Scholars in the courtyard

"Wang Guodong."

"Yang Xiaotao."

…

As the propaganda director read the tickets, the characters written in chalk on the wooden board continued to lengthen.

Everyone's hearts were also touched.

Wang Guodong and Sun Guo looked nervous and stared at the board.

In contrast, Yang Xiaotao relaxed, after all, he was just here to make up the numbers.

However, after only a while, Yang Xiaotao felt that something was wrong.

Why are there so many orthographic characters after my name?

what's the situation?

Aren't you at the bottom of the pile?

Yang Xiaotao moved his body and felt a little hot under his buttocks.

After listening carefully for a while, I realized something was wrong.

It seems that every picture, whether it is Sun Guo or Wang Guodong, will be followed by Yang Xiaotao.

"What is this? Could it be a mistake?"

"Both sides don't want the other side to win, and they have to choose between two, and then, I become the mandatory choice?"

Yang Xiaotao came up with a dumbfounding answer in his mind.

At the same time, he turned his head to look at Wang Guodong and Sun Guo, both of whom had equally serious expressions.

At this moment, the characters behind the two of them were either missing a horizontal line or a vertical line. The situation in the battle was tense.

After waiting for ten minutes, after the last ballot was read out, everyone looked at the counting board with surprise in their hearts.

"Sun Guo, 55 votes."

"Guo Guodong, 61 votes."

"Yang Xiaotao, 86 votes."

On the blackboard, the final vote count was written in front of the name by the staff, making it clear at a glance.

Yang Xiaotao looked calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with ripples and excitement.

Unexpectedly, I was the one who won in the end.

What's more, he didn't expect that there would be so many people present supporting him.

Suddenly, a warmth arose in my heart.

Before the meeting, or before he knew about the selection, Yang Xiaotao had never thought about being the deputy director.

My age, experience and even qualifications are all flaws.

After all, for a young man under the age of 24 to be the deputy director of a large factory with 10,000 people, it would be inappropriate for anyone to hear this.

But this is the fact. Among the votes in front of him, Yang Xiaotao not only received more than half, but also far exceeded the remaining two.

This also made Yang Xiaotao have no choice but to believe it.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao calmed down, looked at the people on the rostrum, and remembered the scene when he met Yang Youning and Chen Gong in the morning. Now that he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there were already signs.

He turned his head slightly and looked at Wang Guodong aside.

There was no change in the other party's face. Compared to Sun Guo, he was still calm.

After all, if he had to choose two out of three, he would be considered the chosen one.

Although he didn't get the most votes, he was still selected.

Yang Xiaotao looked over, and Wang Guodong turned his head. The two looked at each other, and then turned back.

I'm so envious of this guy's luck. He became the deputy director of the factory out of nowhere.

As for Sun Guo on the other side, his expression was not very good.

Before the vote, he felt that this was a contest between him and Wang Guodong, and did not take Yang Xiaotao to heart because of his age.

In ten or twenty years, when Chen Gong retires or Yang Youning retires, Yang Xiaotao will definitely be the proper deputy director. At that time, he has qualifications and experience, and no one can tell.

But now.

Sun Guo looked at the wooden board, and his straight body suddenly became half shorter.

Perhaps, he thought wrong from the beginning.

In the face of real talent, age and qualifications are nothing.

When I think about what has happened in these years, people are making progress and growing.

As for him, accidents keep happening, accidents keep happening, and the people under his command are not up to par, how can he be convinced?

Several figures quickly flashed through Sun Guo's mind. Those people were all disasters.

"Old Wang, congratulations!"

Sun Guo adjusted his mentality and showed a congratulatory smile to Wang Guodong.

"I, alas! Thank you, Old Sun!"

Wang Guodong looked at Sun Guo and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Xiao Tao, no, Director Yang, haha. Our factory will have two Director Yangs in the future."

Huang Degong was smiling at the side. Seeing Yang Xiaotao still sitting upright and thinking about something, he reached out and patted his shoulder. Yang Xiaotao looked back at the people around him and smiled.

"Let's just distinguish between Lao Yang and Xiao Yang."

Liu Wei suggested from the side, and several people agreed.

"Director Xiao Yang, remember to treat me tonight."

"Yes, I have to treat you tonight."

Several people were talking, and Yang Xiaotao was polite.

The discussion behind him was not quiet either.

Especially Liu Daming, who could only applaud while sitting in the crowd.

On the rostrum, Secretary Liu and others looked at each other, both satisfied and confused about the result.

In the plan, Yang Xiaotao would have a high chance of being selected, but this was by no means the case. He was far ahead.

Especially for Yang Youning, the results in front of him were somewhat different from what he expected.

"Lao Yang, are you sure?"

Liu Huaimin came over and asked in a low voice, he didn't expect Yang Xiaotao's votes to be so high.

So he suspected that there was some secret operation.

Yang Youning quickly shook his head, "No! Absolutely not."

"I'm also very surprised. Is this guy still so popular?"

After hearing this, Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao off the field, wondering what he was thinking.

When the results came out, Chen Gong stood in front of the podium and announced the results to everyone.

"Dear leaders and comrades!"

The surrounding area became quiet, and everyone looked towards the rostrum.

"There were a total of 115 people attending the meeting. Excluding 3 candidates, 11 ballots were invalidated. There were 101 valid ballots on site. Three of them had more than half of the votes, which complied with the election procedures."

"Dear leaders and fellow workers, the results of this election are valid."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, the venue immediately heard a loud noise.

Yang Xiaotao and the other three applauded equally. Now that it has become a fact, no matter whether they are surprised or unwilling, they cannot lose their status at this time.

The applause fell, Chen Gong returned to his original position, and Director Liu stood up.

"I declare!"

Everyone below opened their eyes wide and waited quietly for the result.

"The results of this election are valid."

"According to the decision of the superior leadership and the decision of the leadership of the steel rolling mill, the candidates, Comrade Yang Xiaotao and Comrade Wang Guodong, were successfully elected as deputy directors of the steel rolling mill."

bang bang bang

As the applause rang out, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong stood up together, walked to the rostrum, shook hands with several people one by one, and then bowed and thanked everyone behind them.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao understood that if God doesn't take what he wants, he will suffer the consequences.

Besides, the leader’s face is very important.

Besides, he's just a deputy director.

Yang Xiaotao's face was calm and full of confidence.

Wang Guodong also smiled.

"Next, let Comrade Yang Xiaotao speak!"

Yang Youning took the lead in applauding, and there was warm applause in the venue.

"Dear leaders and comrades."

"First of all, I would like to thank the leaders for giving me this opportunity. Secondly, I would like to thank everyone for their trust and support in me. Finally, I would like to thank the country, the factory, and..."

"This position is not only an honor for me, but also a pressure, a..."

Soon, Yang Xiaotao's voice kept ringing in the auditorium, and applause kept ringing. Wang Guodong, who was waiting to speak, touched the seam of his trousers and felt uneasy.

This guy said it so well, what should he say if he waits for himself?

Outside the conference room, Yu Haitang covered her mouth and walked out in disbelief, and then a group of people gathered around to inquire about the news inside.

At this moment, Yu Haitang was still immersed in the impact of Yang Xiaotao becoming the deputy director.

The regret, jealousy, and resentment that were originally buried deep in my heart were brought out again at this moment. It felt like I had lost five million, and it was painful as hell.

After a long time, Yu Haitang held her chest and spoke out what was inside.

Afterwards, a group of people stared with wide eyes and disbelief on their faces.

Yang Xiaotao became deputy factory director?

How big is this, this, this...

Hooray.

Someone ran away to spread the explosive news.

In the office, Lou Xiao'e had just sorted the documents neatly and placed them on Yang Xiaotao's desk, waiting to come back for review.

As soon as he sat down, he heard footsteps running outside, and then someone came in.

"Xiao'e! Xiao'e!"

"Did you hear that?"

Lou Xiao'e looked around and saw that he was from the R\u0026D department.

Seeing the man panting and running, Lou Xiaoe quickly got up and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

There was surprise on the man's face. Although he did not become the deputy director of the factory, it was an honor for his direct superior to be promoted.

What's more, Yang Xiaotao has a good reputation in the Technology R\u0026D Department and sometimes treats everyone to dinner. Of course, the higher the status of such a leader, the better.

"Section Chief, the Section Chief has become the deputy director of the factory!"

"What?"

"I said, section chief, Yang Xiaotao, has become the deputy director of our steel rolling mill!"

"real?"

"Really, this meeting is an election, and it's still the first place."

The visitor spoke affirmatively, and at this time, the discussion in the corridor outside also came. Lou Xiaoe ran two steps to the door. Listening to the discussion, a joyful look suddenly appeared on her face.

A rising tide lifted all boats, and Yang Xiaotao became the deputy director of the factory. Not to mention safety, at least it was better than the current situation.

"I'll tell Yulan!"

Lou Xiao'e said as she walked out, she met Yu Haitang who was in a state of despair. When they met, they looked at each other and left.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yu Haitang's lost look with disdain.

This woman is purely sentimental and very shameless.

What should she regret? If she really wanted to regret it, it would not be her turn.

At least, he has to be ranked behind himself.

When Lou Xiao'e thought of this, the original scene of the park came to mind again.

Then quickly put it behind you.

Now, she is more focused on the future.

In the workshop, Liu Yulan jumped up when she heard the news about Lou Xiao'e, and then the tractor workshop exploded.

Pure joy, happy, happy for Yang Xiaotao.

Then, other workshops, logistics, fleets, warehouses, etc. were all shocked by the news.

The steel rolling mill has the courage to appoint a young man in his twenties as deputy director. This meritocratic act has given hope to more people.

The hope of getting ahead.

Even if it requires more hard work and talent, it is still better than just enduring qualifications.

Outside the toilet, Shazhu and Xu Damao hugged each other.

No one knows what the reason was. It might have been spitting, pouting, or just not looking at each other, so the two started to fight.

At this time, the person on the toilet next to them said something and made the two of them stop.

"Yang Xiaotao has become the deputy director."

Silly Zhu picked up Xu Damao's collar and pressed him to the ground.

Xu Damao pinched Shazhu's chest, his face turned red.

"Who will be the deputy director?"

The two looked at each other, then Silly Zhu let go and kicked Xu Damao, and ran away to ask about the situation.

After a while, Shazhu cursed and sat down on one side, while Xu Damao on the other side lost his energy. The two were not far apart, but they no longer wanted to fight.

“Are all the leaders of the steel rolling mills fools?”

"You have no hair on your lips and can't do your job well. You don't even know?"

"How dare you let Yang Xiaotao be the deputy director of the factory? Just watch, something will happen."

Xu Damao said angrily, and Sha Zhu on the side also nodded, "Si Mao, you finally speak human language."

"snort!"
