My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts Chapter 590 - 199: Participation Matters, Heartache2

Du Xixi, sitting in the office, leaned forward with interest. She could see the vote count displayed on the screen, which is why she found these numbers amusing.

Du Xixi’s interest wasn’t in the Ancient History Departnt, but rather the votes cast by the Iron-eating Beast, His Majesty Toso, from the Military Departnt and Architecture Departnt. According to Du Xixi’s guess, the Minister of the Military, who should lean more towards the Military Departnt, ought to allocate most of the votes to them, but the facts were entirely unexpected for everyone.

Among the ten votes from the Iron-eating Beast, four were given to the Food Departnt, two to the Art Departnt, and the remaining four to the Architecture Departnt, indicating His Majesty’s fondness for the Architecture Departnt. Although His Majesty Toso was sowhat "cold" in voting for the Food Departnt, giving only one of his ten votes to it, he showed so favoritism towards the Ancient History Departnt by giving seven votes to them, with the remaining two votes awarded to the first place Architecture Departnt.

However, the Minister of the Military took a less conventional path. He did not vote for the Architecture Departnt, nor for the Military Departnt. After casting two votes for the Food Departnt, he gave the remaining eight votes to the Art Departnt, which is why the Art Departnt surpassed the Food Departnt and ranked fourth.

The Minister of the Military definitely didn’t "favor" the Art Departnt without reason; he must have found so aspect of the Art Departnt intriguing to cast so many votes for them.

The discrepancy of four votes is sowhat regrettable, but a loss is a loss. The Food Departnt can afford to lose, and the Art Departnt can afford to win; there’s no reason to feel upset. However, Du Xixi speculated that the Military Departnt would certainly feel disappointed.

The Minister of the Military should have been an asset to the Military Departnt, but his voting behavior seed to indicate dissatisfaction with the Military Departnt, as he cast no votes for it. Not only did Du Xixi find this odd, but everyone present did as well.

The real truth might be known only to the Minister of the Military himself.

The reactions of everyone present varied, but no one would question the ranking; after all, the votes were clearly counted, and each vote’s source was transparent, leaving no room for doubt.

Upon seeing this, the school leader who announced the ranking turned serious. After the crowd quieted down, he announced solemnly, "Next, I will reveal the final grand prize of this campus cultural arts festival!"

"According to the arrangents set forth by the Ministry of Education’s docunts, our school held the campus cultural arts festival to understand campus spirit and experience the charm of different departnts. For this campus cultural arts festival’s first place, the Ministry of Education has awarded with a high degree of reward!" The school leader took a deep breath, and even though he’s accustod to witnessing major events, he couldn’t help but feel excited at this mont. "The Architecture Departnt has won first place and will receive direct investnt from the Ministry of Education, amounting to 50 million yuan!"

million yuan! This is a trendous figure! Even Du Xixi, who currently possesses a great fortune, couldn’t help but be amazed by this amount.

million yuan is enough for several Architecture Departnts to completely upgrade teaching equipnt and carry out practical teaching. It seems that the Ministry of Education has indeed made a significant investnt this ti.

Du Xixi shook her head, admitting that it was impossible not to covet 50 million yuan, but since the Food Departnt did not claim first place, no matter how tempting, she couldn’t possibly seize first place at this point.

Moreover, the Food Departnt’s teaching equipnt and all systems were recently upgraded, thanks to her beloved brother’s private investnt. The Food Departnt already possesses the most advanced teaching facilities in all-star, so obtaining 50 million yuan is rely impressive in theory but has no practical application.

Thinking this way, Du Xixi felt more at ease. She listened to the closing ceremony for a while longer and, once it ended, with the campus cultural arts festival completely over, she sighed with relief, feeling as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Fifth place... this achievent is already quite good! Du Xixi contentedly shook her head, stood up, and folded the blanket, planning to greet He Yuan when they return soon to finish her workday.

Speaking of which, she’s been busy with the campus cultural arts festival for several days, barely getting any ti to get close to Ke Lian.

Du Xixi was happily preparing to go ho after work and spend ti with Ke Lian and her family while, on the other hand, the sports field had a veteran professor from the Military Departnt discreetly intercepting the Minister of the Military, representing the Military Departnt to approach him.

They in the Military Departnt were utterly baffled as to why the Minister of the Military would rather give all extra votes to the Art Departnt, yet not allocate even a few to the Military Departnt.
