Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 125 Canvassing votes
It seems that Brother Yuan’s popularity in Yau Ma Tei is a bit too good.

When others promote their work, such as giving out water and eggs, the neighbors just ignore them. But when they do it, all they have to do is shout and the neighbors rush to vote?
Oh my god, how can others have fun with this? Isn’t this congressman stable?

Shan Ji was so excited. Some time ago, when he knew that Brother Yuan was going to run for election, he specially called his cousin who was far away in Taiwan.

I heard that if this congressman can be elected, he can make a lot of money.

Not only that, being a legislator also means you have status and the police won’t dare to touch you. It’s a complete benefit with no harm.

"Come on, let me teach you how to vote."

Voting is conducted anonymously, with one person, one vote. Residents need to bring their ID cards to the designated polling location in the area to vote, and the ballots will then be sent to the counting center in absolute confidentiality.

This period lasts about a week, and this week is the voting period.

Today is the first day. Other hospitals have been promoting it since the day before yesterday, but only the Li family came out so late today to tell everyone the news.

However, he had many followers, so he sent people door to door to inform everyone. Within one day, 70% of the people in Yau Ma Tei knew that he was going to run for election.

In the entire Yau Ma Tei area, only about half of the people actually voted, or even less. The rest of the people don’t have time to care about voting. They don’t even have time to make money to support their families.

Li Jiayuan's own support rate is over 50%. Conservatively speaking, he must have at least 40 votes. With this number of votes, even if the votes of others are added together, they may not have as many as he has.

"Oh, I didn't know yesterday that I was dragged to vote by that group. No, I have to call my son and ask him to vote for Brother Yuan."

"Yes, yes, let's go vote for Brother Yuan together."

"Go, go, go, go vote."

Soon, a miracle happened at the polling stations. People were queuing up to vote at several stations in Yau Ma Tei. No one would believe this if it were told to others.

In other districts, it was good enough to have a few people queuing up, but in Yau Ma Tei, there was a long queue, which was really rare.

"Brother Yuan, the situation is very good. Shan Ji and the others said that people are very active in voting."

"Oh."

Bao Wenlong was a little surprised. Brother Yuan didn't seem happy at all. No, it should be said that he didn't seem surprised at all, as if he had known it for a long time.

"One more thing. Huadi said he found the person who spread rumors and slandered you. It's another candidate named Chen Song."

"Chen Song?"

A lot of thoughts flashed through Li Jiayuan's mind, and he couldn't remember that he knew or had offended such a person. No, buddy, we have no grudges against each other, why are you spreading negative news about me outside?

Isn't it all right?

"Brother Yuan, I heard that this person is still spreading rumors secretly. Should we take any measures?"

"Spread the word and tell everyone that Chen Song is deliberately smearing me. Oh, dig up some dirt on this person and give him a taste of his own medicine."

Although he didn't really want to pay attention to this kind of clown, but the other party had already come to his door, if he didn't respond, wouldn't it seem too cowardly?

As the first frontier battlefield for voting, Bowring Street got the first-hand information at the first time.

"What are you talking about? This guy named Chen Song is spreading bad things about Brother Yuan outside!!"

"That's outrageous! How could someone be so bad? Did his parents buy it wholesale?"

Uncle Chen was so furious that his crutch almost pierced the floor.

The other neighbors were also very angry. Brother Yuan, such a good person, was actually slandered by such a villain. These people would use any means to win the election.

"No, we can't let Brother Yuan be smeared like this. I'm going to go back and tell the old neighbors not to vote for this guy. He wouldn't even give his own son the face he deserves."

The aunt next to him poked Uncle Chen.

"Uncle Chen, I heard that your son voted for that guy named Chen Song yesterday."

"..." "That's outrageous! I'm going to his house and break his legs."

Uncle Chen lives on a high floor in an old residential complex, which is very inconvenient. It was Jiayuan Property Management that invested in installing an elevator for them.

Not only that, because it is inconvenient for an old man to live alone, the people from the property management company often come to visit him, fearing that he might have an accident. Their sincerity is rewarded with sincerity.

Therefore, Uncle Chen is also the most die-hard fan of Jiayuan Property and a member of the senior group of Li Jiayuan’s fan club.

"Then I'll go home too and tell everyone not to vote for this. It's too bad."

"I'm leaving too"

The last day of voting is approaching.

Almost every day, long queues can be seen at polling stations.

Although Li Jiayuan did not come out to canvass for votes himself, almost everyone in Yau Ma Tei knew that he was going to run for councilor and went to vote for him.

So, compared to the nervousness of others, he was not panicked at all and was preparing for Ruan Mei's surgery.

Yau Ma Tei, the school where Chen Song works.

"Students, today is the last day of the district council election. Please remember to ask your parents to vote for the principal."

Chen Song is such a shameless person that he even asked his students' parents to vote for him in school.

However, most of these students are from Yau Ma Tei, and very few of them voted for him. Some even scolded their children at home when they knew that the principal of their son’s school was this guy named Chen Song.

Back in the office, Chen Song made a cup of coffee.

“The coffee from my motherland is delicious.”

Chen Song sat astride a stool, holding a cup of coffee, looking very enjoyable. This guy had obtained the right of abode in the UK a long time ago, and he usually liked to proclaim that Daiying was his hometown, acting like a foreigner.

"Voting closes today, and the results will be out as early as next Monday. In terms of votes, I definitely have one of the three spots. I'm sure I'll take one. Let's go home and celebrate tonight."

Although the results have not yet come out, Chen Song is already full of confidence. During this period, thanks to his unremitting efforts, the man named Li Jiayuan who was deeply involved in the scandal has been cleared up.

According to the news brought back by the people he sent out, many people were discussing Li Jiayuan's identity as a member of the Shihui Society. The public was very angry and it was said that the boy didn't even dare to show his face.

He only dares to send his subordinates to canvass for votes. Now that it has come to this, how can he compete with me?

And that Huangshi guy is also a loser. I heard that he was beaten up when he went out to canvass for votes. I don’t know how he did it.

Chen Song didn't know that the reason Huang Shi was beaten was because the neighbors mistook him for Chen Song. It could be said that this beating was taken for Chen Song.

In this anxious and expectant mood, Chen Song waited for another two days, and finally the committee announced the dismissal of the ballot.

The results will be delivered to each candidate by post.

Early in the morning, Chen Song didn't even bother to take care of his work, and went to the school mailbox to wait. Soon, he saw the postman riding a small iron horse driving into the school, and he excitedly stepped forward to shake hands enthusiastically.

"Hello, brother postman, hello."

The postman was stunned by him. If Chen Song hadn't been dressed properly, he would have run away immediately. Who knows if he was sick.

“Excuse me, is there any email from the District Council?”

The postman nodded and suddenly realized that it was a candidate. No wonder he was smiling so obscenely.

He recalled what he had heard when he gained the trust, and said casually:

"You're a candidate too. I heard someone in Yau Ma Tei received a lot of votes, more than all the other candidates combined."

Chen Song paused as he received the letter, feeling overwhelmed. This is amazing!!!

Could this person be me?
