After the discussion that night, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner as planned by Lin Mo, Xu Wanxue and Knight.
Time passes little by little, and Night City is still Night City. This city seems to have never changed.
The big news that happened in this city before seemed not to exist, and it did not affect the operation of this city. Ordinary people were still working, committing crimes, and killing people, as they had been for decades.
The evidence of the crime committed by the new US President Miles has become an interesting anecdote among people, and the evidence and witnesses presented at the hearing still retain the charm of making people talk in their spare time.
In the past, this was quite unimaginable.
After all, the most indispensable thing in Night City is big news. In the past, no matter how popular an event was, it would gradually fade from people's minds after a few days or as long as ten days and a half.
However, this time the incidents related to Miles are similar to "when will the president step down", "selection of the new president", "the most charismatic presidential candidate", these types of news are still gaining popularity.
Behind these hot events, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands driving the spread of these news.
So much so that after more than a month, people can still hear in the news that "Myers has resigned and stepped down", "Myers is willing to stand trial" and "new presidential candidates have begun to build momentum" and so on.
The popularity of the related presidential candidate campaigns is also continuing to grow.
At this time, many Night City residents who were concerned about current political news were also surprised to find:
Solomon Reed, the "patriotic man" who practiced justice at the hearing and wanted to expose the president's crime even if he did not hesitate to expose himself, actually appeared on the TV screen.
He actually announced to the citizens of New America that he was prepared to participate in the presidential election, and began to appear on various screens to build momentum.
Because of his righteous actions in previous hearings and his impeccable resume during his time in the CIA, his reputation in public opinion polls is quite high.
Nowadays, many political scientists have begun to speculate that this former CIA agent and current presidential candidate, Mr. Solomon Reed, has a high probability of winning this presidential election and becoming the new president.
They also provided a lot of basis for their inferences. The first is Mr. Li De's campaign slogan - "Let citizens enjoy equal rights."
He will never deceive the people like his predecessor Myers did, nor will he plunge New America into chaos again. After taking office, he will definitely respect the citizens' right to know.
Not only that, Li De also fulfilled his promise.
He contacted two companies, Kangtao and Arasaka, and used his influence to negotiate with these two companies all night long. He forced them to modify their working hours without changing their salary.
Next, we got half an hour of rest time for the employees.
Li De has indeed protected the rights of citizens!
This kind of move has also made countless New American citizens who work in Kangtao and Arasaka companies in New America grateful. This operation alone has won the hearts of countless people.
After that, even if other candidates contact the corporate power behind them and make similar operations to Li De, New American citizens will think that it was Li De who set the precedent.
He is the real presidential candidate who loves his people like his own son!
If all goes well, the whole process will be like the inertia of historical legends - the new king defeats the old king and becomes the new ruler of the kingdom.
As the person who gave the former president a "fatal blow", Li De is undoubtedly the new "winner" in the public's mind, and he should probably become the new president.
However, as time goes by, although the presidential election campaign is in full swing, in Night City, a cultural melting pot, and in various urban areas where Chinese people gather, there is another anticipated festival quietly taking place.
arrival.
...
...
Fiery red lanterns and colorful decorations began to fill the streets where Chinese people live, and many neon lights and holographic projections were replaced with festive colors.
A warm atmosphere began to permeate the neighborhood, and traces of warm human touch began to reverberate in this cold city.
Even some residents of Night City who don't understand Chinese customs have imitated them. Vendors and companies who are looking for business opportunities will naturally not miss this opportunity to promote consumption.
They use various slogans such as "prosthetic discounts", "insurance promotions" and "New Year's lottery", and the top prize can be "a platinum member of the trauma team for one year", trying to attract those citizens who do not have deep pockets to participate in this rare opportunity.
consumption during the festival.
However, behind these festive atmosphere, there is still an undercurrent surging.
Gangs, big and small, all over the city suddenly started to act collectively for some unknown reason.
Led by the largest gangs, dozens of gangs invariably dispatched their elite combat forces in batches near the company square, as if to start a top-notch battle among the gangs in Night City.
As for the small gangs, they also came out in full force, pretending to be ordinary people and started wandering around the company square, trying to make profits in the upcoming "mysterious event".
Various strange phenomena also caused an inexplicable news to spread in the underworld of Night City.
——On the occasion of the upcoming Chinese New Year, a big battle on the road will take place in the company square. As long as everyone involved can survive, there will be a lot of income.
These unknown sources of information naturally attracted the attention of many company intelligence departments.
However, since these gang fighters were silent for the time being, they just pretended to be ordinary people and wandered around the company square, acting like "I am a good citizen", so they could not get any useful clues in a short period of time.
So, one day in February 2077, a group of people gathered in the small studio building in Santo Domingo.
...
...
"Is everyone here?"
Lin Mo put his hands on the head of the conference table, leaned forward majestically, and calmly glanced at everyone gathered in the hall.
V, Johnny Silverhand, David, members of Mann's team, Jack, Hiroshi Kitagawa, Lucy, Sasha, Rebecca...all the marginalized people he has known so far are all here today.
Everyone's face looked ready at this time, and their eyes revealed curiosity, expectation and playfulness.
Many people who were kept in the dark were very curious about Lin Mo's intention of calling them all here.
However, for some old people, this scene is not surprising. After all, they have seen this scene in the past - the boy stood at the head of the conference table and then issued tasks to them in an orderly manner.
Each task is often different, but together it must be a major event that affects the entire Night City!
"Everyone is here, Mr. Lin, you can explain the details of the plan to them." Kitagawa Hao, who was sitting next to him, nodded slightly.
Lin Mo nodded with a smile, cleared his throat, and said comfortably and easily:
"Well everyone, from now on, we should have a good year."
