"Second Miss, things are not that simple. The interests within Yunhua Comrce are entangled. Although the Yun Family is the most powerful, it’s best not to offend everyone. I’ve already intimidated them once. If Uncle Yun does it again, it might backfire, and besides, Uncle Yun has another plan." Lin Tian comforted the angry little girl, analyzing for her.
"Lin Tian is right. They were in the wrong earlier, so the first intimidation was effective. But if we continue to disgrace them, they might retaliate desperately, which wouldn’t be good for anyone." Miss also analyzed calmly.
Xiao Manxuan was a smart girl. She understood after thinking for a bit, but she was still curious and asked, "Then what’s Uncle Yun’s other plan?"
Lin Tian spread his hands and said, "If you want to know, it will be revealed later."
After saying this, the three of them returned to their seats. Yun Xiaotian and Ou ngng gave them a thumbs up in praise.
"Lin Tian, Miss, you guys were amazing, leaving those greedy guys speechless." Yun Xiaotian said with satisfaction.
"Heh heh, especially when Lin Tian gave Bai Yuze a beating. That really relieved . The things he said, it wouldn’t be too much to tear his mouth off." Ou ngng laughed straightforwardly.
Xiao Manxuan glanced at Lin Tian and also said happily, "He indeed deserved a beating. If Lin Tian hadn’t stopped , I would have definitely flattened him." The little girl raised her small fist as if she wasn’t fully relieved.
Miss pamperedly stroked her sister’s hair, shaking her head with amusent, "Sister, Lin Tian helped the Xiao Family, yet you still bla him for stopping you from hitting people."
Xiao Manxuan stuck out her little tongue at Lin Tian and said embarrassedly, "I know Lin Tian helped my sister. I’m not blaming him."
"You misunderstood what I said. It’s not about this help. To be honest, if Lin Tian hadn’t appeared, I would have acted just now. Lin Tian appeared in ti to stop us from acting recklessly, and he personally hit the man. He beca the bad guy for the Xiao Family’s sake, considering the family’s image within the comrce." Miss explained, finally giving Lin Tian a grateful look.
"I see." Xiao Manxuan nodded in realization.
Lin Tian playfully blinked at Miss, feeling a bit surprised. Miss’s mind works well; she guessed it all. Just now, hitting soone was not only to punish Bai Yuze, as Miss said, by being the bad guy, the Xiao Family established authority while not becoming loathed by other rchants.
Miss was a bit flushed from Lin Tian’s flirtatious glance. She coquettishly rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, thinking this rascal has guts, daring to flirt even in such a setting. She quickly turned her head, fearing others would see her blush.
Lin Tian chuckled without saying anything. When Miss blushed, she was truly enchanting. Her eyes sparkled, and her lips seed tempting, making his heart stir. Lin Tian shalessly thought.
Miss could feel Lin Tian’s unabashed gaze sweeping over her, seemingly seeing through her. Although she sat seriously on the surface, inside she was extrely tense, her face burning intermittently.
"Manxue, why is your face so red? Are you not feeling well?" The nearby Wang Wanxi looked at Miss, asking with concern.
"Oh, is it?" Miss touched her face, unconsciously glancing at Lin Tian and said sowhat guiltily, "Maybe it’s a bit hot in the hall?"
A bit hot? Lin Tian, listening nearby, was taken aback. The hall was equipped with central air conditioning, cooler than the night breeze. Where did the heat co from? Could it be Miss was ill?
While he thought about this, he didn’t know Miss had already called him a "rascal" at least ten tis in her heart. Wang Wanxi, with her sharp eyes, naturally noticed Miss sneaking a look at Lin Tian. She looked at Lin Tian a few tis, revealing a aningful smile.
"Manxue, don’t let your mind wander. You have to stay focused, as we’re soon entering today’s most important topic. Don’t get distracted." Wang Wanxi kindly reminded, but her words had a double aning, making Miss’s face redder.
Lin Tian looked around the hall, noticing the various expressions on people’s faces. The ordeal against the Xiao Family had co to an end. Presumably, the next agenda would be the most important event of the semi-annual eting: selecting the president.
The president holds the top authority in the comrce, especially since Yunhua Comrce is one of Huaxia’s largest. In ancient Jianghu terms, a president is almost like an Alliance Hierarch.
In ancient tis, Jianghu people fought overtly and covertly for the Alliance Hierarch position. Similarly, Lin Tian could see that the minds of these businessn are quite cunning as well.
Even Qian Jin and Shen Liyan had shifted their focus, moving away from bullying the Xiao Family to considering how to handle the upcoming presidential competition, their expressions unfathomable.
"Ladies and gentlen, aside from sharing our business experiences over the past half-year, the most important matter today is sothing I’m sure you’re all well aware of." Yun Haoyu stood up, glanced at everyone, and said loudly.
All the rchants knew that the mont had arrived. They all knew what Yun Haoyu wanted to say.
Yun Haoyu paused for a mont, then continued, "This year, my term as president is coming to an end, so today, we must elect a new president to continue leading the comrce to new heights."
"In Yunhua Comrce, we don’t do anything phony. Everyone is free to speak up about their choice for president. We’ll then vote, and the person with the highest support will beco the new president." Yun Haoyu said solemnly.
"I propose Xiao Manxue as president." As soon as his voice fell, everyone was still brewing their emotions when suddenly soone spoke loudly, being the first to propose a candidate for president.
Everyone imdiately looked towards the speaker, and when they saw who it was, their expressions beca peculiar because the person proposing was Ou ngng. She wasn’t a mber of Yunhua Comrce, yet she was the most proactive, more active than even the Yunhua Comrce mbers. How could they not find it strange?
However, Yunhua Comrce didn’t have a rule against guests proposing candidates, but it was limited to proposals only, with no voting rights.
Regarding Ou ngng’s proposal, the rchants did not imdiately express opinions but exchanged glances, as if considering sothing.
Seeing this, Lin Tian smiled inwardly. In the past, soone would have imdiately stood up to oppose since the Xiao Family was just a small family. But now, they didn’t oppose, and Lin Tian knew that the effect of establishing authority had been achieved.
A group of rchants united to deal with the Xiao Family, yet they couldn’t gain any advantage and ended up losing face. Other rchants clearly saw that the Xiao Family was no longer the weak family it once was but a strong contender, equal to several great families without losing ground.
Lin Tian had always let Miss deal with those people alone, aiming to create this sort of authoritative effect.
