As more and more bigwigs sat around the conference round table, the atmosphere in the room became more and more serious.
Finally, after Tianshi Zhang Zhiwei sat down for the last time, Su Dong, the host of the meeting representing the company, stood up and closed the door.
This means that the Shilao meeting has officially begun.
"I believe you all know the purpose of inviting everyone here today, so I won't go into details."
Director Su stood up and said, "The Ten Guys Association has always been an important organization dedicated to assisting the company in maintaining the stable order of the alien circle. You and your sects have all contributed a lot to the peace of society. Today, the Ten Guys Association
We welcome a new member, and the company has sent information about the two candidates to everyone in advance. I believe you have already considered it."
She glanced around the table and continued: "I know everyone's time is precious, so if there are no questions, let's start the voting process directly?"
No one raised any objections.
So the meeting went very smoothly to the most important part.
"So...those who support Huang Ning becoming the new top ten leader of the Truth-Seeking Association, please raise your hands."
Since there were only ten people present including Director Su who represented the company and had no voting rights, they adopted the simplest method of voting by show of hands.
After Director Su finished speaking, he began to look around and prepare to count the votes.
But she looked left and right, scanning back and forth three times, but she didn't even look at a raised arm.
The weirdness of this scene made Su Dong have the urge to raise his hands and rub his eyes.
"This..."
She was a little hesitant, and even wondered if she hadn't made it clear just now. Although the change of ten people is not common, she has experienced it several times over the years, and she can be said to be well-informed.
But she has never seen this scene before!
The nine big guys in the room come from all over the world, and their interests are by no means consistent with each other. However, when faced with the request of "joining the gang" from the Truth-Seeking Association, their attitudes are surprisingly consistent.
Su Dong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart: "Could it be that they are colluding and want to resist adding new people to the Shilao Association?"
After all, the Ten Guys will be the top of the alien circle, which is equivalent to the top of the mountain. The fewer people standing on the top of the mountain, the greater the benefits everyone can get.
It makes sense that they don't want to let new people come in from Shilaohui.
But this is not what the company wants to see.
The Shilaohui organization was originally created because the company had a shortcoming in terms of prestige when it was first founded. Therefore, on the one hand, it has the intention of courting those traditional wealthy families, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as tying them to its own chariot to make up for the shortcomings.
.
To put it harshly, it’s like a fox pretending to be a tiger.
If you don’t know the company, then you should know about the big sects like Longhushan, Shaolin Temple, Four Schools, etc., right? They are on the same side with us now! Now you know how powerful we are, right?
This is considered a compromise during the company's early days.
However, as the company's position gradually stabilized, especially after it established contact with the above and was recognized as its current semi-official status, the relationship between the fox and the tiger began to slowly change.
The company no longer needs to rely on the reputation of Shi Lao itself. Instead, with the support of the company, the name Shi Lao has become a new standard for measuring the strength of the sect.
You said you are from a famous sect with a long heritage and many masters?
It turns out that he is not even a ten-year-old man, so why are you bragging!
Because of this, the company began to have some thoughts about the original Shilao members.
To put it simply, the company wants to exert more influence on the Shilao Club, or to make the relationship between the Shilao Club and the company closer.
To achieve this goal, there are two ways: to win over existing members, or to support new members who are close to the company to join.
Under Zhao Fangxu's strategizing, every time the members of the Shilaohui changed over the years, it was almost under his control. The addition of new forces such as Mu You, Na Ruhu and Feng Zhenghao greatly diluted Rutianshi Mansion.
The influence of established forces such as the Four.
Although these new forces can become famous for a while,
But after all, the foundation is insufficient and cannot be separated from the company's support. This is a matter of mutual benefit.
More importantly, as time goes by, many members of the first generation of Shilao have exceeded the age mark of 100 years old, and another problem has gradually been put on the agenda - Zhao Fangxu is unwilling to make the Shilao Association a hereditary system. In other words, the seats of the ten brothers are not for Longhushan, Lu family, and Lu family, but for Zhang Zhiwei of Longhushan, Lu family, Lu Ci, and Lu family, Lu Jin.
If something happens to them, their heirs, the new Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and the new heads of the Lu and Lu families will not be qualified to directly inherit the position of Shilao from them.
Must be voted on again.
But if you think about it, you know that it will be difficult to promote this matter if the company does not have enough say in the Shilao Association.
After all, who doesn’t want to strive for an eternal status that will never be easy for their sect?
The Qiuzhen Society, a combined sect, is also a new direction that Zhao Fangxu is exploring.
As the saying goes, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.
The more people there are, the more discordant they will be, and this disparity is what the company hopes to see. If the ten guys really work together one day, then it will be the company that is panicked.
So if he had to choose between Miao Jiang and Qiu Zhen Society, Zhao Fangxu would rather Qiu Zhen Society become the new top ten.
But the scene that appeared in front of Su Dong directly shattered their ideas.
Through the camera, the situation in the conference room is also simultaneously broadcast to other directors of the company.
When Zhao Fangxu saw this, his face changed slightly for a moment, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Was it because he was not living up to his expectations in seeking truth, or was it that the members of the Ten Guys Club had secretly reached an agreement and were trying to give the company power?
Hobbies
After waiting for a while, no one raised their hands, so Dong Su had to clear his throat and continued: "So, those who support Miao Jiang Chi Yao to become the new ten men, please raise your hands."
This time, the nine bosses finally no longer looked like statues. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Guan Shihua was the first to raise her palm, and while raising it, she smiled and praised: "Such a young man.
It’s rare now.”
Although she was the latest to form a relationship, Guan Shihua was the one who supported Chi Yao most firmly because of her connections with the immortals in the Changbai Mountains.
This time the scene was more lively.
After Goddess Guan Shihua spoke, Lu Jin immediately answered: "Yes, I think so too."
Then came Master Jie Kong and Feng Zhenghao. In an instant, Chi Yao had defeated Huang Ning and was only one vote away from being successfully elected.
He didn't have to wait too long for this vote. Soon, Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei also raised his palm with a smile.
With more than half of the votes, the resolution is passed!
At this moment, the record for the lowest age of the Ten Guys, which had just been refreshed by Na Ruhu a few years ago, was once again refreshed, and it was directly refreshed to a level that was almost impossible to be broken again.
