On the ninth day after Gu Baishun was shot, the referendum meeting of the Coders Association was held as scheduled.
Around 6 o'clock in the morning, the entrance of TEDA Conference Center in Longkou District, Longcheng City was already blocked by various vehicles. There were too many people attending the conference, and the number of vehicles on site far exceeded expectations, so the venue security department could only temporarily negotiate several parking spaces in the surrounding commercial buildings for everyone to use.
The core members of the Coders Association, all dressed appropriately, were crowded together, chatting around the square or taking photos in groups of three or five.
Because there were too many participants, the largest conference room of the Coders Association could not accommodate more than 1,600 people, so the association rented the TEDA Conference Center and hired a professional security company to maintain order.
Today's referendum conference really shows the influence and strength of the Coders Association. Whether it is the quality of the attendees or the ability to coordinate the referendum conference, it is not comparable to the current Tongji Association. There are 30 or 40 senior executives in the association who are responsible for reception. Any one of them is a well-known figure in society.
…
6:10 in the morning, in the Yu family villa.
After Su Tianyu finished washing up, he took a fried dough stick from the kitchen and ate it while asking Yu Mingyuan, "What time are you leaving?"
"I'll be there in a minute," Yu Mingyuan replied with a smile, "Let's go and see what's going on."
"Then I'll go first." Su Tianyu greeted the other party.
"Are you going to Lao Li's place?" Kong Zhenghui asked.
"No, the leader has already arranged everything." Su Tianyu walked out and replied softly, "I'll be the bargaining chip."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Tonghui didn't quite understand.
"Haha, you will know when the meeting starts." Su Tianyu replied vaguely and walked out of the house.
In the living room, Yu Mingyuan wiped his mouth, looked up at Zhou Tonghui and said, "Tell your people to get ready."
"good."
Last night, Zhou Tonghui and Yu Mingyuan talked all night until after two in the morning, and the two sides had reached a consensus on certain issues.
The entrance of the villa.
Su Tianyu ate up the fried dough sticks in two bites, bent down and got into Hou Guoyu's car, and whispered, "Go to Longkou Wharf."
"Okay!" Hou Guoyu drove away.
…
Inside the garrison headquarters.
Tan Mingchao said to his father, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything here. Once the results are out, I will call you immediately."
Tan Hengqiang ate breakfast and whispered, "If it weren't for the pressure from the upper management, who insisted that I support Kangdinghuang and the Coders Association, I would have wanted to withdraw. But since we have already done it, we have to do it well. When encountering emergencies, we should think more and not be impulsive. We should try our best to get an ideal result."
"I understand!" Tan Mingchao nodded.
"Go ahead." Tan Hengqiang waved his hand.
"Haha, then I'm leaving." Tan Mingchao replied with a smile and left the restaurant with his guards.
A few minutes later, in the backyard of the garrison headquarters, Zhang Ming, Yang Dong, Guiziwu, and a dozen senior executives of the Coders Association who supported this side had gathered.
Tan Mingchao came over with a group of soldiers and waved at Zhang Ming: "Come here."
"You say, Commander Tan!" Zhang Ming immediately leaned over.
Tan Mingchao was wearing a proper military uniform and a lieutenant colonel beret. He looked very handsome and extraordinary. “Don’t be nervous. Just fight as you should. You must show confidence in front of the members present.”
"Yes, yes!" Zhang Ming nodded repeatedly.
"Lao Li wants to hold a referendum and has been forcing you to come forward. His purpose is very simple. He wants to avoid being criticized and get the position of the head of the Coders Association through normal rules. To put it bluntly, he has to convince the people he helped to get the position." Tan Mingchao reminded again: "So if we follow this line of thought, there will be no problem. Even if the election result is unfavorable, you don't have to panic. We can pass the second and third plans to continue to drag them. At worst, if you are removed from office, we will continue to canvass for votes and reopen the referendum! At worst, we can just ruin this meeting... That's no problem."
"Understood!" Zhang Ming nodded heavily: "Our troops...?"
"Don't worry, we're all in. We take your safety very seriously." Tan Mingchao patted Zhang Ming on the shoulder and said, "Just go ahead and do your work, we'll be supporting you from behind."
"good!"
"Okay, let's not talk too much," Tan Mingchao waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone got in the car and set off. In addition to Zhang Ming and other members of the Coders Association, Tan Mingchao personally arranged two platoons of guards to escort them closely, not to mention the "maintenance troops" that had arrived at the vicinity of the venue in advance.
In the slowly moving military off-road vehicle, Zhang Ming looked at the surrounding street scenes, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar in his heart, because ever since the Qingyi Bureau was driven out of Longcheng, he has never stepped out of the headquarters, which fully illustrates what an old dog and a telephone chairman are.
…
At around 6:50 in the morning, a car drove into the parking lot of the No. 2 Trade Port in Longkou District.
Su Tianyu and Hou Guoyu got off the car, bought some breakfast and snacks on the way, walked briskly to the shore, and found the No. 064 boarding pontoon.
Standing by the floating bridge, Su Tianyu dialed a number with his mobile phone, yawned and said, "I'm here."
"Okay, I'll let them pass."
"Um!"
After the call was hung up, Su Tianyu waited for less than two minutes before he saw a burly man approaching him: "Hostage?"
Su Tianyu turned his head and looked at him: "Yes, hostages."
"Raise your hands and let me touch your body." The sturdy man replied.
“What are you doing?” Hou Guoyu stretched out his hand and pushed the other person away: “There are only two of us, what are you afraid of?!”
"What if something explodes on you?" the sturdy man asked back with a frown.
"Okay, let him touch it." Su Tianyu replied while eating rice rolls.
After he finished speaking, Hou Guoyu reluctantly raised his arms and allowed the other party to search him.
The strong man searched the two carefully and found that they only carried pistols and no more lethal weapons. Then he said softly, "Come on, get on the boat."
"Let's go." Su Tianyu called out to the monkey and followed him onto a small fishing boat.
There were eight people in total on the boat, all of them were big and strong men, over thirty years old.
Su Tianyu nodded at them, took Hou Guoyu to the deck, and turned his head to scan the scenery on both sides of the coast.
"You are so brave." Hou Guoyu gave a thumbs up and said to Su Tianyu.
Su Tianyu hugged the other person's neck and replied with bared teeth: "Didn't you come up with me too?"
"I have no choice. Who asked me to eat your food?"
"Monkey, do you regret telling me?" Su Tianyu asked seriously.
As the two were talking, the fishing boat quickly left the port and headed towards the high seas.
