Chapter 569 I don’t mean to steal your wife
What Yao Li said was exactly what Meng Ke was worried about.
Since ancient times, power and obligations have been equal, and status and ability have been equal.
This bill seems to raise the status of women to a new level, but in fact, only women of this generation will benefit from it.
Even if interstellar people have long lifespans and there are no outstanding women occupying high positions, before their generation of women dies, women's voices will no longer be heard in such proposals concerning women.
Meng doesn't want her daughter and granddaughter to face such a dilemma.
In this proposal, after women are born and their talents are tested, the alliance mastermind will match them with fiancés, and these fiancés will have to leave home and serve them from a young age.
Meng couldn't bear to think about what a child raised like this would become.
And there are girls as outstanding as her daughter Duoduo who cannot do anything dangerous, including going to other countries to study and training with boys in military academies.
This proposal lists very detailed items, and it seems that each item is for the safety of women and the future of mankind. However, in fact, it is to cut off the wings of girls and make them unable to soar.
She doesn't allow it!
After hanging up the video call, Meng Ke looked at the familiar streets and drank milk tea slowly. She seemed to have returned to her previous life.
In my previous life, there was a milk tea shop near my company. Sometimes, when a few colleagues didn’t want to take a break at noon, they would go to the milk tea shop to sit after lunch.
I remember a colleague almost spit out his coffee when he saw online information about the benefits of having a third child for women.
Meng is a single person, and he has heard about the proposal at that time, which was that the Flowering Country was about to enter an aging society with a sharp decline in population, and encouraged second and third children.
Netizens had heated discussions about this online.
A colleague saw this post where someone suggested giving one year of paid maternity leave for the first child, two years for the second, and three years for the third...
After hearing the speech of this fellow god, Meng Ke still remembers what the highest-ranking director present said.
"Companies are interest groups, not charities. Women are already at a disadvantage when it comes to job hunting and promotions due to childbearing. If a mandatory three-year paid leave requirement for a third child were to materialize, which company would pay for it?"
Meng Ke couldn't help but nod at that time. She was not the boss, and if she were, she would not be willing to hire him.
Don't say she has no love. Are you worth that? Just let someone pay you three years' salary for free.
I heard that there are also people who got pregnant within three months of joining the company and immediately planned for a second or third child after giving birth.
She has no heart in her work and is definitely being taken advantage of by the company. If this goes on for a long time, no company will dare to hire women.
As I said, the more ability you have, the more benefits you can enjoy. Just like the three-child policy, it should be enough. Don’t mention the three-year break after the third child. The company is not your parents. If you really implement it this way, there is only one result: they don’t want women from the beginning.
At that time, whether women are looking for a job or changing jobs, the talent market, which is already unfavorable to women, will be further affected.
Meng Ke’s first reaction after seeing this proposal was to never have children. What if in the future her daughter and granddaughter want to find a job but society doesn’t want women, and the status of women becomes lower and lower until they are completely reduced to tools for bearing children?
Fortunately, the top leaders of the Flower-Growing Country are very rational and not overly enthusiastic. After listening to opinions from all sides, the welfare policies they formulated are very pertinent and acceptable to enterprises and units.
I thought of a saying from ancient learning: If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself.
In Meng Ke's previous life, he was a lowly person with little influence, and whatever he said or thought could not change the status quo.
This time is different. She has the confidence to speak up for women, both in terms of status and influence.
So she turned on her laptop and spoke under her real name under the public account of the congressman who made the suggestion.
Behind each member of the alliance is his or her own team, which is full of talents and includes geniuses from all walks of life.
Meng Ke turned off the computer after making her public speech, but she didn't know that her speech had quickly fermented and set off a wave of sensation on the Internet.
Meng Ke only sent two paragraphs:
Since humanity entered interstellar space, the contributions of women have been indelible. Should we be confined to a greenhouse simply because of the dangers? I refuse to do so. I want to shine like the rising sun, and I want all my children to flourish.
I am a purifier, a planter, and a warrior, and I am proud of my warrior identity. I hope that if my daughters are ever in danger or the Alliance is in crisis, they will be able to protect themselves and the Alliance just like I did.
She did not target the MP, but made her position clear: she did not agree to restrict women's development in the name of improving women's welfare.
Yao Li had been asking his men to keep an eye on Meng Ke's movements, and whenever they saw her make a public statement, they would immediately forward it to their own account.
As soon as Yao Li made a move, the parliamentarians and executives belonging to his faction immediately followed suit.
So the citizens of the alliance soon discovered that her husband Ouyang Kong was not among those who supported Master Meng Ke this time.
Netizens have endless imaginations and had already speculated about the divorce before Ouyang Kong finished the meeting.
Some even said that the prejudice of the aristocratic families could not even be overcome in matching the main brain. It must be that the big families looked down on Master Meng's orphan status, and in the end the two of them were not in agreement and could not work together.
Someone asked under Yao Li’s account whether good things were about to happen.
As a civilian legislator, Yao Li is quite down-to-earth. When he doesn't understand something, he asks: What's the good news?
This person is a fan of Yao Li. When he saw that Councillor Yao replied to him, he was so excited that he immediately left a message below: What a great thing for you and Master Meng.
Yao Li didn't think about marriage for a moment, he just thought that this person was saying that he and Meng Ke would join forces to deal with the personnel issues on Qila Star.
So I replied below: Well, there is more than that, there will be good news to announce next.
He was referring to the resettlement of garbage planet residents. Two resettlement planets under Meng Ke's name are under construction. Once completed, household registration and subsequent education will be arranged immediately.
By then, orphans on the garbage planet will be able to enjoy the alliance’s welfare, and children who cannot afford to go to school will also be able to study with the support of the alliance. Isn’t this a great thing that benefits the country and the people?
Yao Li didn't know that his speech had drawn a lot of congratulations on the Internet.
When Ouyang Kong saw a group of people on the Internet wishing his mortal enemy and his wife a happy marriage and a baby soon, he punched the table and broke it.
What a Yao Li, he has always had evil ambitions and even dared to covet his wife. He doesn’t even look at who he is and whether he deserves her.
The moment Yao Li opened the door of his office, a gust of wind blew past, and he was punched into the transparent wall behind him.
Fortunately, the transparent wall is one-way and cannot be seen from the outside, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.
"Delete this message."
The two had been fighting each other since before Ouyang Kong took the seat of parliamentarian, but this was the first time they had come to blows.
Yao Licai was not afraid of him. His disheveled clothes revealed his combat uniform, which showed that he was not someone to be trifled with.
He slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and sat back in his office chair with the air of a master, his mouth taunting, "Aren't you children of aristocratic families the most respectful of manners? You can handle things behind the scenes, never turn your face to someone's face. You can speak hurtfully, never use your hands to hurt someone. What's this? You have a bad memory, have you forgotten your aristocratic upbringing?"
Who is Ouyang Kong? How could he be coerced by just a few words from him?
"You, a rogue councillor, are not qualified to talk about self-cultivation. I'm telling you, no matter how we fight, you are not allowed to plot against my wife, otherwise don't blame me for using extreme measures."
Everyone outside calls Yao Li a civilian councilor, but only his colleagues know that he is a gangster.
Rogue MP is what insiders call Yao Li.
If it weren't for the fact that aristocratic families like Ouyang Kong still maintained their bottom line, a commoner like Yao Li would never be able to hold a high position no matter how capable he was.
Once Ouyang Kong gave up his bottom line and sniped him, he wouldn't last more than a round. This was the family background, and his personal strength was so small that it was vulnerable to a single blow.
Yao Li certainly knew this, and he also wanted to sit in this position and provide more benefits to ordinary citizens.
"Your worries are really unnecessary. To tell you the truth, if the main planet exploded right now and I could only save one person, I would definitely save your wife."
"court death!"
Ouyang Kong's spirit body suddenly appeared behind Yao Li, kicked him to the ground and stomped him hard.
Yao Li finally realized that both his online comments and the sentence he just said were ambiguous.
At this moment, he wanted to touch his forehead. Is this the ignorance of a single man?
Okay! Go find a woman and date her a few times, just to gain experience.
"I don't mean to steal your wife."
The main reason is that Meng Ke is obviously not interested in him, so he can't get her.
