The news that Wen Xi "attended" the dinner party after the Northern Conference spread like wildfire.

All the participants in the south were deeply confused about this matter. In addition, Wen Xi did not live in the state guesthouse arranged by the government for the south, nor did he live in Wen Chong's official residence as usual, but in Wu's house, so that People from the south could not come to pay a visit after the meeting, nor could they find out Wen Xi's true feelings by phone or other means.

Wen Xi came, but as before, he still did not issue any orders to the outside world.

The joy of Wen Xi's appearance at the venue at the beginning gradually cooled down, and invisible cracks gradually appeared in the interior of the south.Some people think that Wen Xi may have been secretly placed under house arrest by the northern government during the period of her disappearance. Xi is waiting for the next third consultation meeting, she will definitely express her position at the final meeting, and she has always done so; the two provinces that have already started contacting the northern government are somewhat disturbed by Wen Xi's appearance. Undecided, the members of their group generally believed that Wen Xi did not make a statement, but just watched the excitement, and took this opportunity to see the attitudes of the provinces. After the second meeting is over, she will definitely clean up those dissidents who are not loyal to her. She is not like Rong Lanzhi, she will miss old love, she likes to cut grass and roots.

Such a south is like a pot of muddy water that is gradually boiling. No one can sit down and talk about the future of the south calmly.

Wen Xi's pregnancy, at this time, is even more exciting. It is really a child who comes at the most inappropriate time. How can a pregnant woman lead these ambitious southern scholars forward?People in the north may still not understand that what the south wants is by no means to be on an equal footing with the north, but what they want is to be superior to the north.

The second consultation meeting will last for two days. Rumors have been flying all over the night. It is already 10:30 when Wen Xi wakes up from sleep. Yesterday's verbal battle is over. Today is the most boring voting time. The meeting time Arranged in the afternoon.

Usually you can get the news in the morning, and the industry will also use the results of the votes to make a nationwide bet. Wen Xi also likes to check the odds early in the morning. She usually buys a little. The difference is that she used to call Bo Mei went to buy it, she was unlucky since she was a child, but Bo Mei was different, her fortune was astonishingly good, she won what she bought, she was a natural darling.

It is said that when Bo Mei seized the week in a hundred days, what she grabbed was the golden seal of her father Bo Zhengtao and a dice.

In Wen Xi's memory, there have been countless large and small meetings in the past five years, and any meeting that was about to rule the South always set off a carnival, but... Today's odds are really tempting, and she couldn't help waving Yang Fan went to buy it, and Yang Fan excitedly drank his morning tea and said, "I already bought it for you."

"What did you buy?"

Yang Fan whispered in Wen Xi's ear: "The first meeting was won by us in the south, the second time we must let the north win a game, and the third game will be decided. Isn't it the same routine every time?"

Wen Xi smiled, shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "This meeting is different, be careful of losing money."

Yang Fan was puzzled, and was about to ask again, when the housekeeper Mo Shi came over with a cloak, carefully put it on Wen Xi, and said, "The sun hasn't come out yet, and it's cold in the yard."

Wu Ershan hadn't gotten up yet, the courtyard was full of servants, Wen Xi's appetite was still good, after she had finished her morning tea, the sun jumped out from the middle of the clouds, and the entire fantasy capital was shrouded in a slight and solemn golden light , Standing in the courtyard of Wu Zhai, one can see at a glance the imperial palace standing tall among the high-rise buildings, which symbolizes the long-destroyed imperial power. Justice, fairness, and democracy are the supreme rights of the brand-new southern citizens.

Wen Xi said to Yang Fan: "Let's go for a walk in the street."

Yang Fan shook his head, "There are more people who buy lottery tickets than those who care about voting. There is not much excitement to watch....What did you and Director Zhan talk about last night?"

"Only talk about romance, not business."

"They all want to meet you before the official start of the afternoon." Yang Fan conveyed the wishes of the participants in the south. Wen Xi thought for a while, "Then go for a walk on the street and meet my old friends."

The streets of Huanjing are full of luxuriant summer scenes. When the car drove into a small teahouse, Yang Fan helped Wen Xi go upstairs. It was picking an important figure from the Southern faction who had been tough since her father's generation.It is well known that the Wen family covered the sky with one hand in the south. The northern newspapers condemned the Wen family every day for using black money to support politicians and critics. By her generation, she has become too white to be white, but if you were born black, you will be black until you die. Besides, if your surname is Wen, you will be black for several generations. The public opinion in the north will not make any sense with you.

The public opinion in the south is very reasonable. Wen Xi remembered that he won the trophy for the most outstanding young entrepreneur in the country last year...

To be a black crow and to be as prosperous as the Wen family has been unmatched since the founding of the country.

When Wen Xi was young, he complained to his father about being criticized by his classmates and teachers in the north. His father, Wen Cong, didn’t take it seriously. He said, there is no reason for you to be born like this. Lishi, reasoning is too tiring, let the northerners do it.

Then what is the foundation of the world?Little Wenxi once thought about this question, and later she understood it from Rong Lanzhi's precepts and deeds.

After some discussion, Wen Xi's hanging heart was also relieved. Most of the hardliners in the south had experienced the bloody dissension in the north after her father's death, and those who still held their positions were those with faith in their hearts.

With them here, Wen Xi didn't have to worry about the situation getting worse.

With Wen Xi around, they don't have to worry that the Wen family will withdraw their continuous financial support.

After this ventilation, Wen Xi and they all cleared up the estrangement. They had differences on the question of the ratio of voting between the North and the South in the afternoon. What ratio would it be good to maintain?It became something they had been pending.

They handed over the decision to Wen Xi, and Wen Xi rubbed her stomach—it's really ugly to have a big belly, she thought dissatisfied.

------------------

After a night of deliberation, the participants from the north and the south gathered in the hall again.

Unlike the closed doors and windows during the meeting, all the windows and doors are open during the voting session to show fairness and openness.

At the beginning of the vote, it was still important representatives from the North and the South who gave speeches. The two sides sorted out the main points of view of the North and the South during the debate and made impassioned statements. Wen Xi didn't like this kind of impassionedness. She looked at the bunches of sunshine shining in .

The light hits the table and is reflected on every face. When you look at all the people in this hall, you can quickly tell who is from the south and who is from the north?Wen Xi secretly complained for the heroes and martyrs of the country. How did they manage to make people who are completely different from each other go forward indomitably for the common national interest?

It's so hard.

The forests planted by the predecessors may be cut down by future generations like them.

Wen Xi looked at Wu Ershan who was still dozing off again. She sat with a group of people from the Northern and Southern Chambers of Commerce and looked out of place. Most of the assets of the Wu family were scattered all over the world. For her, this tax battle was Not to the point of threatening his family and property, and everyone present knew that the Wu family had always only voted to abstain or be neutral.

Looking around, Wen Xi's gaze finally fell on Zhan Banbi who was sitting at the table. She happened to be sitting in a beam of light, which made her side face look like a natural sculpture, and her eyes blinked. Very slowly, she seemed to be thinking quietly, but also seemed to be absent-minded, and her flying eyelashes cast a small shadow on the side of her face.

Wen Xi's eyes gradually fell from her clueless face to her crossed hands. The sunlight was so clear that the tooth marks were very clear. If Wen Xi's judgment is correct, the tooth marks are more It got worse yesterday.

At this time, the speeches of the South and the North are over, and it is the turn of the senior government fiscal and taxation consultant to give another speech, mainly talking about the current international situation and the future of the South, and... The South and the North are one family. .

When all the speeches were over and the ballot boxes were brought up, the scene gradually fell silent.

The participants lined up neatly, each side from the north to the south, and voted slowly and silently.

Silent voting is an old rule, everyone is not allowed to talk or talk, return to their original positions after voting, and wait quietly for the end of voting. Waiting at the ballot box.

Silent voting is not torture, silent waiting is.

During this period, Wen Xi asked Yang Fan to go out to buy an ointment. Yang Fan quickly went, and when he came back, he took the tube of ointment to rub it on her. Wen Xi shook his head and said no. He came back and forth, and the voting session has officially ended. .

With a sound of "Hula", the gray ballots fell to the ground like real money. Many people were already standing outside the windows of the auditorium to watch. As time went by, more and more people watched.

The onlookers outside the stadium were also unable to speak out.

After voting in the venue, those who returned from south to south and those from north to north sat in a fixed area, and there was not much conversation.

Wu Ershan was in a daze, the counting of votes had already begun, she held her chin, and according to her parents' request, she had to sit here for the entire game, she stretched her waist, and looked to the left at the person who was talking to Secretary Guan Zhan Banbi looked right at Wen Xi who was playing with a tube of ointment.

The tellers counted the votes with no headaches. In the past, machines were used to count the votes, just like counting banknotes, and the counting was finished in a blink of an eye.

This meeting is different. Both the North and the South feel that they need to count by hand, put them on the table, and let everyone stare at them to finish counting.

This can barely be counted as an intermission for the participants. Soon, people from the state banquet hall brought tea and cakes. Everyone can walk around and talk at will. Unlike in the past, during the counting time today, no one Talking across regions, as time went by, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more solemn, and it was about to freeze. Wen Xi stood up and walked towards Zhan Banbi who was still with his hands folded.

Seeing her coming, Zhan also stood up and walked towards her.

The two of you took a step forward, and I took a step forward, and happened to walk to the center of the venue.

Those in the south looked at Wen Xi, and those in the north looked at Zhan Banbi.

The atmosphere changed subtly, and everyone just looked at the two who were talking in a low voice.

"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have manually counted the votes. It's too slow. These tellers are too hard." Zhan Banbi said.

"It's better to slow down. It's rare for the North and the South to have such a reunion. I don't know when the next reunion will be?" Wen Xi went on talking, and she took out the tube of ointment from her pocket, "The injury on your hand, it doesn't matter. ?”

Wen Xi's questioning without warning disrupted the rhythm of their conversation. Zhan Banbi looked her in the eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't have any injuries on my hand, you misread it."

"Really." Wen Xi took her hand, and slowly pulled it over, watching carefully, Zhan Banbi gradually refused under her emotionless observation, she wanted to pull out her hand, Unexpectedly, Wen Xi just held her hand like this!

Wen Xi held on with one hand, and stretched out her index and middle fingers with the other hand, carefully touching those tooth marks next to each other. They looked weird and deep, and glowed with an indescribable flesh red color. After touching these traces, it is not difficult to guess the current mood of the owner who left these traces.

"The wound is quite deep, did you have tetanus?" Wen Xi asked with a smile, she looked at Zhan, and said with great interest: "Actually, I... also raised a fierce dog, and I have raised it for more than five years This little bitch had an owner. When she first came to my house, she would not eat or drink and went on a hunger strike, so I locked her in a room with no light."

Zhan Banbi looked at Wen Xi innocently, and Wen Xi continued: "I don't know how long she's been locked up, anyway, she's been honest since she came out of that room. She can eat whatever she wants. At first she bit me too, my On her hands, shoulders, legs, waist, ears, and sometimes on her face, there are teeth marks from her biting teeth, and she still barks every day. I look at her eyes, and I seem to understand that she wants to return. To her former master. . . . She ran away often, and the servants of the family kept losing her, and every time she was beaten, the little bitch herself was bruised and bruised. . . . Oh, what a fierce dog."

"Then what happened next?" Zhan Banbi asked.

Wen Xi raised her eyebrows, she squeezed out a little green ointment, and applied it on Zhan Banbi's wound with her own hands, "Later, this little bitch finally managed to escape, and she returned to the former owner she dreamed of....It's a pity, Her former owner doesn't seem to know her anymore."

"Hiss..." Wen Xi squeezed hard at this point, blood seeped from the deep tooth marks, Wen Xi carefully wiped it off, and then applied ointment on Zhan, Zhan frowned slightly in pain, this ointment The moment it melted in, Zhan's mind was full of the look in Bo Mei's eyes when she bit her last night and this morning, and she felt a heat in her heart, and a slight chill because of the ointment.

"The strangest thing is that she doesn't seem to know her former owner anymore, and she actually bites her former owner.... She really wants to recognize me only." Wen Xi said with some regret: "This fierce dog is still a dog in the end. Tamed by me, I thought she would never submit."

Zhan looked at the smile on the corner of Wen Xi's mouth, and she also bent the corner of her mouth, saying, "I thought you didn't know how to keep pets, but I didn't expect you to keep them so well. The former owner of the fierce dog must be very grateful to you."

"The former owner should thank me. It took me five years to pull out all the fangs and claws of this fierce dog. All that is left of her is her shiny fur and warm flesh, fierce dog No longer a fierce dog, she is a little pet that anyone can hug and rub."

When Wen Xi said this, the smile on Zhan's face became even wider, and Wen Xi also smiled lightly and covered her mouth.

At this time, the teller announced that the number of votes had come out.

Zhan Banbi and Wen Xi stopped talking, and they looked at the number plate held up high by the teller.

There was a commotion at the scene, and the northerners demanded a recount of the votes. They shouted that the number of votes must be wrong!

The people in the south knew that the dust had already been settled, and the proportion of the votes was finally determined by Wen Xi. Indeed... the numbers are not good, like a slap in the face of the northerners.

This is an unprecedented overwhelming vote. The eight southern provinces unanimously vetoed the northern government's ruling on the southern tax issue!

Even if all the neutral and abstaining votes were assigned to the north, the five northern provinces were defeated at this meeting.

Zhan Banbi was about to turn around when Wen Xi grabbed her and put the tube of plaster in her pocket.

Zhan looked at her, Wen Xi frowned apologetically and said, "Banbi, next time she bites you, you can lock her in a room with no light, preferably no sound, it's very effective, try it. Fierce dogs are always difficult to raise."

Zhan Banbi didn't speak, Wen Xi rubbed his belly, "I respect the decision of the northerners, today's votes are too ugly, even uglier than my big belly. It's unreasonable."
