After Ye Chen took his seat.
The top leader spoke first: "Ye Chen, I presume the Li family head has already informed you why this meeting is taking place?"
Ye Chen nodded and said solemnly, "I have indeed had some extraordinary encounters, and I am very grateful for the kindness shown to me by the leaders. I am also very willing to share them, but..."
He hesitated, looking quite unsure of what to say.
The top leader smiled and said, "Ye Chen, speak freely, don't hold back."
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and finally voiced his concerns: "My lords, if I may be so bold, although China has achieved remarkable success, it also faces many problems, and these problems have been brewing for years."
“I don’t believe that the leaders haven’t noticed, but no measures have been taken. I was worried that once I bring out more technology, the results of this technology might be seized by a small group of people and used to oppress ordinary people.”
"Moreover, I'm also worried that once I take it out, it will be like a cunning rabbit being killed and a hunting dog being cooked, and in the end all my efforts will benefit someone else!"
"Of course, I can also choose another path and become one of the few. To be honest, I can make the Mousse Group monopolize all fields and make it impossible for other companies to survive."
"But I don't want to become that kind of person. My goal has always been to lead humanity to the stars and the sea, not to stay on this small blue planet and rule it."
"Therefore, I have always controlled the expansion of the Mousse Group and shared more technology with various research institutions in order to promote the advancement of human technology as a whole."
Ye Chen blurted out everything on his mind in one breath. Honesty was the best policy when dealing with these five people.
He was cunning and scheming; even if he had lived two lives, he didn't think he could outwit any of these five people.
Faced with Ye Chen's spitting, which was almost tantamount to a direct accusation, the five leaders showed no anger whatsoever. Instead, they looked at Ye Chen with even greater appreciation. Ye Chen was impressed by their magnanimity alone.
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the second-in-command said seriously, "We actually understand what you're saying."
As he spoke, a hint of helplessness crossed his face. "We are currently facing a once-in-a-century transformation. The international and domestic situations are not good. Leaving aside the international situation, a stable environment domestically is crucial. Otherwise, China will fall into chaos first, let alone develop!"
The others remained silent, tacitly agreeing with the Second Leader's statement.
Ye Chen could understand that governing a large country is like cooking a small fish; it cannot be done by acting on impulse.
Although he has lived two lives and achieved great success, he is still essentially a young man with youthful spirit.
Now that I have the opportunity to speak out about some things I don't like, I feel a bit calmer.
He said these things so that China could better eliminate its deep-seated problems. Otherwise, given the current situation, if things don't change, most of the achievements will be seized by those in power and influence.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen said, "I know I have no experience in governing a country and dare not make reckless suggestions that could harm the country and its people. But from my personal perspective, I believe that if there is rotten flesh, it should be removed decisively."
The second-in-command nodded and said, "You're right. Some interest groups in the country have become like parasites clinging to our bones. Sometimes we want to take forceful action and cut the Gordian knot, but such actions will have adverse effects."
"While the heavy blows are gratifying, they are essentially still rule by man, which will inevitably lead to problems in the long run. Only by upholding the rule of law and improving various systems can we eliminate the problem at its root; otherwise, we will only fall into a vicious cycle."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen pondered for a moment and understood, and his admiration for the five leaders grew even stronger.
The leaders were not unaware of the problem, nor did they lack the desire to solve it. However, they restrained their impulse to intervene and instead resolved the issue within the framework of the law, ensuring that there was a legal basis for action and that power did not supersede the law.
Despite holding a high position, Ye Chen knew he couldn't control his personal desires.
The fifth leader continued, "Although we have been digging out the rotten flesh all these years, the progress has been a bit slow. We now emphasize acting in accordance with the law. If there is no legal authorization, we cannot do it. So even if we know that those people are parasites, we cannot take action without evidence. Otherwise, it would be the biggest destruction to our efforts to build a society ruled by law."
Ye Chen's heart stirred, and he looked at Chief No. 5 and asked, "Chief, if you have evidence, how determined are you?"
The Fifth Leader's expression turned serious, and he said sternly, "If I had evidence, I would have wiped them all out long ago!"
Ye Chen said, "I might be able to offer some assistance in gathering evidence."
"Ye Chen, do you have evidence?" Chief No. 5 was slightly taken aback and looked at Ye Chen.
"No, but we can collect them quickly."
Ye Chen shook his head, stood up and said, "I've made some preparations in advance and brought some plans. I'd like to show them to the leaders first."
As he spoke, he walked to the large screen on the side of the conference hall and said to the air, "Zhizi, come out and say hello to the leaders."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen lit up, and a virtual woman dressed in a business suit appeared on the screen.
She gave a slight bow to everyone in the room, and her pleasant voice rang out: "Greetings, esteemed leaders. I am the artificial intelligence Zhizi."
A glint flashed in the eyes of the five leaders, and they exchanged glances, each seeing a hint of shock in the other's eyes.
Although the security level of their conference room was not as high as that of a nuclear weapons storage site, it was still considered to be among the highest in the country. However, Ye Chen easily displayed the image on the screen.
This means that their conference room security system, and even the entire Forbidden City's network security, has been silently compromised!
Even if all the hackers on Earth joined forces, they couldn't do that!
The leaders quickly understood the meaning behind Ye Chen's actions.
If you can bypass the network security of the Forbidden City without being detected, you can bypass more than 99.9% of the network security on Earth.
As long as the perpetrator leaves traces online, wouldn't it be easy for artificial intelligence to collect evidence of their illegal activities?
Especially the Fifth Leader, who showed excitement for the first time, took a deep breath and said: "Ye Chen, you want to use this artificial intelligence to find evidence?"
"Yes, this is the artificial intelligence I developed, and it's part of the plan I brought with me."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'd like to present a gift to all the leaders first, and also let you all evaluate Zhi Zi's abilities. I wonder how you leaders would like to test him?"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the third-ranking officer, dressed in military uniform, immediately interjected, "A spy, of course it's a spy! Can you find information on spies lurking in China?"
The other leaders who were about to speak smiled wryly upon hearing this and did not argue with the third leader.
Then, their gazes turned to Ye Chen, their eyes filled with anticipation.
