Chapter 20: The Beauty's Debate

  Han Qin looked up at Song Jiare and smiled gratefully, saying: "Thank you, Director Song, for your support." Fenghuang Township has only so many party representatives. If Han Qin gets one more vote here, Zhang Tiancheng will lose one vote there. And with the support of Song Jiare, he can also influence the people around her, creating a ripple effect.

  After listening to Han Qin's words of gratitude, Song Jiare seemed unimpressed and smiled faintly, saying: "Secretary Han, how do you address each other in the municipal government? I feel like your 'Commissioner Song' has a retro flavor, as if only during the Jinggang Mountains period did our leaders use this title."

  This girl is indeed the champion of the provincial college debate competition, and she's really impressive. With a mischievous grin, Han Qin said, "So what should we call you?"

  Song Jiawei pursed her lips, and her beautiful big eyes swept over Han Qin, saying: "Either call me by my name directly, or call me Sister Song... I looked at your resume, you're one year younger than me." Wang Li watched Song Jiawei and Han Qin bickering, sneaking a peek at Zhang Bin, the two of them exchanged a smile.

  I've become an older sister controller, how come all the girls who have contact with me are older than me? Song Wenfei is one year older than Han Qin, when they were together, Song Wenfei made Han Qin call her "sister". Yan Min doesn't need to be said, she's five years older than Han Qin, a standard holy girl. Only Li Xiaolu is younger, and she's also a loli.

  Han Qin smiled and said: "I think it's better to call each other by name, it sounds more natural. At home, girls are called sisters, and the older ones are quick to do so too. And you shouldn't call me Secretary Han either, that sounds very distant."

  Zhang Bin saw that the two were not arguing, and smiled: "Brother, where are you planning to go tomorrow for your first stop?" Han Qin thought for a moment and said: "A few days ago when I came to Xiping, I met a branch secretary of Wangtun in Fenghuang Township on the bus. His name is Wang Xuejun, and he's also a party representative. We had a good conversation. I looked at the list and saw that Wang Xuejun isn't part of Zhang Tiancheng's camp. I think I'll go to him first, he should be able to support me. My campaign plan is to build Fenghuang Township into an efficient agricultural base, getting the support of the village representatives is key."

  Look at Song Jiare, Han Qin smiled and said: "Jiare is doing propaganda, visiting party representatives is to propagate one's own ideas, let them agree with you, give them some guidance"

  Song Jiarui thought for a moment and said: "Han... Han Qin, how confident are you about winning this election?"

  How many are sure to win? Since entering the final, of course, I hope to be able to defeat Zhang Tiancheng. Most representatives from Fenghuang Township will support him. Who doesn't want to build their hometown well? Through analyzing the list provided by Zhang Bin, Han Qin also figured out that only twenty or so people truly support Zhang Tiancheng, and there are forty or so people who can be won over.

  Han Qin smiled and said: "I think there should be some confidence"

  Hearing Han Qin say that, Song Jiaye shook her head and smiled: "Your confidence is too low. If I knew you only had a 10% chance of success, I wouldn't support you. Go directly to Zhang Bin's blacklist. You should be full of confidence now, with a 100% chance of winning."

  Han Qin burst out laughing and said, "Jia Lei, the ancients said that a proud army will surely be defeated. I don't dare to be arrogant! If we're so capable, wouldn't you guys feel uncomfortable too? You have such great confidence, what do you need us for? Now I feel like having some confidence is enough, it's also the result of our joint efforts. As an outsider, I don't have any foundation among the masses. No matter how well I speak, it's just a hypothetical idea after all. The party representatives may not necessarily agree with me."

  Zhang Bin nodded, seemingly thoughtful, and said: "Han Qin is right. No matter how beautiful the idea is, it's still empty talk. Every government that has taken office in Fenghuang Township has had grand plans, but how many have actually been implemented? The wolf has come, and we can only be effective once. The common people are used to officials boasting, and it's not easy to make them truly believe us. But I'm confident that if we put in a bit more effort, we will definitely succeed."

  Upon hearing Zhang Bin's words, Song Jiaye smiled slightly and said: "As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Let's analyze the actual strength of Han Qin and Zhang Tiancheng. When Wang Li told me about this matter, why did I support Han Qin without hesitation? I was really moved by Han Qin's idea.

  Develop efficient agriculture, build a green vegetable base. This is truly starting from the actual situation of Fenghuang Township and truly considering the people, especially Han Qin's proposal to let farmers make money at home and build a harmonious countryside. This one is very touching. You can ask our farmer brothers, who are willing to leave their homes and go out to work, why they have to go out because they can't make money at home.

  Young people have left, what kind of life is it to work outside all day? Is living with dignity possible? Left-behind children, left-behind women, and empty-nest elderly, how much pain do they have in their hearts, only they know. Not to mention other problems, the education of children is a huge issue, without parents by their side, the quality is hard to guarantee. But staying at home also means no money, and even if the child gets into school, they can't afford it, this is the contradiction, a very serious social problem with severe consequences.

  Party representatives are all human beings, and human hearts are made of flesh. If they truly care about the people, they will touch their souls and gain their support.

  Let's talk about Zhang Tiancheng again, liberating thinking, attracting investment and building an industrial strong town. This is purely scratching the itching part of the empty cannon representatives, although their level of sophistication is very low, in a remote town like Fenghuang Township, what can be done and what cannot be done can still be seen.

  Song Jiarui's words were a bit agitated, and Juanxiu's pretty face turned crimson. Her full chest rose and fell with her rapid breathing, making it seem like the waves were surging. Han Qin nodded slightly, and several highlights of his own governance plan had been pointed out by this young woman. This selected student from the provincial party committee organization department was not only skilled in rhetoric but also had a solid theoretical foundation. At this level, she would be more than qualified to serve as the propaganda commissioner of a township, let alone the head of the county party committee's propaganda department.

  After Song Jiarui's comparison, Wang Li and Zhang Bin also became more confident in supporting Han Qin. This move was the right one, as long as Han Qin could rise to power, their own future would be very bright. What merits could they not obtain from the new emperor? They were the founding fathers of the country.

  Wang Li lightly applauded, giving Song Jiawei a round of applause. Song Jiawei saw Han Qin staring at her, and this very carefree girl felt her heart beating faster again, with an inexplicable sense of panic. In the provincial college debate competition, facing thousands of spectators in the audience, Song Jiawei was spirited and confident, winning the title of "Beauty Killer". Even in such a situation, Song Jiawei had never felt panicked before. What's wrong? Girls are just girls.

  After calming down her emotions, Song Jiare said in a soft voice: "Han Qin said he is an outsider and has no mass base. I think this is actually a favorable condition. Without any connections in Fenghuang Township, there will be no negative impact on Zhang Tiancheng. Indeed, Zhang Tiancheng has been operating in Fenghuang Township for many years, and his father-in-law has laid a good foundation for him. But after all, Fenghuang Township is not Zhang Tiancheng's exclusive domain. Many of his trusted subordinates are also superficially harmonious but inwardly estranged. Once the environment changes, they will still betray him."

  Song Jialai glanced at Han Qin, smiled and said: "Zhang Tiancheng's wife is the women's director of Fenghuang Township, a flying female yaksha. With such a virtuous helper, Zhang Tiancheng will lose many votes in the female representative sector. I believe Han Qin will win a big victory."

  When Song Jiawei said this, Wang Li couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This girl really has a beautiful face and a sharp tongue, saying whatever she wants. Are all the female representatives from Fenghuang Village airheads? Seeing this handsome guy, they all surrender and give their votes to Han Qin? I think the first one to surrender is you, Song Jiawei.

  Han Qin could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He was well aware that female representatives like Song Jiare in the towns were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and the vast majority were old ladies like her grandmother. In Song Jiare's words, she had become an idol for older women.

  No matter what, Song Jiawei's words were reasonable and inspiring. Han Qin smiled and said: "Thank you for Jiawei's wonderful comments. With this encouragement, I feel that the position of Secretary of the Fenghuang Township Party Committee is already half mine."

  Han Qin glanced at his watch. The three of them had already finished work and been picked up, but they hadn't eaten dinner yet. Song Jiawei's pre-battle mobilization speech must have taken a lot of effort, and they were all hungry.

  Han Qin smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go eat. I'm not familiar with Xi Ping, Jia Lei you decide on a place, I'll treat. Today, treating you to dinner doesn't count as breaking the rules, starting tomorrow I have to follow discipline and won't bribe party representatives anymore."

  Zhang Bin hastily said: "Brother, when we arrive in Xiping, how can I let you treat me to a meal? For the next few days, I'll take care of the food. Candidates being treated to meals by others don't count as a violation, do they?"

  Song Jiale smiled and said: "Zhang Bin, don't be polite. You'd better save those two salaries for your wedding. Han Qin is a cadre from the city, their welfare is much better than ours. We should take advantage of his generosity."

  Look at Wang Li, Song Jiawei smiled and said: "Wang sister, our Xiping doesn't have any foreign big meals, not even McDonald's or KFC look down on this small place. Let's go to Dicos instead, it's also a Western-style fast food."

  "Jiā lè, since we're going to eat at a big restaurant, let's just have one meal and not worry about saving money on fast food that's not nutritious. Next time we go to Dongfang, I'll treat everyone to French cuisine. I think your Western-style roasted lamb chops are great, I didn't get enough of them last time, so how about we just go eat those?"

  Since Han Qin brought it up, Zhang Bin had nothing to say. Song Jiaye smiled and said: "Okay, looking at your generous face, I'll give you another suggestion later."

  Han Qin's heart skipped a beat, what other surprises did this little girl have in store?
