Courtyard House: He Daqing Forces Qin Huairu into Marrying at the Beginning

It's better than you, a thug.

Yi Zhonghai retorted.

The neighbors watched the two of them bickering and undermining each other, but their expressions didn't show much reaction.

I've gotten used to it over time.

"That's enough, stop arguing."

Since it's an election, it must be democratic and fair.

Each household in the courtyard elected a representative to vote on the candidates.

The person with the most votes becomes the manager.

He Daqing stepped in to stop the chaos.

Continuing to argue isn't a solution, and everyone agrees with He Daqing's arrangement.

"Then, those who want to run for the position of steward, please come forward first."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he stepped forward and walked to the middle of the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and others stepped forward.

The person in charge has some power.

Since the election was free, many neighbors came out to give it a try.

"Great, the arrangements have been finalized."

Next, we'll begin the vote by raising hands.

Let's start with me.

After He Daqing finished speaking, he calmly raised his right hand.

As the only cadre in the institute, He Daqing has always enjoyed high prestige in the institute over the past two years.

Everyone bought into it, and almost no one objected.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

"Twenty votes."

"Next up, Liu Haizhong."

He Daqing then began to announce the names of the candidates one by one.

In this way, after one round, the votes for all candidates were clearly counted.

He Daqing, with the highest number of votes, became the undisputed eldest uncle of the courtyard house.

Yan Bugui came in second with the most votes, and Li Shengli from the front yard came in third.

"I'm not convinced!

Why does Li Shengli from the front yard get to act like a king?!

Liu Haizhong, who was not selected, angrily roared at the crowd.

He Daqing and Yan Bugui were highly respected in the courtyard, so Liu Haizhong could barely accept that they had taken over the position of the steward.

But how could an unknown Li Shengli possibly compete with him for the position of Third Uncle?

"Liu Haizhong, this election was fair and just."

Since Lee Seung-ri came in third place, he should naturally be treated like the third-in-command.

He Daqing said calmly.

He knew that Liu Haizhong, who had been eliminated, would not give up easily.

However, the matter has been settled, and there's no point in jumping around in the bangs anymore.

"This selection method is unfair."

Our courtyard house has three sections, so we should choose a manager for each of the front, middle, and back courtyards.

"Since Yan Bugui is already in the front yard, we shouldn't choose someone from the front yard as the master."

Liu Haizhong retorted, forcing himself to speak.

Even a clay figure has some earthy spirit; Li Shengli was displeased by Liu Haizhong's aggressive words.

"Liu Haizhong, why didn't you say something before the vote?"

It's unacceptable to wait until after the vote to criticize someone who didn't win.

If that's the case, what credibility does this election have left?

"That's right, Li Shengli is right."

"Liu Haizhong is such a troublemaker."

The selection of officials is not a big deal for the elderly, and the people in the institute do not want to spend too much energy on it.

Moreover, Liu Haizhong doesn't have a good reputation in the hospital.

Compared to Liu Haizhong, everyone prefers Li Shengli to be the manager.

Chapter 89 The Steward (Part Two)

"Liu Haizhong, did you hear me?"

Everyone in the courtyard supports me becoming the steward.

If you still disagree, you're going against the tide of the masses, and that means you have a problem with your ideological awareness.

Lee Seung-ri bravely defended the fruits of his victory.

Both were employees of the steel rolling mill, but Li Shengli's skills and wages were inferior to Liu Haizhong's, though the difference between them was not significant.

In addition, Liu Haizhong himself had a bad reputation, was abandoned by everyone, and even his two sons ran away.

Li Shengli was not afraid of this toothless tiger at all.

"Neighbors in the backyard, we don't even have a manager in charge of our backyard."

If conflicts arise with people from the front or middle courtyard in the future, things will be difficult to resolve.

Everyone needs to think this through.

In an effort to garner votes, Liu Haizhong began vigorously promoting the "threat theory" posed by the former Intermediate People's Court.

Liu Haizhong is only two votes behind Li Shengli.

If it weren't for the disunity and sabotage within the family, he might have succeeded.

The neighbors living in the backyard exchanged glances, their expressions turning somber.

Even among neighbors in a courtyard house, there are distinctions in the closeness of relationships.

People living in different courtyards on different floors live close together and stick together, making their relationships even closer.

Now that there's no one to speak up in the backyard, it's really been overshadowed by the front and middle courtyards.

Seeing that the people in the backyard were somewhat interested, Liu Haizhong quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Great Qing, this election was conducted too hastily, leaving everyone with insufficient time to think."

There is currently disagreement regarding the position of the third uncle.

How about we hold a vote tomorrow to re-elect Third Uncle?

Liu Haizhong looked at He Daqing with a sincere expression.

Liu Haizhong was well aware of He Daqing's prestige within the courtyard.

If He Daqing agrees, there's still a chance for things to turn around.

Moreover, his suggestion was very rational: first, help He Daqing and Yan Bugui pinpoint their locations to avoid harming their interests and causing a backlash.

He Daqing lowered his head in thought, without immediately expressing his opinion.

Li Shengli isn't worried at all, so why should he be in such a hurry?

"Old Yan, you're the second oldest man in the courtyard now."

What do you think of my suggestion?

The ally Liu Hai could most effectively influence was actually Yan Bugui.

As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," meaning that there is no room for two stewards in one courtyard.

With Li Shengli around, Yan Bugui's power in the front yard will be reduced.

Moreover, the two stewards were both in the front yard.

He Daqing had the ability to influence both the middle and rear courtyards, managing most of the courtyard house on his own, wielding too much power.

Yan Bugui's voice will be greatly suppressed in the future.

"Great Qing, I think what Lao Liu said makes sense."

What do you think?

To protect his own interests, Yan Bugui chose to help Liu Haizhong.

"I haven't officially taken office yet."

"We'll have to ask Lee Seung-ri if he agrees."

He Daqing outwardly maintained neutrality, but his actions were essentially passing the buck back to the authorities.

This is clearly an endorsement of Lee Seung-ri.

"Liu Haizhong, what do you mean by saying the election is unfair?"

The election was presided over by He Daqing and was fair, just and open; no one felt there was anything wrong with it.

You're such a busybody.

Li Shengli turned to Yan Bugui and said.
