Chapter 397 Turnaround
"I don't know." Zhang Weilai lowered his head, his heart full of doubts and confusion on his face.
Hao Xiaoxi sighed softly. She stretched out her hand and twisted up a white silk thread that had drifted to the corner of Zhang Weilai's clothes at some point. Then she said meaningfully: "I don't know either, but the directors of the coalition government must know."
Zhang Weilai was stunned.
Before he had time to think carefully, someone pushed open the office door and called to him softly: "Director Zhang, it's your turn to take the stage soon, are you ready?"
Chapter director?
This title made Zhang Weilai feel dazed for a moment. He quickly came back to his senses, looked at Hao Xiaoxi apologetically and said, "Teacher, I'll go first."
Hao Xiaoxi nodded.
The two have actually completed the handover of duties in an event attended only by senior officials of the coalition government. Zhang Weilai legally succeeded Hao Xiaoxi as a director of the coalition government.
Next comes the announcement.
When Zhang Weilai swears to die for the coalition government in front of billions of people around the world, this round of replacement between the old and the new will be completely completed.
Zhang Weilai followed the person who called him and left the office.
He didn't understand what Hao Xiaoxi said, but Hao Xiaoxi's words planted a throbbing seed in his heart.
This seed is very energetic.
There was something in the seed that was about to move. He could feel it, but he couldn't describe it.
Maybe after experiencing some more things, the seeds will break open.
By then, he would understand the deep meaning of Hao Xiaoxi's words.
This can only be understood but cannot be expressed.
After Zhang Weilai left, Hao Xiaoxi sat in silence for two minutes, then got up and walked to the chair by the window to sit down.
She looked at her reflection on the glass and smiled unconsciously.
A long time ago, she often sat in this position, looking out the window into the distance, listening to Zhou Zhezhi analyze the situation for her, and learning from Zhou Zhezhi's vision and thoughts.
Later, she sat in Zhou Zhezhi's seat, and Zhang Weilai sat in her seat.
She could imagine that in a while, Zhang Weilai would be sitting in her seat, and another person she may or may not know would be sitting in Zhang Weilai's seat.
"Inheritance." She suddenly thought of this word.
In an instant, inexplicable emotion welled up in her eyes and condensed into tears that had nothing to do with joy or sorrow. They trickled down her cheeks and onto her thighs, soaking a small piece of her clothes.
Hao Xiaoxi didn't understand why she cried, because she was neither very happy nor very sad.
Did Teacher Zhou cry before?
She reached up to touch her tears, feeling the complex emotions lingering in her heart at this moment.
Silence accompanies her.
After a while, she saw a commotion among the people downstairs through the glass. She moved closer to the glass and discovered that it was Zhang Weilai who had climbed onto the high platform.
Are you about to be sworn in?
She knew what Zhang Weilai's speech was because Zhang Weilai came to see her several times.
"I swear to be loyal to international law, uphold the authority of international law, perform legal duties, be loyal to the earth and the people, fulfill my duties, be honest and honest, and accept the supervision of the people."
She whispered, thinking of the day she was sworn in.
The sound echoed throughout the square.
".Work hard to build a rich, beautiful, powerful, harmonious and scientific interstellar civilization!"
Zhang Weilai's heart was beating wildly.
A young man who came out of a small city never thought that one day he would be able to stand here, openly face the camera and make such remarks, and be recognized by billions of people.
Thank you to the country, thank you to the coalition government, thank you to Teacher Hao, and thank you to Earth Consciousness.
Zhang Weilai has too many people he wants to thank, but this is not the right place for him to express his gratitude, because people want to hear the directors' plans and expectations for the future of the coalition government, not the directors' summary of their own life experiences.
When a person changes from an ordinary citizen to a director of a joint government capable of deciding the fate of civilization on earth, that person is no longer himself.
He will become a complex of everyone's expectations - a "symbol" that simultaneously possesses all the good qualities of human beings and the ability to solve any difficulty.
Zhang Weilai continued to read his speech.
This manuscript has been revised hundreds of times, and every word and every symbol is filled with his hard work.
The efforts made before the formal speech made his voice extremely attractive at this moment. People listened to him reading the manuscript for twenty minutes with enthusiasm, and they were still unfinished at the end.
If when some leaders deliver long speeches, their speeches can be half as good as Zhang Weilai's speech, people around them will be greatly less disgusted with them.
The speech ended, and the audience burst into deafening applause and cheers.
"Long live Director Zhang!"
"Director Zhang said that is great!"
"Director Zhang is so funny!"
"."
At the same time, four other new directors who had delivered speeches before Zhang Weilai came up from the stage.
They stood in a row with Zhang Weilai, and the leaders of the corresponding countries wore coalition government brooches and nameplates with corresponding identities on them.
"Good job."
"Everyone's future lies with you."
A gray-haired old man stood in front of Zhang Weilai. He pinned a nameplate on Zhang Weilai and gave an encouraging smile.
[Position: Permanent Director]
[Name: Zhang Weilai]
The nameplate is just a light alloy piece, but Zhang Weilai feels heavy.
"I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations of me!" He said firmly.
Five years have passed since the formation of the exploration team.
In the past five years, the coalition government has discovered an average of twelve universes worth exploring every month, and a total of more than 720 universes have been discovered in the past five years.
Most of these universes make little sense.
The coalition government has long discovered that the wormholes opened by the earth's consciousness all lead to the universe derived from earth's entertainment works.
How many cultural and entertainment works are there on Earth?
It's hard to say.
New entertainment works are born every minute on earth. Some of them enter bookstores or appear on the screen. The rest may not be successful, but they can also be regarded as completed works.
Since the number of cultural and entertainment works is constantly changing, even MOSS cannot accurately say how many cultural and entertainment works there are on the earth.
There are too many entertainment works, which makes the more than 720 universes discovered by the coalition government in the past five years of little use to the coalition government.
"Family with Children" universe, "Love Apartment" universe, "Wolf of Wall Street" universe, "White Deer Plain" universe, "Pride and Prejudice" universe, "Sherlock Holmes" universe.
The entertainment works represented by these universes have many fans on Earth, but these universes are meaningless to the United Government.
Because they have neither special materials nor advanced technology.
However, a turning point occurred on the day when the coalition government changed. (End of chapter)
