"I, I don't have that much money..."
Lesedi, who was taken to another room by two machine security guards, lowered his head and murmured: "I know this miraculous treatment is definitely not cheap, but I really can't afford 1.5 million US dollars." .”
After the minister spouted off non-nutritious nonsense, anyone with a discerning eye could understand what this woman meant.
She has no money now, but for the sake of her daughter, as long as Qunxing Biotechnology Company is willing to extend some time, she will definitely find ways to collect money to pay off the debt.
"Well, it's not that we can't understand the difficulties of the patient's family. But as you just said, little Juliana's leukemia is an unsolvable problem for any hospital in the world. So I will put my words here and use my magic. Traces come at a price.”
The person sitting opposite Lesedi talking to him was none other than Yang Tianyi. However, he was not present in person, but a Z-2 nanorobot wearing a suit delivered the message on his behalf.
I am living in a spaceport in the asteroid belt, living a comfortable life like a vacation every day. As for the daily work of the group, the artificial intelligence Star Hub and tool man Harland are responsible for handling it, so he is relieved.
After seeing through the projection that the Minister of Health didn't seem to realize what kind of existence he was dealing with, Yang Tianyi casually began to put pressure on this ungrateful woman while cutting the steak on the plate with a knife and fork.
"Tell me, Ms. Dlamini, do you issue IOUs or installments when donating to the church? If not, then I don't think I need to play the role of a priest for some dispensable reputation. Then For God’s sake, I’m informing you that the medical expenses can be put on hold for now.”
As if he was amused by his own cold joke, Yang Tianyi chuckled and shook his head, asking in a pitiful tone: "You are the Minister of Health of a medium-sized country. It's not your first day on the job. How come you are so poor?" ? Can’t South African businessmen even come up with this small amount of political donations?”
Before Minister Lesedi, who felt his character was insulted, could refute this fallacy in person, the secretary robot who had been silent behind the messenger robot suddenly explained in a gentle and sweet voice.
"Ms. Dlamini has served as South Africa's Minister of Health for five years and seven months. During this period, her personal account balance has never exceeded US$200,000. The excess has been donated to a fund for subsidies free of charge. A charitable foundation that covers medical expenses for terminally ill patients, and there are still more than a dozen patients who rely on foundation subsidies for treatment."
Glancing gratefully at the secretary robot with the same voice as the radio, Lesedi looked at Yang Tianyi again with a hint of pride in her eyes - as a government executive who has been in politics for many years but only has a basic salary income, she thinks she has this Be proud of your qualifications.
Yang Tianyi touched his chin. The same action seemed a bit funny on a robot, but it immediately made Lesedi nervous. Because she knew that the real leader of this company was very good at hiding his true thoughts with cold machinery, and now such actions showed that the other party had finally begun to seriously think about solutions to the problem.
"I admire your honest style, but life is always full of surprises. Noble character and morality alone are not enough." He made a riddle with meaning, and opened and closed the bionic lips of the messenger robot. Together, Yang Tianyi slowly revealed his plan.
As a senior official in charge of all medical and health affairs in a country, as long as she had the guise of the Ninth District, if Lesedi wanted to, her power could have been even higher than it is now, and she could even have secretly colluded with the MNU. He became one of the few talkative people in the country.
But obviously, if Lesedi really did this, she would definitely not be unable to pay more than one million US dollars in medical expenses.
Now Yang Tianyi's requirements are quite similar to MNU's original requirements, but the core is completely different.
"I believe you have also noticed that Qunxing Biotechnology Company can be said to be unrivaled in the world in terms of medical strength. To be honest, our company not only possesses miraculous technologies such as medical beds and atomic recombination, but also in basic drugs, We also dabble in human genetics and biochemistry."
"As long as you are willing to open up domestic hospitals, pharmacies, etc. to our management, I can guarantee that within ten years, the average life expectancy and physical fitness of South African citizens will reach world-class levels, and even lead the world."
Compared to MNU's contract which was at the expense of absorbing people's wealth and anointing, Yang Tianyi's conditions were so good that Lesedi couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he couldn't make up his mind in a short period of time.
After all, this is an act of betraying national sovereignty. If Qunxing Biotechnology Company, which has already controlled everything by then, takes off its mask of hypocrisy and reveals that they are no different from MNU, then she will definitely be unable to save herself and can only witness it with her own eyes. My motherland has been torn apart by major interest groups.
On one side is his daughter, who is still lying on the medical bed, enjoying her first good dream in months. On the other side is the expectation and well-being of millions of citizens.
When Yang Tianyi slowly put the last piece of meat on the plate into his mouth with a fork, Lesaidi, who had been thinking for a long time, nodded with difficulty, saying that she would accept the request of Qunxing Biotechnology Company, but not to pay for medical expenses, but to hope The company can fulfill its contractual obligations and help countless citizens with difficult-to-treat illnesses get rid of the disease as soon as possible.
Pay whatever you have to pay. If it takes ten years of work to pay off the debt, then she will work for ten years. Lesedi didn't want her daughter to ask about it in the future, but as a mother, she could only be embarrassed and vague.
Just when the Minister of Health thought that the matter was over for the time being, the voice came out from the bionic lips of the messaging robot again.
"The work of taking over the national pharmaceutical industry will begin soon. In addition, please allow me to personally interpret what you have mentioned in several previous government meetings. If you think what I said No, you can stop me at any time.”
Yang Tianyi paused here and put aside the silver plate with only juice remaining, while the robot servant standing behind him quickly placed a piece of pudding that smelled of caramel as a dessert in front of him.
After tasting the sweet and delicious caramel pudding in the crystal container, Yang Tianyi casually displayed several image files in the earth's office in the form of holographic projection.
In these projections filtered out by the Star Hub, Lesedi is making an impassioned appeal to the Parliament and her colleagues, asking the government to face up to the problem of the Ninth Forbidden Zone. As the saying goes, those who are not our race must have different hearts. Through the previous It can be seen from the riots that the shrimp people not only have no sense of belonging to the earth, but also regard humans as their toys.
It can be said that if human technology remained at the level of hundreds of years, perhaps these so-called alien refugees would become colonists under the command of their leaders, use their advanced weapons beyond their times to conquer the world, and demote humans into slaves or even Total extinction is impossible.
"Excuse me for being presumptuous, but have you ever personally said, 'The extinction of shrimp people has nothing to do with humans, and humans should even take the initiative to consider taking special measures before the situation gets out of control to avoid future troubles'? I am It’s not something that can be construed as.”
Yang Tianyi tapped the small crystal bowl used to hold pudding with a spoon. He smiled slightly at the crisp knocking sound, without feeling any fear or guilt about what he was going to say next.
"You do not exclude certain people or organizations from carrying out large-scale genocide against shrimp people without affecting humans. As for what their purpose is, you don't care at all?"
He originally thought that Lesedi would react violently to this terrifying interpretation, so much so that he prepared another set of excuses. Unexpectedly, instead of shirk, the other party nodded in agreement.
In this woman who seemed to be reborn, Yang Tianyi could not see at all that just a few hours ago, she was still a weak woman who would shed tears for her daughter's precarious life.
Perhaps in Lesedi's eyes, human life and shrimp people have never been the same thing.
After receiving a positive answer from the Minister of Health, Yang Tianyi nodded in silence, ordered the messenger robot to change the conversation venue, and led the group's partner to visit the hidden facilities under the building.
Before following the robot into the elevator going underground, Lesedi first returned to his sleeping daughter and kissed her forehead. While stroking her daughter's hair that had become softer again, she sang a soft and beautiful lullaby. , she reluctantly stood up and nodded to the waiting messenger robot to indicate that she was ready.
Just a few minutes later, one person and one machine stood in the elevator car that was descending at high speed. In silence, the robot suddenly reminded in a rhythmic electronic male voice: "Everything you see next is the top secret of our company. Once you leave this building, don’t mention it to outsiders.”
The elevator quickly reached the floor where Yang Tianyi pressed the button. When the elevator door slowly opened, the cold and biting air outside the door quickly poured into the car. Lesedi couldn't help but shiver and gritted his teeth and asked, "It's so cold. What is the place used for?"
"You'll find out soon enough."
Without answering this question that could easily spoil the surprise, Yang Tianyi controlled the robot and walked step by step towards the white space outside the elevator door. His nagging look suddenly made the Minister of Health regret his hasty decision just now, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow. Go up.
After walking for a while in the empty corridor, the two came to a heavy door with a red and black five-pointed star. If you look closely, you can see the biochemical symbol looming in the five-pointed star.
Although she knew it was an illusion, Lesedi still seemed to be able to feel the breath coming from the crack in the door that was tens of thousands of times colder than the air around her now.
The breath of death.
Glancing at the Minister of Health, who was shaking badly, the robot took out a biochemical protective suit with good thermal insulation effect from a hidden metal cabinet on the side of the corridor and handed it to the other person.
After Lesedi put on the protective clothing, Yang Tianyi looked at the sign on the door with a playful look that was difficult for ordinary people to detect. Whether the secret channel group's half-month efforts will be effective depends on his subsequent performance.
So he pretended to enter a string of passwords on the screen embedded in the door, and at the same time turned sideways, showing a ladies-first attitude toward the woman behind him.
"Haven't you always wanted to solve the District 9 problem once and for all?"
"The solution lies within."
