The atmosphere of the conversation became stiff in an instant.

Faced with Rudolph's tough rejection, Ai Qing was not angry, but crossed her fingers and placed them on the table, "Can you give me a reason? Mr. Rudolph. You haven't even finished listening to me.

It’s just a small action. I just want to check the list of passengers on the asterisks. It’s not difficult for you, right?”

"This is the private property of the Fred family, ma'am."

Rudolph frowned and responded unhappily: "Astronomical Society has no law enforcement power on the asterisks. We will not disturb our guests because of false problems."

Ai Qing was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "What if I persist?"

"Then I will stick with it."

Rudolph said indifferently: "I'll forgive you for your duty."

Perhaps the tiger skin of the Astronomical Society can work elsewhere, but it won't work in the asterisks.

This group of asterisks itself has a close connection with astronomy. If there is no high-level relationship, how can I get the legacy of the ideal country and install Osiris's secondary engine in my car?

Although the Ancient Group is operated on behalf of the people, its real belongs to the Fred family, the pure blood lords who dominated the Aegean region in the Roman genealogy.

If the world of sublimators has a social structure, then these families that have participated since the founding of the Astronomical Society will undoubtedly be at its peak.

They are known as "pure blood" and inherit the holy names of their ancestors. They have continued to this day. Every member of the orthodox direct line inherits the sublimated blood from their ancestors and the source quality of some high-level holy marks even in the embryo.

A family controls a complete sublimation path that is absolutely in line with its own bloodline. In addition to its huge wealth and influence, it even has a large border as its private territory.

The head of the Fred family, the [Whirlator] of this generation, was not only a noble member of the Roman Senate, but also a fifth-level sublimator at the top of the Sea Emperor's Road, and was known as the "Wanren Hai Abyss".

Only under the operation of him and several other pure blood families can he win investment from the Wangu Group and turn the star sign into an annual event on the Endless Sea.

It is precisely because of this freedom that even the astronomical meeting will not be concerned about, making it so prosperous that it has become an almost semi-open black market.

Now I don’t know how many shameful people are moving here. If the Astronomical Society’s notes are allowed to catch and search people at will, don’t explain whether the New Year can continue to handle it. He himself doesn’t know how to go back and explain to his master.

In his opinion, this was just another test of the Border Administration's attempt to interfere in the Asterisk business.

No matter what, it will not give Tianwen any room for intervention.

"Is that so? That's a shame."

Ai Qing sighed, but didn't say anything else, but just stood up and said, "Then I can only hope that nothing bad will happen."

In the silence, Rudolph slowly raised his eyes to curb his anger:

"Little girl, are you threatening me?"

"No, it's just a kind reminder."

Ai Qing answered calmly.

Through the desk, she stretched out her hand and waited for Rudolph's response.

But Rudolph still sat indifferently on the table, turned a deaf ear to Ai Qing's raised hands, shook his head coldly: "You can leave now."

Ai Qing did not leave, but just maintained her original posture.

Wait quietly.

Even though Rudolph's eyes gradually mocked him, he still did not take them back.

"You know, Mr. Rudolph, you have made several mistakes." Ai Qing sighed softly, "but one of them still has time to save, just like now."

She lowered her head and stared into the old man's eyes, and told him word by word: "As the Commissioner of the Central Decision Office of the General Administration, the Astronomical Society, whom I represent, came here to follow your etiquette and talk to you.

Then I deserve to enjoy favorable treatment and your respect - you can be stingy with your tea, you can also humiliate me, but you cannot refuse the Astronomical Society's handshake, no one can."

Rudolph's expression frozen for a moment, but was still cold and hard: "What if I say no?"

“You can’t say ‘no’ because you are not qualified.”

Ai Qing looked at him with pity, "If you are here today and wait until I take back this hand, then you, no, should you say that the Fred family you represent will no longer be friends from the Astronomical Society."

In the dead silence, Fred's expression changed.

Even though he was reluctant, he still slowly stood up in Ai Qing's mocking eyes, raised his hand in shame, held her hand in her hand, and stopped at once.

"You can leave now." He said with a pale face.

Ai Qing shrugged, turned around, and pushed the door out.

In the corridor outside the door, a man wearing a horse-head mask leaned against the wall, holding a cigarette in his hand, and was squirting the ashes on the precious carpet under his feet without hesitation.

In the alert sight of several guards, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the mouth and nose of the silicone horse's head, sometimes forming an F-shaped shape, sometimes forming an u-shaped shape, and sometimes forming a C-shaped shape...

Seeing Ai Qing come out, the last letter dissipated in the air.

He turned around and asked curiously: "How is the conversation, Your Excellency Commander?"

"Don't ask questions knowingly."

Ai Qing reached out, took the bag from his hand, took out a bottle of spray from it, sprayed it carefully, and wiped it twice with alcohol wipes.

"Let's go." She said, "I'm just a fool who is old and has not been infected and you don't need to clean it up."

"Then the relationship is good."

Tony shook his face: "After all, these guys are watching me, and I am under a lot of pressure... Goodbye everyone."

After saying goodbye politely, he threw the cigarette butt on the street stall and followed Ai Qing to leave.

It was not until he walked out the door that Tony asked casually: "Did you mean it?"

"Hmm?" Ai Qing didn't seem to know what he was talking about.

"You are deliberately angering him, right?"

Tony said: "I didn't fight the Fred family head-on, and I performed my duties again. No matter what happened in the end, all the blame was taken by that old guy.

Not only did you complete your mission, but you also gave the Border Administration a reason to intervene, and everyone would like to show your affection."

"You know, Tony."

In front, Ai Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped, "Among all the evil virtues, the most intolerable thing is stupidity, second only to being smart."

"Some people always think that they are a great backer and regard themselves as big names, but in fact they know nothing about the real power, which is so ignorant that it makes people want to laugh.

Even though I have reminded him that I am the commissioner of the decision-making office of the governing bureau, he is still trying to defend his insignificant power and dignity, like a hen protecting an egg. Until now, he doesn't even know what I want, let alone what he refuses."

She looked back at Tony and asked, "Do you think there is still a need for saving such a person?"

Tony shook his horse's face and just shrugged.

No answer.

I always feel that if I nodded in front of this black-hearted woman, she would definitely give herself this difficult and glorious task...

"Don't worry, I won't."

Ai Qing, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "Because there are more difficult tasks waiting for you. After all, I prefer to be smarter than idiots."

Tony's horse face suddenly stopped.

Feel the annoyance and sadness from the bottom of your heart.

Why did you expose her when you are idle? Isn’t the lesson you have learned enough? He felt that he had to start thinking about where to open a hair salon after he retired from the service with a disability.

I heard that Shambala's hair transplant industry is very developed... It seems that you can consider it?

In the commander's room.

Since Ai Qing left, Rudolph has fallen into strange uneasiness, anger, and a faint panic.

It seems like something has been done.

After refusing the next few meetings, he pondered for a long time, and finally wrote a detailed report on the arrival of the Astronomical Commissioner and reported it.

Then he paced back and forth in the office, waiting anxiously. It was not until the evening that he received a response from the upper level.

As the email opened, his heart completely sank into the bottom of the valley and was cold.

The official content of the email is only two words.

That was the angry reply from the head of the family.

Short and direct.

--waste!

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Huai Shi finally heard the first good thing in recent days.

His piano finally arrived.

It was passed through the special passage of the Hell Music Association, and the old man who was in charge of the concert hall was sent to Huai Shi's room. Another news came.

"In a few hours later, the local association may undergo temporary transfers." The old man said: "Please forgive me for asking too much. Do you have any plans to go to Kyoto?"
