Hu Weidong had promised i Lin in advance that he would cooperate with her during the discussion on the leak incident at this eting, but now he is proposing an exchange of conditions.
This implies that, in Hu Weidong's mind, the cooperation he reached with i Lin cos with preconditions. Johnson's actions just now and i Lin's reaction have already undermined the basis of that promise.
It's like an old custor saying to a shopkeeper, since their relationship is so good, could he get a 20% discount on purchases. The shopkeeper agrees, but the custor then stabs the shopkeeper in the back... can the shopkeeper still offer a discount?
This is no longer a matter of giving a discount!
Perhaps in i Lin's view, as long as Hu Weidong promises her sothing, he must deliver, regardless of how she suppresses and tests him afterward, Hu Weidong has to fulfill the promise.
However, she didn't expect that Hu Weidong's promise has implicit preconditions, or rather, she has botched it this ti.
The venue fell into an eerie silence again, until Hu Weidong spoke: "As per usual, if no one expresses their stance by this ti, it ans abstention."
Arthur nodded without saying anything, indicating his abstention, and another ordinary elder also subsequently abstained.
i Lin took a deep breath and said, "I abstain!" Fabre paused for a mont, then also declared his abstention.
Twelve people participated in the vote, eight agreed, and four abstained, and the proposal passed. Johnson not only got a beating and was thrown out, but was also imdiately stripped of his elder status.
As for the nomination of a new elder and the final decision, Arthur announced that it would be discussed in the next eting.
Next, they finally proceeded to the main agenda of this eting, which was the recent large-scale leak incident in the Xiao Alliance. The background of this issue is sowhat complex, and its nature has yet to be fully determined.
Since the beginning of this year, the Xiao Alliance has also started implenting a modern information managent system. This is clearly in emulation of the Magic Sect, but it was more than a year late because they first needed to refer to Magic Sect's implentation experience.
According to the Magic Sect's experience, the first step is to develop an information managent system, then input all mber information and contact details, followed by dynamic tracking and managent.
Information managent has hierarchical permissions.
Ordinary disciples can only submit an inquiry request to confirm the identity of a specific individual. For example, if Zhang San encounters Li Si, and Li Si claims to be a disciple of the Observing Body Sect, Zhang San can apply to the Ancestral Hall Information Office to confirm if there really is a person nad Li Si in the Observing Body Sect.
A steward-level has the right to access all disciples' data within their own sect.
An elder-level has the right to access data for all disciples across the sect.
He Kao handles registered information of all Magic Sect disciples (excluding elders) and has quasi-elder permissions.
The Ancestral Hall disseminates various notifications through this information system. So ssages reach the steward level, so reach high-tier cultivators, and so are conveyed to all Magic Sect disciples.
The information conveyed to all Magic Sect disciples is essentially an announcent.
Based on the above frawork, the Xiao Alliance also developed its own internal information managent system, with i Lin as the project manager. It is currently in the trial run phase, having only completed preliminary data entry work, and has not yet enabled information query permissions.
Once the system is officially operational, Supre Council elders will have the right to access all mber data of the Xiao Alliance. But currently, only Arthur and i Lin have this permission.
A few days ago, during system testing, a major blunder occurred.
The latest announcent from the Ancestral Hall, seen by the Xiao Alliance's upper echelons of course, was specifically discussed by the Supre eting, which believed the information should be locked down and not disclosed to ordinary mbers of the Xiao Alliance.
The Magic Sect's Ancestral Hall does not have contact information for Xiao Alliance mbers, so the announcent cannot be sent to them. Even if soone hears related rumors and cos to inquire, the higher-ups will have a unified rhetoric, claiming it is a trap by the Magic Sect.
The specific content of the announcent is provisionally set to be accessible only by the Supre Council elders.
However, when the staff input the Ancestral Hall's announcent into the information repository, because its title ended with the word "announcent," the system automatically recognized it as a notification to be sent to all mbers and thus automatically disseminated it to everyone...
