The Witch's Taste

"I heard from my father that the British Party had come to Zhongnan City to canvass votes before, but the campaign directors of the past generations still played in big cities. They couldn't compete with the down-to-earth Democratic First Party here, so in the end they simply completely I gave up the propaganda here. Fortunately, the population of voters in Zhongnan City only accounts for 5% of the entire Gaotianyuan, so it will not seriously affect the election trend... Wow, look at it, senior!"

Chen Ziang followed her gaze and saw a dozen or so staff members in uniform behind the slowly passing campaign pickup truck, holding a stack of colorful paper tickets in their hands, and smiling to passers-by. send it.

"Let's go and grab it!" Yuegong Lingna pulled Chen Ziang and rushed downstairs quickly.

"What is that?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"It's a store voucher!" Suzuna Tsukimiya said excitedly, "In order to buy people's hearts, the Democratic First Party sometimes sends people to follow the campaign truck and distribute various vouchers to the passing people! These vouchers are what they spend money and The ones bought in various stores can be used as cash!"

"I said, even though it's such a small advantage, there's no need to take it!" Chen Ziang wanted to complain, but Yue Gong Lingna had already pulled his right hand and squeezed into the crowd.

As Tsukimiya Suzuna said, these vouchers were all bought by the Democratic First Party with real money, so there are basically no restrictions such as "how much you can spend before you can use it" and "you can only use it from Monday to Friday". There are a lot of people, not to mention housewives and middle-aged and elderly people, and even many office workers and college students have joined the ticket grabbing team.

Such a dense crowd, with a slender and cute body like Tsukimiya Suzuna, is logically difficult to squeeze in, but she has mysterious powers, so she quickly pushes away the flow of people with imperceptible means, and rushes to one of them. In front of the campaign assistant.

"Here you are." The assistant was an uncle in his 40s and [-]s. He handed a ticket to Tsukimiya Suzuna with a smile on his face, "Please support the Democratic Party! Support Iwata Aokawa as governor!"

Yuegong Suzuna didn't talk nonsense, took the ticket and squeezed out of the crowd again, and handed it to Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang took it and saw that it was a one-day package ticket for "Heike Hot Spring Hotel". You can enjoy one day's free accommodation and hot spring services at the hotel.Note: Meals are not included.

Looking at Suzuna Tsukimiya again, the girl squeezed into the crowd again, aiming at another campaign assistant.

It is not difficult for her to do this: after all, she is too beautiful. If she aims at the same assistant to collect coupons repeatedly, she will be easily recognized by the other party.Fortunately, with such a dense crowd around, the campaign assistants had no time to pay attention to the situation of other colleagues, so they could use this method to get a coupon from each campaign assistant.

It's just... Are you really greedy for such a small gain, the eldest lady of the Yuegong family?

Suzuna Tsukimiya went in and out of the crowd repeatedly, and finally received a total of twelve coupons, including hot spring hotel, ramen, curry rice, barbecue... There are even vouchers for Kiritani Maki's concert, which can be used as tickets.

"I don't want this one." She crumpled up the concert tickets and threw them into the trash can next to her. Then she turned her attention to the other tickets, "Let me see, which one should I use first?"

"Lingnai." Chen Ziang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You should know that we promised Xia Zili to go to her concert, right?"

"Of course." Tsukimiya Suzuna said without raising her head, "If you want a ticket, just ask her for it. After all, she invited us. Unless she doesn't give it, then we won't go."

Chen Ziang thought the same.

After counting the tickets, Tsukimiya Suzuna suddenly said in disappointment:

"Hey, why are there no coupons for the cafe, I want to eat some desserts!"

"Since it's a free voucher, there's no need to care about the category." Chen Ziang complained, "If there's a store we really want to go to, we can go directly."

Little did she know that these words hit Yue Gong Suzuna's hands, she immediately showed a tricky smile and said:

"That's right, I happen to know that there is an Internet celebrity coffee shop nearby, so please go with me, senior."

Chen Ziang:? ? ?

Am I being fooled?

Yuegong Suzuna led Chen Ziang through about three or four blocks, and finally arrived at a coffee shop.

This is not a very business-like coffee shop, more precisely, it should be a dessert shop.

The decoration style is mainly pink, and the air conditioner is blowing out the air-conditioning with aromatherapy.There are a wide variety of desserts in the cabinet, including elf-style delicate cakes, and traditional Japanese fruits of various colors, such as yokan or dorayaki.

Chen Ziang had nothing to eat, so he casually ordered a cup of coffee.Tsukimiya Suzuna struggled at the counter for a long time, and finally ordered three cakes and a super large cup of fruit ice cream.

There are two intertwined straws stuck on top of the ice cream, forming the shape of a "love heart". At first glance, you can tell that it is for couples... But Tsukimiya Suzuna has already brought it over, and even if she protests, it is impossible to return it, so she seems to ignore the comparison good.

Yuegong Lingna pulled Chen Ziang and sat down by the window seat.

The table was wiped clean and there were vases with colorful bouquets in bloom.

Chen Ziang turned his head and looked around, and sure enough, all the people sitting nearby were couples in pairs.Many people used the cover of the vase on the table to pretend to lean over to eat the same cup of ice cream, but in fact they secretly kissed their lovers.

"Hey!" Yuegong Lingna knocked on the table, and said coquettishly, "If you're with me, how can you look at other people!"

Jokingly, she stretched out her hand (Chen Ziang just realized that the table was a bit narrow, and he could easily reach the opposite side with his hand), pinched Chen Ziang's face, and pulled it hard.

"I just looked around casually." Chen Ziang broke free from her grip and explained.

244. Chapter 243: When you are in charge of the palace, you must be generous

Although the coffee tasted mellow and bitter, Tsukimiya Suzuna smiled sweetly while eating the cake... It seems that the dessert should taste good.

Chen Ziang put down his glass and looked out the window with emotion.

In the past, if you went on a trip, you definitely couldn't leave your sister at home.And if you take Xiaozhu with you to travel, you have to take care of the blind people with limited mobility all the time, but it loses the meaning of having fun.

So in the past, he simply stayed at home regardless of weekends and holidays, and didn't bother to go out.

Now with the help of Uncle Weimen, the housekeeper, Xiaozhu doesn't have to worry about no one to take care of him at home, and he can finally escape temporarily.

"Senior, open your mouth, ah~" Tsukimiya Suzuna said suddenly, and handed over the spoon that scooped up the cake.

Chen Ziang was a little embarrassed, and declined in a low voice:

"This is not good, there are people around watching."

"Is there someone watching?" Tsukimiya Suzuna pretended to be surprised, covered her small mouth, and looked around, "No way, who is watching? I didn't find it."

Chen Ziang followed her gaze, only to find that the nearby tables were full of couples feeding each other, couples drinking a drink together, and couples pretending to be whispering, but actually kissing under the cover of a vase.

It's... indeed... no one seems to be watching...

Yuegong Suzuna quickly handed out the spoon, and when Chen Ziang was stunned with his mouth half open, he quickly stuffed the cake into his mouth.

After eating it in his mouth, he couldn't spit it out, so Chen Ziang had no choice but to chew, and had to admit that the taste was really good.

Very sweet, but not greasy, but a smoother taste. It seems that this online celebrity shop is not only good at marketing.

"This restaurant is delicious." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile while biting the spoon, "I checked it beforehand, and there is absolutely no mistake."

"Is there any arrangement for later?" Chen Ziang was afraid that she would continue to feed him, so he quickly found a new topic.

"It's gone." Tsukimiya Suzuna shook her head and said, "On the plane last night, I guess senior didn't sleep well either? In the afternoon we can go to the hot spring hotel to take a bath and rest, and then go eat something delicious in the evening."

"There is Xia Zili's concert tonight." Chen Ziang reminded her.

Hearing a snap, Tsukimiya Suzuna directly broke the spoon in her hand.

Chen Ziang: ……………

"Senior, you don't need to remind me." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile, "I've already arranged the time: let's go to dinner first, and then it won't be too late to go to her concert."

I'll listen to you carefully, don't vent your anger with a spoon, okay?

Chen Ziang was speechless, when a waiter happened to pass by, Yuegong Suzuna stopped her and said:

"The spoon is broken, give me a new one right away, thank you."

The waitress was also a little dazed, because the scoop used to scoop up the ice cream in the restaurant was made of metal, and it might be bent under the action of a huge external force, but it broke... What happened to the break?

She looked at the broken part of the spoon for a moment, then went to the counter in confusion, and came back with a new spoon.

"Senior, try this ice cream?" Tsukimiya Suzuna pushed the cup over.

Chen Ziang was not in a hurry to eat ice cream, he just said:

"In the afternoon, I want to go to the headquarters of the Parent-Teacher Association to see if there are any mysterious traces."

"Huh?" Suzuna Yuegong elongated her voice in dissatisfaction, "I just arrived in Zhongnan City, and I'm about to start working. Is it too hasty?"

"It's all right." Chen Ziang dug a few times with a spoon, "I'll just go and check. You can rest at the hotel."

"Hmph." Yue Gong Suzuna snatched the ice cream over, "I am senior's partner, how can I let you go on duty alone? Wouldn't that be my dereliction of duty!"

"No." Chen Ziang waved his hand and said, "Today is Saturday, so it doesn't count as working hours, and if you have to count it, you will work overtime spontaneously."

"It's the same even if you work overtime!" Suzuna Tsukimiya said eloquently, "The head of the class is working overtime, how can I rest alone as the deputy head of the class? This is the rule in the workplace!"

"It would be great if you had this kind of self-awareness towards Xia Qingyu." Chen Ziang said with a headache, "Every time you have a meeting, you have to argue with the minister. How dare you talk about workplace rules?"

Yuegong Lingna was taken aback when she heard the words, but she didn't start talking ill of Xia Qingyu like usual, but fell silent strangely.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang sensed that something was wrong with her mood.

"It's nothing." Tsukimiya Suzuna finished eating the cake on the plate, "Senior, I've actually reflected on it recently."

"It's true that I hate her very much, but some things are indeed more important than getting angry with her, so...if necessary, I am willing to cooperate with her."

"It's great for you to think so." Chen Ziang said happily, "No matter what your senses are in private, at least don't affect your work."

Tsukimiya Suzuna smiled and said nothing.

If given the chance, of course he would kill her.But if there is no chance, there is really no point in venting anger with personal attacks, and there is no benefit other than embarrassing the seniors.

Since he wanted to snatch the position of the wife of the palace this time, of course he had to develop enough tolerance, otherwise the husband would find it difficult to be angry all day long because of the Hu Meizi's affairs.

"In that case, can I work overtime with senior in the afternoon?" She asked with a smile.

"Then let's go together." Chen Ziang nodded and said.

After finishing the dessert, Tsukimiya Suzuna ordered another takeaway before leaving the coffee shop with Chen Ziang.

Sitting in the carriage of the light rail, the outside is a street with simple storefronts.Compared with Jibei City, there are relatively few motor vehicles here, but there are obviously more motorcycles and electric vehicles, and full-time wives with baskets shopping for vegetables can be seen everywhere, chatting with each other standing on the corner of the road, very small county atmosphere .

On a nearby building, a large promotional poster of the Democratic Party was pulled up, with Iwata Qingchuan’s hearty smile showing a thumbs up, but Chen Ziang felt that the style was more like an advertisement for a men’s hospital—they also liked to put the bust of the attending doctor as promotional material.

The phone rang suddenly, it was Xia Qingyu's call.

"Hello?" Chen Ziang picked it up.

"There is a temporary task from above." Xia Qingyu said calmly, "It happens to be in Zhongnan City, and I need you to do it by the way."

Chen Ziang subconsciously looked at Yuegong Lingna, but found that she had no intention of snatching the microphone and scolding the other party, but just looked at him with a smile.

"Qin Zhenglan, member of the National British Party, was exposed on the Internet by his wife Miwa Fujiwara about domestic violence against his island wife, which has aroused strong social repercussions." Xia Qingyu continued, "At present, Miwa Fujiwara should be a parent-teacher in Zhongnan City. The Federation Office sought asylum and claimed that unless Qin Zhenglan was punished, she would never let it go."

"Hmm." Chen Ziang said thoughtfully, "This thing has nothing to do with mystery, does it?"

"No." Xia Qingyu replied, "But Fujiwara Miwa currently refuses to contact the Qin family's negotiator experts, so the higher-ups hope to seek help from mysterious forces."

"Hypnosis and brainwashing, right?" Suzuna Tsukimiya laughed beside her, "I'm sorry, but we don't have that kind of obscene ability."

"It doesn't have to be successful." Xia Qingyu said coldly, "No matter what method you use, it doesn't matter even if you fail, but you absolutely can't talk to her on behalf of the government, understand?"

"Understood, understood." Yue Gong Suzuna said with a sneer, "Is it because I want to make people shut up, but I am afraid that the negotiation will fail, and the other party will turn back and expose it on the Internet, so I dare not send people to contact in person, but seek the omnipotent With the help of mysterious power, you can get rid of the blame even if the talk falls apart, right?"

"Xia Qingyu." Chen Ziang asked in a low voice, "Is this domestic violence real, or is the fact doubtful?"

"It's true." Xia Qingyu replied.

"Since that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just take legal means to sue?" Chen Ziang asked puzzledly, "Even if she was worried that Qin Zhenglan's background would not be sanctioned by the law, but the matter has become known to everyone in the society today, as long as she passes the If the law comes to prosecute Qin Zhenglan, in order to settle the matter as soon as possible, the higher-ups will give a fair and even strict sentence, right?"

"You've finally become a little smarter." Xia Qingyu's tone seemed a little surprised, "That's right, the social heat of this matter is extremely high, and the scope of public opinion is extremely wide. Even the Qin family has already done it with Qin Zhenglan in order to avoid suspicion." Secret Cut."

"As long as Miwa Fujiwara initiates legal proceedings, Qin Zhenglan will definitely be found guilty."

"But the problem is that Miwa Fujiwara didn't do this. He just kept putting pressure on the Internet, which made the top management very troubled."

"Find out her intentions, if there is any mysterious force interfering... report to me as soon as possible."

245. Chapter 244 Obsession

The Parent-Teacher Association in Zhongnan City is located in a relatively simple four-story building.

A promotional poster was pasted on the wall near the door, with the headline written on it in Lu language and Island pinyin:

"Protect your child, please get vaccinated."

The Parent-Teacher Association, as a product of the private self-government reform policy of the second-generation Governor Shi Jintang, was originally formed by selecting well-known parents and teachers from the private community, with the aim of "building a healthier parent-child relationship and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of women and children."

Obviously, the above is just a basket. It seems that anyone who works with women and children can be put in it, but in fact, they have no real power at all. They can only urge families with school-age children to get vaccinated. Nothing unsuitable for kids etc... just stuff that no one cares about anyway.

As the Fujiwara Miwa incident fermented, the Parent-Teacher Association finally hardened, and soon announced to the outside world that it would protect Fujiwara Miwa from family aggression and "fully support" her follow-up rights protection.

Considering that the consensus of the upper echelon on this matter is to "suppress the enthusiasm", the Parent-Teacher Association in Zhongnan City, as a public institution, is undoubtedly against the upper echelons by "making things bigger" ".

At the same time, because of the existence of Miwa Fujiwara as a victim, the higher-ups were unable to deal with the public institution, otherwise they would definitely be regarded as "victims of suppression" by public opinion-most people would not understand that "the public institution blatantly contradicts the superior" No matter how bad the behavior is in the system, they will only think that "those who support the victim are good people" and "those who attack good people are bad people", and they are unable to think about deeper logic.

Taking this into consideration, Chen Ziang and Yuegong Suzuna cannot reveal the identities of the agents of the Intelligence Bureau, they must sneak in secretly without being discovered.

At the gate of the building, the two saw a group of reporters guarding the gate from a long distance away, posing in the posture of "not waiting for the big news".

The old guard moved a stool and stood in front of these reporters, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it slowly, with the courage of "thousands of troops and horses, I will not let them pass".

"Senior, what do you say?" Tsukimiya Suzuna asked in a low voice.
