Chapter 93 The War is Underway
An Tianxin floated to the surface with his head spinning. He shouted, "Alpaca! Alpaca!"
Captain Madara said, "What happened to him?"
"Oh, he learned that his fellow brothers were reported by the parliament and went to the police station for tea." Xiao Zhen answered. An Tianxin and the Gnus people who worked as security guards in the bar seemed to have a very deep fellow countryman friendship.
"Fuck you!" An Tianxin's head shouted, "Go to hell, Parliament!!"
Xiao Zhen said, "Don't get excited. Miss Bai Yinshuang said that the bar owner is under investigation and closed for rectification. Your brothers from the same clan just went there for a cup of tea. It's nothing serious."
An Tianxin's boss said: "But the bar is closed, and my brothers have lost their jobs!"
"Ah..., that's true."
"Do you know how hard it is to find a job these days? How hard it is to make a living?" said An Tianxin's head. "It's so hard to meet a good and reliable boss. My brothers are unfamiliar with the place here. We finally met a kind boss who hired them as security guards. But before we could live peacefully for long, the job was messed up . We didn't even get paid this month!!"
“That sounds really miserable.”
"Who will pay for food and rent? The parliament?" An Tianxin glared at Xiao Zhen: "My brothers have been badly hurt!!"
"Oh." Xiao Zhen thought about it, and then asked An Tianxin to give him the contact information of his fellow tribesmen. He could introduce these unfortunate Gnus people to Yan An's company to apply for security guards.
"If your brothers only want to be security guards, I can talk to my dad."
"Do I have to pay a fee? Do I have to work overtime? Is there overtime pay? Is it 996?"
"Five insurances and one fund, housing allowance, food allowance, car allowance, 8-hour work system, overtime pay, annual leave, and year-end bonus." Xiao Zhen said, "Don't get excited. My request is that your fellow tribesmen don't cause any trouble."
Under An Tianxin's enthusiastic gaze towards the savior, his unfortunate brothers were finally settled.
"Yan Zhen!! No matter what, Yan Zhu must win this time!" An Tianxin said, "For my innocent brothers, for our honor, for the Legion! The Legion must win!"
Although I also hope that Yan Zhu can win, I still feel a little unhappy when I think that she was just a tool who was forcibly pulled into the legion camp.
Bai Yinshuang sat in the coffee shop and looked out the window at the Experimental Primary School across the street. The students there used to be her largest customer base.
"How's your shop?" Xiaozhen asked her.
"Anyway, it won't be able to reopen in the near future. The good news is, the same goes for Bao Qingtian's store." Bai Yinshuang said gritting her teeth.
"Are you guys doing anything else recently?"
"Action? Look at this." Bai Yinshuang tapped the tablet and showed Xiaozhen the information on it. "We have listed the information of all the students in Yan Zhu's class, including the work and residential addresses of their immediate family members. Our current strategy is to start with the students first. If we can get one vote, we will get one vote."
“How exactly is it done?”
"It can be divided into two aspects. One is the classmates themselves, and the other is the parents. We put some sound waves mixed with special frequencies on various electronic media and televisions that these children are exposed to. These sound waves carry slight mental hints, which will guide them to spontaneously develop a good impression of Yan Zhu to ensure that they can cast that vote in the end. The same goes for the parents. We use the mental hints released by various media to let the parents spontaneously lobby their children to vote for Yan Zhu."
Xiao Zhen stirred the cream in his cup with a spoon. "It sounds like a wonderful method. But if you can do it, the other person can do it too."
"Of course." Bai Yinshuang sighed, "Now both of us are competing. Listen for the school bell across the street."
"Could this ringing sound also be attributed to you?"
"Now all the bells in Experimental Primary School have been occupied by the parliament. And we have taken over the school radio."
"So, it's a tie again." Xiao Zhen thought to himself. The two audios with different effects released mental cues respectively, and the final result could only cancel each other out. At present, the Eye of Supervision and the Security Committee have not taken any action. It seems that the mental impact on the local humans is not great, or it is within the tolerance of these alien supervisory agencies.
"Damn it." Bai Yinshuang looked straight ahead and cursed.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhen turned her head and looked in the direction of Bai Yinshuang's gaze. In front of the decorative painting on the corner of the coffee shop sat an extremely handsome man. The reason why Xiao Zhen could conclude that he was handsome was that almost all the women in the store were secretly looking at him, exuding a superficial consciousness of "Ah, this appearance is amazing."
"He's a handsome guy." Xiao Zhen said. He asked Bai Yinshuang, "Do you know him?"
"I've read the information. He is from the parliament." Bai Yinshuang whispered, "But the key is the lady sitting opposite him."
Xiao Zhen turned his head and took another look. He felt that the lady looked familiar. After carefully searching his information database, he remembered that the lady was Teacher Huang who had visited their home before and was Yan Zhu's homeroom teacher.
He quickly read Teacher Huang's superficial consciousness, and then said to Bai Yinshuang: "They are on a blind date. It seems that Teacher Huang is very satisfied with this blind date."
"Too cunning!" Bai Yinshuang pinched the cup in her hand, "He actually used such a dirty trick to try to control the target's class teacher."
"It's really despicable." Xiao Zhen laughed, "So how does the army plan to deal with it? Send out a more handsome man?"
Bai Yinshuang chuckled and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. I've watched a lot of local TV dramas these days, and I have some understanding of the local customs." After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the table where Teacher Huang and the handsome man were.
She came up to them, smiled and nodded to Teacher Huang, then turned to ask the man, "Why are you here? Didn't you say you were going on a business trip today?"
"..." The man frowned, "You are..."
"What's your attitude?" Bai Yinshuang raised her eyebrows. "We had agreed to go look at wedding dresses together today, but now you're going on a date with this woman!!"
The cup in Mr. Huang's hand and the coaster made a loud noise when they rubbed against each other. The customers in the store looked at them and whispered.
The man said anxiously: "Ms. Huang, please don't misunderstand! I don't know her at all!"
"How dare you pretend you don't know me??? How dare you say you don't know me?" Bai Yinshuang's eyes were filled with tears, "How dare you say you don't know me to another woman? We clearly agreed to get married this year. You even said you would buy me a ten-carat diamond ring..."
Teacher Huang picked up her bag and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I won't bother you anymore." The man tried to stop her, but Bai Yinshuang cried, "How dare you turn your face against me? I'm so miserable." She grabbed him and asked him to give an explanation. The customers whispered to each other and were amazed.
Xiaozhen put down the cup, turned and left the coffee shop.
Today, the Legion is still working hard to thwart the Parliament's conspiracy.
Boss Han was wearing a dark suit, with a rose covered with dew in his jacket pocket. As always, he looked extraordinary and had an exaggerated temperament. He spread his hands and said, "Yan Zhen, welcome, welcome."
Xiao Zhen sat down in front of Boss Han's desk without any hesitation.
The moment he sat down, two holographic screens flashed in front of Xiao Zhen's eyes. The screens showed the images of Yan Zhu and Zhu Haoting respectively. Xiao Zhen noticed that the odds under Yan Zhu's avatar were a little higher, but the difference between the two was not big.
"Yan Zhen, do you want to place a bet? This is a rare opportunity." Boss Han said with a smile, "As a good brother, you will most likely bet on your sister. Although your sister's winning rate is slightly lower than her opponent's, it also means that if the situation reverses, your profit will be considerable."
"I'm not here to place bets today."
"Oh?" Boss Han said, "You can also consider betting on your opponent, so that even if your sister loses, you can get financial compensation."
"It sounds like I'll just bet with you, right?"
Boss Han smiled and said sincerely, "I am providing you with financial advice."
Your suggestion is that I throw all my money to you.
Xiao Zhen said: "Boss Han, I'm here to discuss business with you."
"Oh?" Boss Han asked briefly with interest.
"I learned from Captain Ban that before Bao Qingtian and Bai Yinshuang opened their shop, you were the only licensed alien trader in this city, and the only Bounty Guild agent."
"Indeed."
"You are a neutral party. Over the years, you have dealt with all alien visitors who came to our planet, whether they were from the Legion or the Parliament. You have never been negligent or special to them. You have always handled them with ease."
"Thank you for the compliment. It is indeed true."
"But now." Xiao Zhen looked at him directly, "You are considering taking sides."
"oh?"
"I heard from Bai Yinshuang that they are preparing to sponsor you 100,000 credit points in order to gain your local connections to put pressure on this election." Xiao Zhen said, "I believe the parliament is the same."
"You're right." Boss Han said with a smile, "Let me be frank. The price offered by the parliament is 150,000 credit points."
"According to Miss Bai's suggestion, the Legion is considering adding another 80,000 credit points to the original 100,000 credit points."
"In fact, Miss Bao Qingtian from the parliament just called me and told me that they will raise the price to 200,000. Not only that, the Giant Spirit Chamber of Commerce is also willing to sell some of the Chamber of Commerce's exclusive products to me at a preferential price as a distributor."
"What's the feedback from the Golden Key Chamber of Commerce?"
"I believe it should be soon." Boss Han glanced at the communicator and said with a smile.
"Then I will be frank as well." Xiao Zhen said, "My request is: reject the council's overtures, and then give me the list of your council's customers."
Boss Han couldn't help laughing. He asked in surprise, "Excuse me, what has made me crazy to agree to your request?"
"Of course, you also have to reject the Legion's overtures. This way you can give an explanation to the parliament and you will still be an impartial and neutral party."
"Then, please tell me why I missed such a great opportunity to make money?"
"First, neutrality is a very important brand to you. I don't need to explain its importance. There is no need to add extra factors to this elementary school student election." Xiao Zhen leaned back in the chair. "Second, you have heard of the name Ze Jin."
“…”
"If you agree to my terms, I can introduce Zejin to you. As for whether you can reach a cooperation with Zejin, it depends on your ability."
Boss Han stopped smiling and looked at Xiao Zhen with a thoughtful expression. Xiao Zhen knew that the negotiation was successful.
Xiao Zhen turned on the computer and glanced at the list of the city council camps sent to him by Boss Han. He knew that Boss Han definitely did not give him the entire customer list, but these were enough.
He sent it to Bai Yinshuang with one click. As for what Bai Yinshuang would do with these lists, he didn't need to instruct her.
…
…
At night, Yan Zhu walked into the house and said to An Yuan and Yan An, "It's so strange. There are three transfer students in our class today."
"Transfer student?" An Yuan said, "The semester is almost halfway through, how come there are transfer students now?"
"I don't know. Three transfer students came at once."
Xiao Zhen returned to the room and Captain Madara said to him, "I have investigated. The Council suddenly placed three of their people directly into Yanzhu's class."
“…”
"This is too much!" Chicken shouted, "Originally, Yan Zhu and Zhu Haoting's forces were evenly matched, and it was unknown who would win. Now three of them come at once, that's three votes! Three votes!!"
Xiao Zhen sat back in his chair. He now wanted to shout with all his heart: Alpaca Parliament!
