting, Zhong Yan followed the butler calmly. Every time he stepped into the Art family mansion, there was always one thought in his mind: This is where Adrian grew up. The carpet he was stepping on, Adrian must have stepped on countless times before the age of seventeen. The steps in front of the door are where Adrian said he fell; there was a scratch on the corner of the photo frame of the previous head of the house, which was when Adrian was seven years old and had a fight with his friends... Ann is so far away, yet so close.
Zhong Yan didn't know how much this thought influenced his decision, but accepting the olive branch thrown by the current patriarch of the Yate family was not a difficult decision for him. At that time, he had already climbed to the position of official senior member of the Supreme Council, but he was still young, with no brains and skills, and he seemed to have reached the peak in this place where seniority is important. And this family has strong financial resources and well-connected contacts. The only direct heir has gone to Nawei, and there is no hope of returning. patriarch.
"Please." The butler pushed open the door of the living room and bowed.
Zhong Yan also bowed slightly in return, and stepped in.
Starben took a sip of his tea before saying, "Sit."
Seeing his indifferent demeanor, Zhong Yan already knew it, he thanked him and sat down, waiting for the other party to ask questions.
"I heard that you proposed to restart the plan of 'Butterfly' stationing in the Na'vi sector." Staben put down his glass. He is eighty years old this year, but he is still in good spirits, and his face is quite intimidating.
Of course, there is no time for him to keep a straight face.
"Yes." Zhong Yan said.
"Huh!" Stubbs put down his glass, "Impulse! Have you read the parliamentary records in recent years? That impulsive idiot mentioned this matter seven years ago, and wrote the plan before doing the investigation! The matter was written up by the media. Yes, the final bill failed to pass after several months of discussion, and the House of Representatives was questioned and ridiculed by the public. Have you forgotten these things! Where is the Na’vi star area? A refuge for fugitives! If artificial intelligence is sent from the sky, it will cut off their way! There are all desperadoes, are you responsible for what happened?"
"Mr. Art, that happened many years ago. Now... I heard that it has been rectified, and it is quite different from before."
"It's different?!" Stubbs became even more angry, and slammed the ground with his crutches, "From full of murderers to full of anti-artificial intelligence? What's the difference between the two! The latter is more Damn it, the crime is even worse! Besides, you heard it, who did you listen to? No one can tell what happened to Nawei!"
"Actually, if we investigate... there are quite a few residents of the Na'vi star area in the virtual community posting photos and their own lives."
"That's all fake! Thanks to your being a member of parliament for so many years, can you believe the things uploaded in the virtual community where there is no artificial intelligence supervision?"
"You're right." Zhong Yan said respectfully, "This is exactly where our difficulty lies, because we can't grasp the real situation of the other party, so I came up with this idea. Under the guise of 'butterfly' entering the Na'vi star area .”
"Pretend?"
"Now over there... the military department over there controls the Na'vi star area. We need a strong enough reason to shock the opponent's high-level, and send our people into Na'vi. I think this is a reason that is enough to shock The reason of the other side's high-level."
Starben's expression softened a lot, and he said, "Tell me about your thoughts in detail."
Na'vi Military Region Headquarters, Intelligence Department.
"Anyone whose first or last name is Intron, twenty-four years old, there is indeed one in the Supreme Council. Intron Gens, here's the image."
The person in charge of the intelligence department turned the virtual screen to Fein and Adrian, and Fein only glanced at it and immediately said, "That's right, it's him."
"This Mr. Jins, when he was in the highest school, he ranked high in points and performed well, but there has been no clear data showing which side he leans towards. Most of the professors he is close to are neutral. At the graduation ceremony, He accepted 'Die''s suggestion and entered the Capital Star Quality Inspection Bureau, and a year later, he entered the capital's Xinglinxing sub-sector, where his performance was outstanding, and then the Supreme Council's... uh," the person in charge paused awkwardly, Glancing at the expressionless Adrian, he changed his words, "A new member of the Supreme Council has been promoted, this... He, he is relatively young. When forming the team, he selected several young people from the lower house to come up—I guess I'm afraid that the old man will be embarrassed to work under him, anyway, there is Jins in it. Generally speaking, he is a very lucky person."
"He had close professors at school." Adrian thought thoughtfully, "Is there a specific list?"
"Yes. I know, we have compared them. These seemingly neutral professors are all in the list we just got from Xuefuxing."
"I see, that's a good explanation!" Fein suddenly realized that he hit the palm of the other hand with his fist, "This person is likely to be a member of the 'specimen' branch of the school when he was in school—oh, do the math. The time seems to be before this organization grows, and it is also possible that he personally participated in the construction of the "specimen" school star branch, and he even contacted some professors, and they may have been sorting out the list. Entering the Supreme Council, I don't believe it is luck, there must be someone in a high position behind him to help him! Commander, let me say..." He leaned closer to Adrian and whispered, "He is the one who was personally selected into the Supreme Council Yes, this time is also the school celebration with that person, do you think it will be... "
"No." Adrian said decisively, "The people behind him helped him get close to Zhong Yan only because Zhong Yan was high enough and young. Those old men would not recruit such a young team. garish."
There is actually a "specimen" person in the Supreme Council, and it is still such a sensitive position. The head of the intelligence department stopped for a while, and quickly followed Adrian's words: "Then Congressman Zhong Yan..." He just got up When he was tall, he saw Finn shaking his head and waving his hands desperately behind Adrian in shock.
That's too late.
The person in charge hadn't realized what happened, the ceramic cup that was originally in Adrian's hand flew out against his ear, and smashed to pieces on the wall behind him with a "bang".
"Don't fucking mention his name in front of me! How many times have I said that?! Do you have any brains?!"
