Lu Xiang's love strategy is the same as her style of fighting crime, which is a single-knife and straightforward type.

In the face of her frontal attack, Song Lan was really a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that Song Lan looked speechless, Lu Xiangwan smiled, she just teased the other party, with the current complicated situation in District 17, they don't have extra energy to take care of the children.

"There's a politician coming to us in the afternoon, and he's interested in the guy who made the Enforcer's Handbook, and he'd like to see you."

"Politicians?"

"Said to be a strong contender for the next mayor."

"Come here to canvass for votes."

Song Lan was not interested, he had to admire the politician's sense of smell, this is the day when the mayoral election is in full swing, and with the influence of the "Law Enforcer's Handbook", it can undoubtedly bring them huge votes and support.

He could imagine the power-for-money transactions that might happen next.

"Can I be absent because of a stomachache?"

"I can't."

Lu Xiang said, "If nothing else, he may be the next mayor, and it is not a bad thing to deal with the other party earlier, but ......"

"But?"

"If you have a stomachache, I can rub it for you."

"It's okay, no need, suddenly it's better again."

Song Lan coughed lightly, since the big leaders had spoken, he could only nod.

The meeting time was agreed at 1 p.m., and the venue was in the conference room of the office building, and the other party visited in person.

Since the Foster family withdrew from District 17, their work has been noticeably busier, and since the release of the first issue of the Enforcer's Manual, more and more businesses have contacted them, but the vast majority of them are still sticking to their old ideas, hoping to buy them off with money.

Lu Xiang directly listed these companies as low-quality partners and targets that need to be investigated in the future.

Taking advantage of the time a little ago, Song Lan reset the way Nami greeted Lu Xiang after she saw her, and obtained the name of the culprit through coercion and temptation.

It is a pity that there is a problem with Comrade Valen's ideological consciousness.

In order to allow her to give full play to her ingenuity and wisdom, Song Lan had to endure the pain and increase her workload.

For the Fish Party, the lunch break is never enough.

He felt that he had done nothing and that the time for the meeting had come.

For the sake of the face project of the law enforcement department, Song Lan left the office a quarter of an hour early and prepared coffee and black tea in the meeting room.

Moments later, he met the candidate, who had been in the limelight lately.

With resolute eyes and a knife-like face, I have to say that judging from the appearance alone, this is undoubtedly the kind of trustworthy appearance in people's minds.

The man looked less than forty years old, which is quite young for a politician.

"Aureliano, that's my name."

The man stretched out his right hand to Song Lan and said with a full temperament, "You must be Song Lan, I spent the "Enforcer's Manual" that you edited in charge, and I have long wanted to come to see you. ”

"Fortunately."

After taking a seat, it is nothing more than some greetings without nutrition.

Roughly speaking, it can be described as "looking up for a long time, you are very good" and "you are not bad", and the so-called scene work is probably like this.

And a politician usually throws out the purpose of his trip after these nourishing greetings.

Aureliano is no exception.

He took a sip of coffee, and when he spoke again, the momentum of the whole person was much sharper than just now, "Actually, I came this time to ask you a question - what do you think about border trade?" ”

As he posed the question, there was a brief silence in the room.

This topic is completely different from the trend imagined by Song Lan, he thought that the other party would take advantage of the trend to lead the topic to canvassing, after all, for the candidates, being able to become mayor is the most important job at the moment.

For this reason, even unscrupulous means are not spared.

Seeing that Lu Xiang and Song Lan did not answer, Aureliano continued, "After Chai Ke's death, the border trade in the Seventeenth District has come to a standstill, and the criminals and large enterprises have ...... Everyone is eyeing Chai Ke's business. ”

Although Chai Ke died, the supply and demand of border trade did not disappear.

And this is also the reason why the big families in the core area are eyeing the border cities.

In the past, the interpretation of the border trade in the 17th District was firmly in the hands of Chai Ke and the Foster family behind it, and any large enterprise in the 17th District that needed to conduct border trade needed to look at their faces.

"You might as well have something to say."

Song Lan vaguely felt that the ambition of the man in front of him was probably not limited to becoming the mayor, and he had already thought about his plans after taking office before the election dust settled.

However, it remains to be verified whether this is a good or bad news for the 17th district.

"The only way to get the 17th arrondissement truly free from the control of big business and even the coalition government is that only those who have the lifeblood of the economy in their hands can really determine the future of the city...... Of course, this is just some of my personal superficial opinions. ”

Having said that, there was no hint of modesty in Aureliano's tone.

In his opinion, the mayor of Lyon is only half done.

The near-death drive of the Foster family from the 17th arrondissement gave the city a temporary period of freedom, but this freedom did not last long, and once the city's economic lifeline fell again, the 17th arrondissement would sooner or later return to its former state.

"Therefore, I hope to discuss with you the feasibility of maintaining the order of border trade."

Putting this economic lifeline in the hands of the government will require more than just one or two new policies, and without an armed force that can defend it, it will be all empty talk.

Once the reform touches the interests of large business, then they will do everything possible to undermine the establishment of the new policy, and the enemy is far more than the big business in the 17th district, and the criminal forces "outside" are also a big problem that must be solved.

And the person who can help him with these reforms is sitting in this room at the moment.

"I wonder if this line can be kept with the current strength of the law enforcers? Especially in the face of the 'outside' criminal group, the agreements they signed with the Foster family in the past may have all been invalidated. ”

And this is the real purpose of Aureliano's visit today.

He wanted to make sure for himself whether he could find a truly trustworthy ally before he pushed for reform.

"There's been a buzz in the Gold Digger bar lately – the enforcers are the biggest force in the city."

This is amply confirmed by the fall of the four criminal groups.

He witnessed first-hand the process of the law enforcers fulfilling their promise to expel the large criminal syndicates from the 17th District, which also gave him confidence.

"Fighting crime is our job."

Lu Xiang opened her mouth and said, she didn't intend to give the other party any clear answer, "Any criminals who endanger the Seventeenth District are the target of our attack. ”

Whether they come from the "outside world", big business or government departments.
