Bulwark of Light

Chapter 156
Gu Shen supported his forehead and sat up slowly.

Is all this really a dream?

He couldn't believe it, and he couldn't accept it... The flying sand, wild grass, dust and smoke blowing in his face, and the roaring and roaring engine when he left Dadu were all too real.

"Don't even think about going out today."

Nan Jin turned on the projection light curtain in the ward, "The teacher told you to rest in the ward before you recover from your injury... Mental injury is not a trivial matter."

"I'm fine."

Gu Shen shook his head, his voice was difficult: "What's more, the nomination of candidate members is about to start..."

The light curtain flashes the loading interface of the deep sea link——

"The nomination ceremony for candidate members will be broadcast live online." Nan Jin said, "You can watch it here."

"...Is that so?"

Gu Shen smiled wryly, and gave up the idea of ​​struggling to sit up.

He lay obediently on the hospital bed, watched the countdown to the nomination ceremony on the light curtain, and silently called Chu Ling's name a few times in his heart.

no respond.

……

……

There are nine districts in Dongzhou, five districts in Jiangbei, and four districts in Jiangnan. Among them, Nagano and Dadu are the two core areas of Jiangbei and Jiangnan respectively, with absolute right to speak and parliamentary status.

Twenty seats assigned to Dongzhou.

Nagano and Dadu each have one more seat than the other districts.

It's just that... the seat of the third councilor in Dadu has been vacant for ten years.In fact, everyone knew that the vacancy of this position was related to a serious case that year.

Old Town, Lion Lane Case.

Huazhi's largest shareholder, Lu Cheng, collapsed in a dead corner of surveillance, with no witnesses and no clues... The man who should have been the third member of parliament in Dadu died, and there was no suitable candidate for the seat.

Such a delicate balance has been maintained for most of the past ten years.

Huaqi and Nanwan, well water does not interfere with river water, coexist peacefully with each other, and even jointly created the "Sincerity Club" to digest the contradictions in the ground.

In recent years, this balance has been very difficult to maintain.

Zhao Xilai is getting older and older. Although the banner is big, it is already the end of the day... The only successor "Zhao Qi" is not worthy of virtue, and it is impossible to take over such a huge foundation.

However, although the momentum of Nanwan is small, it is gradually rising and rising, and there is a vague appearance of confrontation.

Both sides do not want a third member of parliament to be born...neither want to take the risk of losing the seat of the member of parliament and add help to the other side in vain, nor do they want a "third party" who is evenly matched to steal the achievements of the two parties and take advantage of the seat of the member of parliament , forming a tripartite confrontation in Dadu and Huazhi Nanwan.

But now.

Due to the Awakening Act, most of the nominations for the third member of Parliament... can no longer be delayed.

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent.

But on such a stressful day——

On the top floor of Huaqi Building, a party was held, and the high-level figures in the group received invitations. They were invited to the top floor to participate in today's "feast". In the reception venue, there are dining cars, champagne, cakes, desserts... It is hard to imagine that today is the much-anticipated "Nomination Day for Candidate Members".

Logically speaking, the atmosphere today should be tense.

But the people present were not at all nervous... Because Mr. Zhao, who has been hidden in the field all year round, unexpectedly came to the reception for the first time today. It is said that the reception was organized according to his orders.

Cui Zhongzhong pushed the wheelchair and stood by his side.

The high-ranking elites took turns toasting to the "Godfather", and the aged congressman smiled kindly, kissed each other's cheeks, and whispered his blessings.

Behind the banner hangs on the wall.

"We perform miracles."

This is the consistent creed of Huazhi, and it is indeed the case... Huazhi has created too many miracles in these years. In this building, the power of countless elites gathered together. progress of this era.

Virtual reality glasses, holographic helmets, LIFI technology... even if it is just a small step.

It also changed everyone's life.

Huaqi Group is already a well-known oligarch in the field of electronic information in Wuzhou.

For those in the know, when they raise their glasses, the corners of their lips can't help but rise a bit higher than usual.

They know what that banner really means today.

Today is the day of the candidates for election——

This reception is a celebration banquet.

An early celebration of the Lady nomination, as well as the win.

According to the nomination process of candidate members in previous years, after nominations from both parties, they will each explain their own ideas and ideas, as well as long-term and short-term plans after taking office... Of course, the most important issue for candidate members this year is the "Awakening Bill" take a stand.

No matter in terms of strength, status, or influence.

Nanwan's candidates for parliamentarians can't fight Madam... This is not a fair fight at all.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating the victory in advance.

Suddenly an "uninvited guest" broke into the venue.

"Wait a minute...no entry without an invitation..."

The voices of the two Transcendents guarding the venue were overshadowed by the sound of crutches falling——

All eyes were directed towards the entrance of the reception.

An old man in a white suit with a dragon's head and a cane, walking windily, with a calm and majestic expression, walked slowly into the reception with an imposing aura of unrelated people retreating at the same speed.

"Tree."

Zhao Xilai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and called out the title of Zhou Jiren affectionately in front of everyone.

Tree--

The sound landed.

All the people who participated in this reception, saw the old man's face clearly during this period, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

This is the chief adjudicator of the Dongzhou Tribunal!
Mr. Shu also nodded with a smile, and when he showed his smile, the anger and prestige disappeared for a moment.

Sometimes he is like a Bodhisattva, sometimes he is like Yama.

"Today is a big day..."

Zhou Jiren came to Mr. Zhao's side, looked at the countdown on the projected light curtain at the reception, and said with a soft smile, "Little girl Lu Nanzhi is about to stand for election, how can I miss it?"

Cui Zhongzhong pushed his glasses silently.

Mr. Congressman did not speak, and it was not his turn to say anything.

The old man in the wheelchair watched his eyes, nose, nose, and heart, not knowing what he was thinking...

"It's so risky, I didn't have an invitation card before... I almost squeezed in." Zhou Jiren picked up a goblet, poured a glass of wine himself, and said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, good wine... You have already Starting to celebrate early?"

Zhao Xilai's eyelids drooped, and he just smiled.

If there is no invitation, it is naturally not welcome.

Everyone understands this truth, but the old guy can't resist pretending to be confused... and his special identity is not convenient to expose.

"Since we're here, let's witness history together."

Zhao Xilai swung the wine in the goblet, took a sip, and said softly, "I'm also happy for Lu Nanzhi to have today."
