The noisy raindrops hit the cheap umbrellas.

Petite Liz raised her head and glanced at the sky outside the transparent umbrella.

The petals of white jasmine flowers flutter in the wind and mix with the flowing raindrops.

Not far away from the white jasmine sea and close to the road, people wearing mayor's guard uniforms and exoskeleton mechas were quickly building a simple giant electronic screen.

The swimming crowd seemed to be slowly changing direction, leading her body towards the door of the Mayor's Mansion.

The leader in front was waving flags and guiding the parade around corners.

Liz withdrew her gaze, raised her wrist, and glanced down.

What caught her eyes was a circle of white marks, which were the marks left by her long-term wearing of the smart bracelet.

Her bracelets were taken away, not just from hers, but also from most of the people who came to work part-time.

Only the people standing on the outside of the team are still wearing normal bracelets and even extra Bluetooth headsets.

But obviously, these people and their part-time workers are not the same.

She raised her head and glanced at the banner opposing the mayor that was raised above her head.

Before she came, she didn't know that the march was against the mayor.

Although she had guessed it was probably a parade before, she didn't think about it in this regard.

Many parades in Yilan City will be held in front of the White Jasmine Palace, because this place is lively and close to the White Jasmine Palace, which can easily attract news media to watch.

She doesn't mind coming here to make some money for an ordinary parade, but she definitely doesn't want to participate in a protest against the mayor.

She is not against the mayor, but she is not a supporter of the mayor either.

The reason why she didn't want to participate was also very simple. Once she got involved in this kind of demonstration against the mayor, it would be easy to get contaminated with things that shouldn't be involved, and even lead to danger.

In fact, most of the people standing in the middle have the same mentality as her. They don't care much about politics or who is the mayor. They just work a part-time job to subsidize the family or make a living.

And this is probably the reason why the organizers were reluctant to reveal the specific ‘work content’ at first, because once it was revealed that it was a demonstration against the mayor, the price might not be able to attract so many people, and the secret might be leaked.

Sure enough, as Ini said, prices that far exceed the market average always involve risks.

But based on this calculation, for such a high-risk job, they should charge a higher price than they do now in order to recruit the right talent.

No money was made, but more risks were taken, these bastards.

Liz turned her head and glanced at the surrounding 'personnel' surrounding them.

These people are very professional, they have blocked all escape routes, and they seem to have a violent attitude. They are probably recruited gang members.

They can subdue themselves with one hand.

If it weren't for the vicious group of people outside and the bracelet being taken away, she would have run away long ago.

These bastards have figured it out.

Cursing secretly in her heart again, Liz lowered her head, continued to take a deep breath, and blended in the crowd, trying not to attract attention to herself or let the photographers around her who looked like reporters capture her face.

Now she just hopes that everything goes well and those bastards can give her the money and return the bracelet to her.

Although she bought the bracelet second-hand, the quality was very good and the system was smooth. It cost her a full one hundred federal dollars, and it was one of the few 'precious electrical appliances' she had.

If it was robbed by this group of people, she would have to buy a new one, which would cost at least more than one hundred federal dollars. Adding this week's rent, it would be close to two hundred federal dollars.

After deducting the money spent on buying medicines for my father and mother... I hope there will be more hard bread in the supermarket tomorrow morning.

Half a piece of bread with cold water should be enough to fill you up. If you eat it twice a day, it should be enough. If you don't eat it at night, it will be regarded as losing weight.

I hope last week’s wages can be sent out before next week.

If not, she would have no choice but to borrow a salary loan.

8% interest per week is really a greedy vampire.

She raised her hand and rubbed her cheek. In the noisy and chaotic environment, the woman slightly shrugged the tip of her nose.

He did indeed do something stupid.

The crowd squirming forward slowly stopped, and the shouts in the parade continued.

"The restricted area ahead, please stop."

Members of the Mayor's Guard stood at the edge of the street in the rain, blocking the march from moving forward. Behind these members of the Mayor's Guard was a huge screen that had been set up.

Because of the momentum of the parade, most of the spectators around them gave way to them.

This allowed everyone in the parade to squeeze into a good seat in the front row.

When the crowd stopped completely, Liz raised her head and stared at the huge screen in front of her.

The swimming jasmine flowers swayed in front of the screen, and a little light lit up on the screen, as if the system was self-checking.

Liz turned around and looked behind her.

Some of the people standing at the back were looking up at the screen, while others picked up their bracelets.

It seems that this speech is synchronized across the entire network. You can also see the mayor's speech by visiting the official website on the bracelet.

The surrounding sounds seemed to gradually quiet down, and even the noisy noise seemed to be smaller.

Even the people who roared the loudest in the parade were watching the screen at the moment, looking forward to the changes on the screen.

After a short wait, followed by a flash, an old man wearing a gray suit, sitting behind a marble table, with his back against an old window and simple curtains, appeared on the screen.

Liz stared at the simple decoration of the room on the screen.

In fact, this was the first time she heard the mayor's speech and saw the mayor's complete appearance.

Most of the time in the past, she couldn't care about these, she was either working or on the way to work.

But she didn't know why, but when she saw the scene on the screen in front of her, she didn't feel too unfamiliar.

Although the heavy marble table exuded an ancient atmosphere, the lightly carved walls vaguely showed the expensive luxury.

But with the simple windows, curtains, and plain books, that office seemed to be just an ordinary room.

The old man sitting behind the stone table looked level with them. Although he was majestic, he was also kind. He seemed not much different from the elders in the family.

For some reason, Liz's heart gradually calmed down. She stared at the old man, waiting for him to speak.

She couldn't help but want to hear what the old man would say.

Ninwis District

"Look over there."

In the alleyway between the staggered low-rise buildings, the walking crowd raised their eyes and looked in the direction above their heads with shouts of surprise.

The little boy who had just walked out of the small door raised his head, followed the gazes of the people around him, and looked at the huge billboard in the distance.

It was already a huge advertising screen. In addition to adult products, it was usually a huge advertising screen for striptease bars or underground loan advertisements. At this moment, it seemed that it had finally changed its tone and turned into a "waiting for live broadcast" pattern.

"What does waiting for the live broadcast mean? Live broadcast of the mayor's speech? What does the mayor have to do with us? Is there any brand that has come up with fresh advertisements?"

Questions came from the crowd in confusion.

The little boy's eyes also fell on the unclear line of 'explanation' below the text waiting for the live broadcast.

[From White Jasmine Palace, the live broadcast of the mayor’s speech is currently connected...]

mayor···

The boy took a deep breath, held the medicine in his arms, held up his umbrella, and ran quickly in the alley full of small puddles.

As he ran, people heard the news one after another, or opened the door, or walked to the balcony, looking up at the huge billboard above their heads.

Nancheng Command Center

In the simply decorated office, the old general looked at the holographic projection map in front of him and at the various mechanical troops traveling through the wilderness simulated in the projection.

Several officers were standing respectfully beside him.

At this moment, he seemed to notice something, raised his head and looked forward.

A large screen hidden on the wall was opening in front of him. What was on the screen was the official website of the White Jasmine Palace, the Mayor's Palace of Yilan City.

At this moment, the entire web page was occupied by a huge video screen. The old man in the screen looked forward, seemingly looking at the people outside the screen. He slowly spoke,

"I'm glad I can still sit here today..."

Ninwis District

Jie Lin suddenly opened the door, took off his bracelet, clicked on the city government webpage that had been loaded on the bracelet, put the medicine in his hand aside, and placed the bracelet in front of his mother.

Then, under the confused gaze of his mother Zhaojia, he quickly picked up the flyer next to him and sat next to his mother.

The video on the bracelet was projected on the quilt, and the old man who had already started speaking appeared on the screen.

He slowly overlapped the simple image of the doctor on the flyer in his hand with the old man in the video.
