"We will hold a meeting to decide on the matter you mentioned." The silver-haired old man did not dwell on small details and spoke calmly.
"If more than half of the people in the meeting agree, then the Privy Council will elect her according to the rules regardless of whether she changes her nationality to an independent state or not."
"What if more than half of the people in the meeting disagree?" Leonard asked immediately.
The silver-haired old man looked him in the eye and said calmly, "If more than half of the people vote against it, the Privy Council will choose someone else."
He was just about to mention the candidate proposed by the Queen.
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back silently.
Forget it, there’s no point in saying so much now, let’s just wait until the voting results come out!
As long as it's not that Qiao Nian, the vacant position will be taken by the person chosen by the Queen as they had agreed before.
So there was no need for him to go against the old man Xue Conglin at this time.
Leonard turned off the video conference on his computer, his triangular eyes looking more and more vicious, and turned to contact the neutral people.
The Privy Council has always been a voting system, and whenever a major decision needs to be made, it is taken by three parties through voting.
At times like this, the attitude of the neutral party becomes particularly important.
Leonard is very confident that he can convince the neutrals to stand on this side this time!
He did what he said and called: "Hello, it's me, please transfer me to Jacob."

at the same time.
Xu Yi was just about to go look for Qiao Nian when he received a strange phone call on the way.
When he saw the familiar yet strange number, he felt annoyed and walked to the corner to answer the phone: "Didn't I tell you not to call me when I'm working?"
"Master, I'm here to bring you something. I'll wait for you outside." The voice on the other end of the phone was gentle and warm. It could be heard that the man was elderly and very respectful to him.
Xu Yi frowned, held back, and said, "Where are you?" The man reported a location outside the First Research Institute.
Xu Yi became more and more upset, and turned to walk out: "Stand there and don't move, I'll be out soon."
He hung up the phone, thought about it, then lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to the girl saying that he had some personal matters and would be there later.
The girl’s profile picture is as simple as ever, just a pure white background picture.
After Xu Yi sent the message, there was no reply.
He knew that Qiao Nian might be busy and had no time to look at his phone, so he pursed his lips, put the phone back in his pocket, and walked out quickly.
…
Outside.
A low-key black Passat was parked outside. The driver did not get out of the car. An old woman with silver hair was standing next to the car.
The old woman was dressed simply, her hair was combed meticulously, and she was very clean and tidy.
She was holding a box in her hand and standing quietly under the camphor tree waiting for the person inside to come out.
Less than five minutes.
Xu Yi walked out and walked towards her.
The old woman's face showed obvious joy, but she suppressed her happiness and stood still waiting for him to come over as he asked.
Xu Yi walked over in two or three steps. When he saw her, he didn't have the heart to do it. There was no extra expression on his handsome face: "Didn't I tell you not to come to the research institute to find me?"
"I'm bringing you something on behalf of your father." The old woman looked up, her weathered eyes full of tenderness.
"Isn't it your birthday today?" She handed over what she brought: "This is a birthday present from your father."
