Chapter 946 The Silent War (please vote for the big chapter)(1/2)

Chapter 947 The Silent War (please vote for the big chapter)

"Finally done."

After typing the last word, Yi Ni raised her head, leaned on the office chair, and stretched out comfortably.

She looked at the few colleagues around her who were still working hard in the small office.

This large, narrow office, simple desks, computers brought by employees, and the small office of the boss and editor-in-chief separated by partitions in the corner are all the offices of their small newspaper.

Among all the colleagues here, there are only two or three older ones who are regular workers, and the rest, like Yi Ni, are interns.

Normally, a company would not have so many interns.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that the boss’s purpose of using so many interns is to recruit people who can do the most work at the lowest salary.

Once the internship period is over, you can either agree to the boss's request for a salary cut and become a full-time employee at a very low salary, just like those "regular employees".

Either he was fired by his boss on the grounds that he was not qualified for the job, and then he went to the market to trick new interns into joining him on the pretext of high wages.

As early as the end of the first month here, Yi Ni had already understood the secret behind it through the sharing of her colleagues.

But she has no choice. Even if it is such a low-paying internship, it is extremely difficult to find it now. She cannot lose this job.

And many 'colleagues' sitting in this office had to stay for the same reasons as her, and some even 'voluntarily' extended their internship period.

Even more, because her parents are able to help out and she doesn't have too much credit card debt, her situation is better than that of many of her colleagues.

As far as she knows, many of her colleagues here have at least five credit cards and are burdened with card debts from different credit card companies. Some even owe wages with a weekly interest rate of 7 to 8% and an annual interest rate of up to 400%.

loan.

And those thin "regular employees" also have high mortgage payments.

None of them can or dare to lose this job.

boom--

And just when Yi Ni was stretching, a loud noise came from the corner of the office, and the glass door of the small office in the originally closed corner was slammed open.

A short, fat man with golden round glasses looked at Yi Ni who was sitting on the chair, "Yini! Have you finished writing your press release!? What time is it now? Let me tell you.

When will it be sent to me?”

"Right away! Right now!"

Yi Ni was frightened and immediately sat up straight.

Her eyes quickly scanned the text on the screen, and she quickly checked the word order of the manuscript as well as the pictures and videos in the manuscript.

Then I quickly scanned it with the artificial intelligence review software purchased by the company, and after confirming that there were no issues with copyright, word order, typos, etc., I sent the document to the boss through the company's office software.

"I've sent it, I've sent it, boss, I've sent it to you."

The moment she put the document into the input box, Yi Ni quickly raised her hand and said quickly.

"If I see you being lazy again, your salary for today will be gone!"

The short, fat man snorted angrily, then glanced around and heard the sound. He carefully glanced at the surrounding employees who were looking over, and shouted, "What are you looking at? Are you okay? I can't finish my work today.

Then you have to wait until I finish the job before leaving!"

The surrounding employees shrank their heads and immediately looked away.

The short, fat man snorted coldly, stepped back half a step, and closed the door.

Seeing that the office software showed that the boss had received the file, Yi Ni breathed a sigh of relief.

It should take a few minutes for the boss to finish reading the document.

She raised her head, glanced at the file editing software, quickly pressed the keyboard, and used the shortcut keys to switch to the browser window.

All kinds of dense news and short video feeds suddenly flooded into her eyes.

Her eyes scanned these push notifications, which were all information pushed to her by the browser development company based on her personal preferences.

The most popular among them is the content with the entry #Mayor’s Speech#.

In the regional hot list of the search box on the side, the hot spot of 'Mayor's Speech' is also ranked first in the hot list of Yilan City. This proves that this speech is indeed widely spread, and many people pay attention to it, not just the mayor.

Hot spots that can only be seen in a small circle.

Of course, people like her who have searched for Mayor Lin En-related content will be pushed more relevant information.

Yi Ni's eyes scanned the dazzling array of information, some of which were already displayed in gray, indicating that she had already read them.

It was precisely because of reading these contents that she learned about the riots and attacks in front of the White Jasmine Palace, and she just made an urgent call to ask about Liz's situation.

Fortunately, Liz is still alive.

Glancing at the pushed information again, Yi Ni clicked on an article titled 'Mayor's Speech'.

Although the mayor's speech was indeed well-prepared, and Yi Ni herself was very concerned about it, Yi Ni has not watched the entire content of the speech, nor has she watched the replay video of the speech.

From last night to this morning, except for the phone call with Liz and the time to stretch just now, she had almost no rest, and she had been writing press releases.

As she clicked, this 'news article' about the content of the mayor's speech also appeared in front of her.

There is almost no other content in this article, only the transcript of the mayor's speech, and the name of the publisher is also very simple: Bai Moli Palace, the official account of the mayor's palace.

This is from the official speech delivered by the mayor's office.

In the few hours after the speech ended, this article had already been read 100,000 times.

Yi Ni's eyes scanned the speech.

The speech was very short and the layout was very concise. Yi Ni read the speech silently, sentence by sentence.

Those lines of short and powerful words seemed to have some kind of magical power. As she read each sentence silently, the emotions in her heart were gradually affected.

The faces of her parents, Liz, and the eleven-year-old boy Jielin who worked the night shift flashed through her mind.

The dense blocks of low-rise buildings and the people coming and going in this dilapidated block were outlined in her memories.

It was at this moment that she suddenly discovered that the gray-haired old man's face was reflected in the glasses of her colleague opposite her.

He also appeared to be watching a replay of the mayor's speech.

However, the colleague opposite did not turn on the sound, but was just reading the subtitles. Once the sound was played, it would easily be scolded by the boss.

Seeing this scene, Yi Ni realized something. She raised her head and glanced at the silent colleagues around her again.

This small office is as quiet as ever. The sky outside the window, the overlapping office buildings, the hurried pedestrians coming and going, everything is so quiet.

But under this oppressive silence, there seems to be something invisible that is slowly spreading.

She lowered her head and continued to look at the screen in front of her, then directly reached out and clicked on the link to the publisher's homepage of this speech.

The page on the screen flickered, taking her directly to the home page of the White Moli Palace official website.

Yi Ni has visited this interface before. When she clicked on this page, there was a large poster that almost filled the screen, and some news information was listed next to it.

But now, the big poster has turned into a translucent and blurred background picture of the White Jasmine Palace.

In front of this background image, there is a video window in the center of the screen. At this moment, the mayor's speech is being replayed in this video window.

On both sides of the video window, there are card labels, and each card label is marked with the name of a 'bill'.

Ini moved the cursor to the most conspicuous label on the upper left labeled 'Medical Security Act'.

The moment her cursor hovered, the label expanded and some new content was displayed.

Here is a very brief overview of the contents of the "Medical Security Act", including "mandating employees to purchase medical insurance", "city government leading the establishment of low-cost basic medical insurance for residents", "limiting medical price increases", "city government funding to establish basic health care hospitals", etc.

Then he stated the purpose of this bill: to reduce people’s medical expenditures and control high medical prices.

Up to this point, the expanded content of this label is quite normal. Many councilors and mayors have done this kind of 'bill interpretation' in the past to win more public support.

But the content below made Yi Ni slightly stunned.

The following text describes the resistance and voting status of the bill in the city council, and then clearly states that it was the alliance of medical consortiums led by Wilmed Medical Foundation and Qunxing Pharmaceutical that blocked the passage of the bill in the city council.

Next, these words describe in detail the ways in which they donated large amounts of 'donation' to certain congressmen to get these congressmen to oppose the bill.

The entire introduction did not mention the specific names of the congressmen receiving donations, but even the time and place were clearly stated.

Yi Ni was stunned, then went back and took a look at the web page, confirming that it was the official website of Bai Moli Palace.

Then click on the tab just now and read the content inside carefully.

In the past, many people speculated that congressmen would accept donations from the consortium, and then use the rights given to them by the people of Iran to help the consortium pass bills.

But no one has ever confirmed this, and even if someone tried to confirm it, they ended up leaving nothing behind, or kept their mouths shut forever.

But now, these real and biting truths are revealed in front of everyone in an unabashed and bloody way.

Ini immediately clicked on the other tabs one by one. Under the bills in almost every tab, there were relevant consortiums involved in influencing the content of the city council, and they even clearly stated how they participated.

The further down she looked, the more shocking Yi Ni felt.

In a daze, she suddenly realized the fact that the Yilan people could not get their city council to pass a bill and determine the laws of Yilan City, but the consortium could.

But her browsing could not continue smoothly. Before she could read all the tags, a red 'danger' pop-up window popped up.

Immediately afterwards, the official website of Bai Moli Palace she opened was automatically closed by the browser.
To be continued...
