Chapter 177. Unofficial Conference
Arc 6 : Sci-fi Rom-com Movie Nightmare
TN:- 4 chapters today. End of the Arc with it.
Du Zhiping sat in the lounge and looked at the people around him. These were high-level elites that he had never dared to even imagine meeting.
He thought about his journey from being an orphan to being able to participate in important meetings that could influence the direction of Earth’s civilization, and felt that his decision to give up his feelings was the right one.
It’s not that Du Zhiping doesn’t like his first girlfriend. They grew up together in an orphanage. They were childhood sweethearts. They were each other’s first love when they first fell in love. She naturally meant something special to Du Zhiping.
Du Zhiping also thought about spending his whole life with her, but when another path to a bright future appeared before him, he hesitated for a long time and finally chose the bright future.
I don’t want my children to live such a difficult life. It’s enough for me to experience the hardships of this kind of life, Du Zhiping persuaded himself.
In fact, Du Zhiping had inquired about his first girlfriend’s whereabouts after marriage, and he also knew that his first girlfriend had given birth to a child for him.
It must be said that Du Zhiping felt at peace at the time, but due to his awkward position in the Luo family, he had to pretend that he didn’t know about the existence of Du Yan.
Until that time when Du Yan fell seriously ill, his first love came to visit him. At that time, Du Zhiping actually resented his first love because of her recklessness, which led to his wife knowing about the matter.
From then on, his situation in the Luo family became even more difficult. In order to improve his embarrassing situation, Du Zhiping had to endure the pity in his heart and let his wife deal with his first love.
Now, he finally got his revenge, but it’s a pity that Du Yan has disappeared.
Since being expelled from school, Du Zhiping has never seen Du Yan again. He knew that Du Yan had a grudge against him and thought that the boy had left the city in anger.
Maybe when he gets back on his feet, he can find Du Yan back, after all, he is his only son.
Just as Du Zhiping was dreaming about the future, the door of the lounge opened and the venue staff walked in.
Du Zhiping watched with bated breath as the staff member stopped in front of him and said: “Mr. Du, please bring one technical personnel with you to the meeting room to make a report.”
In the lounge, everyone’s eyes were focused on Du Zhiping.
Du Ziping stood up and straightened his clothes, enjoying the feeling of being watched. He turned around and said: “Xiao Zhou, come in with me.”
Standing at the entrance of the venue, Du Zhiping held his breath and took several deep breaths before pushing open the door in front of him. What appeared before him was a road leading to a bright future.

The report has come to an end. From China’s perspective, this report was perfect.
However, there was no sign of anything on the face of Zeus, who was sitting at the seat of honor. He kept this expression from beginning to end. But his eyes were always focused on the person who reported, as if he was thinking about something.
After the report was completed, the conference host asked the Sagoru side to raise questions about the report.
Zeus asked: “Mr. Du, do you have children?”
This question was unexpected by everyone present, and Du Zhiping was also stunned.
Fortunately, Du Zhiping’s brain was still working well. He thought of what his brother-in-law Luo Feng had told him before attending the meeting. It was probably to cover up all the past events and not to reveal any evidence that could be used by political enemies.
Du Zhiping said: “I have a daughter.”
Zeus glanced at him, his face still expressionless, but he asked back: “Only one daughter?”
Du Zhiping didn’t understand what he meant, but he knew that everything he said, if inappropriate, would have a huge impact on the Luo family.
Within seconds, Du Zhiping thought of something deeper.
Before coming to the meeting, Luo Feng had given him a document about the Sagoru people. This was the relevant information sent by the Sagoru side when they first came into contact with China, in order to avoid any unpleasant incidents during the talks.
He quickly thought of a key point in the information that the Sagoru people are a very loyal race, and it is said that they will only have one partner in their lifetime.
From falling in love to staying together for life, there is only one person, whom the Sagoru call a compatible partner. After they become adults, they will spend a hundred years wandering in the universe, just looking for a compatible partner.
If they can not find a suitable partner, the Sagoru would rather be alone for the rest of their lives. The Sagoru call this the Sagoru characteristic and are proud of it.
If that’s the case, then the Sagoru people should really appreciate people who are loyal. Thinking of this, Du Zhiping knew how he should answer.
He smiled happily and said: “Yes, my wife and I are first love and we have a very good relationship. She suffered a lot during childbirth, so we agreed to have only this one child.”
After Du Zhiping finished speaking, he waited for the Sagoru civilization’s Emperor to look at him with approval.
Unexpectedly, Zeus just said something ambiguous: “Really?”
After asking these somewhat strange questions, Zeus stopped talking and seemed to have no interest in the level of technology on Earth.
The Sagoru side stopped talking, and seeing this, the China side asked Du Zhiping to leave.
Just as Du Zhiping was about to leave the conference, he saw the staff officer from Sagoru coming over and saying: “Please stay for now, Mr. Du. We have something else to ask Mr. Du later.”
The Sagoru side did not explain what they needed to ask Du Zhiping about, but everyone interpreted it as the Sagoru people’s appreciation and praise for the Earth’s technological power.
So Du Zhiping, under the guidance of the staff, walked to Luo Feng and sat down. The two looked at each other, both with a look of satisfaction and joy on their faces.
According to the China side’s regular conference process, it should be the time for the Sagoru side to make a summary speech, but the Sagoru people seemed to be unaware of the China side’s understanding of the meeting and did not take the initiative to speak.
Therefore, the China side had no choice but to continue to guide the conference in the direction they expected. The host of the conference learned from the information that the Sagoru people are a very direct race, and communicating with them does not require too many twists and turns.
The other party can not understand euphemistic language and may even be disgusted by it. Thinking of this, the China side’s host asked directly: “May I ask Your Majesty Zeus, are you satisfied with the assessment results we have presented this time? Is the Earth qualified to enter the Galactic Senate?”
“This unofficial conference was not about the review.” Zeus said.
His words were too simple, so David quickly added an explanation: “I think China has a misunderstanding. This unofficial conference is not an assessment. The formal Galactic Senate assessment will have to wait until the Senate holds a formal meeting. After the assessment subject and assessment members are determined, a formal document will be sent to the Earth side.”
All the Chinese participants were stunned. They could not understand the meaning of Zeus’s words for a moment. They looked at each other for a moment and felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
The host had no choice but to continue asking: “Then may I ask Your Majesty Zeus, why was this technology from the Sagoru civilization given to China?”
Zeus said: “Because I need Chinese currency.”
The scene was very silent for a while, and David continued to explain: “The Sagoru people never invade other civilizations. If they need resources, they will exchange them through legitimate means. His Majesty needs Chinese currency, and have chosen this technology to exchange for Chinese currency with you.”
The Chinese were all in shock. The host thought for a moment and asked: “But exchanging a few million Chinese Yuan for the technology of an advanced civilization doesn’t sound like a deal.”
David said: “In terms of fairness in transactions, our concept as Sagoru people is different from that of Earthlings. This is the trading rule between intelligent civilizations after entering the interstellar age, and it can not be explained clearly in a short period of time. When Earth civilization enters the Galactic Senate, you will understand. In short, in the eyes of the Sagoru people, this transaction is very fair.”
Things were at a standstill for a while. The Sagoru people actually gave this technology not for the purpose of assessment.
Everyone on the China side was inevitably a little frustrated. It turned out that all the previous work was in vain. In the minds of the Sagoru people, this was just an ordinary transaction.
Some pessimistic people can’t help but think that the time for Earth civilization to enter the Senate may be postponed indefinitely, and it is not known whether China will be the first to receive an official assessment letter from the Galactic Senate.
While everyone was speculating, the conference host thought of a blind spot. If the Saguru people just regarded this as an ordinary transaction, why would such a high-level delegation of envoys come?
Must know, the person sitting at the seat of honor is the Emperor of the Sagoru civilization, the supreme ruler of an advanced civilization, and it doesn’t look like he would show up for an ordinary transaction.
After these exchanges, the conference host has already mastered the art of communicating with the Sagoru people. He directly raised his doubts and asked: “Can you tell the China side the real reason why the Sagoru civilization came to Earth?”
This time it was Zeus who spoke up, saying: “I came to Earth because of my suitable partner. He is an Earthling.”
Zeus’s words lifted the spirits of all the participants. The perfect partner for the supreme ruler of the Sagoru civilization is an Earthling.
What does this mean? Naturally, it means that after Earth civilization enters the Galactic Senate, it will receive full support from this advanced civilization.
After all, considering how much the Sagoru people value their partners, they will definitely give the greatest support to their partner’s homeland.
Even the conference host, who had seen countless big scenes, couldn’t help but get a little excited. He took a deep breath and asked: “Excuse me, is your partner Chinese?”
Under the expectant gaze of everyone on the China side, Zeus nodded: “Yes.”
Host asked again: “Do you need our cooperation to find your suitable partner?”
Zeus said: “No need, I have already established a relationship with him, and we have agreed to return to the Sagoru stellar system to hold the ceremony after resolving some issues.”
The host responded quickly and asked directly: “Is this informal meeting to resolve your partner’s issues?”
Zeus nodded: “Let him tell the details himself.”
