My Prime Minister is so cute

Bird said this pretentiously, then stood up and said, "Watch out, Mary. Just stay with me. I'm going to report to the Lord now and help him with his anxiety."

I walked all the way to the study and saw Avril waiting inside.

As the date for the final vote draws closer, the lord becomes like a college student suffering from pre-exam anxiety syndrome. He is nervous every day and jumps at the slightest sign of trouble, like a frightened hamster.

He couldn't sleep every night and came to listen to the strange fire, which made Bird's sleep quality worse.

"Bird, can I really be elected as the district mayor?"

Avril sighed and said worriedly, "Maybe it would be nice to just be a small lord."

Mary immediately said, "Miss, you will definitely be selected!"

"Oh, Lord, if you had given up from the beginning, I would never have stopped you." Bird patted Avril's shoulder. "But now, after spending so much energy and money, wouldn't it be a waste to give in now?"

"..."

Avril nodded, but said nothing.

It seems that such comfort is not enough, she does not care much about the sunk costs.

"My Lord, touch your head again," Bird said. "That black hairpin was given to you by Prime Minister Nora. Even the Prime Minister is so optimistic about you, so why don't you have confidence?"

I touched the somewhat tacky hairpin on my head.

Avril thought of Prime Minister Nora, and her spirits lifted a lot. She became a little more optimistic: "You're right, Bird, the Prime Minister has high hopes for me. Maybe I should believe in myself."

"In addition to my subjective confidence, I also have some objective evidence."

Bird said, pulling out a report: "A piece of evidence that will bring you victory."

"What evidence?"

Avril blinked in confusion.

"An objective, fair, and absolutely unbiased investigative report," Bird explained with a smile. "Look here. According to the poll, over 80% of people support Avril Nader as the next district mayor."

Mary's expression on the side suddenly became very strange.

“Hey, so many people support me?”

Avril took the poll report in astonishment. After reading it twice with some disbelief, she realized it was exactly as Bird had predicted. She immediately cheered up. "80% support me? Doesn't that mean I've already won?"

"Yes, Lord~" Bird said with a smile, "Victory is certain."

"Then will I be able to become the district chief soon?" Avril asked again, as if she couldn't believe it.

"That's right. After the voting is completed, Forks District will soon have a new female district chief." Bird continued to confirm, and at the same time asked, "My Lord, how are you feeling now?"

"Oh oh oh!"

Avril suddenly became optimistic, and this time she was really optimistic: "I feel great, Bird, thank you."

......

"how?"

After leaving the study, Bird said to Mary, "Look, has the Lord regained his vitality now?"

Mary glanced at Avril, who was still behind her desk, gazing at the polls and fantasizing about her life as district mayor. Her expression was very complicated as she said, "I have a feeling that if you keep playing around like this, sooner or later you'll be punished by God..."

"Let's wait until that day comes."

Bird shrugged. "There's no God here."

"By the way," Mary pulled him back and said, "Can you tell me what the real poll numbers are? Can Miss really win? So I can be mentally prepared in advance."

"I know what you're worried about."

Bird said calmly, "Don't forget, I never lied to Avril - and I promised her that she would win."

Chapter 58 Let Everyone Be Happy

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle, it was time for the final stage of the district chief election: voting.

The specific rules for voting are very simple. At each polling station, such as the one in the square in front of the Fox County Government, each person receives a ballot and then ticks the name of the candidate they support, and the vote is completed.

Candidates themselves cannot vote, and Miss Avril Nader unfortunately cannot vote for herself.

But as a law-abiding local citizen, Bird naturally has the right to vote, so he went to a nearby polling station early in the morning.

After handing the marked ballot to the counting staff, Avril came over eagerly like a puppy waiting for its owner and said, "Bird Bird, did you vote for me?"

"Well, I thought about it carefully."

Bird glanced at the lord and said seriously, "I'm more in favor of Silas's political views. Perhaps voting for him would be a good choice."

Avril's cheeks puffed up in displeasure.

"But," Bird corrected himself, "I'm still voting for the Lord."

Avril immediately smiled again: "That's great, Bird."

Although he knew that he would vote for her and it was just a joke, the lord's mood seemed to be easily affected by the words of others.

Bird smiled slightly and patted Avril's head: "The voting is over, Lord, shall we go back?"

At this time, the rest of the people who had already cast their votes early stood by, speechless.

"Those who don't know might think this pervert's one vote is worth ten votes from everyone else," Sarah complained. "We all voted, okay? He's been helping out these days, don't make it all his fault!"

Sophia leaned against a tree and said lazily, "I don't care. Whether Avril wins the election for district mayor or not..."

"I can't be indifferent!"

Sarah immediately yelled, "Sophina, the guy you like is touching another girl's head! Why do you look so indifferent? It's because you're always like this that people in the association don't take you seriously!"

"...Sarah, you're so weird. You're telling me not to like Bird, but you're also telling me to pay attention to this and that. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

Sophia glanced at her and said, "And I saw him touching your head last time, when I was not in the office."

Due to the need to complete daily tasks from time to time, Bird has recently increased the frequency of caring for the leader of the Pan-Magic Party, often asking Sarah to do keyboard politics, and occasionally patting her on the head to get some small benefits. The magician lady, who is in a good mood, doesn't care too much, and is much more normal than the usual Sarah.

Sarah: “!!!”

"Well, that was the pervert who molested me!" Sarah immediately retorted blushing, "The nature of it is completely different!"

"Hey, Sarah, stop calling him a pervert." Sophia looked down at her short skirt and the beautiful calves beneath it, and said helplessly, "Actually, he's quite a gentleman. He would never do anything that would offend a woman."

He is more than a gentleman, he is too gentlemanly.

Logically speaking, Bird had such a beautiful and lovely female pen pal who had taken the initiative to express her love for him, but all they had done until now was kissing and hugging.

Even the kiss was on the cheek.

"He's only being a gentleman in front of you." Sarah recalled all the times she'd been molested: thigh groping in a carriage, chest compressions after drowning, and taking detours in dark alleys. She immediately retorted from the bottom of her heart, "He's a complete scoundrel in private! A total female scoundrel!"

"So, he was a scoundrel to you?" Seeing her like this, Sophia frowned and asked suspiciously, "Tell me in detail."

"Uh, no, no, I was just talking nonsense..."

Sarah choked and was speechless for a moment, feeling aggrieved.

But when she thought of something, the magician lady smiled again.

Soon, soon she will be able to prepare the hypnotic potion according to the recipe. Then she will definitely teach this pervert a lesson...

The two senior intellectuals were having a heated discussion.

As for Avril.

Although all the work that needed to be done had been done and nothing could be done to change it now, the lord still wanted to go to the county polling station to see if the people there supported him.

It's just like a poor student who checks his answers after an exam, the more right answers he gets, the more wrong he gets, and the more wrong he gets, the more excited he becomes.

But fortunately, this time I have the academic master Bird to guide me, so I don’t have to worry about making mistakes even if the answers are correct.

So the two of them took a carriage and wasted some time to get to the polling station in town.

The town's polling station was located in the square in front of the government building.

Compared to the parishes, where the population is relatively small and the public's willingness to vote is not strong, the county has a large population, a higher level of education, and a relatively strong desire to vote. As a result, a dense crowd has gathered in the square, and under the guidance of government staff, they line up to register and receive tickets.

This is a tedious and complex process that is expected to take considerable time.

Avril's arrival immediately made the originally quiet crowd in the queue noisy. As information was transmitted among the crowd, more and more people noticed Avril's arrival.

"Master Avril, we are all here to vote for you!"

"Avril Lavigne"

Everyone cheered Avril's arrival loudly.

The speech provided by Bird was not empty talk, but real policy.

And everyone can see the changes in the county, and everyone can see that their lives are getting better.

So these people really believe that Avril can make everyone's life better, and 80% of them really support Avril to become the next district mayor - in fact, Bird was also very surprised when he first got this data, but he immediately figured it out.

Perhaps people of this era have not received a high level of education, and may be a little ignorant, but they also have a simple nature, and they know who is good to them.

Small favors are a means of improving people's favorability, but they are also real ways of distributing eggs, milk, and daily necessities.

In order to win votes, the workers' wages this month were directly multiplied by 2, which means they were actually paying double wages.

So isn't it normal for someone who supports giving themselves things and raising their salary to become a district chief?

Is it wrong for ignorant people to rely on their instincts and choose leaders who are good to them?

The people are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are the ambitious people who take advantage of this ignorance, making empty promises, promising benefits that overdraw the future, and promising short-sighted policies that lead to a bleak future.

As for Avril.

Looking at those pairs of clear eyes, those gazes of admiration for me, and those loud cheers.

At this moment, Avril's heart was touched and she realized something, but the feeling was very subtle, difficult to describe, and it was particularly uncomfortable to keep it in her mouth.

Fortunately, she had a substitute for her.

"My Lord, look at these people," Bird said with a smile. "Being a district chief isn't just an ordinary position. It also carries a responsibility to the people of this entire region. You have an obligation to maintain their safety and create a bright future for them."

"Perhaps our methods aren't so aboveboard, our motives aren't so pure, and we're forced to abide by a set of established rules, but let's not forget what the original meaning of elections is."

"Elect virtuous and capable people, people who work for the people's well-being, and people who rule for the people."

"Do you understand, my Lord?"

"...Yes, Bird, I understand."

Avril nodded seriously, then turned to the cheering crowd, raised her right hand high, and shouted at the top of her voice: "My compatriots! I promise you, I will definitely make everyone happy!"

Chapter 59 Weakness and Ignorance Are Never Obstacles to Survival

Following the two reasons for hard work, the illusory goal of revitalizing the family and the more realistic admiration for the image of Prime Minister Nora.

Now, after seeing the people's sincere expectations and admiration for him, the Lord has vowed to make everyone happy, so she has another reason to work hard - a sense of responsibility, the heavy sense of responsibility that comes from the people's trust.

However, after a brief burst of enthusiasm, we still have to consider the actual situation.

"Bird."

Avril was worried: "Do you think I can really fulfill the wishes of these people and become a qualified district chief?"

Although he appeared quite confident, the lord still had some self-awareness.

But it’s not much.

"Of course, but before that, I want to correct you," Bird said. "My Lord, you don't need to be a qualified district mayor, you need to be a qualified prime minister."

"it's the same."

Avril said distressedly, "I think I might be a little lacking in ability."

This behavior was because the lord had truly begun to take this position seriously, unlike at the beginning when she was hyped up by Bird and became excited, expressing her desire to become prime minister. Now she was seriously considering how she could secure this position and was feeling the pressure.

I went from worrying about not being selected to worrying about whether I could do well.

A very good progress.

Bird smiled and said slowly, "Don't worry, you've been doing well so far, right? Just keep doing this."

"Am I doing well?" Avril asked doubtfully.

"Of course," Bird affirmed. "Why else would people admire you? Why would they support you? Why not support Bobby?"
