Inside the TEDA Conference Center, the voting process was long and boring. People in the hall stood up one after another to line up at the voting counter, while others whispered to people they knew.
In this way, Zhang Ming sat in the first row and waited for more than an hour before the number of votes on the spot was collected by about 90%, leaving only a few people still queuing.
While Zhang Ming was waiting, Yang Dong, Guiziwu and others had been active in the entire conference hall. Things had come to this point and there was nothing to hide, and they openly supervised the people they had brought in to vote.
As the voting was coming to an end, Yang Dong and Guiziwu returned, stood on both sides of Zhang Ming, and talked to him in a low voice.
"We have voted for all the people here." Yang Dong whispered, "I stood at the queue entrance and checked each one. There is absolutely no problem."
"It's the same situation here." Guiziwu took out his cell phone and secretly pulled up a few photos: "Look, they all voted according to our code, no problem."
Zhang Ming nodded: "Please sit down for a while. I will ask other people about the voting results and count them!"
"good!"
After everyone finished discussing, they went back to their seats, while Zhang Ming was operating the phone with one hand, asking about the number of votes for his side.
Ten minutes later, Guiziwu, who was originally sitting in the third row, suddenly stood up and hurriedly came to Zhang Ming's side: "President, President!"
Zhang Ming turned his head suddenly: "What's wrong?"
Guiziwu glanced around, took out his cell phone, and pulled out a text message: "Look!"
Zhang Ming looked down at the phone screen and was completely stunned.
"On the second floor, someone is about to set up a gun and start firing in the projection room! Tell the president to be careful!"
The content of the message was simple and clear. After Zhang Ming read it, he immediately broke out in a sweat: "Who told you that?"
Guizi Wu leaned down and whispered in Zhang Ming's ear: "There is a leader in Fukuoka District who has a very good relationship with me. He told me! Wei Xiangzuo's side seems to have exploded. Someone raised the price temporarily and wanted to ask him for 10 million. The negotiation broke down... So they are afraid that they don't have enough votes, so they may resort to dirty tricks."
Zhang Ming looked at Guiziwu in astonishment and kicked Yang Dong who was standing next to him.
"What's wrong?!" Yang Dong asked.
Guizi Wu handed the phone over and let the other party take a look.
After Yang Dong finished reading it, he felt a little nervous and couldn't help but glance at the various projection ports on the second floor!
Incidents under the table have happened too frequently recently. Jing Yan, Zhou Peng, Yu Zheng and others all died a miserable death. This made everyone a little panicked, especially Zhang Ming. Although he was not beaten to death on the spot in Donggang last time, he still lost an arm!
In the noisy meeting room, Zhang Ming glanced at Yang Dong with complicated eyes and said to him softly: "Let's go out first, you find someone to go to the second floor to take a look!"
"good!"
Yang Dong nodded.
After he finished speaking, a group of people stood up and looked around with vague eyes. There were too many people at the scene, more than 1,600 in total. Yang Dong looked at everyone and they didn't look like a good person.
On the other hand, Wei Xiangzuo went to the lounge from the beginning of the voting and rarely showed up from beginning to end. The task of counting the votes was left to his brothers.
Zhang Ming led his men to the stage and went straight behind the scenes.
An elder saw them passing by him and immediately asked with a smile: "It's almost over, what are you doing?"
Zhang Mingqiang smiled and replied: "Let's go to the toilet!"
"Ah!" The elder nodded and said nothing more.
Everyone left through a special passage behind the scenes and went directly to the president's lounge.
…
Second floor.
Yang Dong's three brothers, along with the garrison soldiers in plain clothes, walked out of the fire escape stairwell silently, then looked at each other and hurried to the projection room at a very fast pace.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The group moved quickly and opened the doors of three projection rooms in succession, but did not find anything unusual.
The leading soldier was about to call Zhang Ming, but he accidentally saw a projection room at the corner of the corridor. He paused, then immediately walked over, put his hand on the door handle, and pushed the door open.
The door opened, and the leading soldier looked inside the room and saw six men standing at the projection window.
At this time, Yang Dong's brother also came over and glanced into the house.
At the projection entrance, Guo Zhengdao frowned and looked at everyone and asked, "What are you doing?"
The leading soldier glanced at the few people and said, "Nothing, we just went the wrong way!"
"Close the door!" Guo Zhengdao replied.
The leading soldier took a look next to the projection stand and saw two large black suitcases. He then paused for a moment before closing the door and leaving.
…
In the lounge.
Zhang Ming sat on the sofa, feeling very anxious. Although he had anticipated that there might be a fierce conflict before he came, after reading Guiziwu's text message, he felt a different mood.
Someone is secretly aiming at you with a sniper rifle. Who wouldn't be panicked
"I don't think they dare to do it. The garrison is right outside. If gunshots really happen, how can Lao Li take over the Coders Association according to the rules? This is too ugly and hard to convince others." Yang Dong muttered.
“Bang!”
Before Zhang Ming could reply, the door was pushed open by Yang Dong's brother.
"What's going on?" Zhang Ming stood up and asked.
"There are indeed people there, six in total, and Guo Zhengdao is also there." Yang Dong's brother replied.
Zhang Ming blinked and his expression turned extremely ugly.
"President Zhang, they seem to have guns. I saw two large black boxes next to the projection stand." The leading soldier also said, "They should be equipped with sniper rifles!"
Zhang Ming swallowed, put his hands on his hips, and looked around the lounge unconsciously.
For nearly a month, Zhang Ming had been hiding in the garrison headquarters. Although he was safe, the convening and internal arrangements of this meeting were not handled by him personally. This resulted in him feeling completely insecure while staying in the venue.
Next to him, Yang Dong suddenly stood up after hearing what his brothers and soldiers said. His attitude was completely different from before: "Damn it, they are really ready to fight! Then let's just wait here...!"
Zhang Ming turned his head to look at Yang Dong, and whispered to him: "The votes have been cast, and the ballots are on the stage. No one can move them! In this way, you should leave a few reliable brothers to protect our people and personally supervise the vote count!"
"good!"
"Let's go, there's no point in staying here." Zhang Ming called out to everyone, "Let's go find Commander Tan!"
"Let's go, hurry up!" Yang Dong took out his phone and urged everyone.
“Ding ding!”
At this moment, Guiziwu received another text message and followed Zhang Ming and said, "The people on the second floor have left. Guo Zhengdao went to Wei Xiangzuo's room!"
Zhang Ming frowned and immediately quickened his pace: "Hurry, hurry up!"
