Under Zhong Yan's instruction, the inauguration ceremony was kept simple. It was said to be the inauguration ceremony of the new president, but it was more like a press conference, except that instead of journalists and media, the entire hall was filled with congressmen.
Just as the congressmen were seated one after another, ten minutes before the start of the press conference, the protagonist of the ceremony was mad at his partner's dress in the background.
"How can it be hung outside! It looks too strange! This is broadcast live to the whole world, take it down quickly!"
Adrian's military uniform is at Xuefuxing. Today he is wearing a black formal suit that Zhong Yan bought for him in advance. Adrian never likes to pay attention to such frivolities. He wears casual clothes all the year round, and rarely even wears military uniforms. In his impression of Zhong Yan, whom he had known for ten years, he had never seen him dressed in a suit and leather shoes.
The crisp fabric covered his smooth and muscular body, and he looked like—in fact, he was—a handsome nobleman. Zhong Yan matched him with a silver tie, which made his silver eyes even more dazzling.
Everything was perfect at first, until Adrian suddenly took out a white ball and hung it around his waist five seconds ago.
It is a rabbit-tail-shaped lucky felt pendant made by Zhong Yan from interstellar giant rabbit fur.
"What's wrong with the live broadcast?" Adrian said nonchalantly, "What's so strange, it's not very good-looking."
Yes, you still think our ring looks good. Zhong Yan didn't say these words, looking at Adrian's serious black suit with a snow-white ball hanging on it, he felt ashamed no matter how he looked at it. This ball is his first felt work, and it is called a rabbit tail. In fact, it was because he was in a hurry to start and had no time. It was the easiest to make a ball. He also knew that this felt pendant could be done well in terms of shape and technique. It's really unsatisfactory. If Adrian wears it out like this, it will be a public execution of him.
"This is a formal occasion, don't make trouble..."
Zhong Yan tried hard to persuade Adrian, but Adrian refused to take it down. Farrar walked in from the front desk, walked towards them and said, "Gentlemen, it's about to start, are you ready... Uh, Adrian , what are you wearing?"
He was referring to the white ball hanging from Adrian's waist. Zhong Yan finally seized the opportunity and immediately tried to draw Farrer to his side, complaining: "He insists on wearing this to go out!"
"It's the lucky pendant that Xiaoyan made for me!" Adrian said at the same time as him.
"Oh, is this the pendant those students talked about?" Farrar said to Zhong Yan kindly, "It's pretty well done."
Zhong Yan was stunned on the spot: "What student?"
Farrar said: "Students from the highest institution. You have been too busy recently to pay attention to the hot news. I also heard from the young people in my team. The students from the highest institution said in the virtual community a few days ago that Art The commander wears a white ball every day, which is a lucky pendant made for him by Mr. Zhong Yan, but no one uploaded the video, so it looks like this."
Everyday... wear...
Zhong Yan was so shocked that he became numb, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was more embarrassing for Adrian to hang a snow-white furry ball all day long, or it was more embarrassing for his not-so-successful first felt work to be shown to the public. He felt that he might be hopelessly in love, and besides being ashamed, he even felt a little sweet.
While they were talking, another staff member ran in from the front desk and said to Zhong Yan: "Mr. Zhong, everything is ready, do you think we can start?"
"Let's start." Zhong Yan said. The first session was his inaugural speech. He adjusted his clothes at last, exchanged a hasty kiss on the cheek with Adrian, and followed the staff onto the stage.
"I'm still worried that he's too young to hold back." Adrian watched his back disappear into the aisle, and chatted with Farrar, "I didn't expect these people to be afraid of him, they are very respectful."
Farrar shook his head with a smile and said, "You really think too much, what happened yesterday, who would dare to bully him when he is young?"
"What happened yesterday?" Adrian asked suspiciously, "What happened yesterday?"
"It was when I proposed the position for you yesterday... You didn't know? Didn't he tell you?"
"Oh... Maybe he was going to say it. He was too tired and half asleep when he said it. You said the same thing to me now." As Adrian said, he couldn't help but recall Zhong Yan's soft and harmless sleeping face yesterday, and he was a good boy. Lying in his arms, it's really...
"Right now, everyone in the House is calling him a 'tyrant' behind his back." Faller sighed. "A tyrant should be a tyrant. It's better than being indecisive. The situation is too bad. The Federation really needs a tough leader."
Adrian couldn't associate words like "tough" and "tyrant" with Zhong Yan last night, and asked in surprise, "What?"
"Didn't I propose a new position for you yesterday?"
"Commander of the 53rd Military Region, I know." Adrian said, "I discussed with him a long time ago, the military power must be divided, and it cannot be in the hands of the House of Representatives."
Farrar said: "So it was agreed by you. Later, during the break of the meeting, someone told Zhong Yan privately that he understood his painstaking efforts to temporarily give you military power in order to appease you, and said that he was willing to share the president's worries and help him get rid of Your grip helps the president take back military power and... and personal freedom."
Adrian was stunned for a moment before he realized what personal freedom is. He was so angry that he was about to swear, but Farrar continued: "It was originally whispered during the break of the meeting. Sen's party was probably eager to show favor to the new president so that he could become the president's confidant. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yan recounted it to the whole table on the spot, saying that his intentions were not right. That congressman. After he announced his expulsion, a congressman continued to protest. Zhong Yan said, "Go home with him if you don't accept it." Before the meeting was over, those two people packed their things and were invited out of the parliament building by the security guards. There was a lot of movement, and the whole building knew about it after a while."
"Adrian, as I said just now, it is right to show toughness now, but although he didn't show it, I can feel that the reason why he fired the two high councilors on the spot was not what he said, but Because the other party is belittling and calculating you." Farrar looked at Adrian, "As your uncle, I am very relieved, and as the vice president, I am very worried. If someone else becomes the commander of the 53rd Military Region, yesterday, Does the president really have one more confidant?"
"Uncle Farrer, I can understand your worry, but so far, your worry is unnecessary."
"why?"
"Looking at the Federation, as long as I'm still alive, the president of the 53rd Military Region will only be me." Adrian said, "And I will be optimistic about the president."
Zhong Yan was worried that the white ball hanging around Adrian's waist would look nondescript, but in fact, this worry was superfluous. After learning of the existential crisis, almost no one paid attention to why the newly appointed commander of the 53rd Military Region had a snow-white ball hanging around his waist, but swarmed into the Supreme Council and the new president's homepage to inquire about the current situation.
Zhong Yan has already issued an order to destroy the ninth floor of the House of Representatives. His decisive actions have won a lot of support from the people. Faller's prediction is correct. When a crisis is imminent, people are more willing to have a tough leader.
It was less than four days before "Butterfly" woke up from hibernation. The technical department and the research institute were working overtime, but they lacked the necessary information. They had no idea where "Butterfly"'s brain was or where the "cocoon" was. Clue, things seem to be at an impasse.
Adrian was told outside Zhong Yan's office that the president was not in the office.
The newly-appointed presidential secretary, Intren, hurried out of the room when he heard the notification, and asked, "Mr. Art, why are you here?"
Adrian had just received the highest military post in the morning, commanding fifty-three military regions, and now he should be confirming the situation of each military region, which is the busy time for new officials to take office.
"Where is Mr. President? He didn't reply to my message. I have something to ask him."
At this time, it was probably an urgent matter, Intelun hurriedly said: "Mr. President is at the headquarters of the police station. There should be a signal jammer. As soon as he comes out, I will contact him for you."
Adrian frowned slightly. The police headquarters didn't have a signal jammer, and the only one whose signal was blocked was the detention center next to the police headquarters.
"He went to see Payson? Why don't you tell me... Forget it, I'll go and wait for him."
At this time, Zhong Yan was meeting Pei Sen in the Capital Star Detention Center.
"The others are really trash, and you, a child, took the position of president." Person sat on the chair with restricted hands and feet, and said viciously. He was imprisoned for a few days, but he didn't suffer physically, so he seemed to be in a good state besides being mentally weak. He had just been told by Zhong Yan about several important events in the past few days, and he sneered: "So now you Did you ask me to come here? Want to ask me if I know the secret of 'Butterfly'? You're not stupid, but I really know a little bit, as long as you agree..."
"What are you thinking?" Zhong Yan interrupted unceremoniously, "Of course not, I just have no progress in my work and feel irritable, so I came here to humiliate you to relieve stress."
Pei Sen was so angry that his face was distorted by the blunt words, "You! Don't you want to know where the brain of 'Butterfly' is?"
"Say it as if you know it. But if you know anything about its self-preservation methods, you won't go against it, and you actually confirmed that neither Mr. Arter nor I can threaten you. You don't need 'die' anymore." ' After taking the asylum, you seized the opportunity and turned back without hesitation, which shows that you don't know anything about it."
The hatred in Pei Sen's eyes was almost overflowing, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard for you to calculate me! If I knew this, when 'Die' told me that the boy from the Art family left Xuefuxing alone, I should have Find someone to kill him at all costs!"
Zhong Yan was greatly moved, "Die" knew that Adrian had left Xuefuxing
He came to test Peisen, who had the closest personal relationship with "Butterfly" before, and he did not expect to hear useful information—Peisen didn't know about it, but Zhong Yan knew very well that when Adrian left Xuefuxing, the entire academy was in danger. The monitoring system of the star has been completely removed.
Without the monitoring system, why can "Butterfly" still be able to grasp the situation of Xuefuxing
