When Chi Yao said as much, no one could refuse.
The voting was naturally anonymous, and the results were quickly tallied up. The votes for Chi Mu reached sixty percent of the attendees.
Chi Yao had anticipated this outcome because he had been incessantly courting these shareholders and giving them lavish gifts recently. His intention was clear: he wanted them to do him a favor and vote for Chi Mu.
Having the voting results in his hands, he immediately looked at Han Jingnian. "President Han, as you can see, the majority of the present shareholders and executives believe that Chi Mu is capable of this position. What do you think?"
Han Jingnian said nothing.
Chi Yao remained silent too, subtly signalling a particular executive with a look.
The executive instantly feigned casualness and piped up, "According to our company's longstanding rule, anyone who has been voted on by shareholders and executives is essentially confirmed."
