Chapter 417 Deep Virtual Reality 245

"Director Xie, no, I should say Professor Xie."

Although he was just an ordinary professor, Xie Ning's achievement of this title at such a young age was already beyond the reach of most people.

Professor Sidney looked at Xie Ning with a smile. Xie Ning was one of his subordinates, and the research on A-01 was also within his purview. Naturally, he would also share in the profits generated by this.

Xie Ning was even willing to hand over her own interests to him, not just A-01, but a whole series. In other words, any benefits that belonged to Xie Ning, including the subsequent research results of the A-01 series, would belong to Xidean.

Sidane was initially shocked when he talked to Sheining, but the temptation was too great for him to resist.

With such enormous benefits, all Xie Ning wanted was the qualification for a seat in parliament.

Sidane wasn't very interested in a seat. After all, in his view, becoming a member of parliament was just a way to show off one's status, without much real benefit. Moreover, many of them were puppets chosen by various factions, representing the forces behind them.

Hua Rui was the same way, so he couldn't quite understand why Xie Ning would give up such great benefits just to become a member of parliament.

Professor Sidane, puzzled, asked the question as well.

"As you know, I am an orphan." Xie Ning stood straight, her eyes firm and bright, but a shy smile played on her lips.

"I just want an opportunity to participate in the government's decision-making process regarding the protection of orphans. In addition, I will do my best to ensure that children without parents can receive more additional assistance!"

"I see."

Professor Sidney looked at Xie Ning's youthful and energetic face and thought to himself that he was indeed a young man who had not been tempered by society for a long time and had not been deeply influenced by the extravagant life of high society. He still maintained a passionate and innocent mind.

Although it is unknown whether Xie Ning will eventually assimilate into the majority of people like him in this world, at this moment, Xie Ning's determination moved Professor Sidane.

However, it was merely a fleeting emotion; the world is a giant vortex of interests from which no one can escape.

What makes Xie Ning better than other people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds is that she has both morality and ability, unlike those who have a strong sense of morality but lack ability and are simply products of societal discipline.

Some people follow the rules, while others make the rules.

One is inside the cage, and the other is outside the cage.

Despite admiring his subordinate, Sidane still subtly mentioned, "Life as a congressman may not be what you imagine. Your ideals are worthy of respect, but real proposals need to be decided by the company's senior management."

Xie Ning feigned surprise at just the right moment, then nodded solemnly, "I understand, thank you, Professor Sidane."

As Xie Ning walked out of the office, her expression returned to normal.

How could she not know the "rules" Professor Sidane mentioned? These councilors were merely pawns placed in the open, representing others, without any real decision-making power.

But all she wanted was a title, just like the forces behind the scenes. Why would they put forward certain people as their representatives? Of course, it's to attract public attention.

Leaving aside transactions at the higher levels, the most basic unit is people. Only with people can there be circulation and the generation of profits, so they need a good reputation and image.

A wise person will make real exploitation and oppression invisible.

Although her goals differ from those of those forces, she also needs to attract public attention and establish a good reputation and image.

Lacking any background, she made herself her biggest asset; lacking public support, she gradually won over public opinion.

A boat cannot move without water, and if water enters the boat, it will sink; a ruler cannot govern without the people, and if the people rebel against him, the state will collapse.

She has always tried to do both things well, and both things must be done well. Although the people may support her, if her economic foundation is weak, she will find it difficult to succeed.

Like rebels, they actually have popular support, but they started from too low a point and prematurely revealed their true intentions without a solid economic foundation. With just a little guidance from above, most ordinary people in society categorize them as terrorist organizations.

Now they can't grasp either side, making things difficult.

Although she might not be as strong as the rebels at present, the methods they used were different from the beginning. Once Xie Ning made her decision, her reach gradually extended to various fields.
