Chapter 644: Zhang Lisheng's Calculations
Ruili is obviously a regular customer of the restaurant, as soon as she entered the door, there was a waitress wearing a white shirt, a gray skirt, sleeves rolled up high, and a busy waitress with the order order greeted very quickly: "Ruili, are you here to occupy a seat today, can you go to table eight, I will go over in a while." ”
"Good Ressa. The girl smiled and nodded at the waiter, led Zhang Lisheng through the restaurant that began to get more and more seats, walked towards the corner, and explained in a low voice along the way: "Most of the business in this restaurant comes from nearby media reporters, and they are all regular customers, so they don't accept reservations, and if you want to eat, you can only take a seat early..."
Saying that, the two of them came to a square table with two sides against the wall and could accommodate about seven or eight people to eat, Ruili took out the phone from her handbag and dialed, "Jones is lucky today, I have taken a place, you and Cathy talk to them, and come over quickly after overtime." ”
"Have you taken up a vacant seat, it's great, Ruili, you don't know how much I want to eat the little red sausage hot dog of the 'Reporter's House' now, I really want to run over immediately, alas, but my legs are going to be tired and broken after a day of work, and I am afraid that I will not be able to run after work for a while." A weak female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Then I'll give you good news, cheer me up, I'm with a special person you really want to meet now, don't want to miss a moment, run over. ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and after a few seconds, the voice became louder, "Ruili Laven, you, you, you mean Li, is that person with you?"
"Whisper Jones, you know how hard he's hid from interviews, but he's so unlucky today. drove around the street, but chose the 'Reporter's House' for dinner," Ruili lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Come over later, remember that it's just a meal between friends, don't bring your work, understand." ”
"I understand, I understand, rest assured, I'll warn Pierre about their, oh, damn Ferwin let me work overtime. Damn it. Damn, I'll do it right away, just wait for me. An anxious voice came from the back of the phone, and then someone hung up.
Ruili shrugged and put away her phone. Looking at the young man, he said jokingly, "Do you hear that, dear brother?" How attractive you are right now.
Many of my colleagues regret snubbing you at the last party. Interested in getting to know them again?"
"Of course I'm not interested, I'm 100% focused on the 'Experimental Oasis' now, and I don't care about anything else. No one wants to know anyone. ”
"Experimental Oasis, oh yes, you've dug up a lot of wetlands there, and you've written a great paper about it, right, it's a very newsworthy story, but it's a shame that it's cold, and now all the attention of the world's reporters is on Justin and Emma Watson's wedding.
Speaking of which, you've already gotten out of breath as you wished. ”
"The whole world..."Zhang Lisheng shook his head with a dumb smile, "You mean the little 'Noah'."
Ruili, the poor worms of those isolated island cities on the earth don't care about any celebrity scandals, of course, they have long been out of the news. ”
"That's not necessarily..."Hearing this, Ruili seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by the waitress who hurried to the table, "Ruili, what do you want today?"
"Two cans of iced Coke, three cups of latte... Two servings of hot dogs with red sausage, three servings of pasta with ribs... That's pretty much it, Ressa, Xie Lu. After the girl reported the menu she had already thought of and sent the waiter away, Chao Qing continued: "There is news that New York State Assemblyman Barbara Strand's campaign is promoting the 'honeymoon relationship' between the Witch and the Federation in Old New York City.
She is also said to be planning to introduce a bill asking the federal government to plead for the establishment of formal diplomatic relations with the 'Witches' and ask them to provide humanitarian assistance to federal refugees.
If this bill passes, you're probably going to be in the limelight again. ”
The reason why Zhang Lisheng spent a lot of effort and effort to establish a friendly relationship between 'Wu Li' and the government of the United States through a series of designs is that one day he can allow his faith army to pass peacefully through the territory of the Federation and conquer other 'worldly realms'.
Of course, this whimsical goal cannot be achieved overnight, and must be achieved slowly through the gradual improvement of the relations between 'Wu Li' and Millican, and the exchange of envoys to confirm formal diplomatic relations can be regarded as a key breakthrough in it.
The coveted opportunity has begun to emerge, Zhang Lisheng's heart shook and he was in ecstasy, but when he heard the strange wish of the federal parliamentarian to let the Wuli people, who were still cannibal natives not long ago, give humanitarian aid to the refugees in the United States, he couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment, and said with a smile: "Humanitarian aid, let Wu Li give humanitarian aid to the federal refugees...
Oh, that's, it's an unexpected proposition, but I appreciate it, really, very much. ”
"Journalists running the 'political line' say that this is just a 'dying struggle' for Congressman Barbara to get into the Senate next year," Ruili shook her head and said, "She has very little prestige among the new New York residents of the Noah's world, and now she can only fight the idea of those old New York refugees who are stranded on the earth." ”
"What, could it be that those citizens of the Federation who were stranded on Earth during the election could still vote?"
"Of course, according to the Magna Carta, citizens cannot be deprived of the right to vote under any circumstances, and the federal government can unite with the local governments of the states to prevent refugees from entering the Noah's realm, but it must not prevent them from voting. ”
"Is there such a thing," Zhang Lisheng did not grow up in a Western democracy after all, and he was a god of dictatorship, unable to understand the importance of the election campaign for Milliken, and said in surprise: "How is this possible!"
Is it necessary to go to cities that have become isolated islands to collect votes and monitor whether it is fair, how much financial, material and human resources it will take?"
"No matter how big the price is, you have to do Li Sheng, otherwise Milicon will have no meaning to exist," the girl replied without hesitation in a natural tone: "What's more, things are not as difficult as you think, the communication channels of the military and the government are now very smooth, and the Federation is actually still firmly in control of the territory on the earth..."
"It's just that tens of millions of less important low-level citizens have been abandoned," the young man mused to interrupt the girl in a sarcastic tone, and just as the waiter came up with a drink, he didn't continue to talk nonsense.
"Ruili dear, I brought you something to drink first. The waitress who looked average but had a very sexy figure put the drink on the table, smiled at Ruili, pointed at Zhang Lisheng and asked, "Is this handsome and charming young man your boyfriend?"
"He, of course not, he's my family, my brother. Ruili smiled and shook her head.
"Oh, and what of these drinks are for your brother?"
"Coke, his favorite drink is ice Coke. ”
"It's such a fun habit, I asked for these two cans of Coke.
It's nice to meet you, my name is Ressa Marian, I work the day shift in this restaurant, I leave work at 7 p.m., I'm always happy to spend a nice night with you if you're interested. The waiter winked at the young man, and then left to continue his busy work.
It turns out that Ressa likes bearded Asian men, no wonder Tony can't catch up with him.
Oh, good luck is coming to Li Sheng, there is a girl who takes the initiative to date, it seems that Aunt Lili's worries are really unnecessary..."Ruili said jokingly, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a few friends who had made an appointment with Lu and an unexpected colleague pushed the door and walked into the restaurant, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Jones, Cathy, Doberman... Miss Julie. ”
"Hey, Ruili..."Five or six young assistant producers and fledgling reporters rushed to table eight with strange expressions and sat down to smile at Ruili first, then looked at the young man beside her, and greeted with a slight hesitation: "Good evening, Dr. Zhang." And the new popular anchors who are in line with their actions always have natural expressions.
"Oh, we should have met at Ruili's party before, and now it's not during working hours like interviews, so you don't need to be so formal, just call me Li Sheng." Hearing such a formal title, Zhang Lisheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a dumb smile.
Hearing this, everyone else just smiled, but Jones's expression relaxed suddenly, and she really smiled like an old friend meeting and said, "Compared to the last party, you have changed a lot, Li Sheng, your skin looks healthy, and you even have a beard, are you really living in seclusion in the desert?"
"That's pretty much it, I wrote a paper in the desert, and based on the theory of the paper, I dug up a large wetland and turned it into a pasture, and now I'm trying to turn the pasture into a farm, so I can't take care of myself at all. The youth shrugged.
"I have an idea for this news," Jones said, looking at Zhang Lisheng with shiny eyes, "Your paper was published on the frontispiece of Science magazine.
The editor-in-chief, Professor Donnaholt, commented, "This is the greatest biological discovery of the 21st century so far, and if the new Nobel Prize continues to be selected, I don't think there will be any suspense about the winner of the Biomedical Prize." ”
"Oh, it's a pity that Professor Donnaholt is not the chairman of the Nobel Prize jury, and Sweden is almost dead, so I guess the government and the royal family don't have the heart to hold the award ceremony now. In the face of the praise of the young man, he shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "This is nothing remarkable, in fact, compared to these empty evaluations, science can have an impact on human society is more important."
