Chapter 169: Straight up(1/2)
"Congressman Tommy, please understand. The current situation is a very serious matter for us."
In a high-end hotel in AU state, Diego looked serious and was surrounded by members of his faction. Everyone stared at Tommy angrily. Tommy was going to marry a woman in the special service industry. This matter had already been announced.
It became a hot topic.
Many rival factions were criticizing this incident, and many media were also involved. The matter could not be settled now. Tommy lit a cigarette, took off his coat, and rolled up his sleeves.
"Is this why you came to me?"
Diego said angrily.
"In just three days, this matter has already escalated and you have become a laughing stock in the circle. Did you know that?"
Tommy laughed disapprovingly. Of course he knew that this matter was already spreading. No matter where he went, there would be a lot of reporters following him, wanting to ask Tommy what he thought about marrying a man in the slums.
Here, a woman in the special service industry who does not do her job.
Everything about Selena is constantly being uncovered. She lived with a man who was a gang member right after graduating from high school, and assisted the man in committing multiple thefts and even robberies, as well as some violent acts.
Selena even spent several years in jail, and later went to work in a supermarket after she was released. However, because of her criminal record, she was not welcomed at work, and she had conflicts with colleagues at work, and was eventually beaten.
Injured a colleague.
Moreover, it was an extremely serious injury, which caused Selena to owe a large amount of money to the bank. After Selena's debt was repaid, she went to work in the special services industry in the slums.
Many people say that for such a troubled woman, if Tommy really becomes president, the entire country will become a laughing stock.
Especially the critics, factional MPs, and many famous people all regarded this matter as a joke.
Tommy has spoken out in interviews with reporters these days. He only claimed that he loves this woman. She does have a disgraceful past, but it is only the past, not the present, and not the future, and many women are forced to do so because they cannot survive.
I have no choice but to go into this kind of industry.
Such remarks further stimulated many factional councilors, who tried their best to hype up the matter and planned to completely put Tommy and his faction to death.
Now the entire faction is in dire straits, people are constantly looking for trouble for them, and even businessmen who were friends with these factions before are starting to draw boundaries between Qing and them.
Tommy stood up with a smile, picked up a bottle of wine, poured a glass and took a comfortable sip.
"Relax everyone, it's not as serious as everyone thinks."
"It's not serious. We're screwed this time, you know Tommy? If you do this, we'll be screwed."
Tommy laughed, then shook his head.
"Perhaps the truth will not be as bad as you think. The group of people who are speaking out now have the right to speak. They are qualified to say everything they think. But what about us? We have very little right to speak, so I only speak from my heart.
The most real feeling."
Diego pressed his forehead in annoyance, and there was nothing the others could do. This matter was now in a difficult situation, and Tommy would not even participate in the presidential election in the future, and even their faction would be finished along with it.
"You bastard, do you want to kill us?"
Tommy laughed.
"Okay, if everything is alright, I have to go back to the neighborhood and talk to the people there."
Tommy drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then put down the glass and was about to leave, when Diego said angrily.
"You immediately give up the election and directly say that you are unable to continue the election because you are sick."
Tommy turned his head and glanced at the people in the room, then shook his head.
"I will not give up the election. This is the only chance in my life."
Diego looked at Tommy in astonishment. Now Tommy was obedient and submissive. Now he was completely different from the same person.
"Are you crazy Tommy, do you want to take us all to the grave?"
Tommy laughed.
"So you just want to get a seat in Congress? You just want to rely on this status to continuously make money for yourself, and you have never thought about the real battlefield?"
Tommy's words stimulated everyone present. One by one, they stood up, pointed at Tommy and cursed angrily. Tommy was unmoved. His mind was filled with scenes of getting along with Gene during this period.
It was Gene who taught Tommy that many things are not solved overnight, and many problems must be solved with powerful means.
Now Tommy is in good condition. He knows very well that he will definitely reverse everything, because those who speak are only 1% of the people who have the right to speak in the country. There are more people behind the screen who have no voice and are watching.
This is what they call a farce.
"Don't forget Tommy, who promoted you, who gave you so much..."
Bang.
"Yes, you promoted me so that I could come up, but have you ever considered it? How much profit have I made for the entire faction? I have solved many problems. Did you come forward to solve these problems? There are even many difficulties
Who solved the problem in the end? I didn’t live up to your expectations, right?”
Diego was stunned, and Tommy directly picked up the wine glass and poured a glass of wine. After taking a big sip, he smashed the wine glass on the table.
"Have you never thought about the possibility? What is the purpose of the existence of factions? Isn't it for the pinnacle of power? Is it just to wag its tail like a dog and beg for mercy, get a few seats in Congress, and use these to make money? Then
It’s better to stop using such factions and join GHD or MZD.”
There was silence in the room, everyone looked at Tommy, he took a sip of wine and continued.
"Please shut up and do what I said in the next election. Now it's too late for you no matter what you do. You want good results but don't dare to work hard. So let me ask you, what do you want me to do? I am now
I’m risking my life for the entire faction, but what about you? Just don’t support me, so why don’t you interfere with me?”
Diego was stunned, and everyone said nothing. Tommy drank the wine and turned away. He returned to his room angrily and was already a little drunk.
"Are you okay?"
As soon as she entered, Selina leaned over and supported Tommy charmingly. He sighed and nodded with a smile. After getting along for a week, Selena also felt Tommy's sincerity. He was indeed not what Selena thought.
Does she have any special hobbies? She is also very gentle to Selena. Although she has certain needs every day, it is normal.
"How about I make you feel more comfortable?"
Selina smiled, Tommy lay down, and Selina helped hold his waist.
"Why don't I go with you first?"
Selena lowered her head. The news and public opinion these days made her very depressed for a time, but Tommy slowly enlightened Selina, and Selina herself adapted. She didn't care what other people said, she felt it from the bottom of her heart.
Li decided to follow this man.
After a while, Tommy held Selena comfortably. It was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Tommy got up to take a shower. Then Selena also started to put on makeup and change clothes. She had to go to a banquet tonight to eat with the bosses in the ghetto.
Then the contract was officially signed and Tommy had to go to the next place.
The bosses of the next place were ready to receive them, and Tommy knew very well that as long as he won all the ghettos, plus some other people's votes, he would definitely become the president.
When it was close to 5 o'clock, the two of them appeared in the neighborhood. This time Tommy brought a lot of security guards. After briefly answering some questions from reporters, he went directly to the place to eat.
After the meal, the bosses all nodded in agreement. They also understood Tommy's purpose in doing this. Many bosses wanted to seize such an opportunity.
After all, for most bosses, such an opportunity is very large, and many of them have gradually figured it out.
In order to prevent fraud, current elections are directly integrated into a huge AI election system. No one can change the results, not even the company where the AI works.
This mechanism started more than 100 years ago. Many political parties came together to implement this mechanism. The results of the elections are very fair, and the congressmen will work hard to win votes every time.
However, many congressmen failed to fulfill their promises after taking office. Many people had no choice but to repeat the same mistakes again and again. This kind of thing made many people tired of elections.
Many times, many people elect just based on their own mood and vote for the person they like. Most people have this attitude.
Tommy shouted, raising his glass.
"Thank you everyone for your understanding and support. My wife and I toast to everyone."
A group of leaders stood up one after another. For Tommy, this group of people is an important cornerstone of the future. They will not be as complicated as those elites. As long as they can live a stable and happy life, Tommy will take care of the power matters.
After the pleasant drinking party, several assistants came over and told Tommy that some other ghetto bosses had sent contacts, hoping that Tommy would come over to talk and then sign a contract.
In the entire circle of gang members, many people now support Tommy. Tommy just needs to go through the process. Tommy knows very well that it will not be long before his vote share will skyrocket, because the people have had enough.
of hypocrisy.
After returning to the hotel, Tommy hugged Selena and went to sleep. Now Tommy was sleeping soundly without playing. The same was true for Selena. She never thought that her life would usher in such a big reversal. She
Just 23 years old.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Tommy got up amidst a loud ringing of the doorbell. Selena smiled happily at the side. After the two kissed, Tommy got up in his pajamas. As soon as he opened the door, Diego and the others looked shocked.
Selena hurriedly went to another room and closed the door.
