Several more people followed and stood up to applaud, including Tasia. Amidst the slightly suppressed applause, more and more people stood up to show their support for the mercury needle in front of them.
Hesta looked up, "Rigo, we can go get the Guide."
"good!"
Rico turned around excitedly and took the brown paper portfolio in his hand.
"And a pen," Gobelin reminded.
"Whose pen is this?"
"It belongs to the Adjudicator," Gobelin replied softly. "It should be placed with the Guide... You will also need to use it later."
Rico said "Oh", grabbed the pen and handed it to Hesta.
Not far away, Si Lei separated from the men blocking her and quickly came to Hesta's side, "...congratulations, Jane!"
Hesta did not respond immediately. She lowered her head and put the red pen in her breast pocket with one hand. The "Guide" was always firmly in her hand.
"This "Guide"—"
Hesta looked up at Si Lei and smiled, "We'll talk about it when we get back."
For a moment, Si Lei heard herself let out a very light sigh. She felt that a stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. All the previous worries and self-blame were suddenly swept away, and everything became relaxed again.
"Okay," Si Lei nodded, "Go back and talk."
Gobelin quickly walked to Hestad's side, and he faced the crowd: "Well, now I will issue the last notice as the 'arbiter'... Don't be nervous, this is good news, I want to tell you, in the adjudication No one will die on the day of the replacement, so everyone here can spend today with peace of mind.
"Everyone is safe today."
There was a slight exclamation of joy from the crowd, and suddenly someone raised his hand: "Mr. Gobelin, will you show up again?"
This question silenced everyone, and everyone looked at Gobelin seriously.
"I will stay on the third deck from now on," Gobelin said softly. "If anyone needs my help, they can find me over there."
The crowd burst into applause again, many times louder than before. People looked at Gobelin with eyes full of attachment. When the applause subsided, Gobelin looked back at Hesta and said, "Then let's leave time to Ms. Hesta. She must also have something to say to everyone."
The microphone was handed to Hestad's mouth again.
Hesta thought for a moment.
"Meeting dismissed."
…
Although the rally ended this morning, many people chose to stay in Bishop's Restaurant, partly because breakfast had just started being served here, and partly because Hestad had not left yet.
After adjourning the meeting, Hestad left René alone to talk. The conversation between the two didn't last long, but Rene's expression gradually changed from his usual humility to surprise, and then he began to wipe away tears - Si Lei had been observing this scene from a distance. Obviously, Hestash gave him Benefit from Rene.
Judging from Rene's reaction, there should be some amazing and real benefits.
The conversation between the two lasted for about ten minutes, after which René turned his head three times to say goodbye to Hesta, and then left the restaurant quickly.
Several passengers quickly seized the opportunity to come forward to say hello to Hestad. Hestad exchanged greetings with everyone before walking toward the exit.
"Why are you still here?" Seeing Si Lei still standing at the door, Hesta was a little surprised, "Didn't I just tell you to go back and rest first?"
"Don't be in a hurry." Si Lei put her hands in her pockets and quickly kept up with Rico and Hesta. She looked sideways at the two of them, "What happened to Rene just now? I think he seemed to have changed suddenly. very excited?"
"Jian gave him a blank list and said he could write the names of three people on it, and we will ensure the absolute safety of these three people..." Li Ge replied softly, frowning as he spoke, she Looking down at Hesta's forehead, "How are you going to ensure their absolute safety? You couldn't even guarantee your own safety last night."
"That doesn't affect my promise to him," Hesta said with his eyes closed. "It's free of charge for the blank paper."
"Ah, you..." Li Ge was stunned for a moment, and she took a breath, "I find that you are a bit..."
"That's different," Hesta patted the "Guide" in her arms, "Look what I promised you before?"
"Oh, when you first said that you would let me see the "Guide" today, I thought you had some way to negotiate amicably with the new adjudicator...but you went up on your own!" Rico sighed and shook his head. , "When I pushed you forward, I was still thinking, 'Hey, what are you doing, Jane? If you go further, you can go directly to the running platform.', but then I heard you suddenly say, 'I'm tired. Leave the rest of the time to me - 'I really beg you, give me some air next time you do this kind of drama!"
"Just push me up and down, what's the best way to ventilate..." Hesta raised her head, "Can't you do it if you have hands and feet?"
Just as Rico was about to speak back, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away - Si Lei and Hesta also saw the person coming at the same time. Tasia and a young man were standing at the corner ahead. The moment their eyes met, she took the initiative to say hello to the three of them.
Hesta glanced at the man standing next to her. It was the man Tasia chased out when she left the restaurant not long ago...it seemed to be named Philip.
The two came forward together, Tasia's eyes were still red.
"Hello," Tasia pulled back her hair and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you. I... came to thank you."
Hesta did not respond, "Who is it?"
"Hello," the man stretched out his hand to Hesta, "My name is Philip,"
"Do you mind stepping aside for a moment?" Hesta did not raise her hand. She looked into the man's eyes. "This is a private conversation."
"Oh, haha, you don't have to worry about this, because I am Tasia's friend..." Phillip's voice suddenly stopped - he found that Hesta's eyes were getting colder, even Rico and Si Lei He also looked a little impatient, "...Uh, Tasia, I'll wait for you over there."
After Philip left, Hesta looked at Tasia again, "Thank me for what?"
"Well... you bought time for me. Just when Mr. Blomberg proposed to extend the speech to fifteen minutes, you and Mr. Gobelin chatted for a long time - I knew I might be in You're so pretentious! But no matter what, I want to come and thank you...thank you for your actions at that time."
"You're welcome." Hesta replied softly.
For some reason, Tasia was a little surprised by Hestad's answer - she had thought that Hestad would categorically deny that he was helping. After all, her subsequent performance was really disappointing...
"Can I ask you a question?" Hesta looked at her.
"……You say."
"Why did you raise your hand at that time?"
