Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

The passenger door opened first, and the bodyguard immediately grabbed a black umbrella and quickly walked to the back door.

As soon as the car door opened, Feng Jingyao, dressed in a dark brocade mandarin jacket, slowly stepped out of the car.

The quick-thinking reporters rushed to the front and started snapping photos in a flurry.

A series of problems followed.

"Mr. Feng, are you confident that you will become the chairman of Huadong today?"

"It is said that Mr. Oshima is a good friend of yours, so it seems that this vote is definitely for Mr. Feng!"

....

The oncoming flashes were a bit blinding, but Feng Jingyao's lips curled into a smile.

He was clearly quite satisfied with how well he was received.

Ding Li, who was standing nearby, handed over a pair of sunglasses at the right moment.

Seeing Ding Li's actions, Feng Jingyao immediately gave him an approving look, put on his sunglasses, and greeted the reporters next to him with even more ease.

"I, Feng, am quite confident. Let's look forward to the final result together."

After saying this, Feng Jingyao strode forward.

Soon, he had created some distance between himself and Ding Li.

Naturally, no one heard the voices of the one or two reporters who happened to walk up to Ding Li.

"Mr. Ding, you haven't forgotten the money you promised us, have you?"

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Ding Li's eyes.

Clearly, the reporters surrounding Feng Jingyao were hired by Ding Li!

After all, these days, face is more important than anything!

"Of course not."

Upon hearing this, the reporters behind him also showed a hint of satisfaction in their eyes.

However, before they could even speak, they heard shouts from afar.

"Ye Bai from the Paramount Ballroom has arrived."

"Look, that's a car from the Paramount!"

......

Upon hearing the sound, Ding Li saw that the reporters who had been surrounding him just moments before had all rushed to the Paramount's vehicles as if by magic.

As soon as the car door of the Paramount opened, all the reporters swarmed around it.

"Mr. Ye, are you confident about attending Huadong this time?"

"What prompted you to participate in this Hua Dong board election? It seems you didn't initially intend to participate..."

"Mr. Ye, could you please answer my question briefly?"

......

The lively scene of dozens of people surrounding the building has become a major spectacle at the entrance of the Municipal Council.

Feng Jingyao, who had already reached the building entrance, also noticed this.

Seeing that the scene was even more lively than when he had attended, Feng Jingyao's smile faded, and his eyes darkened.

"We'll see who comes out on top."

Leaving those words behind, Feng Jingyao strode inside.

Meanwhile, Ye Bai was still surrounded in the center of the crowd, and Xu Wenqiang took the lead in greeting him.

"Thank you for your attention, friends from the media. We will give you another interview once Mr. Ye becomes a chairman of Huadong!"

The moment the voice was uttered, the crowd erupted in another uproar.

However, there was a rather out-of-place small group of three on the periphery of the crowd.

The three men, also carrying cameras and dressed as reporters, did not rush in.

"They are being far too arrogant, as if Chairman Hua is already theirs for the taking."

Wearing round-framed glasses, Du Fei watched as all the reporters surrounded Ye Bai and couldn't help but complain.

"There's no other way. Ye Bai just acquired the waterworks, and now the waterworks are under construction. Next, the price will be greatly reduced to benefit people's livelihoods, so public opinion is naturally on Ye Bai's side."

A complex expression flickered in Lu Erhao's eyes.

He had already recalled Ye Bai's recent actions, and a hint of emotion appeared on his face.

As he spoke, Lu Erhao turned his gaze to He Shuhuan, who was standing to the side.

"Shuhuan, what's wrong with you lately? You're usually the first one to rush over, why are you standing here today?"

Lu Erhao's words also explained why the three of them were still on the periphery of the crowd.

In the past, He Shuhuan had always played the role of the vanguard.

But today, for some reason, I hesitated and was a step behind.

Upon hearing this, Du Fei immediately started shouting as well.

"Yeah, Shuhuan, what's wrong? You seem so absent-minded lately! You seem to be spacing out all the time..."

Their words immediately struck a nerve with He Shuhuan.

You should know that his last interview with Feng Chengcheng left him with a huge shadow.

He vaguely remembered the shock and disbelief of everyone when they learned that he had abandoned Feng Chengcheng halfway through.

The scrutinizing gazes he received felt like slaps to his face.

He Shuhuan still clearly remembers the embarrassment and awkwardness on his face at that time.

All of this is clearly Ye Bai's fault!

It was all because of the interview with Ye Bai!

He Shuhuan originally intended to follow the principle of "if you can't afford to offend them, you can at least avoid them".

But to his surprise, he really couldn't escape it!

The selection of the Chinese directors of the Municipal Council is a matter of self-governance for the entire Chinese community in Shanghai!

The newspaper also sent reporters, and as a regular overseas correspondent, he naturally took the lead.

However, the thought of interviewing Ye Bai always made him feel a little uneasy.

Just as he was about to laugh it off and say he was fine, the scene at the door immediately drew everyone's attention.

Feng Jingyao, who was standing at the entrance of the Municipal Council, seemed to be talking to one of the dignitaries at the entrance, which caused Feng Jingyao to stop in his tracks.

At this moment, Ye Bai, who was originally behind, had also approached the gate.

In that instant, all the reporters rushed forward and started snapping photos.

This is a head-on clash between two rival companies from Huadong!

A business tycoon representing the traditions of Shanghai, his brows furrowed with authority.

The other one is a rising star in the Shanghai stock market.

Although he was a few years younger, his imposing presence was in no way inferior!

This is definitely going to be a hot topic tomorrow!

If not now, when?!

Chapter 101 The Final Vote: Who Should We Cast Our Votes For?!

After a burst of flashes, Feng Jingyao and Ye Bai had already entered the Municipal Council building.

The Municipal Council building was originally built by foreigners.

Its scale, the luxury of its architecture, and the sophistication of its facilities made it the largest in the Far East in the 1820s.

The building's exterior is in the Neoclassical style, with Baroque-style decorations.

Upon entering, there are huge double-columned porticoes and lifelike statues on both sides, making it look even more magnificent and grand.

Stepping inside the building, a solemn and dignified atmosphere immediately arises.

This is currently the headquarters of the highest-ranking foreign powers within the concession.

Stepping into this place is equivalent to stepping into the highest authority within the concession.

The once noisy crowd immediately lowered their voices and even their footsteps became lighter as they entered the gate.

Soon, everyone took their seats.

Then a solemn bell rang, signifying the official start of the election.

Under the watchful eyes of the entire audience, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue suit was the first to step onto the stage.

Soon, a deep, slow voice traveled through the microphone throughout the hall.
