Chapter 262

After Lin Changchun spoke, Lu Xiaotian nodded repeatedly: "As far as I know, Chairman Zheng intends to let his son Zheng Sanduo take over, and he has secretly obtained a lot of votes."

Ye Jiayao was stunned: "You knew earlier, why didn't you make preparations earlier?"

Lu Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "I only found out last night, so I told Shopkeeper Lin about it."

Lin Changchun said: "President Zheng kept this matter secret. If shopkeeper Lu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it."

Ye Jiayao was unhappy. Originally, it didn't matter who was the president, but Zheng Fugui's actions were unjustifiable. This chamber of commerce is the link between the government and businessmen, businessmen and businessmen, and businessmen and the market, in order to safeguard the interests of members and prosper the industry. For the purpose of economic development, the position of president is particularly important. How can his family have the final say?

"So, now we have to concentrate on recommending one person, so that we still have a chance of winning." Lu Xiaotian said.

Ye Jiayao understands this truth. They have already done their work and there will definitely be a group of people who will second their opinions later. The other part of the wall depends on the direction of the wind. The east wind is stronger than the east wind, and the west wind is stronger than the west wind.

"It goes without saying, Shopkeeper Lu, you are more suitable than me." Ye Jiayao said.

Lu Xiaotian said: "Shopkeeper Ye, I'm not being polite to you. You are indeed more suitable than me. It will be decided later. I recommend you."

"President Zheng is here..." Zhong Xiang whispered.

Ye Jiayao looked at the door and saw President Zheng walking in with a gloomy face and a white flower on his arm. Followed by Zheng Sanduo, Lian Xingwang, shopkeeper Mei and others.

Everyone was almost here. Zheng Fugui cleared his throat and said: "I called everyone here today because I have an important matter to discuss with you. Due to personal reasons, I need to leave Jinling temporarily, so I cannot take care of the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. According to the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, I must resign from my position in the Chamber of Commerce and appoint a suitable person to take up the position, as well as Vice President Zhang. Some of you here may already know that Vice President Zhang is ill and may not be able to continue. I’m in charge of affairs, so let’s take a look, are there any suitable candidates?”

As soon as Zheng Fugui finished his words, Lian Xingwang said: "President Zheng's efforts and contributions to the Chamber of Commerce since he took up the position of president are obvious to all, especially the successful cooking competition last year, which won unanimous praise. President Zheng needs to leave Jinling due to personal reasons, so there is no need to resign, just let Mr. Zheng serve as the acting president temporarily, Mr. Zheng’s abilities are also good!”

Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zheng is young and promising. I heard that Mr. Zheng has been taking care of Fu Ji in recent years and he has done a very good job."

Those who had colluded for a long time all agreed and agreed.

Among the echoes, Duan Qilin's cold voice seemed out of place.

"I object. Chairman Zheng went to Xuzhou to observe filial piety. This filial piety cannot be returned in a year and a half. According to the regulations of the Chamber of Commerce, the president's term of office is five years. If he is unable to preside over the affairs of the chamber of commerce for a long time during this period, he must resign. Moreover, The Chamber of Commerce has never had an acting president."

"Mr. Duan, our chamber of commerce has never had an acting president. That's because we have never encountered this kind of thing before. Other chambers of commerce have acting presidents who say, we can't be rigid!" Storekeeper Mei said slowly.

Duan Qilin snorted coldly: "Even if there is an acting president, it is because everyone recommends a capable person. The chamber of commerce belongs to everyone, not to any one company."

The corner of Zheng Fugui's mouth twitched, and his expression was already ugly, but he still held back and winked at Lian Xingwang.

Lian Xingwang said: "Shopkeeper Duan is so unconvinced, does he think he is more qualified for the position of president than Mr. Zheng?"

Duan Qilin said coldly: "Duan is not talented. If compared with Mr. Zheng, Duan thinks he is still a little better."

"However, Duan thinks that Duan's ability is not enough to be qualified for the position of president. Among those present, Duan believes that the only ones who are truly qualified for the position of president are Shopkeeper Lu from Sushanfang and Shopkeeper Ye from Tianshangju. .”

"Shopkeeper Lu made a splash in last year's cooking competition and won first place. His superb cooking skills are unquestionable. Moreover, his Vegetarian Restaurant is a time-honored brand. After he took over, the Vegetarian Restaurant has become even more brilliant. , who dares not to be convinced by its strength and ability? As for Tianshangju’s shopkeeper Ye, who is the leader of the imperial kitchen, Tianshangju’s business is so prosperous that we can’t match it. Its new dishes are emerging one after another, and its business methods are even better than yours. I don’t know how many times it is. I want to ask, who among you here dares to say that he can compete with Shopkeeper Ye? Moreover, Shopkeeper Ye also has another identity, that is, the second young mistress of the Marquis of Jing’an Mansion. When it comes to dealing with the government, who else can compare? Is she more suitable?"

Duan Qilin's sharp eyes swept over the faces of the sycophants one by one. Those guys all avoided Duan Qilin's glance as if nothing had happened.

"I agree. The Chamber of Commerce serves everyone by recommending talents. Naturally, it is necessary to recommend someone with outstanding abilities and who is dedicated to the Chamber of Commerce. I recommend..." Lin Changchun said loudly.

Ye Jiayao quickly interrupted him: "I recommend Shopkeeper Lu. The Lu family has two Kui yuan. This is a story that has never been seen in a century. The signboard of the time-honored Sushanfang brand is well-known in Jinling and even surrounding cities. Shopkeeper Lu's seriousness and dedication to cooking The persistent attitude is admirable, but what is even more admirable is that Shopkeeper Lu is a person who is honest in business and treats others with sincerity and courtesy. I believe that if Shopkeeper Lu serves as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he will serve the Chamber of Commerce wholeheartedly. Of course, President Zheng The contribution made to the Chamber of Commerce is also indispensable. Because of this, the selection of successors must be more cautious and cannot be due to certain personal factors. We must seek better development of the Chamber of Commerce."

Ye Jiayao was afraid that Lin Changchun would say her name. She only had one consideration in mind. Lu Xiaotian's reputation in the industry was excellent. Needless to say, he was good at cooking. He was also very kind. He was not as upright as Duan Qilin. Zhongzheng had, He is gentle and gentle, and will not offend people too much. Moreover, the performance of his Vegetarian Restaurant is above average in Jinling City. It attracts attention but does not arouse jealousy, unlike her. Her heavenly abode was so dazzling that many people secretly gritted their teeth in hatred, smiled in front of her, and cursed her behind their backs. Therefore, when it comes to winning chances, Lu Xiaotian is higher than her.

Lin Changchun immediately seconded the proposal: "I agree, I recommend Shopkeeper Lu. There is no more suitable candidate than Shopkeeper Lu."

Duan Qilin also said: "I also recommend Shopkeeper Lu."

Lu Xiaotian was already very popular. Someone took the lead and immediately won the support of a large number of people.

Lu Xiaotian took a deep look at Ye Jiayao and smiled helplessly in his heart. This shopkeeper Ye really gave him such an important burden.

Zheng Fugui's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Today's situation was what he expected, but it was also unexpected. He didn't expect so many people to support Lu Xiaotian. The current situation is that both sides are evenly matched and evenly matched.

It's no use to blame Sanduo for all the weird things. If he could get a better ranking in the cooking competition, he wouldn't have so much trouble, and it would just fall into place.

The matter involved Zheng Sanduo, and Zheng Fugui couldn't comment, so he could only signal others to speak.

Shopkeeper Mei said: "Shopkeeper Lu's ability is indeed good, but I still think Mr. Zheng is more suitable. After all, he and President Zheng are father and son. Father and son share the same mind. Even if there are any problems, President Zheng can give some advice."

Duan Qilin squinted at him and said rudely: "Shopkeeper Mei's words are wrong. Does it mean that if there is another successor, President Zheng will not be able to give advice? President Zheng is the kind of narrow-minded person who only gives advice to himself. My son, you don’t give advice to others?”

Duan Qilin calmly defeated Zheng Fugui's army.

Shopkeeper Mei was caught in the mistake in her words and didn't know how to defend herself.

Lian Xingwang said: "Shopkeeper Duan, don't take it out of context! Shopkeeper Mei didn't mean that."

"What do you mean if it doesn't mean that? It sounds like that to me." Lin Changchun helped.

"Furthermore, President Zheng is going to Xuzhou to observe mourning. He won't be able to come back in a year or so. If he encounters any problem, how can he ask for advice? Write a letter for advice? The day lily is getting cold after all this time." Someone said. Sniffed.

"Besides, as the acting president said, there are no such rules in our chamber of commerce." Someone else commented.

Lian Xingwang was sweating on his forehead, the opponent's offensive was strong.

"There is no such thing in our chamber of commerce. That's because we have never encountered this kind of thing before! We can't be rigid. Other chambers of commerce still have acting presidents, and they do a pretty good job. I believe Mr. Zheng can Competent." Lian Xingwang said bravely.

"Haha, what we are discussing now is not who is qualified, but who is more qualified." Ye Jiayao smiled.

"In that case, let's vote to decide who has more votes and who will serve as the president." Seeing the current situation, Zheng Fugui couldn't continue to argue. He just counted and found that his side still had the largest number of people. With such a slight advantage, as long as we can win, the difference of one vote is enough.

Ye Jiayao has also been observing those people who have never spoken. These seemingly useless guys actually have no idea what they have in mind. If they vote now, they are likely to lose.

Ye Jiayao suggested: "Before voting, let the two most vocal competitors express their thoughts on what they will do as the successor to the chamber of commerce president! After all, this is related to the interests of every member. Let's understand what is going to happen. It will be easier for the new president to make a judgment on what he thinks."

This proposal was reasonable and reasonable, and it was difficult for Zheng Fugui to refuse.

Zheng Sanduo was eager to show off and stood up immediately: "Then let me tell you what I think first."

Everyone is busy and waiting for Zheng Sanduo's speech.

Ye Jiayao paid attention to Lu Xiaotian's reaction and saw that he was frowning slightly, obviously also thinking.

"Ahem." Zheng Sanduo cleared his throat and said: "I can't say those fancy things, and I can't coax people. I only have one idea, which is to uphold my father's purpose of serving the Chamber of Commerce and treat me as a member. We should put welfare first, fully listen to everyone’s opinions and demands, and try our best to communicate with the government and members..."
