Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Honest people are more suitable for this job...
Korialun is really patient. When the duck that was about to reach his mouth was snatched away by someone else, he had to put on a smile and pretend that he didn't refuse to eat it but that there was something more delicious.
He had previously wanted to get engaged to Kanoka and hook up with Cutler, paving the way for his own jury service. But I blocked that path, so he had no choice but to diligently work his way up the Senate. And then I intervened again and snatched his position as Vice President. I feel bad for him just thinking about it.
Hehe, but I'm the one who benefits, so he has to endure it. It feels so good, and it feels even better when I think about how he'll look at me in the next few days with fear and hatred, and subconsciously clench his buttocks.
But I have a more serious matter now.
Cutler asked me to marry Kanoka at the end of next month.
This is a bit too serious, even involving my principles. I just told Cassena today that I would not marry Kanoka, and I was arranged to marry that night.
After fooling Kanoka and Cutler, I raised my stubborn hands on the hospital bed and threw a set of military punches at the air above.
Calm down, Xiaobai. Getting married isn't a big deal. Haven't you done many other wicked things?
What a shame is that he did too many bad things and that's why he got the retribution!
After a brainstorming session, I suddenly felt refreshed, and an unprecedented idea hit my mind, which made me suddenly enlightened.
The wedding is happening at the end of next month, so what's the big deal? I've been in Shangxing City for three months now. Who would have thought that before I came here, I was a gigolo who relied on gigolos to become a court intern?
As the saying goes, things will work out when the time comes. There must be other ways!
"Oh! This is such a refreshing break!" I sighed from the bottom of my heart.
"Hahaha!" Fan Su laughed heartily.
Me: “…How long have you been here?”
"Probably when you were blackmailing the air," Fan Su said with a smile. "The sight of you twisting like a bug on the bed was quite bizarre."
"That's enough, let's get down to business."
Fan Su also knew that time was tight and the task was heavy. After laughing at me for a few times, she pulled a chair over and sat next to my bed and started talking about what big things she had done while I was not in Shangxing City.
It's pretty much the same news as Cutler told me.
Hai Jin died, the vice president was imprisoned, she became the president and I became the vice president.
Unlike Carter, Fansu has already obtained evidence of Corialon bribing members of the clergy, which saves me from framing him in the future.
"Do you want to take Horry down now?" Fan Su asked.
My fingers tapped the quilt subconsciously, but there was no sound.
After a moment's thought, I said, "It's not necessary now. Coriaron is still useful. He and Cutler have reached some kind of common interest. I'm worried that if I really deal with him, it would alert the enemy."
Fan Su understood, propped up his knees with his elbows, and looked at me with interest: "The leader said, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
I nodded and then fell into deeper thought.
White Light Bay's current focus is on eliminating the remnants of the rebels, leaving them with no time to manage public opinion in the Keya region. To maintain a balanced control, Ascend City will increase its top-down controls, with the Senate and jury having a greater say than before.
I can make good plans during this period of time, and it would be best if I could get the Jane family and the Horry family under my control.
So how do I do it?
"Fan Su, do you know the eldest daughter of the Jian family?"
Fan Su raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Her? The war is intense, and the arms business is booming. To prevent any accidents, she went to the Keya District to supervise the work last month."
I felt that her tone didn't sound like that of a stranger, so I gave Fan Su a puzzled look.
Fan Su smiled brightly, "She also cooperates with our organization. Overall, she is an excellent businessman."
I understand. As long as you pay, there's no problem.
"You want to win her over?" Fan Su asked. "It's a bit difficult. She only cares about the money she earns. She doesn't want money given to her for free."
Awesome, and a principled businessman. He can't afford Baidengwan's money, and he looks down on the reconstruction money. Whoever comes here doesn't say he has principles.
"Her brothers aren't any good either?" I meant Tiwen and Kirsten.
Fan Su's eyes suddenly became subtle, mixed with teasing and ridicule, "You can give it a try, we didn't have as much ability as you before."
"...your compliment really doesn't sound right to me." I choked.
After that, Fan Su explained some other things and quickly ran away through the window.
I was finally able to rest up and relax in bed.
I have to say that the medical conditions in Shangxing City are really good. I stayed in the hospital bed for a week and then I could move around freely.
During this period, I did not forget to watch various news to see how the public opinion in Keya District has developed.
On the screen, the reporter stood in a relatively safe position, with the camera lens aimed at the densely packed crowd holding signs downstairs.
The march and strike of 3,000 people was a huge improvement compared to the past.
But everyone was very legal and compliant, staying quietly within the cordon without crossing it even a little, and even controlling the volume to avoid disturbing other people working nearby.
When the reporter handed the microphone to the organizer of the parade, he first showed the parade approval document instead of the words on the sign. This shows that the citizens of the Keya District are still very civilized.
“What are the main demands of your march?”
The beta male led the march, his face furious yet restrained. He grabbed the reporter's microphone and said, "I hope the people of Ascend City and White Light Bay will give us an explanation! What exactly is white ore? Why would White Light Bay sacrifice so many soldiers and waste our tax dollars to negotiate with the rebels? We need an explanation! What do White Light Bay and Ascend City think of us, the citizens of Keya District!"
"Is the establishment of this new type of city for us or for Baideng Bay?"
He tried very hard to express his anger, but in the end he was a little gentle.
After watching the live broadcast, I looked away and stopped watching.
Inside the Senate building, everyone was in a hurry, and they stepped aside respectfully as they passed me.
Yes, I am the vice president now!
So cool!
As I walked into the elevator, I saw Corey Yalun again.
He clearly didn't want to be alone with me, but I still made room for him with a smile and waved warmly, "Senator Horry, what a coincidence! You're going to the meeting room too. Come on, let's go together."
"Need not."
"Why are you being so polite?" I dragged him into the elevator and waved to his assistant, "You, go to the other elevator."
Assistant: ...
He could only go somewhere else in shame.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Corey Yalun subconsciously squeezed his buttocks together and lifted his head high.
"Are you nervous?"
Ke Liya Lun sneered, "Deputy Dean, you've been in the military zone for a few days and still haven't learned to speak?"
"Do I need to learn this?" I asked him back. "I thought this was something you needed to learn. Well, you learned it to please me."
His expression changed, "You!"
I suddenly lowered my head and looked at him submissively, "Why do you always give me a bad face? We have done this before."
When talking about the experience of "being exposed to the point of almost crying", Ke Liyalun's face became even uglier.
This is what an alpha person is like. He will be very picky about the slightest bit of damage to his dignity.
Didn't I suffer any loss? In order to expose him, I used the organization's medicine and physical strength. Miners are also workers and need to be paid.
And it’s not like he didn’t enjoy it.
But I choose to forgive Coriaron generously.
Alas, it is said that identity and class will make people develop a sense of shame and morality. I have been corrupted by the hateful power and money, so I only want to be decent.
So I sighed even more, feeling melancholy, and said in a low voice, "Coria Lun, you know I'm having a hard time in the military zone. The commander even suspected I was responsible for Katsuna's disappearance. I swear to God, I just wanted to be a senator until I die."
Ke Liya Lun didn't believe my nonsense. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at me coldly from the other side of the elevator. "Bai Wuyong, you don't have to try so hard to please me. I know what you're thinking."
I raised my eyes slightly, consolidating the image of an honest man that I hadn't picked up for a long time.
Hey, the people in the military zone are all shrewd. They can’t get away with being honest, so they just use their fists to solve any problem.
Uptown is still the best. Everyone works together to do evil things. As an honest person, I feel like a fish in water, just like a cockroach crawling into a garbage dump.
"Why do you always think so badly of me?" I asked him back. "Do you think I'm irresponsible and never admits anything after doing something? But have you ever thought that if I hadn't worked hard, would I be alive to see you now?"
"Indeed, generally speaking, if a low-class bastard like you doesn't scheme hard and scheme hard, it's impossible for you to climb to this position." Corey Yalun sneered.
I think I was too gentle with Corialon.
As for sexism and class discrimination, I also do it, and I'm even better at it than him.
But this doesn't mean others can treat me like this. You have to know that Xiaobai has evolved.
"Oh, Coriaron," I sighed, "I did that because you always seem unwilling to listen."
"What?" Korialon frowned.
I felt even sadder. I looked up at him with eyes filled with love but not having to, having to, blah blah blah. In short, there were complex and layered emotions. "I didn't touch Kanoka."
"Hehe, this has something to do with me..." Korialon said halfway, suddenly realized something, and closed his mouth as if he was disgusted.
I continued to disgust him, my tone dark, "Corey Alon, I understand you. If you put yourself in his shoes, I wouldn't want to be associated with a low-level bastard beta either. But many things happen, and they just happen. Are you going to keep running away from them?"
The blond, blue-eyed alpha male still had a cold expression, but his trembling pupils revealed the huge shock going on in his heart.
As if he was hit on the head by something, his mouth opened and closed, as if he was about to speak, but he stopped, trying to make some rebuttal sound from his throat, but no sound came out.
I took the initiative to speak up for him. "I don't expect too much. In fact, that short time was enough for me to cherish. I'm just sad. Sad that even after working so hard to climb to this position, I couldn't even get a kind look from you."
"The head of the group asked me to marry Kanoka next month. I don't want to, but when I think of you, I think it's okay. Do you want the position of vice president? How about next month? I will voluntarily leave the Senate next month and give the position to you."
Leaving the Senate to join the jury is voluntary.
Korialon looked at me like I was a fool. "You?"
We arrived at the floor, and the second the door opened, I returned to my normal serious demeanor and said, "Let's go, the meeting has started."
Korialon behind me stayed in the elevator for a while, then followed me out of the elevator.
When they arrived at the meeting room, Fan Su, as the dean, was the first to arrive.
She was quietly discussing something with her followers. When I walked in, she immediately came over and patted my shoulder warmly. "Xiaobai, you've changed a lot since returning from the military zone. You're truly the hero who shot and killed the rebel leader. Now, not only are you in Shangxing City and Keya District, but I've also received many messages from Baideng Bay, all praising you."
I smiled shyly and naively, scratched my cheek, glanced quickly at Corialon, and whispered, "It's all thanks to General Kasena's timely appearance. I was just lucky."
"Hahaha, don't be so modest." Fan Su slapped my shoulder hard again, hitting my unhealed wound several times.
With a modest smile on my face, I elbowed Fansu hard in the kidney from behind and got hurt.
Fan Su smiled brightly and talked to me about clothes from an angle where no one else could see, allowing me to see the bulletproof vest underneath.
"Since you are in a high position of power, you must always pay attention to your personal safety."
Me: ...Fansu, I want Rolatini to give me your salary too!
After a brief greeting, I took the seat of vice president.
Fan Su personally presided over the meeting. Her smile grew increasingly brighter as she glanced around the nearly ten empty seats in the conference room. She said, "So, does anyone have anyone you'd like to recommend?"
The long-term planning has finally paid off.
