The president nodded and smiled without saying a word.
He was like a wolf.
Many people looked at me. I didn't say anything. I wanted to hear what they had to say.
Someone behind the president said loudly, "This island should belong to the president. We should make a rule that the island belongs to whoever becomes the president!"
Someone retorted, "That's just wrong. Our island is a private island, so the ownership is private."
"So what? Since it's private, then it can be bought and sold. We can buy it and let Mr. President manage it. We are an autonomous country."
Everyone was talking at once.
The vice president's side was not willing to be outdone. "If that's the case, then why don't we compete for it! The one with the highest price will get it!"
"Exactly. Since the buyer will become president, then we can all compete for the presidency. How is that democratic?"
I met Tong Hui's half-smiling gaze and shrugged at him.
