Chapter 1568 - Mo Xicheng Reinstated (41)

Chapter 1568: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (41) Gao Feng nodded to the secretary and pointed to the side. He instructed,
You may do your counting there.

They assigned three people to call out the names on the voting slips during the counting so that there was no cheating.
Then they got someone else to draw a line for each vote received. This was how they had counted votes when choosing a class representative in school.
No one objected to this arrangement.
Because there were multiple people checking, there was no faking. Hence, the secretaries started to proclaim the results.
Mo Zhi’s staff was seated on the left, the same area where the secretaries had started collecting the votes. Hence, the first 15 consecutive votes were all for Mo Zhi.

Mo Zhi.

Another vote.
Mo Zhi already had 16 votes, but Mo Xicheng still had none.
Mo Zhi smirked as he looked at Mo Xicheng with a taunting expression in his eyes. Then he approached Mo Xicheng and leaned on him, saying,
I say, Mo Xicheng, did you really think the company would give you the fair treatment you’re looking for?! Look at the gap in the voting numbers, how are you going to catch up to me? You don’t even have a single vote yet. What if you don’t even get a single vote? Are you going to cry?

Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He had taken notice of the order by which the votes had been announced and then matched them to the seating positions. At once, he understood.
The moment Mo Zhi said those words, someone called out,
Mo Xicheng!

Finally, Mo Xicheng had one vote.
Mo Zhi froze.
The other man was already saying,
I’m sorry, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be crying after all.

Mo Zhi was speechless with anger. He snorted after a moment and said,
Well, that’s only one vote, isn’t it? How will you possibly catch up with such a big gap?!

Upon these words, another person exclaimed:

Mo Xicheng!

Another slap to his face.
Mo Zhi turned angrily to glare at the person reading out the name. He couldn’t help himself from saying,
Well, maybe people pity you and gave you two votes to save you from being pathetically embarrassed!

Then it continued.

Mo Xicheng!

In an instant, the score became 16:3.
Mo Zhi took a deep breath and frowned.
But fortunately, the next name was:

Mo Zhi.

He sighed in relief.
But following this:

Mo Xicheng.


Mo Xicheng.


Mo Zhi.


Mo Xicheng.


Mo Zhi


…

Towards the end of the counting, Mo Zhi watched helplessly as Mo Xicheng slowly caught up to him. From a gap of 16 votes, the gap had dwindled to 3, with only 5 votes remaining.
Mo Zhi clenched his fist tightly, staring intently at the points. As for Mo Hai, he wore a nasty expression as well.
Following that, they heard:

Mo Zhi.


Mo Xicheng.


Mo Xicheng.


Mo Zhi.


Mo Xicheng.

After the last five votes, the people stared at the results in great surprise.
Mo Xicheng and Mo Zhi were actually tied.
Mo Zhi’s expression turned extremely ugly.
He had been in the company for so many years and Mo Xicheng had just joined, how could they be tied?!
He immediately sprang to his feet and was about to speak when Gao Feng said,
This is a stalemate. Chairman, what do we do now?!

Instantly, Mo Hai frowned.
At this point, Mo Zhi’s eyes lit up and said,
There’s one more person who hasn’t voted! My mom!
