Chapter 942: Chapter 752: Accumulating Votes for the Future_3

"Is there still time to rush back to Shangjing to vote?" Nidelaide quickly dressed, planning to return from Jialong Slope; he was in favor, strongly in favor. "Definitely on time!" Vierre supported by his side.

"Synthetic Humans can’t vote?" Seeking Shadow poked at her phone, "That’s so unjust."

"...This is more outrageous than the magic power that mutates reality." Huang Feng watched the news with great interest.

"Xu Yang..." Kojima Kanako stood at the edge of the office, caressing the glass window, "Xu Yang ah... Xu Yang..."

Inside Nestor Corporation, members from the Agriculture, Construction, and Transportation departments agreed to oppose, becoming a solid vote bank for the opposition.

Most members from other lower and middle-income departments supported it, as it would alleviate their burden, and they were vast in number, accounting for five million. Many who have sentiments for progressive endeavors also chose to support it.

High-income departments like the Synthetic Human Manufacturing Department mostly opposed it due to fears of their private property devaluing.

One vote after another accumulated.

On the voting day of January 1st, almost everyone from the Northern Archipelago watched the voting process more or less, wanting to see if the resolution would pass.

Related news spread like wildfire.

The "Pressure-Free Society" proposal had become the hottest topic in the Northern Archipelago; from 3 pm to 9 pm, most media news shifted to interviews about the voting on the Pressure-Free Society.

"No company has ever had the courage like Nestor Corporation to push forward such a massive social transformation! Just for this alone, I could praise Nestor Corporation for a lifetime!"

"I support the Pressure-Free Society because I’m still trying to save up money to buy a house... If it can be realized, the burden lightens a lot."

"I think this is fantastic, it fits my imagination of the future world. Please, it must pass!"

"I live in a very remote place, can’t afford a car, and commuting is killing me every day, if transportation becomes free, I will absolutely support it!"

"It must pass, if not, it would be too cruel! It means that Nestor Corporation is just another profit-seeking monster like the rest!"

"Regardless of the voting result, I will always support Nestor Corporation; it has saved so many people."

The opinions of ordinary society members continued to influence the voting inclinations of the company’s internal members.

Xu Yang observed the voting situation, with the number of votes on both sides ebbing and flowing like a pair of racehorses chasing each other.

"What are you thinking about?" Farosa asked.

"I think it will pass. Because it’s what the hearts of the people desire." Xu Yang said.

"Is this coercion?" Farosa contemplated this complex phenomenon in human society.

"What influences people’s decisions isn’t necessarily economics; there are also factors of social relations." Xu Yang said.

"What?"

"This is ’face.’ If you vote in favor today, afterward you can tell others: you supported the Pressure-Free Society during this vote, willing to help the distressed, a person of virtue, thereby gaining a higher societal evaluation, looked upon favorably by others. If you vote against today, you’ll live under pressure for the rest of your life. People will say ’look, I heard this guy didn’t support the Pressure-Free Society, what a selfish ghost.’" Xu Yang said.

"True that..."

"Nestor Corporation has already listed such a wonderful aspiration, and if they publicly reject it, it will make Nestor Corporation a laughingstock. Many people, considering this aspect, will also support." Xu Yang said.

"For most people in the company, voting in favor is also the greatest, most selfless act they’ve done in their lives. Enough to compensate for all their past feelings of guilt and weakness." Farosa said.

"Of course, those who vote in favor now become part of a great cause! Throughout their lives, every time they recall choosing to support in such a decision, they will be thrilled."

"Human heart..." Farosa sneered, "That’s the difference between people and machines. People focus not only on profit and rationality, but also consider these vanities, adorning their choices with delusions, then naturally gravitate towards the so-called ’noble’ side. So that’s their reason for support, at the moment of casting a ’favorable’ vote, they feel like gods."
