The person who walked through the door was a middle-aged and elderly man with a majestic appearance. His hair on his temples had some white hair, but his energy was very strong. There were two bodyguards in suits who came forward to take the windbreaker he took off.
Ding Meng and Ji Chenxue had vicious eyes, and they could tell at a glance that this middle-aged man was definitely not an ordinary person, and his status was definitely very prominent, because everyone in the audience stood up on their own initiative.
"Uncle, you're finally here." Essendel walked over quickly.
Ji Chenxue secretly said: "It's Xia Ming."
Ding Meng nodded. Of course he had scanned the information from the database. Xia Ming is the chief executive of the General Services Administration of the Shenghui federal government. This position may not seem as impressive as those of the generals, but it is actually an extremely powerful department.
is responsible for the President, Vice President and
The manager of the staff organization can even exercise power on behalf of the president in many cases. The most important thing is that he has stayed in this position for three consecutive terms as president. Unexpectedly, Xia Ming is actually a member of the colorful family, and may be the most powerful person in the sect.
A powerful political figure.
As expected, Owens became less sinister after Xia Ming entered the room.
Xia Ming glanced around the audience, and his eyes fell on Ji Chenxue: "Long time no see, Mr. Ji!"
Ji Chenxue smiled: "Mr. Xia, I am no longer the president of Beidou."
As a high-level politician in the federation, he should be aware of this kind of information. Xia Ming showed a smile: "Mr. Ji, when you come to our federation, you are a guest, and when you come to our colorful family, you are an honored guest. It was like this eight years ago, and today
The same is true."
It was the time Ji Chenxue visited the Shenghui Federation eight years ago. The person who received her was the Vice President of the Federation, and Xia Ming was among them, so she was deeply impressed by these people.
After Xia Ming and Ji Chenxue exchanged a few pleasantries, they turned their attention to Ding Meng, and their eyes seemed meaningful: "Are you that Ding Meng?"
Owens immediately shouted: "Uncle, he is the wanted criminal Din Meng."
Xia Ming glanced at Owens, his eyes a little cold, and Owens immediately didn't dare to make any noise.
"Please take a seat. We are guests here, so please be casual." Xia Ming's attitude was obviously very gentle.
Everyone in the hall was surprised at this moment. Xia Ming was not harsh in his treatment of others, but he rarely had a gentle attitude. I wonder which family this Ding Meng is from?
In fact, these relatives of Eisendale didn't know that Ding Meng was normal, because according to the information they came into contact with, Ding Meng was once a security secretary of the Shenghao Group branch. To put it mildly, he was a security guard. I don't know why he left.
The lucky guy hooked up with the fourth lady, does he want to be his son-in-law?
But Xia Ming was in a high position and knew more about Ding Meng's deeds.
If nothing else, it was enough to move people that Din Meng piloted the Expedition starship into the wormhole more than ten years ago. If Din Meng hadn't sacrificed himself with his fearless spirit, I don't know how many innocent citizens would have been swallowed up by water droplets.
.
As for Ding Meng's disputes with several large financial groups, that is not within the scope of his responsibilities, and it is not appropriate for him to discuss these matters in his capacity.
After the atmosphere in the hall returned to normal, Ding Meng and the other two set up an invisible mental model to facilitate private communication.
This time it was Eisendale who asked first: "Miss Ji, did you know my uncle before?"
Ji Chenxue smiled and said: "Well, after I was received by the Vice President, I was received by Chief Xia and basically accompanied me throughout the whole process."
Ding Meng also became interested: "Then where did you go?"
Ji Chenxue said: "The trip lasted seven days in total. It started at the Federation General Affairs Building, then went to the Frost Building at the headquarters of Xinghong Group, Mengxing City at the headquarters of Shenghao Group, Fairy Mountain, a scenic spot in the north, and finally Xiaolin Technology
The research institute is just a quick tour, there is nothing unusual at all."
Ding Meng said: "What about the people I met? Is there anyone special?"
Ji Chenxue said: "No, because that time I came on behalf of the head of state Wenyang. Wenyang has always advocated maintaining peaceful relations with the Federation. When I came to the Federation, I had preliminary contacts with the heads of these large groups. If I say
I haven't seen any strange people or strangers."
Eisendale asked: "Could the problem come from Shenghao Xinghong's headquarters?"
Ji Chenxue smiled and said: "Probably not, because I only went to the private offices of Yu Tianlin and Ling Zhixing."
Ding Meng pondered and said: "Where is the Xiaolin Institute of Science and Technology?"
Eisendale quickly explained: "This research institute is very famous. It is the research institute of Master Lin Kejia."
Ji Chenxue smiled and said: "It's a pity that I didn't see Master Lin himself that time. I only visited the institute symbolically. I didn't even go in. I just wandered around in the yard outside for a while."
Ding Meng suddenly said: "Is there any way to meet this federal celebrity?"
Eisendale and Ji Chenxue looked at each other. Could it be that Ding Meng was suspicious of Lin Kejia's research institute?
This time it was Eisendale's turn to smile bitterly: "Ding Meng, you may not know that meeting Lin Kejia is more difficult than meeting the president."
Ding Meng was a little confused: "Why?"
Eisendale sighed: "This is a national treasure of our Holy Federation and a grand master. Not only is she famous, but she has also devoted her life to the field of scientific research. Even if the president wants to make an appointment, she has to see her.
Does she have any free time?"
Ding Meng doubted: "Is it more powerful than the Grassroots Empire?"
Eisendale smiled bitterly and said: "These are not people in the same field at all, right? Grassroots Empire is a top hacker, and Lin Kejia is a real master. Their respective achievements are completely incomparable."
Ding Meng drooped his eyelids and stopped talking. His identification with the grassroots empire is definitely much higher than that of Lin Kejia. The reason is very simple. People can predict what will happen many years after his death, and the most important thing is that no matter she is
Her enemies and friends all respected her and spoke highly of her.
You Lin Kejia can be considered a great person of the generation, but do you think the Congress and the military of the Nuoxing Empire will respect you? I guess the person I hate the most is Lin Kejia, because the empire has made great progress in space technology and starship technology over the years.
As well as various black technology fields, they all rely on federal exports, especially the Kejia server. The version is upgraded very quickly, almost once a year. Every time, the empire has to spend astronomical amounts of resources and star coins to import, which makes it very difficult.
The financial situation is miserable.
The reason why the Nox Empire is so keen on fighting against the Frogmen is because war can divert a large amount of financial pressure. Every time the military occupies an energy planet, the empire's finances can take a breath of relief.
While everyone was chatting, Ding Meng suddenly felt a very slight energy fluctuation on the second floor. The aura was very weak, but after careful analysis, Ding Meng showed a rare dignified and surprised look.
He even took the initiative to get up and turn to the escalator.
At this time, someone was already saying: "The old man is here, the old man is down..."
In Ding Meng's imagination, Xia Zhiyuan, the sect leader of the Colorful Family, should have a majestic appearance, a vicissitudes of face, and the appearance of everyone, but now it seems that his guess is completely wrong.
This is a short old man with a lean body. He is neither majestic nor experienced. He is about the same height as Ding Meng. His face is very thin and his chin seems to have been sharpened. It can be said that he has a hairy face.
The thunderous mouth is like that of a monkey.
His clothes are not luxurious, just a very ordinary cloth robe, with rough handmade rubber shoes on his feet, and he is eating happily with a colorful ice cream in his hand. If his skin had not withered, turned yellow, and turned black due to aging,
Ding Meng couldn't believe that this was Xia Zhiyuan from the Colorful Family. He was just a young man with inexhaustible energy.
Xia Zhiyuan only had one pair of young eyes. His gaze was cunning but very bright. When he saw everyone in the hall, he waved carelessly: "They are all here."
Everyone stood up to say hello, and Essendel had already run over: "Grandpa, I'm back!"
"Haha!" Xia Zhiyuan laughed like a duck, "My dear granddaughter, did you get any treasures for grandpa this time?"
His preference for Essendel is obvious. His smiling expression shows that he is like a kind elder, and his whole attention is on Essendel.
The grandfather and grandson didn't regard the other people in the hall as human beings at all, as if they were nothing. They muttered quietly on the escalator, Xia Zhiyuan kept nodding, his expression was both satisfied and happy.
Xia Ming couldn't stand it anymore and coughed twice: "Old man, Ding Meng and Mr. Ji are here!"
The person who was ignored this time was Ji Chenxue. Xia Zhiyuan then raised his head and revealed a pair of shining eyes: "Ha, he is indeed a good boy. My granddaughter has great eyesight."
Others looked at each other, and Owens was even more puzzled. Ding Meng was a bit powerful, but his identity was not good enough, and he offended Sheng Hao Xinghong to death.
Ding Meng also smiled: "Hello, old man!"
Xia Zhiyuan looked at Ding Meng as if he had found a treasure: "Hahaha, Ding Meng, what a good boy, Qianfanxing did a great job in that battle."
Ding Meng was surprised and said: "The old man also knows?"
Eisendale said sweetly: "Ding Meng, although grandpa doesn't go out much, he knows more about things outside than I do."
Xia Zhiyuan has slowly walked over, with a look of pride on his face: "Xie Feili, Su Mingling, these people are all second- and third-rate characters. They usually regard themselves as strong men in the Federation. Haha, the name of a strong man is
Who will get them in the first round? They are not even worthy of the title of master."
If this were said by another person, others might think that he is mentally ill, but Ding Meng would not think so, because in his perception, Xia Zhiyuan's strength is simply unfathomable. This person is comparable to Hidden Edge 2
In some respects, the ugly girl could even be said to be worse than her. It was really hard for him to imagine that there was such a top-notch existence among the human race energy users.
Moreover, Xia Zhiyuan has already stretched out his skinny palm: "Ding Meng, you are welcome to come to my bad old man's house to play."
