Chapter 181

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to turn cold, Qin Chuan said with a smile, "Since Town Mayor Ma proposed to vote by a show of hands, why don't we respect Town Mayor Ma's meaning."

"Comrades who agree with Dai Nan Construction Company undertaking the Huatian Village housing reconstruction project, please raise your hands."

A sharp look flashed in Su Yang's eyes. Because Wang Hao withdrew after this matter, Qin Chuan had sent him a message, the general meaning of which was to let Su Yang decide.

This can also be considered as recognizing reality and taking a step back on his own initiative.

Now, because Ma Zhengyang suddenly jumped out, Qin Chuan actually started playing this democratic centralism decision-making set; this is to take advantage of this opportunity to win over Ma Zhengyang.

This is truly an old fox who won't let go of even a tiny bit of political interest.

If he can take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with Ma Zhengyang, that would be the best. If he can't, he can also test Ma Zhengyang's meaning. At the same time, he can also see the reactions of these Town Party Committee members and whose side their butts are sitting on.

This time Su Yang didn't wait for others to raise their hands; he took the lead and raised his hand, saying, "I proposed this matter, so of course I fully support it."

With his lead, Publicity Committee member Bai Jing and Organization Committee member Li Chunsheng also raised their hands. However, with only the three of them raising their hands, it really looked a bit thin.

At this time, a faint smile appeared on Ma Zhengyang's face. It seemed that Su Yang's support rate here was not that high; at least the Party Committee team didn't have that many die-hard supporters.

He smiled and said, "It seems that there are not many comrades who support it. Otherwise, which comrades are not willing to support, please raise..."

But before his voice fell, Discipline Inspection Committee member Bai Jiaxuan, who had not expressed his stance, raised his hand with a "swish" and said, "Dai Nan Construction Engineering Company's reputation and popularity in the industry are very high, and there are countless people looking for them to do projects now."

"Even their projects are well-known in the city, so I support Town Mayor Su's proposal. By choosing a construction company with guaranteed reputation and quality, and also supporting the enterprises that have gone out from our local area, isn't that a win-win?"

Seeing Bai Jiaxuan suddenly raise his hand, everyone couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that Bai Jiaxuan had previously followed Li Tian closely. Now that Li Tian was gone, logically speaking, he would most likely lean toward Qin Chuan.

Even at the last Town Party Committee meeting, he didn't raise his hand to support Su Yang.

This allowed Qin Chuan to see the opportunity he could win over, but he didn't expect Bai Jiaxuan to actually support Su Yang this time!

He didn't turn the corner for a moment and didn't understand what was going on.

The others were about the same, their brains reflecting on the root cause of this matter.

But only Su Yang knew clearly in his heart that Bai Jiaxuan was a Discipline Inspection Committee member after all. Besides accepting the direct management of the Town Party Committee, the County Discipline Inspection Commission would also manage him.

The key was that the current County Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Fang Jingwen also served as the County Party Committee Deputy Secretary and had strong personnel speaking power in the county. There was a 100% possibility that Fang Jingwen had greeted Bai Jiaxuan.

Bai Jiaxuan absolutely didn't have the courage to go against Fang Jingwen; otherwise, this Discipline Inspection Committee member of his would be easily replaced by others.

That's why Bai Jiaxuan supported Su Yang at this juncture.

At this time, although Ma Zhengyang felt very unhappy, in his view, the Town Party Committee team had a total of nine members. Even counting Su Yang, there were four people who agreed, but there were still five people who hadn't expressed their stance.

He pondered for a while and said directly to Qin Chuan, "Secretary Qin, we have a total of nine team members, and only four agree. According to this, the remaining few should all be opposed, right? According to the principle of the minority being subordinate to the majority, this proposal..."

Hearing Ma Zhengyang say this, two words suddenly floated in everyone's hearts: "shameless" and "little cleverness."

Not supporting is not supporting, but not supporting doesn't necessarily mean being opposed.

Let alone him, even Town Party Committee Secretary Qin Chuan couldn't make a decision like that.

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, Su Yang said coldly, "Deputy Town Mayor Ma, not supporting doesn't necessarily mean being opposed, so if there is a vote, there should be a vote. Could it be that the government units in the city make decisions like this?"

"Or, at your level, Deputy Town Mayor Ma, when you were at the United Front Work Department, you didn't have this qualification at all?"

This sentence made Ma Zhengyang blush. He just wanted to steal a chicken and play a little clever, but he was exposed nakedly.

For the current situation, although Qin Chuan was slightly disappointed, overall he could still control it; at least Ma Zhengyang was standing on the opposite side of Su Yang.

It seems that the Town Party Committee meeting still needed him to make the final decision, so he said, "Town Mayor Su is right. Comrades who do not support, please raise your hands."

As his voice fell, Ma Zhengyang was the first to raise his hand, followed by his die-hard ally Feng Shikuan.

Then it was Xu Jin, who followed his footsteps unshakably, and then it should be the People's Armed Forces Department Minister Gao Changsheng.

In this way, finally, once he made the final decision, this matter could be determined.

Although he didn't have any other candidates, it was good to disgust Su Yang. At least let Su Yang know who is in charge of Huatian Town.

But at this time, People's Armed Forces Minister Gao Changsheng said, "Secretary Qin, Town Mayor Su, comrades, everyone knows that besides the things I am responsible for, I basically have no right to speak on other matters, so I personally abstain from voting on this matter."

This time, everyone present was stunned.

Especially Qin Chuan, who originally had the victory in his hands. He had calculated before that he would at least get five votes, because Ma Zhengyang's stance clearly couldn't stand with Su Yang.

But after all the calculations, he didn't calculate that Gao Changsheng would suddenly abstain from voting. This was no less than a backstab to him. In the last round, he clearly supported him; what exactly happened?

Originally, his worst plan was that two people would support Ma Zhengyang.

In this way, Su Yang and Ma Zhengyang would reach a tie, and he and Xu Jin would remain still.

At the last moment, no matter who these two were, they would have to look at his face, and his every word and action could control the overall situation.

But in the current situation, Su Yang didn't expect it either. Remembering the last vote, Gao Changsheng stood on Qin Chuan's side. For this reason, he had already thought of the relevant rhetoric.

Now, with Gao Changsheng's abstention, Qin Chuan and the others cast four opposing votes, which could only be a four-to-four tie.

But he didn't rush to express his stance; instead, he looked at Ma Zhengyang and asked, "Town Mayor Ma, what is your attitude?"

Ma Zhengyang naturally expressed his opposition clearly. He raised his hand resolutely and said, "Anyway, I am opposed."

Immediately after, Party Committee Deputy Secretary Feng Shikuan also raised his hand resolutely.

Xu Jin looked at Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan didn't show anything, so Xu Jin also said lightly, "I abstain!"

Since he couldn't win, abstaining was the most decent choice.

Ma Zhengyang was instantly confused. What are you doing? Playing with me? Or disgusting me?

So I was deliberately made to jump up and down by you? And in the end, you stood out to be the good guy?

At this time, Qin Chuan said slowly, "It seems that the eyes of the masses are discerning. It is said that a golden cup or a silver cup is not as good as the reputation of the common people. Since that's the case, this project will fall on Dai Nan Construction Engineering Company, and specifically, it will be led and responsible by Town Mayor Su."

He didn't express support, nor did he express opposition, and at the same time, he didn't want to bear any responsibility, so he simply threw it to Su Yang.

"Another thing is the matter of us developing village-level enterprises. I personally express full support for this matter. Currently, our town's apple processing plant is about to start construction and will be completed and used within a month. This was also proposed by Town Mayor Su before. I think there is no problem with this, so we won't discuss it here."

"But if we want to develop the town's economy, besides the apple plant, we should continue to attract investment. So I suggest that I, Town Mayor Su, and Town Mayor Ma each negotiate with an investor to settle here. Do you two have any problems?"
