The Helis family had been silent for several days since Loren Hill visited that day. Miss Meilu ordered that the entire headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce be completely closed, and no one could enter or leave at will.
A few days later, the headquarters of the Helis Chamber of Commerce opened, which seemed to outsiders to be the same as usual, but the staff inside found that some faces had disappeared, and it was said that they had been assigned to work in a branch far away.
Later, the main stewards of the various branches of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, especially those uncles and relatives of Meilu, received invitations from the master's family. After the diagnosis, he said that he would die soon, so he invited everyone to discuss the successor of the Chamber of Commerce.
If there are usually some meetings, these relatives of Helis love to go or not, and there are not many people present, but when it comes to the transfer of the chamber of commerce and the distribution of property, they are like flies that smell fishy, swarming, afraid to go. No soup at night.
In this way, in just one week, these distant relatives arrived one after another and gathered together.
Hallis' House, Main Chamber.
Huoth sat at the top of the hall, his face was a little pale, and his fat body was like a ball of soft white bread. From time to time, there was a medicinal soup brought by a maid. On his right was the eldest daughter Meilu, and next to him. It is the youngest son Bell.
"First Clan"
Among the many stewards in the audience, all kinds of eyes looked at the house owner in the middle. There were envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire. All kinds of eyes looked at these members of the master family. It didn't start, they whispered underneath, exchanged temptations with each other, trying to know what each other was paying attention to.
Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar, yet so unfamiliar. Since when did everyone get to this point with each other? Without the warmth of the past, there is only one pair left. The greed for money, as if this is the only value and meaning of life.
Or maybe this is the normal state, people are volatile, only the interests are long-lasting, soul-stirring, and unable to extricate themselves. She sighed silently in her heart, and then there was a slight pull on her arm.
"Bell, um, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, my sister will protect you."
Meru took her brother's hand to soothe his unease, and the meeting finally officially began.
The host first clapped his hands to calm everyone down, and briefly introduced the reason for calling everyone this time. Due to the unwellness of the head of the family, Huo Si decided to abdicate to become a virtuous one.
"I'm sorry, I'm calling everyone at this time." Huth said, his speech was not fast and his voice was a little weak.
"The owner of the house is worrying too much, your health is the most important thing."
"Yes, don't worry too much, everyone is here."
"Yes, don't worry."
Some stewards responded below that although they were all concerned, their excited eyes did not look like they were concerned about Hoss. I am afraid they were more secretly happy. After all, Hoss was the son of the previous family owner. Seniority can still hold them down. But once he retires, who can be replaced
Bell is only 14 years old, and no one cares about him at all. Although the eldest daughter Mei Lu has a certain strength, she is a daughter and will marry sooner or later. At that time, it is not necessary to entrust them to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahaha.
"So, I am going to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Mei Lu, to handle it."
When Hawthorne said this, there was an uproar below, and one after another showed unbelievable expressions, and the face that was kind before suddenly became ugly, and all kinds of doubts sounded.
"Patriarch think twice, Mei Lu is just a little girl, it's too much for her to be in power."
"Yeah, why give the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter."
"Chambers should be led by experienced people"
"I think Lord Vito is right."
... .
The voices below suddenly became noisy, and many people started to make noise. Everyone expressed their opinions and said the most suitable leader in their minds, and some simply recommended themselves. Hoss sweated on his head and said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened. They only wanted to vent their dissatisfaction and argue about who is qualified to lead the chamber of commerce.
Mei Lu stood up and patted her father's back, and whispered a few words in his ear. Only then did Hoss' anxious face slowly ease. After that, several guards escorted him and Bell away from the nearby small side door. Under the cover of the clamor in the council hall, the sound of the collision of armors outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.
Some people noticed the departure of Hoss and were about to step forward to question them, but they were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared.
thump—
thump—
The big bell in the conference hall was rang, and the metallic vibrato of the copper bell clearly spread throughout the venue. At this time, the scene gradually quieted down. When everyone saw that there was only Mei Lu on the rostrum, they finally felt that something was wrong.
"Miss Meilu, what about Lord Hoth?"
Several stewards began to ask, and the others looked at Mei Lu, waiting for her answer.
"My father is not feeling well, I have already gone back to rest, and I will take care of the rest."
"Mei Lu, get off the stage. How can you let a girl like you take on such a heavy responsibility?"
An uncle said loudly, some other people began to agree, and more people watched from the sidelines, but at this time, no one stood up to speak for Mei Lu.
Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green dress, with a bright yellow camellia pinned to her shoulders. She could not see her face in the dimly lit chamber, only the chestnut-gold long hair. Hair on the chest.
"Does Uncle Vito also think I'm inappropriate?" Her voice was a little cold.
"Yes."
"But I still want to do it, what should I do?"
"Don't act like this, we are for your own good too."
"But I'd rather."
Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice became colder and more determined.
"you... ... "
Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the other side.
"You are just a member of the Helis family branch, what qualifications do you have to yell in front of me."
"I usually call you uncle, does it make you forget your duty!"
Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock. No one expected that Mei Lu, who was usually docile and pleasant, would dare to say such a thing.
"From today, the Helis family will be unified again, everyone and all branches must obey the orders of our master family!"
"And I will become the new owner of the Helis Chamber of Commerce. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell it here."
Her voice was firm and unequivocal. Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives and elders present. Her black pupils slowly swept across the audience. As her words fell, groups of fully armed guards filed in from the side door. Silence, only the sound of metal collisions can be heard, the steel guards of three hundred people will completely block the venue, and no one can escape this silent hall.
