Duanmu Ci looked at himself in the mirror, with blood on the corner of his mouth and pale face, and gritted his teeth.
"Young Master, how are you?"
Next to him, the middle-aged man looked at Duanmu Ci with worry on his face.
His heart was equally uneasy.
That Xiao Chen, could actually hurt their elders with one blow?
Then Xiao Chen, what kind of strength must he have!
You know, over the years, as the genius of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Ci has many rivals, sweeping across the borders of the three nearby provinces.
But now, when he fought against Xiao Chen, he suffered a hidden loss.
"I must kill Xiao Chen!"
Duanmuci's eyes were cold, filled with murderous intent and hatred.
"Young Master, what kind of strength is he? Is he a master of energy transformation?"
The middle-aged man hesitated and asked.
"no."
Duanmu Ci wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
"It should also be the Dzogchen of Dark Strength."
"Dark Perfection?"
The middle-aged man's eyelids twitched a few times.
"So, he is worthy of his reputation as the number one genius?"
"I underestimated this guy before!"
Duanmu Ci looked at the blood on the mirror and clenched his fists.
"However, even if he is stronger than me, so what! He must die!"
"Yes, young master, I believe you!"
The middle-aged man nodded and handed over the tissue.
Duanmuci took it, wiped the blood on his hands, and threw away the tissue.
"Take care of this place so that no one can see it."
"Yes, young master."
The middle-aged man nodded and began to deal with the blood stains on the sink and mirror.
Duanmu Ci, on the other hand, turned around and left the bathroom and walked towards the conference room.
In the conference room, Jiang Tiansheng glanced at the entire room: "Mr. Lin, Xiaoyou, it seems that people from the Zhao family haven't come in yet."
"There's no need to wait for the Zhao family, they won't come."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said lightly.
"Not coming? I saw the Zhao family, they came just now."
Jiang Tiansheng was startled.
People from the Chu family and Zhuge family were also a little strange and looked at Lin Nan.
Just now, it was Lin Nan who called Zhao Dechang and Zhao Laowu out.
But now, Lin Nan is here, what about Zhao Dechang and Zhao Laowu?
"The Zhao family has done something they shouldn't have done, so there is no need to attend this nomination meeting."
The person who spoke was Lin Nan, who represented the imperial court.
After hearing Lin Nan's words, insiders like Mr. Bai did not change much.
The expressions of people from the Jiang family, Chu family, Zhuge family and other powerful families all changed. Something happened to the Zhao family?
"Okay, let's not mention the Zhao family, let's start the nomination meeting now."
Lin Nan said and looked at Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Xiao, as the leader of the seven major families, you will host this nomination meeting."
"Haha, since Mr. Lin said so, then I will do my part."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
He is quite happy to do this kind of thing that is mainly about being a guest.
Mr. Bai and others also smiled. This nomination meeting was hosted by Xiao Chen, so their interests would definitely not be shaken.
And Jiang Tiansheng frowned. This was a huge deviation from their previous plan!
Click.
The door of the conference room opened and Duanmuci walked in again.
He had a gloomy face and his eyes fell on the three chairs above.
Among them, two people have already taken seats, Lin Nan and Xiao Chen.
There was only one handful left and it was empty.
He didn't want to go there, but thinking about today's nomination meeting, he suppressed his anger and walked forward slowly.
"Duanmu Ci, right? Let me remember what happened just now. If you want to fight, I will accompany you at any time..."
Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Ci and said lightly.
"you……"
Duanmu gave an angry look, but thinking of Xiao Chen's strength, he still endured it.
"Oh, did you vomit blood just now? Do you feel better after vomiting blood?"
Xiao Chen looked at him a few more times and said playfully.
"..."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Duanmu gave the energy and blood that he had just suppressed almost boiling over again, and he took another mouthful of old blood.
"Little friend Duanmu, please sit down first."
Jiang Tiansheng was afraid that Duanmu Ci and Xiao Chen would have another conflict, so he tried to smooth things over.
When Duanmu Ci saw Jiang Tiansheng talking, he had already walked down the stairs. He nodded, pulled out his chair, and sat down.
However, he was quite far away from Xiao Chen.
One is that he is not willing to rely on him, and the other is that he is on guard. What if Xiao Chen suddenly takes action against him?
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start our nomination meeting! I'm a newcomer, so I don't know much about the specific process... Brother Lin, can you tell me about it?"
Xiao Chen turned his head, looked at Lin Nan and said.
"Um?"
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, Duanmu Ci frowned next to him, what did this guy mean?
Didn't he propose this meeting today?
"Haha, okay, let me talk about it then."
Lin Nan nodded and stood up.
drop.
Duanmuci's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Jiang Yu.
"Brother Duanmu, don't be impulsive, just be patient for now."
Duanmu Ci turned to look at Jiang Yu, who shook his head slightly.
Click!
The mobile phone in Duanmu Ci's hand was crushed to pieces by him.
When Xiao Chen heard the noise, he glanced to the side and sneered in his heart, "Boy, there are only so many people today, otherwise I will crush you!"
After Lin Nan explained the rules, people at the scene started a discussion.
Originally, Lin Nan wanted to nominate the Zhao family, the Chu family and the Zhuge family, but now that the Zhao family has been removed, the Chu family and the Zhuge family cannot take the position.
Not because of anything else, but because there is no place.
Among the seven major families, five... no, six are on Xiao Chen's side. That can be regarded as allies and a community of interests.
Therefore, it was natural for the imperial court not to make any further moves.
Moreover, if the Duanmu family can be touched this time, it will be considered as achieving the goal.
"This time, I brought some data, which is also used as the basis for the evaluation of the seven major families..."
Lin Nan opened his briefcase, took out a bunch of things and placed it on the table.
"Everyone, let's take a look."
Then, the pages were passed around, and everyone got one.
Xiao Chen also looked at it and his expression became strange.
Although it was his first time to participate in this nomination meeting, he knew as soon as he saw this paper that this was nonsense.
Above, among the seven major families, the data of two families is a bit ugly.
These two families are the Jiang family and the Ouyang family.
Before today, the Ouyang family had not made much statement, so the court obviously wanted to influence the Ouyang family.
Not to mention the court, even Xiao Chen, didn't he also have ideas for the Ouyang family before?
Therefore, when Mr. Ouyang saw this data, his face trembled obviously, and he knew very well what was going on.
Even everyone here knew what was going on.
No, Jiang Tiansheng's face is also a bit ugly.
Although this is just a nomination meeting, you can still see something.
He narrowed his eyes. Is the imperial court going to attack the Jiang family?
Immediately, he looked at Duanmu Ci and shook his head secretly.
I don’t know what the Duanmu family was thinking, why did they send Duanmu Ci here this time?
Although Duanmu Ci is the genius of the Duanmu family, he has a lot of talent in training and handling things, but he lacks a lot!
"Have you all read it? The Jiang family and the Ouyang family, your contribution to Long Hai in the past few years is not very big."
Lin Nan looked at them and said slowly.
"Huh? Brother Lin, is this thing based on contribution?"
Xiao Chen answered.
"Not entirely, but when developing in Longhai, we can't just develop ourselves, we have to let the city develop, right?"
Lin Nan explained.
"Yeah, that's true. You can't just take, you must also give, right?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
"That's right."
Lin Nan chuckled.
"But based on what you say, I think the Ouyang family and the Jiang family should do well."
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Um?"
Hearing this, many people were stunned for a moment. Why did he say good things to the Jiang family?
Before they could react, Xiao Chen continued: "In my opinion, the ones who have made little contribution to Long Hai are not the Jiang family and the Ouyang family, but... the Duanmu family!"
"..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly understood that this was for the Duanmu family!
However, after they thought about it carefully, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this statement.
"Xiao Chen, what do you mean!"
Duanmu Ci couldn't bear it any longer, stared at Xiao Chen, and asked angrily.
"What do you mean? Oh, am I right? Over the years, your Duanmu family has reaped a lot of benefits from Long Hai, right? But what have you brought to Long Hai? You have added a piece to Long Hai's construction.
Bricks, or add a tile?"
Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Ci and asked mockingly.
"I...why not!"
Duanmu Ci stared at Xiao Chen and said loudly.
"Yes? Haha, I think your Duanmu family is in Longhai just to get benefits, right?"
Xiao Chen sneered.
"For people who only want to gain benefits, I think they should withdraw from Longhai!"
"..."
Listening to Xiao Chen's words, many people secretly took a breath, this kid is so cruel, he could hit a snake seven inches away!
"Who said we only benefited from it? The Duanmu Family controls so many forces, and they have contributed to Long Hai, which is equivalent to the Duanmu Family's contribution!"
Duanmu Ci said coldly.
"Really? I would like to know how many forces the Duanmu family controls... Duanmu Ci, how about you tell me in detail?"
Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Ci and asked slowly.
"I……"
Duanmu Ci opened his mouth, swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He is not stupid!
Can you tell me about this thing?
What he didn't know was that all the people he had brought in for the purpose of filling their heads were all controlled by Xiao Chen.
Therefore, it makes no difference whether he says it now or not.
"Since there is no contribution, why should we share the benefits? The Duanmu family should withdraw from Longhai."
When Xiao Chen saw that Duanmu Ci was silent, he withdrew his gaze and said coldly.
"Well, I think what Mr. Xiao said makes some sense."
Lin Nan secretly admired him, suppressed his laughter, and cooperated with Xiao Chen.
"Second."
Mr. Bai nodded.
"I also second the proposal."
Mr. Su also followed closely behind.
In the blink of an eye, except for the Jiang family, the six major families agreed with Xiao Chen's words.
Even Xue Zhanhu and Luo Shijie nodded.
Even if they are here to make soy sauce today, their opinions cannot be ignored.
As for the Chu family, Zhuge family, etc., they have no qualifications to speak.
This is also the reason why all parties want to join the seven major families.
Being among the seven major families is equivalent to having a real say in Long Hai.
