Yao Yuan awoke to Barbie’s voice He looked at his watch and it showed 230 pm After a simple bathroom ritual, he left for a 4th floor conference room to join the discussion on the Hope’s external cabin
After several months of construction, the first external cabin was finally ready Its size was 1/10 of the Hope’s 6th floor biomes The space would be perfect for a cattle farm, which could increase the Hope’s daily milk production by 2 to 3 tie of products processed by the Hope, its Departriculture had birthed etable products, wheat products, meat products, animal by-products, and luxury products like coffee, cocoa, as well as tobacco, and every single one of the for this valuable space
The discussion was thus sidetracked by intra-departmental politics and sarcastic barbs This was Yao Yuan’s first taste of western policy-, where each committee had their own say to the matter For example, representatives from the staple food coe was still below the safety line, so they would face food shortage if there was calamity
The committee for luxury products, on the other hand, invited an econoative impacts a decrease in luxury products would have on the Hope’s overall econo for the spot until Yao Yuan dictatorially decided to use the external cabin to farhed inwardly, knowing that chaos was going to repeat when the next cabin was ready
The discussion concluded at around 430 PM As Yao Yuan exited the room, he murmured, "Goodness, Barbie, don’t you westerners have a sense of organizational discipline? But… then again, I’ve witnessed the presence of such discipline working as a coled "The difference between the two is obvious There is oftentiher-ups could willy-nilly let a general worker or even a o One could complain, but that would normally be to no avail The best you can do is accept the severance deal and quickly look for your nextis wildly difference A president can’t just let his or her cabinet o without proper justification This is especially true for a democratic society because the public backlash would be devastating The president would have little chance of getting re-elected"
Barbie stopped and turned to look at the ani They had smiles all over their faces After they were a distance away, Barbie continued, "For soovern Chinese officials at leadership posts Many of theive them a coriculture department are westerners Furthermore, they are familiar with your teave it their all to stake a clairoup"
"My temperament? And ould that be?" Yao Yuan asked curiously
"You are e call a ‘fake dictator,’ and that’s a coh you’ve proclai style, there have been policies like the creation of House of Representatives and policies that strive for cultural assimilation Furthermore, other than ioverns require intra-departmental recommendations, and those are decidedly democratic All of this combined makes you a ‘fake dictator’"
Yao Yuan rubbed his nose self-consciously, but he didn’t directly rebut Barbie Instead, he said, "That’s because I have not shown my dictator side yet Further… Actually, neverto ask why I purposely put those Chinese officers at the lowest level? The reasoning’s hty complicated, but here, I’ll try to explain it with a joke
"Once upon a ti lord was captured by Interpol He was temporarily detained after his trial at the international court while he awaited his transport to his country of origin In that period, he befriended his fellow cell one of their conversations, the drug lord asked, ‘Right, we’ve been talking for so long, but I still don’t knohy are you in here, and what country did you work for again?’
"After a long and pregnant silence, the eovern lord paused and then nodded in coet it…’"
Barbie turned to Yao Yuan with a confused face She frowned, waiting for the punch-line before finally conceding "Wait, that’s it? Unlike the drug lord, I don’t think I get it"
Yao Yuan laughed heartily in response "No ed his te else, I will have a simple dinner and resume my sleep The analysis on the alien object should be ready by toht?"
Barbie replied, "Then, Captain, I’ht The preliminary result on the object is back… and it said that the scientists have identified the object’s purpose… or rather, the object has revealed its own purpose…"
"Pat, pat, pat"
