Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 751 - 402: The Opposing Deputy Speakers (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Although he could have the final say, this matter ultimately involved his Attendant's Room. Forcing it through directly would look very ugly.

So, a voting process indeed seemed more appropriate.

Thinking this way, Huang Shangzong made up his mind.

He looked around at the several people present and then spoke, "Chairman Li is right."

"Since this matter involves officials from my Attendant's Room, I can't just dictate. So, let's vote by a show of hands."

After speaking, he said, "Those in favor of transferring Qiu Tu and others to a different location and then starting an investigation, please raise your hands."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead and raised his hand first.

As he raised his hand, Ye Mingfeng also immediately raised his hand.

Huang Shangzong nodded slightly and then looked towards Li Tingdong on his other side.

But strangely, Li Tingdong was just looking down at his documents.

Huang Shangzong paused briefly but didn't mind.

Li Tingdong was always a bit eccentric.

So, he involuntarily looked towards the other Deputy Speakers.

Just then, the old man Liu Xiongyuan slowly raised his hand.

Seeing Liu Xiongyuan raise his hand in support of him, Huang Shangzong felt somewhat relieved, feeling that it was indeed as he had expected.

Although Liu Xiongyuan had a good relationship with Qiu Tu, he wouldn't dare to stand against him in this matter.

However, just as he was thinking this, Liu Xiongyuan suddenly spoke.

With his dark hand boldly raised while sitting on the chair, he said, "I oppose."

Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, Huang Shangzong was slightly startled, feeling a bad premonition.

Indeed, the next second, Tang Feifei also slowly raised her hand and coldly said, "I oppose too."

Liu Xiongyuan and Tang Feifei's seats were next to each other.

And Huang Shangzong and Ye Mingfeng were also next to each other.

So, when the 2:2 vote appeared, the four people, across the long conference table, were immediately starkly opposed!

Seeing this scene, Huang Shangzong's expression slowly turned cold as he stared intently at Liu Xiongyuan and Tang Feifei, then said sternly, "No need to raise your hand to oppose."

At that, Liu Xiongyuan clicked his tongue, "I just didn't want you guys to not see it."

After speaking, he carelessly lowered his hand and then waved at Tang Feifei.

Seeing this, Tang Feifei also lowered her hand.

Huang Shangzong took a deep look at the two, then drew a deep breath, turned to Dai Yukang, and asked in a deep voice, "Director Dai, you didn't raise your hand, did you?"

Upon hearing this, Dai Yukang's face revealed a smile. Then he also raised his hand to signal.

Seeing this scene, Huang Shangzong felt slightly relieved.

However, just then, Dai Yukang also spoke, "Chairman, I oppose as well."

The expression on Huang Shangzong's face froze.

Three votes against? Half the votes?!

Impossible!

Liu Xiongyuan and Tang Feifei were understandable, but why would Dai Yukang stand on Qiu Tu's side!

In that instant, Huang Shangzong felt an immense humiliation!

Not to mention that after the three votes against, his plan to transfer Qiu Tu was basically announced to be ineffective.

Just talking about these opposition votes alone! Half of the Deputy Speakers opposed him, demonstrating that he had lost control over Dongye State!

It meant that he was no longer able to control Dongye State!

This had never happened in the many years since the establishment of the Eighth Sanctuary!

So, for a moment, Huang Shangzong's face turned the color of liver.

At this time, sitting next to him, Ye Mingfeng also finally realized that something was wrong with the entire meeting.

"There's going to be trouble!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Thinking this, he couldn't help but look towards Li Tingdong across from him, his heart constantly sounding an alarm.

Li Tingdong was a serious-looking middle-aged man in his forties, wearing square-frame glasses that added a bit of severity to his appearance.

After the votes turned 2 in favor versus 3 against, he lifted his head from the documents, then, with a stern face, seemed about to speak.

Seeing this, Ye Mingfeng quickly interrupted him, "Everyone, hold on."

"I think our way of voting this time has a problem."

"We are preparing to transfer five or six mid-to-high level officials from the Investigation Bureau. I think everyone's situation is different."

"We should vote on them separately."

Ye Mingfeng was clearly trying to save face for Huang Shangzong.

He could see that Liu Xiongyuan and Tang Feifei must have done their homework beforehand. They persuaded Dai Yukang and Li Tingdong, thus they were so confident and dared to directly confront the Chairman.

If Li Tingdong were to vote, it could be 4 votes against 2. Huang Shangzong would become the joke of the Sanctuary and Dongye State that very day.

This was not good for the stability of Dongye State.

And if they voted separately, the previous vote would not take effect nor be recorded.

Even if it got out... with one opposition in seven or eightvotes, it could greatly reduce the negative impact.

Huang Shangzong obviously guessed what Ye Mingfeng meant, so he took a deep breath and said solemnly, "That makes sense."

However, even though he knew this would save his face, the awareness of the truth still caused Huang Shangzong's eyes to fill with red blood vessels, his face written with resentment...

Thus, the meeting proceeded with 8 rounds of voting, consecutively voting on the transfers of Ai Li, Yu Zhengyi, Qiu Tu, Lin Ting, Cao Dabiao, Chen Feng, and others.

Moreover, in order not to end up with all failed attempts, Ye Mingfeng, thinking ahead, changed the voting from "agree" to "disagree."

That is to say, those who disagreed with the transfer would raise their hand, not raising hands meant agreement by default.

Sure enough, this strategy worked as the transfer requests for the other seven were all approved directly.
