Capítulo 1763: Chapter 1411: If We’re Doing It, Let’s Make a Spectacle! Mayor Gordon of Haru City stared at Bai Xiaosheng in front of him, his gaze surprised and complex. This young man with an Asian face holds the Golden Knight Medal, which is secretly reserved by the royal family, symbolizing that he is a “friend of the royal family”. It is precisely because of the royal family’s face that Gordon treats him with such courtesy and enthusiasm. Actually, Gordon already knows what Bai Xiaosheng is talking about. After all, he is still the mayor of Haru City and hasn’t retired, holding the highest level of power. Even with Henry and Gian both being heads of their respective departments, how could they possibly control every person within those departments? Gordon naturally has his own sources. However, regarding the matter involving Berman, Gordon genuinely doesn’t want to get involved. First of all, Gordon’s public support has already hit rock bottom; thinking about “re-election” is essentially a moot point. Unless he can achieve some astonishing feat in a short time to dramatically increase the city’s employment rate, enhance Haru City’s statewide reputation, and attract capital attention. But for such things, even if he threw his entire business into it, he probably couldn’t achieve it. Besides, he’s unwilling to bleed himself. Secondly, Berman’s election as the next mayor of Haru City is almost a certainty; Gordon doesn’t want to conflict with Berman and even hopes to maintain a long-lasting “friendly” relationship, which would be more beneficial to his business’s development. Google seaʀᴄh novel·fiɾe·net Moreover, while Berman may privately act out of personal resentment, publicly he still carries the flag of maintaining social safety, a cause the public often supports without question. If Gordon staunchly opposes it, it would undoubtedly hasten his departure. From this perspective, whether considering short-term or long-term interests or chances of success, Gordon feels he cannot get involved. Just now, Bai Xiaosheng, a man holding the Golden Knight Medal, mentioned this matter and said Berman was making trouble for his people, and Gordon’s heart skipped a beat, feeling he was standing on the brink of big trouble. Gordon was afraid Bai Xiaosheng would use the royal family’s name to force him to deal with Berman. Though the royal family is awe-inspiring, to borrow a saying from Huaxia, “the sky is high, and the emperor is far away”. Fighting Berman would ultimately hurt Gordon himself, and whether he could even win is a different matter. At that moment, Gordon’s mind was racing, desperately thinking about how to refuse tactfully without angering this young man named “Bai”. After all, he still has to consider the royal family’s face! However, to his great surprise, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t ask him to help deal with Berman but instead asked if he was willing to concede defeat to Berman and whether he wanted to continue as mayor of Haru City! Gordon stared into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, confirming the other wasn’t joking, feeling instantly uneasy. Of course, he wants to be re-elected! Of course, he doesn’t want to give up his position to that bastard Berman! If Berman counted as anything! It’s just that he has no means to do so! Could it be that this young man before him… really has a plan?! Gordon sensed Bai Xiaosheng’s supposed “advice” was meant to offer him a strategy to turn things around. He might really consider listening to it! In Gordon’s eyes, although the young man looked youthful, his actions and speech were extremely seasoned, his mind transcendent, and with the “royal friend” identity, he was able to assist him. At present, the young man’s willingness to be so “open and candid” was already a stance. Shouldn’t he also be somewhat honest? Having been moved, yet struggling to make a decision? Bai Xiaosheng, with keen insight, naturally read Gordon’s thoughts from his face, stood up with regret, and said, “It seems Mr. Gordon is not interested in this topic, so I shall take my leave.” The tactic of playing hard to get. A ploy habitually used by Huaxia strategists down to small-stall vendors, always particularly effective. Gordon hurriedly stopped him, saying, “Wait a moment, Mr. Bai! I am willing to hear your suggestions!” Bai Xiaosheng stopped, looking at him with a half-smile, “Then shall we chat?” Sitting down again, Gordon personally poured tea for Bai Xiaosheng, assuming an attentive posture. “First of all, I must emphasize.” Bai Xiaosheng looked at Gordon and said, “My friend Lai Yin and his team have developed drugs that meet regulations and safety standards. Mr. Gordon can send people to investigate Haru Medical College. It’s only because of their private disputes with the college that the college refuses to acknowledge. Legally, we stand firm! We can withstand scrutiny!” Bai Xiaosheng emphasized this first, to inform Gordon he’s not using the royal family’s reputation to distort facts, but to rectify the situation. Gordon smiled, “Just for you holding the royal family’s Golden Knight Medal, in this matter, there won’t be any ambiguity.” “Furthermore.” Gordon smiled meaningfully, “I really have investigated this matter!” Regardless of whether he can leverage this incident to overthrow Berman, Gordon must first grasp the situation’s truth and causes immediately! “That’s good, then I can continue.” Bai Xiaosheng looked deeply at Gordon, nodded. Gordon truly is an exceptionally outstanding leader, at least in terms of information handling, which Bai Xiaosheng greatly appreciates. “Next, I want to talk about my suggestion and my approach.” Bai Xiaosheng said. Mayor Gordon immediately concentrated on listening. “My suggestion is our collaboration proposal. I will help you regain public support, allowing you to continue in office, and I only ask for Lai Yin’s team to be released, to smoothly process legitimate procedures. In the future, I ask Mayor Gordon for support, ideally backing. After all, if their research is commercialized locally, it will create companies that stimulate local economic growth, benefiting the residents of Haru!” Bai Xiaosheng said.
