Chapter 355 Home
Another publicist chimed in, "Yes, report her and have her disqualified from running for office."
Zhang Rongguang threw down the toothpick he was using, and asked excitedly, "Besides the herbal tea, what else did Hu Xiaoxiao use to bribe the residents?"
“No more.”
"No more?"
"Yes, just send herbal tea, Brother Guang, isn't her bribe of herbal tea enough?"
"You're going to die!" Zhang Rongguang slapped him on the back of the head. "Bribing residents with herbal tea? Do you think the people above you believe it? I think you want to get me disqualified from the election!"
As a candidate, he made random reports and fabricated stories. If his superiors are unhappy, they might even disqualify him.
After scolding a few of his publicity boys, Zhang Rongguang stood in front of the stall with his hands on his hips, looking towards Hu Xiaoxiao.
Compared to the deserted stall at his own place, Hu Xiaoxiao's stall was indeed much more lively. Maybe it was the effect of being a big star, or maybe there were really people who were craving for that sip of herbal tea.
"You guys watch here." After instructing his younger brother, Zhang Rongguang walked towards Hu Xiaoxiao.
Arriving at Hu Xiaoxiao's stall, he first squeezed through the crowd to look at her. She was beautiful and approachable, no wonder so many residents loved her stall. Zhang Rongguang suddenly felt a sense of crisis: if this continued, he wouldn't be able to compete with Hu Xiaoxiao.
Zhang Rongguang was on high alert, but a smile played on his face as he leaned over. "Hey, Miss Hu, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you! I didn't expect a big star to be so approachable, personally handing out herbal tea on the street. I guess I need to learn from you."
After Hu Xiaoxiao handed a flyer to a pretty girl, he turned around and saw Zhang Rongguang and said with a smile, "Isn't this Mr. Zhang? Zhini, pour him a cup of cold tea."
All the candidates in the community will be announced, with photos and profiles posted on the bulletin board. Hu Xiaoxiao not only carefully looked at her competitors one by one, but also learned a lot of information.
This Zhang Rongguang is her biggest competitor.
Zhang Rongguang's ancestors have been from Baogang for generations and have always lived in this area. He is a local native. Not only that, many people in the community are related to him.
Long before the election, Zhang Rongguang contacted all his relatives and asked them to vote for him.
According to Feng Junhao's investigation report, Zhang Rongguang had a domineering personality and had been involved in gangs when he was young. Many people in the village were afraid of him.
Perhaps appearance reflects the heart. Even though Zhang Rongguang had a smile on his face, there was still a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Since entering the film industry, Hu Xiaoxiao has seen many vicious and cruel people, especially those who are in charge of various societies. Compared with those people, Zhang Rongguang is child's play.
Zhang Rongguang took the herbal tea from Ye Zhini and took a sip. It was very sweet, as sweet as sugar water. He took another sip, walked to the stall, picked up a flyer and began to read it.
After reading the flyer, his eyes rolled as he watched Hu Xiaoxiao patiently interact with a resident, without a trace of celebrity airs. His face darkened, he finished his herbal tea, put down the cup, and returned to his stall.
"Brother Guang, you just went to check it out, right? How was it?"
As soon as Zhang Rongguang returned to the stall, the publicity guys surrounded him and asked about the situation.
Zhang Rongguang rolled his eyes. "None of your business! Stay here and hand out some flyers to the residents. Also, remember to tell the uncles and aunties that I'll treat them to a nice meal after I'm elected."
After saying this, Zhang Rongguang yawned and felt sleepy. He handed the stall to a few of his younger brothers and prepared to go back for a nap. After nap and dinner, he would come back to check on the stall.
After showing up at the stall twice, Hu Xiaoxiao handed it over to Feng Junhao and started promoting her business elsewhere.
The jurisdiction of Dafang Community was not small to begin with, and it became even larger after the construction of Tiancui City.
Tiancui City is temporarily under the management of Dafang Community, which means that Tiancui City also has voters.
Hu Xiaoxiao checked the information and found that there were quite a few people registered as voters in Tiancui City. Although not as many as the indigenous people in several nearby villages, the residents living in Tiancui City pursued more independent democracy and were more enthusiastic about elections than the villagers. Therefore, there were quite a few voters registered in this community.
This is the number of people who have not yet moved into the later phases of Tiancui City. If they had moved in, the number of people would be even greater.
Hu Xiaoxiao took a large stack of flyers and went to Xie's restaurant for morning tea early in the morning, and distributed flyers to the neighbors who came for tea.
Hu Xiaoxiao often came to the restaurant for tea and was very familiar with the residents of Tiancui City. He handed out flyers and said, "We are all neighbors, remember to vote for me."
"Of course, of course, Miss Hu is going to run for election, and everyone will of course support you." A regular customer who was drinking tea in the restaurant took the flyer from Hu Xiaoxiao and assured.
Hu Xiaoxiao was familiar with them, so he wasn't so polite. He said directly, "You have to keep your promise. You have to be as honest as your teeth. Don't vote for someone else on voting day, or just be too lazy to vote."
The other diners were not polite to Hu Xiaoxiao either. Everyone was talking and joking around, and even the atmosphere in the restaurant became lively.
The restaurant manager came over with a tactful look and asked Hu Xiaoxiao for a stack of flyers. He said, "Ms. Hu, please put some flyers here. Whenever a customer comes to eat or drink, we will give them one. We will also promote Ms. Hu and help her canvass for votes."
"You're so smart." Hu Xiaoxiao praised: "You're so smart. When Master Xie comes back, I'll ask him to give you a raise."
"Ms. Hu, you must keep your word and treat your teeth as gold. Don't forget it again when Mr. Xie comes back." The restaurant manager repeated what Hu Xiaoxiao had just said to him.
Hu Xiaoxiao was amused by him and said, "I can't forget it. I have a good memory."
The restaurant was packed with customers, making it a great canvassing venue. Not only did Hu Xiaoxiao come over to hand out flyers, but Zhang Rongguang also brought a younger brother with him. He came in with a stack of flyers and happened to see Hu Xiaoxiao chatting and laughing with a group of diners.
Hu Xiaoxiao's sharp eyes spotted Zhang Rongguang, but she seemed not to notice the flyer in his hand and waved at him, "Mr. Zhang, would you like to join us for tea? Come and sit over here. It's my treat today."
Seeing that Hu Xiaoxiao had taken the main position, Zhang Rongguang hesitated for a moment, then walked over with a smile on his face, "A big star is treating me, I'd rather obey than be polite."
Hu Xiaoxiao asked the waiter to brew a fresh pot of tea, using the fine tea she had stored there. She placed the menu in front of Zhang Rongguang. "This restaurant's breakfast is excellent, especially the signature shrimp dumplings. They use fresh live shrimp, peeled, wrapped, and steamed fresh, so they're incredibly sweet. We also have a variety of rice noodle rolls, made with rice paste ground with a stone mill. They're incredibly delicious."
"Big star, please have tea. Don't worry, I won't be polite." Zhang Rongguang took the menu and ordered several dishes.
Hu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We're all neighbors, why are you being so formal? Just call me Xiaoxiao."
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. With Miss Hu's fame and wealth, how could she possibly be on par with us lowly people?" Zhang Rongguang said with a grin, "I think Miss Hu is so famous and knows so many important people. She could easily become a Legislative Council member. She wouldn't be afraid of losing her status if she ran for a small district council position."
