Chapter 356 Peaceful Resolution
The waiter brought over the freshly brewed tea. Hu Xiaoxiao picked it up and poured a cup for Zhang Rongguang, and also poured a cup for Zhang Rongguang's younger brother next to him.
Then, put the teapot down.
Facing Zhang Rongguang's smiling face but with an inquiring look in his eyes, Hu Xiaoxiao smiled slowly: "Mr. Zhang has good taste. You can see this."
Zhang Rongguang's eyes flashed, and he understood what Hu Xiaoxiao meant. The District Council was just her starting point, and her ultimate goal was to move towards a greater future.
While he was thinking rapidly in his mind and making up his mind, Hu Xiaoxiao said to him meaningfully, "Thanks to the support of several civil affairs officials, I am running for election. Mr. Zhang, four years will pass quickly. By then, Dafang Community will belong to its people. It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy, isn't it, Mr. Zhang?"
The smile on Zhang Rongguang's face froze for a moment.
Does this mean that the people above support Hu Xiaoxiao?
Zhang Rongguang looked around the restaurant. People living in Tiancui City were either rich or noble, almost all of them were people of status. Hu Xiaoxiao could befriend them on an equal footing. In a sense, their status was equal.
Looking at the different attitude of Xie Family Restaurant towards Hu Xiaoxiao, it is obvious that the relationship between Hu Xiaoxiao and the Xie family is better than what is reported outside.
With such strong connections behind him, if Hu Xiaoxiao was not too young and unable to convince the public, Zhang Rongguang suspected that Hu Xiaoxiao could have directly run for election in the Legislative Council.
Zhang Rongguang appears to have a bad temper, but his mind is very flexible. He also heard from Hu Xiaoxiao's words, "The people of Dafang Community ultimately belong to the people of Dafang Community", that Hu Xiaoxiao would only be in office for four years, and after four years, this Bodhisattva would change his position.
Only one district councilor can be elected. Does Hu Xiaoxiao want him to give up this term and run for the next one?
The smile on Zhang Rongguang's face faded a lot. "District councillors are elected by vote, not by appointment. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as elections."
"I've calculated that although there are quite a few members of the Zhang clan in Dafang community, compared with the total population, it's not enough." Hu Xiaoxiao calmly stated various data, including the total population of Dafang community, the number of registered voters, and the disputes between these voters and the Zhang clan.
The Zhang family has a large presence in Dafang, and inevitably they get into disputes with others because of their numbers. Therefore, Zhang Rongguang is not without his shortcomings in Dafang. Anyone the Zhang family offends will definitely not choose him.
Hu Xiaoxiao, with his previous good deeds as a foundation, had won the favor of many voters. He could then win over some people who disliked the Zhang family, and finally win over some neutral people, giving him a great chance of winning.
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished his analysis, the smile on Zhang Rongguang's face completely disappeared. He said, "Since Miss Hu is so confident, why bother talking so much nonsense to me?"
"Because I like making friends." Hu Xiaoxiao said generously, "More friends means more paths. Mr. Zhang has made things easier for me. If Mr. Zhang needs help during his next election, I can also help him out."
Hu Xiaoxiao almost told him clearly that if he didn't cause trouble this time and let her be elected safely, and if he could safely spend four years and accumulate merits, she would help him in the next election.
It's not easy to accomplish something, but it's all too easy to mess it up. The Zhang family is a native of the Dafang community. If Zhang Rongguang loses, becomes dissatisfied, and starts causing trouble everywhere, Hu Xiaoxiao will be in trouble for the next four years.
This is also the reason why Hu Xiaoxiao invited Zhang Rongguang to tea and spoke to him in a nice tone, mainly to prevent Zhang Rongguang from causing trouble.
If something can be resolved peacefully, try to resolve it peacefully. It is always better than having a head-on fight later.
If Zhang Rongguang is sensible and cooperates with her for the next four years, she will definitely give him some face after four years.
Zhang Rongguang is not a stupid man. He heard it clearly and understood it clearly.
He picked up the teacup as if drinking tea, but in his mind he was quickly calculating his gains and losses.
After slowly taking a sip of tea, he slowly put down the teacup, his face full of smiles again, picked up the menu, and said, "Miss Hu is willing to treat us, so I won't be polite today. I must order a few more dishes."
Hu Xiaoxiao's eyebrows gradually relaxed, and it was obvious that the result was as she wished. "Mr. Zhang is polite, but he looks down on me. And the handsome guy next to you, just order whatever you want."
Zhang Rongguang's younger brother laughed dryly and looked at Zhang Rongguang secretly: Aren't they here for promotion? Why are they drinking tea with their competitors?
The younger brother couldn't understand the witty banter between Hu Xiaoxiao and Zhang Rongguang. While the guests at another table were talking to Hu Xiaoxiao, he pulled up his chair, scooted closer to Zhang Rongguang, and whispered, "Brother Guang, why are you ordering food? We're not short of money, so why do we need her to treat us? It's like she's so powerful."
Zhang Rongguang raised his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. "Eat if you can. You're drooling more than tea."
How can he run for election against Hu Xiaoxiao when his subordinates are dumber than each other?
The younger brother rubbed the back of his head, thinking he'd figured it out. He chuckled twice and then quietly leaned over and said, "I get it. Brother Guang wants me to eat more and talk less, so that she can go broke. Don't worry, Brother Guang, when it comes to eating, I'm the best! I'll order everything on the menu right now and pack up a few big bags to give back to the guy running the stall, so she can make a fortune!"
The way Zhang Rongguang looked at his younger brother made him lose the energy to hit him.
I could only secretly convince myself: Although he might be a little stupid, at least he obeys orders. Four years from now, when he becomes a district councilor, there will be a lot of dirty and hard work to do in the community, so he will still be useful...
After Hu Xiaoxiao finished chatting with the guests at the next table, he saw Zhang Rongguang just drinking tea while his younger brother kept placing orders. He said, "I bought a lot of good tea from Luo Cheng's tea shop. If you like it, Mr. Zhang, you can take two bags away later."
Hu Xiaoxiao often comes to the restaurant to eat and drink tea, so he keeps most of the tea here and asks the waiter to bring it to brew when needed.
This is one of the services provided by Xie's Restaurant. Not only do regular customers store their tea here, but they also store their wine. The restaurant has special cabinets for storing tea and wine.
The Xie family wants to make Tiancui City the face of the group and pays great attention to the owners' experience. Therefore, the Xie family's restaurants and other stores nearby pay great attention to service.
Similarly, the consumption is extremely high and not affordable for ordinary people.
I was someone who couldn't afford it, so I finally had a chance to eat a big meal. I felt my stomach and, with the idea of eating Hu Xiaoxiao out of money, I ordered a lot from the menu. Not only did I order all the snacks, but I also ordered all the main dishes for the dinner.
"Luo Cheng? Is that Luo Sheng, the leader of the Yi Hai Gang?" Zhang Rongguang had spent some time in gangs when he was young, so he was naturally familiar with Luo Cheng's name. He quickly asked, "Miss Hu, are you friends with Luo Sheng?"
