Bulwark of Light

Chapter 157 I, object
"By the way... Yesterday, there was an explosion near the Freedom Auditorium, did you hear about it?"

Zhou Jiren shook his wine glass and asked with a low laugh.

"Um……"

Zhao Xilai agreed lazily.

"Gu Shen, this kid, has been really unlucky recently... I went to the auditorium to listen to a concert, but I encountered a bomb arranged by Xiao." Mr. Shu said regretfully, "Tell me, how could it be such a coincidence?"

"The world is always like this, and there is no coincidence without a book."

"I also like to listen to the concert in the Liberty Auditorium." Knowing that Mr. Shu was going around, he actually wanted to test his attitude towards the meeting between Lu Nanzhi and Ye Ningqiu, so he responded neatly: "That's a good place, classical music. , Elegant and loud."

Reread the last three words.

"Although I don't know why you like that kind of place..." Zhou Ji understood and said with a smile, "But I still have to say, as long as you like it."

The countdown on the light curtain ends.

The flag of the parliament appeared in the center of the screen, as well as a boxy platform.

In the nomination ceremony of candidate members, many key figures actually had to attend, but this time due to avoidance of suspicion, most of the two members of parliament chose to retreat.

The reason for this is well known to everyone.

Regarding the Awakening Act, Zhao and Chen have completely different opinions, and it is indeed inconvenient for these two to meet each other today.

It's not suitable for anyone to come, so don't come at all.

"I heard that Nanwan has nominated three candidate councilors." Zhou Jiren said, "There should be a fierce battle in the future, right? I'm sweating for little girl Nanzhi."

Even so, there was no sign of tension in his demeanor.

Wine should be drunk.

Desserts should be eaten.

Purely... just a spectator.

And soon, something unexpected happened.

South Bay's first nominated candidate candidate boarded the stage. He covered his tie with one hand, leaned down, looked around, and tried the microphone gently. After confirming that it was available, he announced a message.

"I...resigned from the race."

outside the light curtain.

Zhou Jiren squinted his eyes, slowly chewing a piece of strawberry juice cake.

Really... a historic scene.

Funk.

It is not a casual matter to nominate candidate councilors... Nanwan nominated three candidates in one go. These three are quite excellent in terms of background and resume. He tried his best to fight to the death with Huaqi Group at the final pass of the Awakening Act.

The nomination of the three candidate councilors was to sternly block Lu Nanzhi from getting the seat of councilors.

But now, there are "deserters".

The speech in front of the light curtain caused countless controversies, and the noisy voices of the guests outside the screen could even be heard.

Zhao Xilai was sitting in a wheelchair, quietly watching this scene with his usual expression.

The second candidate member from Nanwan, following the footsteps of the former, slowly came to the stage... He made exactly the same movements and said the same words.

"I also... withdraw from the race."

The second bombshell.

Followed by the third.

"I'm sorry... I'm also withdrawing from the race."

The three Nanwan councilors successively expressed their resignation words. Without any more words, they left the venue, leaving only a noisy scene. No one has ever seen such a scene.

South Bay drops race for nomination for alternate...

Perhaps in the eyes of everyone, there is not much hope.

But in any case, it should be striven for.

……

……

Huge laughter erupted on the top floor of Huaqi.

Even Zhao Xilai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help laughing.

For those high-level officials who were invited to the celebration dinner, they had wondered how the campaign would end.

But it never occurred to me anyway.

will be so fast.

Nanwan's exit at the speed of light seemed a little funny.

As far as Zhao Xilai is concerned, he feels that Zhou Jiren came at the right time, and he appreciates the stunned look on the face of the Dongzhou adjudicator at the moment... People who hold great power often enjoy this feeling——

Because he already knew what would happen today.

Everyone thought the campaign was funny.

And Zhao Xilai thinks everyone is funny.

The greatest joy is to help others.

Mr. Shu noticed that there was another person who was not smiling. That was Cui Zhongzhong. This paralyzed person seemed to have lost the ability to laugh...Standing quietly like a wooden stake, without emotion, sorrow, or life.

The noisy voice in the light curtain slowly settled down.

Finally, the lady in a purple dress came to the stage.

The campaign has just begun—

The campaign is over.

The three candidates in South Bay all chose "self-death", they ended sadly, and the real protagonist made a grand debut.

Flashing lights flooded the sky, and the lady stood in front of the conference stage, with the flag of Dadu behind her, and the skirt and the flag were fluttering in the wind.

She stood silently for a long time, as if she was thinking about something, or making up her mind about something.

1 minute later.

Lu Nanzhi spoke slowly.

Her voice was firm and powerful, and she was not affected by the three former candidates... As praised by the outside world, Madam has iron-blooded wrists and an aura stronger than men.

The moment she spoke, the audience fell into silence inside and outside the venue.

Everyone quietly listened to Lu Nanzhi's election manifesto, even though such things are no longer needed.

"Today's forum...I don't think anyone is more qualified to stand here than me."

"Ten years ago, this was my father's platform."

"He's been here to shed sweat, tears, and finally... blood."

"Dadu raised me, this is my hometown, mother... I have thought countless times, what would I do if I could contribute to this land?"

The flash shines on the woman's cheek.

Lu Nanzhi's eyes were more blazing than the lights.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Zhao Xilai watched this scene with relief.

What followed was a warm election manifesto.

Everyone knows that after the declaration is over, the main event will be.

After taking a deep breath.

Madam looked directly at the camera, and she spoke calmly and forbearingly: "We all know that most of us need reform... and the imminent reform is the Awakening Act. The deep sea has given the equation to calculate the fate of mankind. Arguing about it at night, but my attitude is actually very simple."

"The fate of mankind must be held in the hands of mankind."

Lu Nanzhi raised her head.

When she said this sentence, there was another exclamation from the audience.

Madam firmly said: "Change needs time, order needs stability... and the power to promote the process of history cannot be handed over to machines."

"About Deep Sea's proposal for the implementation of the Awakening Act..."

"I object."
