The election meeting was officially held. Some politicians were very similar to some celebrities. They obviously didn't have the so-called followers, but they still spent money to hold up a big "We support you" sign and block the streets, causing a certain amount of trouble for pedestrians and cars. It also created the effect of the whole world supporting them.
Councilman Nan was exactly like that. It did not matter if he did not have any supporters. It did not cost him much to hire a bunch of people to create such an effect. Therefore, when he went up the stairs to the Stone Sword Pavilion, he put on a humble smile like a celebrity on the red carpet, implying that the crowd did not need to be so enthusiastic about him.
"Who's that guy?"
"Councilman Nan, he's most likely to be elected as a Great Councilman. He used to be in charge of a few major cities in the east. He managed the Magic Departments well and made a lot of contributions to the city. The city he was in charge of never had any trouble," someone said.
"Oh, that's impressive. If he's in charge of the city, the city will surely prosper!"
"Isn't that right? Let's follow him and earn some money!"
"That's exactly why I came to the city!" the vendor said.
"Then come and support Councilman Nan with us. We won't go wrong if we follow his lead!"
Councilman Nan went up the stairs one step at a time. He adjusted the corner of his suit. With his sharp hearing, he could hear many people talking about him …
Actually, it wasn't that difficult to become a Councilor. All you had to do was walk around and do more activities. You had to be willing to spend money on extras. Many people who didn't know the truth might not even know who you were, but if you put on an act like this, people who liked a good show would be attracted. If you weren't careful, these people would become aware of it. You just had to give them some small benefits at the crucial moment, and they would instantly become your loyal supporters. Intelligence did not necessarily increase with age. The most interesting thing about the national law was that as long as one was an 18-year-old citizen or a magic citizen, they had the right to vote. However, when the people in power obtained the votes, wasn't it like playing the trick of tricking children with candy?
Councilman Nan was amused when he recalled the incident in Wanggui Town.
Don't forget, it was those people from Wanggui Town who personally pushed him to that position back then. They even happily took away the candy and didn't care about what would happen in the future … They really couldn't blame themselves. They didn't value the rights and interests in their hands. Like children, they only savored the temporary sweetness in their mouths. If they suffered in the future, they could only blame themselves!
Today was the last day. The military that Dan Yong had dispatched for him should have settled everything. There was nothing else that could trouble or hinder him anymore …
Councilman Nan looked up at the towering Sword Skyscraper, then back at the Elemental Capital that was going to develop rapidly despite its simple appearance. Councilman Nan couldn't help but grin. It had been more than a decade since he had last felt so relaxed and determined. Even though it was the election day, the election was actually just an award ceremony. The outcome of the election had already been decided.
"Today's weather is good. It's a good day to take office." Councilman Nan glanced at Councilman Ming Jian, who was walking up the stairs with him, and said in a mocking tone.
Councilman Ming Jian was only in his thirties. He was a Councilman with great potential who had recently received a lot of support from the people. As a hardworking politician, Ming Jian was more suitable than anyone else in the city. Even Councilman Nan believed Ming Jian would be able to turn the Elemental Capital into a real capital city. It would be located in the center of the continent and become the strongest shield in the east!
However, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. Councilman Ming Jian did not have much experience. How could an idiot like him possibly break through the network he had built over the years?
"It's the city's misfortune to be targeted by an old maggot like you!" Ming Jian harrumphed coldly and went up to Councilman Nan angrily.
"You still have a lot to learn. For example, you shouldn't show your emotions on your face. I've lost so many elections. Since when did you see me pulling a long face? Most of the time, I even applaud the winners sincerely! "Councilman Nan was overjoyed when he saw Councilman Ming Jian's furious expression.
He had lost so many elections, but it was all worth it now that he had won this one!
…
Councilman Nan went into the hall and took the elevator to the floor where the election was taking place.
The floor of the conference hall was extremely spacious. All the windows were made of delicate tempered glass. Through the clean and comfortable outer wall, one could see the entire city from three hundred and sixty degrees.
"Leader Xie, you haven't changed at all … oh, you must be Captain Lu. We've had a good chat last time. Your Brown Rock Mages are the group of Mages I'm most impressed by," Councilman Nan greeted the others with a smile as soon as he took his seat. However, Leader Xie seemed to be dissatisfied with Councilman Nan. He did not pay any attention to Councilman Nan.
Ming Jian sat on the side with a long face. He was too lazy to make small talk with the others. That Councilman Nan was seriously disgusting. It felt like he was about to give his victory speech right away.
"Oh, young man, you don't have to give me the fruits. Give them to Leader Xie Qinghua. Leader Xie is the main reason why the city is here today," Councilman Nan said with a smile when he saw a young waiter in a simple outfit.
As a Councilman, he could not order anyone around, not even the waiter. The waiter would feel flattered and even be grateful to him. It was so easy to win over the waiter with a simple smile.
"Idiot, I'm eating it myself. Who said I'm giving it to you?" The young man sat down a level higher than Councilman Nan's seat. He placed the buffet tray in front of him and started eating without caring about his image.
Councilman Nan was dumbfounded.
Where did this young man come from? Was he trying to ruin his future?
"Little Brother, this seat is reserved for the Councilman. Even if you are dissatisfied with something, there's no need for you to do something so impolite," Councilman Nan said to the young man in a gentle voice. He was already used to being a nice person.
"Am I not going to sit here?" The young man looked up and glanced at Leader Xie Qinghua in confusion.
"Mofan, you're not going to sit there," Leader Xie Qinghua smiled. "Come over here, the seat is yours."
