Chapter 085 Chapter 85 Voting
An Qing looked at Tang Ming with a strange look in her eyes. She had never seen anyone who was so eager to seek trouble.
"Okay." She was determined to get back at her wit's end, so Mu Chen was actually just a side job. Her main target was Tang Ming, so it didn't matter whether Mu Chen went or not.
Of course, the main purpose is to test the extent of her current strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a very rhythmic knock on the door.
An Qing looked over in surprise and saw Tang Ming had already stood up and opened the door.
The door opened, and it was Wei Xunyi standing outside. He smiled at Tang Ming who opened the door and said, "I have something to talk to An Qing about."
Tang Ming nodded, but did not let Wei Xunyi in directly. He turned to An Qing and said, "Secretary Wei is here."
An Qing nodded: "Let him in."
Mu Chen was very tactful and immediately cleared away all the dishes on the table, wiped the table clean, and then went to wash the dishes.
Although the room had been cleaned up, the distinctive aroma of stir-fried pork with ghost peppers still lingered. Without looking around, Wei Xunyi walked over to An Qing and handed her a stack of documents. "The leader asked me to talk to you about the current situation at the base. I think it's necessary to give you a list of the base's personnel first."
He picked up the top sheet of information and said, "You can take your time looking through the rest later. These are the only people participating in tomorrow's meeting. Let me explain this to you first."
An Qing became serious and inevitably felt a little nervous. She also knew that it would be very difficult for the big boss to suddenly push her to a higher position. She only dared to try and dream of that position because of the system she had.
But in fact, she was completely in the dark and had no idea what to do after she really sat in that position.
She was also worried that she might be rejected unanimously in tomorrow's meeting and would never be able to take the position of the base leader.
But after all, you still have to give it a try.
An Qing closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her hands clenched unconsciously.
She nodded at Wei Xunyi and moved the thick stack of information in front of her away.
Tang Ming came over and collected the documents on the table.
Wei Xunyi sat next to An Qing.
"Since the previous deputy leader was detained, the deputy leader position is temporarily vacant, so the people participating in tomorrow's meeting are Jiang Fusheng, the director of the institute."
"Jiang Fusheng was raised by the former dean. He inherited his ambition and is dedicated to research for the entire base. So, as long as he knows that the food made with the system's cookware can not only improve human physical fitness but also enhance the body's detoxification system, he will definitely support you. I think the leader should have contacted him privately, so tomorrow he will follow the leader's advice and support you."
An Qing was not unfamiliar with the name Jiang Fusheng, but she was stunned after seeing the portrait attached to the information. In her impression, the director of a research institute should be an energetic old man with white hair and beard, but she didn't expect that Jiang Fusheng was so young.
"Then there's Xiao Xiao, the weapons storage manager. She used to be the captain of a field team and was quite capable, but after being injured multiple times, her strength declined significantly. Later, because of her good statistical management skills, she was appointed the weapons storage manager, responsible for managing all weapons storage facilities across the base. Xiao Xiao is 38 years old this year. Apart from the weapons storage facility she's in charge of, she basically doesn't care about anything else. She always follows the crowd in every meeting. So, if the majority of people support you tomorrow, she'll support you, and if the majority of people oppose you, she'll oppose you."
An Qing: "..."
Is this such a joke? An Qing's heart suddenly became complicated, and she didn't know what to say.
"The hospital's director, Qian Guangming, is passionate about medicine. Apart from his willingness to spend time managing the hospital, he's quite indifferent to everything else. He's already in his fifties, and his health is failing. He's also become somewhat negligent in the management of the hospital. I estimate he'll hand over the directorship in the next year or two. Director Qian has a good relationship with the senior leadership, and they often share similar views. Over the years, he has generally fully supported the senior leadership's decisions. The senior leadership will also communicate with Director Qian in advance about this..."
Then there is the chief instructor of the special team. Although he is an instructor, he is also the superior of the entire special team. Generally, they are dispatched by the chief instructor.
There is also a chief instructor of the outbound team, who also has the right to mobilize all outbound teams.
Then there is the Minister of Security.
…………
An Qing listened very carefully at first, and then she found that the senior leaders of the base either firmly followed the footsteps of the big leader, or only cared about their own little piece of land and ignored everything else, and then followed the crowd. Then there were those who slowly followed the footsteps of the former deputy leader, and after the deputy leader fell, they either retreated into hiding or were dismissed and replaced.
She couldn't help but look at Wei Xunyi, "So, I don't need to prepare anything? The boss has already arranged everything?"
Wei Xunyi paused, nodded, and said, "That's indeed the case. The leader asked me to explain the situation to you first because he was afraid that you would be too nervous and look down upon by others."
An Qing: "..."
What she thought were many difficulties were actually just her thoughts.
In fact, the big boss had already cut down and cleared away all the thorns on her way to the top. All she had to do was lift her foot, step forward, and sit down.
An Qing took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand. Thank you. Also, Secretary Wei, please help me thank the leader."
Wei Xunyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're welcome. We're helping you for the sake of the entire base."
At this point, he looked at An Qing seriously and said, "An Qing, I hope that when you take that position in the future, no matter what arrangements you make, you will be more considerate of everyone in the base."
What he actually wanted to say was that he hoped she would keep her original intention unchanged, because as long as she did not change, with her current style and personality, she would not do anything harmful to the base.
But how can a person remain unchanged?
So he could only take a step back and hope that she would consider everyone in the base more in the future.
An Qing looked at Wei Xunyi's serious expression and her heart tightened a little. She wanted to take the position of the base leader in order to protect herself and not be controlled by others. As for other things, she really didn't think too much about it.
But when she saw Wei Xunyi's current attitude, she realized belatedly that with great power comes great responsibility.
Becoming the head of the base would indeed mean that she would no longer be controlled by others, but it also put shackles on her, because everyone in the base became a task she needed to take on.
For a moment, An Qing was a little confused.
She actually began to doubt whether this step she took was right or wrong.
How can she, an ordinary person, be responsible for the entire base?
An Qing remained silent for a long time, her expression dazed, even with a hint of timidity about to retreat. Wei Xunyi saw it clearly and couldn't help but sigh, "Don't be afraid, I will help you, and so will the big boss."
An Qing came back to her senses and nodded: "Yeah."
The slight timidity that had just risen in her heart disappeared. It was not Wei Xunyi's words that gave her confidence, but if she retreated because she was afraid of the burden that would fall on her shoulders in the future, then she would have to live at the mercy of others, and how she lived would depend entirely on the attitude of those in power towards her.
Thinking about that kind of day, An Qing's heart became firm.
After Wei Xunyi left, An Qing no longer had the heart to practice with Tang Ming, so she went back to her room early to rest.
The next day, Wei Xunyi came early in the morning and took An Qing, Tang Ming and Muchen to the central building for a meeting.
Tang Ming and Muchen were not allowed to enter the meeting room and could only wait outside.
An Qing, who already had a rough idea in her mind, was still a little nervous when she walked into the conference room and saw so many people. Fortunately, she had the familiar Wei Xunyi by her side. Then she sat next to the familiar leader, and the nervousness quietly faded away.
The meeting lasted less than an hour, and the voting results were exactly the same as Wei Xunyi's analysis to An Qing.
In the end, An Qing successfully became the successor to the leader with more than half of the votes.
At the end of the meeting, the senior leader in a wheelchair knocked on the table, attracting everyone's attention.
He wore a smile on his face, but his voice was hoarse and somewhat helpless as he said, "My health is getting worse and worse, and my energy is very low. Since An Qing has passed the vote, there is no need to wait. From now on, An Qing will take my place."
This decision shocked many people, including An Qing herself. She never expected that the big boss would give up his position to her.
An Qing was a little confused, but she still subconsciously paid attention to the expressions of the people around her.
People like Jiang Fusheng, director of the research institute, and Qian Guangming, director of the hospital, who have good relationships with the top leaders and always support their decisions, had obviously been notified in advance, so there was no surprise at all.
And Wei Xunyi was obviously well prepared, so there was no strange look on his face.
"Big boss, isn't this too fast?"
"Yeah, this is too sudden. Even if she passes the vote, she should stay with you and study for a while longer."
"That's right, it would be too hasty to give up your position now."
The entire conference room was filled with discussion and noise, with each voice getting louder than the last, expressing their disagreement.
The big boss coughed twice, his expression becoming increasingly tired. "It's settled. Don't worry, while I still have breath, I will teach her more during this period. In addition, Wei Xunyi will assist An Qing and make her competent as soon as possible."
After a few words, the leader's face became more and more ugly, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
Wei Xunyi hurried to the door of the conference room and pushed it open. The doctors who had been waiting outside rushed in, put the leader on a ventilator, and then replaced the wheelchair with a stretcher and hurriedly pushed the leader away.
An Qing was a little stunned and stood up quickly, "What happened to the big boss?"
Wei Xunyi grabbed An Qing's hand: "It's okay, don't worry."
He pushed An Qing to sit down again. An Qing felt confused. She didn't know whether the leader's health condition was really that bad or he was deliberately putting on a show in front of everyone.
Obviously, everyone in the conference room looked unhappy and was very worried about the current condition of the leader.
Wei Xunyi: "Then, from now on, An Qing will be the new leader of our base."
"What new leader? The leader is in critical condition, and you're still talking about this at this time, Wei Xunyi, what are your intentions?"
Wei Xunyi smiled and said, "Is this the decision of the former leader, or do you want to argue with him now?"
The person who spoke had an ugly expression on his face. What could he argue about now?
Jiang Fusheng, who was standing next to him, looked at An Qing and said, "Big leader, I wonder how the former leader is doing now. Can we go over and see him now?"
No matter how dumb An Qing was, she knew that Jiang Fusheng was trying to pass on the message to her again, and she also knew that this was to confirm her current status as a big leader.
So, An Qing nodded, and after scanning the different expressions on everyone's faces, she said, "Well, today's meeting is over. I also want to go see my former leader. You can come with me."
After saying that, when An Qing stood up and prepared to leave, as expected, Jiang Fusheng, Qian Guangming and the others all stood up and followed An Qing out of the meeting room.
Those who were still standing there looked at each other, some were still hesitant, while others slowly stood up and quickly followed.
Seeing that more and more people were catching up, the last person left had no choice but to keep up.
An Qing brought a group of people to the hospital, but did not see the former leader Song Minguo. The hospital director Qian Guangming called someone over to inquire about the situation and walked to An Qing after a while.
"Big leader, the former leader just had cardiac arrest and is being resuscitated."
An Qing widened her eyes. No wonder the leader announced that she would succeed him right after the vote. It turned out that her body could no longer support her.
If she had not gone to see the big boss before, perhaps Wei Xunyi would have succeeded to the throne now.
An Qing couldn't help but glance at Wei Xunyi who was standing next to her. There was no resentment in his expression, only genuine concern for Song Minguo.
