Now, the entire conference room fell silent.
Perhaps it was the old woman's voice that drifted over, which was so unique. This time, after turning his head around for a while, Director Sun asked cautiously, "Who was speaking just now?"
Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.
Wang Zhenmin frowned and stepped forward. "Director Sun, I think it's the old lady who disappeared. It seems that this person is helping us invisibly. Are those things just now reminding us that earthquakes really do happen and we should believe it?"
Director Sun's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and said, "Help us? How can you be sure she's helping us? What if she's trying to harm us? If our announcement of this causes public panic, who will be held responsible?"
"But what if an earthquake really happens? If the intensity is really 7.8 as that old lady said, the number of casualties would be 140,000!"
“How did this number come about?”
"The old lady said so."
"You!" Director Sun clutched his chest, feeling like he was about to have a heart attack. "Section Chief Wang, stop mentioning the old lady! We scientists shouldn't believe in this kind of thing."
Wang Zhenmin still fought for it:
"But, our scientific determination puts the date between July 22nd and August 5th, Leader! Although this old lady's calculations are suspicious, as long as she can pinpoint the date to within a day, we can confidently prepare for the event on that day. It won't affect anything."
Director Sun began pounding his desk. "That's ridiculous! If we were to announce, on a national level, that an earthquake would occur on a certain day and at a certain time, how could that be so controversial? Would we then have to time every earthquake? If someone asked, 'How did you get the exact time?' would you say, 'Oh, an old lady told us?'"
Science is wrong, but the old lady is right? Or, let's do what you said, we reported it with all our might and took drastic preventive measures in advance, but in the end, on that day and at that time, nothing happened. How do you expect the Earthquake Bureau to carry out its work in the future? Huh?"
Yu Sui listened to these questions in the space and couldn't help but nodded.
After all, leaders are leaders. Indeed, leaders have to consider more things than ordinary people.
Just as Yu Sui was thinking about what to do next, Director Sun said outside:
"Alright, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll try to report this to the higher-ups and see what they say. But you have to keep looking for that old lady. I don't believe in gods or ghosts, and I don't think an old lady can just appear and disappear out of thin air. We have to find her and find the basis and motivation for her claims. Only then can we determine the truth of this matter."
"This..." Wang Zhenmin stood in front of the leader in embarrassment. "Leader, please wait a minute. But what if we can't find that old lady right away? All the comrades from the mass testing and prevention sites will be here for a meeting this afternoon. Time is running out. Should I tell them this important news?"
Director Sun stopped and stood still with his hands behind his back.
Yu Sui looked at his profile in the space and felt that he was also under pressure, leaning forward with his hands clenched tightly.
Finally, he issued an instruction: "If you want to speak, just emphasize that you are only speaking from your own perspective. Don't mention the old lady, and don't even mention our Earthquake Bureau! This is not something you, as a scientist, should say! Nor is it something you, as a member of a national organization, should say!"
Director Sun is gone.
Everyone was talking about it.
Someone came to ask Wang Zhenmin what to do next. Wang Zhenmin said:
"I trust my own observation data, so I believe what the old lady said. The leader is right. We should still find that old lady and ask her to explain how she was able to predict the earthquake time to the minute and second. If we can't find her, at the meeting tonight... I will still use my personal name to ask the comrades below to arrange for the evacuation of personnel. If there are any problems, I will take responsibility."
Everyone left and the conference room was empty again.
Yu Sui sighed in space.
Go ahead and look for it. If she can’t find that fictitious “old lady”, she loses.
In the evening, Yu Sui, who had eaten and drunk his fill and had a nap, came out of the space.
By this time, she was no longer dressed like an old lady. While the hotel waiter was busy cleaning the room, Yu Sui went to get a set of waiter's clothes and put them on, wandering around the floors.
The leader's point of view is correct. This is a major matter involving the lives of 240,000 people. He cannot be ignored just because he is afraid of taking responsibility. Yu Sui has to give it a push.
Covered by the waiter's clothes, Yu Sui got to the front desk and found Director Sun's room number 311 from the registration form.
Yu Sui walked over and saw the same conference room. There were already some people sitting there with notebooks in their hands.
This is probably what Wang Zhenmin said, the staff at the subordinate group monitoring and prevention points.
䀴It was near Room 311 at the bottom of the corridor. There was no one there, and the sound of opera singing could be heard faintly from the room.
Yu Sui flashed into the space and used the perspective function of the space to observe and found that Director Sun was lying on the bed with his hands behind his head and his feet dangling, looking very leisurely.
Tsk! I still overestimated him.
There is no need to rush!
Then we need to wind him up.
Yu Sui flashed out of the space and knocked on the door.
After a while, Director Sun's voice came out: "Who is it? Why are you knocking? Don't you know I'm writing important materials? The door is not locked, come in."
Yu Sui pushed the door open and went in.
Director Sun leaned against the head of the bed, pretending to be serious about his work.
Without even looking up, he already had a pen and a notebook in his hands. The bedside radio was turned down quite low, but he could still hear the faint sound of opera.
Yu Sui slammed the door shut.
Director Sun looked over with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing, you..."
He paused because it turned out to be a beautiful waitress.
"Do you... have something to say?" Director Sun put down the pen in his hand.
Yu Sui walked towards him with a smile.
Director Sun became nervous and put his feet down on the bed: "What are you doing?"
Yu Sui sat down on the bed and lifted the quilt with her hand.
Director Sun: "Hey, comrade, I have a family, don't mess around... No, you're attracted to me... Woo woo woo..."
Before he could finish his words, Yu Sui covered him with the quilt and threw him into the space.
This person stopped moving after taking a breath of space, just like before.
Is it space or evolution?
In the past, when a living thing was caught, it couldn’t be recognized on the screen. It would just be a cursor spinning around, never turning completely.
It’s different now. The cursor on the screen moved a few times, and then a line of words popped up: 㰴The system prohibits human trafficking!
Huh!
Yu Sui looked at the screen speechlessly. The AI still wasn't working. Did she say she was going to sell this person? Seriously!
