Chapter 243 General Election
"As we all know, the Sun Festival has always been centered on airships around the city, but there are also several branch venues on the ground. What are behind me now are the three members of this Sun Festival. The construction site of venue No. 3. It is said that the chief designer of venue No. 3 this time is Mr. Toshi Aizaki, the former chief art director of Yokoyamabo. Please follow the camera now and let us take a look together——"
In the live broadcast room, the reporter maintained a perfect and not annoying smile, dressed appropriately, and showed the audience the No. 3 venue in the final inspection stage with a very friendly image.
In addition to this formal live news broadcast, some self-media also received invitations and released videos about the Sun Celebration. Some well-known singers, actors, and virtual anchors have also been revealed one after another that they will participate in the Sun Celebration performances.
A variety of luxury brands in cosmetics, luxury goods, electronic equipment, etc. have also launched related linked products. Even several popular games under [Dust Contract Generation] have officially announced the Sun Celebration theme. In collaboration with culture and entertainment, a series of limited-time human rights cards, fashions, offline check-ins and other items have been launched.
Under Fubo Energy's overwhelming publicity and marketing offensive, the entire Zhuguang City was filled with a cheerful and moving atmosphere. No one even cared about the approaching general election of the ruling officials.
No, to be precise, "most people" don't care.
Since Fubo Energy took the lead in developing [Casting Light City] seventy years ago, the latter has become the undoubted center of the entire Rokal Plain. Therefore, almost every generation of mayor of Casting Light City also serves as the administrative head of the Rokar Administrative Region.
It can even be said that the mayor of Zhuguang City has a higher position of authority than the chief executive of the Rokal Administrative Region.
——Because it represents [Fubo Energy]’s trust in you and allows you to be qualified to be the confidant of a giant company!
Unfortunately, after a series of events such as internal strife within giant companies, four full-scale corporate wars, the Free Revolution, and the entry of Enlightened Ones, Fubo Energy's control over Zhuguang City gradually weakened.
With the support from the General Administration of Security, "Shang Qiu" sensed the situation accurately and served as mayor and chief executive for three consecutive terms for a total of 12 years. Little by little, the government of the Rocal region got rid of its pure vassal status - —
At least it is no longer a complete vassal, and has some autonomy.
This blow to [Fubo Energy] is actually quite heavy.
In terms of claim rights such as "official government", if in the heyday of Fubo Energy decades ago, even the government of Zhuguang City, from the mayor to the clerks, would have been determined As an anti-company, Fubo Energy can also clean up and replace everyone with obedient people the next day.
Not to mention people, even a real "dog" according to biological classification, as long as Fubo Energy wants to, it can surely become the mayor of Casting Light City!
But it’s different now.
First, Nanyu Heavy Industry and Zero Degree Network seized the opportunity during the all-out corporate war and intervened in Zhuguang City, forcing Fubo Energy to share part of its control with the former. Then in recent years, Enlightenment has strongly announced its presence, causing Fubo Energy to suffer a big setback.
In this case, the "official government" claim is no longer indifferent to Fubo Energy.
This is why they invest a lot of political donations and put forward candidates for important positions such as mayor who are dependent on them, and at the same time they secretly launch Joshua Groden to run for the position of justice.
No matter how flexible Shang Qiu is, no matter how strong the reputation she has accumulated over the past twelve years, according to the mayor's inauguration regulations, she cannot continue to be re-elected - Fubo Energy will take advantage of Shang Qiu's resignation to change the key officials of the Rokal regional government. The opportunity of a new election will bring everything back on track.
Let the obedient government of the past come back.
Let Fubo Energy be more convenient and do whatever you want.
"——So, we can't let you really hold the Sun Celebration."
Song Shi leaned on the sofa, looked at the live broadcast room, and laughed softly.
The general election is just one and a half months away, and the Sun Celebration is set at this time. It is obvious that one of the main reasons is to build momentum. You know, the Enlightened Ones also secretly contacted some candidates and tried to cultivate high-ranking officials close to them.
Let Fubo Energy do a good job in this solar festival, and with their abundant resources and decades of influence in Rockall, after the election, I am afraid they can really make a big change in the city government. .
But
Now that I have come and taken over the job, I can’t let them be so happy anymore. "Now we're just waiting for Chakoro's preparations."
Song Shi thought to himself that the absorbed Yu Pan Yi and Yao Xing's three spiritual energies, which have been digested in these days, will naturally not be a problem by the time of the Sun Festival.
As for the advance preparation for "promotion"... I can only say that there is no need to care.
“.Hmm.”
Thinking about this, after realizing that he had nothing to do for the moment.
Song Shi thought for a few seconds and decisively chose to go out.
Huh——
The whistling wind hit my head and face, and the airflow of more than ten degrees below zero was as cold as a knife - it was not even an empty finger, it was mixed with scrap metal particles randomly discharged from the factory and overflowing into the air. These howling cold winds can literally tear a natural person's face apart.
However, today's weather conditions are considered pleasant. The wind is cold, but not to this extent.
Song Shi lives in District 5, which was originally the "neutral relaxation zone" between the company and the Enlightenment. However, after the extension of the geothermal power plant was deployed, the Enlightenment has begun to use the extension to expand its sphere of influence here.
But this level of action, even if the enlightened ones have already made a lot of plans, cannot be realized in a short time, so the fifth area still retains a considerable look of the past.
Song Shi walked around with great interest for a while, and really felt the strong festive atmosphere. The shops along the street were filled with Rocale's traditional ornaments such as sun coats of arms and orange flags.
To be more precise, these are all holographic projections - the city government has distributed a bunch of free holographic projection models, and requires shops in the streets and alleys to download them into their own holographic billboards to highlight the arrival of the Sun Celebration. .
“You’ve been following me for so long, and you still don’t want to talk?”
Until a certain moment, at the entrance of a remote and dilapidated alley, Song Shi suddenly stopped.
He tilted his head and looked behind.
After a brief period of calm, a man disguised as a passerby came out of a rusty old car that had been parked on the roadside for an unknown period of time and was covered with dust.
His clothes are not luxurious, just ordinary casual clothes. He also wears a down jacket with a built-in electric heating device and artificial down stuffing - the latter is considered the most popular in Casting Light City. Types of clothing.
"——Name, origin, intention."
Song Shi stood still, glanced at the man, and said concisely: "Run or die."
Hearing the other party's words, The man who was still considering his words raised his hands in an instant: "Wait, wait, wait! I mean no harm! No harm at all!"
Seeing that the young man was unmoved and seemed to be about to raise his fingers, the man took a deep breath and said seriously.
“—You are ‘Nandou’, Song Shi, right?”
