“If you still refuse now, the only spot will be wasted. You’ll really be letting down my good intentions.”
At this point, Shan Yue could not refuse anymore. She could only accept it. “Thank you, Zhou Xuan. You’ve really helped me too much.”
Ever since she was reborn, if not for Zhou Xuan’s help, she would never have reached this step so easily.
“Why are you thanking me? Isn’t that what I’m supposed to do? I said your business is my business. No matter what happens, 1’11 always be the first to advise you.”
Zhou Xuan gently stroked Shan Yue’s hair and smiled. “But let’s not be happy too early. The competition for the governor’s position is not as simple as we think. You still have several very strong competitors.”
“Of course, we have to be wary of people like Lang Nan who act one way in front of others and another behind their backs,” Shan Yue replied. She had seen countless people’s ugly faces, so she was naturally mentally prepared.
“Due to the virus, the election for the new governor, which was originally planned for the end of next year, was brought forward to the beginning of next year.”
Zhou Xuan told Shan Yue the first-hand news he had received. “Therefore, there’s not much time left for you. We have to prepare as soon as possible. Otherwise, we definitely won’t be able to compete with those experienced people.”
“It doesn’t matter. Justice is in the hearts of people. Experience can’t play a decisive role.” Shan Yue’s eyes revealed confidence. “Everyone has their own scale in their hearts. Everyone can distinguish who can bring a better future to the Federation City. In the end, the people will definitely choose a leader who can bring happiness to most of the residents.”
“I believe you have the strength, but you shouldn’t underestimate your enemy, especially the current governor. Logically speaking, he’s ready to retire when the term changes, but 1 found his name on the list of candidates again.”
Zhou Xuan vaguely felt that something was wrong. “I think there must be a reason. Although he helped us a lot when we left the city, it was because of the money. As far as I know, he’s not much better than Lang Nan.”
“Don’t worry.” Shan Yue already had a solution in mind.
“There’s also the matter of the Yang family. Now that he’s already established himself in Federation City, it means that he’s going to start sharing this cake. We can’t let him continue developing like this.” Zhou Xuan played with Shan Yue’s smooth black hair and nagged patiently.
Shan Yue sighed. “I’m afraid I’ll have to leave this to you, but if you need any help, feel free to look for Chang Ling and the others. It’s almost December. I promised Grandpa Zhang that 1 would participate in the global competition. 1 didn’t go to the Demon Month training. It’s time for me to appear after the training.”
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhou Xuan’s eyes. After all, he had never heard Shan Yue mention this before.
“What’s this about the Demon’s Month training, global competition?”
“Back then, 1 won first place on behalf of Capital University in the Federation City High School Competition. After the competition, the referee found me and hoped that I could participate in the training. After the training, he would select someone to represent the Federation City in the competition.”
Shan Yue explained, “I tried my best at that time. The referee agreed that 1 didn’t have to participate in the training. I just had to wait for the selection after the training. It’s almost time now.”
Hearing Shan Yue’s description, Zhou Xuan immediately knew what she was talking about. After all, he was also a top student at the Capital University. It was a global competition that happened once every four years. However, there were still two years before the global competition when he graduated, so he did not choose to prepare for the competition.
“That’s a good thing.” Zhou Xuan’s eyes lit up. “The best results in the past years of the Federation City should be fourth place. We haven’t even entered the top three. As long as you can obtain a better ranking, not only will it increase your global reputation, but it will also make you a top figure in the Federation City.”
“I naturally understand all of this.” Shan Yue smiled. “It’s just that the selection isn’t that simple. It’s not just talk if you want to stand out in a place where experts gather..”
