Goodness, even the leaders above were applauding, so those competing below didn't dare to fall behind. And just like that, the bizarre exhibition hall was filled with applause.

Although no one knew the meaning of the applause, was it because Lin Fan's words just now sounded like a speech and were very inspiring?

After the applause subsided, the leader raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Then he looked at Lin Fan and smiled, "The purpose of our government is to help more people live a better life."

"The significance of government support for enterprises lies in this: the hope is that enterprises will drive the local economy and improve the lives of local people."

"Although you are young, what you said is in line with our government's policies. You should work hard in the future and not give up easily just because you are young or lack experience."

"Young people must dare to take risks and fight hard."

The one speaking was naturally the deputy leader.

Lin Fan's face naturally showed a somewhat complicated and inscrutable expression as he expressed his gratitude to the deputy leader.

The summit then continued, but at this point all the entrepreneurs from Liangshan County looked somewhat worried.

This is the first time a leader has come out and spoken to the candidates who came to run for office today.

Although the leader did not explicitly express support for Lin Fan, this was tantamount to sending a signal.

Even the leader sitting in the very center is so supportive of Lin Fan, so what about the rest of them? Do they still have a chance?

The expressions on Ye Fuhai and Wang Shuping's faces also froze at this moment.

Before Lin Fan's speech, they had always treated him as a joke, but when the deputy leader stood up and encouraged Lin Fan, they realized something was wrong.

What exactly happened? Was the leader truly moved by Lin Fan's words and merely offering verbal encouragement, or was he actually going to vote for him?

If it's the latter, then the situation is not good. If even the top leader votes for Lin Fan, then other leaders in the leadership circle who firmly follow the top leader will also vote for Lin Fan.

In that case, his three votes are not so safe.

But why is that? He admitted that Lin Fan's words were indeed inspiring, but they weren't giving a speech; they were competing in a practical way.

From the perspective of enterprise development and economic strength, Lin Fan doesn't even qualify to enter this place, let alone obtain a government support quota.

Why did that leader treat him differently?

Before they could even think about the answer, one person after another spoke, and soon it was Ye Fuhai's and Wang Shuping's turn.

Ye Fuhai stood up and, following suit, introduced the Ye family's situation, which earned him nods of approval from many of the leaders above.

The Ye family is doing a very good job, and their development plan is also very clear. They intend to open another factory in the provincial capital and hire workers from Liangshan County, which would benefit the people's livelihood.

To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Fan, this spot might have really gone to Ye Fuhai today, but there are no "what ifs" in this world.

Soon after the last company from Liangshan County finished its presentation, the voting began.

Each time a name is read aloud, the leaders will choose whether or not to cast their precious vote for that company.

As before, the vast majority of people were just there to make up the numbers; no leader would choose them.

When Ye Fuhai's name was called, three leaders in the stands raised their placards, indicating that they all agreed to make Ye Fuhai's company a recipient of government support in Liangshan County.

Seeing this, Ye Fuhai finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, his arrangements hadn't gone wrong, and his efforts hadn't been in vain.

There are two pieces of news, one good and one bad. The good news is that he is currently the only enterprise in Liangshan County to receive votes, and he also has the highest number of votes, with a total of three votes.

The bad news is that none of the remaining seven leaders voted, and if anyone gets more than three votes, he loses.

Judging from his performance just now, the person most likely to surpass him has become a joke in his eyes... Lin Fan!

"Next up is the Lin Group, with Lin Fan as the legal representative. Please vote!"

Whether by coincidence or for some other reason, after the Ye family had been chosen, it was Lin Fan's turn to vote.

As the female host finished speaking, the deputy leader was the first to raise his sign in the stands, followed by the second, the third... until the sixth leader raised his sign, and the election finally ended.

In other words, six out of the remaining seven leaders directly chose Lin Fan, so the election in Liangshan County could be concluded immediately.

Lin Fan received more than half of the votes, so there was no point in the others participating anymore, and the last leader's vote was also unimportant.

So far, Lin Fan has become the only person to receive more than half of the votes during the election process.

"What's up with this kid from Liangshan County?"

"Is there... could there be something fishy going on here?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? A shady deal? This kid probably couldn't even come up with much money to bribe the higher-ups. Does he even have the power to pull off a shady deal?"

"Exactly, exactly. To be honest, I spent a full 300,000 yuan, plus two cases of Moutai liquor, to get a vote. If this kid had that kind of ability, he could have pulled strings with six leaders at the same time. Would he even need to participate in the election?"

The once quiet summit venue suddenly became noisy.

Ye Fuhai and Wang Shuping, sitting in the back, had completely lost their minds.

The host's words were still echoing in their minds.

"The Lin family has won the election!"

He succeeded? Lin Fan succeeded?

This means they failed.

Not only did they lose this excellent opportunity, but the effort they put into getting in touch with those three leaders was also essentially wasted.

How could this be? How is this possible? Why would six leaders support him? What's so great about Lin Fan?

To be honest, if Ye Fuhai didn't know Lin Fan's background clearly, he would have even thought that this guy was the illegitimate son of the leader in the middle.

Otherwise, why would that middle leader surnamed Fu give him such strong support?

The summit continues, but for companies that have already been elected, the summit is essentially over. All that's left to do is wait until all the elections are completed before they can leave.

Lin Shuying sat next to Lin Fan, her face flushed with excitement. She excitedly grabbed Lin Fan's arm and said happily, "Honey, we really succeeded! How did you do it? Why did so many leaders support us?"
