Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 126 Jimmy becomes a member of parliament!

Chen Song was so excited that he forgot to speak, picked up the letter and ran away.

I walked all the way to an old sycamore tree in the school, my hands trembling.

I opened the letter with great anticipation, but the anticipation and excitement in my heart fell from heaven to the bottom after seeing the ranking of the election results, and my eyes suddenly shrank twice.

No! How could this happen!
The first place was not him, but that guy named Li Jiayuan. How could this happen?

He clearly had people spread the word that this guy was a member of a *gang, so why, why did these people still vote for him? Are they crazy?

After seeing the number of votes, Chen Song was shocked.

"More than 44 votes."

There must be something wrong. How could there be such a high number of votes? What is the total population of Yau Ma Tei? Excluding those voters who are under the age of 18 and those who are not eligible to vote.

With more than 40,000 votes, at least half of the people in Yau Ma Tei voted. How is it possible? Li Jiayuan is not a star or a public figure. He is just a company owner. How can so many people support him?

Chen Song had no time to think about it and feel lost. He comforted himself that there was still a chance, but when he continued to look down.

He was devastated. His name was unexpectedly at the bottom. That's right, there were only five people running for the election, and he was the fifth one, with a total of 600 votes.

Even Yellowstone got more votes than him.

"No!"

Chen Song roared to the sky and punched the paulownia tree.

The students passing by were frightened by the shout.

"Principal Chen, what's wrong with you?"

"This question is too difficult. I can't do it. I can't do it!"

Chen Song didn't know that if he didn't play any ulterior motives, he would have a good chance of being elected as a member of parliament. His mistake was that he shouldn't have found someone to discredit Li Jiayuan.

When the residents of Yau Ma Tei learned about this, they were outraged and spread the word that anyone who voted for Chen Song would be a traitor to Yau Ma Tei.

Not only that, a group of young people spontaneously organized themselves to call the Ministry of Education to complain. Because there were too many complaints, the higher-ups have decided to investigate Chen Song.

When something like this happens, his future basically comes to an end.

Hong Kong Island Regional Committee Office Building

Office of the Chairman

"Mr. Kang, this time the candidate list has been released. I've put it on your desk."

Kang Ming didn't even raise his head and continued to deal with the work at hand. It was too difficult, really too difficult.

The left wants people, and the right is now also competing for people. As the chairman of the committee, he has become a sandwiched bun in the middle, helping neither side.

He also knew that this election was a democratic voting method changed by those people to directly elect regional councillors in order to cope with the layout after seven years of return.

The purpose is to muddy the waters thoroughly. Only in this way can they make a fuss about it and cause trouble in the future.

But the problem now is that the left wants to squeeze its own people in when people are elected, and the right thinks the same thing. They all come to make things difficult for him. Damn it, who can he afford to offend?

Although Kang Ming has a backer, he has always remained neutral on such matters and does not want to get involved in the power struggle among these bigwigs.

But in this position, he had no control over these things, so he decided not to help anyone.

Get some people in from both sides, and then select a few to represent the people. Everyone will have a share, and it will be fair and no one will be offended.

Kang Ming put down his pen and picked up the final election list. The first thing that caught his eye was a very familiar name.

Li Jiayuan

When he looked at the number of votes, even with all his years of experience in this position, he was shocked.

More than 44 votes!
This is serious, right? How could there be so many? He looked at the district again. Yau Ma Tei, such a small place, had already turned out so many votes. If he remembered correctly, this number of votes had already surpassed any previous vote in history.

He couldn't help but sigh that several groups had made history in this first election of members of parliament!

Kang Ming suddenly had a strong premonition that this number of votes might very well be the peak of the election.

This Li Jiayuan is so popular among the people. Look at his opponent, the highest number of votes he got is only 1,000.

Kang Ming laughed out of anger. This was not even a fraction of what he had. How could he compare? He knew Li Jiayuan, a very special businessman.

The person who founded Jiayuan Real Estate is indeed very capable, but I didn't expect that he is so popular among the local people. It seems that he does not belong to any party.

If there are no problems with the qualification review, you can stay.

At this time, the assistant who had not yet left said:

"Chairman, regarding Li Jiayuan's background."

"What is the problem?"

"Some say he has close ties with gang members, and is even the powerful figure in a certain leading gang."

Kang Ming thought about it and suddenly laughed.

"What does that have to do with us? He participated in the election as a businessman. Other things can be faked, but the vote count cannot be faked. There must be a reason why he is so popular among the local people.

If there is no problem with the qualification investigation and the vote count, don’t you think it is too harsh to disqualify him from running for office just because of some groundless rumors?
The purpose of electing members of our district council is to better serve the citizens and allow more people to represent the voices of the citizens. Since Li Jiayuan is so popular among the people, it means that he must have a deep mass base in the hearts of the citizens.

"You call this kind of person a gang member? A gangster?"

The assistant probably understood what he meant and nodded and left.

Kang Ming's eyes were deep. Humph, how could he not know Li Jiayuan's identity? But does this have anything to do with him? If he wants to balance the three forces, he must choose someone who can do his job. This Li Jiayuan is a good example.

With such strong power, if anyone dares to make trouble in the future, we will just shut their mouths. With this number of votes, who can beat them?

The next day, the election for Hong Kong Island district councilors officially came to an end, and major news outlets rushed to report on the event.

After all, this is the first time that the district council election has been changed from direct election to democratic voting. The first term is of course attracting much attention.

Repulse Bay, Jiang Tiansheng's villa
He was playing in the swimming pool with his girlfriend Fang Ting. Fang Ting's proud figure swam in the water, showing off her sexiness.

Suddenly, the phone by the swimming pool rang, and Jiang Tiansheng stood up to check his phone.

"Hey, Ayao, what's up?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yao's voice was anxious and a little excited.

"Mr. Jiang, please watch the news. Jimmy Jimmy..."

Chen Yao was halfway through his speech when his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't go on. He really didn't know how to start. When he saw the news, he was numb and only now did he come to his senses.

Jiang Tiansheng frowned.

"What happened to Jimmy?"

Chen Yao calmed down and spoke in a mixed tone.

"Jimmy was elected as a member of parliament!"

"!!!"

Jiang Tiansheng's mind went blank and his smile disappeared.
