Take Along A Spring

It had been half a year, yet Poplar Gully had elected Director of Village Committee for a second time. This kind of phenomenon was very rare in the rural areas, unless the original Director of Village Committee had fallen off his horse or was severely ill, it was normal for him to be able to stand for a long time.    

The chairman, vice-chairmen and members of a villagers committee shall be elected directly by the villagers. No organization or individual may designate, appoint or replace members of villagers' committees.    

The term of office of the villagers' committee shall be three years, and new elections shall be held at the expiry of the term. Members of villagers committees may be re-elected.    

The reason why the second Director of Village Committee election was held in such a short time was because Director of Village Committee and Yang Ren, who were elected last time, were going to become the village branch.    

According to the regulations, the term of office of the Party's grassroots committees is three to five years per year, and that of the general branch committees and branch committees is two or three years per year. After the election of the secretaries and deputy secretaries of the grassroots committees, the general branch committees and the branch committees, they shall report to the Party organizations at the next higher level for approval.    

For some reason, Yang Ren was so confused that he wanted to become a subsidiary and said that he had already passed the elections for the Poplar Gully Branch and was now reporting to the upper level division, waiting for the higher level department's approval.    

However, as for what exactly happened, the villagers of Poplar Gully were also not clear about it. Only a few people who were more knowledgeable heard about it, and it seemed that Yang Ren and Alcalde Chen were very close recently.    

Yang Sanmao had asked Yang Fann if he wanted to run for Director of Village Committee, the village chief. He felt that if Yang Fann became the village chief, it would be helpful to the development of the Jade Spring Mountain Villa. If Yang Fann was the village chief, the last time Yang Tieliang had tried to seize the Jade Spring Mountain Villa, it would definitely not have happened.    

After the incident with Yang Tieliang, Yang Fann had also reflected on whether or not he would be the one fighting against Jade Spring Mountain Villa if he had listened to Yang Sanmao's suggestion and successfully ran for Village Head.    

The answer was not necessarily, whether or not Yang Tieliang would act like a Jade Spring Mountain Villa expert or not did not depend on whether or not Yang Fann was the village chief. Rather, it was about how greedy Yang Tieliang was and how attractive Jade Spring Mountain Villa was to Poplar Gully practitioners.    

From another point of view, if Yang Fann was the village head, then Yang Tieliang could use the big hat that would benefit the entire Poplar Gully's villagers to suppress him. Moreover, it was so oppressive that Yang Fann couldn't control his temper.    

Therefore, in order to not be restrained by the so-called system and morality, Yang Fann still decided not to run for the throne, even his father, Yang Xiangdong, could not go. As long as he was not related to the system, no one could use the so-called moral banner to compel him.    

If Yang Sanmao could become the village chief, it would definitely help the development of Jade Spring Mountain Villa. At the very least, it would give the Jade Spring Mountain Villa a certain degree of authority, and not worry about people with ulterior motives asking Yang Sanmao to do something that would harm Jade Spring Mountain Villa.    

However, when he thought about it again, Yang Fann gave up on his idea of letting Yang Sanmao run for Director of Village Committee. There was no other option for him.    

Not to mention Yang Sanmao, even he, Yang Fann, might not be able to pick Director of Village Committee.    

If it was before Yang Tieliang made a move on Jade Spring Mountain Villa, it would have been too easy for Yang Fann to become the village chief. At that time, all the employees of Jade Spring Mountain Villa came from Poplar Gully, and in addition to their families and relatives, Yang Fann could easily gather enough votes.    

However, ever since some ambitious employees started following Yang Tieliang and calculating the Jade Spring Mountain Villa, the proportion of Poplar Gully members among the Jade Spring Mountain Villa employees became very small. And those villagers who had once had ideas on Jade Spring Mountain Villa, for some unspeakable reasons, or because they were afraid of Yang Fann's revenge, would definitely think of ways to stop Yang Fann from becoming the village chief.    

No matter how powerful Yang Fann was, he was still just an ordinary villager. However, when he became the village head, he would be different. A village head, and a very wealthy and powerful village head, if he wanted to take revenge on the villagers, the consequences would be unbearable for anyone!    

Therefore, after considering it over and over again, Yang Fann decided not to participate in the election anymore. Not only could he not go with his father, but it was best not to go with Yang Sanmao as well.    

In the rural areas, sometimes face is very important. Without face, everything will become very troublesome.    

Of course, if Yang Fann was willing to spend money to buy votes for the villagers, like in some rural elections, Yang Sanmao would definitely be elected.    

But Yang Fann would not do that. Regardless of whether their own village head would benefit the Jade Spring Mountain Villa or not, Yang Fann would not bribe the voters to make Yang Sanmao take the position.    

It was just that he didn't like it.    

Yang Fann did not want to become a capitalist that would resort to any means to earn money, and he also disdained to achieve his goals through those disgraceful actions. Of course, the so-called disgrace was what Yang Fann considered to be disgrace.    

Even the Western countries, which often declared themselves to be impartial, did not really realize the so-called rule of law. Their so-called rule of law was only the rule of law for a few rulers against the vast majority of working people. If they were to do the opposite, then the vast majority of working people would simply not be able to enforce the rule of law against a few rulers.    

For example, opening casinos is legal in many Western countries and is protected by the government.    

However, opening a casino was morally untenable. How many people had their families ruined, their wives destroyed, and their families ruined by gambling? Was this the so-called rule of law?    

Therefore, Yang Fann had a set of standards for good and evil. Without breaking his moral bottom line, Yang Fann didn't care how awesome those guys in legal clothing were, he would still take care of them if he pissed them off!    

For example, the Night Paradise was a well-known enterprise. If one did not understand it, who would know that there was a dirty gambling den hidden under the Night Paradise.    

Yang Fann wanted to beat up these people who wore fiber-optic clothing, but in reality, they were extremely dirty. Even if they had to make some small mistakes, they wouldn't care at all!    

Therefore, Yang Fann simply dispelled the idea of letting Yang Sanmao run for the position of Director of Village Committee. Yang Sanmao should just obediently become his Jade Spring Mountain Villa President's Assistant and Office Director. If he didn't manage to win the election, then not only would he lose Yang Sanmao's people, he would also lose his Jade Spring Mountain Villa and Yang Fann's people.    

Rather than being pushed around the reception desk like a puppet, it was better to be able to stand backstage and be full of energy!
