Chapter 466 Deep Virtual 304
The hands of time ticked by.
On the eve of his formal speech, Xie Ning, whose schedule was packed, managed to take time out from one important meeting after another.
The Federation is a behemoth with countless agencies and departments, and large and small conglomerates clinging to it. In the past, the Federation had very little real autonomy.
But now, with the largest conglomerate in her hands, the federal government is no longer a mere formality. She wants to transform it from a tool for extracting profits into a service organization with legally mandated powers and responsibilities, rather than something that can be negotiated by conglomerates.
"The venue is ready, please come this way."
Xie Ning was the last candidate to deliver a campaign speech. Before her, the other candidates had already presented their visions of a bright future and made solemn promises.
As with previous campaign speeches, politicians are masters of making empty promises. They greatly stir up public passion and gain people's support, but only they know when the promises will be fulfilled.
"You could have easily taken that position, so why did you bother running for office?" Moss didn't quite understand this; to it, such behavior seemed like hypocritical politeness.
Xie Ning adjusted the device at her collar and said calmly, "Perhaps you think this is just hypocritical pretense, but I believe it's about setting an example. The collapse of order is easy, but rebuilding it is difficult. I cannot be the first person to destroy the order."
Therefore, she proceeded with a methodical and peaceful transition of power.
Moss didn't speak again, but instead extended his mental tentacles into the communication wristbands of every citizen, creating a massive online forum filled with discussions about the presidential election.
Headline: "Finally, we get to see Councilor Xie on stage! We've been waiting for so long!"
First floor: 111, someone come quick! dd!
1st floor: Haha, here it comes! I've been waiting too. When the online election was being held, I mobilized my whole family to vote, but I was always afraid that those big shots would pull some shady tricks and oust Councilor Xie.
2nd floor (original poster) replied to 1st floor: Me too, but I saw the results after the voting deadline yesterday, so I'm relieved. It's a clear first place!
3rd Floor: Why is nobody here? I'll help bump this thread. I've been following the election news live the whole time. Compared to before, there are quite a few young people this time. In any case, they're better than the white-bearded old men. Whether they can do anything or not, they're pleasing to the eye.
Reply from 4th floor to 3rd floor: The older ones have more experience. Those younger ones lack management skills, and most importantly, they can't control their subordinates. Who knows, they might be people pushed out by those tycoons. They're too lazy to even pretend anymore.
5th Floor: I agree with 4th Floor's opinion, but I blindly support Councilor Xie. She recently went head-to-head with several pharmaceutical conglomerates. I know some rumors that Councilor Xie has been assassinated several times, both openly and secretly, because she threatened their interests... Although it's possible that Councilor Xie also has conglomerates behind her, like the Shen family, at least she gets things done. The promises she makes today will be fulfilled tomorrow. All I can say is, it's really tempting!
6th Floor: LOL, your pie-in-the-sky theory is hilarious. But to be honest, when I watched the Autumn Council meeting, I only thought Xie Ning was trying to grab attention. I didn't expect that not long after, the small council passed the proposed amendments to the labor law. My uncle broke his leg in the factory three years ago and has not received any compensation. As soon as the new labor law came out, the government opened a special channel to help people like my uncle protect their rights. In the end, the compensation came down and even tripled.
Reply from post #6 to post #7: Not only that, the federal health department has also joined forces with Ruining Pharmaceuticals to bring down drug prices on the market. Drug prices are now only one-third of what they used to be, and it is said that prices will be reduced further, but I don't know if that's true.
Reply from post #8 to post #5: I am a classmate of Councilor Xie. She has no other identity, and I don't think she has a wealthy family background. She is an orphan and is always the most active in getting scholarships. Of course, her academic performance is also excellent.
9th Floor: Speaking of this orphan, I remember that Councilor Xie proposed new management regulations for welfare homes. In the past, anyone could open a welfare home and adopt children, but now that's not allowed. They have to go through an approval process, and every now and then, the children in the welfare home will undergo psychological evaluations. You know, there are always some disgusting people who prey on children.
10th floor replying to 9th floor: Holy crap, speaking of this, I have to mention a welfare home in Moonshadow Bay. Did you know that the director of that welfare home was arrested? I heard that he not only privately trained pretty children to be sent to the beds of some big shots, but also sold children's organs.
11th floor: You beast, did the court sentence him to death?
12th floor: He didn't die. It's said he was sent to participate in clinical trials.
13th floor: That's great. I hope that old man never dies.
14th floor: Add 1.
......
Floor 101: Great news! Great news! The final results are in! Cheney has been successfully elected as the Ninth Federal President!
