Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 269 Election

Shi Xia boarded the ship, and Accountant Xu followed behind. The two found seats and sat down. Accountant Xu naturally took out some dried squid from his backpack.

"Bake fresh this morning."

"I was wondering why it smelled so good. I could smell it before I even got on the ship, and I thought I was mistaken."

Shi Xia took it and started eating. Accountant Xu watched her eat; it was originally prepared for her.

Everyone in Hai San Island knows that Shi Xia loves good food.

"Great! How are your squid strips selling?"

Accountant Xu held up three fingers.

Shi Xia: What does OK mean? Accountant Xu has even taught herself English?
Seeing that Shi Xia didn't move, Accountant Xu whispered, "This year, we estimate that each person will receive three hundred."

This time, it was Shi Xia's turn to be surprised.

"so much?"

Although she is very rich, none of it comes from legitimate sources; however, her income from the three islands is genuine.

Accountant Xu nodded and started calculating for Shi Xia on her fingers.

“Even though you’re not home, you’ve arranged for Fatty, Lao Liu, and Little Eagle to guide us. They’re excellent at both the sky and the sea, and they’re very accurate at setting their nets. Every time we catch a lot of fish, and they’re all good stuff. That’s a significant source of income.”

"We now have two large ships. One goes out to sea for fishing, and the other specializes in catching squid, clams, shrimp, abalone, and the like. These are all processed into squid strips, dried shrimp, dried clams, and dried abalone, which can be sold and the sales are quite good."

"We also have laver and kelp, which are now in production. Every time they come ashore, we can't keep up with demand."

"And that seashell necklace and wind chime you made, people are buying them too."

As Shi Xia listened to Accountant Xu speak, she felt a surge of pride; the three islands of Hai San Island had truly developed.

She only gave me some ideas at the beginning, and then really didn't pay much attention to them afterwards.

"You guys are amazing."

"It's all thanks to you."

"Yes, I certainly deserve credit for it."

The two chuckled and continued their conversation.

The footsteps were very loud. The two looked up and saw Li Yafang carrying her luggage upstairs. It was Cheng Qingmin who brought her here.

"Cheng Qingmin, put it down. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Cheng Qingmin, after putting down his luggage, couldn't say he was sad; he was simply doing his best to act according to his conscience.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you."

"Hmph, that's for the best! People like you can just rot on this wretched island for the rest of your lives!"

Li Yafang turned her head and saw Shi Xia, her heart pounding.

"Broken island? Li Yafang, make yourself clear, otherwise we won't stamp your return-to-city documents."

"You dare! This is an abuse of power, everyone heard that, right?"

Li Yafang tried to intimidate Shi Xia with the power of the crowd, but no one around her responded; they all turned away to talk.

"You guys! Humph!"

In Li Yafang's eyes, Shi Xia was a despicable evil force, and she was the little poplar tree who had to compromise temporarily.

"I didn't say the three islands..."

Li Yafang's cowardly behavior made Shi Xia feel bored. The main reason was that she knew Uncle Cao wanted to send these educated youth away.

Moreover, she had already spoken to Lao Ma, asking him to stop sending educated youth to Hai San Island.

At that moment, Lao Ma gave me a knowing look: "It's not good to mess with your 'business'."

In any case, no more educated youth came to Haisan Island afterward.

"leave me alone."

When Shi Xia spoke, Li Yafang dragged her luggage to a place very, very far away, encouraging herself: She'll be a city dweller soon!

I never want to come back here again in my life!
The ferry has set sail.

Shi Xia ate the squid strips, looked at the sea view, and felt the sea breeze. It wasn't long before she was done eating.

go to bed.

When she woke up again, it was Uncle Xu pushing Shi Xia.

"We've arrived, Shi Xia."

"Oh, I know."

Shi Xia opened her eyes while yawning, not in a hurry to move, her bottom was still numb.

After most of the people had come down, she and Accountant Xu came down.

They decided to take care of business first, and then go check on the bald guy. The two went to the government building entrance; it was a government-organized event.

After their letters of introduction were checked, the two went inside.

The house is very large, after all, it has to accommodate many people.

Many of the fishermen knew Shi Xia, after all, she had saved many fishermen from the mines.

They also brought back quite a few ships.

After waiting for about forty minutes, a person appeared wearing clothes typical of the 1960s, with a row of buttons down the middle, four pockets, and a pen clipped to his chest.

"Welcome everyone, thank you for your support... The Fisheries Association was established to protect the rights and safety of fishermen..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xia knew that the opening remarks were all nonsense. She stared blankly at the speaker, her mind already blank.

"Hey?"

Accountant Xu nudged Shi Xia, and Shi Xia snapped out of her daze.

"The student council president has been elected."

President?

Isn't that the boss?

"If no one has any objections, then I will serve as the first president of the Fisheries Association—"

"I!"

Shi Xia raised her hand.

On stage, Song Mingshan looked at Shi Xia, a girl?
Of all the people in the room, she was probably the only girl there.

He was the newly transferred person specifically in charge of the fisheries association.

To put it bluntly, it's like parachuting in someone without a suitable position, and suddenly there's a fisheries association.

"Miss, what do you want to say?"

Song Mingshan didn't see Shi Xia as a threat. Among the group of men present, no one would agree to a woman becoming the president.

Shi Xia stood up, her voice loud.

"When I was in the Three Islands of the Sea, I volunteered to be the president of this association."

Song Mingshan maintained his smile and said magnanimously, "Since Comrade Shi Xia has an opinion, why don't we vote?"

Shi Xia shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Okay, then I'll go up on stage and give my campaign speech."

As she spoke, Shi Xia came out and quickly went up to the podium.

Song Mingshan was pushed to the side, and someone next to him was pulling him.

Song Mingshan thought the other party wanted to send Shi Xia away, so he gestured for her to calm down and let her go.

He's guaranteed to win.

The young comrade who was pulling Song Mingshan was so anxious he wanted to stomp his feet; that wasn't what he meant.

He knew Shi Xia and knew her place in the fishermen's hearts. He wanted to tell Song Mingshan not to compete with Shi Xia, because he couldn't win.

The young comrade was very anxious. It wasn't that he didn't want to remind her, but he knew that Shi Xia had gone to the military after getting married. Why was she back on Hai San Island?

Just as the two were thinking in completely opposite directions, Shi Xia's campaign speech began.

"Comrades, I am Shi Xia!"

"Vote for me, and I'll lead you to fight back! We'll beat them so badly they'll be begging for mercy on their knees, and they'll tremble at the sight of our ships!"

Song Mingshan was a cultured man, and he was stunned when Shi Xia opened her mouth.

Is this a campaign manifesto, or a blood oath before a decisive battle?

Where does this strong bandit aura come from?

Before he could figure it out, the fishermen below erupted in excitement.

"it is good!"

"Fight back!"

"Shi Xia! Shi Xia! Shi Xia!"

One call and a hundred responses, that's all.

There was nothing Song Mingshan didn't understand; he had lost.

He turned around blankly, looked at the young comrade who was pulling him, and asked, "What do you want me to say?"

The young comrade, with a tearful face, said, "I want to say, don't argue with Comrade Shi Xia."

You can't win an argument, and you're likely to get beaten up.
