Zhang Jiao automatically filtered the ridicule in Bai Mingya's tone, and said with a smile: "I am a person without party affiliation, so I have this convenience."

But today everyone is so enthusiastic, we all know what it is for.

Councilor Bai, don't you want to be the deputy speaker, I feel that you are more suitable for the rostrum than the position near the door. ”

Bai Mingya raised her eyebrows, her face became gloomy, and she lowered her voice and said, "Can anyone who wants to be the deputy speaker of the council?"

Although it is only an honorary status, the two senior seniors of our 'sand diggers' in the Kashgar City Council still showed considerable interest.

It's still early for my turn. ”

"The Conservative Party is not good at this, it is too senior. Zhang Jiao showed a look of righteous indignation when he heard this, and said unjustly for Bai Mingya: "Should young people be given more opportunities?" ”

Bai Mingya seemed to be really interested in this 'deputy speaker' position, and blurted out depressedly when she heard this: "This has nothing to do with the Conservative Party or not, the Grand Ducal Party is the same as two senior parliamentarians competing."

I thought I couldn't abstain from voting in the election, so I couldn't help it, hmph, I didn't..."

Speaking of this, she seemed to wake up for a moment, did not continue, and changed her words: "In short, the strong contenders for the co-election of the vice speaker this time are all those senior councillors who have been elected for 3 or 4 elections, and the new councillors elected for 1 have no chance. ”

"yes, then I'm really thinking about who to vote for. Zhang Jiao shrugged and said.

"You are a non-partisan person, as long as you are not yourself, it doesn't matter who you vote for. Bai Mingya said indifferently: "I should really think about it." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao said in a stiff tone: "Why can't I choose myself."

I am also a member of the Kashgar City Council, and even if I don't hope to be elected, I am eligible to run. ”

"Not much. Bai Mingya waved her hand and said with a strange expression: "But you really want to try to nominate only one vote."

And everyone who voted for it, including the House of Representatives, knew that you voted for it.

And then this incident will be spread as a joke, and it will be circulated in Kashgar political circles for decades, and it will follow you for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Jiao was stunned and said with a dry smile: "That's quite embarrassing." ”

As he spoke, the council had already begun, and the first topic was to elect the deputy speaker, and the members of the Kashgar City Council were listed one by one according to their seniority, and they lined up like elementary school students to enter the voting room.

When Zhang Jiao, the additional member of the Gashi Council, finally finished voting, two officials from the General Affairs Bureau of the Kashgar House entered the voting room and moved the ballot box out.

After that, according to the legal procedures, the speaker of the Kashgar House nominated three members as scrutineers in the order of the strokes of the surnames, and the parliament passed by more than half of the people.

Under the supervision of the scrutineers, the clerk of the General Affairs Bureau began to sing the votes, and the first vote was, "Zhang Bao." ”

Bai Mingya was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and glanced at Zhang Jiao with a strange expression.

Zhang Jiao caught a glimpse of it and said shamelessly: "I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of embarrassment, so I voted for myself, how about it." ”

When the words landed, the clerk sang another vote in a long voice, "Zhang Bao." ”

This time it was changed to Zhang Jiao in a daze, but then he suddenly looked back at Bai Mingya, gritted his teeth and said, "You voted for this vote, Councilor Bai."

If I hadn't been brave enough to vote for myself, then this vote would have been perceived by others as my own vote, and I would still be a..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the secretary of the General Affairs Bureau of the House of Representatives on the rostrum chant loudly again: "Zhang Bao." ”

Zhang Jiao suddenly choked, looked at Bai Mingya and had nothing to say, and then listened to the affairs officer sing a few more votes in a row, "Zhang Bao." ”。

In the end, Zhang Jiao was so inexplicably successful in the by-election and became the 272nd vice speaker of the Kashgar City Council.

The head of the Kashgar City Council, who was sitting at the head of the rostrum, Du Puti, a member of the Sand Digging Party, heard this result and looked at his party members with a blue face.

And all the sand diggers who were swept by his gaze hung their heads red, wishing that there was a crack in the ground for them to get into.

Seeing that the speaker had not announced the appointment of the deputy speaker for a long time, the affairs officer in the audience had to follow the election procedure and said: "Your Excellency, do you have any doubts about the voting results?"

Du Puti knew that he had already made a joke by being careless, and now he had no legitimate reason to question the voting results, which would only turn the joke into a farce.

Although his face became more and more gloomy, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't have any doubts. ”

After that, he announced loudly: "Now that the by-election is over, Congressman Zhang Bao will serve as the vice chairman of the Kashgar City Council, effective immediately." ”

Randomly raised the gavel on the case, and knocked it 3 times in a row to close the coffin.

At this time, the eyes of everyone in the entire council hall shifted to the stunned Zhang Jiao, and although Du Puti knew intellectually that there was such a fork, he had nothing to do with Zhang Jiao's 1 Xiao Yuan.

But he still couldn't help but be angry with him, and said in a loud voice with a blank face: "Councilor Zhang, what are you waiting for."

Sit where you should be and don't waste everyone's time. ”

"Ah, your Excellency the Speaker. Zhang Jiao came back to his senses and hurriedly got up, walked through most of the council hall, ascended to the rostrum, and sat down in the only seat next to Du Puti.

At this moment, Du Puti's face suddenly became gloomy, and his whole body seemed to suddenly lose support, and he slipped directly to the ground.

There was an uproar in the council hall.

All the sand diggers came over in shock, and two of them, who looked a little older, took the opportunity to shout: "You guys see how angry Your Excellency the Speaker is!"

Even if you have an opinion about me and Congressman Xu and are unwilling to vote for us, you can't vote for a hairy boy without party affiliation!

This is simply an intra-party scandal, do you understand the scandal, everyone will not be happy!"

"You thought you would be embarrassed if you voted for yourself, and you didn't want to vote for us, so you used your brains to vote for the guy who was least likely to be elected, and as a result, you put someone on the throne of vice president.

What a bunch of fools, if Your Excellency the Speaker gets angry because of this incident, you will take the blame and quit the party!"

When the other sand diggers heard this, they could only vote hard and argue: "No, Councilor Xu and Councilor Guo, you have misunderstood.

My vote is for you, I, I can swear to God. ”

"Yes, yes, I think it may be that the ecumenical party members are dissatisfied with the candidates recommended by their party, and they don't want to vote for the hostile party, so they voted for Zhang Bao.

It has nothing to do with us. ”

The whole scene was a mess, and for a while everyone forgot the purpose of ascending the rostrum, and completely left Du Puti, who had fainted, aside.
