Chapter 2274 Unexpected Nomination

After they discussed for about ten minutes, the thin old man stood up again, coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent.

"So, who among you can tell me first, is there anyone suitable?"

"Let's speak freely!"

After the words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Even if they had a candidate, they didn't dare to speak until the big boss in front of them spoke.

Seeing that no one was talking, President Peng winked at Mr. Chen and was about to tell him the candidate they had discussed, but he didn't expect a voice to come from the side, "I have a candidate who can take on the responsibility of leading the Ninth Department."

Mr. Peng was shocked when he heard this, and his heart felt inexplicably tight.

These nine ministries will have considerable power in the future.

Especially when it comes to certain important industries.

If the money is hoarded by people with ulterior motives, it will not only fail to drive the country forward, but may even become a formality.

I glanced at the person next to me. I didn't expect this guy to be so sharp and take action now.

At this time, President Peng was about to interrupt without caring about his face, but the thin old man saw his intention and quickly spoke up, "Okay, tell us, we are all ears!"

Mr. Peng opened his mouth but was unable to speak. He could only take a deep breath, then look at Mr. Chen, and prepare to argue with him.

"Cough cough."

"I recommend Comrade Yang Xiaotao, the chief designer of the Red Star Machinery Factory and the commander-in-chief in charge of the development of the aircraft, as the leader of the Ninth Department."

The old man finished his words in one breath, then took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth and started coughing softly.

However, after these words were spoken, the entire venue fell into dead silence.

As the old man finished his words, the meeting room fell silent.

Even the thin old man who presided over the meeting did not expect that the other party would actually recommend Yang Xiaotao.

You know, what Yang Xiaotao did before was not in line with him.

Even in his intelligence information, there were several times when Yang Xiaotao's unconventional actions destroyed it.

Now that he was the one making the recommendation, he was confused as to whether there was some conspiracy behind this.

Instead, the two people sitting at the top looked at each other and then laughed, as if everything was seen through.

There were many people present who had the same idea as the thin old man.

Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen are such examples.

In their plan, they recommended Qian Lao from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, and then Yang Xiaotao would be his deputy, and his subordinates would be integrated with the Red Star Machinery Factory as the main body.

This will not only unleash the potential of the Red Star Machinery Factory, but also provide them with ample opportunities to showcase their talents.

Moreover, Lao Qian and Yang Xiaotao are both scientific talents, and they can create sparks when working together.

But they didn't think of letting Yang Xiaotao take the leading role, because he was too young.

They are not even thirty years old yet, and their children are still studying and working.

At this time, the other party nominated Yang Xiaotao, which was to muddy the waters and challenge the person they proposed.

Even if Yang Xiaotao knew about this, he might really feel uncomfortable.

Conspiracy, a total conspiracy.

At this moment, Mr. Peng looked a little angry.

What a good young man, yet these people plotted against him.

It's really, really abominable.

In addition to these people who were surprised, there were some who knew Yang Xiaotao.

Just like Mr. Tao, Ms. Li Rong from foreign trade, and Wang Junhong from metallurgy who I have dealt with.

Of course, Wang Junhong came here purely for the sake of appearance and had no right to speak at all.

The seats are also in the corner near the door.

However, as I said before, only the top leaders can come.

How many people can't enter this house?

His coming here represents a certain identity.

But when he heard the name mentioned by the leader, he immediately opened his mouth in disbelief.

Yang Xiaotao?
Yang Xiaotao from Red Star Machinery Factory?
That guy is about the same age as his son.

Why, why was he nominated?
Even though the nomination may not be approved now, anyone who is nominated will most likely enter the leadership of the nine departments.

This kid is indeed not an ordinary person.

This time it’s going to soar into the sky.

Everyone was silent, but the old man who had just spoken put down his handkerchief, took a sip of the water in the cup, put it down and said, "I also have three reasons."

Everyone became interested again after hearing this.

It seems like there are quite a lot of these in groups of three.

"One is that Comrade Yang Xiaotao is very young."

"I think we need to give young people opportunities and we also need the drive from young people."

"Second, Comrade Yang Xiaotao's ability."

"I have learned some information. He has brought an ordinary steel mill to its current state by himself. This is enough to show his ability."

"Besides, he also deserves half the credit for this incident."

Having said that, the old man glanced at Mr. Peng beside him, and the latter nodded in agreement.

But in his heart, Peng always felt that it was still a means or a conspiracy.

"The third point is what I want to say the most."

The old man coughed again, "I think Comrade Yang Xiaotao has the potential and the luck."

President Peng's eyes widened. This was the second time he had shown this expression today, and it was to the same person.

If the person in front of him was not an acquaintance of many years, he would be sure that it was him, and he would really want to go up and pull open his clothes to see if it was him underneath.

As far as I can remember, he never said such words before.

When did the word luck appear in his mouth?
Mr. Peng felt incredible.

Many people around also looked puzzled.

Some people even whispered that they did not understand what the third article meant.

However, the thin old man narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of approval in his look.

Because he also discovered a fact, that is, anything that Yang Xiaotao participated in was nothing that could not be accomplished or done poorly.

It’s just a matter of time.

He had doubts at first, but after some investigation, there was no problem.

Therefore, apart from attributing his success to Yang Xiaotao's efforts, he could only shift the blame to luck.

Just like when he cultivated high-yield corn, the answer he got was that Yang Xiaotao was lucky to find the one in ten million parent copy. With this kind of probability, if you don't say you're lucky, then no one is lucky.

At the same time, everyone who had interacted with Yang Xiaotao was silent.

Because when they were dealing with Yang Xiaotao, the most common thing they said in private was, this guy is so lucky, this guy is so lucky.
When the old man said this, they realized that good luck is the greatest ability.

In an instant, this group of materialists began to believe in the concept of luck, and they were a group of very important people.

If people outside knew about this, there would probably be a huge uproar!
"That's my reason!"

The old man spoke again, but he was coughing even more violently because he had just said a lot of words.

The moment the handkerchief was taken back, President Peng's face changed, and there was a hint of red on the blue and white handkerchief.

Mr. Peng was about to speak, but the old man shook his head, "It's an old problem! It's not a big deal!"

Mr. Peng breathed steadily, with a look of reluctance in his eyes.

"I know Comrade Yang Xiaotao. This is a good suggestion!"

At this time, the tall old man at the head spoke immediately.

After saying this, the noble lady beside him nodded, "Well, I've also heard that he has made remarkable achievements in education, medical care, and epidemic prevention!"

Mr. Tao, who was not far away, had no intention of getting involved in these matters. After all, he was a big boss in charge of the agricultural department. Why would he get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry?

But if it involves Yang Xiaotao, then we have to talk about it.

For no other reason than that Yang Xiaotao helped their Ministry of Agriculture a lot.

Just because the five or six hundred million farmers across the country owe Yang Xiaotao a thank you.

What's more, Yang Xiaotao has always been from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

In this respect, they are also people from the Ministry of Agriculture.

We are the same people, so we must go!

"I think Comrade Yang Xiaotao is a responsible, capable, and very upright revolutionary comrade!"

“They are also excellent talents in our organization!”

"I think that if we don't use such talents in our organization, it would be our loss!"

Mr. Tao was very serious when he said this.

Some people around were surprised as to why Mr. Tao supported Yang Xiaotao so strongly, but after hearing what people around him said, they immediately understood that this was really a case of promoting relatives without avoiding relatives!

The thin old man at the side spoke up at this time, "Okay, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is one candidate, does anyone else nominate other comrades?"

Everyone recovered from their shock and fell silent again.

Putting aside his age, Yang Xiaotao is indeed a good candidate.

In particular, Mr. Huang had long wanted to let Yang Xiaotao take over and slowly transfer power.

However, the development of the machinery factory was beyond his expectations and it became directly affiliated with the headquarters. This also made him realize that Yang Xiaotao's future was not in the Ministry of First Machine Building.

Everything that happened afterwards has proved that Yang Xiaotao needs a higher stage.

At that time, he thought about the future situation.

I just didn't expect that it's only been a few years.

Perhaps to use what I said just now, Yang Xiaotao’s only weakness is that he is young!
At this moment, Mr. Huang is already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. With what Mr. Tao said, all he has to do is raise his hand.

After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke up, "I recommend Lao Qian from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building!"

Everyone looked and saw that it was Mr. Chen who was speaking.

Then everyone realized that Mr. Chen was the direct leader of the Red Star Machinery Factory, and that Mr. Chen's recommendation of other people was only to avoid suspicion.

Even the people around him knew that when the vote came, Mr. Chen would definitely raise his hand.

And Mr. Chen is also the best candidate to recommend other people.

We can't let Yang Xiaotao stand out alone, it would be bad if that got out.

After Mr. Chen spoke up, the people present also began to speak up.

"I recommend Comrade Wang Mingjun from the Chinese Academy of Sciences..."

"I recommend Comrade Chen Hua from the Fourth Machine-Building Department..."

One after another, seven or eight people were pushed out and their names were recorded.

When everyone fell silent again, the thin old man stood up again and said, "Well, let me report!"

"There are nine people recommended this time!"

“They are…”

After the thin old man finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

Then he continued, "Then, we will recommend candidates for a vote. Those who agree with more than half will become candidates for investigation!"

"Next, let's vote on the first recommended candidate, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

"If you agree, please raise your hands!"

As the thin old man spoke, everyone present raised their hands one after another.

Mr. Peng hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Mr. Chen raising his hand, he also raised his hand.

Li Rong saw Mr. Huang raising his hand, so he also raised his hand.

Mr. Tao, without hesitation.

Wang Junhong thought of the help in metallurgy and the help Yang Xiaotao had given him, and he also raised his hand.

On the other hand, many bigwigs in the fields of medicine, education, and national defense also raised their hands after thinking about it.

Then the thin old man recorded it quickly and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This kid can’t be suppressed this time!
"Okay, there are thirty-nine people in the audience, and thirty of them voted in favor! The vote is passed!"

"Let's vote on Comrade Qian now."

"Thirty-nine people, thirty-two votes in favor, passed!"

With the thin old man presiding, the voting went very quickly.

Basically, there is little time for people to think.

Basically, once the name is said, a vote will take place.

It mainly depends on people's first impression.

After waiting for a while, all the people finished voting, and the thin old man handed the record to the tall old man at the top.

The old man took it, looked at it carefully and nodded, "Okay, since this is everyone's common opinion, we will obey the majority!"

"Among the nine nominated candidates, five comrades in total voted for more than half of the votes."

"We will conduct a special inspection of these five people. If you have no other opinions, we will follow this charter!"

Papapa

As the tall old man made the final decision, applause broke out in the conference room.
