The meeting was held in the Capitol as scheduled. The conference room on the fifth floor was similar to a "beehive". Thousands of senators and politicians from various continents sat in their pre-arranged seats. In the center of the room was a 3D screen, displaying all kinds of graphics and data for reference.
Ding Meng was arranged to sit near the entrance of Area B. This position showed that his role here was dispensable. Besides, he had no interest in this kind of meeting. Most of the time, some politicians volunteered to walk up to the podium and give various eloquent speeches. The scene looked lively, but it was actually boring.
Ding Meng scanned the room and did not see any important people in the room today. First of all, Chancellor Wen Yang was not here. Second of all, Ross and the other big shots were not here either. Instead, there was only Transit String sitting alone in the front row.
She just sat there quietly, watching the senators go up to the podium to give their speeches. She did not make any slight movements, nor did she show any changes in her expression. This person was like a statue.
However, Ding Meng could tell that Transit String had come all the way to the Empire. She must have heard the news in advance. She knew that the Empire was going to open up foreign trade this time. The Starbow Group would not give up this great opportunity.
In fact, many people had made such an assumption. If the large financial groups of the Federal Empire worked together, it would not be a problem for them to create at least one or two projects of extraordinary scale, even if they did not cause much of a stir.
Transit String was sitting here today. It was obvious that she was waiting for the results of the meeting. She wanted to discuss cooperation with the people of the Empire. And the people who could discuss cooperation with her were definitely not ordinary people.
This boring meeting went on for an entire day. At six o'clock in the evening, the central screen showed the results of all the votes. 782 votes in favor, 356 votes in abstention, and 98 votes against. The law was basically passed. When the time came, it would officially take effect after Chancellor Wen Yang signed it.
Seeing this result, Transit String got up and walked out of the room without saying anything.
Once she left, Ding Meng would definitely not stay put. He would follow her quietly.
As expected, the Transit String led her back to the Water Family Hotel. This time, she chose to dine in the restaurant on the second floor. At the moment, there were not many customers in the restaurant. Only a few tables were occupied. However, when Ding Meng came in, she noticed something was wrong. These people were definitely important. The reason was very simple. Roger was still here, but today, he did not have those women around him.
Ding Meng continued to walk towards the window. Lan Bing had been waiting for him here for an entire day.
As soon as he sat down, he received a telepathic message from Lan Bing, "These four tables are occupied by representatives from the Apocalypse, Beidou, Fengyin, and Blue Star Families. They're all waiting for the results of the meeting and the Transit String."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "These large consortiums are really well-informed. They probably already knew about the results."
Lan Bing explained, "Sister Yan and the others have already investigated. This Blue Star Group emerged in the past two years. They have the shadow of a big shot in the military behind them."
Ding Meng said, "Obviously, Roger is the representative."
Lan Bing said, "But no one from Chuang Yu came."
Ding Meng said, "Guan Xinqing has never liked to deal with other consortiums."
Lan Bing said, "But aren't we the representatives of Chuang Yu?"
Ding Meng laughed and said, "Even if we are the representatives, we can't make decisions for Chuang Yu."
…
While the two of them were secretly communicating, a young man in a suit had already walked to the Transit String's table elegantly. "Hello, Mr. Ling. I'm Luo Anxu, the assistant of the executive vice president of Apocalypse Group. You can call me Luo …"
His demeanor and attitude could be said to be very polite. However, the one who answered him was Jin Xiaoyan. "Hello, Assistant Luo. I'm Jin Xiaoyan, Mr. Ling's secretary. I'm very happy to meet you. You can call me Xiaoyan."
Jin Xiaoyan was actually very sweet. Her blonde wavy hair coupled with her professional attire made her look quite charming. However, she had been with the Transit String for a long time and was completely overshadowed by the Transit String's sharpness.
However, at this moment, she was sincere and generous, which made her look particularly outstanding. This young man named Luo Anxu actually blushed a little, especially when she took the initiative to reach out to him. When he held her hand, he immediately felt that his hand was filled with a soft and warm jade. For a moment, his heart was in turmoil and his face was flushed red.
Ding Meng couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that Apocalypse Group has already failed halfway."
Lan Bing said, "He's still too young."
Ding Meng smiled and said, "That's not the reason. The dignified CEO came to the Empire, but Apocalypse Group sent an assistant of the executive vice president to negotiate. Jin Xiaoyan is still answering him. It's completely out of courtesy."
Sure enough, the second person who walked to the Transit String's booth was different. Although this person was also a young man and couldn't be said to be elegant, he went straight to the point. "Hello, Secretary Jin. My name is Zhong Lifeng. I'm the representative of the Fengyin Group. I believe that our two families will have a consensus on the development of the rainforest series."
This Zhong Lifeng was obviously much smarter than Luo Anxu. He knew that the Transit String had come to the Empire with great difficulty, so he wouldn't waste time and energy on the ways of the world. He was here for the cooperation. To put it bluntly, businessmen all valued benefits. Benefits were the way of the king.
Sure enough, the Transit String raised his head slightly and revealed a smile. "Secretary Zhong, please take a seat!"
Zhong Lifeng was overjoyed and immediately sat down on the side of the booth. However, Jin Xiaoyan was still discussing the specific matters with the two of them.
The third person came quickly. This time, it was a beautiful woman. She also had long hair and was dressed like an office lady. She said with a sweet smile, "CEO Ling, I'm Xiao Qian from the Beidou Group's headquarters. As Ji Zong hasn't returned to the capital for the time being, he specially asked me to come and receive you. Our group has admired your name for a long time. I hope that you can stay for a few more days. Ji Zong wants to visit you personally when he comes back."
She wasn't very good herself, but Ji Chenxue's name was like thunder to her ears. She even said that she wanted to visit the Transit String personally. This was not a disrespect, but a great respect.
The Transit String finally revealed a charming smile. "Thank you, Miss Xiao. Please take a seat!"
As soon as Xiao Qian sat down, Roger, who was in the distance, couldn't stay still. He also walked over with a smile on his face. "CEO Ling, Secretary Jin, nice to meet you. I'm Roger."
He didn't care about the Transit String's reaction and sat down directly. The other three families were a little puzzled. "You're really something. They didn't ask you to sit, but you took the initiative to sit. You're really thick-skinned."
On the other hand, Ding Meng was secretly amused. It was clearly Ling Xingxian who had come to seek cooperation, but in the end, it was the other way around. It felt like Ling Xingxian was the one who was in high demand, and everyone wanted to fight for him.
However, Ding Meng also admired this. The Transit String had this kind of aura and ability.
"Which family do you think Xinghong will choose?" Lan Bing asked.
Ding Meng smiled. "This must be the initial contact. The Transit String can't make a decision on such an occasion. These four families are all influential."
His judgment was completely correct. The Transit String had done its homework before coming. The Apocalypse Group was the largest financial group in the Empire, and the daughter of the CEO was the wife of the current head of state. No one dared to underestimate this. However, only sending a deputy CEO's assistant was a little disrespectful.
Although the Fengyin Group was ranked fourth, its channels of information were very extensive, and it was also an existence that couldn't be underestimated. However, as the old saying went, if the CEO didn't show up personally, it would seem that his sincerity wasn't enough.
The Beidou Group was needless to say. Ji Chenxue's reputation as Goddess Ji Zong was too well-known. Moreover, Xiao Qian had explained very clearly that Ji Zong wasn't back yet. Once he was back, he would definitely meet with you.
The Blue Star Group represented by Roger was the weakest among the four families in terms of financial resources. However, the person behind them was a general of the Empire. This was the real reason why they were so confident. They didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries.
In fact, the Transit String wanted to meet with Chuangyu the most. She had done her research on Chuang Yu before coming here. Unfortunately, she couldn't find any connections with Guan Xinqing, so she had no choice but to come to the capital of Planet Nuoxing first.
"The Transit String will definitely meet with the Blue Star first!" Ding Meng suddenly came to a conclusion.
Lan Bing was stunned. "Why?"
Ding Meng said, "It's very simple. Based on the current situation, the Blue Star Group is the first to meet with the person in charge."
Ding Meng's predictions were rarely wrong. After some discussion, Roger spoke up decisively. "CEO Ling, my father is now in the capital city. He has been admiring you for a long time. If it's convenient for you, you can come over tonight. Let us play host to you. What do you think?"
At the end of the day, this was the most practical thing. So what if he was famous and powerful?
If he really wanted to cooperate, he had to show his sincerity. Only by gathering the people in charge together could a chemical reaction be formed.
The restaurant was soon empty. The Transit String left with Roger. It was only when the flying cars of various sizes had taken off that Ding Meng said, "Wife, you should go with Sister Yan and Sister Yan.
Go and meet up with Sister Yan and the others. Miss Dai and Sister Xia don't have to stay on planet TT12 anymore. Everyone can come to the capital. Also, you can send Yuan Sheng away … "
Lan Bing knew that Ding Meng was preparing to act alone. She wanted to spend more time with Ding Meng, but from what she had seen and heard along the way, she understood that there were many experts in the Empire. If she didn't want to be exposed early, it was best for her to act in secret. Only Ding Meng was the best at disguising himself. No one else could learn this.
"Be careful!" Lan Bing said with concern.
Ding Meng nodded with a smile. "Don't worry. After all, there are only a few people who can really threaten me."
Since he came into contact with the origin of the vortex in the Land of Entropy, Ding Meng's confidence had greatly increased. It could be said that if he did not encounter a large number of strong enemies, almost no one could compete with him in a one-on-one fight. Of course, this was based on the people who had come into contact with him.
Seeing Roger and the others leave, Ding Meng was not in a hurry to chase after them because he discovered an interesting phenomenon. Luo Anxu and Zhong Lifeng were standing together at the parking lot and discussing something. Xiao Qian, on the other hand, looked at them with some disdain before getting into the flying car and rising into the sky.
Ding Meng sensed carefully and could not help laughing. He was worried that he could not find the Luo Family. Now, these two hotheads were the best guides.
