Chapter 500 He's Different
In the blink of an eye, it's another new day.
Today is sunny with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius.
This is a great day to accomplish something big.
After a day of intensive preparations, the municipal center square is now in perfect condition.
Reporters from various newspapers and television stations accepted the mayor's invitation to witness this momentous news event.
The entire event will be broadcast live, without editing or rehearsal.
Furthermore, it will be projected onto plaza screens throughout the city, with all traffic being directed towards this live stream.
The reporters present each had their own agendas, all having received instructions from their superiors to probe the spokesperson.
After all, Huijing Meike's situation was no longer a secret among the higher-ups due to the mayor's notification.
It's a real situation that everyone is on edge. After all, even with TOPS being so large, they wouldn't dare say they could suppress Void Zero once.
That suddenly appearing powerhouse was so strong it was unreasonable, putting immense psychological pressure on me.
Shortly after, Su Chen arrived in formal attire and calmly walked onto the stage.
He dressed up a little today, wearing a bespoke suit from Victoria Housekeeping, which made him look elegant and sharp, exuding an elite aura as sharp as a knife.
His pupils were the color of molten gold, and his majesty and power were like that of a giant dragon.
His hairstyle also changed from the original slightly parted and choppy hair to a more serious side-parted slicked-back hairstyle.
Although it's still the same face, to someone unfamiliar with him, it's absolutely unbelievable that the ordinary Su Chen and the current Su Chen are the same person.
The previously noisy venue suddenly fell silent.
Many important figures who were absorbing information through the screen also tacitly put down what they were doing, stared at the man, but dared not meet his gaze.
His gaze today was cold and sharp, like a knife, sending chills down their spines.
That was a completely different style from the kind and humorous young people in his previous photos.
But the important figures took this imposing demeanor for granted.
Yes, that's how a strong person should be.
This is in line with the person who tyrannically drafted the Idinney Acquisition Act.
Other citizens watching the live stream were very curious.
They seemed to have never seen such a young and important figure before; if they had, they would definitely be impressed by this sharp and handsome man.
They didn't understand what kind of important event such a big figure had to announce that warranted such a city-wide live broadcast.
The TOPS announcements aren't working, and now even the battle reports from the Void Hunt aren't working.
It's only common for public resources to be used during a mayoral change, so that everyone can at least get to know the new mayor.
So, has the mayor changed again?
Although the time hasn't come yet, the citizens are very dissatisfied with Huijing Meike's recent actions, and it seems like they would like to have a different mayor to fight TOPS.
"Dear citizens watching the live broadcast, and fellow journalists."
Su Chen glanced around and said calmly, "Good morning, everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all here."
"Some people know my identity very well, while others may not. I am Su Chen, the real Su Chen, the person behind all those fake pictures that went viral online recently."
Oh, it was him!
The citizens suddenly realized that they knew this.
No wonder it looks so good, no wonder the scale of the event is so grand.
If it's the Heavenly Fire Sword Master who suppressed the Zero Void, then it's not surprising, it's not surprising at all.
"I'm here to announce a few things."
Su Chen continued, "This concerns your future lives, so please listen carefully."
The citizens took it more seriously, while the reporters had various expressions.
A sense of tension involuntarily arose in my heart.
Whether they knew in advance or not, everyone understood that this press conference was unusual.
"First, Huijingmeike's false marketing and malicious market manipulation some time ago caused huge psychological and financial losses to the citizens of New Ailidu, and had an irreversible and significant negative impact on market trust."
This also infringes on my patent for a new anti-ether erosion drug and endangers the health of citizens.
Based on the above points, I hereby announce a compulsory takeover bid for Huijingmeike at a price of one tinni.
"Some people may wonder what new drug I developed, thinking that I have made false accusations against Huijingmeike. In fact, my new drug was handed over to the agency of Jiaotu House for sale a few months ago. Those who have used it should know its effects. Friends from companies like Baizhi Heavy Industry, the Anti-Air Department, and many motorcycle enthusiasts on the outer ring should have used it."
"I won't say much about the slander against Rabbit House online; the municipal government will take responsibility for it. The miracle drug that Huijingmeike mentioned on the show is also my new drug. As for their self-developed drug, it's still inside that hide-and-seek mouse."
"That's the first thing, the Idinney Takeover Act."
He paused briefly, waiting for his subordinates to receive the information.
He knows that many forces are watching him today, for better or for worse.
But it doesn't matter, they just need to accept reality.
"What!!?"
The citizens looked at each other in disbelief, utterly shocked.
The news was too shocking, whether it was the new drug or the acquisition of Huijingmeike.
However, while they were still pondering, a reporter who already knew stepped forward to ask them questions.
He boldly questioned, "Mr. Su Chen, is this considered embezzlement of private property? If you can acquire Huijing Meike for one tinni today, can you acquire other citizens' properties for one tinni tomorrow?"
“I don’t think so. After the acquisition, Huijing Meike will devote itself entirely to public welfare and will no longer be profit-driven.” Su Chen was not stung by the sharp voice: “Apart from the operating expenses, all revenue will be used to improve the welfare of citizens, and I will jointly supervise this with the municipal government.”
"At the same time, I have great respect for the fate of others. If it weren't for what happened recently, I wouldn't have this bill, and I wouldn't even be here meeting with you all."
The citizens smiled knowingly.
But they are not worried about being acquired by Idinney.
What major businesses do they own that would attract the attention of such a powerful figure?
The recent incident caused quite a stir; even if they themselves weren't scammed, their relatives and friends certainly weren't spared.
As for Huijing Meike, all I can say is that he died a good death.
A reporter from TOPS stepped forward and asked, "Aren't you afraid that doing this will cause turmoil within TOPS?"
"I'm a little scared. Why don't you ask them to come and beat me up?"
Facing the camera, Su Chen said very honestly, "If a hundred of them came, I would be beaten to death."
You're kidding me, Heavenly Fire Sword Master, you're really wicked!
The reporter dared not declare war and could only say, "TOPS is the cornerstone of the new Elidu, and you should have basic respect for it."
"The citizens are the foundation of the new Elidu." Su Chen raised his fist. He smiled and said, "I say, long live the people! Who agrees, who disagrees?"
"..."
The reporters retreated; who would dare to openly oppose that?
Even he felt a flutter in his heart, his heart pounding, and he wanted to slide down to his knees at Su Chen's jeans.
After all, he's just a beast of burden, not the master of TOPS.
The citizens watching the live broadcast felt something different; a surge of warmth welled up inside them.
This person seemed to be glowing; he said, "Long live the people!" Sigh!
Even if it's just a slogan, this is the first one to be shouted out.
And judging from the promises made earlier, this person seems different.
