"Although Mr. Hans's plan sounds very good. However, we should consider the difficulty of successfully applying for tax exemption. This is an unavoidable problem. If the tax exemption is not available, the Pioneer Park program will have to be aborted. So I think the resort plan is more in line with Fox's reality. With the resort, Fox can attract more middle class people to vacation or settle with us, which will be of great help to our business development at Focus. ”

Mayor Dick has once again made a public statement, almost explicitly rejecting Link's new district design.

When Link got the news, he just chuckled and shook his head.

The next day he showed up on the streets of Fox with his child. A group of reporters surrounded him almost immediately.

During the interview, the reporter inevitably asked what he thought about Mayor Dick's scandal.

Link had rarely expressed any opinion on politics or politics before. But this time he laughed and said, "I don't think the mayor of Fox should be a morally bad person." Fox is a tourist city. The mayor is the image representative of Fox. Mr. Dick is clearly no longer fit for the post of mayor of Fox. Many citizens also made their choice with demonstrations and protests. As an ordinary citizen, I hope that Mayor Dick will resign as soon as possible for the sake of Fox's image. Let Fox return to its former peace,"

Link said that he was an "ordinary citizen", and he would be spat on and smacked hard when he said this.

In the past, he never expressed his position, but this time he was interviewed to say that Mayor Dick should resign voluntarily. With his size, his statement will certainly be very noticeable.

The citizens of Fox who were watching nearby heard him and shouted at him, "Link, you're right. That guy should have stepped down on his own initiative. ”

Link wanted to wave his hand over there and said, "I'm glad we agreed for the first time, Bart!"

"Yes, we're in this group!" said the citizen named Bart with a laugh. "Of course, I also feel that your plan is more favorable to Fawkes. This time I support you. ”

"Thanks, but I didn't plan to run for mayor!"

As a result, some of the media interviews with him used a very eye-catching headline: "Link Hans Interested in Running for Mayor of Fox?".

Dick, for his part, reacted quickly, refusing to answer questions about the sex scandal in an interview with reporters. But in response to Link's statement, Dick made a rather tough stance: "I have a lot of respect for Mr. Hans. So I hope he can respect me. I will not consider voluntary resignation until the end of my term. I need to be accountable to the voters who support me and keep Fox out of the road. ”

Dick is responsible for the voters who support him. The media did take a few photos of citizens marching in support of him, and the photos showed a lot of people. But in reality there were much smaller demonstrations than the ones demanding his ouster.

And the media also did a data survey: "According to the one hundred and nine people we randomly interviewed on the street, one hundred and one want Mayor Dick to resign voluntarily as soon as possible." ”

However, some media quoted Dick: "Mayor Dick said: Link Hans asked him to resign because Mr. Mayor was opposed to his Pioneer Park plan. Mr. Mayor is convinced that that is the wrong path. ”

Soon, some relevant people in Huazhou also made their own statements. Former Fox Mayor, Kemp told reporters: "From what I know, Mayor Dick has lost the trust and support of Fox citizens. In fact, I have received calls from no less than two hundred Fox citizens asking me to submit a bill to impeach Mayor Dick in the state house, and I am considering the necessity of it. ”

The governor of Washington was also asked about Mayor Fox in an interview at an event. It was a matter of political correctness, and although Mr. Governor did not quite know the power of it, he nevertheless took an unfavorable attitude against Dick: "A government official, once he has lost the trust of the citizens, should consider resigning." That's good for everyone. ”

But Dick let you go east and west, north and south, and he didn't move. Dick not only did not resign, on the contrary, he was active. For example, go to the county government.

Link soon learns that Dick forgot what the county government was running for.

Dick actually wanted to avoid the residents of Fox and directly asked the county government to apply for land development.

Jessica was surprised at first when she learned about this, but it was almost impossible for Dick to sit in the mayor's seat now. It is not surprising that Mr. Mayor ignored the opinions of the citizens. But do those county commissioners dare to ignore the opinions of the citizens of Fox?

Link chuckled and said, "Of course it's possible. They don't need to take into account the consent of the public. As long as Mayor Fox and citizen representatives agree. ”

Jessica was really surprised: "You mean, the citizen representatives were also bought?" Those citizen representatives were also elected by various communities.

"Who knows, it may be that you have been deceived, or it may be like you said, you have been bought. ”

"I think it's necessary to find out. ”

Link nodded and said, "It really should be checked." ”

At Fox, Link has one thing to look up, it's easy. It didn't take long for him to know what was going on.

Citizen representatives were not bought. Dick was taking advantage of a special provision in Mayor Fox's Code of Conduct.

This was a regulation made during the camp period, because many of Fox's citizen representatives had to go out to earn a living, and the mayor might not be able to call them to a meeting at any time.

This special ordinance provides that the mayor has the right to make decisions that do not endanger the vital interests of the citizens of Fox when the mayor convenes a meeting of citizen representatives whose participation does not exceed one-third.

And that project doesn't seem to be harming the citizens of Fox. Because that land doesn't belong to any of the Fox citizens.

This "vital interest" is an ambiguous expression. As a result, it was used by Dick.

Dick first called a meeting of delegates on weekdays. As a result, the deputies did not dump him at all. And the delegates seem to have forgotten that there is such a mayor's ordinance.

Dick completed the "procedure" and signed the land use plan. Then send it to the application.

The county magistrate and the county commissioner were bought.

So before Link could figure out what was going on, the land use application had been approved.

Link really admires this Dick mayor this time. It's just that this Mayor Dick really thinks that Fox is his single-handedly covered?

He Link Hans didn't dare to think like that.

He called Tiger.

"Boss!"

"Send this information to the citizen representatives. Link thought for a moment and said. "Don't let them know it's me. ”

Tiger nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." ”

The next day, another big incident occurred in Fox, the citizens of Fox gathered overnight near Fox City Hall without applying for permission to march, and fourteen citizen representatives revealed to the citizens what Dick had done: "Our mayor, in order to make a fortune in Fox before he is forced to step down, he and other companies sell our entire Fox and sell the interests of all the citizens of Fox ......"

This matter is too big. Coupled with enough evidence, Mayor Dick was taken away by the police on suspicion of dereliction of duty.

Now Dick couldn't stay in the mayor's office anymore. After being released on bail, Dick finally gave up his plan and announced his voluntary resignation.

Because of this incident, Pittham and Co. denied complicity with Dick, and announced that they would indefinitely terminate their plans to build a new district in Fox in order to prove their innocence.

Dick resigned, putting the matter to a halt for the time being. But whether the election will be held right away, or whether someone else will replace it, has become another interesting topic for Fox.

Fourteen citizen deputies held discussions immediately after Dick's resignation. In the end, the citizens' representatives voted to hold mayoral elections in the near future, and until the mayors are elected, they will share their responsibilities as mayors.

And the vote for the mayoral election is scheduled for a month and a half later.

Interested candidates can submit their applications to the Election Committee, which consists of 14 citizen representatives and 16 citizens, between February 20 and 28. The polling day is set for March 15.

The elected mayor will serve a term of two years and eight months.

Link thought that this election had nothing to do with him.

However, on February 26, Jessica suddenly said to him after being under the covers: "Honey, do you think I can be elected mayor of Fox?"

Link's hand was already reaching for the hem of her pajamas, but when he heard her say this, his hand involuntarily rerouted to her forehead.

"I'm sober. I'm serious!" Jessica said earnestly, taking his hand off her forehead and holding it in her hand. "I've been thinking a lot lately, and the company is actually much more than I imagined when I started. I never imagined that it would become a multinational corporation in its own hands. I used to think that maybe after my father's research breakthrough, there would be venture capital investment. We will eventually be driven out of decision-making. At that time, I thought that as long as my father's research was accepted by the world, it would not matter anything. And, even if I get kicked out of the company, I'm sure I'll get a sum of money. Then I can do what I love to do. ”

"So? You mean to say that Benehans isn't really what you care about the most?"

Jessica smiled and buried herself in his chest and said, "Since the company name was changed to 'Beni Hans', it's one of my favorite things. Because it makes me feel like we're connected. ”

Link put his arms around her, letting her head off his chest. He looked at her seriously and said, "Actually, you don't have to think about those things?"

"I thought about it. It wouldn't make a difference with or without me in Benihans. I think I can help you in other ways. And, perhaps, as mayor of Fox, I'll have more time with my children. ”
