Chapter 257 Praise and Killing
Chapter 257 Praise and Killing
As soon as Councillor Xu finished speaking, other councillors started speaking.
"I agree with Councillor Xu's idea. It is a joke to let a student who has not yet graduated come."
Someone else echoed, "Yes, even Song Jingshen from the Song family didn't enter the parliament, so how could it be her turn as a student who hasn't graduated yet?"
As soon as these words came out, some people from the Fang family faction showed subtle expressions.
The reason why Song Jingshen did not enter the parliament was not because he was not qualified, but because he was too qualified.
Since the upper seats have been divided, if he were to enter parliament, he would only be a middle seat or a last seat, but that would be too unfair to him.
Besides, the heir of the Song family did not care about the middle seat or the last seat.
After all, Song Huanming is sick and may not live long.
Thinking about it this way, even the members of the Fang, Li and Ji families couldn't help but feel that this proposal was too casual.
Up to now, Yu Ge has not achieved any great achievements to show off.
Thinking of this, some councillors who were reluctant to openly oppose due to factional constraints also fell silent and did not argue. The criticism of Yu Ge at the long table became more intense.
Some even went further to criticize Yu Ge: “I think the Assistant Directorate was also a bit ridiculous in assigning this student to graduate school.”
"For a civilian student to be assigned to the committee room after graduation and promoted to second-level committee member is really too much. I'm afraid she can't handle it."
"Councilor Fang."
After observing for a long time, the fit woman sitting opposite Councillor Fang spoke up: "I also think it's not appropriate."
She raised her head, and a pair of eyes that were exactly the same as Shen Du's flashed with a sharp and cold light, shooting straight at Fang Mingzhao opposite her.
Looking at the solemn and cold old man opposite, Shen Yueshan's lips curved slightly, but his eyebrows lowered, and his expression became even colder: "I have carefully read the file of this student. Whether it is the publicity plan or saving a group of congressmen by turning the tide, it is a very remarkable thing."
"Her advocacy program really opened up a new path for us, and her outstanding performance that night really saved a lot of people."
As soon as she spoke, her eyes turned colder: "But this is far from enough to enter the parliament."
"It's not enough." Ji Changyue said with a smile, "Just those two items are definitely not enough."
The elegant congressman smiled calmly, his azure eyes moved slightly, slowly raised, and glanced at Fang Mingzhao opposite him.
"I agree with Councillor Ji."
A voice as deep as a cello sounded, and Li Yi said softly: "To entrust such an important task to a student is not to value him, but to flatter him."
The last note shattered the warm sunlight in the room. The atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated, and even the sunlight wanted to escape immediately and stay away from this weird atmosphere.
Xun Qingling looked around, raised his hand to pick up the exquisite porcelain cup, tilted his head back to take a sip of black tea, put it down with a ding, and instantly the light came in.
The colorful halo, mixed with tiny dust particles, floated out of the retro and exquisite window, passed over the high-rise buildings and traffic, and slowly floated onto the crude aluminum window frame.
Inside the window, the handsome boy stared at the bowl of red and yellow scrambled eggs with tomatoes in his hand with a frown on his face.
The gentle and honest young man next to him also frowned, turned his head away and covered his mouth, not daring to look at him at all.
I was afraid that if I looked at it for too long, I would be politely but distantly asked to taste it.
Sorry, even if it meant death, he didn't want to try the taste.
It really is - it tastes terrible.
Ye Qingyou's face turned pale, and he tried his best to control the urge to vomit.
The kitchen was silent for a long time before a heavy voice sounded: "How about——"
Fang Chi turned around and saw Ye Qingyou looking at the tomato scrambled eggs with difficulty, and said with difficulty: "You, why don't you just give up."
Considering Yu Ge's life, he felt that he needed to persuade her to protect her happiness.
Maybe this is the fate of being a young master?
Fang Chi turned his head and was silent for a long time. He took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth. He chewed it expressionlessly with his cheeks moving slightly. After a while, he stopped moving his cheeks, turned his head and spit it out.
He tried to hold it back, but still couldn't swallow it.
It's sour, salty, sweet, and filled with chewy, dry tomato skin and tomato cores. It's really unpalatable.
After rinsing his mouth, Fang Chi stared at the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in confusion.
He remembered that he had peeled off the tomato skin and the core on top of the tomato. Where did it come from?
and also--
He took the vinegar next to him and frowned.
It was clearly soy sauce that Ye Qingyou handed over, how come it suddenly turned into vinegar?
"I'll be back for dinner tomorrow."
"Then learn it. If you can't do it, go to -"
Yu Ge's words suddenly came to his mind. Fang Chi calmed down, poured out the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, turned his head and said, "Continue. Yu Yu said she will come back for dinner in the evening and asked me to cook for her myself."
Ye Qingyou's face turned pale in an instant and he looked at him inexplicably.
Maybe, probably, Yu Yu wouldn't want to eat such a weird thing.
"Perhaps, you command and I take action?" Ye Qingyou said tactfully, "This is no different from what you did."
When things weren't going smoothly, Fang Chi said in a bad tone, "Don't you know what it means to do it yourself?"
"I understand." Ye Qingyou's face turned slightly cold. "Not only do I know what it means to cook with my own hands, I also know what it means to poison with my own hands."
He paused. "Which one do you think you are, Mr. Fang?"
Fang Chi was choked for a moment. He wanted to punish this commoner who disrespected the nobles, but he had to swallow his anger. He did not dare to make Lin Hui and Yu Ge angry. He could only take a deep breath and bow his head and said:
"Excuse me, Mr. Ye, I think——"
"You should be able to understand my feelings, right?" Fang Chi was almost humble to the extreme, even at the cost of winning the sympathy of the male mistress.
Before Ye Qingyou could say anything, a leisurely voice came from outside the kitchen: "Master Fang did a good job in delivering the meal before."
The cool and stunning black-haired young man walked in, opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of whiskey. After unscrewing it with his bare hands, he tilted his head back and took a big sip, then smiled charmingly: "There's no need to change. After all, Yu Yu may not be able to distinguish the taste of the masses."
As he spoke, his pair of rippling eyes lightly swept over the two of them, and he smiled again, revealing a contradictory temperament that was as pure as a lotus and as enchanting as a peony.
He finished speaking slowly and then walked away slowly again.
While they were doing this, the two people in the kitchen could vaguely hear the clanking sound of metal chains coming from the gorgeous young man.
chain?
Thinking of the last dance, Fang Chi looked extremely ugly.
Shameless bastard!
Fang Chi took a deep breath and said in a somewhat cold and hard voice: "Go on."
Ye Qingyou retracted his gaze, sighed, and patiently instructed Fang Chi again.
After all, he is Yu Yu's fiancé, so persistent.
It seems that the two of them have completely settled down.
Ye Qingyou felt sad.
Since it has become a foregone conclusion, all he can do, apart from occasionally accompanying her, is to try his best to teach her husband and make him a qualified househusband.
This saves him from ruining Yu Yu's taste buds for the rest of his life.
Ye Qingyou made up his mind and began to teach with great concentration.
In the Corona Building, Yu Ge was sitting in Song Jingshen's office. Not long after he sat there, there was a knock on the office door.
Someone opened the door, and not surprisingly, Yu Ge was inside. He just bowed silently, then came in with a lunch box, put it in front of her, bowed again, and left.
Yu Ge stared at the lunch box in front of him with a serious look.
On the lunch box, there was a sticky note written in a familiar handwriting.
If you don’t like Xiaolongbao, you can eat something else. I have also prepared sandwiches and Italian coffee. Give it a try, okay?
Yu Ge took a deep look at him, and his originally uneasy heart suddenly calmed down.
She stood up, walked out slowly, returned to her office, opened the two proposals that had been submitted to the Ji family and the Li family respectively, reviewed them calmly, and was determined in her heart.
——This time it’s really stable.
In the parliament, the members on both sides of the long table were still discussing.
After Ji Changyue and Li Xing finished speaking, a councillor who was close to the Fang family knocked on the table and said, "Please don't deviate from the main point. What we are discussing now is not whether Commissioner Yu is qualified to nominate, but the appointment of the new 28 councillors."
He also did not support the move to nominate Yu Ge. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a waste of quota, but things had already happened, and even if he did not approve of it, he had to defend the dignity of the nobles.
The direction of public opinion was suddenly changed. After hearing Ji and Li speak, the congressmen who had been somewhat wary breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that there was no way these two old foxes would waste their precious voting spots just because they favored Yu Ge as the next lady in charge of the family.
After all, no matter how capable outsiders are, they are still acting under the name of the Fang family.
Therefore, the congressman relaxed a little and said with a slightly happy and relaxed smile: "In that case, let's just vote directly."
After saying that, the voting procedure was immediately initiated. After one round of voting, Feng Lan, a second-level member of the committee room, began to count the votes.
"Regarding the appointment of 28 members of parliament,"
"Chen Shi from the Special Supervisory Bureau has 13 votes, Clinton from the Attorney General's Office has 12 votes, and Yu Ge from the Committee's Office——"
Feng Lan paused, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he slowly read out: "0 votes."
As expected, miracles are impossible to happen. It is already amazing for a commoner to reach such a height.
Even though he thought so, Feng Lan still couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart.
"The matter is settled." Shen Yueshan said calmly. She was extremely calm from beginning to end and did not take the dispute just now to heart.
She is like this, and so is Councillor You.
But a civilian.
"The meeting is over, so I'll leave first." Shen Yueshan said, and when he stood up to leave, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and a clear and soft voice came into everyone's ears.
"I'm sorry, but please take a seat, Councillor Shen."
Song Jingshen apologized with a warm smile, greeted politely, then walked to the head of the table, pulled out the chair in the center of the long table, and sat down.
He flipped through the proposals in front of him, then looked up at the congressmen with different expressions on both sides of the long table. His smile deepened, and his demeanor was elegant and eye-catching: "Regarding the result of the fourth proposal, on behalf of the Chief Consul--"
As he spoke, he clicked on the communicator to cancel the privacy mode. A letter of authorization suddenly popped up, and a light blue screen illuminated the ugly faces of the congressmen.
He smiled and said, "I am exercising the right of reconsideration on behalf of the Chief Consul."
"Therefore, please take a seat, Councillor Shen."
He said, smiling softly.
The MPs on both sides of the long table changed their expressions instantly, except for the senior MPs who remained calm.
Shen Yueshan glanced at Song Jingshen coldly, then looked at the councillors on both sides of the long table.
The right to reconsider is not the power to appoint or remove.
It seems that the rumors are true. Song Jing is deeply in love with Yu Ge, but he cannot get her. Now he wants to take revenge on her.
Originally, Yu Ge relied on his reputation among the common people and the favor of the councillors to reach his current position. Whether it was the appointment and removal of the committee members, the designation of the publicity plan, or the subsequent measures to save everyone, they all depended on one core -
The power of parliamentarians.
But now that the voting results in parliament have spread and the news that Yu Ge received zero votes has spread, others will understand that Yu Ge is not highly valued by the parliamentarians, and the subsequent allocation of resources and power will be greatly reduced.
Especially under the premise that none of the Fang family members voted——
It was a very early time to think about the nomination, and Yu Ge had little contact with the Fang family recently.
If Yu Ge gets 0 votes twice... the Song family is so cruel and heartless.
In an instant, Shen Yueshan thought everything through and slowly sat back.
Song Jingshen is not so ambitious as to use this occasion to take revenge on his lover.
Shen Yueshan listened attentively. When the committee members in the committee room were about to announce the vote, the door of the conference room opened again.
"Sorry, I'm late."
As the steady voice came in, a tall and strong figure walked over.
As Zhang Lin spoke, he strode over, pulled out a chair and sat down, looking at Shen Yueshan beside him: "I just finished dealing with things on the front line and rushed back. Shen Du is fine now."
Shen Yueshan nodded, thanked him briefly, and looked at Feng Lan.
Feng Lan received the hint and restarted the process.
“The appointment of 28 members will now be voted on.”
Amid the steady female voice, Zhang Lin lowered his head and looked through the information in his hand, lingering on Yu Ge's personal information page for a long time.
“…The above are the relevant achievements of the nominated politicians. Now please vote.”
As soon as the words fell, a window of the Corona program popped up on their communicator.
Everyone lowered their heads and casually pressed the button to turn off the communicator.
After the voting was over, Feng Lan also received the corresponding number of votes. The moment he looked down, his eyes widened.
Seeing the expressions of the committee members changed, Shen Yueshan had a bad guess in his mind and frowned and said, "Please announce the results."
Feng Lan was stunned for only a moment, then he came back to his senses after hearing Shen Yueshan's voice, calmed down, and slowly recited:
"Chen Shi from the Special Supervisory Bureau voted 6, Clinton from the Attorney General's Office voted 4, 3 people abstained, and Yu Ge from the Committee Office—"
She raised her head, looked at the councillors on both sides of the long table who were watching her, took a deep breath and said:
“12 votes.”
12 votes?!
How can it be?
Shen Yueshan's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he immediately looked at Song Jingshen: "The committee room is openly operating behind the scenes, how should we deal with it?"
She didn't think that Yu Ge, who just had 0 votes, could turn the situation around in such a short moment.
Song Jingshen seemed puzzled, and smiled gently: "The members of the committee room have always been honest and conscientious. Councillor Shen said this, do you have any evidence?"
"No evidence is needed." Shen Yueshan said coldly, "The committee room can just make the voting source public."
Let them see where those 12 imaginary votes came from!
