"Can those who have finished voting sit here and watch?" Jiang Qingwan asked sincerely while Tang Guo was doing her work.
“Of course. This is an open election. You can stay here for two days and two nights, until the election is over,” Tang Guo replied readily, pulling out a chair from under the conference table as she spoke.
"Miss Jiang Qingwan, please have a seat." Tang Guo looked at Jiang Qingwan with eager eyes.
She couldn't wait to spend more time with Jiang Qingwan, and this request was exactly what she wanted.
Jiang Qingwan didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair that Tang Guo had pulled out. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure to serve you," Tang Guo said, smoothing a stray hair from her forehead, her eyes sparkling with a subtle light.
"Ningyue, you can go back first. I'll be fine here," Jiang Qingwan said, pointing to the exit of the conference room.
"No need. I don't have any missions today, I'll be wherever you are. Besides, I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you. Otherwise, you won't take me on your next mission, and I'll have to wait a long time again," Gu Ningyue complained incessantly, pulling out the chair next to Jiang Qingwan and sitting down.
Light footsteps came from outside the door; the footsteps were very soft, and the person who came was probably a girl.
Sure enough, it was not only a girl, but also an old acquaintance.
Xia Mei walked leisurely from the lobby into the voting hall.
As soon as she entered, she greeted Tang Guo familiarly, her eyes lingering on Jiang Qingwan before quickly looking away, as if Tang Guo were the only person in the room.
"Hello, Tang Guo. I want to vote for Brother Kang Xiyang," Xia Mei said, her voice rising in a uniquely coquettish tone.
"I knew you'd vote for Kang Xiyang. It's quite a coincidence, you all support Kang Xiyang," Tang Guo said casually after finishing the voting.
Xia Mei turned her gaze to Jiang Qingwan again, raising her chin slightly. "You're smart enough to know your place. My brother Kang Xiyang is the absolute chosen leader."
Jiang Qingwan remained silent, took out an ear pick from her spatial storage, and calmly began to remove non-existent earwax.
After making the feint, he turned to Gu Ningyue, who was playing with the metal ball again, and asked, "Is anyone talking?"
"No, it's probably just some cat or dog barking outside the window," Gu Ningyue said, then pretended to look out the window.
The sky outside the window was clear and bright, with plenty of sunlight, making even the dust and lint clearly visible.
Xia Mei clenched her teeth, suppressing all her anger: she couldn't let a moment of verbal sparring cause trouble for her brother Kang Xiyang.
Once Kangxi Yang becomes the leader of the base, and she becomes the leader's wife, you two will have a good time.
Xia Mei forced a smile and said softly, "What I mean is, thank you so much for casting your valuable vote for Major General Kang Xiyang. You all have excellent judgment and will not regret your decision."
Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, while Jiang Qingwan gave a very perfunctory reply: "Oh."
The air was deathly silent, and awkwardness brewed and fermented in the stillness.
Xia Mei stomped her foot angrily, shook the hem of her clothes, and turned to leave in a huff.
"You're here really early," a man said as he entered the polling room.
Jiang Qingwan looked at the person who had come in, but didn't recognize him, so she continued to lower her head and pick at her fingers.
Gu Ningyue recognized him; she had encountered him during a mission. He was Zhang Le, a fourth-tier water-type ability user in a squad.
We've only met once, but we're not close.
Gu Ningyue nodded slightly and said politely, "It's alright. I didn't have anything to do today, so I came to join in the fun and vote."
"You've all finished voting?" Zhang Le leaned closer to the voting screen, looking at their voting results.
Zhang Le asked in surprise, "Why did you all vote for Kangxi Yang? This..."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qingwan looked up, her eyes slightly narrowed as she stared at Zhang Le's flat back of the head.
Zhang Le suddenly felt a chill settle over him.
