Chapter 893 -893: Smooth Ascension!
“Who said that? My second brother had glorious military achievements in the past. Besides being young, he was also very handsome. Once the election was successful, my second brother’s face would’ve become the facade of Taicheng, no need for celebrities to advertise. Just stepping out, my second brother was like a living billboard…” Qiao Qiao felt more and more strange as she spoke.
With the smile on Ye Shiqing’s face, she got a bit annoyed: “You sit, I’m leaving.”
What was she babbling about just now? How embarrassing!
“It seems in your eyes, only my face is worthy,” Ye Shiqing said with a deep smile.
Everyone in the Ye Family was good-looking. The most handsome was definitely Ye Qilan, followed by Ye Xiandong, and he, Ye Shiqing, was not even in the ranking.
He was pleasantly surprised that Qiao Qiao actually found his face appealing too.
Qiao Qiao, uninterested in talking further, was about to leave the bedroom when she heard Ye Shiqing say, “Xiaoqiao, if I win the election tomorrow, I don’t know how many people will be watching my every move. I don’t have my own connections now, would you stay and help me?”
Qiao Qiao was stunned, mumbling, “I don’t know how to do anything, I’ll only make things worse.”
She had been thinking that once Ye Shiqing ascended to his position, she would resign and leave the municipal building, this place of trouble.
“You’re afraid I’ll drag you down, aren’t you?” Ye Shiqing said with a wry smile.
“Of course not!” Qiao Qiao blurted out.
“So you’ve agreed to stay and help me?” Ye Shiqing asked excitedly as he looked at Qiao Qiao.
Seeing Ye Shiqing’s expression, Qiao Qiao didn’t know how to respond; finally, she compromised, “Let me think about it.”
She had just promised the old master to keep her distance from Ye Shiqing, and now she was hesitating again.
As Ye Shiqing mentioned, if he were elected, having no connections of his own, he wouldn’t even be able to vouch for a trustworthy person. Before, he had Cao Zhen’s support, but not anymore; he had to rely on himself for everything in the future.
How many people were waiting to see Ye Shiqing’s downfall, and how many would like to pull him off his horse?
Qiao Qiao was in quite a dilemma; after a long time, she still couldn’t figure out what to do.
In the end, she could only ask Su Hongxing for advice, who laughed and said, “What’s there to be conflicted about? Of course, you should stay and help the Second Young Master. He’s saved you more than once. To repay him, you must stay by his side when he needs help the most.”
“But don’t you think I’ll only make things worse?” Qiao Qiao scratched her head, still unsure of her decision.
“You’re wrong there. The Second Young Master needs someone he can trust at critical moments; currently, he has no one he can trust in the municipal building. But you’re different; whatever he entrusts to you, he can definitely trust you, and that’s where your significance lies,” Su Hongxing said with a smiling face.
If Qiao Qiao ran away, how would her relationship with Ye Shiqing develop?
“Why do I feel like your smile is particularly cunning?” Qiao Qiao said, her heart feeling uneasy as she looked at Su Hongxing’s smile.
Su Hongxing simply punched her playfully, “Just listen to me, there’s no mistake, that’s settled then.”
**
The next day’s election was not as lively as imagined.
Ye Shiqing’s biggest rival, Zhou Peng, had kept a low profile, and the expected excitement didn’t happen.
Ye Shiqing was elected without any suspense, and even the major media and online portals had prepared the news releases before the results were out.
Thus, when Ye Shiqing’s victory was announced, the press releases, including his resume, his past achievements, and his charming photos… were immediately sent out.
