Chapter 502 Grand Event (Part 2)(1/2)
Li Wei and others walked through the crowd and continued to move forward.
"Brother! Brother! I'm here!" Lina noticed his arrival and greeted him enthusiastically from the crowd.
"Lina." Looking at the heroic and plump sister in front of him, who has grown from a green girl to a capable young woman, Levi couldn't help but sigh: "Long time no see, you have grown up again."
It's true that he and Lina haven't seen each other for a long time.
Not long after the Battle of Ionia ended two years ago, Lina took the initiative to sign up as a foreign aid cadre that the organization urgently needed at that time, and supported the grassroots front lines in Ionia.
She has stayed in Ionia since then, devoting herself to a series of important tasks such as land reform, social transformation and economic development in Ionia.
Although in theory, there is a Hex flying gate between Zaun and the province of Balua, so she can come back when she wants to during the holidays.
However, the situation at the grassroots level in Ionia is extremely complicated, the work is very arduous, and there is a serious shortage of local cadres who lead the way...
They all want to use women as men and men as LeBlanc - how can they be in the mood to have a peaceful vacation and run back to Zaun to visit relatives as soon as the vacation is over?
Therefore, Levi has not seen his sister for more than half a year now.
This time, it was because Lina was rated as an outstanding representative of Zaun's foreign aid cadres. As an invited model, she returned to Zaun to participate in the celebration and receive commendations, so that he could see his sister again.
"Brother!" After meeting again after a long separation, Lina also seemed very clingy.
She completely lost the slight dislike she had for her brother in the past, and as soon as they met, she ran into Li Wei's arms like a baby.
"Lina..." Levi quietly enjoyed his sister's warm embrace and separated from her for a long time.
Then, he couldn't help but say: "You have done a good job in Ionia these two years."
"Of course!" After working on the front line in Ionia for a long time and interacting with all kinds of people, Lina's personality seemed to have become much more cheerful.
She proudly displayed her honorary badge and said with a smile: "I am not a representative hero for nothing!"
"Yes." Levi nodded deeply. He had been secretly paying attention to Lina's situation. Facts have proved that Lina has long been a more mature and determined leader than him.
"But..." Looking at his long-awaited sister, he couldn't help but say: "Now Ionia has gradually cultivated its own team of grassroots cadres."
"There is little need for Zu An's foreign aid cadres over there, or..."
"You should go back to work in Zaun, right?"
Relatives, especially brothers and sisters, can easily become bored after being together for a long time, but once they are separated, they will be missed again.
Li Wei couldn't help but persuade her, but he didn't expect her to agree.
But Lina nodded in surprise and responded: "Well, brother, I was just going to tell you about this..."
There is indeed no shortage of Zaun's foreign aid cadres on the Ionia side.
In fact, because Ionia was extremely short of cadres in the early days, Zaun used too many people to support it at that time. As a result, fully two-thirds of the middle and high-level positions in the Ionia branch are now held by outsiders from Zaun.
...
"This has caused dissatisfaction among many people in Ionia."
The Ionian national identity was forged in the blood and fire anti-invasion war that finally came to an end two years ago.
They bought their own national independence with the blood of countless people, and now is a time when national sentiment is high and intense.
Therefore, most Ionians instinctively cannot accept the fact that they are now being "ruled by foreigners".
Although in theory, these Zaun cadres are staunch leaders, selfless international fighters, and have a thread of faith to prove their purity and prove they are worthy of trust.
but...
The reality is that the great unity of mankind is far from coming. Most Ionians are still just the masses, or simple wind chasers.
They still recognize their nation more than their faith;
They also trust their own people more than foreigners.
The abnormal proportion of foreign officials in the Ionia branch has aroused people's sensitive nerves.
"So..." Lina said: "The Ionia branch decided to first comply with the national sentiments of the people, withdraw a group of Zaun cadres, and reasonably adjust the proportion of local foreign cadres..."
"And I'm one of them."
"That's it..." Levi nodded.
He did know about this. The Ionia branch wanted to adjust the proportion of foreign cadres, and it had been reported to him and the Central Council.
Li Wei knew that the barriers between countries, nations and races were not so easily broken by ideals and beliefs.
So the Central Council approved this proposal.
Not only in Ionia, but also in Demacia and Noxus, these joining countries with a strong nationalist atmosphere, leaders will have to pay attention to this issue in the future and consider the national sentiments of the local people.
However, under Li Wei's suggestion, the Federation added another policy to this series of policies.
That is to not only rationally adjust the ratio of foreign cadres in each joining country, but also to select cadres of different nationalities in a planned and purposeful manner and rotate them to serve in other joining countries.
Ionians can go to Noxus to serve as cadres, and Noxians can go to Demacia to serve as cadres...
The number of people does not need to be too large at the beginning, but it must be implemented slowly, hoping to start from the superstructure and gradually unite the entire Runeterra.
Next, everything will be left to time.
As the education of Lord Janna becomes more and more popular among the people, the generation of people with hatred gradually passes away. The political and economic exchanges between various regions become more and more in-depth and close, the population flows become more and more frequent, and the races become more and more complex.
It's getting harder and harder to tell you apart...
One day, all mankind will be truly united.
Levi knew the ins and outs of this matter.
"It's just that I didn't expect you to be among these returning cadres." He looked at his sister with some concern: "So Lina, what are you going to do when you come back? Are there any organizational arrangements?"
"Yes." Lina nodded: "The application I submitted to the organization has been approved. After returning to Zaun, I will continue to work in my old profession and engage in scientific research."
Although she is not as stunningly talented as Jess and Victor, she is still a rare little genius.
Returning to Zu'an to engage in scientific research is a professional match.
"Oh?" Li Wei was happy to see his sister coming back.
So he asked with concern: "Then which unit did you go to and what specific job did you do?"
"The Aerospace Power Research Institute in Zaun is engaged in Hex rocket research." Lina said.
"Aerospace Power Research Institute? Rocket research?" Levi was stunned for a moment.
He personally approved this project in order to develop larger and more efficient rockets to send satellites into space.
However, how could he remember that the current person in charge of the Rocket Research Laboratory seems to be...
"This is where I am!" A little girl with blue hair and twin tails squeezed out from the crowd.
"Jinx..." Levi's face darkened: "Is it you?"
"That's right. Sister Lina will be my colleague from now on." Jinx proudly puffed out her steel-like chest and stood next to Lina with an excited look on her face.
Nearly three years have passed, and Lina has grown taller, but this girl still seems to have not developed, as thin as a little wild cat.
Compared with the well-groomed and quiet Lena, Jinx seems to be even more extreme.
Even among the many people present at the celebration, she was also the most conspicuous one.
Because the leaders only distinguish between far and near based on the line of faith and never judge others by appearance, they truly respect any culture and any aesthetic.
In addition, Jinx is not a front-line cadre who needs to appear in public, but a scientific researcher at the rear, so there is no dress code for them in the organization...
Therefore, she still looks very similar to the little girl from Zu An back then.
Tattoos, twin ponytails, navel-baring top, purple stockings, punk Martin boots, and pants that save more fabric than other people's underwear. He is obviously a well-organized scientist, but he looks like an outlaw gangster from the pirates in Pibi Port...
Seeing this kind of "little sister" playing with his own sister all day long, even an older brother would instinctively feel a twitch in his heart.
"Leaders cannot judge people by their appearance, nor can they judge people by their appearance..." Li Wei silently recited a few politically correct verses before he finally calmed down his turbulent mood.
He knew that Jinx could be considered a good girl now.
Well...even if she smokes, drinks, dyes her hair, gets tattoos and wears navel-baring clothes, as long as she has the thread of faith, she is still a good girl who is trustworthy.
Since Zaun became independent, Jinx has been using her expertise to invent several useful weapons and equipment for the Wind Leader.
The Jinx rocket launcher invented by Jinx and the ultra-high rate of fire deformable machine gun made a huge contribution to the Zaun people being able to hold off the enemy for so long in the Underworld War.
Later, as a talented rocket expert, she joined the sounding rocket program promoted by Levi and became a chief researcher at the Aerospace Power Research Institute.
In short... Over the past two years, Jinx has not only kept everyone out of trouble, but has also made many contributions to the organization.
Although she seems unreliable, she is still trustworthy.
In fact, Jinx was invited to the ceremony this time as an outstanding representative of the scientific community and with the recognition of colleagues and organizations.
"Okay..." Levi sighed: "Lina, you can work wherever you like. I don't care about you."
"Yeah." Lina nodded obediently.
Levi put aside this worry and looked at Jinx who was clinging to his sister's side: "Jinx, how are your family members?"
Although everyone lives in the same city, Li Wei usually has a lot of official duties, so he may not have seen Wei, Fandel, and Hilko for a long time.
When he saw Jinx this time, he asked by the way,
"It's just like before." Jinx curled her lips.
After Fander regained his mind, he returned to Zaun with his two daughters and reopened the tavern in Zaun's Black Alley.
To be continued...
