377: Chapter 376 Major Crisis in the Japanese Special Economic Zone: The Death Rate of the Mad Laughing Epidemic Soars to the Hundred Thousand Level

"Everyone, come over and sit!"

Lin Mo's voice had just fallen.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Chief Designer Lin!"

"I absolutely cannot accept being called 'Senior Brother'…"

"Why don't you just call me Little Tan!"

Although Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan currently held great prestige across all sectors of Huaxia society and even in countries around the world, in front of Lin Mo, a legendary figure and his direct superior, he dared not act presumptuously at all.

Before Lin Mo could respond, Xiang Guangming had already spoken with a smile.

"Still 'Little Tan'?"

"Wenxuan, look at your own age; you're almost two generations older than Lin Mo!"

"Besides, this isn't working hours!"

"Furthermore, Professor Ai Chongfeng and I are good buddies and partners who wear the same pair of trousers!"

"If I call you Senior Brother in private, just accept it!"

Professor Ai Chongfeng's face was full of disdain, yet he did not refute it.

Seeing his mentor not only standing up for him but also specially trying to build rapport for him, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan felt quite grateful in his heart.

Tomorrow afternoon, he would head to North America to take up his post, becoming the new Chief Executive of the Huaxia Washington Special Administrative Region.

This private visit to see Lin Mo was also a private debriefing to his future direct superior before assuming office.

As it happened, Professor Ai Chongfeng and Xiang Guangming also had a small matter to discuss with Lin Mo, so they dragged Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan along.

"Come over and sit."

Looking at Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan, who was impeccably dressed, gentle and refined, with sharp facial features, and whose handsomeness was only slightly inferior to his own, Lin Mo couldn't help but nod.

It had to be said that Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan being able to wake up this time was also a miracle.

Before this, as Xiang Guangming's last closed-door disciple and the head of the Huaxia Development Faction (The Doves), Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had been assassinated by a spy from the CA Organization lurking in Huaxia, who was the former Deputy Director of the Huaxia Development and Reform Bureau, during his tenure as the first Chief Designer of the Jinwu Overseas Project.

Although Lin Mo had personally administered the Azure Dragon Supplement Level 1 to him in time, saving his life, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had suffered a head injury and could not truly wake up, falling directly into a vegetative state.

Several neurology experts had asserted that the probability of Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan waking up was less than 1%.

Whether he could wake up depended on the arrangement of the Heavens.

Regarding this, Lin Mo didn't really care; if he was a vegetable, so be it.

As long as he was alive, it was fine.

He was kept in that vegetative state; after a while, when the next generation of genetic engineering technology, especially nanorobot medical technology, achieved a breakthrough, it would be simple to save Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan.

However, upon receiving this terrible news, Xiang Guangming nearly had a mental breakdown, and Professor Ai Chongfeng also couldn't bear it.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had a bright future, yet they had used him as bait to fish out the leverage of the North Americans.

Who would have thought it would end in such a tragic outcome?

In the final analysis, it was all their fault!

At the same time, General Li Jingwu, as the main leader in charge of the "lure the snake out of the hole" plan, also felt extremely ashamed.

Under the promotion of General Li Jingwu, although Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had not passed away, he was awarded multiple supreme national honors in the form of posthumous awards, and relying on official Huaxia propaganda channels, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan's heroic deeds were widely and extensively publicized.

For this reason, many Huaxia citizens spontaneously prayed for Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan, hoping he would wake up soon.

However, perhaps the Heavens heard the pleas of the masses, or perhaps good people truly get good rewards, not long ago, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan had actually miraculously woken up…

After the secretary finished pouring tea for everyone, they turned and left the office, not forgetting to close the door properly.

The four of them sat around the guest sofa, chatting while drinking tea.

A few minutes later, Lin Mo knew that these three must have come for a serious matter, and it was highly likely related to Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan, so he cut straight to the chase and said with a smile.

"Senior Brother Tan."

"It hasn't even been twenty days since you woke up from a vegetative state, and I'm sending you to such a far place to take office."

"You wouldn't blame me, would you?"

Hearing this, Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan quickly said.

"Chief Designer Lin!"

"This position of Chief Executive of the Special Administrative Region is a position that countless people dream of!"

"If it weren't for your promotion, my age, qualifications, and ability would not have been enough, and I would never have been able to step into this position no matter what."

"I'm too grateful to you; how could I possibly blame you!"

Lin Mo nodded slightly, picked up the teapot, and after adding some tea to the cup in front of Professor Ai Chongfeng, which was still half full, he looked at Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan and smiled faintly.

"That's right."

"To celebrate you being able to step into this position, those people from The Doves have been celebrating for several days in a row."

Lin Mo's voice had just fallen.

Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan's expression instantly froze.

On the side, Xiang Guangming, who had originally been smiling and leaning on the sofa, also slowly straightened his back.

"Chief Designer Lin, I…"

Lin Mo waved his hand and interrupted with a smile.

"Senior Brother Tan, Chief Executive Tan."

"Don't misunderstand; I don't mean to blame you."

"Who you want to associate with, and how you want to associate with them, as long as it doesn't violate organizational discipline, that is your own private matter."

"Now that Huaxia is the sole leader on the Blue Planet, can't it tolerate a few Doves?"

After hearing Lin Mo's words, Xiang Guangming and Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan were immediately relieved.

Professor Ai Chongfeng took a sip of tea and smiled to smooth things over.

"Lin Mo, don't try to scare Wenxuan and Old Xiang."

"Although our political views were different in the past, I still understand Wenxuan's loyalty to the organization and his steadfastness to his faith."

"Speaking of which, looking back at the past struggle between The Hawks and The Doves, except for some with ulterior motives, sophisticated egoists, and anti-Huaxia conspirators, in the end, people from both factions were for the development of Huaxia."

"It was also a helpless move during the period of backwardness."

"Now that the new era has arrived, this nonsense of The Hawks and The Doves has all been swept into the trash heap of history."

Xiang Guangming took over the conversation.

"Yes, Chief Designer Lin."

"From now on, no matter what faction they were in before, as long as they are Huaxia people and are dedicated to Huaxia, they are all our own people."

"If you have any requirements, just say them directly to Wenxuan!"

Lin Mo smiled and didn't say much.

He opened the holographic display screen and projected an instruction report on international affairs into mid-air.

A phrase in the title of the report immediately attracted Professor Ai Chongfeng's attention.

"An urgent report from Former Prime Minister Jiushan regarding the Japan Special Administrative Region?"

The three of them continued to read, and their expressions began to change.

"The Crazy Laughter Epidemic in the Japan Special Administrative Region has entered a large-scale outbreak, the death toll has surged to the hundred-thousand level, resembling a hell on earth."

"Chief Executive Jiushan requests instructions."

"Requesting the motherland, Huaxia, to include all citizens of the Japan Special Administrative Region in the inoculation scope of the Azure Dragon Supplement…"

After the three of them finished reading, Lin Mo stared at Chief Designer Tan Wenxuan and spoke faintly.

"Chief Executive Tan, if you were me, what would you do?"
