This new recruitment event came to an end with an unexpected and expected result.
At first, people thought that Yoshino was a sure winner, but Blair caught him off guard by killing Yoshino. Just when people thought that Blair was sure of victory, Yoshino killed Blair again and caught him off guard.
After two reversals, Yoshino finally won.
People gathered around Hideshi Yoshino and expressed congratulations to Hideshi Yoshino.
Xu Zhenping and Barton left first after presenting Yoshino with robes.
Only some branch members and a few general members who had voted for Yoshino were left in the conference room.
Lin Zhiming did not go to find Yoshino, but turned and walked out of the conference room because Barton gave him a wink when leaving.
At this moment, Blair walked to Lin Zhiming's side.
"How did you move here?" Blair asked, staring at Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."
"You didn't do anything? How is this possible? If you didn't do anything, how could the president give all five votes to Yoshino? This is absolutely impossible." Blair asked.
"Remember what you said to Yoshino Hideshi before? Nothing in this world is absolute. Even the people closest to you may betray you. Similarly, giving five votes to one person is also possible.
." Lin Zhiming smiled.
Blair didn't expect that Lin Zhiming would use what he said to tease him, and his face immediately darkened.
"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Lin Zhiming finished speaking and walked out of the conference room.
Not long after, Lin Zhiming came to Barton's office.
"How did you do it?" Barton sat in front of Lin Zhiming and asked with a frown.
"Authority." Lin Zhiming said.
"Authority?" Barton frowned, obviously not understanding the meaning of Lin Zhiming's words.
"Still can't figure it out?" Lin Zhiming asked.
Barton frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a long time, Barton's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "I seem to understand."
"Oh? Tell me." Lin Zhiming said.
"This time Blair got so many votes that even I was very surprised. In addition to getting his own votes, he also got votes from the American and African candidates, and even Yasuda's votes.
Gave it to Blair, who got too many votes from members and almost single-handedly influenced the recruitment of new members, which posed a huge challenge to the authority of the president! That’s why the president gave all five votes to Yoshino Hideshi,
Through such actions, the president declares his authority to everyone, right?" Barton asked.
"Absolutely." Lin Zhiming nodded and said, "The reason why the president gave out votes evenly in the past was because everyone could get tickets at that time, and there was no situation where one family was the dominant one. But this time it is different. This time
Fortunately, Hideshi Yoshino got three votes before. Otherwise, even if you and the president's votes were all given to Hideshi Yoshino, Hideshi Yoshino would not be able to win this election. By then, the authority of you and the president will be gone.
Therefore, in order to prevent such a situation from occurring, the president gave his vote to Hideshi Yoshino, personally changing the outcome of this election."
"I see!" Barton muttered to himself and nodded, then looked at Lin Zhiming and asked, "But how did you think of this? How do you think that the president will use this matter to establish himself?
authority?"
"I knew it when he suspended the meeting. Wasn't he doing this just to buy time for Yoshino? At this time, if someone comes to him and asks him to give his vote to Yoshino, as long as the reason is clear, then the president
Naturally, he gave the ticket, and in exchange for a huge favor, why wouldn't he do it?" Lin Zhiming said.
"That's why you spoke so bluntly when you went to the president! Because you already understood what the president was thinking!" Barton said.
"That's right." Lin Zhiming nodded.
"I didn't expect that you would actually understand the president's thoughts in such a short period of time. Lin Zhiming, I always thought you were just a martial artist. I didn't expect that your wisdom is beyond my imagination.
, I seem to predict that the next time the General Assembly recruits new members, you will definitely become the thirteenth General Assembly member!" Barton said.
"I don't know if it will happen in a few years. I haven't thought that far yet. Finding an opportunity to get rid of Park Taichuan is the most important thing." Lin Zhiming said.
"This matter...if you want to slow down for a while, you can!" Barton said.
"Huh? Didn't you ask me to kill him?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"Indeed, I really want him to die, but you have already cooperated with the president on this matter, and you must have gained the president's favor. As long as this favor continues, the benefits you can get in the future will be huge.
, and if you have to kill Park Taichuan, if the action is exposed, then the goodwill of the president you have finally earned will be gone, which would be a pity!" Barton said.
"So... should we kill him or not?" Lin Zhiming asked with a frown.
"Yes! It's best not to do it. We can find opportunities to kill him later, not now!" Barton said.
"What about our previous agreement?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"It still counts. I will try my best to help you become the president of the Asian branch, and I will also help you become a member of the Illuminati General Assembly in the future." Barton said.
Lin Zhiming looked at Barton, thought for a moment and then laughed.
"Mr. Barton, are you planning to drag me and Yoshino Hideshi into your faction?" Lin Zhiming said.
"That's right!" Barton nodded straightforwardly. "This election has allowed us to see many problems. Blair was able to win over so many people to vote for him. There is no guarantee that he will be able to get these people to help him with other matters in the future.
Things, I have never considered building my own faction before, because there are only so many people in the Federation, but now, I have to do it. Yoshino Hideshi is already a member of the Federation, and you are destined to be a member of the Federation in the future. If
If both of you can become my people, then I will undoubtedly have a greater say in the association, and I will no longer have to worry about being overthrown by people below me in the future."
"I understand. Let's wait to talk about these things later. At least for now, help me become the president of the Asian branch." Lin Zhiming smiled.
"I'll let someone do this. Okay, you go back first. The dinner is coming soon. You need to deepen your friendship with Mr. President tonight!" Barton said.
"Well, I'll leave first!" Lin Zhiming said, turned around and walked out of Barton's study.
At the same time, in another room.
Both Blair and Park Tai-chuan were in this room, as well as several members of the Illuminati General Assembly who voted for him.
"Why is this happening? Who can tell me why this is happening?" Blair asked excitedly, looking at the people around him.
People in Zhou Dynasty looked at each other in confusion. No one could give Blair an answer because they didn't know why the final five votes for president fell on Hideshi Yoshino.
"There is no point in asking why now." Park Taichuan said expressionlessly.
"I want to find out where I lost!" Blair said loudly.
"No matter where you lost, the result is that you have lost. There is no point in discussing other things now. Since Yoshino Hideshi has become a new member of the Illuminati Federation, congratulations to him." Park Taichuan said.
"Mr. Park, are you really giving up like this?" Blair asked unwillingly.
"Actually, I already know roughly why you lost." Park Taichuan said.
"Why?" Blair asked.
"You may lose because you are in the limelight." Park Taichuan said.
"Too much limelight??" Blair frowned.
"That's right, you took away all the votes that everyone thought would be given to the candidates from America and Africa, and even took away the votes of Yasuda from the foot basin country. Such a move may make the president feel threatened.
Or the president was dissatisfied, so the president gave all his votes to Yoshino Hideshi to express his dissatisfaction," Park Taichuan said.
Blair frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Now it seems that it can only be for one reason. Damn it, I shouldn't have shown that I have a chance to win too early!"
"Now that Hideshi Yoshino has successfully joined the association, if there are no accidents, the president of the Asian branch will fall into the hands of Lin Zhiming. This... is also a troublesome matter." Park Taichuan said.
"Lin Zhiming? That guy is quite capable! I heard that the last time Patton was attacked, it was Lin Zhiming who rescued Barton, so Barton and Lin Zhiming are considered to be on the same boat." Blair said seriously.
.
"Yes." Park Taichuan nodded, stood up and said, "Today's dinner will be held soon. We'll see what happens then."
"Okay!" Others nodded, then stood up and left.
At this time, Lin Zhiming had already brought Alice back to his room.
"Are you going to the dinner party later?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"Go!" Alice nodded and said, "As your personal robot, I can't stay too far away from you."
"Then help me give this photo to Park Taichuan." Lin Zhiming took out a photo from his body and handed it to Alice.
Alice took a look and found that it was a photo of Jin Minyu.
"Do you need me to say anything?" Alice asked.
"Just say this is what I asked you to give him." Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay!" Alice nodded and put the photo away.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Night falls.
Lin Zhiming received the notice that tonight's dinner was about to begin.
Lin Zhiming packed up his clothes, left his room with Alice, and walked to the banquet hall.
