But the three continued to make unreasonable noise, yelling to insist on asking for votes before participating in the election. In order to make the election go on normally, Li Xiaohui was preparing to fill the votes for the three of them. Tian, ​​who was recording the video, suddenly stepped forward, tore up the 16 votes that had not been distributed in Li Xiaohui's hands, and threw them on the ground. Then Tian, ​​Han, An, Hou and other four people left. Afterwards, Tian returned home and sent the video he recorded to a short video platform.
