Chapter 166: Unsurprising Return to City

After waiting for a long time, everyone was getting anxious!

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, "Knock, knock, knock", and the conference room suddenly became quiet.

Secretary Wang shouted, "Come in!"

Director Yang of the Youth League Office pushed open the door and walked in with an embarrassed look on his face, saying, "Secretary Wang, Captain Tian, ​​I'm so sorry. The road is icy and the car skidded several times along the way. I'm a little late and have kept you waiting!"

Secretary Wang stood up quickly upon seeing this, smiled and waved at the other person, even offering up the seat next to him. He said enthusiastically, "Director Yang, you're so polite. It's our honor to have you here! Besides, it's great to have you personally oversee such an important matter!"

Director Yang waved his hand and explained, "I'm not here to interfere with your vote on the number of people returning to the city. I'm here to send someone to you."

Before he finished speaking, everyone had already noticed the person following behind him. It was Yuan Yixiuan, who everyone had been paying attention to before.

Ever since Village Chief Zhao’s verdict came out, everyone knew that Yuan Yixiuan was wrongly accused.

The brigade applied to the higher authorities and sent her to a relevant hospital for treatment.

There is a hospital in Beidahuang that specializes in treating mental illnesses. I heard that many of the patients are educated youth and sent-down personnel with psychological problems, and there are quite a few of them.

Who would have thought that she would recover after just a few days? Her recovery was too fast.

Jiang Yanqiu also knew that Yuan Yixuan and the others probably didn’t want to pretend anymore?

However, since the director of the Youth League Office delivered it personally, the subsequent relationships must have been taken care of.

In this situation, it goes without saying that she will be the one to return to the city.

At the same time, several candidates also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the higher-ups had sent someone with connections to grab the spots.

After Yuan Yixuan gently closed the door and walked into the conference room, Director Yang cleared his throat and continued, "Everyone, Comrade Yuan Yixuan, an educated youth from our brigade, has now fully recovered after this period of meticulous treatment and recuperation! The doctor said that her physical and mental state have recovered, and she can fully return to work and continue to shine for our great motherland!

Considering the great injustice and hardships Yuan Zhiqing has endured before, our Zhiqing Office believes that she meets the requirements for recommending her to return to the city. We brought her here today specifically to let her participate in the recommendation vote for returning to the city. What do you think?

Secretary Wang was so happy that he almost clapped his hands, but he tried hard to hold it back.

He put on a serious face and said, "Yuan Zhiqing suffered such great injustice in our brigade. We are truly ashamed and heartbroken! Now that she's finally recovered, we should feel less guilty. It's our honor that she can continue to contribute to our great motherland. Not only can we not let her participate in the vote, but we would also give her a spot directly. Our brigade has absolutely no objection!"

After hearing this, Director Yang responded with a serious expression, "You can't say that, Secretary Wang, and you can't do that either. Yuan Zhiqing was indeed wronged, and her experience is heartbreaking and remorseful, but this has nothing to do with the other educated youth."

We cannot deprive other educated youth of their right to compete simply because of someone else's mistakes. No matter what, we must always remember the Party's directives and act fairly and impartially.

When Secretary Wang heard this, he immediately realized that what he had just said was not right.

He quickly nodded and admitted his mistake, saying, "Director, you're absolutely right. I was just distracted. But since you've come to our brigade in person today, and we've just encountered such a good opportunity, how about you help us supervise the vote counting?"

This time, Director Yang readily agreed: "There's no problem with monitoring the votes, but the decision-making power still lies with your team!"

Once the decision is made, voting begins.

There are only four people participating in the election on site. According to the regulations, each person has to choose three people from these four.

The director of the Youth League Office looked at the list of candidates. Including Yuan Yixiuan's, there were exactly four names on the list.

He couldn't help but frown and asked curiously, "I remember there were four educated youth who met the requirements at your educated youth center. Including that educated youth Yuan, how come there are only four names here?"

Upon hearing this, Secretary Wang's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

He hesitated for a moment, then said a little embarrassedly, "Director Yang, you may not know this, but there's actually another educated young woman named Zhao. However, she feels she's still young and wants to contribute a few more years to our Shanshui Brigade. She doesn't plan to work in the capital, but wants to return to her hometown and continue to contribute to it. So, she's giving up this opportunity to compete."

When Lin Xiaomei, who was standing nearby, heard what Secretary Wang said, her anger suddenly flared up.

Now Zhao Lanlan's family background is unknown, but Secretary Wang is still covering for her.

But no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to say anything. Although she was usually fearless and didn't take her family seriously in the team, she felt that she would have to return to the city sooner or later.

But now, facing the director of the Youth League Office, she didn't dare to act presumptuously even if she was angry, otherwise it would be too easy for him to prevent her from returning to the city.

Director Yang seemed to have sensed that there might be something fishy going on and was worried that an unfair situation like internal appointment would occur again.

So he specifically asked, "Is this Zhao Zhiqing here today?"

Secretary Wang quickly pointed at Zhao Lanlan and introduced her with a smile, "Here she is! Director Yang, look, this is Comrade Zhao Lanlan."

Director Yang stepped forward quickly and carefully examined Zhao Lanlan's educated youth certificate. After confirming that there was no problem, he confirmed with Zhao Lanlan herself that she really would not participate in this vote.

Once everything is verified, voting officially begins!

After the voting was over, Gu Qingshi was responsible for calling out the votes, Qin Yiheng was responsible for counting the votes, and Director Yang served as the vote monitor to ensure that the entire voting process was fair, just and transparent.

Unsurprisingly, Lin Shaoyang, Liu Yuanda and Yuan Yixiuan passed with all votes, while Lin Xiaomei received no votes.

This result surprised both the director of the Youth League Office and Yuan Yixiuan.

I originally thought that the quotas had been decided. After all, even Zhao Lanlan didn't run for the election, and it didn't look like Zhao Lanlan was giving up voluntarily.

Yuan Yixiuan appeared in front of everyone today as a normal person. She was not here to compete for the opportunity to return to the city, but she had completed the procedures to return to the city and came back to transfer her household registration.

Originally, Jiang Nanzheng wanted to just go back quietly, thinking that less trouble is worse than more, but she was unwilling to do so.

However, there was no evidence that Lin Xiaomei framed her, so she couldn't do anything to her.

But with Lin Xiaomei's personality, as long as she returns to the city in glory, it will be a spiritual punishment for the other party.

But I didn't expect to get a job for free.

Lin Xiaomei sat on the stool motionless with a lost look on her face. She knew in her heart that she was not popular, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even compare to Yuan Yixiuan, who had been famous for several years.

What she couldn't accept was that even Qiao Lei didn't vote for her. She never dreamed that the result would be like this!

Seeing Qiao Lei's expression, Lin Xiaomei's eyes also became gloomy, and she cursed in her heart: "If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
