Chapter 1271: Image

"Maybe————just the child of her ex-husband?", William's voice was not loud, but in fact, he himself was also very suspicious.

Suspecting that the child is his own.

And, today he could see his secretary and that little boy outside the TV station. He always felt that this was not a coincidence; this might be some kind of————probing, probing his attitude.

"Then, should I check it, or not?"

"If that little boy is yours, how do you plan to handle it?"

These words gave William a headache. He smoked a stuffy cigarette and didn't know how to answer for a while.

In a sense, he was the "bad guy." Even if his little secretary had the component of seducing him, if he could control his belt head, then everything wouldn't have happened.

He could go to prostitutes. Lans has people who do this. This would make his behavior very safe, without worrying about those women talking around, because they have to consider whether they can survive after talking around.

But he still provoked his secretary, in the office, in other places.

The excitement of stealing love made him feel dry and hot. It was a chaotic time. Now he has walked out. In his heart, there is disgust for his own stupidity, and also shame for his wife and little secretary.

Lans's question pulled everything back to the shallowest surface: how to handle this matter.

Hiss————

He took a deep puff of the cigarette, "Perhaps————this is just an accident?"

"Maybe that is the child of her and her ex-husband."

"Maybe I can chat with her?"

"Perhaps things are not that bad!"

Lans considered for a while, "Everything is under control. You can do anything you want, but I must remind you that if things exceed control, we can only cut off all dangers."

What "cut off" refers to here, William roughly knows. As a candidate who wants to participate in the Manton mayoral election, and even plans to participate in the Laizhou gubernatorial election in a few years or ten years, he knows the cruelty of politics very well.

When there is something that will block his path forward, either he is finished, or that person or something is finished. There is no other choice.

"I know. After I have a decision, I will call you again."

After putting down the phone, William considered for a long time and finally decided not to disturb this pair of mother and son. When he heard that she had already divorced, he always felt————a kind of inexplicable sense of guilt belonging to a man.

In essence, William is not a bad person.

The popularity and discussion triggered by this political show program were higher than William, Lans, and anyone imagined. A more vivid politician image appeared in front of the public just like this.

The popularity of the TV program also made William stand out in front of the national audience.

The ratings were very high across the entire Federation, and some people had already come to negotiate the copyright of the program.

If the program was broadcast by a TV station in a small place, those news groups would most likely take it and use it directly, but this program is from Laizhou, and there is Lans, a relatively special existence, behind it, so people all became very reasonable.

Once the popularity is high, these people will be watched by the public and the media under a microscope.

Some people's problems were quickly found out—strictly speaking, they had no political enemies and were all figures pushed to the front by local interest groups, and their roots were all together.

Some scandals were exposed purely because the popularity was too high. Once the popularity is high, someone will be jealous.

Why do you live better than me?

Why can you stand out?

And as long as people live in this world, it is very difficult not to leave some traces they don't want to leave.

In the fourth episode of the program, foreign media found the problem with a mayor first. His elementary school classmates and middle school classmates stood up and accused this mayor of doing many bad things during elementary school and middle school.

These things were subsequently confirmed by more people, and then exposed.

The problems that occurred in the school are not a forbidden zone in the Federation now, but they are definitely not a relaxed topic.

Plus some rumors that are true and false and difficult to distinguish, this forced the mayor to take the initiative to withdraw from the program to lower his popularity.

William was also somewhat worried, worried that he would become the next one placed under a microscope.

However, the program director also told them that this is what they need to deal with. While they receive a lot of attention, support, and praise, there will also be people who hate them and want to slander them.

This also gave a reminder to those political figures who want to move from behind the scenes to the front of the stage through political entertainment: clean up the dirty things on yourself first, otherwise blindly appearing on TV will only make the problem worse!

Along with the advancement of the entire program, the candidates for the Top Ten Mayors have basically been determined, and William is among them.

"In a few days, there will be an activity. You need to show your family situation to people. You know, the audience attaches great importance to this point."

William's secretary is telling him these things. Lans decided to make politics entertaining, so he made it completely entertaining.

He let the program group arrange some family and parent-child activities, which involved some family games, and at the same time, they also needed to show their family situation to people.

Federal people are very————paranoid on some issues, which may also be related to the propaganda means of politicians and capitalists for so many years.

They believe that a politician with a stable and harmonious family relationship can manage a city, a state, and even a country well.

Showing family harmony and happiness can receive great positive feedback in this regard.

William, who was working, rubbed his temples, "Sometimes I regret agreeing to Lans to participate in such a program. I feel that I am no different from a star now. People are studying us, making me feel somewhat uncomfortable."

His secretary was very relaxed, "Boss, you have gained more than you lost. This is the reason why people clearly know that they are not that free after becoming a star, but they still want to be stars."

"You can harvest what you want!"

William curled his lips. He picked up the phone and dialed the farm's number, and then it was connected to Emily's hand.

"I watched the latest episode of the program. You performed very well, very aggressive, letting me see a different you."

"People around all say that you are full of charm, including my friends!"

"Dear, you make me unable to not clench my legs!"

The tone was full of some temptation, power is a good thing. When the power in his hands became greater and greater, family warmth, wife's charm, everything came as promised.

It couldn't be said that it wasn't good before, but it wasn't that————moisturizing. Of course, he himself was also a problem. At that time, he was also perfunctory in the friendly match between husband and wife, feeling tired every day, very tired.

But since it got better, he felt that he had regained vitality in some aspects.

Emily's way of saying this was full of obvious sexual hints, making him a little unable to bear it, because this was not a private conversation between husband and wife.

William glanced at the secretary sitting opposite the desk, he turned sideways to let the receiver completely back toward the secretary, "Holy crab, I have serious business to tell you!"

"Next week I need to record a program, needing you and Victor, and Patricia together, we need to show our faces on TV————"

"Are you serious?", Emily interrupted his words directly, "I am very willing to accept your invitation, dear, when are we going over?"

As a "noble lady," Emily has a special desire for becoming famous and standing out, and a greed and vanity for fame.

But how many women can avoid these things?

Even the First Lady cannot avoid these.

William sighed, gave her a time and place, and after explaining a few more words, he put down the phone. He still had a lot of work to do.

Although Hucheng is only a small city, it doesn't mean that there is nothing to do in this city. On the contrary, there are quite a few things here.

He glanced at the secretary, and then threw himself into his work.

Emily on the other side of the phone was very happy and wanted to pick up Victor, but after trying, she felt it was a bit heavy and gave up, "Take you out to play next week, dear, you will like it!"

Victor looked at Emily, whose emotions were obviously excited, and was a bit confused.

She then called Patricia and talked about this matter, but Patricia agreed after consideration. She had stayed on the farm for a long time, and it was time to go out and turn around.

A week passed very quickly. Before the program recording started, it was already the end of April and the beginning of May.

The program will be broadcast once every other week, actually only twice a month, so this is the third month of the program broadcast. It will be broadcast soon after recording.

Emily dressed up and brought Patricia, who was dressed relatively plainly, and brought Victor to meet William early, and then excitedly stepped into the TV station.

Sometimes she felt that she could also be a star or something.

Sitting in the recording hall, the director told them that each mayor's family has about half an hour of recording time. After recording, about ten minutes of content will be edited out, totaling 120 minutes.

So it is impossible for all the pictures to be played. They will pick some more suitable ones to play, mainly to show family harmony and happiness, and at the same time, they cannot be too far away from people.

From the beginning of recording, Emily vaguely grasped more initiative. She had a strong desire to perform and also performed very well in some family interaction links.

Even exposed some small family secrets in some "quick questions and quick answers" links.

For example, when the host asked her "what she dislikes William doing most," she said almost without thinking, "I don't like William farting when taking a bath. The mixture of water vapor and some bath products in the bathroom mixed with the smell makes me dizzy," which made the recording hall appear a short————silence.

The host stared at Emily with wide eyes, William was shocked, and Patricia had already covered her face with her hands. She felt it was too damn bad and shameful!

Until a few seconds later, the host tidied up his expression and emotions, "This is very————I mean————I don't know how to say it!"

"This of yours is too shocking to me!"

William also felt embarrassed, "You shouldn't say these."

Emily looked at him very seriously, "I'm just telling the truth. Can't you fart because you are the mayor?"

"I actually hope you really do that!"

There was some laughter from the staff at the scene, and William could only shake his head.

They subsequently also interviewed Victor. Victor was still just a little child, so his brain circuit was different from adults. The host hoped to get some interesting content from his mouth.

However, what made everyone feel disappointed and also felt interesting was that although Victor was young, he looked very sophisticated in answering the questions the host deliberately made difficult.

The host asked him "whether you will be kicked out of the room by your father after he goes back," and this question obviously carried some sexual hint joke components.

Whether the answer is yes or no, it is actually not very good.

But Victor asked back, "Shouldn't I give the time to him?"

"He rarely comes back, and I miss him very much, but I believe Mom misses him more than I do."

Such an answer made the host, including William and Emily, feel surprised————

In short, the recording was very perfect. After the recording ended, the host took the initiative to mention that he would take the edited content to them to see. Only after they confirmed it would it be broadcast in the program.

Of course, during this period of time, it is best for them to stay in Manton. In case they need to reshoot something, it is also convenient to carry out.

The editing process was much smoother than William imagined, because of Emily's excellent performance, William's more three-dimensional mayor image appeared on the screen.

Including the small paragraph where Emily complained about him farting while taking a bath was also retained, including the silence at the scene. The director believed that this would make William become closer to the public instead of being high above, and the effect of the entire program was very good.

Especially Victor, who is beautiful and very polite. At first glance, he gives people a feeling that this little guy will have a bright future, making it difficult for people to generate ill will toward him and this family.

After confirming that there was no problem, the director confirmed the broadcast content, and William's family left Manton.

On the way back, Emily was somewhat curious, "How long will this program last?"

William thought about it, "It will be almost over when this month ends. It won't last too long. Showing the family is already the last link of the entire event."

Emily didn't continue to ask anything and began to look forward to the broadcast of the program.

After seven o'clock in the evening, the little secretary came back from the outside somewhat exhausted. As soon as she entered her house, the nanny took the initiative to greet her and helped her put her handbag on the cabinet at the door.

She hired a nanny to take care of her son here during the day and leave after she got off work in the evening.

Before the nanny was ready to leave, she mentioned the arrangement for tomorrow, "I will take him out tomorrow, so you don't have to come tomorrow, come the day after tomorrow."

The nanny was stunned for a moment, but quickly smiled and agreed.

Coming one day less certainly means one day less money, but seeing that this job is not troublesome and the income is okay, she didn't care, "I know, Madam."

Subsequently, the nanny left.

Hiring a nanny is something that can't be helped. Her child still needs someone to take care of him. If it is basically impossible to take the child to the office, she can only entrust the nanny to take care of him.

Actually, there are nurseries in the Federation now, full-day nurseries.

With the progress of industrialization and the recovery of the federal economy, many women have now begun to participate in work, so their children need someone to take care of them.

Hiring a nanny alone is a bit unbearable for those families who still need women to work, so nurseries have become the best choice.

And this precisely made nurseries, in the eyes of many people, a place where poor people and lower-class families would go.

Even some slightly better private schools would mention this problem when recruiting students. They don't welcome children from nurseries, believing that these children who have stayed in nurseries will bring the poor and sour bad habits of the bottom society to the school, and they are also not easy to manage.

So the money she earned at work was actually half for the nanny, and the rest maintained the daily household expenses. Occasionally facing some extra, sudden expenses, she needed to use those reserve funds.

The little boy ran out of the room and hugged her leg, which made the expression on the little secretary's face a bit better.

She thanked the nanny for her dedication today, saw the nanny off, then locked the door tightly, walked into the living room, and collapsed on the sofa.

Today she went to ask about private schools again. Now a situation she didn't expect has happened.

There was no such problem before. Today, when she planned to go to handle the admission procedures for September, the person in charge of enrollment suddenly asked this question.

Recommendation letter.

If she has a recommendation letter, then her son can be exempted from the test and enter the school.

But if she doesn't have a recommendation letter, then her son has to pass the test to enter the school.

After all, it is Manton, and even the best batch of private schools in the entire state. They only accept elites.

Regardless of the child himself or the child's parents, at least one side must be able to get a full score.

She hugged her son, touched his hair, "I'll take you to take a test tomorrow, how about it?"

The little boy nodded and agreed with a giggle. For him, tests or something are actually no different from going out to play.

The next morning, the little secretary took her son to the first private school. From the appearance of the school, it looks more like a university than an elementary school.

However, there is no doubt that the teaching quality here, including the school environment, is the best and most top-notch!

She drove to the parking lot, then held the little boy's hand and came to the admissions office.

At this time, quite a few people were waiting here for the "test." These are all people who have some money but don't have any powerful social relations.

The little secretary found a place to sit down, hugged her son, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Elementary school student's test, should————not be too difficult, right? ===== CHAPTER 1272 =====
