Chapter 599: Political Animals
Since I have made an agreement with Zhang Jiao, I have been busy with the continuous ticket worship of the whole city for dozens of hours.
Bai Mingya, who has almost walked hundreds of neighborhoods, markets, and private squares in Kashgar, couldn't stand the noisy crowds around him, so he hurriedly said goodbye.
Zhang Jiao, on the other hand, continued to perform in the crowd for nearly two hours before he finally finished casting his sacred vote and walked on the high platform of 'sand diggers' canvassing as agreed.
Under normal circumstances, as long as it is not stipulated in the constitution of Yiyuan, it is not allowed to be re-elected, otherwise the candidates will not change much.
Therefore, most of the protagonists on the stage are his former peers in the Kashgar District Council.
But this is no longer the case.
Even if Zhang Jiao was lucky enough to pick up a speaker to be a speaker before, because he was a non-party person with no roots and no foundation, he was actually not very taken seriously by the big party legislators with deep roots.
But now when everyone faces him, they are like big guests, one by one with exaggerated expressions of welcome, nodding their heads and shaking hands, scrambling to greet him, "Hello Speaker Zhang, welcome to the great victory, and the martial arts are prosperous."
I wish you all the best in the future in Congress and brave the wind and waves to create new glories. ”
"Speaker Zhang, I knew that you were not mortal, this time you really went to the next level in a bad way, and I congratulated you on your appointment as a member of the National Assembly. ”
"With Speaker Zhang's support in the National Assembly, our Kashgar can be regarded as having a new backbone at the central level, and we, the local councilors, will fully cooperate with your proposal in the future. ”...
Among the people who spoke was an old man with a white beard, and as far as Zhang Jiao knew, he had been a local councilor for five terms.
Because of the relationship between the Kashgar City Council for more than 20 years, he usually likes to rely on the old and sell the old, and always has the face of an elder to the young councilors, but he didn't expect to smile like a flower now.
There is a middle-aged cadre with a little tiredness on his face, but he still looks resolute.
As far as Zhang Jiao knows, he was born in a family of high-level intellectuals, and went to extremely well-known schools along the way from kindergarten to university doctorate, so it can be said that he has a perfect resume.
Daily life is completely a scholar's style, but Si Swenwen has never been smiling, but at this time, his face is also full of big smiles, and his mouth is almost cracked to the back of his head.
There is a noble business tycoon, that is, Zhang Jiao first came to Yiyuan and became one of the inheritors of the owner of the 'Hami Farm' who worked several times after becoming a sailor.
In the past, he was also a figure with his eyes above the top, but now he obviously put himself in a lower position, bowed deeply to Zhang Jiao, and took the initiative to extend his hand to greet him.
"Rights are really good. Zhang Jiao was immersed in this scene, and thought silently with emotion in his heart.
On the surface, he quietly answered everyone one by one, which seemed to be both approachable and funny, and faintly showed a different generosity and generosity from the previous dormant hours in the Kashgar House.
Bai Mingya on the side couldn't help but sigh at the change of the environment to a person, after a national struggle, the guy who used to pretend to be honest and clever actually had a bit of a depth that he couldn't see through.
Finally, it was her turn to shake hands with Zhang Jiao, and Bai Mingya said directly and cheerfully: "Speaker Zhang, since you have come to power, let's talk a few words to the voters in the audience." ”
Since Zhang Jiao was selected to be on the platform of the 'sand digger', he had already expected this link.
Wen Yan smiled and said: "Okay, by the way, I will also help your party pull a few votes, but the effect cannot be guaranteed."
Haha, speaking of which, Yiyuan's largest Conservative Party doesn't need me to add to it..."
Before he finished his polite words, Bai Mingya had already interjected seriously: "Don't say that about Speaker Zhang, at this moment, every vote is crucial.
We need your help. ”
Politics pays attention to the 'subtle beauty', even if it is obvious, saying it so bluntly also makes the atmosphere more subtle.
The surrounding candidates for the local council looked at each other, smiling dryly, neither expressing nor speaking.
Zhang Jiao was slightly stunned, spread his hands and said: "Maintaining a bit of sincerity in the political game is not only the discord between Councilor Bai Mingya, but also the charm." ”
After that, he walked out of the crowd, walked to the podium in the center of the stage, waved and shouted with a smile on his face, and instantly mingled with the people in the audience.
"What a natural politician. Looking at Zhang Jiao's enthusiastic and calm figure, Song Yishan, the leader of the Kashgar 'Sand Diggers' party behind him, couldn't help but murmur.
Bai Mingya, who was standing on his left, nodded lightly in agreement when she heard this, her eyes rolled around, and she silently made a decision.
By the time the platform ended, it was already evening.
Because the Yiyuan election is a five-day holiday for the whole country, take most of the rest first.
Then there is the 1 day and 1 night local election voting time.
Next, rest for 1 full day.
This was followed by a 48-hour polling period for the central elections, so canvassing was an extremely long process, and it was only halfway through it.
After saying a polite farewell to the 'sand diggers' in the Kashgar Council, Zhang Jiao quietly walked down from the backstage, and suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Speaker Zhang, you have given me a big face today, I will invite you to dinner." ”
Zhang Jiao heard that it was Bai Mingya's voice, and felt a little strange about her intentions, turned around and shrugged his shoulders and said, "No need, Councilor Bai, aren't you still busy." ”
"Staying up late at night to worship tickets is more of a sign of sincerity. Bai Mingya said with sophistication: "It will appear for a while at the beginning, a while in the middle, and a while at the end."
You don't have to 'punish' to the end like you do during the day. ”
"That's right. Zhang Jiao smiled noncommittally when he heard this, and said nonsense, "It's really cunning." ”
"Councilor Zhang, it is already a sure thing that you will become a member of Congress. Seeing his ambiguous performance, Bai Mingya took a few steps forward and lowered her voice: "As an elected councilor from Kashgar, you also need wings at the local level, don't you?"
Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment, and while paying attention to the change in Bai Mingya's expression, he said dryly: "But you are the rising star of the 'sand digger' in Kashgar, but I am a person without party affiliation."
It's not good to mix it up. ”
"Politics is the art of the game," Bai Mingya said artistically, "and I will be the bridge between you and the largest conservative party in Yiyuan, but it will be mutually beneficial." ”
Zhang Jiao thought about it and suddenly laughed, "I still have a friend who has been waiting, can we eat together?"
"Of course you can, anyway, we're all in the election period now, and we can't discuss anything serious. Bai Mingya smiled and said, "I want to eat Xi noodles, which are simple, convenient and delicious."
Warm and low in calories, really preferred for the evening. ”
"Then let's be happy. Zhang Jiao agreed, and after meeting Han Ying, who had been waiting on the side of the road immersed in the ocean of his thoughts, he walked towards the noodle restaurant introduced by Bai Mingya.
