Chapter 507 Negotiations
On that morning, Edmons got up and was about to meet with officials sent by the government. He happened to meet Ada who was wandering around on the road. While he saw Ada, Ada also happened to see him.
Ada was stunned at first, then quickly walked up, stopped, looked at Edmons coldly, and asked, "Where is my brother?"
"Your brother is on a trip."
"What? He went on a trip?! He didn't even tell me!" Ada's arrogant expression suddenly became aggrieved.
Edmons smiled slightly and took out a letter from his briefcase: "Qin Yi left it to you."
At the first glance of the letter, Ada changed her sad face and smiled. She took the envelope and raised her eyebrows: "Does Liu Xiyue have it?"
“Some.”
Ada's smile was calm, and she was shocked with disdain, then she snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking back.
Edmons shook his head, sighed helplessly, turned around and walked into the elevator, and came to the first floor of the church.
"Edmons!"
He was about to go out when a voice in the corner called him.
Edmons stopped and looked into the corners following the sound. A thin man walked out of the shadow of the wall and came to the morning light. He was slightly hunched, and his forehead was covered with a strand of hair, but it was no different from baldness.
At first glance, anyone would think that this is an old programmer who has worked for ten years, but in fact he is the second person in the Council of Scepters, Edmons' most trusted confidant, Kurt.
Compared with Edmons, he had little reputation, and even in the Scepter Council, few people mentioned him, but only the top leaders in the Council knew how important Kurt occupies in this organization.
He is like the shadow of Edmons, silent and unknown. No one can see him at all, but he cannot exist. You may not see him or even think of him in normal times, but once you have something to find Edmons but can't contact him, he is definitely the first person you think of.
This is what he is important. He can keep everything running smoothly and steadily when Edmons is away.
"Kurt, it's been a long time since I saw you. Are you in good health?" Edmons' gray eyes showed concern.
Kurt is already in the late stage of lung cancer. Because he was discovered too late, even the treatment magic technique could not help him recover, so he could only delay his condition and relieve his pain.
With such a good helper, Edmons felt very lucky, and Kurt was his confidant.
As a reborn person, it is really rare that he can find a wise man among ordinary people who understands him so much and keeps up with his thinking. To be honest, he really can't bear to leave Kurt.
Kurt seemed to notice Edmons' thoughts, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry about me, you have magic to help me heal you. It should be okay to live for five or six years, and everything was over by then."
"Don't say that, don't you want to enjoy life after everything is over? With Qin Yi here now, you don't have to work so hard, you should have a good rest."
Kurt nodded gently: "I have indeed been much more relaxed recently. Are you going to discuss the implementation of the public opinion war with them now?"
"That's right."
"Do you really think the public opinion war is feasible?" Kurt pushed his glasses and stared at Edmons seriously.
Seeing the other party's expression, Edmons also entered a state of serious discussion.
"Well, what's wrong? I've told you in advance. You thought it was feasible at that time, right?"
"But I thought about it again yesterday and felt that the risk was still too great."
"But Qin Yi has implemented this, and I don't think there is any problem."
"Edmons, I understand your idea. I also think Qin Yi is a very perfect leader, but have you ever thought that the same thing is different from that of us."
"But he said I can master that technique, and I don't think it's a big loss to try it."
Edmons was a little puzzled. Why did Kurt agree with Qin Yi’s sharp point yesterday? Why did he suddenly change his mind today?
"According to his logic, this is true, but I thought of another possibility yesterday."
“What is possible?”
Kurt's eyes dodged a little, he licked his lips, looking quite nervous.
Edmons, who had been with Kurt for many years, saw through the other party's emotions and encouraged him: "Although we have made an appointment? Any doubtful place should be proposed to discuss together, don't hesitate."
"Okay." Kurt made up his mind, "I have a little doubt on Qin Yi!"
Edmons stood there in a daze, his expression became very solemn. As Kurt said this, the air in the lobby on the first floor became a little solemn.
After ten seconds, no one spoke, Kurt couldn't help but break his silence: "I'm sorry, when I didn't say it, I might not have thought it clearly."
"About what you just said, let's have a good chat when we come back. Now I'm going to meet those senior officials, and those people don't like to wait for others."
"A good journey." Kurt waved.
Edmons nodded to the other party and went out and got into the car.
The vehicle started, and Edmons fell into deep thought. He stared at the scenery outside the car window and moved back quickly. The conversation just now lingered in his mind.
Why did Kurt doubt Qin Yi? Before this, he was very supportive of Qin Yi and optimistic about every step of Qin Yi's plan.
What exactly made him start to doubt the other party?
What did he think of yesterday night?
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a building, and the iron fence at the gate slowly moved horizontally. There was a special person waiting inside. Edmons got out of the car and walked into the building under the guidance of the other party. He was finally led to a living room.
“It’s here.”
The guide nodded to him and then stepped back.
Edmons stood at the door for a while, sorted out the language and arguments in his mind again, and pushed open the door.
There were seven or eight people sitting inside. After he entered, these people looked up and glanced at him briefly, and then put their eyes back on the documents in front of him.
This perfunctory attitude made Edmons convinced that what he would meet next was a difficult verbal battle. No, there would not be even a verbal battle. These people seemed to have made up their minds and did not assist him in implementing the public opinion war plan.
"Mr. Edmons, please sit down, thank you for taking the time to come."
"No, I want to thank you."
Edmons sat down opposite the table, and on the other side were the eight officials. This scene was like a group of interviewers interviewing an employee.
After Edmons sat down, the group began to search the documents in their hands. Those documents were the general implementation ideas of the public opinion war, the ultimate goal, and the budget statistics that needed to be consumed, etc.
The group of people looked through it in a pretentious manner for a long time, then the person sitting in the center closed the document first, raised his head, and showed a polite smile to Edmons. I have to say that the smile was more perfunctory than the waiter in the catering industry who said that he was welcomed, and he could not feel any sincerity.
"We have all studied it, and everyone thinks that this solution simply doesn't work."
As soon as you open your mouth, you will summarize the conclusion.
Hum, it's really tricky.
Chapter completed!
