Chapter 439 Deep Virtual Reality 267
"Professor Xie, the clothes have been ironed."
Zhou Qin put the folded clothes and matching accessories into the dressing room, and then reported the upcoming itinerary to Xie Ning.
"...You have a tea party at 3 pm this afternoon and a two-hour video conference at 8 pm tonight. The other party wants to schedule the appointment at Yalein Science and Technology Park for 8 am tomorrow, but you said the day before yesterday that you needed to free up your time tomorrow morning. Do you need to change the appointment time?"
Xie Ning buttoned his cufflinks and said to Zhou Qin through the hazy frosted glass, "Well, I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I'll reschedule Yalaiyin's matter for the afternoon."
"Okay, I'll contact them."
Yalein Science and Technology Park is a research team specializing in outer space colonization projects, and it radiates outwards to various science and technology experimental bases, drawing talent from them.
The people gathered in Yalein are the world's top talents, such as Professor Yun Jing, Professor Sidane, and the former Professor Lillian, who all hold positions there, but are in charge of different projects.
Xie Ning was also invited to join the kinetic energy project.
However, before that, she had to attend a parliamentary session, which is held twice a year. Today's session was the autumn session, the second one.
She missed it the first time, after all, this seat was still relatively new.
The massive Federal Parliament building is 472 meters long from north to south, 391 meters wide from east to west, and 101 meters high, covering an area of 300,000 square meters and a building area of 184,600 square meters.
It is not tall, but rather like a bright pearl quietly adorning the lake. It may not have the imposing presence of towering peaks, but its existence exudes a tranquil and mysterious aura.
The surrounding neon lights shone on it, refracting a colorful glow. A gentle breeze stirred up ripples, like a soft murmur.
The pearl of the Federation, the pearl in the hearts of the people of the Federation, this pearl set on the lake, radiating eternal light, does its light shine upon the people?
Xie Ning didn't know, but she believed that one day, the light of the pearl would shine on everyone like the sun, and there would be no more clouds obscuring the sunlight.
Members of parliament are also ranked. Xie Ning, representing Huarui Technology Company, attended the parliament with two other members of parliament. His status was not low, so he was able to sit in the front row.
Ordinary members of parliament can only sit in the outermost seats of the gallery.
Before entering the parliament, the three of them had already discussed and agreed on the proposals they would present, all of which were beneficial to Huarui Technology Company. Moreover, these proposals had been approved through a series of procedures.
It's just a matter of bringing it up in front of the entire federal population.
Xie Ning's gaze fell on the small camera floating in the air. The parliament was being broadcast live in its entirety—a grand and magnificent meeting, a grand and absurd drama.
Everyone in the audience was an actor, reciting pre-arranged lines and proposing various proposals that seemed to benefit the citizens.
Outside the mirror, the audience is numb yet eager, anticipating the beauty in the words. Inside the mirror, the actors are passionate and their faces are so vivid, but their eyes are like still water, yet they carry a hint of mockery, waiting for the already predetermined ending to come.
It took a long time before the most peripheral member of parliament finally got to present his proposal.
The legislator read the already revised proposal with a blank expression. The further you go and the higher you climb, the more you realize that life is often beyond your control.
Before entering the company, he was a young man full of expectations. After his proposals were rejected time and time again, he gradually began to write formulaic sentences: he could not criticize injustice, he had to serve the chaebols, and for this he would give up the greatest benefits, and perhaps in the end he could gain the pity of those in power.
The middle-aged congressman with half-gray hair finished speaking, his gaze falling on the congressmen in front of him, a slight tremor running through him. He was powerless, without any foundation or background, and could only place his hopes on his colleagues who had a foundation, a background, and shared the same aspirations as him.
Humans possess thoughts; they are not fixed programs. Just as a white lotus blooms from the mud unsullied, there are always people who mend and patch up a broken world.
