"Is that it?" Wang Bingbing asked.
"I think so. After they finish their work, we can just hold the meeting and count the votes." Lin Tian asked.
"Never mind all that. We will be notified when the time comes. Let's eat first. Is the meal ready?" Lin Tian continued.
"Okay, I'll go serve it." Zhong Yurong said and went into the kitchen.
"I'll go too." Wang Bingbing followed.
After a while, the three of them were sitting in the living room eating.
"Brother-in-law, the food in your family recently..." Zhong Yurong seemed to be hesitant to speak. She felt that Lin Tian's family lived too well. Whose family eats refined rice and noodles every day, and has meat for every meal?
Hearing her say this, Wang Bingbing didn't know how to answer. These matters at home were not her responsibility. She had asked Lin Tian twice before, but was fooled by Lin Tian both times.
"It's okay, just eat without worry. I'm in charge of all the food supplies in the capital. These are all from legitimate sources, so just eat with peace of mind." Lin Tian saw Zhong Yurong's confusion and explained to her with a smile.
Lin Tianxin said, when will people become so hungry that they become officials? What you see are all fake. Even if they exist, they are rare.
A salesperson like Xu Li could make Yan Jiecheng fat, let alone herself.
After hearing this, Zhong Yurong nodded silently, then lowered her head and continued eating.
"Just stay here with peace of mind. Your brother-in-law earns a lot, so it doesn't matter if there are more people to feed. If you don't believe me, ask Bingbing." Lin Tian comforted Zhong Yurong with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhong Yurong raised her head and looked at Wang Bingbing.
Wang Bingbing nodded vigorously towards Zhong Yurong. In fact, Wang Bingbing knew nothing. She didn't worry about these things at all. Because of her family conditions, Wang Bingbing had never had trouble with food.
"Yeah." Zhong Yurong felt a little relieved when she saw that Wang Bingbing also agreed with Lin Tian's statement.
After the three of them finished their meal, they took a walk in the backyard, but after walking for a while no one came to notify them of the meeting.
"You two stay here while I go see what's going on over there?" Lin Tian said to Wang Bingbing and Zhong Yurong.
The two women nodded at the same time.
Lin Tian went to the front at this time, but he didn't know that the front yard was already in chaos.
Originally, the first people to arrive at the street were from Lin Tian's backyard, and then they came out from Lin Tian's house and the deaf old lady's house.
Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong insisted on accompanying the staff of the street office, saying that they were helping, but in fact they just wanted to canvass votes for themselves.
However, their little trick could not be hidden from the people on the street. As soon as they approached, they were driven aside by the staff and were not allowed to join in the fun.
When one plan failed, the two of them came up with another.
Get ahead of the street staff and go door to door to notify and canvass votes for yourself.
The people on the street can't do anything about this kind of thing, so they just let it go.
"Liu Haizhong, you are quite old. Why do you have to be the manager? It's because you don't do your job well that the street has to re-elect." Xu Damao mocked Liu Haizhong.
"Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? You haven't even fully grown your hair yet and you already think you're an elder. You even want to be the boss? You're dreaming." Liu Haizhong was quite disrespectful to Xu Damao.
The two of them started to curse each other.
The quarrel spread from the middle yard to the front yard, and finally they were pulled out by Director Wang of the street office at the gate of the compound and reprimanded. Only then did they calm down.
The voting was handled by the street office and it was quite fast and was completed quickly.
Staff A: "It's all done now. Leave it here in the middle courtyard. Let's go and notify them to come over."
Staff member B: "Okay, I'll go to the front yard to notify the director and others, you can go from the back yard."
Person A also nodded in agreement, and then the two of them placed the ballot box in the middle courtyard.
But what the two of them didn't see was that there was a sneaky person spying on them.
When the two of them went to the back yard to notify people, this person ran out stealthily and picked up the ballot box directly.
He ran to the wall of the courtyard and threw the ballot box out of the yard.
After finishing, he glanced around again and found that no one was paying attention, so he pretended nothing happened and went back to the house.
“I don’t know who will be elected as the manager.”
"Who knows?"
"Who did you vote for?"
"I...you tell me who you voted for first."
"If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Just as people were arriving at the central courtyard one after another, no one noticed that a figure had slipped out of the courtyard.
What was he doing outside? This man picked up the ballot box that he had just thrown outside the yard, ran to the toilet, and threw it directly into the toilet.
As luck would have it, there was no one in the bathroom, so no one saw it.
Then he quickly ran back to the compound. When he reached the gate, he took a few deep breaths and then pretended nothing had happened and got back into the crowd.
At this time, the two street staff members had already notified the people in the compound to come to the meeting and returned to the middle courtyard.
"Where is the box?" asked Staff A.
Staff member B was also a little confused. He didn't find it when he came back just now. He thought it was taken away and put away by Staff member A.
A was a little panicked, so he went out for a walk, and when he came back, the box was gone.
"Look for it quickly."
As a result, the two street workers walked around the entire courtyard but found no trace of the box.
"Just ask."
"Has anyone seen the box here?"
"Do you see the box sitting here?"
"And you?"
"Did you see that?"
The two shouted loudly a few times but no one responded, so they went to ask each person one by one.
"What's going on?" Director Wang from the Street Office also noticed something was wrong and called the two over to ask.
"The voting box is missing." A said a little dazed.
Person B lowered his head and said nothing.
"Where did you put them?" Director Wang asked.
The two pointed to where they had placed the box.
Director Wang felt somewhat helpless, and could only stand in front of the crowd and ask loudly to help.
But the result is still the same, no one has seen it after asking for a long time.
"It must have been stolen." Director Wang asked around but received no response.
"What should we do then?" asked Staff A.
Director Wang waved his hand, signaling him not to speak.
Director Wang began to speak loudly to the crowd: "I don't know who stole the ballot box for our election of the steward today, and they want to destroy the unity of our compound."
"I hope you can take it out now, and I will forgive you for what happened. But if I find out, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying this, Director Wang looked at the crowd and found no reaction.
"Good, very good." Director Wang was so angry.
"Voting will continue tomorrow. I will be there in person to watch and see if anyone is trying to sabotage it." After saying this, Director Wang left the compound with the staff of the street office.
