Chapter 237: Face slapping in progress!
Chapter 237: Face slapping in progress!
Wang Hu said beside him:
"Director Shen, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong. I've already secured the position of team leader. I'll definitely give it to Deputy Director Zhang... No, Director Zhang will be proud."
"That's good!"
It was almost time, and all the leaders sat down on the rostrum. The members also arrived. The meeting was chaired by Wang Long, who gave an opening speech and then welcomed the leaders. Applause broke out. Although Wang Long could not read many words, he had been the branch secretary for many years and had participated in countless meetings, big and small. Presiding over a meeting was not a problem. Then Liu Ming said a few words, and the voting officially began. After all, it was just an election for the captain of a brigade. Each household had one vote. The members went up one by one to vote and put the ballot in the ballot box.
Half an hour later, the voting ended and the vote count began. The school's large blackboard was moved over. There were four candidates in total: Wang Hu, Zhong Yuemin, Wang Li, and Wang Lin. The latter two were also from the same team.
One to count the votes, one to register,
"Wang Hu, one vote. Wang Hu, one vote... Wang Li, one vote..."
In the first few minutes, most of the votes went to Wang Hu, and Zhong Yuemin didn't get a single vote. In an instant, the gap widened to over 20 votes. Wang Hu on the stage was smug. Zhang Rongping said with a smile:
"Wang Hu, it seems you have a high reputation among the people. Not bad, not bad!"
"Thank you Director Zhang for your kindness. I am the company commander of the militia and the leader of the first production team of the brigade. As a member of the branch committee, I naturally have to contribute to the construction of Wangjiagou. This is what I should do."
"Great, that's what a qualified captain looks like, Director Liu, don't you agree?"
Liu Ming's face was calm, he just said calmly:
"Wang Hu is a good comrade, but we can't ignore others. As the breadwinners of the people, we need to identify and judge people, contribute to development, and ensure that the people truly live a good life. To do so, we need to recruit talented individuals and inject fresh blood into the brigade, right, Director Zhang?"
Zhang Rongping forced a smile on his face and nodded as a response. Then he turned his head away and snorted in his heart, "Pretending. When the results come out, I wonder if you can still sit still?"
In fact, the result has no impact on the positions of the two people. However, in the invisible and intangible war without smoke, it is of great significance. The election of the captain of Wangjiagou was proposed by Liu Ming. It is no secret that Liu Ming and the Wang family are not on good terms. The captain position certainly does not want someone from the Wang family to win, and Zhang Rongping has a special relationship with the Wang family.
So, if Wang Hu wins, it will be a slap in the face of you, Liu Ming. Don't underestimate it. But from another perspective, you, Liu Ming, as a leader, cannot implement your own intentions. This is also very fatal. The leaders above will think that you are not capable enough and cannot control the situation. The people below will also look down on you and your prestige will be damaged.
This is not alarmist. A thousand-mile dam is destroyed by an ant hole. Many major accidents are often caused by some neglected details.
The same is true for people!
Zhang Rongping can't wait for Wang Hu to win, just to see your defeated and depressed face, Liu Ming.
"Zhong Yuemin one vote, Zhong Yuemin another vote..."
It wasn't until the teller's voices calling out Zhong Yuemin's votes brought him back to reality that he looked at the blackboard and saw that Zhong Yuemin had actually received over a hundred votes. Although he still had a gap of over twenty votes to Wang Hu's 152 votes, his momentum was very strong. As for the dozens of votes of the other two, they could be ignored.
He became a little nervous and said to Shen Tao beside him:
"What's going on? Didn't you say it was foolproof?"
Shen Tan complained, thinking, "If you ask me, who should I ask?" He could only reply,
"Director Zhang, Wang Long promised me that there is absolutely no problem. Let's take another look, and then take another look."
"One vote for Wang Hu!"
"One vote for Zhong Yuemin, one vote for Zhong Yuemin!"
"One vote for Wang Hu!"
The votes for both of them were increasing rapidly, but Zhong Yuemin had more votes. Now the difference between the two was less than nine votes. Wang Long and Wang Hu on the stage were sweating on their foreheads. They never thought that the votes for the two would be so close. They were cursing in their hearts. Zhong Yuemin's current votes were not enough even if all four teams voted for him. It was obvious that there were "traitors" in teams one and two. You bastards, just wait until I become the team leader, and then I will settle accounts with you one by one.
"One vote for Zhong Yuemin, one more vote for Zhong Yuemin..."
Below the stage, Zheng Tong, Qin Ling, and others were equally nervous, their eyes fixed on the number of votes on the blackboard in front of them. Li Yan gritted her teeth, her delicate body trembling.
"Relax, don't tense up!"
"I don't have your good attitude. I'm almost catching up. Come on, come on!"
"Can you please let go of your hands while you're pumping gas?"
"I'm nervous!"
"If you're nervous, just grab your own thigh. Why are you grabbing my thigh?" She was almost bruised from being pinched.
Li Yanbai gave him a look and said, "I don't like it when others ask me to pinch you, but you must be ungrateful. Humph...Push harder, harder, harder, ah, Yuemin, you've surpassed that bastard Wang Hu..."
The hand that grabbed his thigh got even stronger, right at the base of his thigh. He almost came with such a soul-stirring "Ah"!
"One vote for Zhong Yuemin, one more vote for Zhong Yuemin..."
When the final result came out, Zhong Yuemin surpassed Wang Hu by more than 50 votes and was undisputedly elected as the captain of Wangjiagou Brigade. Wang Long, Wang Hu, Wang Bao, Zhang Rongping and Shen Tao were all stunned. They were supposed to slap someone in the face, but how come they got to slap him?
There seemed to be a series of "pa pa pa..." sounds of faces slapping in the air around, and the cheeks were red and swollen.
Liu Ming smiled and said, "Director Wang, the results are out. Please announce them in public."
Wang Long stood up mechanically, stammering twice, not knowing how to start. "I, I declare..."
"Fake, fake, all fake!"
Wang Hu suddenly got angry and jumped up towards the direction where Zhong Yuemin was sitting.
"Zhong Yuemin, you are engaging in vote-buying. You are deliberately manipulating the votes of the members. This election cannot be counted. I demand a re-vote. A re-vote."
"Fuck you, Wang Hu, who do you think you are? Be a man and don't be so embarrassed by your loss."
"That's right. This is the choice of all the members of Wangjiagou. Zhong Yuemin is the team leader that everyone wants."
Zheng Tong and others immediately stood up to refute.
"Director Zhang, they bribed the voters. Bribery doesn't count!"
Zhang Rongping remained calm but refused to give up. "Wang Hu, do you have any evidence that Zhong Yuemin bribed voters?"
"Yes, just a few days before the vote, Zhong Yuemin ordered those educated youth to send flour and rice to the villagers, asking them to vote for him. If this isn't vote-buying, what is it?
"Zhong Yuemin, is what Wang Hu said true?"
Zhong Yuemin stood up slowly and said calmly:
"it is true!"
