"Deputy Mayor Li, what's the result? Announce it quickly! We've been waiting all morning, everyone's hungry and waiting to go eat," Zheng Qian said casually from the middle seat.
They didn't even notice that the atmosphere in the meeting room was a bit off.
When Zhang Xingguo was tallying the voting results, he almost slammed his fist on the table and stormed out. He had lost control of the meeting at the town party committee meeting last time when they were selecting the village party secretary and acting village director of Meilin Village.
This time it's happening again.
A setback at a town party committee meeting is understandable; after all, even gods can make mistakes, and errors or carelessness can be explained away. But this setback followed by another setback at a town party committee meeting was something else entirely.
Everyone is starting to doubt whether he can still control the town party committee meetings.
Having lost control of the town's Party committee meetings, is he still the top leader?
Having served as a section chief for many years, he still possessed some political acumen and knew that he couldn't just storm off at this point. Otherwise, things would become unmanageable, and he would become a laughingstock. So he restrained himself.
But at this moment, Zhang Xingguo's expression was predictable; he seemed to be feeling dizzy.
Hou Peng is in a slightly better position. Although his face is also extremely pale, making one think someone in his family has died, at least he wasn't in charge of the Zhengda Company matter; it was Zhang Xingguo's responsibility. He was just cooperating, and he has fulfilled his obligations.
What troubled him was that Qi Weihua had supported Li Xiuyuan, and Li Xiuyuan now had four votes at the town party committee meeting. What would happen next? With an executive deputy mayor holding four votes, what would become of him, the mayor?
The thought of this made him extremely panicked.
Li Xiuyuan smiled at the still arrogant Zheng Qian and said, "President Zheng, don't worry. We've already made the restaurant arrangements. We'll announce the results now, and then everyone can go eat."
Li Xiuyuan picked up the selection results on the table and announced: "The second phase of the Xin Nong Demonstration Village project in Meilin Village, Zhongxin Town, has been put out to public tender. After evaluation by the bid evaluation committee, the winning company is Huangyuan County Guangda Construction Co., Ltd."
Clap clap clap.
Applause erupted.
"Thank you..." Zheng Qian subconsciously stood up, about to express his gratitude with a smug look on his face, but halfway up, the smile on Zheng Qian's face froze.
The applause from Jinbao and the other two at the scene also subsided, and they looked at Zheng Qian and Chen Guangda with great surprise.
Everyone thought Zheng Qian would win the bid this time, but it turned out to be Chen Guangda from Guangda Construction.
Chen Guangda was also stunned. He hadn't even realized that he had won the bid. Was he hallucinating?
But at that moment, Li Xiuyuan put down the documents in his hand with a smile, started clapping, and said, "Congratulations to Guangda Construction Company, congratulations to General Manager Chen."
As Li Xiuyuan clapped, the other town party committee members followed suit. Hou Peng and Kang Yong looked disgusted, as if they had swallowed a fly's dropping, but they had no choice but to force themselves to applaud.
Zhang Xingguo remained motionless, no longer even bothering to pretend, his gaze frequently drifting towards Ma Tao beside him, his eyes filled with cold light.
Chen Guangda finally realized what was happening and stood up excitedly: "Thank you, Mayor Li, thank you, leaders, thank you all for your trust in our Guangda Construction Company..."
