With the end of the Shangjing Survivors Alliance, Mayor Liu, who belonged to Ding Liwei's faction, stepped down, and the position of the mayor of Pingan Street became vacant.
Many people were eagerly waiting for the position of mayor.
Those councilors who were once depressed and had walked further away from Ding Liwei and Wan Peng seemed to have been rejuvenated and were doing their best to perform or perform.
Those politicians who had no ability themselves and relied on flattery to obtain official positions also offered their utmost flattery. They almost knelt under the banner of NAC and sang praises for NAC. What's more, they even sent their wives and daughters to the door of the General's barracks in the name of "condolences" in order to sit on the throne of the mayor.
Especially when Song Chenyu was promoted to the position of the city defense chief of Pingan Street, in charge of the four gates of Pingan Street, collecting gate taxes, and assisting the garrison to maintain law and order, the politicians of Pingan Street were keenly aware of the signal released by NAC.
Jiang Chen didn't seem to have plans to parachute a high-level official. In the future, Shangjing would still be governed by local survivors!
The proudest was undoubtedly Xu Tiannan. When Jiang Chen moved against the Shangjing Survivors Alliance, not only did he not stand up, but he also decisively distanced himself from Ding Liwei and Wan Peng. Originally, the people of the Guardian Sect were also tracking the whereabouts of Line 0, but when they heard NAC's intervention, they immediately stopped.
Thinking about it this way, Xu Tiannan had a high chance of winning as the mayor!
However, when the mayor was finally elected, everyone was taken aback.
NAC did not parachute a high-level official from Wanghai, but it also did not choose a candidate for mayor from the original bureaucratic group in Shangjing. Instead, it chose an unknown businessman who commuted between Shangjing and Haizhou all year round.
And he was in the fur business.
How can such a small character be the mayor? Isn't this nonsense!
"Why choose him?"
Zhao Qiuran looked at Liu Wendi, who was standing in front of the square and delivering a speech, and was puzzled.
Even from the perspective of an outsider, this choice was difficult to understand.
"Does it matter who I choose?" Jiang Chen said in a relaxed tone, "There is no one in Shangjing that I can trust. Instead of choosing someone who's good at currying favor but disobeys my orders, it's better to choose someone who's obedient and reliable. "
Jiang Chen smiled, turned around, and walked toward the camp.
"After all, if you don't understand, you can always ask. It's been so many years since the end of the world, who hasn't started learning from scratch? "
Having been a leader for so many years, he knew very well what kind of people should be used for different positions.
The Sixth Street needed a business genius like Chu Nan, but the situation on Pingan Street was different.
Instead of choosing an untrustworthy agent, it was better to choose someone who had no foundation here but knew everything about this place. In this way, he wouldn't be fooled by the people here, but he wouldn't be able to do anything with his own strength. If he wanted to gain a foothold on Pingan Street with complicated forces, he must cling tightly to NAC.
Under this check and balance relationship, the mayor and the council would never be able to become one, and the mayor far away would never be able to fool Jiang Chen hundreds of kilometers away.
Loyalty maintained in this way was much more reliable than slavery chips and electronic collars. After all, the binding force brought by the latter was only applicable to ordinary people under the power class.
Zhao Qiuran saw Jiang Chen leave and hurriedly followed behind him.
On the way back to the barracks, Jiang Chen was thinking about the next arrangements.
The candidate for mayor had been determined, and the only thing left was to cut the cake again and appease Xu Tiannan's faction. Ding Liwei and Wan Peng had been uprooted, and Xu Tiannan's Guardian Sect had been obedient until now. For honest people, Jiang Chen never minded giving them some benefits, not to mention that the two sides were still allies in name.
Just as he was thinking about which meat bone to throw to Xu Tiannan and the others, he happened to see a beautiful woman in a cheongsam trembling at the entrance of the barracks, looking into the barracks.
At first glance, even Jiang Chen, who had seen a lot of beautiful women, was slightly stunned.
The slit of the hem revealed a large area of snow-white skin. Her well-shaped thighs were as white and tender as mutton fat jade. That full neckline and perky buttocks outlined an S-shaped curve. Her slender waist was like a gurgling stream, making one's imagination run wild.
Her black hair was like a waterfall, her eyebrows were like smoke, and her appearance and figure were impeccable. Even if she was placed in a pile of vases, with her qualifications, she would definitely stand out. Especially the pair of watery phoenix eyes, it was simply seductive. With the helpless expression on her face, any man would be unable to resist pressing her to the ground.
It was just that wearing a cheongsam in such a weather was really difficult for her.
When Jiang Chen saw her, she obviously also saw Jiang Chen. Perhaps she noticed the stunned look in Jiang Chen's eyes for a moment, joy flashed in her phoenix eyes, and her eyes sparkled. She cautiously walked in front of Jiang Chen with her head lowered.
"This little girl greets the Marshal." An Yiran bowed and said.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen looked at her and asked.
An Yiran's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes seemed to be dripping water. She looked up at Jiang Chen and said with tears in her eyes, "Yiran just wants to thank the General for saving my life and saving me from the devil Ding Liwei …"
In a tearful tone, she scolded how inhumane Ding Liwei was, and how helpless she was when she was forced to marry him. She had no choice but to compromise with him. Then, she looked at Jiang Chen with admiration, expressing how much she admired the great hero, and hinted that he was the person in her heart …
In the end, she hugged her arms and shivered.
If it was a normal man, he would definitely take her to his room and put on some clothes for her …
Tricks, all tricks!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but curse in his mind.
Do you think I'm a virgin who has never been in love? Hmm? I'm a man who has even been a spare tire!
"Haha, no need to thank me."
With a faint smile, Jiang Chen passed by her, leaving An Yiran, who was stunned and at a loss, standing in the cold wind and continuing to shiver.
"You rejected her? That woman seems to be Ding Liwei's second wife. I remember her name is An Yiran? "Walking behind Jiang Chen, Zhao Qiuran chattered.
"What's wrong?"
"I heard that this An Yiran is not simple. Before the war, she was a Pan-Asia Cooperation A-list singer. Not only did she sing many popular songs, but she also starred in several popular movies. Two years ago, she woke up from the freezer and was bought by Ding Liwei at the auction house. If it was a normal slave, after Ding Liwei got tired of her, she would most likely be rewarded to his subordinates. Only she did not become a prostitute, but she also got rid of her slave identity and became a lady of the upper class. She was even more favored than Ding Liwei's first wife, "Zhao Qiuran said.
"So what?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"You're not tempted?" Zhao Qiuran blinked. "Speaking of which, you actually let them go. I thought you would turn them into slaves and keep them in captivity."
"Am I such a perverted person?"
Jiang Chen glanced at her, and she quickly covered her mouth and shrank her neck.
"Ahem, it has nothing to do with being perverted. Aren't all the big shots like this?" Seeing that her blabbermouth did not make Jiang Chen angry, Zhao Qiuran stuck out her tongue and said nonchalantly, "For example, Wan Peng, who was killed by you. There used to be a powerful mercenary group on Pingan Street, and the leader of that mercenary group was also one of the members of the council. Later, because he offended him, not only was he thrown to the zombies, but his wives and daughters were also put on dog leashes and kept in the basement. I heard that there was no more movement after half a year. "
"So, I got rid of the evil for the people," Jiang Chen mocked.
"Get rid of the evil for the people?" Zhao Qiuran curled her lips. "That's enough. The mercenary group leader who was killed by him was not a good person. He was also a bully on normal days. Or rather, there is no good bird in the entire Survivors Alliance. "
To be precise, there was no good bird in the entire wasteland.
This was the era of man-eat-man.
"Now that Pingan Street belongs to me, no one will put you on the wanted list. Do you still plan to go to Wanghai?" Jiang Chen changed the topic and asked casually.
Zhao Qiuran hesitated, but still nodded firmly.
"I've stayed here long enough. Wanghai has been boasted to be a utopia by those businessmen. I want to go there and see."
Afraid that Jiang Chen would not agree, she quickly said.
"I can fight very well, and I can work for you —"
Jiang Chen smiled playfully.
"Work for me? It's not enough to fight. "
Zhao Qiuran's face turned red, and she took two steps back. Her hands retracted to her chest, and there was a hint of fear in her wild eyes. "You, what else do you want?"
"Anyway, it's different from what you think now." Jiang Chen shrugged.
A psychic ability user was a rare experimental material. The cell bank of the Garden of Eden was not found. If Lin Lin knew that he let such a rare "lab rat" escape, she would definitely be so angry that she would punch him in the chest with her little fist.
Thinking about it, even An Yiran, that kind of femme fatale, had been rejected.
Zhao Qiuran scratched her cheek awkwardly and continued to follow Jiang Chen. She didn't know that although she was not treated as a woman, she had already been labeled as a lab rat.
Jiang Chen stopped in front of the barracks and looked at her.
"Speaking of which, your ability is psychic sensing, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Qiuran nodded.
"In addition to sensing the location of the spiritual body, is there any other use for your ability?"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Qiuran asked, puzzled.
"For example," Jiang Chen paused, then smiled. "Identify whether a person or a group of people is lying."
