Sometimes, even at a meeting, there would be three or four names of the committee members. This way, the selection of the committee members would not be too shabby, so at this time, the officials would often arrange for some people to come and form the numbers, which was also known as running with them, so at least the situation would not look so ugly.

Everyone had done quite well in the past, except for Xu Taiping. He was very perfunctory, and he was just studying, so he was a hundred percent sure that this person was here to accompany them.

Xu Taiping felt his balls ache. He felt that he had offended the person who produced this information in the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Otherwise, why would the other party not come to him and let him perform?

In fact, Xu Taiping was completely mistaken about the people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association. The Chinese Martial Arts Association had looked for Xu Taiping before, but Xu Taiping was on Sin Island at that time. He couldn't get through the phone and couldn't get in touch with Xu Taiping at all, so the Chinese Martial Arts Association could only write down Xu Taiping's information.

"Alright, the list of all ten alternate members has been drawn up. Next is the time for everyone to vote. First, raise your hands in support of Shen Baocai." Zhao Qingshan said.

Many people raised their hands. Of course, there were also some who didn't raise their hands.

Soon, the first person's votes were tallied and it was the second person's turn to vote.

The round of balloting proceeded very quickly because there were only two hundred or so people present. If they were to raise their hands and vote, they would be able to count the votes.

The six people in the group all had calm expressions and didn't raise their hands.

Very quickly, the voting for the nine people in front of him had ended.

"Next, the tenth candidate, Xu Taiping. Please vote for him." Zhao Qingshan said.

As Zhao Qingshan's voice faded, the scene went deathly silent.

No one actually voted for Xu Taiping.

This made Xu Taiping a bit embarrassed and a bit dissatisfied. The Chinese Martial Arts Association took the initiative to invite him to be a committee member, but they gave him a zero in the election. Wasn't this bullying too much?

At that moment, Jennifer, who was sitting beside Xu Taiping, carefully raised her hand.

It was impossible for Jennifer to raise her hand, but the staff around her did not stop Jennifer, because they felt that if Xu Taiping really did not have a single vote, it would be a pity to let the non-voting foreign woman vote for him. At least that would be a comfort!

Of the two hundred or so people present, some looked at Xu Taiping in ridicule, some looked at him indifferently, and some even looked at him with cold smiles.

No matter how these people thought of Xu Taiping, none of them raised their hands, because they knew that Xu Taiping was here to accompany them in their run. There was no point in not raising their hands.

A one-vote vote was something that was unprecedented in history. If Xu Taiping had only taken one vote, he would have definitely created history.

Not everyone disliked Xu Taiping, but many people looked forward to seeing such a record number of votes appear in their hearts.

When everyone thought that Xu Taiping would break the record and only get one vote, Zhao Qingshan, who was sitting on the group stage, slowly raised his hand.

The moment Zhao Qingshan raised his hand, everyone was shocked. And then, an even more shocking scene appeared.

As Zhao Qingshan raised his hand, Kongtong, Emei, Wu Dang, Shaolin, and the Chen family's Taiji, the five permanent members' representatives all raised their hands as well!

The six people on the platform actually all supported Xu Taiping as the new member!

In the history of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, this was definitely the only one!

There had never been anyone from the five permanent members who had voted with the six chairmen for an alternate member to become an official member, because the identities of these six people were too sensitive. Whoever they voted for meant that they were inclined towards someone, so that whatever that person did when he became a member, would have something to do with the permanent member or the chairman who voted for him.

If what they did was good, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but if what they did was bad, then more or less, the five permanent members who voted for them, or the chairman, all had their responsibilities, thus, in many cases, these six people would not directly support someone becoming a committee member, which was also why in the previous nine rounds of voting, none of them raised their hands.

These six people had not raised their hands for a long time, so long that everyone had almost forgotten that these six people also had the right to vote!

However, even after obtaining these six tickets, Xu Taiping was still a disgraceful single-digit ticket, and he could still make history.

However, no one present was an idiot.

The five permanent members and the president had expressed their support for a certain person to become a committee member. This was obvious. They were telling everyone that they would definitely let this person become a committee member. Voting for this person was just a formality!

Anyone with a brain would know what to do.

Thus, someone quickly raised his hand. Then, rows after rows of people raised their hands.

Li Juncong had yet to recover from his shock when he saw that the surroundings were already filled with hands!

Li Juncong quickly raised his hand as well.

He had never thought that Xu Taiping would actually get the support of the five great permanent members and the president. This was simply too terrifying, in all of history, there had never been a person who was able to get the full support of the five great permanent members and the president. After all, the five great permanent members weren't as strong as the others, and sometimes the alternate members would have a good relationship with the people of the Kongtong Sect.

To get the five permanent members to vote for one person at the same time as the chairman, that was something completely impossible in the past. But today, such a situation had actually occurred. What did this mean?

It meant that this man called Xu Taiping must have a shocking background!

The officials of the Chinese Martial Arts Association quickly counted the votes. They discovered that Xu Taiping had actually obtained a full vote!

No one would be so foolish as to not raise their hands when they saw the five permanent members and the guild leader reading out their opinions. For the sake of these six people, they would have to raise their hands as well!

"You actually got a full vote. You're too awesome, Xu!" Jennifer said excitedly.

"Not at all!" Xu Taiping was quite proud of himself, but he still tried his best to look calm and collected.

When Xu Taiping's last vote was over, the member vote also came to an end. After that, the officials announced their votes.

Xu Taiping didn't have any suspense. With a full vote, he became a member of the new Chinese Martial Arts Association. His name was destined to be known by many in the martial arts world along with his status as a member.

The Chinese Martial Arts Association produced a committee member certificate. Then, Xu Taiping went up to the stage with the other four people and received the committee member certificate.

The people below the stage looked at Xu Taiping. Although they all had smiles on their faces, many of them were actually wondering in their hearts: How did Xu Taiping manage to get the full support of the five permanent members and the chairman?

Was it because this Xu Taiping was very powerful? But from the looks of it, he was only in his early thirties. No matter how powerful he was, how powerful could he be?

Since it was unlikely that it was because Xu Taiping was that powerful, could it be because he had a very complicated background?

That was possible!

At this time, the news about Xu Taiping being a member of the Zhao Family spread out through the entire venue.

Everyone suddenly understood!

So it turns out that this Xu Taiping was a member of the Zhao Family. No wonder the five permanent members and the chairman supported him!

The members and the standing members of the Chinese Martial Arts Association all thought that they understood what was going on. They looked at Xu Taiping with looks of contempt.

For people of the martial arts world, even though you don't have that ability, you still received a very prestigious status. In the eyes of many people, Xu Taiping was someone who relied on his family's status to become a committee member, and the reason why he was able to become was probably because of the cooperation between the Hua Xia Martial Arts Association and the Zhao Family.

It was no wonder that the martial arts that this man had learned was written as miscellaneous knowledge. It was possible that this Xu Taiping was simply a playboy who didn't know anything, which was why he had written that.

Everyone's eyes were filled with undisguised contempt. Although they had voted for Xu Taiping to become a committee member, no one thought highly of him. Thus, during the process of obtaining a committee member's proof, a very interesting situation occurred.

When Zhao Qingshan had issued the council members' certificates to the other members other than Xu Taiping, applause and cheers broke out. However, when Zhao Qingshan had issued the council members' certificates to Xu Taiping, the scene strangely remained quiet.

No one applauded, no one cheered. Everyone looked at Xu Taiping coldly.

This made Xu Taiping feel awkward again. He felt that these people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association were too unfriendly. He didn't even steal their wives, why did they treat him like this?

With the issuance of the council members' certificates finished, Xu Taiping and the others left the stage in succession.

As he was walking down from the platform, the person behind Xu Taiping had unintentionally or unintentionally hastened his steps, directly crashing into Xu Taiping's back. At this moment, Xu Taiping was just about to descend the stairs when he suddenly lost his balance and jumped down from the stairs.

"I'm sorry, I tripped while walking!" The person who bumped into Xu Taiping said apologetically.

This person, Xu Taiping remembered, was called Shen Baocai, the member who got second place.

Seeing the tinge of provocation in his opponent's eyes, Xu Taiping smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

With that, Xu Taiping walked to the back of the venue and came to his previous position. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
