That night, Gu Baishun and Wei Xiangzuo chatted for a long time in a cemetery in the suburbs before they left.
Early morning.
Gu Baishun returned home, took a hot shower, and went to his mother's room carrying a kettle of cold water.
Before her mother passed away, she was basically living alone, and she usually kept some flowers and plants to kill time. After she passed away, Gu Baishun did not replace anything in the room. He would water the flowers and plants every night when he came back, fearing that they would wither and die.
After a while, Guo Zhengdao came to Gu's house and went up to the guest room on the second floor.
"Uncle Guo," Gu Baishun turned around and called out, "Please sit wherever you like."
Guo Zhengdao did not enter the house, but stood at the door, with one hand in his pocket and asked, "Then should I run this way?"
"Yes." Gu Baishun nodded slowly: "For those who have paid, we will contact them directly. For those who haven't paid yet, please wait."
"If we contact them first, will the news leak out?" Guo Zhengdao asked.
"No." Gu Baishun shook his head: "You have to know why these people are here, and you don't have to be too direct. Just move around, maintain the relationship, and then wait for the result."
Guo Zhengdao nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"Don't tell anyone about this." Gu Baishun stood up and wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve. "The situation is very chaotic right now. Even the most piercing eyes can't tell who is a human and who is a ghost. The operation of the core events is only known to you, me, and Uncle Niu."
"good!"
After finishing the business, Guo Zhengdao scratched his nose and said, "Then you should go to bed early. I'm leaving now."
Gu Baishun looked at his back and grinned, "Uncle Guo, you and Uncle Niu should move in here."
Guo Zhengdao came back to his senses and looked at the other person in surprise: "What's wrong?"
"… My house is too empty now." Gu Baishun looked at him: "Haha."
"You should call me brother from now on." Guo Zhengdao waved his hand: "Let's just be brothers. I'll move in tomorrow."
After saying that, Guo Zhengdao left.
Gu Baishun turned his head and looked at everything in the room. After staying for a while, he packed up his things and returned to his room.
…
Within the next two days.
Tan Mingchao and Zhang Ming, as well as Gu Baishun, Wei Xiangzuo, and Yu Zheng, all began to frantically recruit people and solicit votes.
The members of the Elders Council of the Coders Association, the presidents of each district branch, and one hundred voters in each district were all on the list that both sides were trying to win over. For a while, some people made a lot of money, while others cursed and got nothing.
In short, the competition between the two sides was very fierce, and they were all doing deals under the table. No one knew how many votes the other side had or how many people they had brought in.
Friday afternoon, around 3:30.
Su Tianyu took Monkey and others to the criminal detention center of the police station and interrogated Dong Pengyu.
“Bang!”
As soon as Monkey saw Dong Pengyu, he kissed him like crazy and gave him a big slap on the neck: "Long time no see, brother!"
"Why are you so nagging? Mr. Dong is so cooperative, why do you always pat him?" Su Tianyu cursed.
"We are good brothers, and he misses me too." Hou Guoyu replied with a grin.
Su Tianyu put his hands behind his back and looked at Dong Pengyu: "I apologize to you for my brother's rudeness."
"I beg you, Commander Su, can we stop pretending?" Dong Pengyu was almost crying: "Next time, don't fight me first. If you have anything to say, just ask me. It's up to you whether I cooperate or not."
Su Tianyu was moved by such sincere words, and immediately asked with his hands behind his back: "Referendum, how many votes can you Donggang District provide me?"
"Including the president's vote, it must be 101. I will definitely give you the full vote." Dong Pengyu replied without hesitation: "I'm still in there and haven't been sentenced yet. If anyone in my family doesn't vote for Wei Xiangzuo, they are against me! I will kill his whole family!"
"I heard that your second brother is not very smart. He wouldn't secretly accept money from the other party, right?" Su Tianyu reminded him in advance.
"Blood is thicker than water! Commander Su, no matter how stupid he is, he can't cheat me." Dong Pengyu said decisively: "I don't even need to call him, you can send someone to my house to tell him that he must vote for Wei Xiangzuo. As long as I don't die, he will never be the crown prince."
"Dominant?" Su Tianyu asked.
"Of course you have to." Dong Pengyu nodded.
Dong Pengyu has no moral bottom line and no respect for rules and society. He will do anything to make money. But he has one good point, which is that he knows the current situation. He does not have the airs of a president. Once he finds that something is impossible, he will immediately choose to compromise.
Maybe this is the way of survival for such people.
Su Tianyu had a very bad impression of this man, because this bastard not only sold "medicine" that cheated and harmed people, but also after he became rich, he still bullied others and many fishermen in Donggang were harmed by him.
However, although Su Tianyu was annoyed, he was still a reasonable person at heart: "You control the situation well from inside. The price outside is 7 million for a president, and 100 votes in each district, which is also 1 million. If it's done, I'll give you as much as others get!"
Dong Pengyu was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Su Tianyu would play this trick on him.
"If you offend me, I will take a step back; if you offend me again, I will beat you to death." Su Tianyu pointed at his face and said seriously, "But now that you have obeyed and become sensible, I will not bother to mess with you anymore."
"Yes, I understand, Commander Su!"
"Give him a heads-up and transfer him to a smaller cell so he can eat at the police kitchen." Su Tianyu gave an order to the guarding police officer and turned to leave.
…
After Gou Liuzi won all the votes in Donggang District, Wei Xiangzuo also made an appointment for a face-to-face meeting with his old friend, the top leader of Fukuoka District.
The relationship between these two people has always been very close, and they reached an agreement with just a few words.
at the same time.
Inside the garrison headquarters, Tan Mingchao held a teacup in his hand and cursed with a gloomy face: "This Yu Zheng is really a fence-sitter! He was running to our place all day long some time ago, and these days he's been active on the other side again!"
"Yes, I have reliable information. Yu is helping Gu Baishun recruit people. It is said that one of the presidents has changed sides because of him." Zhang Ming replied.
"Get him!" Tan Mingchao put down his teacup and said to the plainclothes middle-aged man beside him, "Say the price to the public. Before the referendum, who can...!"
…
In an apartment in downtown Longcheng.
Yang Dong sat on the sofa, looked up at Guiziwu and said, "Aren't you following Yu Zheng? Why are you coming to me with your votes again?"
"He doesn't do things very well. I don't want to follow him anymore." Guiziwu said bluntly: "... Everyone is counting on the referendum to make some money. I'll follow whoever offers the highest price!"
“How many tickets do you have?”
"More than a hundred, all loose bills." The devil replied.
Yang Dong scratched his head: "You have been following Yu Zheng all this time, it's hard for me to trust you!"
