The announcement of the West District re-election list caused considerable unrest among the city's residents.
"Zhou Meimei is so tall and has a square face, how did she get selected?"
"She's quite beautiful, radiant and elegant. Especially when she smiles, she shines brighter than the energy lamps hanging on the city gate!"
"Hmph, what about Huang Xiaohua? Her eyes are as small as beans, and her single eyelids are so mean. She always squints when she looks at people, and she has a look of disdain on her face..."
"But her eyes weren't swollen at all, her nose was high and straight, her face was smooth, and she looked particularly... particularly... I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always felt that she was so beautiful that people couldn't reach her."
"What can I say about Bai Mei? She's a perfectly pretty girl, all that good looks, but her tall stature and big arms are holding her back. Instead of staying home and working out, she has the nerve to come out and embarrass herself!"
"You dare spout such nonsense? Go stand in front of her and I'll punch three of you. Look at her figure, so well-proportioned and beautiful! Even someone picking up trash can bend over more gracefully than you! You complain about this and that, but she was chosen by the district head, who represents the will of the Moon Goddess! You dare question the Moon Goddess?!"
"How could I dare? The person chosen by the Moon Goddess is the most beautiful. Alas, in previous years the Moon Goddess preferred petite, fair-skinned, and delicate girls, but why this year..."
"Hmph, I bet it's because you raised your son to be fair-skinned and delicate that he wasn't selected, and that's why you're making sarcastic remarks here!"
...
No matter how much discussion the city residents have about the primary election results, they cannot have any influence on them.
After the Dream Star candidates who participated in the second round of voting made their appearances, there will be a two-day public voting period.
People like Bai Xiaomi, Xingxing, and Zhu Guanshan, whose appearances perfectly match the mainstream aesthetic of Dream City, saw their votes increase very quickly in the early stages.
Bai Xiaomi, in particular, was garnered votes by his family by distributing food. Even those who disliked him were willing to vote for him for a bite of food.
At this moment, the white cat's door was tightly closed, and the entrance was crowded with waiting people.
Xia Chuhe tried to go out, but was immediately stopped by the white cat's guards.
"What's going on?" Xia Chuhe asked.
The guard gave a wry smile: "You should go ask Ms. White Cat. Please wait patiently in your room. Just get through these two days."
Even without looking for the white cat, Xia Chuhe could easily figure out why those people were blocking the door with just a little thought.
The second round of elections appears to be a public vote, reasonable and fair. In reality, the district head has one vote in favor and one veto, so the final decision rests with the district head.
If these people can curry favor with the district head through the white cat, they can slightly influence the voting results.
Xia Chuhe immediately hatched a wicked plan and excitedly went to find Li Yue.
"I've got a great idea! Let's find a few people in the market first, then spread the word..."
Xia Chuhe explained the plan in detail to Li Yue, asking her to organize it. Li Yue had business experience and was adept at handling buying and selling matters.
We couldn't go through the front door, so we had to climb the wall.
As soon as Li Yue walked into the backyard, she saw Xingxing perched on a chair, leaning against the wall.
Xingxing's siblings were huddled near the white cat's house, using food to campaign for her. With Xingxing's big, silly older brother standing by, no one dared to bully Xingxing's family for a while.
Xingxing: "Why didn't Mom come?"
Younger sister: "Mom's leg pain has flared up again, so she's resting at home."
Xingxing: "Mom went out to collect trash again?"
Younger sister: "Um... Mom told me not to tell you."
Beside the small stall, the younger brother pulled out a cloth bag and secretly rummaged through it for food.
Xingxing: "Is there enough food at home?"
The younger sister quickly replied, "That's enough to eat."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Big Fool interrupted, "Hungry, Xingmei, hungry."
Xingxing sighed, "Stop campaigning. Pack your things and go home. If you campaign and he campaigns, in the end it will just come down to whoever has more food and whoever gets to the final election. The Moon Goddess won't allow that to happen."
The younger sister insisted on staying: "We can't rest easy. If others have it, Sister Xingxing should have it too."
Xingxing said sternly, "Are you disobeying me?"
It's clear that Xingxing is the one who truly holds the reins and whose words carry weight in this family.
The younger sister didn't dare to insist too much, so she had to pack up and leave with her brothers.
Before leaving, she handed Xingxing a wooden carving: "Mom said you left in a hurry and didn't take anything with you, so she asked me to give you the toy your brother made."
The wood carving depicts a woman with slender legs and a large body, who looks like a dark-skinned woman.
Xingxing gave them a few more words of advice, which were nothing more than taking care of each other, not overworking themselves, and not doing bad things.
Li Yue watched the whole thing before leaving the white cat's house and proceeding according to plan.
...
That afternoon, a piece of news quietly spread through the market—
There's a shop that has connections with the district head; if you prepare enough grain, the shop owner is willing to act as an intermediary. Spots are limited, highest bidder wins.
Those who were focused on scheming in the Dream Star election quickly found the source of the information (Li Qiusheng).
To find out the location of a shop, you first need to verify your financial strength. This verification means demonstrating your capabilities; you must have at least a thousand kilograms of food to be eligible to participate in the bidding and learn about the shop's location.
Li Qiusheng examined the assets displayed by each of these people, selected those with more than a thousand catties of grain, explained that there were only five spots available, and asked them to make their bids.
If you are among the top five bidders, you will be able to purchase a spot. If your bid is too low, you will be eliminated and will not be eligible to obtain a store or even meet the store manager.
Among those who participated in the bidding, some were cautious by nature, bidding less than half of their fortune. Others, however, went all in, pouring in the resources of their entire family.
Therefore, the five families ultimately chosen were not the wealthiest, but those most loyal to the Moon Goddess.
