Chapter 213: Vote
District Government Office, meeting room on the third floor.
Yu Zekai and Song Kuiyi convened all the personnel to hold a meeting in the conference room on the same day, and there was only one agenda item -- to call everyone to vote for a new leadership group.
Before the meeting, Song Kuiyi had already learned about everyone's voting "intentions" through various channels, and the so-called "intentions" were also for Song Kuiyi to ask everyone for her opinions on taking the position of chairman.
Not everyone supports Song Kuiyi, and not everyone supports Yu Zekai and others. But because Song Kuiyi was on the table, the focus of contradictions was more focused on him.
"Pulling the tiger skin, I want to be the king. I'm not going to vote for him, it's a vote anyway, and whoever is elected is the same. Lin Boqiang secretly thought to himself, he decided not to choose Song Kuiyi when drawing tickets.
Other politicians are also secretly cursing Song Kuiyi, but ignoring that Yu Zekai is the real driving force behind this election.
As everyone's asylator, Yu Zekai has always behaved very low-key, bowing his head and saying "good leader" when he sees everyone, and greeting everyone with a smile when he looks up, sending everyone to their respective seats.
"Oops! Mr. Ouyang!! Yu Zekai kept looking at the door, watching the dignitaries slowly enter one by one, accompanied by people dressed in black. At the door, a man in black pushed a wheelchair into the conference room, and it was Ouyang Yan in the wheelchair, who was an important supporting role in tonight's play.
Ouyang Yan is the only deputy *national* level personnel in this group, and in terms of political * energy, he is an undisputed bigwig-level figure in this group of people. However, due to his injuries in the zombie crisis, his hands and feet are disabled and he is unable to stand. On the way to escape, there was an explosion next to him, and a piece of shrapnel hit him in the head, and now he can't even speak, his fingers are always shaking, and he will probably have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
Ouyang Yan was wearing a suit, which was changed into with the help of the man in black, but the cuffs looked wrinkled. His eyes were in a trance, looking around, and he didn't seem to be able to see Yu Zekai talking to him clearly in front of him.
"Hurry up and invite Mr. Yu to the front row!" Yu Zekai saw that Ouyang Yan couldn't speak, so he didn't bother to put on a show, and directly asked the man in black to push his wheelchair forward.
"What about Yu Jian?" Yu Zekai frowned and asked the guards beside him.
"Your father may not have come down yet, so I'm going to ask someone to ask for it?" The guard asked.
"Well, there you go. You look at his state and come back and tell me beforehand. Yu Zekai said.
Song Kuiyi's face was full of glamour, he knew that he was a puppet, but he was still busy and happy. It is said that the fox is a fake tiger, but what he wants to do is not a fox, but wants to empty the tiger behind him step by step and be the boss himself.
"It's a joke, zombies are rampant outside, and this group of people still have to engage in these things." A guard does not understand the meaning of politics, he feels that only the slaughter of zombies is the most important thing in this era.
"Boss Yu, all the people are here. Now it's just your father. Song Kuiyi walked up to Yu Zekai and whispered. Yu Zekai looked around, some of these politicians had already sat down, occasionally talking to the people around them, and some were still standing next to them, communicating with the people around them in a few words.
Yu Jian, I'm afraid I won't come, right? Song Kuiyi thought to herself.
Before the meeting, Song Kuiyi appointed a pro-himself politician to have an in-depth "communication" with Yu Jian, the theme of which was to persuade Yu Jian to protect himself wisely and not to be too conspicuous.
"Mr. Yu Jian, Mr. Song Kuiyi's proposal is that he be the chairman and the others will be the vice chairmen. You're also on the list, so you can't help but gossip. Is this Zhongzhou the Zhongzhou of the Yu family? We are all very touched by Mr. Yu Zekai's protection of all of us, but the more this is the case, the more we must have a high profile. The politician persuaded Yu Jian like this.
Yu Jian originally disagreed with the whole vote. He was not particularly supportive of his son's actions, but his decision had been kidnapped by his son's will. At this time, Yu Jian was sitting alone in the room, quietly thinking about what he should do, and he didn't stand up until Yu Zekai's guards urged him for the third time.
"Let's go. Go to the venue. Yu Jian brushed his clothes and walked to the venue.
"It's coming! Mr. Yu Jian is here, all ready. As soon as Song Kuiyi looked up, she saw that Yu Jian had already entered the venue, glanced at Yu Zekai, and stepped forward to greet her.
Yu Zekai felt that Yu Jian's state was a little different from usual, and he couldn't tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, he glanced at his personal guard who was following Yu Jian, and the guard shook his head.
After Yu Jian sat down, Yu Zekai also walked to his seat, and Ouyang Yan was separated from his position and Yu Jian.
There was only one host sitting on the stage, who was also a politician and a die-hard supporter of Song's proposal. He looked in Song Kuiyi's direction, and Song Kuiyi nodded, signaling that the agenda could begin.
"Leaders, then, we will now have a meeting. Now we don't have a microphone after all, so we can only shout loudly, and the leaders sitting in the back row please forgive me. The presiding politician is named Ma Tengdong, who was originally an official at Jiankou.
"The main purpose of bringing everyone together today is to vote for the new leadership of the state, and under the end of the world, we are now united to build a new leadership team, which is an important turning point for our Zhongzhou people to fight against zombies......" Ma Tengdong read the manuscript, and the more he read it, the more he felt uncomfortable. In the past, all his manuscripts were completed by a full-time secretary. Now this manuscript was done by a man in black found by Song Kuiyi, and it has always been lacking in writing and structure.
Ma Tengdong finished reading the meaning, simply threw away the manuscript and went straight to the topic.
"We were able to gather here for a meeting today without being devoured by zombies, first of all, thanks to Mr. Yu's family and their armed forces. In the early days of the zombie crisis, they used a lot of effort to shelter everyone. After the outbreak of the zombie crisis, Mr. Song Kuiyi also made great efforts for everyone's survival and put forward a lot of good life suggestions for everyone. Ma Tengdong first praised several candidates.
"The purpose of our meeting today is to elect a new leader. Everyone has a ballot paper and a note in their hands. The names of the candidates are listed on the note, and if you find it acceptable, please tick the box below the names on the ballot paper. If there are other candidates, put a cross below the name on the ballot. Ma Tengdong continued to talk about the voting rules.
Yu Zekai picked up the ballot paper and looked at it carefully. The format of this ballot paper was designed by Song Kuiyi, and there are three rows of five columns on the ballot. The first row is written in turn "main * seat", "deputy main * seat" and other positions, and the second row is directly listed in order Song Kuiyi, Yu Jian, Ouyang Yan, Yu Zekai, temporarily vacant. The third row is used for drawing tickets. On the ballot notes, the political qualifications of the four people were briefly explained.
"Your ticket, the design is average. What should I do if everyone writes someone else's name when they draw tickets like this? Yu Zekai turned his head to look at Song Kuiyi.
"No way, it's all handwritten and hand-drawn by the group of people under your command, we don't have electricity, we don't have printers." Song Kuiyi prevaricated.
After Ma Tengdong explained the rules, everyone began to bow their heads and draw tickets. After a brief silence, Ma Tengdong began to organize people to vote in the ballot box.
There were no waves in the voting process, and everyone walked to the stage one by one and stuffed their votes into the ballot boxes. Two men in black came to the stage, opened the ticket box on the spot, and counted the results in a corner of the room. Others went into a short break.
One of the men in black was Yu Zekai's guard, and after he counted the results, he first whispered to Yu Zekai.
"There are a total of twenty-eight votes, and there are twenty-five votes for your vice-chairman*, and there is no problem." The guard said.
"What about the others?"
"There's a situation...... Among the main * seats, only fifteen people chose Song Kuiyi...... According to the rules, although he will not lose the election, the foundation will definitely be unstable. ”
Expectedly, if he had a good political foundation, I wouldn't have elected him. Yu Zekai had expected such an outcome. "So, who are the rest of the main seats?"
"There is one selection of you, two selections of Mr. Ouyang Yan, and the remaining ten are concentrated on a person named Hu Zhiqing."
Hu Zhiqing?
Yu Zekai frowned, he was a little worried that the tickets were so concentrated on the head of a person who did not belong to him. He went on to ask about the other votes.
"Yu Jian's tickets are not much, only twenty-one, and the other tickets ...... There is one vacancy, and the other six are selected by Ren Zongxiang. ”
Ren Zongxiang? This person...... should be closer to Song Kuiyi? Yu Zekai thought with some displeasure.
"There is nothing wrong with the other votes, and on the whole, there is no problem with the election of the four candidates." The guard said.
"I know, the vote has to be recorded, and the overall rhythm is still under our control." Yu Zekai said this, but he thought in his heart: Song Kuiyi, have you secretly started planning to get me? As for this Hu Zhiqing, where did Cheng Biting Jin come out? Deal with it later!
Ma Tengdong returned to the podium, and this time, the four candidates also sat on the stage.
"The results of our vote have come out, so I'll sing the vote."
Every time Ma Tengdong finished speaking a set of votes, there was sporadic applause below. After all the votes were sung, Ma Tengdong began to announce the results of the vote.
"After a public vote by everyone, I now declare that the ........."
"I don't support this result!!"
A loud voice suddenly came from the center of the venue.
Yu Zekai looked up in surprise.
Everyone in the venue sat steadily, and when he turned around, he found that the person who stood up to express his opposition was his father, Yu Jian!
