Seeing the palms raised one by one, Ling Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation in his heart.
Since he took over the Ling family, he has been working diligently and hard every day, worrying about the family's business and development. Moreover, over the years, the Ling family's assets and comprehensive strength have indeed improved under the leadership of Ling Tian.
As the family continues to improve, these senior family members are naturally the beneficiaries, but at the moment, everyone agrees to impeach the Lingtian family head.
Ling Yuji was so angry that he was shaking all over. If the elder hadn't grabbed his wrist tightly, he might have stepped forward to argue.
"Impeachment of the head of the family requires the consent of at least two-thirds of the family's top leaders. The number of people who agree now is just over half, so it will not be effective!" The elder stood up and said sonorously.
The senior leaders of the Ling family are roughly divided into three camps. The Lingtian lineage and the Lingqiang Lingzuo lineage each account for more than 40%. The remaining less than 20% are the neutral faction. You can also call them wallflowers.
Which side do you stand on? This time Ling Qiang invited the oldest man in the family, Mr. Ling Hu, and naturally had the upper hand. Therefore, after a brief struggle and hesitation, these senior officials who were originally neutral all stood on their side.
On Ling Qiang's side.
Of course, there is no telling if there is any unknown transaction behind this matter.
But even so, less than 60% voted in favor, which did not meet the requirements to impeach the family head.
"Haha," the second elder sneered twice without changing his face. He looked at the crowd on Ling Tian's side and suddenly shouted: "Ling Hai, Ling, Ling Qi... What are you still hesitating about? Are you really going to turn a blind eye?
Watching the family, under the leadership of Ling Tian, go to destruction!"
"Whoa!"
Hearing this, the great elder's heart skipped a beat. He realized something was wrong and turned his head sharply to look over.
"Master, I'm sorry." Among the crowd, a middle-aged man in his early forties looked at Ling Tian apologetically, and then slowly raised his palm: "I agree."
After someone raised their head, several more people quickly raised their hands to express their agreement.
Including the approval votes of these people, two-thirds of the senior officials who agreed to impeach Ling Tian have passed!
Seeing this, Ling Tian's pupils shrank, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
It seems that I was careless. So many people were bribed without even realizing it.
Ling Qiang, what a good trick...
Ling Tian looked towards the opposite side, and at the same time, Ling Qiang happened to look over and gave Ling Tian a proud smile.
Ling Yuji couldn't help but become anxious. He never expected that things would reach this point. At this time, it wasn't whoever had the upper hand who had a louder voice could gain the upper hand, nor could he use force to reverse the situation. The Ling family was just a business family, not an ancient family.
Is it possible for the Wu family to kill everyone who raises their hands? Therefore, even with a person with high martial arts value like Lin Long sitting on the side, it is impossible to forcefully reverse the situation. He can only protect Ling Tian in critical moments.
It's just for the safety of Ling Yuji and others.
At this moment, Ling Yuji's phone suddenly vibrated twice and received a WeChat message.
After Ling Yuji saw the WeChat message, his face instantly relaxed a lot. He held his phone in both hands and typed quickly, describing the situation here and sending it out.
In less than five seconds, the other party replied: "Peace of mind."
Seeing this, Ling Yuji took a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed. He looked at Ling Qiang and the others with a glint in his eyes.
"Ling Hai! What are you doing!" The great elder was so angry that his beard trembled. The aura of a powerful master suddenly burst out. He pointed at the people who turned against him and said angrily: "And you, Ling, Ling Qi... the head of the family
I’m treating you badly. Is this worthy of your conscience?”
"I'm sorry..." Ling apologized again.
The others also dodge with guilty eyes, not daring to look into the eyes of the great elder, nor dare to face the great elder's question head-on.
"First Elder, everyone is thinking about the overall interests of the family. Isn't it a bit too much for you to say this?" The second elder said proudly: "Didn't you just say that impeaching a family member requires the consent of two-thirds of the senior officials?
What? How about now? If I counted correctly, the number of votes in favor seems to have exceeded two-thirds, haha..."
The Great Elder's face was extremely ugly, and the remaining senior officials who were still on Ling Tian's side were also a little confused and looked at Ling Tian, waiting for him to make up his mind.
"Great Elder." Ling Tian stood up, patted the Great Elder on the shoulder, and signaled him to retreat. Then he stepped forward, bowed deeply to the Ling family members in front of him, stood up and said loudly: "Very good."
Sorry, I, Ling Tian, did not satisfy everyone. Since everyone feels that Ling Tian is not suitable to be the head of this family, then I..."
"Just abdicate and make way for worthy people."
After saying that, he showed a wry smile.
"Father!"
"The head of the family..."
Ling Yuji, the Great Elder and other die-hard supporters of Ling Tian suddenly became anxious and stood up and shouted.
Ling Tian raised his hand to silence everyone, and then said: "After everyone elects a new family head, please inform me and I will hand over the family head's token and authority."
"I'm a little tired..."
"Ji'er, help me go back to my room to rest."
Ling Tian slowly turned around, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Ling Yuji's nose was sore and her eyes were red. She walked to Ling Tian, held his arm, and whispered: "Father, my brother-in-law's friends will be here soon. They..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the square.
"Brother Ling, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Everyone in the Ling family turned around and followed the sound, only to see a group of eight or nine people walking from outside.
"Li Qijun? What are you doing here! This is my Ling family summit, outsiders are not welcome!"
"People from the Li family, you are not welcome here!"
"Leave my Ling family quickly!"
"..."
The Ling family members were already in a very depressed mood, especially the members of Ling Tian's lineage, who were even more aggrieved. However, it was not easy to just show off one's face when dealing with members of one's own family. Now that people from the Li family appeared,
Suddenly, it was as if he had found an outlet and pointed his finger directly at the Li family.
"Haha..." Li Qijun laughed a few times and took the lead. There was no fear on his face. He put his hands behind his back and walked up with a figure-footed step. Behind him were two burly men with stern faces who blocked him.
The Ling family members in front of him pushed him away roughly.
The Ling family members who were pushed away had angry faces, but they were also frightened by the opponent's momentum and did not dare to take action for a while.
Li Qijun and others swaggered to the center of the square.
"Brother Ling," Li Qijun smiled at Ling Tian and said, "It's all your fault for today's situation. You are the one to blame!"
"Humph!" Ling Tian snorted coldly and ignored Li Qijun.
Li Qijun was not angry, but looked at Ling Qiang on the other side and said: "Mr. Ling Qiang, I took the liberty of visiting this time mainly to resolve the grievances with the Ling family. You and I have always been on good terms, and some of the things that happened before
The unhappiness is all caused by some people who insist on going their own way. Now that the Ling family has changed owners, the grievances between us have been wiped out. If the Ling family is led by Mr. Ling Qiang in the future, then my Li family will definitely
There will not be any conflicts with the Ling family, and the cooperation between you and me can even be deeper and expanded. By joining forces, we will definitely be able to create an unprecedentedly powerful financial empire, even with the four major families in Yang'an.
Comparison, not to mention more concessions!"
Li Qijun seemed to have said this to Ling Qiang, but in fact, he spoke in a very high voice, and he said it to everyone present in the Ling family.
"Brother Li, you're welcome, but the candidate for the new head of the Ling family has not yet been decided. It still depends on everyone's voting results." Ling Qiang said hypocritically.
"Haha," Li Qijun smiled, walked up to shake hands with Ling Qiang, and said in a joking tone: "If you are not the head of the Ling family, Ling Qiang, then my Li family will not dare to cooperate with you. I only recognize you.
.”
This statement makes it clear that he supports Ling Qiang to take over as the head of the family.
At this moment, suddenly, a shout came from outside the square: "Mr. Zhang Haitian, the head of the Zhang family in Longcheng and chairman of Haitian International Real Estate Company, is here!"
