Chapter 195: The Old Village Chief Who Suffered Waterloo
It was a Sunday, and more than 200 of the 300 people in Ningxia Village participated in the vote. In order to attach importance to this re-election, the town also came to a deputy mayor to supervise the re-election process, and by the way, announce the final election results. Of course, the deputy mayor who came to Ningxia Village was Liu Peng, who had a very good relationship with Zhong Shengbin.
Not only did the deputy mayor Liu Peng come, but even Li Yuan also came over to join in the fun. In fact, Li Yuan didn't want to come, after all, this is a matter of Ningxia Village, and it has nothing to do with him. However, in order to cheer for the old village chief, Li Yuan still appeared at the election site without hesitation.
Before the official vote, Liu Peng, who is now the highest-ranking person, spoke. The content is to ask everyone to vote seriously and exercise their rights well. At the same time, he will also supervise the entire election process, and strive to be fair, open, and impartial.
In fact, Liu Peng himself knows that these are just scenes. Zhong Shengbin also invited him to go out last night, and at the same time patted his chest and said that most of the villagers had been dealt with, and the village chief of Ningxia Village would be replaced tomorrow.
Of course, Liu Peng will not come out of this kind of thing. The so-called "eating people's mouths are short, and taking people's hands is short", he very much hopes that Zhong Shengbin can be elected. This can be regarded as a great joy for everyone, and Zhong Shengbin will not find trouble for himself later.
After Liu Peng's speech, it was the candidate who delivered his campaign speech. In fact, there are only two candidates for the village head of Ningxia Village this year, one is Chen Wenchuan, the old village head who has been elected for several consecutive terms, and the other is the ambitious Zhong Shengbin.
The styles of the two men's campaign speeches are also very different.
Zhong Shengbin said that after he was elected as the village head, he would wholeheartedly benefit the villagers, increase everyone's income, and make the life of Ningxia Village more prosperous.
And Chen Wenchuan's campaign speech. It's a dry sentence of "work hard for the good of the village" and it's over. Compared with Zhong Shengbin, who is like a river, it is simply a world of difference.
After the speeches of the two, Liu Peng announced the official start of voting. Each adult villager in attendance was given a ballot, which was simply checked off the back of the candidate's name.
More than 150 of the more than 200 people have the right to vote, and it doesn't take much time to vote and count the votes. The final result was quickly handed over to ♂dǐng♂diǎn♂ small ♂ theory, .⊕.√os_ (); In Liu Peng's hand, he glanced at the name on it. I smiled with satisfaction.
"Hey, everyone, be quiet, and now I'll announce the results of this re-election!" Liu Peng raised the electric horn to ask everyone to be quiet, indicating that he was going to announce the final voting results.
The open space in front of the village committee was a little noisy, but after listening to Liu Peng's words, everyone quieted down and waited for him to announce the election results.
"I announce that the result of the 2014 re-election of the village head of Ningxia Village is ......" Speaking of this, Liu Peng stretched out his voice, glanced at everyone and continued: "Zhong Shengbin was elected village head!" ”
"Boom!" This result is announced. Whispers erupted in the crowd.
Those who voted for him because Zhong Shengbin promised benefits were all happy. They only knew that Zhong Shengbin was elected, and their two hundred yuan would be settled, and they were of course very happy to get the benefits.
Zhong Shengbin's sworn friends and a few villagers who have opinions about Chen Wenchuan all showed smug expressions. The former knew that after Zhong Shengbin was elected, he would be able to reap some diǎn benefits. And the latter is so proud, purely out of the pleasure of revenge - who told you Chen Wenchuan not to introduce me to work in the farm? Now Lao Tzu won't choose you as the village chief!
The rest of the villagers all looked surprised and angry. These people are die-hard supporters of Chen Wenchuan. Zhong Shengbin didn't go to canvass for votes from these people before. So after Chen Wenchuan unexpectedly lost the election, they naturally felt very surprised. Quite a few people immediately thought of it. In recent years, it has been rare for Zhong Shengbin to become the village chief in the village, and he must have used some shady means, so he naturally became angry immediately.
Like these villagers, they were surprised by Chen Wenchuan himself. He didn't expect that Zhong Shengbin, who only returned to the village for a few months a year, and had always had a bad reputation, would be able to defeat him. Become the new village chief of Ningxia Village!
At this moment, Chen Wenchuan couldn't believe this fact, and when he saw that Zhong Shengbin had come to Liu Peng triumphantly, ready to accept the key to the village committee, which symbolized the power of the village chief, the old village chief really believed that he had indeed been defeated.
"No, I can't. There must be a ghost in this! ”
"That is, why is Zhong Shengbin the village head?"
"What's wrong with the old village chief, why do you want to remove him?!"
At this time, the villagers who supported Chen Wenchuan spoke out one after another, expressing their dissatisfaction with the result.
Zhong Shengbin, who was still smiling just now, immediately frowned, and said to Chen Wenchuan's supporters with a sneer: "What? This is the result of everyone's vote, and you still want to overthrow it? ”
Liu Peng was completely on Zhong Shengbin's side, and immediately said loudly: "What, you are questioning the voting process I supervised?" It's easy to do, everyone's votes are still here, who doesn't believe that they can recount the votes themselves! ”
The villagers who supported Chen Wenchuan were really eager to try and plan to recheck their ballots again.
And Chen Wenchuan felt that this was a matter in the village, and he didn't want Liu Peng, an "outsider", to see the joke, so he immediately stopped the villagers and said, "Zhu Wei, don't make trouble!" When the results come out, you must admit it, and you must be a man of your word and believe it! ”
The villager named Zhu Wei was not very reconciled, and said loudly to Chen Wenchuan: "But the old village chief, I don't accept it!" ”
"Since it was voted for by everyone, you have to accept it!" Chen Wenchuan waved his hand and said: "From today onwards, I am not the village head, if you are still willing to listen to me, go home now!" ”
Seeing that Chen Wenchuan had talked about this, Zhu Wei and the others were not easy to stand out, so they stomped their feet heavily and left hatefully.
Chen Wenchuan didn't leave immediately, but came to Zhong Shengbin and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Zhong, the affairs of the village will be handed over to you in the future, so worry about it." ”
Zhong Shengbin said with a smirk: "Old village chief, don't worry, I will definitely do my best for the sake of the village." You have experience in this area, please refer to me a lot in the future. ”
Chen Wenchuan shook his head with interest and said, "Since you are the village head, of course it is inconvenient for me to point fingers, and you will still be in charge of the affairs of the village in the future." ”
"Old fellow, count yourself as acquaintances!" Zhong Shengbin sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still said very politely: "Old village chief, you are too modest. ”
Chen Wenchuan just waved his hand at Zhong Shengbin, and then went home alone.
Li Yuan, who was next to him, took in this scene, and couldn't help touching his chin and muttering: "I didn't expect the village chief to be replaced, what is the origin of this Zhong Shengbin, so that the old village chief can suffer Waterloo?" (To be continued.) )
