Compared to Tong Liang, Xinghe's speech style was slow but steady; it fitted her personality much more . The speeches that she gave amplified that quality of hers; people could see that she was trustworthy .
In contrast, Tong Liang's speeches were kept at an all-time high . Her speeches were incendiary and spirited . Initially the crowd was excited, but several speeches later, they also started to get tired . This was because there was a limit to people's excitement levels . If the hype kept on going endlessly, the achieved effect would often be the opposite .
Tong Liang's team quickly found this weakness and they tried instantly to fix it and had Tong Liang use more slow and steady speech as well . However, that was Xinghe's signature .
The crowd had seen it from Xinghe, so when Tong Liang tried to make use of the same tactic, they felt she was copying Xinghe . After three speeches, Tong Liang's mood was low! Advertisement
This was because her support level had visibly lowered, and she was now losing to Xinghe . For the earlier two speeches, she and Xinghe had each won one, but the difference was not big, it could be called a tie . However, this time her loss was obvious . If this was allowed to continue, she would lose big time .
However, the campaign trail tested the candidate's patience the most . Until the last minute, no one could tell who would win . There could still be twists and turns .
Furthermore, even if she lost the popular vote, she could still rely on the congressional vote . Tong Liang was confident she would win the congressional vote because many had promised her their support .
With that confidence steeling her, Tong Liang threw herself back into the race . However, no matter how many good thoughts she kept sending herself and how hard she tried, her support stayed lower than Xinghe's . The only benefit was after so many rounds, only she and Xinghe were left . She could focus on beating Xinghe . However, as the days passed by, Xinghe's votes kept increasing, and the distance between them grew gradually .
Xinghe's friends were overjoyed .
"Did you see that Tong Liang's face just now? It's darker than the dark side of the moon . Told you she is no match for our Xinghe," Ali said gloatingly .
Sam was uncharacteristically cautious . "It's not the time to celebrate yet . We mustn't slip up now after all; this has not reached the end yet . "
"I know, I was just swayed by the general mood . I'm happy seeing Xinghe gaining so many public support . "
Cairn nodded with approval . "Xinghe does have immense personal charm . "
Even if she was young and inexperienced, with her charm alone, Xinghe had garnered many supporters, and charm was part of a president's necessary qualities .
Xinghe did not purposely try to charm the public, but they were naturally attracted to her . During the campaign trail, she was calm, collected, and was not affected by the ruckus and distractions around her . This stability that shone from within had won over many people .
Tong Liang, even with her immense experience, was no match for Xinghe . Annoyed by Xinghe's serenity, she lost her footing . Even though she did not showcase it, internally she was a nervous wreck .
There was one good thing about Tianrong, which was he knew her daughter well . With just one look at her, he understood what was on her mind .
