Why it never ends

Chapter 1078 Notes

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Everyone stopped talking and Hesta poked his head out from behind the door. "Victoria, can you come out for a moment?"

Victoria stood up, brushed off the dust on her body, and turned to Ende and Zoe and said, "Don't sleep too late."

After the two left, Qizhen looked at Turan and asked, "Did your friend open a farm in District 12 after retirement?"

Before Turan could answer, Rico put his hands on his hips and said, "She may not retire even if I retire. She is now the inspector of District 12."

"Official?" Qi Zhen was a little surprised, "But she looks so young."

"Jane is very young," Turan said, "She is one year younger than Rico."

Qizhen turned to Turan: "What is she responsible for supervising? Laws? Taxes? Or chelation disease-related research-"

"All matters related to the duties of AHgAs in District 12, in theory, need her approval." Turan replied, "In general--"

"Monitor everything?" Qizhen said softly.

"Remember the terrorist attack that happened in Emanlia?" Turan lifted his feet off the ground and sat cross-legged on the bed. "She was the one who made the decision to take immediate revenge on the Liberal Party in the 12th District of the South."

Qizhen's eyes widened a little. She was about to continue asking questions when Endai beside her suddenly exclaimed: "Are these all your notes?"

Qizhen turned around and found that the suitcase she had placed casually against the wall had fallen over at some point. Many old leather notebooks were visible from under the thick canvas cover. When Endai tried to straighten the suitcase, more old notebooks slipped out.

Qizhen quickly got out of bed, put the box flat again, and put the more than 30 notebooks in order.

"These are all my teacher's field notes from the past few years," Qizhen explained as she sorted them out, "I've been reading them recently..."

"But didn't you go back to District 1 in the fall?" Rico looked at the box full of notebooks in surprise, "Why did you bring so many notebooks when you went out to play?"

"It's safer to keep it with me," Qizhen replied, "The roommates next door to the house we rented kept changing, and they would rent out the room for short periods of time. Although I'll only be away for half a year, I'm afraid something might happen—"

Zoe tilted her head with a complicated expression: "...No thief would come here specifically to steal anthropology notes."

"What if there's an accident? What if there's a fire?" Qi Zhen turned around. "In an emergency, no one would bother to save the notebook in the next room."

Ende hummed a little in recognition.

Turan yawned loudly: "Haha, let's go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."

……

The next morning, Arevalo's secretary came to the farm.

Hesta had gone with the workers to carry wood early in the morning, so the secretary waited in front of the main house for nearly an hour before seeing Hesta.

"Long time no see." Hesta took the initiative to greet him. "Your governor responded very quickly. I just sent him an email last night."

"Yes, that's exactly why I came here." The secretary kept smiling gently, as if she didn't notice the sawdust and dust on Hesta's body. "I can see that you are very busy now. Do you want to keep it short or -"

"Let's go for a walk." Hesta said, "I'll just show you the school building we're building." "Great."

Along the way, the secretary conveyed Arevalo's intention - the old governor expressed unprecedented praise for Hesta's plan to build a school on the farm. Hesta did not interrupt the secretary's polite words, but smiled and said that she had long seen that Arevalo was an old-fashioned Third District person and a real gentleman, so she was not surprised at Arevalo's attitude at all.

"It is completely possible to borrow a self-defense force. Even if this incident did not happen, we would come to ask you later whether you need a smart and capable team to ensure the safety here. But the Governor thinks that sending troops here can be put off until this matter is resolved." The secretary said, "May I ask if 'borrowing troops' was your own idea or..."

"Sir Kveshik suggested that to me."

"it is as expected."

"What's wrong?" Hesta said, "He seems to have a lot of insights into what's going on in District 12—"

"You shouldn't listen to him," the secretary said bluntly. "In all matters of business, his experience is of the least use and may even be harmful. You must remember this."

Hesta pretended to be surprised and stopped: "I don't quite understand what you mean..."

"Of course the people on the farm are mean and stupid. Anyone who wants to communicate with them is wasting their time. However, if you really want to use the Self-Defense Forces to achieve your goals, you will only be dragged into a more difficult situation by these people. After all, you live here now, and they have plenty of ways to make you uncomfortable without finding any fault with them..."

Hesta showed an unconvinced expression: "The Governor wants me to not confront him head-on?"

"Since you have written this email to the Governor, the Governor feels that it is his responsibility to help you resolve this matter - to resolve it completely, truly, and without any future troubles or concerns."

"That's great, how do we do it?"

"Please tell me a time that is convenient for you. It will take at least two hours. You just need to be there and watch. The Governor will arrange everything."

"This morning, then," Hesta said. "Can we do it?"

The secretary looked at the time. It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

"I will bring some guests to the main house to meet you in an hour," the secretary said, "and if it's convenient for you, you can prepare some refreshments and chairs."

"How many people?"

"Four."

"Okay," Hesta agreed immediately, "Do you need me to take you there?"

The secretary shook his head again and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am very familiar with this place... Well, see you later."

Hesta stood there and watched the secretary go away. At this time, she had crossed the entire square of the school building and came to a flat road. She thought thoughtfully about the attitude of Arevalo's secretary and suddenly had a new premonition that the governor's sudden concern might not be without reason.

There was the sound of scattered horse hooves in the distance. Hesta glanced to the side and saw Tiexi and Qizhen leading their horses towards her.

Hesta didn't really want to talk to Tiexi, so she decided to pretend she didn't see it. However, before she turned around, the sharp-eyed Qizhen had already raised her hand and waved at her.

"Ms. Hesta!" she called from afar. "Good morning!"
