"Leilei"

Huang Tian turned around in surprise when he heard his daughter's voice.

Huang Lei's smile disappeared instantly, and she walked into the office stiffly, obviously not expecting Huang Tian to come here.

Ever since she learned that she had misunderstood her father for so many years, Huang Lei didn't know how to face Huang Tian for a moment, so she subconsciously maintained a normal attitude.

When Li Jiayuan saw Huang Lei coming, he stood up and patted her shoulder.

"Have a good talk with your father and don't be angry."

After that, Li Jiayuan went out and stood at the door like a gatekeeper.

"What are you worried about? Haven't you seen the security guard?"

Long Wu, who was standing next to him, cast a cold glance at him. Li Jiayuan was furious, and Long Wu smiled unkindly.

I have seen it, but I have never seen a security guard guarding the door for his father-in-law and girlfriend.

The soundproofing in the office was quite good, but after a few minutes, the sound of quarreling could be heard from inside, Li Jiayuan thought to himself.

"broken."

When he opened the door and was about to go in, Huang Tian had already walked out, closed the door on his own initiative, took off his glasses and wiped them.

"Hey, I don't know if it's because of our horoscopes, but they always end up quarreling after just a few words. You should try to counsel Leilei. Her mother misses her very much. Tell her to remember to come home and visit."

"it is good."

Li Jiayuan didn't say anything, but he admired Huang Tian even more in his heart. Even in such a situation, he could still think of others. Only Huang Tian could do that. No one else could be so magnanimous.

Li Jiayuan pushed open the door, and Huang Lei immediately turned around, looking like she was wiping away tears.

"Actually, your dad is a really nice person."

Huang Lei didn't say anything, but just let Li Jiayuan wipe the corners of her eyes with his hands. Her cheeks were puffed up, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Three days later, Li Jiayuan's nomination was submitted and he successfully became a candidate.

He was so happy that he invited Ruan Mei, her grandmother, and Huang Lei to a restaurant for dinner that day.

With the list finalized, his election as a member of parliament is basically a foregone conclusion.

Tsim Sha Tsui Education District

"Chen Song, we decided to transfer you to Yau Ma Tei two years ago in preparation for today. Now, the nomination application for the District Council has begun, and I have submitted your name."

"As for how to canvass votes, it's up to you to figure it out."

Before Chen Song left, the words of his old boss lingered in his ears.

Those shrewd little eyes were full of calculation and excitement. Two years ago, he was transferred from Tsim Sha Tsui to a secondary school in Yau Ma Tei as the principal, and he was very unhappy.

Unexpectedly, the higher-ups had made advance preparations for him to run for district councillor in Yau Ma Tei. What a well-intentioned move.

There is one prerequisite and three hard conditions for the election of regional councillors.

Hong Kong Island permanent residents aged 20 or above.

Lived in the constituency continuously for 3 years before nomination, or have a close connection with the area (such as work)

No foreign residency (applicable to certain public positions, requires verification)

Chen Song lived in Tsim Sha Tsui, so he was transferred to Yau Ma Tei to meet the second requirement.

After leaving his old leader's office, Chen Song immediately went back and used his connections to investigate the list of candidates running for Yau Ma Tei councillor. In the end, he was able to investigate the list thoroughly.

This information is actually public, because there is a vote-gathering process later, so there is nothing to hide. Anyone who is interested can basically find out everything as long as they check.

Chen Song sat in the principal's office, looking at the information in front of him. There were five candidates this time, two from the business community and three from the education sector.

"Huang Shi, Xu Fangfang, Li Jiayuan"

If there were only four opponents, the competition would not be fierce. After all, there are three places in Yau Ma Tei, which means that three people can advance and two people will be eliminated.

He knew Huang Shi, a section chief in the Ministry of Education. That guy could also run for election.

Huang Shi had a teacher-student relationship with one of his students a few years ago, and his reputation is ruined. If he didn't have a family connection, it's not certain whether he could continue working in the education field, let alone running for district councilor.

Why would this bastard compete with me? With my prestige in the education field over the years, if I could just find a few friends in Yau Ma Tei to canvass votes for me, wouldn't that be a done deal?

Huangshi can be eliminated directly and will not be a threat. Now there are only three others left. To be safe, if he can get rid of one of them, he will definitely be elected in this election.

Chen Song looked at the information of the remaining three people himself, and finally his eyes fixed on Li Jiayuan.

"This Li Jiayuan is a worthy target, but to be on the safe side, we should investigate him first."

Go ahead, Chen Song put down the information and picked up the phone.

He lived in Tsim Sha Tsui, but usually taught in Yau Ma Tei. The faculty and staff had dormitories and lived and ate in the canteen. He rarely left the school, so the name Li Jiayuan was not much of a familiar sounding name to him.

There is no difference in sensory perception from that of a stranger.

A day later, other candidates had already started thinking about how to canvass for votes. Chen Song got Li Jiayuan's investigation report. Not only that, he also asked someone to do a detailed background check.

Of course, due to the incompetence of the person he entrusted, the background check was only so-so.

Chen Song was delighted after reviewing this carefully prepared background check.

"This Li Jiayuan appears to be from a businessman background, but he actually has the audacity to have connections to a gang. If this gets out, will anyone still vote for him?"

As someone in the education field, Chen Song was well aware of the extent of residents' dislike for members of the social gangs. Once word got out, this councillor Li Jiayuan would definitely not be elected.

Young and dangerous men also want to learn how to whitewash themselves, but they are just dreaming.

Chen Song came up with a plan to slander Li Jiayuan, and at the same time he was also preparing to canvass votes for himself.

On the main street of Yau Ma Tei
We can already see some people handing out small flyers, which are candidate profile surveys. They simply state what they will do after becoming a councillor and what benefits they will bring to the residents.

Of course, most of these things are just empty promises. In fact, many people will forget them completely after becoming members of parliament. Only one or two people with conscience will still remember them.

"Hiss, this method of canvassing for votes is really simple and unpretentious."

In the morning, Huadi went downstairs to buy breakfast and saw some flyers scattered on the street. He picked them up and read them while walking.

"That's it. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he can compete with our Brother Yuan. Tsk tsk, it seems like Brother Yuan is definitely going to be a councillor."

Huadi thought about it and went home excitedly, preparing to drive to the company. They should also think about how to canvass for votes.

But canvassing for votes in Yau Ma Tei shouldn't be too difficult given Brother Yuan's prestige.

Just as Huadi was about to go back, the owner of a tobacco shop on the street pulled him aside mysteriously.

"Brother Hua, I have something to report."

"What?"

"You said there are a few people spreading negative information about Brother Yuan here!"

The shop owner looked even angrier than Huadi. He was puffing his beard, glaring, and gesticulating, almost wanting to drag the man to Huadi.

"It's absolutely true. This group of people came this morning. As soon as I arrived, I heard them saying bad things about Brother Yuan in front of Aunt Li and the others, saying that our Brother Yuan is a *secret society. I wondered if we didn't know whether our Brother Yuan was a *secret society or not.

I wanted to argue with that person, but Aunt Zhang fell to the ground and was scared away. Fortunately, she ran away quickly, otherwise Aunt Zhang would have extorted tens of thousands of yuan from him.

However, Huadi smiled unkindly.

But he took note of the incident and went back to ask someone to investigate which fool had caused trouble in Yau Ma Tei.
