Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

After hearing the voting decision, Xu Damao quietly walked to Wang Haoran and said to him in a low voice: "Brother Haoran, you must support me later!"

Wang Haoran watched Xu Damao approach him to canvass for votes, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He thought that he and He Yushui only had two votes in total, and he was really unable to do what he wanted. So, he replied helplessly: "Even if I want to support you, we only have two votes."

Xu Damao didn't take it seriously and retorted: "How could you only have two votes? Aren't there three of you? Isn't that three votes?"

After hearing this, Wang Haoran looked at Xu Damao with a ridiculous expression and asked, "How old is Xiaoya? Are you sure you are not kidding me?"

Xu Damao looked at Wang Haoran seriously and insisted, "I'm just asking you if Xiaoya is from this yard!"

Wang Haoran was speechless at Xu Damao's ridiculous reason, but he felt it made sense. He sighed and asked, "Okay! Even if Xiaoya is included, we only have three votes. What are you going to do with the other votes?" He was very curious about how Xu Damao could find the other votes.

"You lack nothing. It's very troublesome to deal with you. But as long as we can deal with you, the others will be a piece of cake. Isn't it enough to just get some benefits?" Xu Damao said with a flattering smile on his face, staring at Wang Haoran.

"No... So I'm free and they need to be bribed. I lack everything. We have three votes, you decide which one to give! Otherwise... hehe... you know what I mean." However, Wang Haoran suddenly changed the subject and without hesitation stretched out his hands in front of Xu Damao, looking at him with a sly smile on his face.

Xu Damao was caught off guard by Wang Haoran's actions. He quickly pushed Wang Haoran's hands away, with a trace of helplessness on his face: "Brother Haoran, what are you doing? Is it necessary for our relationship to be like this?"

Wang Haoran was not moved at all. He still looked at Xu Damao seriously and said in a firm tone: "Relationships are relationships, but there must be benefits. You can give me anything, but it can't be free." It was as if he was making his principles and bottom line clear to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was so angry that he was fuming, but there was nothing he could do about Wang Haoran. He could only sigh and said, "Okay! I give up. I'll treat you to a meal one day. You said you don't mind this, so why bother?" Facing the rogue Wang Haoran in front of him, Xu Damao felt both angry and amused.

While Wang Haoran and Xu Damao were talking, the resolute Director Wang had already arranged for people to set up the venue.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet! Now, the people who have signed up to run for the new three uncles in our courtyard are Xu Damao, He Yuzhu and Ma Qiangguo. There are two stages in this election. The first stage is speaking and the second stage is voting. Who will go first?" Director Wang spoke after seeing that everyone had quieted down, and at the same time looked at the three people standing in a row.

When Wang Haoran heard Ma Qiangguo's name, he was also surprised. He never thought that the man who looked honest in daily life actually liked to fight for power.

Just when Wang Haoran was still looking at Ma Qiangguo carefully, Xu Damao suddenly stood up and interrupted his thoughts. Xu Damao shouted to Director Wang: "Director Wang, let me go first!"

"Okay, then you go first!" Director Wang replied.

Xu Damao took a few steps forward, cleared his throat, and began to speak to the people in the yard: "First of all, I'm really sorry to call you all here so late, but please rest assured, if I am lucky enough to be elected as the Third Uncle, I will definitely not be like the previous Third Uncle... Oh no, I should be called Uncle Yan now."

"I will never be like him who helps anyone who gives me some benefits, nor will I be like an old man who always takes sides. I will definitely handle things based on the principles of fairness and justice. As long as anyone needs help with anything, I will do my best to do it if I can. Even if I encounter something that I really can't do, I will find a way to help you solve the problem!" Xu Damao said with a very sincere expression.

"Good!" Director Wang led the applause, the sound was extremely loud, and then the whole yard burst into warm applause.

Xu Damao's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves, and immediately triggered the whispers of the crowd. However, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui hated him to the core, gnashing their teeth and secretly cursing this outspoken guy in their hearts.

Wang Haoran was observing all this with great interest, thinking to himself, "Xu Damao is really good at talking! His remarks actually offended Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai right away. However, judging from the reactions of others, it seems that what he said really touched everyone's heart."

In contrast, when it was Sha Zhu's turn to speak, he only said a dry sentence: "Just watch what I do." This sentence immediately attracted sighs from the crowd, and some people even stood up and laughed at him, "What else can you, Sha Zhu, do besides hitting people?" After hearing this, Sha Zhu's face became very ugly. He widened his eyes and glared at the person who laughed at him. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end he didn't say it.

Seeing that everyone was so disgusted with Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai suddenly became extremely anxious. He turned his gaze to Liu Haizhong and said earnestly: "Old Liu, when the election comes later, you must not vote for Xu Damao! Think about it, if Xu Damao becomes the third uncle, won't he be against us every day? It's more reliable to vote for Sha Zhu. Look at Sha Zhu, he is always polite to everyone, how nice!"

However, Liu Haizhong's idea was completely different from Yi Zhonghai's. He thought to himself, "How can that be possible? I think Xu Damao is pretty good." After all, Xu Damao had given him five dollars as a bribe, but Yi Zhonghai wanted to get something for nothing, which made Liu Haizhong very unhappy. What's more, that Sha Zhu has always relied on Yi Zhonghai's support, so how could he take himself seriously? If Sha Zhu became the third uncle, he would be really stupid!

"You can't say that. Although Xu Damao seems a bit sinister and cunning, you can't just label him as such." Liu Haizhong retorted. He obviously didn't want to listen to Yi Zhonghai's advice. Seeing that Liu Haizhong seemed determined to support Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai's tone became more and more firm, even with a hint of unquestionable meaning: "Old Liu, don't be fooled by Xu Damao's hypocritical face! He is a complete bastard, very bad! You can absolutely listen to my advice!"
