"Minister Xia, long time no see."
As soon as I got off the spaceship, someone called me from the side.
Chen An turned around and saw Lu Zhaoyu with a proud look on his face.
After his promotion, Lu Zhaoyu was now at the same level as Chen An, and his way of speaking became more casual.
Chen An asked, "Are you waiting for me here?"
"How could that be? I just happened to arrive. Oh, they say Minister Xia likes beautiful women, and even the driver is a stunning beauty. She knows how to have fun!"
Some things do not need to be explained, justice is in the hearts of the people.
Chen An said unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"Haha, it's nothing. I just want to talk to Minister Xia. After all, we are colleagues."
This guy is so playful and smiling that if you don't know him, you would think that today is not a day to commemorate the old palace master, but an awards ceremony.
“Is the project still moving forward?”
Don't hit a smiling person. Chen An chatted with him as they walked.
Lu Zhaoyu replied, "Part of it will be carried out, but I plan to cut some of it. After all, the Palace Master has just taken office and there are too many places to spend money. As subordinates, we still have to save what we can."
Idiot! You can't even flatter me.
Chen An cursed in his heart.
He said, "We can't save money in scientific research. If the results are slow or there are no results, the Palace Master will be even more angry."
Lu Zhaoyu is a researcher by profession and has spent a long time in the Ministry of Science and Technology, so he lacks understanding of the overall situation.
No matter which palace master comes to power, he will pay special attention to the Ministry of Science and Technology and will never stop research projects to save money. After all, scientific research is related to the future.
Lu Zhaoyu disagreed with what Chen An said.
When a new official takes office, he certainly cannot stick with the old ways. He must make changes, even if he knows they may be wrong.
Therefore, Lu Zhaoyu not only canceled some projects, but also planned to reduce the scale of the most expensive leap project.
He even told Chen An the truth, looking very pleased with himself.
Chen An was speechless. If he and Mu Lin didn't cause trouble today, this guy wouldn't live more than half a year.
Too lazy to persuade him anymore, Chen Anbu agreed and said he did a good job.
From then on, new ministers or senior officials kept coming to say hello and talk about their recent situation, and most of them expressed concern about the situation.
"The Palace Master is still too radical. Many ministers cannot be killed, such as Yu Jincheng. He has been a professor for many years and has too many students in the energy field."
"The Star Lord and the Governor also need to be appeased. How can we dismiss them all? It's simply... sigh..."
"The public opinion online is very unfavorable to the Palace Master. I hope that things will improve after today, otherwise it will also affect us."
"I heard that Chu Yang didn't accept the order. If Chu Xiao died today, it's hard to imagine what he would do."
"In my opinion, keeping Chu Xiao to restrain Chu Yang is better than killing her. Who gave the Palace Master this bad idea?"
"I heard that many judgments were issued by the Ministry of Justice and were only reported to the Palace Master after passing Rong Hang's review."
"There's something wrong with Rong Hang. I feel like he's deliberately misleading the Palace Master."
These words made Chen An suddenly realize.
Many of the things Rong Hang did were probably ordered by Jiang Li, and he was also the one who pushed for the sentencing of these people.
In other words, they are trying their best to make Zhou Yao make mistakes.
Chen An did not participate in the conversation, but just listened.
After walking along the avenue for a while, they boarded the shuttle bus and arrived at the Star Praying Platform in the middle of the Star Burial Garden ten minutes later.
A huge round crystal platform floated in the sea of white flowers, and a large number of shuttle buses flew around to take the officials participating in the memorial ceremony to the platform.
The live music was bleak and the atmosphere was dull. People gathered in groups of three or four and did not dare to speak loudly.
Chen An looked up at the sky. A vast crystal dome was floating in the void, revealing a sea of stars.
This is not an illusion, but a real projection of the starry sky outside.
"Brother Xia, I'm afraid it's going to be very lively today."
Hu Mingfeng came over happily, and there was no sign of awe for the ceremony on his face.
Or maybe he actually knew that Jiang Li was not dead, so he felt relieved.
Chen An replied: "But the excitement is not mine."
"Haha, how could that be! As a participant, Brother Xia must share in the fun."
As we were chatting, someone next to us interrupted and said, "The memorial service is so dull, how can it be lively?"
The speaker was Zhu Die, the Minister of Fertility, who was dressed up in a gorgeous outfit with a brilliant white flower on her chest.
She didn't seem to be there to attend a memorial service, but more like she was on a blind date.
Chen An had long known that Zhu Die was able to become the minister thanks to her long-term private relationship with Zhou Yao.
With Zhou Yao becoming the Palace Master, Zhu Die had a sense of freedom and drifting away, and was a bit artificial in her daily life.
It’s not surprising. After all, Tianwuxing Palace is not a monogamous society. As long as Zhou Yao is willing, he can marry her.
Hu Mingfeng replied, "Having so many people gathered here is a real joy. Minister Zhu, is something good about to happen?"
"Haha!" Zhu Die smiled brightly and charmingly. She was definitely not a good person, as she could make that old guy Zhou Yao risk damaging his reputation.
"You're right. It's definitely more lively with more people. Minister Xia, I heard you have something to talk to me about?"
What the hell!
Hu Mingfeng realized something, laughed it off and left, saying that he had some official business to attend to.
After the people walked away, Chen An asked her, "Is there something wrong with you?"
Zhu Die came closer, her delicate facial features were full of charm, and her eyes were like the abyss, as if she wanted to eat Chen An.
"Of all the ministers, you're the best looking. Shall we go for a walk over there?"
She was referring to the sea of flowers.
Chen An refused: "That's not good. What if people gossip about it..."
"Aren't you, Xia Zuo, very romantic? Why are you afraid now?"
Chen An: "Justice lies in the hearts of the people."
"Haha, living in a world like this, where is justice? Power, strength, wealth, these are justice. If you have the ability, I can be yours. Right?"
