top edge

The vertical distance of 3000 meters does not take a few minutes.

The aircraft passed through the access passage leading to the top floor and arrived near Miller's private house.Except for the ground floor, there are countless entrances and exits like this on each floor, but most of them are built at transportation hubs, and only privileged people can have private passages near their homes.

After flying over a large lawn, the garage door of the villa in front opened, and the aircraft flew directly into the villa.

Shen Siwei remembered that when he came to Miller's private house last time, there were many servants carrying oxygen cylinders.

This is because Miller's house is not a public place, and will not increase the oxygen concentration in the air specifically for the servants at home.

But this time Wei Shen found that the oxygen concentration in Miller's house had reached a normal level, and because of this, none of the passing servants carried oxygen cylinders, which was obviously to be wary of Wei Shen.

Not long after, Captain Shen Si was brought to Miller's office.

The huge round table occupied the center of the office. Miller sat down at the end facing the door, and then said to Wei Shen, "Sit whatever you want, Captain Shen."

It is natural not to be too far away when discussing things.Shen Siwei consciously sat next to Miller, but what he didn't expect was that the moment he sat down, the room went dark, and three-dimensional projections of seven or eight people appeared in other positions.

"The meeting continues." Miller said to those projections.

It seems that when he received the coordinates sent by Amor, Miller was having a meeting with these high-level officials to discuss the agreement.

These high-level people are all Mages, including organization officers, press officers, secretaries, etc. It is this group of people who determine the future of the tree of life.

"The results of the survey just came out," someone said, looking at the tablet in his hand. "73% of civilians believe that the agreement exists."

"It won't be long before it becomes 100%." ​​Miller said coldly, "How did things ferment so quickly this time?"

"Because when the news came out from the refugees, the officials had refuted the rumor that this agreement did not exist. As a result, Nightingale immediately showed the photo of the signing of the agreement, and the public opinion immediately reversed."

"So as a press officer, shouldn't I go to refute rumors?"

"Maybe before you refute the rumor, you can discuss it with everyone."

"There have been so many messy rumors in the tree of life, even if we discussed with you, wouldn't the result be to refute the rumors?"

"It's fine if you don't refute the rumors. If you don't care about it, maybe things won't ferment at all."

"Okay!" Miller interrupted a few people impatiently, "Now is not the time to quarrel."

Shen Siwei always sat on the side like an outsider. He couldn't help admiring Lai Zhe for coming up with such a way to ferment public opinion by slapping his face.Most of the civilians should know by now that the Margots had signed an equality agreement with the civilians.

"I remember that in the previous public opinion survey, more than 90% of the common people were satisfied with the leadership of the Margots." Miller said, "So this time the incident is so big, the common people's dissatisfaction is not equality or not, but our deception. "

"That is to say," someone answered, "if we openly admit it at the beginning, maybe the common people won't have such a big reaction."

"That's right," Miller said. "So what we urgently need to solve now is not the issue of inequality, but the elimination of civilian discontent. Do you have any ideas?"

"How about issuing an apology statement? Just say that some staff in the Ministry of Information are not aware of this matter."

"What staff, are you trying to push me to take the blame?"

"Then someone has to come forward to take responsibility, otherwise, would it be so easy to eliminate public grievances?"

Miller patted the table impatiently, and the arguing people immediately fell silent.

"There is one person who is suitable to come out and make a statement." When Miller said this, he looked at Lieutenant Shen Si beside him and asked, "Captain Shen, what is your intention?"

Shen Siwei frowned imperceptibly: "Me?"

Someone asked aloud, "Who is this?"

"Son of Chief Engineer Shen, civilian representative."

"So that's how it is." The press officer who was caught in the fire was obviously relieved, "He is indeed more suitable."

Shen Siwei didn't understand politics, but after hearing about it now, he realized that it was just a game.

Miller really has a good plan. First of all, Wei Shen’s mother is the designer of the energy station and the person who signed the agreement on behalf of the common people. If one has to be elected as a representative among the common people, a politician is naturally inappropriate, like Shen Si People like Wei's mother are the best candidates.

But Shen Siwei's mother had died of illness, and this representative fell on Shen Siwei.

If Wei Shen can stand up to appease the civilians and express his position, then this crisis may be able to survive safely.

"General Miller," Wei Shen pursed his lips, knowing that Miller would not like what he said next, "Since you pushed me to be a representative of the common people, shouldn't I listen to the opinions of the common people?"

Miller raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, apparently not expecting Wei Shen to have other ideas.

"Do you want to make things more complicated?" He asked, "If this goes on, there may be turmoil in the tree of life."

"As long as you obey the public opinion," Shen Siwei paused, "it won't."

Miller looked at Captain Shen Si silently, and then sneered: "Captain Shen, do you really consider yourself a negotiator? Come to negotiate with us on behalf of civilians?"

"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Shen Siwei said indifferently, "Then don't expect me to issue a statement."

"Talk about it, how do we obey public opinion?" Miller said jokingly, "If the energy supply is opened up, we will encounter a new energy crisis in a short time. Do you want to see this situation?"

"Stop pretending, General Miller." Wei Shen glanced lightly at everyone present, "We all know that the deep sea energy station can still operate, but you can't get close to the deep sea, and you can't control the energy provided there."

Hearing this, Miller's face changed slightly: "How do you know this?"

"It won't be long before all the civilians will know, do you think they are still willing to live a life with electricity cut off at [-] o'clock in the evening?" Wei Shen said unhurriedly, "So maybe you should really listen to the opinions of the civilians."

"Do you think that if you release this news, the common people will believe it?" Miller asked with a frown.

"At other times, commoners may think it's a conspiracy theory." Shen Siwei said, "But don't forget, the credibility of the Margots has dropped to the bottom."

Miller stopped answering the call, and with an ugly face, he used the communicator to call the guards, and took Shen Siwei out of the office.

As early as when he left Mo Lin's villa, Shen Siwei had already exposed that he would have difficulty breathing when he moved, so the two guards were not afraid, and half-pushed him to a guest room away from the office floor.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the guest rooms are patches of lawns, and the warm-colored ambient lights emit a quiet light, making the lawns worth admiring at night.

Standing by the French window, Shen Siwei couldn't help but feel a little ironic.At this point in time, the civilians at the bottom don't even have public transportation to travel, while the Margs at the top use energy to decorate the environment.

Looking at the time, Elvis should have reached the bottom floor, and I don't know if he has joined Kleite and others.

If the negotiation goes well, Wei Shen should be able to leave soon, but...

Judging from previous experience, we still can't think of things too simply.

Just as Wei Shen was lost in thought while looking at the night scene outside the window, someone knocked on his door suddenly.

He said "Please come in", the intelligent voice-activated lift door opened automatically, and an unexpected figure walked in.

"Captain Shen, good evening."

Wearing a black silk pajamas, Adolf sat on the double sofa beside the decorative fireplace with a bottle of red wine and two goblets in his hand.

"Two glasses?" He uncorked the cork and poured an equal amount of red wine into the two glasses.

Shen Siwei stood by the window without moving: "It's so late, what can I do for you?"

"Of course." Adolf put his elbows on the back of the sofa chair, turned the goblet while looking at Shen Siwei and said, "It's very important."

For the time being, Captain Shen Si came to sit beside Adolf, but did not pick up the wine glass from the coffee table.

"First of all, thank you for finding Amor." Adolf took a sip of red wine self-consciously, "I heard that he was imprisoned by Molin, which is really unexpected."

Shen Siwei slightly frowned and said, "Is this the important thing you said?"

"Don't be so hostile to me." Adolf smiled softly, put down the wine glass in his hand, and crossed his slender legs at will, "I heard that father intends to let you take over Maureen's position."

Hearing this, Shen Siwei probably figured out the purpose of Adolf's visit, and slightly lowered his vigilance: "So you are here to be your father's lobbyist?"

If this is the case, then Wei Shen might as well have a chat with him.

"No, no, no, I don't participate in politics." Adolf shook his head. "I can decide on business matters at home, but when it comes to politics, I follow the arrangements."

Now, Shen Siwei was unavoidably a little baffled, he frowned and asked: "So you came to find me...?"

"I heard that this time we encountered a big crisis of public opinion."

"Yes." Shen Siwei said, "So if you don't want to affect your business, you'd better persuade your father."

"He won't listen to me." Adolf shrugged, showing a helpless expression, "I also heard that the press officer has already figured out a solution."

Shen Siwei immediately realized that this was the "important matter" that Adolf wanted to talk about.

He asked calmly: "What way?"

"It's very simple, to shift the focus of public opinion." Adolf clasped his fingers and rested them leisurely on his lap, "Now the common people are dissatisfied with the fact that the Mags have lied, and their focus is not on equality. So this matter is actually easy to resolve , just need to create another big event to show the sincerity of the Mag people."

"Big event?" Wei Shen frowned.

"The marriage between the Magites and the civilians." Adolf continued, "This kind of thing has never happened before, and it is enough to make big news, and it can also ease the dissatisfaction of the civilians."

Wei Shen's frown became tighter and tighter. These Mages are really good at making troubles. If such a big news breaks out, maybe the matter of the deep sea energy station will be suppressed.

"Actually, this trick works well." Adolf said and picked up the red wine glass again. "The news of the marriage has been announced, and now the public opinion has exploded."

Shen Siwei had cut off communication with the outside world, so he didn't know what was going on outside.He didn't expect that there would be such a commotion outside during the time he stayed in the room quietly.

But he suddenly thought of one thing, and a bad premonition faintly appeared in his heart.

There are quite a few civilians working here at the top of the tree of life, and many of them are willing to become the lovers of the Margots, even if they don't have a formal status.

If the Margots want to marry commoners, there will definitely be countless commoners who are willing to stand up, but most of these people are ordinary staff at the top. Can such a status really cause such a big stir?

Shen Siwei pursed his lips, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "Who is married to whom?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Adolf brought the red wine glass to his lips, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You and me."

Shen Siwei: "..." Sure enough.

Now I'm afraid that someone at the bottom is going crazy.
