However, the Governor was different. He immediately looked puzzled and flustered.
Then, he patted Zhou Xuan’s arm gently. The two of them came to the side and spoke in a voice that no third person could hear. “President Zhou, what do you mean? You can’t promise them such things casually. Once we can’t do it, they will use this as an excuse to attack us crazily.”
Although the governor’s position was very high, he was still very respectful to Zhou Xuan. “Once they achieve their goals or leave them with something to talk about, you and the Zhou Corporation will be affected in the future.”
“These are trivial matters. They’re not important. The fact that I dared to come here today and say such things in front of everyone proves that I definitely have some capital.”
Zhou Xuan patted the governor’s shoulder gently and gave him a comforting look. “Don’t worry. I’ll naturally resolve today’s situation for you. No matter what I say later, you don’t have to respond. You just have to stand behind me.”
“No problem. After so many years, I know what kind of person you are. Since you’re so confident, of course I’ll cooperate with you.”
After thinking for a moment, the governor’s words were also very supportive. “No matter what you’re going to say later, feel free to do it. These brothers and I will always stand behind you to protect your safety.”
“Then I’ll thank you for you support first.”
After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and focused his attention on the man who represented the people. “Are you the representative chosen by these people? Do you have the right to decide their next move, or are you just a messenger?”
“Just a representive, of course.”
The man did not oversell something for himself. “We’re all ordinary people and have an equal relationship. Moreover, it’s my honor for everyone to choose me. It represents their trust in me, not that I have the right to order others.”
“Now that you mention it, I understand.” Zhou Xuan nodded slightly. “Then it seems that it’s useless for me to say what I’m about to say. I still have to face everyone.” With that, Zhou Xuan walked straight to the front of the crowd without waiting for the man’s reaction.
When his bodyguards saw this scene, they hurriedly walked up to Zhou Xuan and formed a human wall around him. They were afraid that President Zhou’s words would cause dissatisfaction and cause danger.
Zhou Xuan did not say much about this. Even if he wanted to help Shan Yue buy more time and give people some hope, he could not completely ignore his safety. He didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he made a silent gesture first.
As the commoners below the stage basically knew who Zhou Xuan was, they consciously quietened down.
“I know why everyone is gathered here today. Living under such pressure is indeed unbearable, so I understand everyone’s feelings.” Zhou Xuan’s words seemed to be filled with power. “I can tell everyone very clearly now that there’s at most a week left before the antidote for the virus can be developed.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including the Governor and all the commoners below the stage, widened their eyes and revealed shocked expressions. In an instant, whispers and discussions sounded.
“Is this real or fake? Can the antidote really be developed in a week?”
“Who knows? It’s also possible that this is just a stalling tactic to prevent us from starting a riot.”
“I think we should be able to believe it. After all, President Zhou said this. He’s the benchmark for youth in the Federation’s Central City. He shouldn’t be to the extent of colluding with others to deceive us, right?”
At this moment, not to mention the ordinary citizens below, even the governor behind him took the opportunity to gather beside Zhou Xuan and asked softly, “President Zhou, is what you said true or not? I’m monitoring the research progress of the various medical corporations in the Federation City at all times. No organization dares to guarantee that they can produce the antidote within a week..”
