Chapter 242 The old boss brought his son-in-law to the election
Under the presidency of the Great Elder, the entire tribe first worshiped his ancestors, and then completed a series of pre-session rituals. Everyone here is pious, at least on the surface.
The next part is that the current head of the sect reports to the Presbyterian Council on the current situation of the Chai family. The old head of the sect is fully prepared and the various data are also quite beautiful.
He also counted the trade deals with Binhuo District. According to statistics, 3,000 tantalum coins flowed into the Chai family account from the south of the city wall in the past sixty days. Calculated by one tantalum coins to fiat currency of 10,000 yuan, this is definitely a considerable income.
Zhao Hui thought in his mind that at least most of the three thousand tantalum coins were offered by Yang Wei. Of course, they were conducting commodity trading, which was normal, and each of them got the win-win outcome they needed.
The Presbyterian Council expressed satisfaction with the work done by the head in economics, security, and family reputation maintenance. The head's report also won applause from the people of the other tribes attending the meeting. Chai Xiaoxia behind him was very unhappy. The reason why the tantalum coins in the Binnuke District quickly flowed into the Chai family was inseparable from her contribution.
Next, each side branch reported the recent situation to the elders' meeting, such as what everyone did in their own positions, what difficulties they encountered, what changes they hoped for the family, etc.
Two hours later, the Great Elder summarized this work. In fact, his summary only had one action, which was to enter meditation.
After a long time he finally opened his eyes, nodded meaningfully, and knocked on the table and said in his hoarse voice: "The election of the head of the family has officially begun."
Everyone calmed down and looked at the Great Elder respectfully. This was the highlight of today.
"The Chai family has lived in the third phase of the Lanmeng Home Immigration Star for thousands of years and continues its fine traditions. Just like twenty-five years ago, today we will elect a new leader to manage this family."
"According to the genealogy, there are 37 branches in this clan. Each of you can elect a candidate to join the House of Representatives. After the three votings, the new leader will be decided on the spot. If there is no suitable candidate, you can abstain."
Among the thirty-seven branches, there are many who choose to abstain from the abstention, for different reasons. Some of them obviously have no advantage and have given the voting rights in advance to certain strong candidates.
There are several old leaders who are closer to him, but it is unknown whether they can get help from this occasion today. It is not unusual to make people profit and change their responsibilities when they see the wind.
"Lao Jiu, you are the current leader, so it starts with you." The "Lao Jiu" mentioned by the great elder is Chai Xiaoxia's father.
The head of the sect stood up respectfully and bowed to all the tribe members present, then slowly spoke: "My family Haoyu went to the fifth district some time ago to find the lost heirloom sapphire of the family, unfortunately was seriously injured. He was unable to support the overall situation of the Chai family in the future. Fortunately, his daughter Xiaoxia has very outstanding management skills, so I recommend Chai Xiaoxia to join the public opinion."
When these words were outrageous, everyone was in an uproar. Although there were rumors that Chai Haoyu, the eldest son of the Chai family, were injured, but he did not expect that he could give up his position as the leader of the sect in the past.
Among these tribe members, several parents showed disdainful smiles at the corners of their mouths. What they knew was completely different. A long time ago, the eldest son of the Chai family was infected with the Storm virus and was now locked in a secret basement in the Chai Mansion.
If nothing unexpected happens, the small team they sent had already entered the Chai Mansion compound and sent a video to the venue as long as evidence is found. Then the "Lao Jiu"'s life is in danger, and even his whole family will be despised and expelled by the Chai family.
The Presbyterian Church will never allow the Chai family to appear, as this is a great shame for the human nobles.
Zhao Hui took advantage of the dark light to look around the audience, and he could see who was insiders at a glance. If it were not expected, Cheng Menglan and others would have already started to be busy at this time.
The elders were silent, and the voices of discussion began to sound below.
Chai Xiaoxia was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by various strange eyes, but when she looked at her father's calm expression, she felt a little relieved, especially with Zhao Hui beside her, she suddenly felt full of confidence, so she simply raised her head and turned a deaf ear to the discussion.
An elder advised the elder: "We need a male leader."
"Is there any clan rule that the head of the Chai family must be a male?"
Faced with the questioning of the head, several elders could not give the answer. The family rules did not write this article, but instead made it clear that as long as the "descendants of the Chai family's regular bloodline" could be recommended.
Even the great elders cannot break the rules passed down by ancestors. What is clearly written in the article can be changed just by saying that it is corrected.
Zhao Hui was secretly funny. It seemed that the leader had made a lot of hard work before, otherwise why would he stand here with confidence today and question the more than 30 tribes and more than a dozen elders present?
Since he could not reject his recommendation, he had to accept it. This gave some other competitors a good opportunity to challenge Chai Xiaoxia with his own male heir, and his chances of winning suddenly became much greater.
The Great Elder raised his scepter and pointed it at Zhao Hui, and asked the head: "Since this young man is not Mr. Chai, what is his identity?"
Chai Xiaoxia replied loudly, "My fiancé."
"It's not your turn to speak, Miss Chai!" The elder was very rude. Now he asked the old master how to allow the little girl to speak, "Since the young lady is going to get married, he will not be a member of the Chai family. What is this recommendation?"
The old leader explained calmly: "Xiaoxia will not marry, but will recruit Zhao Hui in."
"Zhao Hui?"
Hearing this name made many people feel thunderous, and some people couldn't help but exclaim.
The faces of several elders changed drastically. How could it be Zhao Hui? Although he usually doesn't go out of the gate and doesn't go out, he still has some understanding of the major events that happened in the Storm World. This is not the first time Zhao Hui's name has been heard of.
Just when everyone was surprised, Zhao Hui took a step forward, bowed slightly and explained politely: "Don't get me wrong, although I have the same name as Zhao Hui from that Special Administrative Region, I am not him."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and almost was scared to death.
Some people obviously don't believe it. They have inside news that Zhao Hui is the one in the Bin Nuclear Area who has made the world uneasy. It is unknown how they can pass the layers of security checks here.
It is because there is no evidence that you should not have an attack right now. When good news comes from behind, you will expose the mask of the old leader's family.
Of course, Zhao Hui knew what these people thought, and he had planned how to prove to the Presbyterian Church that he was a human being.
"Are you really not Zhao Hui of the Storm Clan?"
"The elder is worried too much..."
Zhao Hui was about to make a few more polite words, but suddenly he felt a strong wind blowing. In the blink of an eye, he saw the Great Elder standing in front of him.
It turns out that he is a human expert. The old man's speed is so fast. It's hard to say that he can compete with Zhao Hui when he was young.
The father and daughter of Chai secretly complained that the elder must have suspected Zhao Hui. What should I do if I personally test this?
