By noon, number four Yu Tu was still leading in votes.
He looked at Wang Xiaohai proudly in the TV station lobby, thinking, "So what if you slander me? I will still be ahead in the votes, and I will become the mayor in the end. You will be in trouble then!"
Wang Xiaohai sat on the sofa, drinking tea quietly.
The TV station staff brought the food to the dining table and arranged it in rows.
Everyone was a little hungry, so they sat down and started eating.
As Yu Tu reached out to grab a hamburger, Wang Xiaohai snatched it away.
"Do you want to eat this burger?" Yu Tu asked unhappily.
"I don't want to eat it!" Wang Xiaohai handed it to a staff member next to him, "You eat it."
The staff thanked Wang Xiaohai and took it.
Yu Tu was furious. Was this guy a mayoral candidate, or a scoundrel? Which candidate wasn't refined and elegant? And yet there was such a weirdo!
Yu Tu secretly glanced at Wang Xiaohai, only to see that Wang Xiaohai was concentrating on gnawing on a chicken leg and didn't notice him. He suddenly reached out for a hot dog at an incredible speed.
Wang Xiaohai's elbow accidentally hit a tea lid on the table, and the lid flew out, knocking the hot dog away and falling to the ground together.
"Ah!" Yu Tu cried out in disappointment. He looked at Wang Xiaohai, who was still gnawing on the chicken leg with his head down, without even looking at him.
Was it an accident?
Yu Tu quietly reached out to the small cake on the table. This time, he moved very slowly, making it difficult for people to notice. Twenty centimeters... ten centimeters... five centimeters...
"Snap." Wang Xiaohai stretched out his right hand and picked up the cake in his hand.
"You--" Yu Tu was angry. He finally understood that this guy did it on purpose!
But he was a candidate for mayor, a calm and composed person, and shouldn't be angry with this brat! Yu Tu suppressed his anger, thinking about the pleasure he would feel when he became mayor in a few hours, and stopped arguing with Wang Xiaohai.
"If you want to eat this cake, just take it." Yu Tu pretended to be generous in front of everyone.
"But I'm full." said Wang Xiaohai.
Veins popped out on Yu Tu’s forehead. This guy said this on purpose to irritate him!
"You're still taking it after you're full?" Yu Tu said.
"I only realized I was full when I took it in my hand." Wang Xiaohai explained, "How about I return the cake to you?"
"If you are willing to pay it back, then pay it back." Yu Tu said.
"Okay, take it!" Wang Xiaohai threw the cake back to Yu Tu.
Candidate Yu Tu was just about to reach out to catch it, but he didn't expect that the cake was not only coming at a very fast speed, but also at a tricky angle, and it hit him in the face, smashing it into pieces!
Yu Tu's face looked like it had been painted by his kindergarten friends, with the colorful paint arranged into strange shapes, making him look a bit like a circus clown!
A deafening laugh erupted in the TV station lobby, nearly breaking the glass windows!
"Wang Xiaohai, you are going too far. I'm going to fight you!" Yu Tu rushed towards Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai thought to himself, when you invited so many reporters and unscrupulous self-media editors to attack me, you probably didn't expect this result, right?
Yu Tu had just taken two steps when he was stopped by his bodyguard.
"Boss, he's from the martial arts academy." said the bodyguard wearing sunglasses.
Yu Tu was like being showered with cold water, and suddenly woke up. That's right! This guy is from the martial arts academy, deliberately provoking him so that he can beat him up with justification!
"I won't fight with you!" Yu Tu walked out of the hall and went to the bathroom nearby, intending to wash his face.
Isn't it just a meal? I can just skip it, it's no big deal if I go hungry, Yu Tu thought.
When he washed his face and returned to his seat, another piece of cake hit his face, and his freshly washed face became dirty again.
"My hand slipped!" Wang Xiaohai said at the dining table.
Candidate number four, Yu Tu, had no choice but to go to the bathroom to wash his face again. This time he learned his lesson and waited until the staff had cleared all the food on the table before returning.
Wang Xiaohai couldn't kill someone in the lobby of the TV station to silence him. If he did, he would lose his position as mayor and would probably be wanted nationwide.
Time passed by minute by minute...
The vote counts for the five candidates are slowly increasing, with number four Yu Tu still maintaining first place.
Cheng Yan and the other three who were watching TV in the dormitory had already given up.
"Lost." Yunmei said.
"I tried hard, but it was useless," Fang Fang said.
"What a pity that the old bastard became the mayor," said Qin Jie.
"I told you to assassinate him a long time ago, but you didn't listen!" Cheng Yan said.
At four o'clock, a video appeared on the Internet and spread throughout Qingliu City as quickly as a virus.
Video title: Wang Xiaohai seeks justice for workers, even at the cost of turning against his own family!
The content of the video is exactly the entire incident between Wang Xiaohai and others outside the garment factory. Of course, it has been edited to delete irrelevant parts, and the incident of several hours has been edited into only half an hour.
After watching the video, many Qingliu citizens became fans of Wang Xiaohai and planned to vote for him.
At five o'clock, more and more people began to line up in front of the ballot box.
Wang Xiaohai's vote share began to rise sharply.
At half past five, his votes surpassed Yu Tu's, and he maintained the lead until the end, at which point his votes were three times Yu Tu's.
Although his vote share only accounted for 3% of Qingliu City’s total population, he was at least first among the five candidates!
"Congratulations to the new mayor Wang Xiaohai!" Everyone in the TV station cheered.
Outside the TV station, there were salutes and fireworks, just like the New Year!
Several people in Wang Xiaohai's dormitory high-fived and cheered!
The two girls cried and shouted: "I knew he would succeed, he has the ability!"
Yu Tu collapsed on the sofa, looking as if he had lost his spirit and had aged nearly ten years. Several policemen came to the TV station lobby and took him away for questioning. He was no longer a mayoral candidate and no longer had protection against arrest.
"Congratulations to the new mayor!" Cheng Yan's father walked over to Wang Xiaohai and shook his hand. "The audience in front of the TV is waiting for you to make your inaugural speech."
"Thank you, thank you." Wang Xiaohai shook hands with the people who came to celebrate around him one by one, and then walked towards the studio hall.
"Congratulations, Mayor Wang!" said the TV hostess, "From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the best among the five candidates!" She handed the microphone to Wang Xiaohai.
Wang Xiaohai walked to the podium in the center of the studio, cleared his throat, and began to speak:
"Actually, I was surprised to be elected mayor. I don't have much political talent or political capital, and I always thought I was just going through the motions. But I was unexpectedly elected mayor of Qingliu City! This doesn't mean I'm great, it just means others are terrible! To those who trusted me and voted for me, I promise you that I will work hard to control pollution and build a vocational college as I promised! Thank you to everyone watching the live broadcast in my dorm. Without your efforts, I wouldn't be standing here. Thank you to everyone who voted for me!"
Wang Xiaohai put down the microphone and walked out of the studio.
A woman in uniform approached Wang Xiaohai and said, "Hello, Mayor Wang. I am Lina, the chief secretary of the Municipal Government Secretariat. Please arrive at the Municipal Government before ten o'clock tomorrow to take over the work left by the former mayor as soon as possible."
