Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan was slightly surprised by this result. In his opinion, Quan Zhengzhi should have won this round. However, he was defeated by Leng Shiqi, who was a junior.
He said, "Liu Xingzhi won the merit competition.
Next, it will be everyone's turn to vote. Manager Hai, you guys go first. "
There was no need to talk about who the three managers would vote for. The second round was for people above the rank of inspector to vote. These three managers' biggest role was to canvass for votes at the end.
Manager Hai stood up and bowed slightly to Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan, then said, "I vote for Deputy Manager Xu Weiran. He has the highest seniority, and there is no need to doubt his ability.
Not to mention that he was the Patrol Envoy for many years, ensuring the safety of one side. Later, he entered the headquarters of the Dark Thunder Guards and made outstanding contributions. He was also cautious and conscientious when he became the Deputy Manager. He has never failed in any of the cases he handled.
Furthermore, he also participated in the election of the Four Great Managers last time. In the end, he was just a hair's breadth away. I only want to say four words, who else but him? "
Shentu Zhen immediately said, "I don't think so. I admit that Xu Weiran was indeed admirable in the past. Back then, I won against him because of luck.
However, everyone could see that he only had a few tens of thousands of merit points in the past year. This was a little too unreasonable.
However, Quan Zhengzhi is different. Even though he doesn't have as many merit points as Liu Xingzhi, Quan Zhengzhi's merit points are never less than 150,000. Even I can't guarantee that he can achieve this!
Furthermore, what is the most important thing for a Dark Thunder Guard?
That is to absolutely obey the rules of the Dark Thunder Guards, to obey the commander!
Everyone here knows Quan Zhengzhi's character very well. He has always been fair in handling matters. He has never cheated for personal gains. If such a person doesn't become one of the Four Great Managers, who else is qualified? "
Finally, it was Eunuch Gao's turn. He was no longer half lying on the chair. Leng Shiqi had won the first round. Regardless of the final result, at least he had won back some face. This made Eunuch Gao very satisfied.
He said leisurely, "Let's cut to the chase. Liu Xingzhi's merit points are enough to explain everything. Who among you can get more than 200,000 merit points in one year with the cultivation of Gang Spirit Realm?"
He looked around, but no one dared to meet his gaze. Eunuch Gao returned to his seat and didn't say another word.
He did not say much, but the effect was very good. No one present could do what Leng Shiqi did. This showed the uniqueness and power of Leng Shiqi, as well as his terrifying potential!
Steward Hai, Steward Shentu, and Eunuch Gao's words could be said to be more persuasive. Leng Shiqi and the other two indeed had their most praiseworthy sides. Now, it was up to the others to choose.
The only difference was that the others were elected anonymously, which meant that they would vote.
Furthermore, the number of votes given to each position was also different. The Inspector only had one vote, the Eunuch had two votes, and the Deputy General Manager had three votes.
Starting from the Deputy General Manager, everyone stepped forward one after another to vote. Although the process was hidden, everyone knew who had roped them in.
As such, the corners of Xu Weiran's mouth began to curl up. Compared to Quan Zhengzhi and Leng Shiqi, he had a huge advantage in this aspect!
The voting process was very fast. It was over in about 15 minutes. Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan stood up and said, "The results are here. However, this is only the result of the first two rounds. It is only for reference. As for who will be the fourth Grand Manager, it is still up to His Majesty to decide."
Then, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan entered the palace to meet His Majesty. However, no one left. They were all here to witness the birth of the new Grand Manager.
Leng Shiqi won the first round of the merit points competition. If there were no surprises in the second round, Xu Weiran would win. This made it seem like Quan Zhengzhi had the least hope!
Shentu Zhen's expression did not look too good. He also felt a little aggrieved for Quan Zhengzhi.
Quan Zhengzhi had never been greedy for riches and pleasure. He had always been on the frontlines of danger. If he lost to Xu Weiran, then so be it. However, if he lost to Leng Shiqi, then it would be too much of a loss.
Everyone else was also discussing. As the subject of discussion, Leng Shiqi was very calm. He even closed his eyes to rest.
Eunuch Gao glanced at him and closed his eyes as well. The two of them did not seem to fit in at all.
On the other side, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan reported the results to Lei Chengjun. Then, he retreated outside the palace to await his orders.
As the commander of the Dark Lightning Guards, he could not interfere too much with the appointment of the four Grand Managers. Otherwise, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan would not have allowed Li Juecheng to become one of the four Grand Managers.
This was a method used by the royal family to prevent the Dark Lightning Guards from becoming a one-man show. The previous four Grand Managers included Eunuch Gao from the palace and Shentu Zhen, who had a military background.
In the palace, Lei Chengjun looked at Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan's report. When he saw Xu Weiran and Quan Zhengzhi's information, he was very casual. However, when he read Leng Shiqi's report, he read it very carefully.
Then, he passed the report to Eunuch Du, who was waiting beside him. "Little Du, who do you think is more suitable for the four Grand Managers?"
Eunuch Du smiled flatteringly and said carefully, "I do not dare to say anything. I just feel that Xu Weiran and Quan Zhengzhi are more suitable."
"Why?"
Eunuch Du chose his words carefully. "After all, Liu Xingzhi's experience is still shallow, and his cultivation base is still insufficient. Moreover, when he snatched the Heavenly Thunderfire Bead in Void Scar Sky, it shows that he is bold and reckless, and somewhat young and frivolous.
However, the second son is indeed a promising talent. If he is polished for a few more years, he may have the qualifications. "
"Arrogant …" Lei Chengjun said in a voice that only he could hear. Then, he personally wrote an imperial edict and said, "Go directly to the Dark Lightning Guards and announce the edict."
Eunuch Du was stunned when he saw the name on the imperial edict. He raised his head in surprise and met Lei Chengjun's sharp gaze. He immediately knelt down and said, "I will go now."
Outside, Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan saw Eunuch Du walk out. Just as he was about to ask, Eunuch Du gestured for him to keep quiet and rushed to the headquarters of the Dark Lightning Guards at the fastest speed.
At this moment, the meeting hall was quite lively. When Heavenly Venerable Hei Yan and Eunuch Du arrived, everyone hurriedly went up to greet them. They knew that the result was out.
Eunuch Du took out the imperial edict and shouted with a sharp voice, "By the will of the heavens, the Emperor decrees: The Deputy Grand Manager of the Dark Lightning Guards, the Great Supervisor of the Western Wilderness Province, Liu Xingzhi, is appointed as the new Grand Manager of the Dark Lightning Guards!
End of the edict. "
After he finished reading the imperial edict, the entire meeting hall instantly fell into a dead silence. Everyone had an expression of disbelief!
