Chapter 100: Taylor calls
While everyone was enjoying the wine and cigars, the room also reverberated with the sound of piano music, delicate, soft, and slow, as if you could hear a little longing.
Flower and the others looked at each other, they were already very familiar with this boss, but few knew that he still had the habit of listening to music.
As if guessing what they were thinking, Li Jie introduced succinctly.
"Stars in Baghdad."
The timing and background of this piano piece are all vague and mysterious, and the reason why it is played in the house is entirely because Li Kit is trying to relieve the stress and pain caused by soul shaping in various ways, and music, a wonderful art form created by humans, has naturally become one of his options.
After trying many options, this gentle and quiet music has become a new hobby, and the narration makes people feel like they are in a mysterious and infinite night sky, and the serene and melancholy look back seems to have some effect.
"How's the matter with the new proposal?"
However, Li Jie was not interested in talking to them about this, so he went straight to the point.
"Blott has reintroduced the readjusted bill to the House of Representatives and will soon enter a new stage of hearing." Tim? The rabbi replied at once, knowingly, that he was clearly in a good mood, and that the so-called adjustments to the bill were almost minimal, and that they were only symbolic, and yet the parliamentarians were still obliged to submit them. "This time we have won a lot more power, and many councillors have begun to change their minds, and I think there is a great hope of success!"
They all thought that the failure of the bill would be a major blow to the company, but what happened next was simply wonderful and dizzying. It can be called a peak loop. Even in the midst of it, they can barely keep up with the pace of change – superpowers, Wall Street events, violent crime, public anxiety, global sensations. Of course, there is also the best news that this superman boss personally came out and turned the tide.
The impact of this time can be called unprecedented, countless patients are already looking forward to the artificial genome becoming a reality, and the families of those victims and the continuous supercrime crimes in various places have also made more and more people demand the popularization of the genome project, and even because of the initiative pioneered by Li Jie, many people have taken him as an example and began to use the constitution to criticize the stubbornness and unreasonableness of Congress.
None of this is the decisive factor, but in any case. It is also enough to represent the attitude of the vast majority of ordinary people, even a large number of parliamentarians who originally disagreed. What's even more exciting is that there is a representative who is said to be on Wall Street that day, and unfortunately became the target of mob robbery, broke several ribs, and is still lying in the hospital without fully recovering.
Such an incident that happened to his colleagues was obviously very shocking to the parliamentarians.
Even the opposition groups that have been tirelessly protesting against the artificial genome are far fewer, and they are clearly a little frightened in the face of the growing number of superpowers and the chaos that is in the mix. A lot of people have given up on fighting the corona.
It can be said that compared to the previous situation of forcibly pushing bills and spending a lot of money on public relations, the situation is now many times better.
"A similar failure is enough. Now I don't want great hope, but foolproof. Li Jie took a big sip of whiskey, let the cold liquor stimulate his body, and his eyes swept over Flower and the others in front of him. When drinking whisky, some people like to add it on the rocks, and some people don't add it, and that's because the taste is different. And now I'm going to let them know that if you make the right choice, you don't have to think about taste anymore, and you'll always have an endless whisky. ”
David? Derre's eyes lit up, and he seemed to guess what Li Jie meant, and said excitedly:
"Boss, you mean you can reveal the rejuvenation plan to the councilors?"
"Let's take action, I'm going to get the bill through as quickly as possible, and at the same time - the part of the human body that strengthens the human body is not allowed to change in the slightest." Li Jie gave clear instructions, then stood up and walked towards the balcony. "Remember, only scarce resources can give the needers enough motivation to work hard for it, and tell these guys sitting on the high platform that whoever can play a bigger role in the passage of the bill will be the first beneficiaries of the rejuvenation program."
Flower and the others left with great ambition, they were full of calculations, after all, there were so many favorable factors in their hands, and the future was bright.
Similarly, Li Jie has never worried about the passage of the bill, he only cares about the speed of passage. After all, the sooner it is put on the table, the faster it will speed up assimilation among humans.
He knew very well in his heart that there would probably not be a minority of opponents like Anonymous, and the longer the time dragged on, the more obstructions he would receive, and there was no guarantee that someone would jump out directly against him.
In this case, efficiency is the most important thing.
After everyone left, Olivia, dressed in smooth satin pajamas, walked out of the room, affectionately hugged Li Jie from behind, kissed him lightly on the neck, and then looked down at Lust, who was walking through the garden of the villa and leaving with Flor, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes:
"Bruce, why hasn't this Miss Joyce been a member of your bedchamber?"
If it were someone else, you might think that Olivia was asking with jealousy or jealousy. But Li Jie knew that the other party would not. Among the female humans with whom he has an intimate relationship, if Lisa and Nastia belong to the type that acquiesces to the existence of other people, then Olivia is truly prostrate and kissing and serving with all her heart.
Even he was sure in his heart that as long as he expressed even the slightest interest, this witch was absolutely willing to take the initiative to create any conditions, just to make herself more satisfied.
This is the absolute loyalist, and in Olivia's heart now, Li Jie is everything to her.
"Maybe I'm busy trying to undo the collateral effects of soul shaping, maybe I don't have the interest right now, does it matter?"
As the degree of evolution increases, Li Jie becomes more and more picky about intimate objects, even many times. It's just for the sake of relieving pain and stress. There is more pleasure in conquering and mastering than in pleasure. I can't talk about how much I love it.
"I just want to be able to share your discomfort a little bit......"
Olivia gently removed the only wide robe on her body, and let it slip off her body and stack it on the ground, revealing a perfectly white body without any flaws, and gently crouched under Li Jie, muttering like a dream, almost eager to rub everything into the body of the man in front of her.
"My dear Olivia, there is no such thing as discomfort in the world. The so-called hardship and hardship are just nourishment that helps us break free from our shackles and shells and move towards a new life. ”
The golden liquor is drunk in one go. The wine glass was carried into the house by an invisible force, Li Jie gently inserted his fingers between Olivia's supple hair, countless shiny hair waterfalls slid from his fingertips, he raised his head, staring at the scorching sun above the boundless sky, even if it was hundreds of millions of kilometers away from the earth, this majestic star still cut through the void to transmit light and heat.
The light and heat that was originally unsparing and rained down with rain and dew seemed to encounter an irresistible force when it was transmitted to Li Jie's vicinity, and they couldn't help but converge with him as the origin, making this small corner much brighter than other places. The invisible radiant energy was transmitted slowly and steadily to the depths of his soul in his clear perception......
"Change makes us painful, and pain makes us stronger."
He sighed softly in his throat.
――――――――――
Even the Demon Monarch Mephisto. After all, there is a limit.
Although he has endurance far beyond ordinary people and even his kind, the soul origin cannot be stimulated indefinitely. So after many attempts, I had to slow down my crazy energy tempering slightly, and began to find more ways to soothe my long-term nervous and conscious tensions.
It seems that there is a need to find more fun and pastime in life.
And at this time, Li Jie received a call from Taylor.
"Hi Bruce, how are you doing? …… Oh, by the way, I'm going to have a little party tomorrow...... Just a party between friends, don't know if you have time to come? ”
The little diva was definitely not calm when she spoke, and although there was nothing particularly wrong with it on the surface, Li Jie could clearly hear a hint of nervousness and anticipation from the occasional slight interruption in the rhythm of her breathing and the somewhat unnatural end note.
"By the way, Emma and they will also come over, she asked me to thank you for attending the premiere of her new film, you must know that I didn't attend because of the concert, but she complained a lot of times!"
Taylor would call at this time, apparently because of the repeated chatter of the magician Emma, and while listening to the other party's intermittent talk and explanation, Li Jie was lying leisurely on the edge of the balcony, looking down on the large but unusually well-behaved loyal dogs on the lawn below.
At the head of these large dog queues was a Newpoliton dog named Oppenheimer.
Oppenheimer's thick and smooth tail end, which was indistinguishable from other similar species, has vaguely grown many faint dark red fine scales, and what is even more surprising is that near the nose of its ugly face, there are faint sparks escaping, and even the air has become wavering, which is obviously due to the change in the heat distribution of the air caused by the high temperature, resulting in obvious light refraction.
If it is divided by the strength level of the demon, Oppenheimer should have touched the edge of the middle position, although it is because of Li Jie's occasional training, it can be regarded as a very big improvement in terms of the performance of genetic dogs.
However, in terms of appearance, Oppenheimer's biggest change is still in size, when he first entered the laboratory, he was about 70-80 cm tall at the shoulder, and now it is more than 150 cm, and the body length is nearly 5 meters!
This directly caused Oppenheimer to weigh more than 500 kilograms now, almost ten times more than at the beginning, even the original loose skin and folds of the whole body were occupied by strong and full muscles, thick and sharp toenails protruded from the feet, looking like a black Far Eastern giant tiger from a distance, but far more terrifying than the king of the beasts of the earth.
"Of course, I will attend, thank you for the invitation."
Li Jie's gaze swept over the unusually tame giant dogs below, and responded lazily.
"Really?! That's great! ”
Hearing his answer, Taylor on the other end of the phone was obviously very happy.
"Oh, by the way, I heard you like pets, right?"
"Yes, do you have pets too?"
"A friend will go with me tomorrow." (To be continued......)
