My Lustful Aunt | Chapter 774 Old Master Li Arrives

"Old Li, are you here for the leadership transition?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

Secretary Li simply drank his tea without answering.

Yu Fei shifted slightly, stood up gracefully, and said, "I'm going to the restroom, excuse me." Then she walked away with an air of nonchalance.

Watching Yu Fei's retreating figure, Old Li said meaningfully, "You're lucky, young man. This girl is quite something."

Ye Fan smiled wryly, "Please just say what you have to say." Although he trusted Yu Fei, Old Li had only just met her, and there were some things he couldn't say in front of her. Ye Fan understood this perfectly.

Old Li straightened his posture and said seriously, "Originally, I wasn't qualified to participate in this leadership transition, but several people with exceptional status within the system joined forces to recommend me, which allowed me to come to Beijing..."

"Who?" Ye Fan keenly sensed something.

"Several, including members of the Ye family and the Yan family," Old Li said meaningfully, "They all wanted to win me over and then vote for their own interests."

No wonder! Ye Fan suddenly realized, but then immediately thought of something and asked curiously, "If I remember correctly, today is only the second day of the election. As a member with voting rights, how come you have time to come out for tea?"

This was clearly illogical.

Old Li chuckled and said, "You would never guess that although the election officially lasts five days, it's actually already over!"

"What? Over?" Ye Fan was truly astonished this time.

Usually, each election lasts five days, after which the judging committee announces the results, and then various media outlets rush to report on them. Why did this year's election end on only the second day?

Ye Fan asked the question that had been on his mind.

Old Li replied, "In fact, on the first day of the election, I already had a premonition that this year's election would end early, and as it turned out, it did."

"Is there some kind of trickery involved?" Ye Fan was utterly puzzled.

"Indeed! This is big news this year. Such a result usually has one explanation: one side won the election with an overwhelming majority of votes. In other words, the voting results can be effective immediately without the approval of the judging committee!"

Sure enough! Ye Fan downed his tea in one gulp. "If I'm not mistaken, the biggest winner in this election is the Yan family, right?"

The Ye family is embroiled in internal strife, and with Old Master Ye recently passing away, those within the Ye family system are still unsure of the direction and would certainly not act rashly. The Chen family generally doesn't concern themselves with politics and is unlikely to make any moves. Therefore, the only one capable of winning the votes overwhelmingly is the Yan family!

"Indeed," said Old Li. "The Yan family is indeed the biggest winner this time. They've moved almost all the positions they wanted to fill. From the beginning, they entered the venue with a forceful stance. Their people suddenly launched an attack, and by the time the judges realized it, it was too late."

Through Old Li, Ye Fan learned about the major events that had occurred in this election.

The Yan family swiftly controlled the meeting, with most voting for their chosen candidate. Yan Wuque was appointed Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army Group, and the Ninth Column was instantly integrated into the system, becoming a special forces unit capable of challenging the "Dragon Fang," directly led by Yan Wuque. In other words, nominally belonging to the state, it was effectively his private army!

This was unprecedented in the Empire. Previously, the military had been controlled by the Ye family; now, the Yan family had infiltrated, securing the crucial position of Chief of Staff of the Army Group.

Even more perplexing was that Yan Wuque had no prior military experience, at most serving as the captain of the Ninth Column—a completely unrelated role.

Normally, such a proposal would be rejected without a fight, but this Chief of Staff candidate was nominated by Wu Tianying, the Army Group Commander, and received a high vote of four-fifths—a landslide victory!

The Empire had a rule that a two-thirds majority was sufficient for direct appointment and removal, bypassing the review committee.

Afterwards, some astute observers analyzed that the Yan family had unknowingly gained control of the Empire's election committee. The fact that so many committee members sided with the Yan family indicated that they had been cultivating relationships for years, even longer, in preparation for this reshuffle!

The Yan family's cunning was truly astounding!

Besides the Yan family, there were some changes among others, but not significant. Ye Qingcheng officially joined Dragon Fang as vice-captain, while He Liang, for unknown reasons, was nowhere to be seen, reportedly having left Dragon Fang.

Dragon Girl continued as captain of Dragon Fang, and her proposal at the meeting to bring Ye Fan back to Dragon Fang received majority support; the Yan family faction was powerless to oppose it.

During this reshuffle, a power struggle and conflict of interest, unprecedented in over a century, emerged.

The Chen family and the Yan family argued for a long time over the position of Youth League Committee member. The Yan family wanted to remove Chen Ming from the position of Youth League Committee leader and replace him with their own person. However, although the Chen family hadn't focused on politics in recent years, they weren't inconspicuous; as the leading family in the North, they naturally possessed exceptional abilities.

The judges present all sided with the Chen family. Although the Yan family held the majority of the voting power, such a prestigious position still required discussion by the judges. If it were included in the process, the result of the discussion would certainly not pass. Therefore, they did not insist on this matter.

However, this direct conflict between the Yan and Chen families sent a signal to other families in the empire. Had the Yan family decided to wage war against other families?

After listening, Ye Fan felt that it was all bark and no bite. After so much preparation and such a highly anticipated election, it ended so hastily?

Yan family, I underestimated you...

Fortunately, most of the people in the Ye family's Xiu lineage did not move. Although Ye Qingcheng entered the Dragon Fang, she retained her position as regimental commander, which was equivalent to a promotion. The Ye family did not suffer too much loss.

During this election, Ye Fan paid special attention to one person: whether the commander of the Imperial Army Group would be moved.

As he expected, Wu Tianying did not participate in the election at all, but his position was as solid as a rock. Surprisingly, no one present questioned his ability!

This Wu Tianying is quite a character…

“So, which department have you been promoted to?” Ye Fan suddenly asked with a grin.

“The People’s Congress,” Old Li replied with a smile.

Generally speaking, the People’s Congress is a position awaiting retirement, and people usually go to these kinds of places, which is understandable.

However, the People’s Congress clearly doesn’t have as much power as the top official in Linhai. But Old Li is getting old, and it’s time for him to rest. Besides, the People’s Congress in Beijing is a level higher than the top official in Linhai, so it can be considered a promotion.

“You should also take a good rest, and it’s a promotion, congratulations,” Ye Fan chuckled. He now has another powerful card to play when he comes to Beijing. Although the top position in the People’s Congress doesn’t have much real power, the rank is there. Suddenly, Ye Fan thought of something and asked, “Now that you’ve come to Linhai, who will take over your position there?”
