Chapter 347

~5 min read 880 words

March 1st was the day of the Meng Hu Ling Township People's Congress election. This time, two Deputy Township Heads were to be elected, and this was a competitive election. There were three candidates participating in the election: Su Xinghui, Liu Wu, and Wang Yongchun.

All the People's Congress representatives knew that the people they should truly vote for were the first two, not Wang Yongchun. However, Wang Yongchun's mental state had been very excited today, constantly greeting acquaintances at the scene, looking as if he had already been elected Deputy Township Head.

This morning, Bi Qingshui, the Minister of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, came to Meng Hu Ling Township in person. This was an unusual thing because this time Meng Hu Ling was only electing two Deputy Township Heads. Usually, it did not require a Minister of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee to sit in town in person.

Bi Qingshui sat on the podium with a very serious expression. He certainly knew what had happened this time and also knew the seriousness of this matter. This was a serious political crisis for all members of the Shangjun County Party Committee, which was why he had to come to Meng Hu Ling to sit in town in person.

Many people felt the unusualness of the matter. Only Wang Yongchun was ignorant, which could only make those who knew the inside story sigh that there really was such a thing as being blinded by greed.

Because the population of Meng Hu Ling Township was not large, there were only more than 60 representatives. Now they were all sitting under the podium. As Chen Hongfu, Chairman of the Meng Hu Ling Township People's Congress, announced the start of the election, the representatives filled out their ballots one after another and cast them into the ballot box in front of the podium.

Today's vote counter was Dong Jianshu, the vote singer was Jin Taihe, and the vote supervisor was Chen Hongfu. This lineup was also very luxurious, all to ensure that the election could be held normally.

And Lei Ming led all the police officers of the township police station to the scene to maintain order.

After all the representatives filled out their ballots and put them into the ballot box, Chen Hongfu and Jin Taihe carried the ballot box to the podium together, opened the ballot box, and began to sing the votes.

Jin Taihe took out a ballot and shouted, "Su Xinghui, Liu Wu."

Dong Jianshu drew a horizontal line under each of their names on the blackboard.

"Su Xinghui, Liu Wu."

Dong Jianshu added a vertical line.

"Su Xinghui, Liu Wu."

A small horizontal line.

"Su Xinghui, Liu Wu."

Jin Taihe's voice was emotionless, singing the votes loudly with a blank face, while Dong Jianshu kept writing the character "Zheng" on the blackboard.

Before long, the names of Su Xinghui and Liu Wu were full of "Zheng" characters, while Wang Yongchun's name only had a few strokes, not even enough to form a "Zheng" character.

When the vote singing first started, Wang Yongchun was still full of expectation, but as the "Zheng" characters under the names of Su and Liu became more and more, his face became worse and worse. By the time their "Zheng" characters each exceeded ten, his face was pale, like a gambler who had lost all his capital.

However, Wang Yongchun still had some reason. Looking at Bi Qingshui with a serious face on the podium, his hands were clenched into fists, trembling slightly, but he didn't say a word.

The sixty-plus votes were quickly finished. The election result was clear at a glance. Su Xinghui received all the votes, Liu Wu was only three votes away from a full vote, and Wang Yongchun only received three votes.

Chen Hongfu breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Bi Qingshui.

Chen Hongfu sat back in his seat and said loudly, "I announce..."

Just then, an unexpected thing happened. Wang Yongchun suddenly snapped. He jumped out, rushed to the podium, and shouted, "There is a problem with the vote count. I should be the Deputy Township Head."

His eyeballs turned red, which indicated that he had completely lost his mind.

Wang Yuze reacted quickly. When Wang Yongchun passed by him, he stood up, hugged Wang Yongchun, and said, "Old Wang, don't go crazy, the election is over!"

Wang Yongchun struggled hard and shouted, "No, I should be the Deputy Township Head..."

Wang Yongchun had great strength at this time, and Wang Yuze couldn't hold him. Fortunately, Lei Ming had arrived with several police officers. They subdued Wang Yongchun and took him away from the venue.

Wang Yongchun's shouting could still be heard vaguely: "Why didn't you vote for me? Wasn't it agreed..."

This unexpected incident stunned everyone. People under the stage began to whisper: "This Wang Yongchun, I'm afraid he's gone crazy wanting to be Deputy Township Head."

"Yeah, this is simply wishful thinking."

"Just based on him, he wants to vote out Township Head Su? I won't fall for his trick."

"Yeah, what ability does he have to lead us to poverty alleviation and prosperity? Only a fool wouldn't vote for Township Head Su." ===== CHAPTER 349 =====
