The Memory Lost in Space - 21. Chapter 21 Selection (2)

The vote of the seven dukes

“Oh my God! I don’t want to refuse you.” Feng Lin struggled for a long time and said viciously, “Remember, don’t make me regret today’s decision! Otherwise…I will never let you go!”

“Never make you regret it!” Lorrain raised his hand and swore.

Feng Lin pondered for a while and said, “There is only one way to succeed. I have the right to convene an internal meeting once a year, and it is up to everyone to vote. With my own vote, I should be able to persuade Chu Mo to get his vote and I will I beg Chu Mo to help persuade Ziyan and Bailichang, but it is not guaranteed to succeed. However, if you can persuade Cinsha, we must have three votes. Only one vote can be successful, and there is still a big deal. Chance.”

She glanced at the time and walked out in a hurry: “In two hours, we will see you in Conference Room No. 1 of the Sparta Palace.”

In the empty corridor, Lorraine sat cross-legged on the floor outside the meeting room, staring blankly at the opposite wall.

After thinking about it for a long time, she lowered her head, crackled words, and sent a message to Qian Xu.

“I like to relax when cooking, and prefer the pleasure of enjoying food, but I don’t know how to be a chef. I want to be a gene repairer who can cure genetic diseases.”

“I came to Alicata alone. I have no parents or relatives, no personal connections, no wealth and status. Only my profession, that is, my future ability, can make me valuable to the people around me and let me be in this society. I’m not saying that there’s no value in being a chef, but I need that kind of more powerful value. After all, everyone eats without a chef, but without a doctor, I’m afraid everyone will not be able to stand it.”

“For well-known reasons, an excellent gene repairer is of great significance to the Federation of Odin. Even if I leave Odin one day, I will be a welcome talent in any star country. Don’t worry about being hungry.”

“Wealth, status, respect, security, interpersonal relationships… come from the crowd, but also affect the crowd. For me who has nothing, I have the abilities that are indispensable to others in order to get what I want in a society composed of this group of people. everything!”

“You encourage me to get to know myself, discover my own preferences, and choose a career. Unfortunately, I am sorry that this decision is a very realistic and utilitarian decision, and has nothing to do with personal preferences.”

Lorraine sent five messages to Qian Xu in one breath, her face pale, her hands clasped tightly.

Compared with Feng Lin and the others, who are compassionate and passionate about scientific research, Lorraine feels that he is abominable.

Qian Xu might not be able to accept such a utilitarian friend, especially he was still a patient with a genetic disease. Perhaps this was the last time they had contacted.

She can choose not to tell Qian Xu or explain to him, but this is her true face, and she is unwilling to gain his friendship by deception.

Lorraine waited for a long time, but did not wait for Qian Xu’s reply.

She smiled bitterly, her heart twitched, and every choice in life was to gain some and lose some.

In the face of reality, she chose the one that was most needed.

Lorrain cheered up, thought about the wording, and sent a message to Cinsha: “I really want to work in the research institute. Please look at our legal relationship and help me. In the future, if there is anything I can return, I will definitely I won’t hesitate.”

A person like Cinnabar can’t be moved by begging or lobbying, there is only so much she can do.

Feng Lin, Cinnabar, Zi Yan, Chu Mo, Zuo Qiu Bai, Bai Li Cang, and Zang Li appeared at the end of the corridor and walked towards the meeting room.

Lorraine stood up.

Cinsha ignored her and walked directly into the conference room.

The others followed Cinnabar and walked in.

Zi Yan stopped in front of her, looking at her from head to toe as if he didn’t know her.

Lorraine looked down at the ground and said nothing.

Zi Yan smiled and said, “You always…” What is always, but he didn’t say any more.

“come in.”

Lorraine followed Zi Yan, the last one walked into the meeting room, and the door slowly closed behind her.

After the meeting started, everyone’s personal terminals would be blocked. Luo Lan glanced at the personal terminal, Qian Xu still did not reply to her, and Cinsha did not give her any answer.

In the spacious conference room, Lorraine sat alone in the middle.

A huge fan-shaped long table with seven dukes sitting on positions displaying the flags of each autonomous region represents that they have the right to vote for or veto in the name of the seven autonomous regions.

Duke Cinnabar of the first district, the commander-in-chief of the federal army.

The Duke of the second district closed the forest, the director of the research and education department.

Zuo Qiubai, Duke of the Third District, is a judge of the Federal Supreme Court.

Chu Mo, Duke of District 4, Director of the Medical and Health Department.

Baili Cang, Duke of District 5, Minister of Energy and Transportation.

Duke Ziyan of District 6, Minister of Information Security Department.

Duke Zongli of District Seven, Minister of Public Security.

Feng Lin clicked on the screen in front of him and began to explain the reason for calling the meeting: “Ince Lorraine, the wife of the Duke of Cinnabar, applied to the Alikata Institute for Life Research to join the study of mutant gene mutations. I am the second The Duke of the District, the Dean of the Alicata Life Institute, summoned everyone to vote for a decision. The relevant documents have been sent to your workbench, please refer to it.”

Zongli’s gloomy and cold voice sounded: “How can such an important research be allowed by outsiders to join?”

Feng Lin asked indifferently: “Judge, is the applicant a federal citizen of Odin?”

Zuo Qiubai said: “The applicant is a citizen of the Odin Federation.”

Zhuangli said coldly: “She is the princess of the imperial imperial family, and the Al Empire is written in her genes.”

Feng Lin snorted coldly: “I don’t want to have a meaningless debate with you, you have the right to vote veto.”

Zhuangli said unceremoniously: “Don’t worry, I won’t forget!”

Chu Mo clicked on the front screen below: “The applicant has no relevant knowledge and no research experience, how can I conduct research?”

Feng Lin looked at Lorrain encouragingly and motioned for her to answer.

Lorraine stood up: “I will start from the bottom assistant, studying and working at the same time.”

Chu Mo said: “Scientific research requires a high degree of concentration and investment. Are you sure this is a job you like?”

“Sure.”

“Thank you for your answer, I have no more questions.”

Lorraine bowed to Chu Mo and sat back down.

Feng Lin asked, “Are there any questions?”

No one speaks.

Feng Lin said: “Then we will vote by secret ballot, and the brain will count the results.”

Lorrain clasped her hands and looked down at the personal terminal on her wrist.

Perhaps, when she walked out the door of this conference room later, she would find that she had neither got a job nor her only friend.

Two minutes later, the intellectual brain monitoring the meeting asked: “The voting result has come out, do you want to announce it?”

Feng Lin said: “Announced.”

“Three votes agree.”

Luo Lan raised her head sadly, Feng Lin was disappointed, and Zong Li sneered, standing up and wanted to leave.

“Three votes against.”

Lorraine was stunned.

“One abstention.”

Zongli frowned and sat back again.

Feng Lin tentatively proposed: “Vote again?”

Zongli said coldly, “Judge, is there a way to vote again?”

Zuo Qiubai said: “In this case, the application can only be invalidated. If there is no major change within three years, no further application can be made.”

Zhanli stood up and walked out. Bai Li Cang got up and followed Zhan Li. Chu Mo smiled apologetically to Feng Lin and stood up.

Cinsha suddenly said, “There is one other person who did not vote.”

Everyone looked at cinnabar.

“The consul also has one vote.”

Baili Cangha sang a song: “I hope there is no electromagnetic interference in the place where his old man is now.”

Feng Lin immediately told Zhi Nao: “Contact the consul.”

Zhinao’s dial tone sounded in the empty conference room: “Didi, didi…”

Luolan waited with bated breath, feeling every sound like a beating on the heart.

After a long wait, the beep disappeared.

There was a lot of black paint on the virtual screen, there was no image, and there was no sound. Everyone thought that when it was not connected, a clicking sound came.

Feng Lin hurriedly said: “Consultant, the signal is very poor, where are you?”

“…The beast…in the belly, the terminal…corrosion…wait…”

There were screams of wild beasts and all kinds of weird sounds, and after a while, the signal became clearer.

“I’m leaning on a dagger, hanging from its stomach wall, it’s running violently, just say something.”

Feng Lin immediately said: “Cinsha’s wife applied to join my research institute to participate in the study of sudden changes. We now have three votes in favor, three votes against, and one abstention. You need your vote.”

“Cinsha, are you for or against?”

Luolan raised her eyes to look at Cinnabar, but she didn’t expect that Cinnabar would also look at her, her eyes met, making Luolan nervous.

“Consultant, voting anonymously!” Feng Lin was stomping his feet with anger.

Cinnabar retracted her gaze and said to the dark screen: “I agree.”

The consul said: “Yes.”

The signal is cut off.

Everyone was silent.

Ten seconds later, Zhinao’s voice sounded: “Confirmed that the new vote has been received, may I announce the result of the vote?”

“Announce!”

“Four votes in favor, three votes against, and one abstention.”

Feng Lin smiled triumphantly: “Judge, can the application take effect?”

“Effective.”

Wisdom Brain announced: “Approval of the applicant, Ince Lorraine, to join the Alicata Institute of Life Sciences, effective immediately.”

The door of the meeting room opened.

Everyone walked out of the meeting room one after another.

When Feng Lin passed by Luolan, he blinked and said ambiguously: “Reward Cinnabar.”

Cinnabar fell on the last one, and when he walked to Luolan’s side, he stopped.

Lorraine said, “Thank you.”

“No, I just respect Feng Lin’s choice. She is the commander of the project. Since she picked you, there must be her reason. But…” Cinsha paused, her eyes falling on Lorraine’s face like a knife. , “If one day, you do something to betray the Odin Federation, I will kill you myself.”

“I won’t let you have this opportunity.”

Cinnabar looked away and strode out of the meeting room.

Lorraine stood alone in the empty conference room.

Several months have passed since the day she set foot on the Odin Federation, and she finally took her first step.

From the time when no one was willing to talk to her at the banquet to the vote passed today, it was considered a success, but there was not the slightest sense of excitement and joy.

Lorrain raised her wrist. There was no expectation, but found that there was new information on the personal terminal, two of them were sent by Qian Xu.

“I said that it takes some time to understand myself. This understanding not only refers to what I like, but also includes what I need and want. People who can do whatever they want and do whatever they want are worthy of admiration, but they are actually utilitarian. There is nothing wrong with choosing the person you need.”

“Be happy for you, know what you need; be more proud of you, and work hard for what you need.”

Lorraine smiled with tears in her eyes.
