Chapter 1882 Casting Votes
When Sheila finished, she bowed earnestly. Nina was the first to clap.
Davin was a bit pissed off. She had been trying to canvass more votes during the day. Why does she have to stomp on me like this?
He countered, “What I want is to build an underground palace that’s basically a big, special entertainment zone. There’s nothing that screams bad luck about it.”
“The term underground palace has been used as an alternate name for graves in the past. Only dead people live underground, which is why it’s bad luck,” Sheila disagreed.
“How is it bad luck? I made so much money with Steven’s underground palace! Why aren’t you claiming that the money is bad luck too?”
“You only made that much money with Steven’s underground palace because you were a good salesman. Your guests gave you money because they were curious. Once the novelty wore off, no one would go to a place like that anymore. You’re a healthy man that’s still alive, Davin. Can’t you just build a place that’s under the sunlight instead of underground? Why do you want to stay beneath the ground so badly? You’ll be staying there forever in a couple of decades anyway!”
“I don’t agree with that notion, Sheep. I want to build an underground grave— No wait, I mean underground palace—”
“Did you all hear that? Even he thinks his underground palace is a grave. Do you really want to support him?”
“No!” The first to speak up was Sophia.
Davin stared at his mother with a flabbergasted look. “What do you mean? Are you going to support Sheep? I’m your son, Mom. You can’t—”
“It’s because you’re my son that I don’t want you to do this! I’ll be casting my vote to Sheila!”
Sheila was overjoyed when she heard that. “Thank you, Mom! Don’t worry. I’ll make sure you’ll get your favorite role and let you have fun being a movie star. You’re going to be popular!”
“I’ll be waiting!”
Davin then turned his sight to Jonathan resignedly. “Who are you going to vote for, Dad? Mom’s already voted against me. How about you give one to me as support?”
The older man thought about it and answered, “I was going to give my vote to Sheila, but after thinking about it, I realize I have no interest in movies or showing up on the big screen. Besides, she has no experience in movie-making. At least Davin will be making a lot of money from the underground palace. So, I’m giving my vote to him.”
“Thank you, Dad! Thank you so much!” Davin stared at his beloved father with gratitude.
“I’m giving my vote to Aunt Sheila because I think she’ll be giving us an opportunity to try something new. I like her plan, which is why I’m going to vote for her,” Nina announced.
Maya promptly stood up and declared, “I’ll cast my vote for Uncle Davin because I believe it’s not easy for him to start a business he really wants at his age. He really shows his passion and interest in the project, so I’m giving him my vote.”
“We’re two for two. It seems like we’re tied right now, Sheep.” Davin smirked.
Sheila rolled her eyes. “Don’t get so cocky. There’s still Evan, Nicole, Juan, Kyle, Joy, and Zayden! How many votes do you think you’ll get from them?”
Looking at those six people, he recalled what their attitude was toward the voting when he called them. He really had no idea who they would vote for.
“Continue, continue, continue…” Zayden and Joy urged.
Nicole stood up and gave her vote to Sheila because she believed Davin was also suitable for the job and that they could develop the project well.
“Thank you, Nicole.” Sheila smiled.
Evan also gave her his vote. “I agree with Nicole’s point about novelty wearing off over time with the underground palace. No one will want to go there often. Besides, Steven’s underground palace took them ten years to build. It’ll take too long and too much money to build it. There’s really no reason to make an investment like that. If you really like the idea of an underground palace, then you can just discuss rental fees with Steven!”
