Chapter 230 Corn
Zheng Feng’s speech had just ended, and as luck would have it, there was a problem with the radio equipment, and the staff were now trying their best to repair it.
In Lu Shizheng's opinion, this is harmless.
"What's going on now?"
Lu Shizheng asked the subordinate next to him.
The subordinate reported the situation respectfully.
Except for No. 11 who has not yet played, everyone present who should vote has voted, and No. 1 is currently far ahead.
that is...
“That means nearly half of the people haven’t voted yet!”
Cheng Xueying, who was holding Lu Zhizai, said.
Lu Shizheng withdrew his gaze from the audience. "What's wrong with that? Some people just like to do this. It's like harvesting corn. The best corn is clearly there, but they insist on walking around the cornfield before returning to harvest it."
Lu Ce, drumming his fingers on the armrest of his chair, finally spoke, "So, Dad, the best corn in your heart is definitely not Secretary Zheng."
Lu Shizheng looked at himself, Lu Ce, and said, "There are always people better than you. We should be happy that someone more suitable than Secretary Zheng has appeared. It's you who refused to take this position. See, if you don't want it, there are plenty of people who do."
Lu Ce's face showed a hint of sarcasm. "Tsk. So, you mean this number 1 is the best corn? When did this person appear? I've never even heard of him. Is he the son of his old friend?"
Lu Shizheng tapped his cane with his fingers. "The team we sent out from the southwest, I thought they were all wiped out. I didn't expect them to not only survive, but also rescue so many people and collect so much supplies. They are truly brave, resourceful, and well-led."
Lu Ce: "You sent them out? Then why do I have no impression of them?"
Lu Shizheng tightened his grip on the crutch.
"What impression do you want to make? How much do you pay attention to what's going on around me? There are so many people coming and going around me, how much do you pay attention to? You've never liked being around me since you were a child! Do you know how much your brother has helped me? Do you know how much he has done for you in places you can't see?"
The scene fell silent.
Cheng Xueying looked nervous, worried that the father and son would quarrel in this environment.
"Daddy, hold me. I'm scared."
Lu Zhizai stretched out his hands and moved towards Lu Ce.
Cheng Xueying could only let Lu Zhizai go and beg Lu Zhizai to calm Lu Ce's emotions.
"Don't be afraid! Daddy is here." Lu Ce said softly.
After coaxing Lu Zhizai, Lu Ce looked back at Lu Shizheng and said, "People only see what they want to see, and you are the same."
It would be fine if Lu Ceyuan quarreled with Lu Shizheng, but his lukewarm attitude was annoying.
"Why didn't I see you? You're not as good as your brother in some ways, you have to admit it."
Lu Ce licked his back teeth and said, "Yeah, I'm not as ruthless as him when it comes to being ruthless towards his family. It's you who are more generous and can do without caring about anything."
The topic of death brought the father and son into conflict again.
Lu Shizheng looked at a place in the field and said, "How can the living argue with the dead? I tell you! The living can only argue with the living!"
"Sorry! A small change. Now, please invite candidate number 11 to the stage to give a speech..."
The host on the stage was speaking.
Lu Ce snorted coldly, "It's okay if you don't care! No more talking, just watch the speech! Who knows, maybe the best corn is at the end, and it's not the one you're optimistic about!"
Lu Shizheng wanted to say something, but Cheng Xueying pulled him back.
"Alright, alright, everyone, please stop talking."
Cheng Xueying exchanged glances with Lu Shizheng.
Lu Shizheng withdrew his gaze from the candidates below the stage.
"Grandma, what's wrong with your eyes?" Lu Zhizai's childish voice sounded.
Cheng Xueying looked embarrassed and said, "Nothing."
After Cheng Xueying finished speaking, he realized that Lu Ce's eyes were on candidate No. 1, Yang Yinglu.
Cheng Xueying quickly found a topic to talk about. She pulled Lu Zhizai's chubby hand and asked, "Zizi, do you want to be a leader in the future?"
Lu Zhizai looked at Cheng Xueying with his round eyes and nodded obediently.
"Our son is so hardworking, he's sure to be able to do it. By the way, Xiao Ce, what are your plans for the future? Are you just going to develop the company? Do you want me to introduce you to other businesses?"
Cheng Xueying then changed the subject.
"No need. I just need to run my own company. I'll let you know if there's anything else I need you for." Lu Ce replied.
"Ah? Oh, okay." Cheng Xueying was a little surprised that his son would say that. It had been a long time since his son told him that he needed her.
Soon, she found out.
Her handsome and dignified daughter-in-law actually appeared on the stage and talked freely.
"Dad, come on."
Lu Zhizai circled his hands and shouted towards the podium.
"Let's not worry about whether Zaizai will become the chief or not. Zaizai's father wants to be one, so shouldn't we support him?"
Lu Ce looked defiant as he looked at the two elders whose faces looked like they had broken palettes.
The election results came out two days later.
"The results are out."
The 11 candidates regrouped on the stage.
Lu Shizheng felt a little bit of a toothache when he saw the result.
The host also announced on stage, "The primary finalists, Yang Yinglu and Mo Biyi, please come to the stage and give your campaign speeches."
applause.
The two met on stage and shook hands in a friendly manner.
While holding hands, Mo Biyi noticed something strange. The other person's hand was very strong and he could vaguely sense the other person's hostility.
After the show, a woman in a large-brimmed hat holding a child in her arms left with Yang Yinglu.
Shangjiucheng is divided into two parts, east and west.
During the lottery, Mo Biyi chose the central and western regions, and Yang Yinglu chose the eastern region.
What the selected candidates need to do next is to restore the economy of Shangjiu Cities with their own connections and strength.
Half a month later, the winner will be the next chief, based on the recovery of the two departments.
When Lu Ce approached with the two children, Mo Biyi was still watching the family of three go away.
Lu Ce thought Mo Biyi was worried about what would happen next, so he pinched his shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid, you have your husband!"
Mo Biyi smiled at him, "Yeah."
But his mind kept thinking about the incongruity between Yang Yinglu and his family of three.
When Cheng Xueying and Lu Shizheng came down from upstairs, they happened to meet Yang Yinglu and his group. The two groups stopped halfway to chat.
A strong wind blew.
A corner of Yang Yinglu's partner's hat was lifted up.
Mo Biyi's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at the child in the man's arms again.
He seemed to know something.
Lu Ce scratched Mo Biyi's palm, which was covered with his hands, "What's wrong?"
Mo Biyi pushed Lu Ce and pulled the two children, "Let's talk in the car."
After seeing Lu Ce and the others leave, Cheng Xueying reached out and took the child from the woman in the hat. "It's windy here. Let's go home and talk!"
Cheng Xueying happily carried the child towards the car.
The woman with the brim of the hat said: "Madam Chief, I'll hold you."
Cheng Xueying waved his hand, "No need."
The child in her arms timidly said, "Madam Chief..."
Cheng Xueying lifted his nose and said, "Call me grandma."
Child: "Grandma..."
Yang Yinglu squinted his eyes as he watched their interaction. Lu Shizheng touched his arm and said, "Let's go! Let's go home and talk! Xiao Ce's brother-in-law is coming over today, he won't be home so soon!"
Yang Yinglu supported Lu Shizheng's arm and said "hmm" with a smile.
