Although the office door was closed, one could still hear the lively discussions going on in the campaign office.
The final embarrassing scene in Caoying spread to thousands of households, and the election in the third constituency can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
Today is the 20th. The lights outside are bright. It is late at night, but the voting results of each constituency in Beiguan are being announced under the supervision of the Election Committee. All the office officials are gathered in front of the TV and sitting next to the radio, waiting for the results.
Lu Ming sipped his tea slowly.
Sitting next to him was Liu Laocai. He was extremely free now, yet he actually came in the middle of the night to wait for the election results with Lu Ming. In the past, he had no interest in these things at all, and his relationship with Councillor Meng Dezhu was purely from a business perspective.
There were quite a few people in the office, and those who could come to accompany Lu Ming to wait for the results were all extremely close relatives or politicians with a certain status in the party.
However, someone like Wei Baozeng will naturally wait for the results of his election in his own campaign office.
Those from within the party include Zheng Daguo, chairman of the Rural Policy Forum Committee of the Beiguan Party Branch, and Ding Deyi, vice chairman of the Political Donation Management Committee.
The person who came with Zheng Daguo was Zheng Daguo's self-proclaimed close friend, Tian Huiqin, director of the Beiguan "Labor and Exchange" Office. He was in his early fifties, spoke in a cadence with a hint of his hometown accent, and was quite stylish.
There is also Li Cangyu, chairman of the Beiguan Health Committee, a man in his sixties with short white hair and a spirited look.
Li Cangyu and Lu Ming had a brief contact because of Xiu Xiu.
Lu Ming didn't expect that he would come to his side and wait for the election results with his small circle.
Tian Huiqin, director of the "Labor and Exchange" Office, and Li Cangyu, director of the Health Commission, are both heads of the Beiguan ruling body.
Nominated by a seven-member committee and elected by the Beiguan Council.
These people were equivalent to the heads of the city-level "ministries, commissions, and bureaus" in Lu Ming's previous life. To ordinary people, they were big shots who were rarely seen.
In terms of the Beiguan system, they all have their own political ecosystem. Usually, at this critical moment of waiting for the election results, even if they show up, they stand with super heavyweight members who are likely to become members of the new seven-member committee. This is a platform, an expectation, and even a statement.
Of course, the danger is that the legislator he supports may not be included in the seven-member committee, and then he may be in danger of being sidelined in the personnel appointments of the new Beiguan government agencies.
It was unheard of for a new candidate like Lu Ming, who had just entered politics, to have two heads of administrative departments at once.
Of course, those who followed the TV debate must know that Lu Ming’s election as the councillor of the third district is a foregone conclusion. Therefore, by coming to party with the young councillor’s team, there will be no danger of embarrassment if he loses the election.
At the same time, we should support and care for newcomers in the political arena and show goodwill to this political rookie.
These two meanings depend on how you think and how you say it.
Inside the office, there are no other people except these politicians.
There are also Wen Liangyu, the Renault couple, Liu Hanming and so on.
Wang Daan was also there. He knew he was just there to make up the numbers, but he still had to come. He was also sincerely happy for Qianxing.
In addition, Zhao Xingwang's son Zhao Xueren and Li Xiaoman and his wife also sat in the corner.
Zhao Xingwang has retired, and Xingwang Industrial is now led by his eldest son Zhao Xueren.
Zhao Xueren begged Liu Laocai for a long time before Liu Laocai reluctantly agreed to bring him and his wife along.
After all, Lu Ming is still the major shareholder with 30% of Xingwang Industrial's shares. Although he has not shown up for a long time, he has appointed an executive director, and all matters concerning Xingwang Industrial are handled by this executive director.
There was only a radio in the office, listening to Kunlun TV's reports on the vote counting.
Tian Huiqin, who was sitting next to Lu Ming, was talking to Lu Ming with a smile, talking about the TV debate ten days ago. He said with a smile: "It feels like it's over before it even started. However, for things that make history, there may always be some shortcomings. Unfortunately, Councillor Lu, it seems that you still have a lot to say, but because of the mistakes of the Cao camp candidate, those words were not said."
He spoke with his hometown accent, with ups and downs and full of charm, and he had the style of a superior.
Although Lu Ming has not actually won the election, everyone in the room has already called Lu Ming "Councilor Lu". Lu Ming corrected it several times but to no avail, so he just ignored it, otherwise it would seem too pretentious.
After hearing what Tian Huiqin said, Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't have much to say, and the topic is very sensitive. Now that I think about it, it's better not to say anything."
"Oh?" Tian Huiqin laughed, "Councilor Lu, you have already started to get into your new role!"
Lu Ming smiled. Indeed, he didn't expect Cao Ying to reveal his cards so quickly. He probably didn't have much confidence that he could defeat him in the following debates.
However, racial segregation is actually a very sensitive topic. Many of my inner thoughts may not be suitable to be expressed in public. In politics, we need to unite as many people as possible, and this is especially true for voters. So, just say less and you’ll win.
Especially, with the public debate having been circulated through video, I don’t want future generations to watch the video and point at me, saying that I am the once notorious racist leader.
Looking at Tian Huiqin, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Director Tian, there are actually many things I want to say. For example, your Labor and Exchange Bureau has been a name for a long time. I think it should have been changed a long time ago. A simple Labor and Market Administration Bureau is more appropriate."
Tian Huiqin started laughing.
He said something, but it was drowned out by the sudden cheers in the office.
Outside, the explosive cheers coming from the campaign office and other rooms were getting louder and louder.
The banging sounds should be from people popping champagne to celebrate.
However, it was Kunlun TV that reported that the Beiguan Boundary Committee had officially announced that in the election for the third constituency councillor, candidate Lu Qianxing received 63.21% of the votes.
This is basically equivalent to announcing that Lu Ming has won the election, unless there is a major reversal such as fraud in the next few days.
"Congratulations, Councillor Lu!" In the office, everyone from bigwigs like Tian Huiqin and Li Cangyu to idlers like Liu Laocai hugged and shook hands with Lu Ming to express their congratulations.
Outside, the campaign director and officials all rushed in. Regardless of their status, they all cheered and hoped to hug their boss to express their excitement.
However, when Lu Ming was hugging everyone one by one, he felt someone pinching his back hard. He didn't know who it was, and everyone was so excited that no one took it seriously.
Wen Liangyu did not squeeze in to join in the fun. She stood in the corner of the office, looking at Lu Ming who was surrounded by people.
I felt so many emotions in my heart. When I first met this young lawyer who was brought to Wendebao by Liu Laocai, did I ever think of the present situation
Moreover, it seemed that the people present had not yet realized that Qian Xing was only nineteen years old!
Because after just a few words with him, it is easy to overlook his real age. Even powerful people in their fifties or sixties will quickly regard him as a person of the same level as themselves.
This is the scariest thing.
The 19-year-old East China Sea regional councilor created history for East China Sea and even the empire, not to mention his amazing achievements in other industries, those that he knew or did not know.
Where is his future and his limits
Wen Liangyu looked at the young man who was held high up, and his vision gradually became blurred. He seemed to see a young eagle slowly spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
…
“Hiss, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts…” Lu Ming gasped.
It's just a small blood mark, why does it hurt so much? I'm about to be laughed at by the kids.
Even Biss isn't that fragile.
Hanzhu, who was carefully applying ointment to Lu Ming, was startled, her beautiful eyes filled with heartache, "Who is so cruel!"
She had never known what hatred was, let alone how to say harsh words to blame others. Her current coquettishness was an expression of her extreme anger.
Lu Ming was lying on the soft big bed. It was Hanzhu who was applying medicine on his back. There were also a few little heads watching out of curiosity.
Bisi, Kuroki Saori, Kim Mi-yeon, and Soo-so.
I don’t know why, today, Bis called all these little friends home, and she became the leader of the kids.
It seemed that Bis had called them together to celebrate her uncle's election as a councillor, although Bis didn't know what a councillor was.
Looking at these little heads curiously looking at the "injury" on his back, Bis seemed to be muttering softly, "Uncle is so pitiful. He is afraid of pain just like Bis. Will he cry when getting an injection?"
Lu Ming was furious, "Go, go, go!"
Just then Pamela pushed the door open, and the little guys were immediately frightened, as if they had seen the Japanese invaders entering the village. Led by Bisi, they all ran out of the balcony glass door. Little Kuroki Saori was the last one to run, and in a panic she jumped out of the window.
Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh again. This Bisi even had an army of children. However, she seemed to be getting happier and happier, which was really good.
Turning his head to look at Pamela, he smiled and said, "Look at you, what have you become? If a child keeps crying in the future, tell him that you are here, and he will be scared and stop crying."
Pamela was watching Bis and the others running through the door and window, and said angrily, "Bis, you're almost a wild child!" After a pause, she said, "Also, why is that guy with the tattoo here too?!"
Hearing what Lu Ming said, she bit her red lips, walked over, lightly kicked off her little crystal slippers, and sat on the other side of Lu Ming.
"This is caused by a woman's long fingernails!" Pamela looked at the bloody mark on Lu Ming's back.
Hanzhu nodded slightly, "She is so bad!"
Pamela looked at Hanzhu speechlessly, but she had long been numb to Hanzhu's way of thinking.
"What on earth did Bizhu say?" Lu Ming sighed in his heart. Really, who is this? Even if she is happy for herself, she doesn't have to be like this, right
Murong Xue? But it doesn't seem like she has long nails.
And it was just that I was excited when I hugged her hard, so I might have grabbed her a little harder. Why does it hurt so much after I fell asleep
Bizhu seemed to appear once, looked at her injuries, and then disappeared.
"I didn't quite understand, but it seemed to be saying that before your twentieth birthday, you should be careful not to get hurt, otherwise the pain you will suffer will be ten times the original..." Pamela looked at the faint bloodstains on Lu Ming's back and smiled: "Let's see if you can still attract men in the future!"
But seeing Lu Ming's grimace, Pamela asked curiously, "Does it really hurt?"
Seeing her beautiful eyes filled with tears of heartache, she also seemed dissatisfied with what she had just said. However, she never argued with anyone.
"Okay, I, I'll blow it for you, Sister Hanzhu, you continue to apply the medicine..." Pamela glanced at Hanzhu secretly, and saw that Hanzhu was happy now. She felt helpless. Using this silly girl as a reference, her attitude towards this guy might become a heinous sinner if she was not careful. This family is in trouble.
Lu Ming lay on the big bed that was as soft as a cloud, looking at the two beautiful women with graceful figures in the mirror.
A pretty face with a little scarlet and emerald flower on her snow-white forehead, a light red embroidered jacket and a Xiang skirt, lightly wrapped around her delicate skin and delicate bones, a pair of narrow and small, cute and attractive red mandarin duck hands were faintly visible under the soft hem of her skirt, she was truly a fairy descending to the mortal world.
A fashionable and beautiful girl, with slightly curly blonde hair cascading down like a waterfall, and big silver earrings that make her snow-white face and deep blue eyes look even more three-dimensional and attractive. She is wearing a snow-white dress, has a hot body, and her long beautiful legs can almost satisfy all the fantasies of a man. To use a rather obscene word, she is really playing the ten-thousand-year series.
At this time, the two of them knelt on the bed, one on the left and one on the right, taking care of their own "injuries". One of them breathed softly on her moist red lips to relieve her pain, and the other carefully applied medicine on herself with her delicate hands painted with nail polish. The scene was pleasing to the eye and full of spring.
Squinting at the dreamlike scene in the mirror, Lu Ming let out a light breath. From now on, it seems that it is not bad to get a little injured.
The pain in my back seemed to gradually disappear.
