Concessions and Challenges

Since Tom has decided to ascend to the throne in three days, the corresponding preparations have begun intensively.

The palace doesn't need Shen Liansheng's, so we can renovate it with other ready-made buildings. Anyway, there are awakeners who are shaped by clay and glass, so changing the structure of the house is not a problem.

In terms of clothing, there is also a fabric shaper in charge, with the main person in charge being Chen Ya, one of the couples rescued by Tom from the Jinrui Hotel. She is already a fashion designer, and with her abilities, she shapes the fabric, making it easy to create the right style.

Various objects can be modified with ready-made ones to appear more magnificent.

At this moment, Tom was naturally not idle, of course not dealing with political affairs, but busy running around with Yang Caishan, who had just recovered from his serious illness. Choose clothes for big gifts, decorate the palace bedroom, choose various furniture styles, and even have a look at the dishes for the evening banquet.

After all, this is the grand coronation ceremony. Although it was rushed, it still needs to appear magnificent and calm. In this regard, the opinions of the knowledgeable Yang Caishan are particularly important.

To others, that is very abnormal.

Once upon a time, Tom, who was pragmatic and pragmatic, became the present-day person who values style?

Discontent permeated among the new executives in the shelter, but many were still willing to follow Tom, believing that he did so for a reason.

Another group of people believe that it was Yang Caishan, a female fairy, who confused Tom. Perhaps her powers were just to bewitch people. Otherwise, why was everyone from Yuan Feixing to Song Ren, and then to Shen Liansheng so captivated by her that they ended up with no good outcome. Now it's Tom's turn, she must be driven away, otherwise it will ruin the good situation that the shelter has finally won.

They not only said that, but also went ahead and did it.

Firstly, led by Mr. Wang and Yue Zhenbang, they expressed their protest to Tom. They were willing to compromise and let Tom claim the title of king, but they needed to establish a parliament. The power of the parliament was not significant, and more was to discuss Tom's proposals, with Tom having one vote to decide.

In terms of military operations, Tom has the highest decision-making power and can issue orders directly without parliamentary discussion. Afterwards, he can convene a parliament to explain the reasons for the orders, and then the parliament can further explain to all sectors.

As a price, it would be to cancel the appointment of Queen Yang Caishan.

Tom agreed to the request for the establishment of the parliament, but insisted on appointing Yang Caishan as the queen, which made Yue Zhenbang and Wang Laotou and their group very dissatisfied. Seeing that the date of accession was only in sight, they connected a part of the people and demanded to leave the shelter and leave the city of Haiwei.

Yes, after the renovation of the shelter, it was renamed as Haiwei City. The purpose of this unified name is to give everyone a sense of belonging.

However, Tom refused their request to leave and ordered Wang Zixiong to lead a team to arrest and imprison them all in the early morning of the day before ascending the throne.

As of now, the loyalty of veteran members of the clinic, such as Prince Xiong Weishu of Shen Jiayi, to Tom remains, and it is also the core force supporting Tom in maintaining the situation in Haiwei City. Many of them followed Tom's repeated battles, each influencing others.

So it is precisely through their influence that more distant survivors are still willing to pursue Tom.

Although there are still doubts about Tom claiming to be king and Yang Caishan becoming queen, the various departments and groups of Haiwei City are still operating in an orderly manner, and the coronation ceremony is unfolding as scheduled, until things do not develop in a bad direction or even worse.

Today's event is even more lively than the day of the public trial, which is inevitable. This is a happy event, and the Minister of Logistics, Cheng Fuhua, has instructed the Logistics Department to distribute more supplies one day in advance to achieve the effect of universal celebration. This undoubtedly greatly reduces the dissatisfaction of everyone towards Tom's claim to be king.

More than 40000 people gathered at this grand event, and it can be said that most of the residents in the shelter attended. There are naturally many people from various departments, especially the crew of the original Ark, except for the group of people who followed Yue Zhenbang's defection and were detained, most of them were present.

The person in charge of hosting the grand ceremony is an experienced host, who is the ace program host of a TV station in Morikawa City. He also has the ability to spread his voice on the square without using a loudspeaker, and he is full of vitality.

This person has a strong ability to mobilize the atmosphere on site and pays great attention to guiding the atmosphere, so that everyone in the audience will not be nervous but can feel the solemnity of the coronation ceremony.

According to the process, Tom was first crowned king, various royal codes were announced, and benefits were once again distributed to the residents of Haiwei City. Amidst the cheers of the residents, Tom announced the candidate for the queen and invited the almost well-known former celebrity Yang Caishan.

However, when the crown and scepter, symbolizing power, were to be handed to Tom according to the ritual, Tom did not take them.

"I know you still remember the kindness of Shen Jiayi, the general manager of Haiwei Mini Industry. It was under her command that the talents of Haiwei Mini Industry rescued you from all over the city to this warm and safe shelter. So now, I need to prove to you that your Mr. Shen is extremely loyal to me and my wife."

These words echoed through the loudspeaker on the square, and the people below looked sideways, muttering incessantly.

"The main room?"

"It's the queen, isn't it?"

"Shouldn't Tom's wife be Mr. Shen?"

"Yeah... are there any other candidates?"

Not only the residents below, but also the members of various departments nearby looked bewildered.

The decision to appoint Yang Caishan as the queen has only been circulated among the high-level personnel of Haiwei City, and the people below are not yet aware of it.

Tom left a few minutes for everyone to discuss, so that they could digest the sudden news, and then he gestured to calm down.

At this moment, it can be seen that his prestige in the shelter is still very high. With a simple gesture of hand pressure, the "ignorant masses" on and off the stage fell silent. However, in half a minute, the entire square remained silent, and everyone was waiting for his message.

Tom was very satisfied with the reaction of everyone. He nodded and leaned over, reaching his hand behind him. "Now, let me introduce your queen to you in a grand manner..."

So Yang Caishan, dressed in her best attire, walked out with elegant and generous steps. The people below couldn't see it very clearly, but some of the staff on stage recognized it first: "It's Yang Caishan, my goodness, it's Yang Caishan, Miss Yang!"

"Ah, Yang Caishan, it's really her."

"I knew it was her, she's very suitable to be the queen."

"Isn't that right? Mr. Shen takes care of countless opportunities every day, and the responsibility of serving the Dragon King is entrusted to the female celebrity in the vase. It's just perfect."

"Do you dare to say that the queen is a vase?"

No matter how the audience discussed, Tom on stage hugged Yang Caishan and gave a sweet kiss, then said, "Shen Jiayi, I know you have always supported me. Now, I need you to set an example, representing the people of the shelter to pledge loyalty to my wife and your queen."

Let Mr. Shen bow down to Yang Caishan?

This caught everyone, including Wang Zixiong and others off guard.

During Tom's disappearance, it was Shen Jiayi who pulled the Ark over one by one. Many members of the Ark initially had stereotypes about her, such as being labeled as a "female tyrant" or a "woman of the God of War," thinking that she was just Tom's vassal. If it weren't for Tom being good with her, many people would consider her a disliked wealthy second-generation.

But with each battle and baptism of danger, everyone has gained a more comprehensive understanding of her.

Positive evaluations such as "professionalism", "kindness", "sense of responsibility", "empathy", "calmness and composure", "rationality and not being impulsive" all appeared one after another. Only then did they understand why Tom liked her because she was the same type of person as Tom.

Gradually, everyone was gradually convinced by her, believing from the bottom of their hearts that she, like Tom, was everyone's savior and protector. Willing to obey her commands, even in the face of danger and death.

As for the residents of the shelter, that's even simpler.

It is true that Yang Caishan first tarnished her reputation, and everyone hated her to the bone. However, with a series of measures taken by Shen Liansheng after taking office, the lives and even survival of residents were constantly oppressed. Under the promotion of the Flying Fish organization, everyone only then realized that Shen Jiayi had been splashed with dirty water. At this time, they all recalled her good reign and hoped that Shen Jiayi would come back to power again.

It can be said that Shen Jiayi's prestige in Haiwei City is second only to Tom's.

Now, asking Shen Jiayi to bow her head to Yang Caishan undoubtedly helps to enhance her prestige, so that Yang Caishan's queen status is more deserving and will not become a beautiful vase.

Once Yang Caishan gave birth to a child for Tom, her position would become even more stable.

But can Shen Jiayi be willing to become a stepping stone for Yang Caishan?

Wang Zixiong and even the most loyal followers of Tom, such as Ouyang Haotian, were indignant. Shen Jiayi, as the party involved, stood on the side with no trace of blood on her face.

Even in the current situation where everyone feels that Tom's temperament has greatly changed, Shen Jiayi still rallies people's hearts for him and advises everyone, "You must trust Tom, he did it for a reason."

But now, her own position has been challenged by those she trusts the most, how can she handle it?

"Shen Jiayi, come here," Tom ordered.

Yang Caishan gave him a hand, as if trying to stop him from doing so, but he remained unmoved and said, "Shen Jiayi!"

Shen Jiayi walked over, her eyes filled with coldness, so cold that even everyone in the audience could feel it.

Tom gestured to the person next to him to bring over the crown that belonged to the queen. "Shen Jiayi, put on the crown for your queen."

Shen Jiayi trembled slightly as she took the crown, with a hint of anger rising from her cold gaze. Tom raised his head and hugged Yang Caishan's waist, sternly saying, "Hurry up, this is your queen."

This statement completely shattered Shen Jiayi's rationality, who had originally intended to tolerate it. She threw away her crown and said, "No, have you had enough trouble?"

Tom raised his fist directly and said, "Pick it up, otherwise..."

Yang Caishan quickly grabbed his arm, but her gaze drifted around.

"My patience is at its limit, Tom!" Tears streamed down Shen Jiayi's eyes, sliding down her smooth cheeks and clothes.

"My patience is also at its limit, Shen Jiayi, won't you pick it up? Okay!" Tom said, and his fist swung down.

Wang Zixiong next to him reacted the fastest. When he saw Tom punching, he immediately rushed forward, while Li Qiang on the other side quickly propped up the crystal energy barrier in the direction of Shen Jiayi.

However, Tom's fist was faster. Before the barrier was erected, Wang Zixiong rushed forward and had already brushed past Shen Jiayi.

"Drink!" Tom immediately shouted and turned around, his footsteps moving at a faster speed, before everyone could react and hit the blank space on the right behind him.

With a bang, a figure gradually emerged from the air and fell to the floor,

"Finally, I caught you!" Tom was extremely angry at this moment.
