Chapter 5142

Hearing these words from Liu Xuemei, Sun Dacai and Wu Min nodded at the same time. Wu Min's face gradually returned to a bit of blood color and became a bit rosy, and her tightly strained heart relaxed a bit, because she knew that even if the election result was not ideal, not only did Mayor Zhang Dewang want to ensure that she would be elected as vice mayor, but Liu Xuemei was also her old acquaintance, and she should also turn a blind eye to this matter.

The more than three hundred representatives attending this People's Congress received the staff's notice and returned to the venue one after another. The three people standing on the podium whispered to each other for a while. Director Li knocked on the microphone, coughed twice, and said, "Please return to your seats immediately, representatives. The meeting is about to start."

"The voting results just now will be announced below."

Warm applause erupted from under the stage.

"Representatives, this vice mayor election is an attempt by the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to reform the cadre and personnel system. However, our representatives are used to equal-number elections, so it is difficult for them to choose between the two vice mayor candidates, and a special situation has occurred where some representatives cast abstention votes and both candidates did not receive more than half of the votes." Speaking of this, Director Li stopped, and his sharp triangular eyes moved slowly under the stage.

Suddenly, a stir appeared under the venue, and some people even turned their heads to whisper to others.

After pausing, Director Li coughed twice again and continued, "Representatives, according to the relevant regulations, another vote must be held for the two candidates below. I hope that the representatives will seriously exercise the power in their hands and cast their solemn votes carefully!"

After Director Li finished speaking, the staff distributed ballots to the representatives again. Everyone began to fill out the ballots again. Some people wrote the ballots very quickly with confidence, while others looked embarrassed and found it difficult to choose. There were also representatives who cast abstention votes for the first time, and this time it was even more difficult, because almost everyone had heard that Wu Min was going to be promoted to vice mayor, and it was just a formality at the People's Congress. However, as a candidate, Sun Dacai temporarily established relationships with some representatives, which led to a relatively special situation in the election results. Therefore, when voting again for the second time, those representatives who were bought by Sun Dacai had to consider carefully.

This time, the representatives spent a long time on the ballots. After several inquiries by the staff, everyone nodded to indicate that they had filled them out. Next was voting. It was still the same as the first time. Everyone lined up and walked slowly toward the ballot box, casting the ballots in their hands. After Wu Min and Sun Dacai were called in by Mayor Zhang to talk, Wu Min's heart was settled, but Sun Dacai's heart was not settled, and it was even very unbalanced, because from Mayor Zhang's words, he could hear that Mayor Zhang was trying his best to support Wu Min's rise. This made Sun Dacai's heart somewhat unbalanced. In his view, as a man, how could he lose to a woman in such a good opportunity? He had extremely dissatisfied views on this temporarily arranged second vote.

And Director Li stood outside the conference hall. The weather that day was very gloomy, and the northwest wind was blowing. Because it had rained, the temperature dropped sharply, and the biting northwest wind kept drilling into people's necks. Director Li shrank his neck, regretting not bringing his long trench coat.

"Director Li!" Just at this moment, a soft call came from behind Director Li.

Director Li turned around instinctively and saw Secretary Sun Dacai of the Linbei District Committee standing behind him.

"Director Li, why are you standing here alone?" Sun Dacai said with a smile, hurriedly took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to Director Li, and diligently helped him light it.

"Waiting for the statistical results." Director Li exhaled a puff of smoke and then said to Sun Dacai, "Comrade Dacai, take this election lightly and trust the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government."

"Director Li, I have some words I want to say to you." Sun Dacai chuckled, rubbing his hands constantly, not knowing if it was because of the cold or because he was a bit uneasy in front of the leader.

"Go ahead." Director Li smiled faintly, but felt confused inside. This Sun Dacai suddenly found him; what could he say?

"Director Li." Sun Dacai hesitated for a while before hardening his heart and saying, "Just now I heard many representatives discussing privately, expressing doubts about this vote."

Hearing Sun Dacai say this, Director Li felt nervous and immediately looked at him seriously, saying, "Comrade Dacai, these words cannot be said casually! The Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government are worried about accidents in the election, so the meeting is arranged very tightly. Registration in the morning, a one-hour preparatory meeting, and the election in the afternoon."

Sun Dacai shook his head and said, "It's not campaigning for votes, but someone played tricks on the ballots that have already been cast."

Hearing Sun Dacai say this, Director Li's heartstrings couldn't help but tighten, and his face became even more serious, saying, "Comrade Dacai, this kind of thing cannot be said casually. That is making a mistake. Besides, who has such an opportunity?"

Sun Dacai smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just saying. I don't have enough evidence either, but I believe there is no wall that doesn't let wind through. As the saying goes, if you want people not to know, you shouldn't do it yourself."

"Secretary Sun, you are the Secretary of the Linbei District Committee and an old comrade. You must pay attention to your identity when speaking!" After listening to Sun Dacai's words, although Director Li said so, he was worried inside, fearing that something would go wrong.

Just at this moment, Little Li walked out of the temporary office and hurried to Director Li, saying, "Director Li, Minister Zhao of the Organization Department is looking for you!"

Director Li entered the temporary office and saw Zhao Changtian standing in the middle of the office, looking high-spirited. Seeing Director Li enter, he said, "Director Li, there is finally a result."

Director Li smiled and said, "Minister Zhao has made an indelible contribution. How is it?"

"Come, come, come, sit down!" Zhao Changtian sold a pass and pulled Director Li to sit down.

Seeing Zhao Changtian so happy, Director Li already knew the result from his face. As for what it was based on, it was naturally based on the fact that Mayor Zhang had already greeted the leaders of the four sets of teams and Organization Minister Zhao Changtian before the election.

"Minister Zhao, announce it to the representatives immediately?" Director Li said.

"Announce it. The idea of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government is correct. This is an attempt at democracy. We must seriously summarize the experience and vigorously promote it," Zhao Changtian said, dancing with joy. Such an election result finally met Mayor Zhang Dewang's wishes, and it wouldn't cause them to be implicated.

Hearing these words from Zhao Changtian, Director Li not only didn't feel relaxed at all, but felt a bit heavy. He felt that this was not a creative invention, nor was it worth praising, because no matter who was handed to the representatives in such an election, someone would always be elected. The root of reforming the cadre and personnel system was how to produce candidates, and even every procedure should be carried out in the sun. What kind of democracy was this method!

The representatives returned to their seats again. Only Director Li and Zhao Changtian remained on the podium. Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Liu Xuemei and Mayor Zhang Dewang not only did not board the podium, but even the seat cards were removed, which made the representatives feel a bit inexplicable. Even Director Li didn't understand why Mayor Zhang left early. But soon he figured it out. They did this to completely hand over the power of announcing the results to the Municipal People's Congress, which was actually wiping their butts and leaving early.

Therefore, Director Li performed a one-man show alone. He walked onto the podium, sat down, and suddenly stood up again, waving to the stage. The representatives all cast their eyes on Director Li's hand, and saw Wu Min, who was radiant and glowing on the stage. Old Li also wanted to use this method to indirectly tell the representatives at the scene about the results of the second vote.

Wu Min turned around, bowed deeply to the representatives, and then floated onto the podium like a cloud. Director Li saw that her face was like the morning glow, and even more like the expression of flowers in full bloom.

Director Li suddenly felt that Wu Min seemed to be no longer the female subordinate he had in his impression. In Director Li's impression, Wu Min was a female with great work ability and very humble. Although she was beautiful, she was very humble and shy. He still remembered that when Wu Min was the Secretary of the Township Party Committee, she would still be like a little girl who hadn't left the boudoir when she saw strangers, shy and full of peach blossoms.

Director Li was also an old acquaintance with her, and in the officialdom, he was a level or two higher than her. If he remembered correctly, Wu Min should be only a few years younger than him. Director Li remembered that when he was in the Organization Department of the Xijing Municipal Party Committee, that year Chanba District was just listed and established, and it lacked a deputy district mayor. He led a team to Chanba District to inspect cadres and ranked five people among the division-level and deputy division-level cadres in the whole district. At that time, Wu Min was thirty-six years old, and among those five people, her work ability was the most outstanding. When Director Li talked to her, she didn't know what the Municipal Party Committee meant. Just like that, she became the deputy district mayor in a daze.
