Earth Era

Zhou Yueshan had to admit that there was some truth in what Advisor Li said. Not everyone thinks it is worth sacrificing the happiness of their own generation, and even the next generation, and the next generation in exchange for the continuation of civilization. Even if one is emotionally inclined to sacrifice and contribute in exchange for future survival, such emotions will always be worn away in a long life of resource shortage and harsh environment.

The most important thing is that people don't know whether this kind of effort is meaningful.

What if sacrifices are made and dedications are given, but there is still no hope for the future?

As far as Zhou Yueshan knows, this ideology has a great sense of identity among the people at the bottom. On the contrary, some people in the upper class who have not been greatly affected by the new economic reform policy are more in favor of the current policy.

Zhou Yueshan is undoubtedly in the upper class. But because of the type of company, his interests are closely linked to whether to return to the solar system.

Should he stay in the hopeless Phoenix Galaxy and live a life of prosperity and wealth, or should he return to the solar system and fall instantly in class?

Zhou Yueshan knew very well that his status as the father-in-law of the head of state would not bring him much benefit. Shen Qingyuan is a stubborn and principled person, and he will not allow himself to rely on this status to seek benefits. You still need to fight for everything you have.

Xinghui Group embodies his life's efforts and hopes, and is the only way for him to rise to the top and control the fate of millions of people. Without Xinghui Group, or if Xinghui Group declined, he would instantly fall from the top of the pyramid. Perhaps it was because of this that Consultant Li, who served Mr. Nickel, came to visit him again and again. And... Zhou Yueshan had to admit that he was indeed a little moved.

With the financial support of himself and other top wealthy people who have the same interests as himself, Mr. Nickel's reputation will reach a higher level. His political leanings also have wide supporters among the people. Combining the two, Mr. Nickel is expected to aspire to the throne of head of state again, his own interests can be preserved, and the people can escape this hell-like life of suffering.

Everything is so perfect.

But Zhou Yueshan didn't dare to make a decision now. This is the most important choice in your life. Once you make a choice, there is no turning back. Your destiny, wealth and life will all depend on this.

"Counsellor Li, you are joking. I am just a businessman, and a businessman who abides by the law. This kind of thing involving high-level government and the fate of civilization is not something I can participate in."

Consultant Li narrowed his eyes slightly and then laughed: "Haha, Mr. Zhou, just chatting among friends. Can anyone blame us? Well, I had a great time chatting with you today. If I have the chance, I will Come visit you again.”

Zhou Yueshan stood up, shook hands with Consultant Li, and said with the same smile: "You are welcome to visit me at any time."

"Then without delaying your work, I'll take my leave."

Advisor Li left, and the smile on Zhou Yueshan's face disappeared instantly. Several figures were appearing and disappearing in his mind, including Shen Qingyuan, his daughter Zhou Mingyu, his grandson Shen Fusheng, and so on. After pondering for a long time, Zhou Yueshan sighed and threw all these things out of his mind.

Capital City Central Government Building.

All eleven members of the Government Affairs Committee were present, and everyone looked solemn.

"The Central Academy of Sciences reported that the intensity of the Phoenix Star explosion will exceed any previous one, even more powerful than the one ten years ago. We have already passed emergency evacuation and avoidance orders, but it involves some important industrial and civil facilities. We do not have complete authority to deal with the disposal, disaster rescue and other follow-up matters. I think it is more appropriate for the head of state to wake up and handle it."

Han Luochang put forward his motion in a serious tone, and almost everyone looked at Zhao Yang and Lei Zhen at the same time.

Everyone knows that Zhao Yang and Lei Zhen are the staunchest supporters of the head of state Shen Qingyuan. These two people can also be regarded as Shen Qingyuan's representatives in the Government Affairs Committee. They are the two most important nails for Shen Qingyuan to control and balance the Government Affairs Committee and ensure that his dominance is unshakable. These two people have the final say on whether to wake up Shen Qingyuan.

Zhao Yang and Lei Zhen looked at each other, thought silently for a moment, and finally made a decision.

"Yes, I agree to wake up the Führer."

Eleven political councilors came to the depths of the government building at the same time, in one of the most heavily guarded areas, and signed their names on the awakening decision sheet one by one. After the inspection, the leader of the hibernation team entered a room further inside together with the medical team and security team.

The wake-up procedure began and Shen Qingyuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Has another year passed?"

"No, Führer. This hibernation does not last for a year. All members of the Political Council unanimously agreed to wake you up early."

"Oh...did something happen?"

Shen Qingyuan murmured to himself, left the hibernation cabin with the support of members of the medical team, and immediately began the most comprehensive physical examination. After everything was confirmed to be normal, Shen Qingyuan appeared in the conference room.

"There is no need to report on regular government affairs. Tell me, did something happen?"

Han Luochang took out the documents he had prepared and handed them to Shen Qingyuan. Shen Qingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "I authorize the Government Affairs Committee to handle this incident with full authority."

Several committee members hurriedly left to deal with it, while Huang Yuan, Han Luochang, Wu Wei, Zhao Yang, and Lei Zhen stayed behind.

The five committee members began to report one by one on their work progress during this period. Zhao Yang and Lei Zhen's reports were lackluster, and Wu Wei was dissatisfied when reporting.

"The implementation of the new economic policy is related to the fate of the entire civilization. In this process, occasional small mistakes can be tolerated for the sake of the overall situation. All committee members and all institutions should serve this matter. Committee member Han, I am right. What?"

Han Luochang said calmly: "It is my responsibility to fight against corruption, collusion of interests, and illegal crimes. I only know that as the chairman of the Integrity Commission, I have to do my own thing well, and I don't know the rest."

Shen Qingyuan could easily detect that Wu Wei and Han Luochang were not happy with each other. But this was originally planned by me. If the two of them get along well, then I should carefully consider personnel arrangements.

"Pay attention to coordination on specific matters and don't act arbitrarily. If you can't decide, you can put it to the Government Affairs Committee meeting for detailed discussion." Shen Qingyuan said some principled but not nutritious words, and ended the report between the two. .

After that, Shen Qingyuan set his sights on Dr. Huang Yuan.

Compared with the current average life span of human beings, ten years is really not a long time. But Huang Yuan is obviously much older than he was ten years ago.

"Huang Yuan, it's been ten years, have you made any progress?"

Huang Yuan sighed bitterly: "I'm sorry, Head of State, but still not."

This answer was expected by Shen Qingyuan. If there was any progress, Huang Yuan would probably report it directly without waiting for him to ask.

Shen Qingyuan did not continue to put pressure on Huang Yuan, but nodded slightly and ended the conversation. Huang Yuan's face became even more bitter.

After the report was over, Shen Qingyuan came to his office and began to deal with the backlog of government affairs during this period. In fact, these government affairs are not important. There are many government affairs committees that can handle them on their own, but all the committee members have a tacit understanding not to touch this red line.

Because that is the embodiment of the authority and power of the head of state. No matter how unimportant it is, only the head of state can make the decision to deal with it. This is true even for the current outbreak of the Phoenix Star. It doesn't matter whether Shen Qingyuan is awakened or not, but Shen Qingyuan's words "I authorize the Government Affairs Committee to handle it" are very important.

As Shen Qingyuan processed the documents, the overview of the entire civilization gradually appeared before his eyes.

During its hibernation period, the entire civilization is still moving forward according to its designated path. Although the situation is not getting better, it is not getting worse either. At this stage, it is actually the best news that there is no deterioration.

Ten days passed quickly again, and Shen Qingyuan once again entered hibernation. Time is still passing slowly, everything is the same as yesterday, but everything is different from yesterday.

Daniel once again came to that ordinary-looking building somewhere in the capital city. His whereabouts were extremely secretive, and he even took a two-hour detour before entering here.

Just like before, there were several strangers waiting in that gorgeously decorated room. Daniel's eyes swept over their faces one by one, and combined with the information the middleman had given him in advance, as well as certain reports from the media, he quickly recognized these people.

Among these people are the presidents of the largest and second largest energy companies in civilization, the chairman of the largest base maintenance and operation company, and the general manager of an energy transmission company.

Daniel sat down on the middle seat unceremoniously, and his tone was full of nonchalance: "Tell me your demands."

The businessmen looked at each other, and finally, a president said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Daniel, the main reason we are visiting you this time is to hope that you can find ways to adjust the current energy prices. As you know, major companies in our energy industry We have made significant contributions to civilization for a long time, allowing people to use clean and cheap energy. We have made significant sacrifices for this. The average profit rate in the industry has been at the lowest level for a long time, and we do not even have enough profits to pay bonuses to our employees... …”

The president kept talking, and Daniel waved his hand impatiently: "I'm not interested in these things. Tell me what price you can pay for this."
