Yan Liang will be promoted and transferred out soon.

He did not tell anyone about this. This was still considereda secret now. But the Political Commissar Zhou has connections in the CityBureau, and he should have heard about it. Political Commissar Zhou went tolook for Yan Liang. Both of them had some minor conflicts over the years, butit was nothing major. Both were still considered to be on good terms. Yan Liangwill be transferred out soon, and his attitude had changed. He felt he shouldlet some of his authority go and sell Zhou Guoan favor. If Zhou Guoan were ableto succeed his position, Zhou Guoan would also treat his former closesubordinates well.

Yes.

Yan Liang had decided to support Guo Shunjie to be theDeputy Chief of General Affairs Office. Zhou Guoan's side had got 4 votes. WithYan Liang's vote, it will be 5 votes. Xu Yan only has 3 votes. She needs 3 morepeople to support her. But Pang Bin had expressed his support and Liu Hua willgive up his vote. There were no more people.

5:3

This will be the final outcome.

"Xiao Dong do have the capabilities." Yan Liang did not saymuch. But his tone was very obvious. "But his age?" If this were mentioned bysomeone else, Xu Yan and Song Shoujie would surely retort. But it was Chief Yanwho suggested. It was different. Xu Yan could feel Yan Liang's attitude. Shesighed in her heart. She knew there was nothing she could do. The No.1 and No.2of the branch had decided to support Guo Shunjie. There was no way Guo Shunjiewould not get this position.

Zhou Guoan added. "State Security is a special department inour country, and the General Affairs Office handles the documents of a lot ofdepartments. For a two-month-old newbie, we must take time to monitor andobserve him. I am sure no one here wants any accidents to happen in thefuture."

Xu Yan's face changed. "These words are too serious."

Zhou Guoan smiled. "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Song Shoujie frowned. "Xiao Dong's background checks werealready concluded. If not, he will also not enter the State Security. Thisshould not be mentioned now..."

"Let's stop arguing." Yan Liang massaged his temples. "SinceGuo Shunjie and Dong Xuebing are the top candidates, then we shall vote. Thosethat support Guo Shunjie raise your hands." Yan Liang did not raise his handimmediately. When there were different views, he will usually wait until after everyonehave expressed their views.

Yan Liang was a righteous person. But being righteous wasonly his weapon for power. Struggling for power... was the primary motive forbeing in politics!

Yan Liang had high political wisdom. If not, he would notclimb to the position of branch bureau Chief.

"I support Guo Shunjie." 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Me too."

Zhou Guoan, Li Mingyu, Zhao Jingxi, Cheng Haimei raisedtheir hands. 4 votes!

Yan Liang nodded. "Those that support Dong Xuebing raiseyour hands."

Xu Yan was the first to raise her hand, followed by SongShoujie and Yang Yizhong. 3 votes!

Zhao Jingxi smiled, and side glanced to his side. But thisgesture made Pang Bin furious again. Chief Pang still remembers Zhao Jingxi'ssarcastic remarks earlier, and he wants to stir up the problem for him. PangBin loudly said. "Since Guo Panwei does not have any chance, then I think DongXuebing is a better candidate than Guo Shunjie." He finished speaking and raisehis hand!

4 votes!

Zhou Guoan sneered.

Zhao Jingxi knew from Zhou Guoan that Chief Yan will supportthem. He smiled at Pang Bin.

Pang Bin also knew from Yan Liang's tone that nothing willchange even if he supported Dong Xuebing. But he still raises his hand. Hispurpose was only to add some obstacles to Zhao Jingxi.

Zhao Jingxi's sarcastic remarks and Cheng Haimei's lastminute change of mind had pissed Pang Bin off.

Xu Yan and Song Shoujie looked at each other and smilewarily. They knew this was decided. But they were still surprised to see theyhad gotten 4 votes. It was the same number of votes as Zhou Guoan's side. Thiswas still a good sign. If Dong Xuebing was slightly older and had a longerlength of service, the results will be different. Chief Yan might also...

"I support Dong Xuebing!"

When everyone was waiting for Yan Liang to announce GuoShunjie's promotion, they heard someone saying this. Everyone was shocked!

1 second....

2 seconds...

The time seems to have stopped!

Zhao Jingxi looked at the person sitting beside him inshock. This was someone who never says anything during their meeting. He stillthought he had misheard. "What?"

Yan Laing, Zhou Guoan, Xu Yan, Song Shoujie, Cheng Haimei,Li Mingyu and the rest all turned to look at that person. All of them haddifferent facial expressions.

This person had come to the Western District for more than ayear. He had never expressed his views during their Party Committee meetingsbefore. All this while, he has been keeping quiet in a corner from the startuntil the end of the meetings. Liu Hua, who have always give up his vote, hadvoted for the very first time in their sessions! Liu Hua raised his hand anddid not give any reason. He only repeated what he said calmly: "I support DongXuebing."

5 votes!

No one expected Liu Hua to say anything, but at this verymoment, he opened his mouth!

This was surprising!!!!

At this moment, Xu Yan could feel goosebumps. She stared atLiu Hua in shock before turning to look at Yan Liang!

Zhou Guoan's face was black. Very black. He also turned tolook at Yan Liang!

Song Shoujie swallowed his saliva and turned to look atChief Yan!

Soon, everyone was looking at Yan Liang. They want to knowwho will Yan Liang support!?

Yan Liang took a deep breath. He had wanted to vote for GuoShunjie. Yes. That was what he had decided. Firstly, Dong Xuebing was too young,and he still prefers Guo Shunjie, who was older. Secondly, he wanted to sellZhou Guoan favor. They had already discussed this before the meeting. But now,Yan Liang suddenly realized that... he cannot vote for Gou Shunjie! novelbuddy .com

Yes. Yan Liang cannot vote for him!

It was 5:4 now. Even if Yan Liang vote for Guo Shunjie, itwill still be 5:5. A draw!

The No.1 and No.2 of a branch bureau voted for the sameperson, and the result was a draw, it will be a laughing stock if words getout! This Leaders in the City Bureau will think there are some problems withthe leadership in the Western District branch!

If Yan Liang had voted for Guo Shunjie at the first moment,Pang Bin will surely not dare to vote for Dong Xuebing!

If Yan Liang had openly voiced out his support for GuoShunjie, then they will not need to vote!

If...

But... there are no so many ifs!!!
