Five mayoral candidates walked out of the TV station.

Candidate number one was a wealthy local tycoon. A line of cars lined up on the roadside waiting for him. He proudly climbed into his car and had a truck following behind him shout along the street with a loudspeaker: "Candidate number one is giving away free milk. Anyone who is a Qingliu resident can come to the truck and get a free milk bottle. First come, first served!"

In a blink of an eye, his convoy was surrounded by the elderly people in Qingliu City.

"Everyone, take your time!" Candidate Number One got out of the car and took the megaphone from his secretary. "Don't worry, don't worry. Everyone has one. Secretary, please bring over a few more trucks of milk. Everyone, remember to vote for me after you get some!"

But the frantic crowd ignored him and scrambled for milk. Many even piled onto the truck to carry the milk. No one paid any attention to the number one tycoon candidate's offer of one case of milk per person. Everyone could carry as much as they could! The normally frail-looking old man actually managed to carry four cases of milk by himself! He's truly a man of advanced age!

The truck driver got anxious when he saw everyone ignoring the rules and looting, so he quickly jumped out of the driver's seat and started fighting with those who took too much. Then the old man hit him on the head with milk, and the driver got angry too, and the two of them started fighting immediately!

This happened near the TV station, and there were many reporters. When they saw the award, they immediately took out their cameras to record the scene and posted it online with the title: Candidate No. 1 ordered his driver to beat the old man!

When the number one rich candidate saw the reporter taking pictures, he knew that he must have nothing good to say, so he hurriedly ran to the driver and fired him on the spot. Then he walked towards the reporters with several stacks of money, gave each of them several thousand yuan, and asked them to take down the news online.

However, the reporter was slow to delete the news, and many people had already copied or reposted it. For a time, candidate number one was scolded by citizens who did not know the truth, and the pace was set.

Candidate No. 2 organized a lottery. He got a lottery box and put 10,000 pieces of paper in it. One of the pieces of paper had 10,000 yuan written on it. The citizen who won the lottery would receive 10,000 yuan.

Seeing this, many citizens on the street rushed over to draw the lottery. However, due to the extremely low winning rate, most people returned empty-handed. They all cursed the second candidate for rigged the lottery and decided to turn against him. They posted angry comments on the Qingliu City Forum online.

In fact, the winning ticket of 10,000 yuan was secretly hidden by his employees, and only 9,999 non-winning tickets were put into the lottery box.

Candidate number three owns many taxi companies. He has hung banners supporting him on all the taxis and told everyone that all taxi rides are free from today until voting day.

Although the taxis all belonged to their company, the drivers were hired from outside, most of whom were of low quality. They figured, "What's the use of free taxis? You still have to pay a fee at the end of the month?" So they used the free gimmick to attract passengers, then doubled the price without using the meter. Suddenly, citizens who took taxis were fleeced like lambs.

Citizens who had taken the taxi were furious. They posted on their Moments and the Internet to curse candidate number three, and threatened that if any friends or relatives dared to vote for candidate number three, they would turn against them!

Now the only ones who were not scolded were mayoral candidates No. 4 and No. 5.

As soon as Wang Xiaohai walked to the school gate, Fang Fang and Cheng Yan were waiting for him in new clothes. Not only that, Yun Mei also came, carrying a leather bag.

"Let's do a giveaway," Fang Fang suggested. "How about I buy a truckload of mineral water and give a bottle to everyone I meet?"

"Will this work?" Yunmei asked. "Will it work if you try to bribe someone with just a bottle of water?"

"It's better than doing nothing." Cheng Yan said.

"Wasn't there a candidate delivering milk just now? He got scolded!" Yunmei said.

"Don't you find it strange? The activities of three consecutive candidates have ruined their reputations!" Cheng Yan thought, holding his chin.

"I saw a rumor on a little-known forum in Qingliu City," Fang Fang said, "that Yu Tu had bribed the employees of all three candidates."

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiaohai asked with interest.

"There was an anonymous poster on that forum who said that the driver of the first candidate had already started working at Yu Tu's company and had been promoted to driver foreman; the second employee who took the winning note also resigned and joined Yu Tu's company; the third one was even simpler. Taxi drivers all have driver groups. He only needed to bribe a few of them, become the leader, and call them in the group. People are selfish. Who wouldn't do something if they can make money without losing money? And they have the mentality of "the law does not punish the masses". They think that if others have done it, it will be okay if I do it too." Fang Fang slowly repeated the analysis of the forum.

"Sure enough, there are no accidents in the political world, everything is a carefully designed conspiracy!" Cheng Yan sighed.

"Wang Xiaohai, your opponent is quite good at scheming!" Yun Mei said, "What should we do? This guy has money, power, and brains!"

"When water comes, we drown it; when an enemy comes, we fight him." Wang Xiaohai said, "But blindly defending isn't the best strategy. We also need to prepare some backup plans. Fangfang, the task is up to you. You're a magician, so you're suited to doing sneaky things. Go collect some dirt on Yu Tu."

Fang Fang wondered when a magician would do something sneaky. He was a thief, wasn't he? But he didn't say anything. He just agreed and left.

"Where can we find citizens over the age of 18 with valid voting rights?" Yunmei discussed with everyone after seeing Fangfang leave.

"Where are the places Yu Tu would ignore?" Cheng Yan said, "We have to find some places he doesn't often go."

"How is the factory? He definitely doesn't go there often!" Yunmei said.

"No, there are so many adults in the factory, he will definitely not let it go!" said Wang Xiaohai.
