My Prime Minister is so cute

"only."

He changed the subject and sneered inwardly, "No matter how well you sing, if a contract can't be negotiated, it can't be negotiated. No one thinks that a song will make them give up their interests, right?"

Thinking of this, Gerard couldn't help but look at the representative of Southern Railway Company.

At this moment.

Gilbert, standing next to Bird, was already in tears after listening to the whole speech, his whole face was filled with immense emotion.

"It sounds so beautiful—"

Gilbert wiped the tears from his face with a handkerchief and said: "It's so beautiful. How can there be such a beautiful song? I feel like my soul has been purified."

Gerald: “???”

No, brother, what's wrong with you?

I was just listening to a song, why did you cry?

Are you such an emotional person? You weren't like this a few days ago!

Chapter 235 The first performance ended

Gerard looked at Gilbert in doubt.

He didn't understand why the representative of Enos Southern Railway Company cried like a woman when he heard a song.

Although the song was indeed very touching, and he felt a little emotional when listening to it, missing a good friend he had known in the past but hadn't seen in a long time, and planning to contact him after returning home, but that was all, not enough to make him cry like this, right? ? ?

Although I don't understand it at all.

But Gerrard was not too worried.

Just cry, maybe he just had a good friend who passed away and remembered him when he heard this song.

No matter what, there was no way they would change their minds and agree to integrate the Western Railway into the railway network. As long as this point remained unchanged, everything else would be fine.

Just as Gerrard was thinking this.

"This song was written for you." Bird looked at Gilbert, who was crying bitterly, and smiled. "If you like it, you can take a copy of the sheet music back and have the singer sing it for you."

"Thank you so much."

Gilbert's tears flowed freely, "I really don't know how to repay you and Miss Avril for writing such a beautiful song just for me..."

Bird wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and thought to himself that the effect was a little too exaggerated.

"Thanks, no thanks."

Bird waved his hand, and seeing that the situation was almost the same, he slowly said, "It's about the railway merging..."

The effect of the emotional spray is to make people more susceptible to emotional fluctuations and make irrational decisions. Combined with the district chief's performance of "See You Again" to touch the other person's psychological defenses, it is a combination punch.

Looking at Gilbert crying his heart out, his emotions must have reached their peak.

"Railway integration..."

Gilbert showed hesitation on his face, as if his rationality and emotion were fighting in his mind: "This..."

No way, this is not allowed?

“Alas, actually…”

Bird shifted slightly upon seeing this, a look of sorrow on his face. "The District Mayor's father's greatest wish before his death was to build a railway connecting the railway network... To this end, the District Mayor spent a great deal of money and effort to build the Western Line, just to fulfill his father's last wish."

"Is that so? There's actually such a hidden secret here?"

Gilbert was stunned, and the emotion in his brain instantly increased, leaving only the last bit of rationality, telling him that he had to do the job after receiving the money.

"It's okay, I know."

Bird shook his head repeatedly, with an understanding expression, saying, "I know it's not easy for you either. Southern Railway is just a small interstate company. Survival is not easy. It's understandable that you strive for profit..."

Hearing this, the last bit of rationality in Gilbert's mind disappeared.

Yes, it’s not easy for me, and it’s not easy for them either.

We spent so much money to build the railway just to fulfill my father's last wish.

Gilbert's heart softened for a moment, and under the influence of the sensibility spray, this softness quickly magnified. The sensibility in his brain took over, and he patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter. Leave it to me."

"really?"

Bird raised an eyebrow.

"Of course it's true," Gilbert said confidently. "This kind of trivial matter is just a matter of a word from me. Integrating this new railway into our company's railway network is a profitable business, so even if it doesn't cost any money, it's fine."

"That's great! The mayor will be very happy too."

Bird smiled slightly and took out a prepared document from his pocket: "Then without further ado, let's sign the contract now..."

While the effect of the sensual spray is still there, sign the contract quickly.

It’s like mobile games take advantage of the speed of mobile payments. While you’re drawing a card, they just scan the QR code and pay for 648. It’s not easy to get a refund.

If mobile payment was more troublesome in the past, with the extra time of entering the bank card number and password, people might become more rational and think that they should not spend money recklessly because of this buffer period.

That's what Bird did now. He took advantage of the fact that Gilbert, the representative of the Southern Railway Company, was in a rage and quickly signed the 648... no, the railway merger contract.

"no problem!"

Looking at the contract in front of him, Gilbert picked up the pen with great enthusiasm and signed his name on it without hesitation.

What, you want to do something for money?

I don't understand. Don't you see how pitiful they are? Can't you have a little sympathy?

After quickly signing his names on the two contracts, Gilbert put one in his arms and returned the other to Bird.

Ever since.

And just like that, the district chief’s first performance came to an end.

The performance of "See You Again" was a huge success, showcasing Avril's outstanding musical talent.

At the same time, the problem of incorporating the Western Railway into the Douglas State railway network was solved. From then on, transportation companies and passenger transport companies no longer needed to transfer. Wind-powered trains could directly pass through the railway network connecting the entire Douglas State, and then enter the Western Railway and enter the Fox District for transportation.

As for the original Eastern Line Railway.

They didn't have any emotional spray at the time, and the Southern Railway Company representatives actually took a bite and divided the profits.

Also because they need to give a share to the Innos Southern Railway Company, their costs are naturally higher than those of the Western Railway. Unless they are willing to bear the pain and significantly reduce prices, the volume of transportation will inevitably drop significantly, and the income will also drop significantly.

At this moment, Gerrard was still in the dark.

After all, in his opinion, there was no way Gilbert would agree to the railway merger.

He knew this representative named Gilbert. It was a bit of an exaggeration to say that he was cold-blooded, but he was the type who would do anything to gain benefits. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold his current position in the Enos Southern Railway Company, which controlled the railways of an entire state, at such a young age.

Although he behaved a little strangely today, he will still do his job after receiving the money.

The only possibility of not doing anything is that Bird offers a higher price, which Gerrard thinks is unlikely.

With this thought in mind, Gerard leisurely raised a glass of red wine and savored the food at the banquet.

"Although we spent a lot of money contacting the Southern Railway Company representatives in advance, it has effectively ruined the Western Railway's plan to merge with the Eastern Railway. We won't be able to compete with the Eastern Railway for at least a year."

He said proudly in his heart: "I wonder how the master will reward me when I return?"

Chapter 236 What? District Chief also knows this?

The district mayor's wonderful performance at the banquet soon spread through newspaper reports. At least in the entire Stan City, everyone was discussing Avril Lavigne's new song.

"See You Again" is a classic song. Although it was subsequently spoofed for various reasons, its quality is real. The beautiful melody, simple and easy-to-understand lyrics, and catchy rap quickly gained unanimous popularity among the people.

A reporter sighed.

"Besides being an outstanding politician with many achievements, District Mayor Avril also has such outstanding musical talent. Perhaps if she hadn't gone into politics, she could have become a famous musician, right?"

Along with the music, the newspaper also announced the successful signing of the railway merger contract.

Compared to "See You Again", this piece of news attracted less attention, but when the head of the Osman family heard the news, he was furious and scolded Gerard, who was responsible for this matter.

"You're a useless piece of shit who can't do anything good, but only makes things worse!" the patriarch cursed. "You spent so much money on nothing. What did you promise me in the first place?!"

Originally, he was quite optimistic about the young man in this family and would basically send him to solve any problem. He had already planned to train him as his heir. However, Gerard suffered two setbacks on the railway issue, and he began to consider whether his decision was correct.

As for Bird...

"Bird, do you see this?"

The district chief held up the newspaper and said excitedly, "If she hadn't gone into politics, she could have become a famous musician, right?"

Today Avril is wearing a white princess dress with her long golden hair draped behind her, giving her an inexplicable sense of holiness. If she hadn't spoken and said she was a musician, some people might have believed it. Unfortunately, she just has an extra mouth.

"Yes, got it."

Bird smiled and nodded: "This is a fair evaluation of your hard work."

After receiving the feedback, Avril lowered her head and excitedly flipped through the newspaper again. She saw a report praising herself and couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, Bird, why does this report say I'm a dancer? I don't think I can dance?"

"Shocked! Besides being a musician, the district chief also has this identity?"

This report explains that in addition to singing, piano, and composing, Avril is also an excellent dancer. I was fortunate enough to admire her graceful swan-like dance moves...

"I don't know."

Bird looked up at the ceiling. "Maybe some reporters are taking advantage of the situation and spreading rumors. You know, that's how journalists work."

"Um......."

Avril thought about it and agreed, "Bird, you're right. These unscrupulous reporters are willing to say anything to get attention."

He lowered his head and flipped through two more pages of the newspaper.

An article titled "Besides piano, what other seven instruments does the district mayor master? Let me list them for you one by one..." caught her eye.

In this report, the editor described in detail the 18 instruments that Avril mastered (although she herself didn't know she had mastered them), including cello, violin, triangle, harmonica, flute...

In addition, the piano teacher who once taught Avril personally testified that Avril only needed less than two months to master a musical instrument. She was a rare musical genius and eventually mastered 18 pieces of music in just two and a half years.

Avril: “?”

"So I'm so powerful......"

The district chief fell into deep thought, then realized something was wrong and started yelling, "No, Bird, something is really wrong, right? One or two things are fine, but why are these reporters praising some strange things for no apparent reason? I clearly don't understand anything about these things!!!"

The secretary also felt something was wrong and frowned, "Mr. Bird, could it be that someone is maliciously spreading rumors?"

"Malicious rumor-mongering?"

Bird had a pensive expression, then nodded seriously. "Indeed, while it's likely just the media's usual way of hyping things up, we can't rule out the possibility of someone behind the scenes directing this, aiming to embarrass the District Mayor in the future..."

"Then take out an instrument and ask the District Chief to play a tune. If he can't, you can be labeled a 'fraud'..."

[Comment: Who is behind this? It's so hard to guess...]

[Reward: Toilet Paper/50 Experience]

"what?"

Avril got angry when she heard this and threw the newspaper on the table: "Who is so bad that he wants to frame me with such despicable means???"

"Indeed, it's too much."

Bird said passionately, "District Chief, leave this matter to me. I will investigate it in detail!"

"Very good." Avril nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Bird."

"Yes, District Chief!" Bird smiled slightly.

After dispelling the district chief's doubts.

Bird's mind moved, and he clicked on the task panel of the resignation system.
