Veteran

Three hours of sleep is three drops of water to quench thirst for a person who has not slept for 36 hours.

When the representative of the immigrant galaxy who felt that he had just lay down was woken up, his angry eyes seemed to declare war in the next second.Fortunately, those who can be elected as representatives have extraordinary willpower.At least the clenched fist was put back into his arms at the last moment.

They sat up, and a group of strange faces sat in the conference room and nodded to them, except for the two handsome faces who had been right for 36 hours, and the anger that had been extinguished in their chests was revived immediately.

"Where's Admiral Cheng? Where's Cao Yu?"

Maybe they couldn't control their own volume, or maybe their hearing was weakened by sleepiness, the roar of the representatives was earth-shattering, and the new "temporary workers" who came to the negotiation were stunned.

These "temporary workers" are elites dispatched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Legislative Assembly. They arrived in a hurry and did not know what happened before.At this moment, everyone looked at them dumbfounded, as if foreseeing the next bloodbath.

While roaring, the representatives cheered inwardly: Great!That's it, find a reason to go back to sleep!

Seeing that their feet had already reached the edge of the door, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Cheng Xiu and Cao Yu sat in one after the other, with high spirits, and they did not forget to say hello to them when they passed by: "Sleep well! huh? You look really in high spirits."

The representatives looked at them stupidly, as if they wanted to find traces of disguise on their faces.

Cheng Xiu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I took a hot bath and made a mask, it took me a while."

Seeing that they were still standing there motionless, Cao Huang asked them to sit down.

If they had some rationality in their heads when they first woke up, now they have been beaten to nothing.

The gap between people seems to be "one mile", but it is actually "one mile", which is really desperate.

Seeing the depressed expressions of the representatives, Cao Yu and Cheng Xiu looked at each other and smiled.

Cao Yu leaned close to Cheng Xiu's ear and whispered, "The health cabin is a good place to sleep."

Cheng Xiu said: "Now we can go back and sleep again."

"It sounds really great," Cao Yu said.

"It's better done."

"...I really hope it will be half a year in the blink of an eye."

Cheng Xiu: "..."

The addition of "temporary workers" has slowed down the negotiation process.

Although Cao Yu had expected it, the degree of entanglement between the two parties was beyond estimate. "Temporary workers" not only refused to budge on the next issue, but also overturned some of the terms that had been set before.

The immigrant galaxy delegation was originally full of gunpowder due to lack of sleep. Now that they saw Mars, how could they not explode, and they immediately quarreled.

Cheng Xiu patted the table, but no one paid attention, so he lifted up the chair and smashed it hard.

The loud sound was like a pause button, freezing time, the chair bounced off the table and fell to the side.

Cheng Xiu took down the chair, lowered her head and touched the tabletop, and praised: "The quality is good, without leaving any scratches."

Cao Yu said, "Have some afternoon tea, and we'll talk later."

Negotiations have reached a bottleneck, and it will be futile to continue the talks. We really need to change our mood.

Cao Huang asked people to prepare snacks, called the "temporary workers" himself, and ran to the small office next door for a meeting.

The office was quite spacious for two people, but it seemed crowded when all the hula-la came in at once, and the last two almost had their backs stuck to the door panel.But in such a small space, with so many people, they didn't make much noise.The only sound of breathing also restrained each other, it was inaudible.

The current Cao Yu is just Cao Yu, who has no prestige at all, so he can only use Cheng Xiu's power to pretend to be a tiger.So it's still necessary for Cheng Xiu to speak first and set the tone so that he can follow along.

Cheng Xiu said: "Before the meeting, the time is too short. Everyone seems to have not fully understood what I said. I don't mind repeating it. I hope there will be no more accidents this time. I mean, I, my, meaning, thought , only my meaning."

The members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately quit: "Your existence is a great encouragement to us and a great pressure on our opponents. This is very important and the most important. You can leave the rest to us."

People from the Ministry of Commerce also said: "Many of their conditions are whimsical and completely unacceptable. What is the establishment of a duty-free port? What good is it for us if the government has to bear all their initial construction investment? This is absolutely unacceptable. agree!"

The speeches of the two people were like two bricks, which caused other people to complain endlessly.

After they finished speaking, Cheng Xiu said lazily, "Do you think it's unfair?"

"Very unfair."

"Too harsh!"

"Simply brazen."

Cheng Xiu said: "So, when they pay the same heavy taxes as non-immigrant stars, but do not enjoy the same voting rights, who noticed the 'unfair' 'harsh' and 'brazen'?"

After a brief and embarrassing silence, someone immediately said: "Reform is a steady change. It is difficult to change the inequality accumulated over the years. I think we should start with the most basic issues now. Investment, taxation, etc. It's too fine."

"Yes, we can start with voting rights. For example, ten people enjoy one vote..."

Cheng Xiu asked: "Then can they only pay one-tenth of the tax?"

"..."

This small meeting turned into a tug of war again.Without going to the representatives of the immigrant galaxy, there were serious differences among them.

Cheng Xiu regretted letting them participate.

A member of the foreign ministry saw his annoyance and said, "It's useless for us to agree. In the end, all the articles have to be voted by the Legislative Assembly. Failure to pass any article may make this negotiation futile."

Thinking of this, the wave of opposition from the crowd is not as firm as before.

Cheng Xiu knew that the negotiation would not go so smoothly, but he didn't expect that there would be another trick.No wonder everyone from the Acting President to the State Council to the Legislative Council felt relieved to entrust this task to themselves, as they did not have the final decision-making power.

He felt so useless.

Cao Yu, on the other hand, knew this a long time ago.

Reform is a difficult thing, because it requires not only reform, but also reform.From the very beginning, he didn't intend to let the problem of emigrating to the galaxy be solved once in this opportunity.He can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, he is not so idealized yet.For this negotiation, he has three purposes.One is to ease the conflict between the government and the immigrant galaxy, and narrow down the enemies to Defora and the new Maha galaxy.The second is to improve Cheng Xiu's reputation.Lin Ying's record is too far away, he must create new political achievements to accumulate political capital.For example, during the presidential election, candidates will reduce personal income taxes in order to win the middle class, and reduce corporate taxes in order to win over the rich.Cheng Xiu's two speeches and one negotiation were extremely risky actions, but they were rewarding. At least the immigrant stars had a good impression of him.The third is to lay the foundation for the future reform of the immigrant galaxy.

However, these goals all have a major premise-negotiations must not be aborted.

Cao Huang said: "We must appease them and let them see hope, so as to avoid greater conflicts. As you said just now, we are not the last barrier, and the Legislative Assembly is behind us. Therefore, Why not let us be lenient and make a good impression on them. I think everyone should understand the technique of sugar and sticks."
