Chapter 176: Invitation
Zheng Guo left the café, took a ride to the Pearl High-tech Park, and went straight to the emperor penguin headquarters. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The nurse was already waiting for him at the door.
"I'm sorry to trouble you." Zheng Guo said apologetically.
"Not really." The milk brother smiled, "Because of this, the exposure of our platform has skyrocketed, and the average daily traffic has skyrocketed by more than one million, and my sister is now estimated to be able to wake up with a smile when she sleeps." ”
"Yes."
The two walked inside as they talked.
"But you, Master," said the nurse, "will they come to make things difficult for you?" ”
Zheng Guo smiled: "Don't worry, this is our territory, so we can't let them mess around." ”
While waiting for the elevator, the grandmother looked around, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously: "To be honest, don't you really know the coordinates of the Garden of Eden?" ”
Zheng Guo looked at him and didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "You don't believe me?" ”
The milk brother was stunned: "Uh, believe it, hehe, of course I believe it." ”
Then he didn't ask any more questions.
The elevator came down, and the two walked in, pressing the twelfth floor.
Zheng Guo couldn't tell the truth to her brother because he had promised Fujiwara before to help her keep it a secret.
In fact, Zheng Guo couldn't quite understand Fujiwara's approach.
According to his philosophy, it is an inevitable trend for human beings to branch out in the universe, and the tide of the times is mighty and cannot be stopped by one or a few people, and he is not averse to playing the role of a "pathfinder" in it.
Of course, the main purpose and purpose of his expedition is to satisfy his own curiosity and curiosity, and it is not impossible to add a boost to human exploration by the way.
In the end, it's based on the principle of going with the flow.
And Misaki Fujiwara seems to be consciously avoiding this.
So there is a difference between the two of them, at least in this regard.
The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor, and the two of them walked towards Prowancai's office.
At the door of the office stood two strong men with a height of more than one meter eight, with grim faces.
The nurse stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
The two walked in.
There were two foreigners sitting on the sofa, and when they saw Zheng Guo coming in, they immediately stood up.
Director Kerry spoke in English, and the man next to him translated for him.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, thank you for agreeing to this meeting."
"Hello," Zheng Guo said, "I have already said everything that should be said at the meeting, I don't know what you are here for this time?" ”
Director Kerry wears a simultaneous translation device, so he doesn't need to be translated by anyone around him.
"Don't get me wrong, this is a private meeting." Director Kerry said with a smile, "There is an old saying in China, there is a friend from afar, and it is very happy. I have come to see you as a 'friend from afar'. ”
Zheng Guo glanced at Prowangcai, who nodded and said, "Director Kerry came to China this time to contact the new representative in China, and I want to come and meet with you after the matter is done." ”
Director Kerry made a gesture of invitation to the door: "Can you please go out and talk?" ”
"Of course."
Zheng Guo walked outside.
Director Kerry turned around and said to Prowancai in a broken Chinese language: "Chop some to find (thank you for your hospitality), sister Aluminum (beauty)." ”
Prowancai smiled and said, "You're welcome."
Director Kerry went out after Zheng Guo and said to the two bodyguards, "It's safe here, you don't have to come with you."
Then the same thing was said to the portable translator.
After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Zheng Guo a sentence, which translated: "You should be able to understand English, right?" ”
"I don't understand."
Director Kerry then took down a simultaneous translator and handed it to Zheng Guo.
"Make do with it, I'd like to talk to you alone."
……
The two walked along the empty corridor to a viewing platform.
"Do you smoke?" Director Kerry pulled a box of cigarettes out of his pocket.
Zheng Guo waved his hand.
"Mind if I smoke one?"
"Please."
Kerry lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Recently, there have been frequent changes in the staff, and it is not easy to find such an opportunity to meet with you." He puffed out a puff of cigarette outside.
"I guess you came to me this time more than just a chat." Zheng Guo said, "I like to get straight to the point. ”
Kerry laughed a few times and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush." ”
"In the past year or two, with the gradual improvement of human space navigation technology, more and more planets have been discovered and colonized, and the scope of human activities in the universe has been expanding day by day. He took a drag on his cigarette, "The future will always come faster than you think, hehe." ”
Zheng Guo didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.
"UNDP also has a growing number of Member States and has developed a complete resource chain. In other words, UNDP is now fully capable of self-sufficiency. After a pause, he continued, "So, after deliberations, the five core member states decided to separate from the United Nations. ”
Zheng Guo looked at him and was a little surprised: "Independent? ”
Kerry nodded: "This is also to better promote the development of human beings in the universe." Being an independent organization will make decisions and plans more freely and efficiently. ”
"To put it simply, we are an organization that represents the overall interests of all mankind, and at this stage we are mainly responsible for interstellar colonization and development, and we will also shoulder the heavy responsibility of earth defense and counterattack in the future."
Seeing Zheng Guo's expression, he explained, "With the current speed of development, we may find an extraterrestrial civilization at any time. Did the first contact between the two civilizations bring about a gentle exchange, or a brutal war? Nobody knows, but we have to be prepared. ”
Zheng Guo nodded in agreement.
"UNDP plans to establish a Special Services Executive Department, independent of national conquests and armies, and accountable only to UNDP. Staff recruitment is currently underway. Kerry threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray on the side, looked at Zheng Guo, and said, "After a period of investigation, I think you are definitely up to the job." ”
Zheng Guo smiled: "So you actually came here in person this time?" ”
"No, no, no, I'm just visiting as a friend this time, by the way. If you wish, a formal invitation will be issued. Without waiting for him to speak, Kerry continued, "You should know the value of this invitation, not only for personal honor, but also for the country. You know, the number of staff in the Secret Service Department is very small. ”
Zheng Guo nodded: "Thank you for your affirmation, I will get straight to the point, I will not accept the invitation." ”
"I'll tell you the truth, before you, three other organizations invited me to join, and I turned them down. Because I quit my job to do this, neither for honor nor for some lofty ideals in life. I'm just trying to satisfy my heart's basic desires – the quest for freedom, and the curiosity for the unknown. Obviously, once you join your secret service organization, neither of these two exists. ”
Kerry said: "People like you really deserve a wider space. It's disappointing – I must admit it – but good luck. ”
"Thank you for your understanding."
The two stood for a while, and then walked back, after all, Kerry's time is very tight, and the time density is measured in minutes, unlike Zheng Guo, who is very generous in terms of days......
On the way, Zheng Guo suddenly remembered Masaki Fujiwara.
At that meeting, she refused to name the location of the Garden of Eden, citing forgetfulness.
Although she has the support of her family (the Fujiwara family is one of the investment groups of UNDP), and the people of UNDP do not dare to embarrass her too much, they will definitely not stop there.
"How's the progress on Masaki Fujiwara's side?" He asked tentatively.
Kerry sighed, "It's impossible to know the location of that planet from her mouth. ”
"Why?"
Kerry shook his head with a wry smile: "She's missing, and even her family doesn't know where she is now." ”
Zheng Guo was stunned for a moment, and then felt funny.
I wasn't surprised at all.
Her wildness has been aroused, how can she still be willing to be trapped on Earth?
Good luck. Zheng Guo thought to himself.
"By the way," Kerry said after a sudden thought, pausing for something, "do you have any suggestions for the new name of UNDP when it becomes independent?" ”
