Well... Hong Bo had lost the vote, but Marie still needed to continue with the formalities.
The meeting was already going on too long and it was necessary to end it and continue with the progress of the project, whatever the outcome.
It would be a bit regrettable to continue with that vote knowing that the majority had already voted, but in certain battles there is nothing you can do other than accept and be a good loser.
Well, it's not like Hong Bo let it go, everyone was huffing with anger or really in disbelief at the girl's courage to say all that so clearly.
It was commendable how she didn't seem to be afraid.
"Raise your hands if you are against the construction... 2 votes out of 10..." Only Marie and Hong Bo raised their hands at this point, which was not surprising considering that the vote had already been decided a long time ago.
