Chapter 13: Ignored and Noticed (3)

"Aren't you afraid that I'll give away your secret in a while?" Chen Ying asked.

"Maybe I'm not that cautious, but this meeting is a mock event after all, and it doesn't matter if you take the stage to speak and explain my views – because if that happens, at least it means that my views are accepted and recognized by others, and that there are representatives of countries who are willing to stand with me."

"It's very generous to have that kind of thought." Chen Ying admired, "I won't plagiarize your ideas." Your proposal is a sensitive issue, but I am sure that there must be other delegates' concerns. This is covered in the afternoon session, and you can try to speak first, and if that doesn't work out, you can ask questions or make a motion. ”

"Actually, I kind of regret that I didn't submit my position paper before the meeting." He made a gesture of resignation, "because I felt that my opinion might not be taken care of." ”

"Don't be presumptuous, do your best in everything." "Now you should be happy because you know that no matter what the final result is, at least the Danish representatives will support you," she said. ”

"You're not afraid of betraying your European allies?"

"Maybe I'm making a fatal mistake, but joining the league doesn't mean losing myself. While the EU will eventually take a position on the issue as a whole, it will not prevent each member state from holding its own opinion. ”

They laughed together. There were only a few empty plates left on the table in front of him. Most of the delegates around them have finished eating, and some have already left the restaurant to return to the conference room. Together, they stood up, placed empty plates and trays in their designated places, and walked up the stairs with paper bags emblazoned with the event's logo. A half-height speaker was placed at the door of the conference room, and Michael Jackson's famous English song "Save the World" was playing inside:

“……

People keep dying,

If you truly care about life,

Just for you, for me, to create a better world

……”

"Look, now even the public opinion guidance supports you." Chen Ying said to the boy as she walked. He listened for a moment and laughed.

They walked into the conference room together and sat down in their original seats. He clasped his hands on the tip of his nose and stared intently at the podium, gasping for air. He took out the card he had in his pocket and hurriedly added a few lines to it. He slammed the card face down on the table, occasionally flipping up a corner to peek twice. His lips moved quickly, without making a sound. There was still half an hour before the afternoon meeting began, and the girl sitting on the other side of him was still sleeping on her desk. He adjusted the timer on his watch and practiced it quickly and silently, this time before the timer beeped. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and made an OK gesture to Chen Yingbi. She smiled at him in return.

"I think I've practiced well enough." He whispered to her, "Thank you for your encouragement at noon." ”

"No thanks. To refuel. She replied in a low voice.

The clock at the door pointed to one o'clock in the afternoon, and the President of the meeting, looking around, saw that the delegates were already present, and went up to the podium to announce the resumption of the meeting. Chen Ying flipped through the materials in her hand and quickly took notes under each topic. The whole process proceeds in an orderly manner. Halfway through the afternoon meeting, the representative of France sent a text message informing her not to forget to draw lots to decide on the EU presidency the following day before leaving.

"The event was really both formal and serious." She thought as she replied to the message. At this time, the Rwandan delegate sitting next to her straightened the hem of his suit and strode towards the center of the round venue.
