Great changes in the countryside

Chapter 511 Year [-]
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Old Zhang, why did you drink it?"

"Guess what wine I'm drinking?"

"Boozy."

"Why dull wine?"

"Dai Yimin patted his ass and left, leaving a development company with an uncertain future. As you in your 50s, I'm afraid that you will lose your fortune because of this."

"The one who knows me is Chen Yang. Sit down, sit down, drink and drink."

Chen Yang sat down, but Lao Zhang was in a bad mood, so he resolutely refused to drink.

Chen Yang asked for a cigarette, lit it up and took a few puffs.

"Old Zhang, in fact, you have nothing to be depressed about. Dai Yimin has high hopes. When he came to Zegu Town, you should have thought that he might leave at any time."

Lao Zhang nodded, "Yes, I should be mentally prepared for this."

"By the way, is Cai Meili also transferred?" Chen Yang asked.

"Cai Meili won't go."

"Well, we've become a couple, but we're going to live in two places."

Lao Zhang smiled, "Let's not talk about them. Let's look forward and talk about Yao Xingping."

Chen Yang also smiled, "You and I know each other, you ask yourself."

"Do not really understand."

"I don't know much about it either."

Lao Zhang nodded, "Then talk about the development company. When Dai Yimin was around, you didn't want to talk about it. Now that Dai Yimin is gone, you can always talk about it."

For the development company, Chen Yang did have his own way, and he really didn't want to tell Dai Yimin.

Facing Lao Zhang, Chen Yang confessed everything without reservation.

Lao Zhang is engrossed.

After hearing this, Lao Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, "Yang, if you come to be the manager of the development company, I can rest easy."

"With Yao Xingping now, it's not a big problem. Yao Xingping is relatively honest. If you make an idea, he will definitely listen to you."

"Also, you have to continue to be my staff officer."

"That's no problem. As long as you Lao Zhang needs it, I will define it without hesitation."

The two met bosom friends over wine, and had a very happy conversation, unknowingly, until late at night.

Chen Yang walked home.

After returning home, taking a shower, and sitting in the study, Chen Yang glanced at the two desk calendars, one new and one old, on the desk.

[-] is here.

The village came to notice.

On January [-]rd, a branch meeting was held to elect a new branch committee.

On the afternoon of January [-]rd, a joint meeting of party members and village representatives was held, and a nine-member election committee was elected to be responsible for the new term of the village committee.

There are two meetings a day. They are busy enough. Chen Yang and the others who live in Zegu Town have to get up early.

On the morning of the [-]rd, just after six o'clock, a motor boat set off with Chen Yang and the others.

Eleven party members and seven village representatives made a total of eighteen people, including Tong Laogui and Chen Yaoping who were both party members and village representatives.

In the winter morning, I took the boat again and the wind was blowing, and the cold was piercing to the flesh.

Chen Yang purposely borrowed ten old military coats from Chen Bing's factory. He didn't use them himself, and specially gave them to grandpa, Tong Laogui and other elderly people.

Chen Yang also told Cai Nanmei that he was responsible for paying the money, made [-] steamed buns, and a bowl of hot soy milk for each person, and sat on the boat to eat slowly.

Cai Nanmei was also on board, and he was also one of the village representatives.

At [-]:[-], the boat berthed at Hebu Wharf in Chenjiacun.

Ma Yutang, the township leader stationed in the village, came to welcome everyone together with the branch secretary Chen Shengmei.

At nine o'clock sharp, the branch meeting was held.

The branch currently has 45 party members, two of whom were unable to attend the meeting for some reason, so there were actually 43 members.

Ma Yutang presided over the meeting and made an important speech.

The main event is of course the re-election of the branch committee and the introduction of the differential election system.

Ma Yutang announced that with the approval of the township party committee, the new branch committee will still consist of five people.

There are seven candidates, namely Chen Shengmei, Chen Yang, Cai Yuesong, Chen Tianchun, Chen Meiliang, Chen Yuhua and Tong Laogui.

This is followed by a public solicitation of opinions on the candidates.

Chen Yang stood up first, and took out a written report to apply for withdrawal from the list of candidates.

Chen Yang had three reasons.

One is insufficient capacity.

The second is that he has no time. He lives in Zegu Town, so it is difficult to take care of the affairs of the village.

The third is that he is studying and may live in Shanghai for a few years.

Chen Yang stated that he hoped that everyone would not elect him, but he would fulfill his duties as a party member and unswervingly support the work in the village.

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang bowed to everyone.

Chen Yang's attitude won warm applause from most of the participants.

Then the party secretary Cai Shengmei got up.

He made a verbal statement, expressing his withdrawal from the re-election and no longer serving as party secretary.

There are two reasons, one is lack of ability, and the other is poor health.

Similarly, the party secretary's statement also won applause.

Ma Yutang first expressed his gratitude to the two, and then explained that the ballots had already been printed, and the names of Chen Yang and Chen Shengmei were not easy to cross out, but please be careful when crossing out the ballots.

The ballots are sent out.

On each ballot paper is a list of seven people.

Still choose five out of seven, five ticks, two crosses.

43 people, five votes per vote, total 210 five votes.

Obviously, in order to be elected, at least a majority is required, that is, 22 votes.

Ma Yutang invited Cai Guoping and Cai Chaoyang to come up and count the votes with him.

The results were a bit surprising.

Chen Yang received the most votes, with a total of 35 votes.

其他依次是蔡岳松31票、陈生梅29票、陈美良25票、童老贵23票、陈玉花21票、陈田春十八票。

The total number of votes of the seven people is only 180 two, 210 five minus 180 two, 33 votes less.

Obviously, many people did not abide by the five-out-of-seven policy, but chose four out of seven or even three out of seven.

The preliminary result is that Chen Yang, Cai Yuesong, Chen Shengmei, Chen Meiliang and Tong Laogui were elected, while Chen Yuhua and Chen Tianchun lost.

Ma Yutang also announced that because Chen Yang and Chen Shengmei withdrew, a by-election will be held next.

The by-election is also simple, the only candidates are Chen Yuhua and Chen Tianchun.

The two got 26 votes and 24 votes respectively, which is considered a smooth pass.

A new branch committee was born.

However, there is one thing that is different from what you originally heard.

The branch secretary is Cai Yuesong, and the deputy branch secretary is not Chen Tianchun, but Chen Meiliang.

It turned out that there was a plan in the village.

If Chen Tianchun was elected in the first round, then he would be the deputy party secretary, but he was elected in the second round of by-election, so it would not be convincing enough for him to be the deputy party secretary.

In this way, the quiet Chen Meiliang surpassed the high-profile Chen Tianchun.

Chen Tianchun's face turned dark on the spot. If he wasn't in the venue, he might have fainted from anger.

It's time for lunch.

The village had already made preparations and asked the restaurant in the village to deliver meals.

Including the representatives of the villagers, a total of seven tables were set up.

After lunch, Chen Yang went to play chess with Principal Zhang.

Principal Zhang has retired, but the small shop of his old couple is still open at the gate of the village.

Two people play chess, Chuhe Hanjie, don't talk about routines, slash and kill.

Only Cai Guoping was in the audience.

Cai Guoping also intended to please Chen Yang, and Hua Ziyan handed over three points one after another.

Chen Yang said with a smile: "Cai Guoping, don't worry, even if you don't pass the cigarette, I will support you."
