The election was held in the meeting room of the village department. In order to prevent accidents, Wang Dakui specially arranged for Wang Liansheng to transfer a few loyal militias to guard outside the village department, so that ordinary villagers would not be allowed to watch. Cao Zhiyong entered the conference room accompanied by Wang Dakui and sat down directly on the rostrum. Cao Zhiyong glanced at the party members sitting below the stage with majestic eyes. Rongshu Village is located in a remote place, poor and backward, and the people cannot eat enough, so there are no intention to apply for joining the party, so there are not many party members. In order to make up for the number, Wang Dakui forced several of his relatives to become party members. As candidates, Duan Kefan naturally came. In addition to Wang Dakui's four big legs, there are four other people who are also his relatives according to Wang Dakui's introduction just now. No matter how many of them look, Wang Dakui has an absolute advantage!

Duan Kefan sat upright in the audience, his eyes calm. When he saw Cao Zhiyong's majestic gaze swept over, he did not show any timidity. This made Cao Zhiyong feel even more unhappy. He thought you, kid, really think that you would be arrogant when you hugged County Mayor Dai's thigh? The county magnitude is worse than to take charge. In this acre of three-point land in Dazhang Town, I, Cao Zhiyong, have the final say! I will lose the election later. I see if you are still arrogant?!

Seeing Duan Kefan's calm appearance at the moment, Cao Zhiyong was a little annoyed inexplicably. He turned to Wang Dakui beside him and said, "Are you all here? Can you start?"

"We're all here, we can start..." Wang Dakui nodded quickly.

Before he finished speaking, someone shouted at the door: "We are also party members. We are here to attend the party members' meeting. Let us in!" Wang Dakui stood up in surprise and saw Wang Caihou and two old men of similar age pushing away the militia guarding outside and strode in!

Wang Caihou is the village party secretary of Rongshu Village, and of course he is also a party member. The two old men who are about the same age as him were the branch members of his village branch. However, after the change of leadership, they stopped serving as branch members. Now they are ordinary party members. Wang Caihou and the others are all old and withdraw from the village decision-making circle after the change of leadership and have no sense of existence. After Wang Dakui served as the village party secretary, he never held a party member meeting. He had the final say in everything. At most, he discussed with his four big legs and asked them to come up with ideas. So no wonder Wang Dakui forgot Wang Caihou and the others.

However, Wang Dakui was shocked and soon calmed down again. Even if Wang Caihou and the other three supported Duan Kefan, and Duan Kefan himself had only four votes, he still had an absolute advantage.

When Cao Zhiyong saw Wang Caihou and the other two come in, he glared at Wang Dakui fiercely. Wang Dakui quickly introduced the identities of Wang Caihou and the other two in his ear, and lowered his voice: "Secretary Cao, except for the three of them and Duan Kefan, the others are all mine. Don't worry, there is no problem!"

Cao Zhiyong just now saw Duan Kefan's look as if he was old and god-like. Now he felt relieved after listening to Wang Dakui's introduction. It turned out that Duan Kefan relied on this place, but so what? He still couldn't change the end of losing the election. So he waved his hand and pressed Wang Caihou and the other two, and said with a slight smile: "Since you are a party member, then sit down and have a meeting..."

After Wang Caihou and the other two sat down, Cao Zhiyong coughed again and pretended to be majestic and said: "Before the election, I will say a few words on behalf of the Party Committee of Dazhang Town. The village party branch is the most grassroots party organization of our party. The superiors have always attached great importance to the grassroots party building work in rural areas. This election of the village party secretary in Rongshu Village is a major event in the political life of the vast number of farmers in Rongshu Village. It is related to the overall development of Rongshu Village. Secretary Peng of the county party committee is also very concerned about this election and instructed me to resolutely follow the superiors' guards.

According to the relevant regulations and procedures for the election of village party secretary, we will implement the requirements of the superior party organization, strengthen the democratic political construction of Rongshu Village, consolidate the party's ruling foundation, promote the rapid, healthy, coordinated and sustainable development of Rongshu Village, and build a new socialist countryside! I believe that all the party members here are very enlightened and will be able to fully understand the spirit of the superior party committee, high policy levels, obey the command of the superior party organization, and select prestigious people among grassroots party members to be the heads of Rongshu Village!…”

Although Cao Zhiyong said something cliché, he actually implied that the party members were the ones he liked, and even made the sign of the county party secretary Peng Demin as a deterrent.

Next is the secret voting process. The so-called secret voting refers to the way in which the elector or voter does not have to sign his own name on the ballot or vote, and he himself puts the ballot or vote into the ballot box. This is also to prevent the candidate from retaliating against the party members who did not vote for him after being elected.

The town government organization officer who came with Cao Zhiyong sent the ballots to everyone. Because it was a differential election, Duan Kefan and Wang Dakui's names had been printed on the ballots. Everyone just had to check the names of the candidates they liked, so everyone quickly completed it and cast the ballots into the ballot box.

Finally, there is the public vote-singing session. The vote-singing is very simple. One person sings the votes, one person monitors the votes, and then one person draws the regular characters under the names of the two candidates written on the blackboard. Including Wang Dakui and Duan Kefan, there are only thirteen party members in the Rongshu Village Party Branch, so the vote-singing was completed quickly. As soon as the result came out, Cao Zhiyong and Wang Dakui's faces changed. Eight to five, Duan Kefan led by three votes!

Wang Dakui's head banged, and his first reaction was: How is it possible?! Duan Kefan and Wang Caihou had three talents and four votes, which means that at least four people betrayed him and voted for Duan Kefan! The key is that this time it was a secret vote. Even if Wang Dakui wanted to break his head, he couldn't imagine which four people betrayed him!

"No! There is a problem with the vote! I ask for a re-election!..." Wang Dakui jumped up suddenly, pointing his finger at the few people who had never been able to betray him, and shouted: "Which bastards betrayed me! Wang Fugui! Is it you?! Or you, Wang Fusheng!..."

"Enough!" Cao Zhiyong slapped the table with a dark face, pointed at Wang Dakui and shouted angrily: "Do you think this is a child playing house? If you say you want to re-election, you will re-election?! Today's entire election process was conducted under the witness and supervision of all the party members of the Rongshu Village Branch. What's the problem?! Don't be embarrassed here!..." After saying that, he left angrily!
Chapter completed!
