Chapter 558: Chapter 558: Deng Guohai Hidden in the Shadows

Zhou Dacheng and Huang Song clashed.

As the four candidates were proposed, the atmosphere subtly shifted.

Everyone understood that now, they were targeting Zhou Dacheng. If Zhou Dacheng didn’t come out on top in this personnel discussion, it would be a blow to him.

Since they were all veterans of the bureaucratic world, they naturally understood the situation. Thus, everyone watched closely as events unfolded.

Ji Yang made another observation; Deng Guohai had stopped arguing too much after proposing his candidate.

Through analysis, Ji Yang realized that although Deng Guohai had nominated Chang Lixia, he didn’t seem to care much about it. Ji Yang even felt that Deng Guohai preferred Gui Chunping.

Gui Chunping was the candidate nominated by the organizational department. Everyone knew he was just there to make up the numbers, while Zhou Dacheng hoped for Zhang Ningcheng to rise to the position.

Thus, under Ji Yang’s covert observation, people in the discussion unintentionally leaned towards Gui Chunping.

Huang Yan said, "I think Gui Chunping is more suitable. This comrade has always been very diligent and capable. I believe Gui Chunping is the better choice."

With her declaration, Zhou Dacheng’s expression darkened further.

Su Jincheng said, "Zhang Ningcheng performed very well in all aspects during the inspection."

Zhou Dacheng also spoke, "Indeed, I’ve reviewed both candidates proposed by the organization department, and Comrade Zhang Ningcheng seems better in all aspects."

Huang Song said, "Comrade Zhu Mingyu has rich work experience, I think he is even better."

After they each stated their views, Zhou Dacheng’s frown deepened as he realized the difficulty of the situation.

"Let’s all discuss."

Fang Shijun suggested, "Let’s vote by show of hands, I think all the opinions are fairly good."

Huang Yan asked, "It’s clear there are differing opinions. What if there is no majority when we vote?"

Deng Guohai proposed, "Then the one with the most votes should become the secretary-general. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. Everyone, feel free to share your thoughts."

Deng Guohai’s suggestion cornered Zhou Dacheng.

Huang Song’s face also looked somewhat unpleasant. He knew that the candidate he proposed might indeed not be easy to appoint, but as long as he could thwart Zhou Dacheng’s candidate, he was pleased.

Looking at Deng Guohai, he felt that Deng Guohai’s candidate was probably also difficult to appoint.

After a moment, Huang Song said, "Alright, I agree to a show of hands to see what everyone thinks."

Zhou Dacheng had no choice but to say, "Okay, let’s all vote. Those in favor of Comrade Zhang Ningcheng, please raise your hands."

He finished speaking and was the first to raise his hand.

Then, Su Jincheng also raised his hand.

Two votes!

Zhou Dacheng was quite disappointed and glanced at Huang Yan and Lu Mingping—today, Lu Mingping did not stand on his side.

"Those in favor of Comrade Zhu Mingyu, please raise your hand."

Huang Song raised his hand.

Deng Guohai also raised his hand.

That made two votes.

Huang Song did not expect Deng Guohai to support him and gave him a glance.

Zhou Dacheng’s face looked much better, and he smiled, "That’s also two votes. Now, those in favor of Comrade Chang Lixia, please raise your hand."

Naturally, Deng Guohai raised his hand.

After hesitating, Huang Song also raised his hand.

No more hands were raised for a while, so Zhou Dacheng said, "That’s also two votes. Now, those in favor of Comrade Gui Chunping, please raise your hand."

This time Huang Yan raised her hand, then Fang Shijun, and finally, Cao Jiakun also raised his hand.

When Zhou Dacheng looked around, he noticed Ji Yang had not raised his hand at any point, nor had Lu Mingping; both seemed indifferent to either side.

However, Zhou Dacheng was displeased that Gui Chunping was appointed with Huang Yan’s support.

As they had said before, whoever got the most votes would get the position, and Gui Chunping had the most votes. He found it almost impossible to object.

Huang Yan said, "Secretary Zhou, it seems more people support Comrade Gui Chunping."

Good grief!

Ji Yang understood now. Even at this moment, Deng Guohai wouldn’t take the forefront; he had pushed Huang Yan forward.

Moreover, from the look of things, Fang Shijun must also be under Deng Guohai’s influence.

As for Cao Jiakun, it was still unclear what his situation was.

Deng Guohai was playing a clever game!
