Chapter 687: Recommendation

I had a lot to do on the small island.

Lu Heng and Xiao Yi took over law and order of the island and removed the corrupted policemen from their ranks. Of course, their methods were ‘legal’. Everything was done in silence.

Little Uncle, Jing Tian, and Qu Hao’s people retreated to the shadows after the explosion. Everything returned to how it used to be. It was just that my identity as the island owner was made public.

The island owner was no longer the president.

The public was furious after the president’s various misdeeds had been made public. They had no choice but to hold an emergency election. They had to remove the current president and elect a new president.

Of course, a few vice presidents were among the candidates. However, they were also joined by a few of the Seven Brothers and me. Speaking of, Gu Nian had branched out on his own. However, Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu were not worried. They felt that they had the confidence to control Gu Nian.

The selection meeting had been going on for two days, and seven candidates had been selected. Today was the last day, and three more candidates needed to be selected before the election speech would begin. In the end, one of ten would become the president, and the rest would be all vice presidents.

None of the seven candidates were old faces. It showed that previous vice presidents had also lost the hearts of the people.

Seeing the new faces, Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu were not worried. I believed they had sponsored most of them.

I watched coldly from the side. I really wanted to know how Gu Nian would fight back.

There would be recommendations for the last three spots. Then the voting would begin. The candidates with the top three votes would win.

Gu Nian was the last to recommend himself. The applause was thunderous, and I clapped too.

We weren’t surprised at all, but Master Gu Er and Master Wei Wu had never expected it.

Master Gu Er said sternly, “Gu Nian! What are you doing?!”

Gu Nian smiled. “Second master, I’m qualified to participate in the election.” Gu Nian did not shy away. He turned around and faced everyone. “I am originally from a business background. Fortunately, our island has never discriminated against people with a non-political background. If I’m lucky enough to be chosen by everyone, I’ll do my best to serve the island for the rest of my life.”

Master Wei Wu sneered. “Don’t be naive. Every candidate here has a solid foundation of funds. What about you? Do you have any?”

Gu Nian said lightly, “Master Wu, you should already know that answer. Master Gu Er, is my marriage with Lu Yan still valid?”

Master Gu Er was stunned. How was he going to answer this question?

Gu Nian’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Master Gu Er said in a low voice, “Of course it’s valid.”

“Okay then,” Gu Nian seemed to have been waiting for this answer. He turned to Master Wei Wu, “I’ll have the funds of the entire Gu Family. I believe that is enough funds, right?”

Master Gu Er was shocked. “Are you crazy?”

Master Wei Wu said, “Gu Nian, are you deliberately trying to undermine us? This is serious. Move out of the way. We can talk about this later.”

Gu Nian laughed coldly. “Do I look like I’m joking? Master Wu, do you look down on me that much? I’m not crazy. I do want to be the president. As for the deals in the background, I’m sorry, but I’m not familiar with them. Master Wei Wu, I only need the votes of the people. As for the election funds…”

He looked at Master Gu Er again. “Of course, my future father-in-law will pay for it. What are you so anxious about? The only thing the Seven Brothers doesn’t lack is money!”
