Chapter 875: Raise Your Hand to Vote
This time, she was alone because Xie Ruoyun had changed her mind at the last minute to participate in the assessment. This was because the members of the Xie family had already been divided into groups a week ago.
Just as the few of them were talking, Xie Ruoyun walked over from afar. Unlike when she was wearing a white coat in the laboratory that day, Xie Ruoyun was wearing a white tight T-shirt that exposed her navel. She was wearing a pair of field utility fingerless gloves and a pair of camouflage pants. The back of her head was tied into a high bun, looking beautiful and valiant!
After Xie Ruoyun walked in, she saw Little Wu grabbing Xie Shihao’s wrist with one hand. A hint of surprise flashed across her charming eyes. She had heard what Little Wu said just now, so she asked, “Little Wu, you want Young Master to join too?”
Hearing her question, Little Wu nodded directly, her expression still firm. Xie Ba took a deep breath and said speechlessly, “Little Wu, you, sigh…”
Xie Ruoyun’s beautiful eyes scanned Xie Shihao again. Then, she smiled and said, “Congratulations, Young Master. Your taste is really good. You actually chose this group. With the help of Little Wu, Xie Ba, Xie Si, and Xie Jiu, your results in the team competition of this assessment won’t be at the bottom.”
Little Wu, Xie Ba, Xie Si, and Xie Jiu were all quite strong. Many people even called them the seeded contestants for the Sacred Island assessment. This time, the four of them formed a team. As long as they found anyone who wasn’t too useless, they would definitely be able to crush any group of opponents with outstanding results and easily obtain first place in the team competition. In everyone’s opinion, Xie Ruoyun was undoubtedly the best candidate for the final spot. If Xie Shihao, who was always the last in the assessment every year, joined this team, it was very likely that they wouldn’t be able to obtain first place because of him alone. Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew that Xie Shihao was undoubtedly that useless person.
If Xie Shihao was really allowed to enter, his results in the team competition would definitely be at the top. However, Xie Ba and the rest would be pulled down. This was something they didn’t want to see.
Xie Ruoyun said, “Actually, it’s like this. I also wanted to participate in the Sacred Island assessment at the last minute, but if Young Master wants to join this group, I definitely won’t fight with you for this spot because I can understand your mood to achieve good results. After all, you were always the last in the past. With such a good opportunity, you naturally want to hold your head high.”
As she spoke, Xie Ruoyun subconsciously took a step back and used her actions to express that she wouldn’t fight for the spot. She wasn’t playing hard to get, nor was she scheming. Instead, she was thinking from the bottom of her heart that she was willing to give the spot to Xie Shihao.
At this moment, Xie Ba said, “Why don’t we do this? Since Ruoyun and Young Master want to join this group, for the sake of fairness, the four of us will vote for who to enter this group.” Speaking up to this point, Xie Ba did not care if everyone agreed or not. He directly raised his hand and said, “Those who hoped for Young Master to join our team. Please raise your hands!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Little Wu raised her hand, but Xie Si and Xie Jiu did not raise their hands. Xie Ba nodded and continued, “Then those who hoped for Ruoyun to join, please raise your hand.”
The next second, apart from Little Wu, everyone else raised their hands. Seeing this scene, Xie Ba revealed a satisfied expression. Hence, he said, “According to the agreement just now, those who have more votes will join this group, so Xie Ruoyun will be the one to join in the end. Young Master, I can only say that I’m sorry. If no group is really willing to accept you, you can go to the competition statistics department to explain the situation and let them arrange a team for you to participate in the competition. By the way, I heard that there are many people from the logistics department who are participating in the examination this year. You can also look for them to form a team.”
To put it nicely, the so-called logistics department was called logistics in a nicer term. To put it bluntly, it was actually the backup personnel or service personnel. In the past years, Xie Shihao had also formed a team with the personnel of the logistics department for the assessment. The members of the logistics department were usually mainly responsible for all sorts of miscellaneous work, so most of their work was dirty and tiring. They basically had no chance to train. It was already good enough that one or two experts appeared occasionally, so even if the results of the logistics department were at the bottom every year, they would not be eliminated and expelled. After all, if they were fired, who would do the dirty work? As for why the logistics department still had to participate in the assessment, it was mainly to let them take this opportunity to see the strength of the other departments. After they saw the difference, they could do the logistics work in peace.
