The senior executive who supported Director Linyao seemed to have been well prepared and stated all his points in one breath, looking like he was sure of victory.
The other senior executives sitting nearby and listening quietly had different expressions. The senior executive's speech just now did have a considerable impact on their original judgment.
Moreover, Mayor Qianyu, who also supported Director Linyao, also had ulterior motives and deliberately paused for three minutes, leaving the senior officials to think carefully.
Under the guidance of Mayor Qianyu, the ASEAN municipal government meeting was carried out in an orderly manner.
Three minutes later, Qianyu continued to organize the meeting and said: "Next, it is the turn of the party that opposes Director Linyao's borrowing of troops to speak. Who wants to be the representative?"
The senior executives in the venue looked at me and I looked at you, and they seemed to be unwilling to be the one who stood out.
Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems there is no representative..."
"etc."
Directly opposite Qianyu's position, an older senior executive suddenly stood up: "Since there is no one here, let me explain."
"As a senior executive of the ASEAN City Government, I believe that troops should not be loaned to the ASEAN City Police Department. This is something that has never been done before. Those troops are the private property of the ASEAN City Government. If they are arbitrarily leased to ASEAN City,
The Municipal Police Department will be seen as abusing its power, breaking past rules, and reducing the prestige of the ASEAN Municipal Government. As for those threatening arguments coming from outside ASEAN City, it is nothing more than an uncertain inference. If it happens
It’s really true, if there is really an invasion from the outside world, then the ASEAN City Government will naturally let the federal army and the ASEAN City Police Department participate in the defense construction of ASEAN City.”
"The above is my personal opinion. I believe that the responsibility of the ASEAN city government is to ensure political stability, rather than allowing the radicals of the ASEAN City police to create fear."
But some senior officials were dissatisfied with the elder's speech and said, "That's nonsense. Are you a traitor from outside ASEAN City who wants to deliberately hinder the construction of ASEAN City's defense system?"
The elderly senior executive blushed with anxiety and struggled to defend himself: "I have no intention of engaging in such bad behavior, so don't slander me. We are all senior leaders of ASEAN municipal governments and we all have the right to express our opinions.
"
Qianyu coughed and said sternly: "Okay, okay, as the guardians of ASEAN City, you all should stop arguing."
"It seems that the different views of the two parties have been explained. I believe that you have more or less made your own decision in your heart. Next, we will conduct a secret vote and follow the principle of the minority obeying the majority. Choose the majority.
Regardless of the decision of one party, the minority party also please help and assist us. We are all leaders of ASEAN City, so there must be no complaints."
Then, Qianyu took out multiple electronic voting forms, set the corresponding rules, and handed them to each senior person present at the meeting.
With a vote like this put on the table, the final result of the negotiation is even more difficult for others to refute. It is because Qianyu is aware of this that he intends to use this method to force the senior executives to handle it independently and solve the problems of the senior executives of ASEAN City.
Disagreement.
After the voting ended, the facial expressions of the senior officials were still tense, and no one knew what choice they would make next.
After ten long minutes, the most critical voting result of this meeting came out.
Among the total fifteen votes, there were eight votes in favor, three votes against, and four abstentions.
Qianyu
After showing the vote, he said seriously: "Then it's confirmed. This high-level meeting passed the decision to support Director Linyao's decision to borrow troops. Next, we will draft documents and strive to pass the troop loan agreement as quickly as possible...
…”
Those senior officials who opposed the lending of military power to Director Linyao unexpectedly chose to remain silent this time and did not complain about the obstruction.
After that, there are fixed processes that are not very important.
What Director Linyao has always wanted to achieve has finally come true.
The meeting ended and Qianyu was the last person to leave the conference room.
She closed the door of the conference room and murmured: "Great. Director Linyao, I can finally help you."
…
Compared with the tight mercenary life before, Xiang Yu's usual life at the Lingyinghui headquarters can be considered relatively leisurely.
However, Xiang Yu and Ling Si's identities are different. He can appear openly on the streets of ASEAN City. Therefore, most of the tasks assigned to him by Mo Tong are carried out in the inner city of ASEAN City.
When he was still a freelance mercenary, Xiang Yu also lived in ASEAN City for a while. He had a relatively good understanding of the entire ASEAN City area, which made it much easier to do various tasks.
Today happens to be Sunday, and it also happens to be Xiang Yu's free day off. Xiang Yu, who has no tasks, has plenty of time to go shopping in the central ASEAN area. He doesn't want to become a workaholic who is obsessed with tasks. He doesn't want to go out for a walk occasionally.
It's a good decision.
ASEAN city center area, Sunday morning at 10 am.
Xiang Yu followed the huge crowd in the city center and entered the busiest street in ASEAN City.
"No way, there are too many people here."
Xiang Yu was pushed forward by the crowd and felt very uncomfortable physically: "If I had known there were so many people in the city center, I should have let Miss Lingsi go out for a walk instead of getting bored at the Lingyinghui headquarters."
After finally taking a day off, there happened to be a crowd on the way to go shopping. It was really torturous. Xiang Yu thought to himself.
While slowly moving forward with the crowd, Xiang Yu glanced at the store that looked like it had just opened.
A shopping guide in strange clothes walked around the crowd and walked right in front of Xiang Yu.
"Sir, would you like to come and take a look at our newly opened electronic machinery store? We have all kinds of creations newly developed by mechanics here. We may also have electrical appliances and other things that are not usually found in shopping malls.
Oh." The shopping guide was very enthusiastic. He was probably a natural shopping guide and had a magical power that people could not refuse.
Compared to Lingsi, Xiang Yu didn't have much interest or curiosity in electronic machinery. In his past impression, electronic machinery was just a convenient tool to enhance efficiency.
However, times are constantly developing, Xiang Yu is getting old, and his views are also outdated.
Unexpectedly, high-tech technology, which is usually regarded as a secret, has reached the point where it can be put into public physical stores for experience and sale.
"Oh, it seems that times have really changed." Xiang Yu sighed as he walked along.
The type of stores that existed when Xiang Yu was young are now basically eliminated and disappeared. What remains are basically experience-based sales integrated stores with trendy elements.
Citizens enjoy a good life and only need to spend a relatively small amount of time to get a comprehensive experience.
Xiangyu, who originally didn't have much expectations for shopping because of the crowds, gradually developed a different interest in various novel storefronts.
Xiang Yu thought to himself that although he had spent all his money, it would be a good experience to just watch it from a distance without buying it.
Xiang Yu, who became interested in stores in the city center, enjoyed a unique leisure time.
"Eh? Are you Mr. Xiang Yu?"
Xiang Yu was suddenly stopped by a man behind him.
"Who are you……"
"You actually forgot about me so quickly. You are worthy of being a representative of the Spirit Shadow Society." The man who spoke first said angrily.
Xiang Yu suddenly understood and said, "Oh, I remembered, you are Mr. Huiyue."
Based on the more obvious hints, Xiang Yu finally remembered who the man in front of him was.
——In the last business negotiation meeting, the representative sitting next to Xiang Yu was Hui Yue, the director of the Spirit Branch of the Creation Agency.
Huiyue said kindly: "Well, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet the representative of the Spirit Shadow Society, Mr. Xiang Yu, here."
Xiang Yu didn't want to tie his name to the representative of Lingying Society, so he quickly said: "Mr. Huiyue, just call me Mr. Xiang Yu. That representative is only a temporary title, and I can't afford it."
Huiyue walked to Xiang Yu in a friendly manner and said, "Well, Mr. Xiang Yu. After the failure of the last meeting, didn't we both escape smoothly? I also heard that there were some casualties in the last meeting.
, we were really lucky to have escaped smoothly. And we did meet each other next time, so it seems that our fate is also very good."
Xiang Yu felt that Huiyue was a bit difficult to handle, so he had to say: "It's indeed a good fate. What's the matter with Mr. Huiyue coming to the central area of ASEAN? If there is something urgent, you don't have to worry about me hanging around."
"It turns out that Mr. Xiang Yu is on vacation, which is really disturbing." Huiyue smiled, "Actually, I don't have anything urgent to do. I just spent a long time doing research in the laboratory and wanted to go out and relax."
Xiangyu said naturally: "Oh, by the way, the citizens in the central area of ASEAN City are really crowded on Sundays."
Xiang Yu could never talk to Hui Yue, the head of the branch, about confidential content, so Xiang Yu wanted to change the topic to a lighter topic.
Huiyue suddenly became interested: "This is also one of the manifestations of the prosperity of ASEAN City. As a famous city in the eastern part of the Federation, it is normal for ASEAN City to develop rapidly. Our Spirit of Creation Branch also contributes to the development of ASEAN City.
He has made a great contribution. By the way, Mr. Xiang Yu, the Spirit of Creation Agency branch is nearby. Since we are destined to meet each other, would you like to come with me to visit it?"
"...Forget it. I'm not very interested in mechanical creations and the like."
As a member of the Spirit Shadow Society, Xiang Yu does not want to have a close relationship with Hui Yue, who is the head of the Spirit Branch of the Creation Agency.
"Well, I won't force Mr. Xiang Yu. Then Mr. Xiang Yu, just continue shopping. I'll go back to the branch first." Hui Yue was about to part ways with Xiang Yu, and said reluctantly, "By the way, if Xiang Yu
Sir, if you don’t want to stay in the Spirit Shadow Society any longer, the door of the Spirit Branch of the Creation Machine can be opened at any time for Mr. Xiang Yu, a former mercenary."
Before leaving, Huiyue said something meaningful to Xiang Yu.
