Why it never ends

Chapter 58 Negotiations
This afternoon, Liz pushed Hesta back to the ward. Before leaving, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did Turan come here this afternoon?"

"No." Hesta shook her head, "Did you see her here?"

"Yes... I met her in the underground elevator when I came over in the afternoon, and she said she was here to see you."

Hesta thought for a while, "Maybe she didn't find the right ward?"

Liz had a surprised expression—it shouldn't be.

"But she really didn't come to my place today," Hesta said, "Why don't you go to Rico and ask?"

"I'm planning to go now," Liz smiled, "Lico's condition has improved recently, maybe you two can be discharged from the hospital together."

……

Under the gloomy sky, Qianye drove to the city hall of Tanyi City alone, and when she looked up, she found that someone was already waiting for her in the distance—that was the deputy secretary-general of the municipal secretariat.

"Mr. Alang!" Chiba rolled down the car window and greeted warmly, "Are you still coming to pick me up in person? It's an honor."

The middle-aged man on the opposite side was a little cautious. Before that, he had been pinching the cuff buttons on his wrist nervously.

After Qianye spoke, he coughed lightly, and politely responded: "We didn't expect that Miss Qianye would deliver the materials in person, otherwise we should send a car to pick you up."

"It's just a matter of running for a while, there is no need to mobilize the teachers so much."

The car turned off, and there were two tweets. Qianye got out of the car with a pack of documents, and walked quickly to Alang.

Alang's eyes could not help but follow the file bag in Qianye's hand, and he turned sideways to motion to Qianye, "You go this way."

The two walked through the high and wide corridor of the city hall, and after passing a series of off-white rock pillars, they entered the interior of the building.

The floor of the conference hall was old and dim, and Chiba and Alang's heels kicked on it, making a hard knocking sound.

"I heard that you went to the fifth district not long ago?" Alan asked.

"Ah."

"How's the situation over there? I heard there's another chelate tide..."

"That's right," Chiba replied casually, "but it won't affect the habitability of District [-], and the existing chelates have all been cleared, so you don't have to worry."

The voices of the two were very soft, but they still aroused echoes in the dark and closed corridor.

Alan sighed, "How can I not be worried, but it may be that I am too concerned about this news... In recent months, chelation disease seems to have recovered in the wastelands of all districts."

Chiba smiled, "That's true."

The two stopped in front of a heavy and thick wooden door. Alan pushed the door open, and there were already four people sitting in the meeting room.In the center of the meeting room was a giant oval round table, and a crystal chandelier hung from the center of the ceiling. The four people sat side by side on the window side of the oval table.

Seeing Qianye, three of the four immediately stood up.

Of the four faces in front of him, some Chiba knew and some did not.

"Hello, everyone." She greeted and walked straight to the seat opposite the four of them and sat down.

After sitting down, the air was like frozen ice, and no one spoke first.

"Let's get straight to the point." Chiba broke the silence first, and threw the file bag in his hand directly on the opposite table. "Here is Hesta's personal file. When the handover process will start depends only on when the city hall Send a transfer letter to the base. At that time, we will fully cooperate. In other words... Congratulations, everyone, you have won."

The few people on the opposite side looked at each other, but they were somewhat restrained. The person sitting in the middle coughed: "We are also very sorry that the situation has developed to this point. After all, let Hesta leave the Mercury Needle organization and return to a livable and stable life. wishes of the citizens."

Chiba clasped her hands and smiled, "Of course, everything depends on the will of the people. We made concessions for the same reason and chose to let Hesta return to the citizens."

Hearing this, the person on the opposite side began to quickly unpack the document bag - there was a thick stack of documents inside, including Hesta's personal information, the results of the medical examination, and various procedures that had been completed when entering the base.

The serious expressions of several officials suddenly softened. They quickly put the documents back into the paper bags and handed them to Alang who was sitting at the farthest side. "Long nights and dreams, be sure to send the transfer letter to the base this afternoon—"

"Don't be so anxious." Qianye said with a smile.

The man holding the document paused, and he looked at Chiba: "Is there any condition on the base side?"

"There are no conditions. It's just that Hesta is still recuperating in the base hospital. You handed over the documents today and we can't start preparing for the handover right away. Everything depends on Hesta's recovery."

"Injured?" Several officials were very surprised, "How could you be injured? Is it serious?"

"It's not serious. She had a conflict with another reserve member of the base, and she broke his bones when she disagreed with him, and she was also injured a little bit," Qianye said with a smile, "but it's not a big deal. How many children of this age They're all a little rebellious."

"...How long will it take to recover?"

"Two or three days." Qianye answered casually.

"Then it's okay for us to send the documents over today," another official said to Chiba, "This will also give you more time to prepare."

Hearing the impeccable explanation on the other side, Qianye shrugged, "It's fine, I reminded you anyway."

So Alan took the documents and left the meeting.

The whole room became quiet again, Qianye leaned back slightly, "Let's talk about more important things next, how do you decide to clean up the current situation?"

"Tomorrow, we will hold a press conference." The official on the far left replied, "The news of Hesta's return to the livable place will be announced in the third district through multiple channels--Miss Chiba must also know the matter. The commotion has far exceeded our imagination. In the past two weeks, demonstrations broke out in more than half of the 47 livable places in the third district..."

Speaking of this, the official paused, changed his tone, and looked at Qianye optimistically: "However, we believe that your concession this time will definitely calm this innocent disaster."

"What about more practical measures? The follow-up impact of these parades has seriously affected the normal operation of the base. Now that you have all arranged for the press conference, why don't you meet us, can't you justify it?" Chiba's fingers lightly Tapping on the desktop, "What about the process?"

The old man sitting across from him who hadn't said anything suddenly raised his head, "Of course, even if you don't ask, we will notify you as soon as possible."

Qianye looked at him: "Excuse me, who are you?"

The officials beside the old man hurriedly said: "This is Mr. Robert, the secretary-general of the city hall, the highest official in charge of this incident—"

"Oh, nice to meet you." Chiba bowed forward and stretched out his hand to the old man, "Chiba Masaki."

Robert took off his glasses at this time, his eyes were lowered, and he wiped the lenses with the handkerchief he carried with him, avoiding Chiba's outstretched hand so properly.
