1376 Something Thousands of Kilometers Away

Huang Sibo was stunned. "No."

"The 'Successor' project should be the project that Boss Pei asked the least about. It's basically done according to the original plan. Boss Pei did not give many requests or suggestions."

Meng Chang shook his head. "Definitely. Think about it carefully!"

Meng Chang was still a little confused when he did not think about this previously.

However, he suddenly became extremely confident after thinking about this.

There were people who wrote bad reviews and attacked 'Successor' from the core of their minds. This was actually a very likely event.

Meng Chang felt that he did not think that it was because he was too lousy or that he had been overwhelmed by the victory of the Pei family's publicity method and lost his vigilance.

It was impossible for Boss Pei not to think about it.

Since Boss Pei had thought of it, he definitely had a backup plan and a hint.

Huang Sibo might have said no because his senses were not sharp enough. He did not expect Boss Pei's ordinary words to contain hints of breaking out of the situation.

"This… please hold on, I'll think about it."

Huang Sibo could only try his best to plunder his memories seeing how confident and determined Meng Chang was. He dug out everything that happened when he went to report to Boss Pei.

After a long time, Huang Sibo said uncertainly, "The only thing that Boss Pei changed about the 'Successor' project should be the broadcast time…"

"I originally booked one episode a week, but Boss Pei said that the timing was not suitable and wanted to change it to two episodes a week. It will be done on January 12th."

"This is actually a little strange because it would be more conducive to accumulating popularity if we extend the time. Every episode of 'Successor' is nearly an hour long. The content is rich enough. It would not be a problem to use it for the audience to discuss for a week."

"However, Boss Pei still requested for it to be changed to two episodes a week."

"I asked Boss Pei if something would happen on January 12th. Why else would he be in such a hurry?"

"Boss Pei said it very vaguely at that time. He said that it might be useful or it might not be useful. He did not have to have much expectations. However, it doesn't matter if we try our luck…"

"This is the only special requirement."

Meng Chang frowned slightly. "January 12th?"

"Is this a special day?"

"What's more, Pei Qian's overall style is very strange. It's too ambiguous."

"Logically speaking, with Boss Pei's vision, he should be able to accurately understand the results of ordinary things. Something as uncertain as Boss Pei is definitely not a small matter."

After some analysis, Meng Chang felt that Huang Sibo might have been the backup plan of Boss Pei.

Thus, he immediately opened Qiandu search engine and began to find out what would happen around January 12th.

It seemed like… this was just an ordinary weekend. It was not even a good day.

Meng Chang refused to give up. He began to expand the search area again, extending the date to January 8th to January 15th. The content of the search was no longer limited to China. Instead, it expanded to the world and even searched some foreign websites.

Half an hour later, Meng Chang scanned an inconspicuous foreign information as he quickly flipped through the webpage.

"A certain country's election in the west? The second round of voting results would be announced on January 13th. That basically means the end of the election."

Meng Chang's first reaction was that he did not pay much attention to it. That was because even though this country called Yuklaia was not a small country in Oudong, its presence in the country had always been relatively weak.

There were so many countries and regions in the world after all. It was normal for people not to know the names of countries when they were watching the domestic football competition.

However, Meng Chang felt that something was amiss after scrolling through the news. He quickly flipped back.

Perhaps the word 'election' had touched his nerves, causing him to subconsciously think about the Superhero election in 'Successor'.

Meng Chang originally had no idea about Yukara's election, so he began to dig up more information from foreign websites to supplement the relevant knowledge.

The more he made up for it, the more he felt it was magical!

Yuklaia held an election once every four years. This year was the perfect time for the previous President to seek reelection.

This President might not have any particularly outstanding political achievements, but he had not made any major mistakes in the previous four years. Logically speaking, it should not be a problem for him to be re-elected normally. After all, he was very experienced and had good political results. No one else among the other candidates should be able to pose a direct threat to him.

The situation was gradually becoming clearer. The first round of voting would be held this weekend. If everyone's votes did not exceed 50%, the second round of voting would be held on the third Sunday. The third Sunday happened to be January 13th.

"Could it be related to this?"

"However, it feels like it's very difficult to be related to 'Successor'. Even if it could be related, how many people would recognize it? It would not be easy to spread the news without any explosive news."

This country called Yuklaia was not very famous in the country. It was too lazy to even touch public knowledge, let alone the legend of an oil paper package.

Take this election for example. Meng Chang had found some relevant information on the internet. Not many people in the country paid attention to him. How could he use it?

However, the timing was very suitable.

Meng Chang refused to give up and began to check on these participants.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

That was because there was a brother here who was obviously different from the others!

This brother was quite handsome. He could even be said to be upright. He was born in a rich family. He studied law in a famous foreign school. After graduating, he entered the entertainment media industry and became a famous actor and program host of Yuklaia.

Three years ago, he starred in a movie and played the role of an ordinary history teacher. He became popular online because he attacked the authorities and was accidentally selected as the President of Yuklaia. Thus, he formed a grassroots team and finally defeated the corrupt prime minister, who represented the oligopoly interest group, with this' random army'.

This movie had caused a huge reaction in Ukiah. He had also become a national comedian with this movie and was deeply loved by the people.

Of course, even though he performed well in terms of polling, the mainstream media on the internet did not think that he would be selected at all. They felt that the current polling was not accurate. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction with a joking attitude when they were interviewed. There was no doubt that the final election result would be the successful reelection of the current President.

"Could Boss Pei be referring to this?"

"Hmm… that does make sense."

"Boss Pei only said that he could not be sure about something of this level and gave such a vague explanation."

"However, if Boss Pei can't be sure, the risk of this matter is too high, right?"

Meng Chang fell into deep thought again.

Huang Sibo watched Meng Chang search online the entire time. He even searched some English information pages. He felt that it was a little impressive.

"It shouldn't be that difficult to find, right? Since Boss Pei chose something as a support publicity method for 'Successor', it must mean that it must be a hot topic that would cause widespread discussion. If it's too unpopular, it would not be able to cause a heated discussion. It would be useless no matter how good the timing is."

Meng Chang shook his head. "What if it's not popular now but it will suddenly become very popular in the future?"

"I've found the important event that Boss Pei mentioned. That's it."

"Yuklaia's election."

"Look at this candidate named Dawa Xili. He's handsome and born in a rich family. He's a law major and is in the media field. He's a famous actor and host. He's known by everyone through a movie. Now, he's participating in the election and even obtained the support of many people…"

"Isn't it very similar to Phil? It can even be said to be carved from the same mold."

"His name is also very interesting. It's very similar to the word 'comrade'. It just so happens that he also views himself as a 'public slave'."

"The most important thing is that he was able to participate. On one hand, it was because he obtained a lot of fame through television programs. On the other hand, it was because he made a movie and played a good President who turned the situation around in the movie."

"Isn't this more bizarre than the story of 'Successor'? Phil at least paved the way for three or four steps. He first started a talent show as a judge, then commented on the hot topics of superheroes, and finally reluctantly became a superhero. All in all, he spent several years climbing up step by step. He also had to get rid of his competitors through various schemes. He went through so much trouble and almost bankrupted the entire family."

"In the end, Dawa Xili is much simpler. They participated in the election after filming the movie. There was not much preparation at all."

"It has been proven that novels need logic, but reality doesn't need it at all."

"Think about it. If this person were to really be selected a month later… what would happen?"

Huang Sibo's eyes widened. "This… isn't this too coincidental?"

"Could it be that Cui Geng used him to make Phil's prototype when he wrote this book?"

Meng Chang shook his head. "I think not."

"That's because he was just an actor before the election. He only announced that he was participating before the election this year. Cui Geng wrote 'Successor' much earlier."

"The Dawa Xili is very famous in Yuklaia, but no one in our country has heard of it. Cui Geng probably has not heard of it either. What's more, even if he has, it's impossible for him to predict the future and guess that he's participating in the election."

"This might be a pure coincidence. However, Boss Pei noticed it before us."

"Boss Pei obviously thinks that this Waxilli is very likely to win the election. That's why he requested for 'Successor' to be broadcasted before the results of the election are out."

"That's because once the election ends, all sorts of media would definitely report this matter everywhere. A comedian without any experience was successfully selected. This can be said to be a huge piece of news around the world."

"On the other hand, 'Successor' has to be broadcasted before that to create the illusion that the 'reputation has been settled'. That would be the perfect twist after this incident!"

Huang Sibo: "But according to the current reports, his chances of winning are not high, right?"

Meng Chang nodded. "That's right. That's why Boss Pei said that he's not completely sure about this. After all, he should have known about this earlier. At that time, Great Waxi just announced that it was going to run."

"However… Even if the success rate is very low, I still believe in Boss Pei's judgment!"
