The current election campaign situation is very good.

But Ninomiya Ritsu is not complacent, and even does the stupid thing of opening champagne in the half.

Indeed, he is currently the most popular.

In the 10th constituency, none of the previous MPs could compare with him.

But sometimes if you don't have a lot of popularity, you can guarantee that you will win the seat of the council. If that were the case, the general election would be too easy.

According to his investigation.

In the entire 10th district, in addition to him, there are still five candidates.

None of the five candidates are simple figures, except for the previous House of Representatives member of the 10th district, there is also a former member of the Senate, and the remaining three are all descendants of the big chaebols.

It is no exaggeration to say.

Of all the competitors in the 10th district, not a single one is mediocre.

Even he can be sure.

Even if he is currently the most popular, no one takes him seriously, and someone will definitely make a move on him in the future.

It turns out.

His guess was completely correct.

On the third day of the election campaign, a candidate named Takayuki Fukumoto came to visit.

Tea over three rounds.

50-year-old Fukumoto Takayuki said with a smile: "There is an old saying in Huaguo called the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and Ninomiya-kun, at the age of 19, actually temporarily took the lead and became the favorite in the 10th constituency, which made our older generation feel ashamed." ”

"Fu Yuansan, don't say that."

Ninomiya Ritsu said politely: "As a senior who has served as a member of the Senate for several terms, you can be described as highly respected, compared with seniors like you, my little bit of Taoism is really not worth mentioning, this seat will definitely not be with me, I just focus on participating." ”

"I like smart people like Ninomiya-kun who know current affairs."

Fukumoto Takayuki nodded with a smile: "So this time, I came here to cooperate with Ninomiya-kun, and my intuition told me that a smart person like Ninomiya-kun must know how to make trade-offs." ”

"What kind of cooperation is it?"

Ninomiya Ritsu's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed Fuyuan Guiyuki's thoughts, which was definitely not a good thing anyway.

Sure enough.

Takayuki Fukumoto continued: "Ninomiya-kun, you also know that Yoshihiko Moriguchi, a former member of the House of Representatives in the 10th district, has won the seat in the 10th district three times in a row, and as a former member of the House of Councillors, although I am confident that I will not lose to him, I am finally missing a decisive hole card, and I hope that Ninomiya-kun will help me get votes in the next general election." ”

I'm afraid that Ninomiya Law won't agree.

He hurriedly opened his chips: "In return, you will get a member of the House of Representatives, as well as the friendship of the Fukuyuan family, and I will also personally pay 500 million yen, which will be regarded as the hard work of Ninomiya-kun." ”

“……”

Ninomiya Ritsu was silent.

Fu Yuan Guizhi seems to be kind and kind-eyed, and he speaks softly, but between the lines, he exposes his arrogance, and except for the 500 million yen, everything else is a blank check.

Members of the House of Representatives, and the friendship of the Fukumoto family?

Hehe!

The so-called friendship of these chaebols is based on equal strength.

Otherwise, it is a little too demanding.

The friendship will then break down, and the other party will not help you.

This Fu Yuangui really fooled him like a child.

Despite being angry in the heart.

He didn't show it on his face, but said in a tangled way: "Fu Yuan-san, thank you for your love, as far as I am concerned, I am very willing to make friends with you, if you want to choose between you and Moriguchi-san, I will not hesitate to help you, but unfortunately, Moriguchi-san gave me a price that I can't refuse, so ......"

sighed.

Ninomiya Ritsu shook his head regretfully.

Fu Yuangui was in a hurry: "Ninomiya-kun, that guy Yoshihiko Moriguchi...... Ahem, Moriguchi-san has already contacted you? This old fox actually plays yin. ”

In fact, in the 10th constituency.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ninomiya Ritsu.

It's not that Ninomiya Ritsu can be elected to the parliament, on the contrary, every candidate treats Ninomiya Ritsu as a piece of fat.

First of all, there is no doubt about the appeal of the second house.

If he can win over the second house, let him use his appeal to help him win votes.

Then the success rate of this election will be infinitely greater.

Fukumoto Takayuki knew this, so as soon as the election campaign began, he rushed ahead of everyone to win over Ninomiya Ritsu, for fear that Ninomiya Ritsu would be co-opted by other candidates.

He also made people stare at the second house.

So what is certain is that at present, including Yoshihiko Moriguchi, none of them have been in contact with Ninomiya Ritsu.

However, at this time, Ninomiya Ritsu told him.

Yoshihiko Moriguchi not only came into contact with Ritsu Ninomiya, but also seems to have reached an agreement.

"Ninomiya-kun, when did it happen?"

After he calmed down, he guessed whether this would be the way Ritsu Ninomiya bargained, so he made a tentative speech.

"On the day the registration candidate passes."

Ritsu Ninomiya opened his eyes and said nonsense: "I happened to meet Moriguchi-san at the campaign committee, and when he saw that I was running for the 10th district, he asked for cooperation, and offered a price that I could not refuse. ”

"So what's the price?"

"Moriguchi-san said that as long as I support him to win the seat of the 10th constituency, he will do his best to help me win the seat of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in exchange." Ritsu Ninomiya replied with a smile.

"Impossible!"

Fu Yuan Guizhi almost couldn't hold back his expression.

With Yoshihiko Moriguchi's ability, it is not impossible to help Ritsu Ninomiya win the seat of the metropolitan council, after all, the Moriguchi family is very influential in Tokyo, surpassing their Fukumoto family by a lot.

However, this year's Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly election will not be difficult.

If he goes all out.

There is also a certainty that a place will be allocated to the second house.

But the question is, is it worth it?

At least he doesn't think that it is necessary to pay the price of a seat in the metropolitan council to win over Ninomiya Ritsu: "No, it is definitely impossible for others, but with the character of Yoshihiko Moriguchi, it is really possible to do such a thing." ”

He fought Yoshihiko Moriguchi twice.

Knowing that he has always been a cautious character, in order to achieve an overwhelming advantage, it is not impossible to give up everything and pull the second house law into his hands, so his suspicion of the second house law is ninety percent.

"Ninomiya-kun, so be it."

Fukumoto Takayuki said with extreme pain: "On the basis of the previous conditions, I will also help you win the seat of the metropolitan councilor, I only hope that Ninomiya-kun can cooperate with me, and don't disclose this matter to Moriguchi-san." ”

"This ...... But I've already promised Moriguchi-san, isn't it okay to break the contract? ”

Ergong Ritsu looked like a good student, and Fu Yuan Guizhi sneered again and again, and he was really a stunned young man who didn't understand anything, and he was blind to have such a big popularity.

"Ninomiya-kun, how can this be considered a breach of contract?"

He was disdainful in his heart, but he smiled kindly: "You see that the auction house has to bid for it, with Ernomiya-kun's ability, you shouldn't just get a seat as a metropolitan councilor, please be sure to think about it." ”

"Please allow me to think about it for a few days."

Ergong Ritsu sent away Fu Yuan Guizhi, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, obviously it was an attitude of begging for people, but he refused to say even a word of 'Sang', these family chaebols are really arrogant to the extreme.
