Chapter 225: A Chance Encounter

The memory card is an audio and video recording of a day in the princess's bedroom, because in order to ensure the privacy of the person being monitored, the bedroom and the back of the changing screen are not filmed, but the recording is still turned on to ensure that the whereabouts of the person being monitored can be monitored at any time. There are two high-grade guest houses in Oriental Port, one is the Oriental Port Guest House in the old area, and the other is the second guest house in the port area. Such people are usually burdened with heavy responsibilities, and before the mind-reading elves can officially start working, they can only steal the confidential information of "guests" and "VIPs" in such a "despicable" way. If the person under surveillance leaves the surveillance area of the guest house, then a field agent from the Counterintelligence Division will follow them, and use recording equipment to approach the recording to obtain information, and the previous recording of the conversation between Ston and Miro at the farmer's market has made the "control use" stamp on Stone's file "reliable for first instance".

These memory cards were directly purchased when they crossed over, and the storage capacity was already the largest at that time, but it was inevitable that several pieces were damaged or lost in use, so there are corresponding requirements in use and storage, and they should not be brought out of the place of use by the patriarch without permission.

Gu Qingqian is now in such trouble, because there is no copper ore found near the Oriental Port, and the usual way for the Oriental Port to obtain copper is to directly import copper from overseas in addition to recycling copper coins, both of which are not large, plus the Ministry of Finance has to issue its own copper coins and the recent outbreak of conflict with Medeno to terminate the trade, the amount of copper that the Industrial Commission can use is increasingly stretched. Based on these reasons, the industrial committee can only produce copper wire in 100 meters, and in order to increase the number of copper wire materials have to be mixed with some other metals, even so, still can not meet the large amount of electricity needs of the Oriental Port, so most departments have not yet laid power lines, at this time can only set aside the bridge for laying wires in the future, and wait until the copper production in the future can be mass-produced copper wire before laying.

Under such circumstances, none of the offices of Gu Qingqian's Ministry of Commerce and Trade can guarantee 24-hour uninterrupted power supply at the moment, and she is quite privileged, with a small solar power plant on the roof, but due to the failure of the battery, it can only be used during the day. And she has to rely on computers for many of her work, and the small laptop has long since run out of power, and there is no power at the moment, so she can only take it to the Senate Hall to charge, which is the only place that can guarantee 24-hour power supply, and even the Yuanlao New Village can only ensure that the power supply is open after ten o'clock. So Gu Qingqian can only take her laptop to the Great Hall of the Senate to recharge it at the moment, and then return to the office to continue working after it is full. The Great Hall of the Senate has been relocated to the vicinity of the Yuanlao New Village at this moment, and it is impossible for her to wait for an hour or two to recharge at night, and then rush back to the administrative area from the Yuanlao New Village to work overtime, so it is better to simply rest and wait until tomorrow to check it out.

She stood up, put her laptop in her backpack, and walked out of the office with it. Liu Liting was napping on the desk next to the office at the moment, she actually asked Liu Liting to go home early after work when it was dark, but Mrs. Sun Wenbin was unwilling to go home early - not because she quarreled with Sun Wenbin, but because Sun Wenbin needed to guide a lot of agricultural work on the farm during this time, she couldn't be busy at all, and she only faced an empty home when she returned home, so she didn't want to go home.

Similar to Liu Liting, Gu Qingqian is also an empty home at the moment, of course, her reason is simpler, she has no time to find a boyfriend at all. Most of the male elders who participated in the crossing had the idea of coming to the New World to find ten or eight wives, even if there are not many female natives now, they still have many choices, and the female elders do not have as much choice as them. Even if the local natives have no money, they have a strong machismo, and at home it must be the man who has the final say, and the woman can only obey and obey. But the female patriarchs also traveled from the old world where women could hold up half the sky, and they have always hated this situation of being a female subordinate to a man, so naturally they have no interest in finding men among the natives. With the passage of time, the single issue of female senators has begun to become a problem that the senate needs to pay attention to, but the problem is that although the senators have raised this issue, there is no way to solve it at this stage, so they can only be left to the female senators to solve it themselves. Gu Qingqian's solution is quite simple and rude - looking for a best friend, she is the minister of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and the things that need to be dealt with every day are lined up and waiting, so she doesn't have a few girlfriends, and Liu Liting, who is in the same office as her, has become the best choice, the time is short, but it is good that there are rumors that the two of them are pulling after a little longer, but Gu Qingqian does not have any special reaction to this, she knows that for this kind of rumor, not to defend it is the best way to deal with it.

For Liu Liting, it is a good thing to commute with Gu Qingqian, although she is married to Sun Wenbin, she is still full of curiosity about this strange and huge senate. Sun Wenbin directs production on the farm every day, and can count the number of times she can go home a week on five fingers, and she even complains to Gu Qingqian in private that she is like a "widow". Gu Qingqian was very happy when she heard her complaints, you must know that Liu Liting said that she was a "widow", which was equivalent to cursing Sun Wenbin, she dared to say this to herself, so she didn't treat herself as an outsider. With the contact between the two women during this time, the relationship has become quite harmonious, and in the past few days, Liu Liting has simply moved to Gu Qingqian's house to sleep, at least she is not so afraid to be with Gu Qingqian, even in the old new village where there are soldiers standing guard, a woman living in an empty big house still makes her sleep badly.

"Xiao Liu!" Gu Qingqian gently pushed Liu Liting, who was napping, Liu Liting opened her eyes that were a little hazy, and saw that it was Gu Qingqian, so she quickly stood up, "Can we go?" ”

"Yes," Gu Qingqian nodded, but then raised the notebook backpack in her hand and said, "We still have to go to the Senate Assembly Hall first, this thing needs to be recharged." ”

"Well, okay," Liu Liting wiped the corners of her eyes and hurriedly said, "I'll go and ask the coachman to get ready." So saying, he ran out.

The Ministry of Commerce and Trade is not as good as the Executive Committee, and at the moment the Rolls-Royce of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade are all human versions, and it is more tiring for the two women to step on the car. Moreover, it is very late, and the last commuter train to Yuanlao New Village has been completed an hour ago, so the office of the Minister of Commerce and Trade, who often works overtime, paid for a naturalized migrant worker to be the driver to take them to and from work every day.

Gu Qingqian, who walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, couldn't help but be shivered by the oncoming cold wind, and hurriedly wrapped her woolen coat tightly.

With a gurgling sound, a Rolls-Royce approached, and there was a light-haired naturalized citizen sitting in the driver's seat, as soon as he parked the car, he quickly got out of the car, opened the car door and pulled the door and bowed to Gu Qingqian, "Chief!" Come in! ”

Gu Qingqian smiled at him, nodded and got into the car, took off the notebook and backpack and put it on the floor between her legs. The naturalized man led Liu Liting to get into the car from the other side of the car, and when she got into the car and sat down, she carefully closed the two doors, and then jumped on the Rolls-Royce, and then began to step on.

In fact, the Rolls-Royce itself is not heavy, but with the arrival of winter, even in the winter in tropical Annam, the temperature is still quite low. Therefore, the Industrial Committee specially produced a batch of canopies made of iron frames, tarpaulins and glass, which were directly covered on the roof and fixed to ensure that the temperature in the car was not too low. The effect of this kind of canopy is not bad, especially after some of the veterans independently created and added cotton, cotton and even quilts, the warmth effect of the vehicle is quite good, but the direct consequence is to add a weight equivalent to one and a half adults to the body, plus wind resistance, so that the power to propel the vehicle is reduced by more than half, so some female veterans have begun to step on these modified versions of Rolls-Royce.

The vehicle began to move forward slowly, and although Liu Liting and Gu Qingqian were passengers, they also helped to step on the pedals together to increase the propulsion of the vehicle.

"Chief, don't bother you! Just step on the small ones! The driver hurriedly said, "You have worked hard all day, how can you work hard?" ”

"It's okay, it's not too strenuous, let's just exercise to lose weight." Gu Qingqian said with a smile, Liu Liting also smiled and asked, "What about Master Liu yesterday?" Why did you change people today? ”

"Oh, Master Liu is going to the transportation team today for a physical examination, as well as a thought report, and I will come over for him to help today." The driver said respectfully, "My name is Ruan Xiaoer, thank you for your concern for Master Liu." ”

"Ruan Xiaoer?" Gu Qingqian asked with interest, "Your name is interesting, you can swim, right?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer was a little confused, and hurriedly said, "The little one can swim, but he can't swim very well and can float." ”

Gu Qingqian and Liu Liting looked at each other and laughed, and began to whisper about their best friends.

Ruan Xiaoer, this young man came from the battle of Wu'an Village in Wenjiazhuang, because he couldn't get used to the harassment of the people by the villagers of Wu'an Village, he and a few like-minded people followed Zhou Botong out of Wu'an Village. His departure coincided with the time, and after walking a short distance, he encountered the Senate troops who came to encircle and suppress Wu'an Village, so he was accepted as an "insurrectionist", and soon passed the political trial, and after the purification process, he became a naturalized citizen. Unlike Zhou Botong, he did not have the experience of a dart master like Zhou Botong, let alone received an education, and even in the cultural training class, he could only barely graduate. Naturalized people like him, who had little education, could only be assigned to the Committee of Agriculture to do chores, and were not sent to follow Zhou Botong to work as a policeman, but because he belonged to the first batch of "rebels", he was arranged to work in the transportation team.

His name was too individual, so he was not poisoned by the patriarchs who had a bad taste for naming when he was in the Civil Affairs Committee, so he kept it, but what made him feel strange was that no matter which patriarch heard his name, he would take the initiative to ask him if he was a good swimmer. He also asked those elders, but most of these elders looked at each other and smiled, and occasionally a few patient ones just smiled and recommended "Water Margin" to him. Thinking of this, Ruan Xiaoer couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, if he could read books, why would he be a coolie here?

In fact, what he didn't know was that if it weren't for the fact that he had to be reused as a typical "insurrectionist", this driving thing would not have been his turn at all, and what he wanted to drive in the future was learning, and it was very likely that an almost illiterate naturalized citizen like him would not be able to bear this "heavy responsibility".

"Wait!" The corner of Gu Qingqian's eyes skimmed over the place where the lights were on not far away, and suddenly shouted, "Stop!" ”

Ruan Xiaoer was still a little distracted before, and when he heard Gu Qingqian's voice, he couldn't help but be scared out of a cold sweat in his vest, and hurriedly stopped the car. Turning her head, Gu Qingqian was pushing the car door and jumping out of the car. He hurriedly jumped out of the car, intending to ask the chief, but saw Gu Qingqian striding towards a table not far away. When I got closer, I heard Gu Qingqian say loudly, "Okay, you Xiao Jing, you don't sleep at night, you actually came out with her!" ”

From the administrative district to the Yuanlao New Village, the Chengxi Railway Station and the bus transfer station are all necessary roads, because the night snack street is also lit with kerosene lamps at night in order to attract business, so the naturalized drivers who drive at night like to walk from this road. Just now, Gu Qingqian glanced out the window and happened to see Xiao Jing sitting on a roadside stall eating, and there was a gorgeously dressed woman sitting next to him, although Gu Qingqian was a little short-sighted and couldn't see clearly, but the richly dressed princess dress at the dinner party had long been rotten in her heart, and she was the same as the woman in front of her. She couldn't believe that Xiao Jing would take a princess from an "enemy country" out to visit the supper stall, but now Jacqueline was being fed a piece of stinky tofu by Xiao Jing in front of her.

This...... What is this? The two countries are at war, and they haven't started negotiations yet, but the top negotiator on their side is out for supper with the top negotiator of the other side, and they are still so close - how should the next negotiations be carried out? Who knows if it's going to be leaked?
