Accompanied by a few people, Kunshan took the elevator to the floor where the main hall master was located. The floor was full of brothers who came to the main hall and medical staff coming and going. Apart from that, there were no outsiders. In order to be hidden, this floor was only occupied by residents.
Got a patient from the chief hall master
When Kunshan arrived, he met several other elders in the hall and asked about the condition of the chief hall master: "How is the chief hall master?"
"The doctor said he might not be able to survive for a few hours, and the family members have already started preparing for funeral arrangements," an old man said with a sigh.
"How is the hall now?" Kunshan is worried that there will be chaos because there is no deputy hall master who can replace the chief hall master.
"Except for the very high-ranking people present, no one else said anything, for fear of causing chaos." Everyone waited patiently and quietly in the corridor for a while. The sky gradually became brighter. No one thought about having breakfast, and there was a collective silence.
And waiting anxiously in the corridor
After a while, a nurse came out and said to them: "Gentlemen, he is awake and wants to see you."
Several people walked into the room with heavy hearts. A middle-aged woman glanced at them without surprise, lowered her head and continued to look numbly at the chief hall master who was looking back at him on the bed.
When the chief hall master saw everyone coming, he twitched his lips slightly and waved to them: "Here we come!"
"Hall Master..." Everyone seemed choked up when they spoke. They had been together for a long time or had deep feelings.
The chief hall master gave them a reassuring look in his eyes: "People will die eventually. Don't be too sad after I leave. Remember that peace with the hall is the most important thing in everything."
Everyone nodded. Seeing that they all nodded, the chief hall master was very pleased and waved to Kunshan: "You, come here."
"General Hall Master" Kunshan reached out to hold his outstretched hand, which was cold and despairing.
The chief hall master looked at him with reassuring eyes and opened his mouth slightly. He wanted to say something when he suddenly started breathing heavily. Kunshan put his ear to his mouth and said, "Say."
"I..." The chief hall master only said the word "I" and said no more. His slightly raised hand slipped from Kunshan's hand...
Then the word "I" became the last word he said in this world. In the narrow ward, some people cried bitterly, while others looked on coldly. Kunshan held the chief hall master's hand tremblingly and remained silent for a long time.
After leaving the ward, Kunshan's eyes were red and his steps were a little sloppy. He was helped by Ahu and got into the car to go back to the main hall, because the execution hall said that they had to hold a meeting immediately and the chief hall leader left. Although he was sad, he
They should put the overall situation first and elect a new chief hall leader as soon as possible, because the hall leader didn't say anything when he left, so things became difficult.
After everyone sat down at the table, the execution hall uncle said: "The most important thing now is to elect a new chief hall master. Since the chief hall master has not left a will, I suggest that everyone vote. Do you have any opinions?
"
Everyone thought it was fair and said they had no objections.
"Then everyone has his or her own opinion! I join the sitting hall master, he ranks first in terms of qualifications." Xingtang and sitting hall are brothers, so he naturally wants to promote his brother.
Everyone, look at me, look at me, they are all discussing, this is related to their future future, the future of Hezhihetang, they must be cautious
The old man sitting in the hall is already old. If he becomes the chief hall master, then the deputy hall master will have to be the deputy hall master. After a hundred years of sitting in the hall, he will be the hall master. No wonder he is so active. He is not stupid, and neither are others.
Kunshan doesn't intend to fight for anything. He just sits on the sidelines and watches their competition.
After sitting in the hall, the uncle who accompanied the hall was not happy. He had a little feud with the uncle in the hall. Although it was a small feud, it would be no good for him that the uncle in the hall became the chief hall master. He said: "We chose the hall master.
, we should talk about ability, not qualifications? The merits of qualifications, everyone present is the same."
The Guan Tang also nodded and said: "I think Kunshan is good. He is young and promising and has outstanding achievements. I vote for Kunshan. I am convinced that he will be the leader of the hall."
Kunshan was innocently involved and said modestly, "I have little talent and knowledge, and I am still young. I am not qualified to take on this important responsibility. It is inappropriate or inappropriate. All of you here are better than me and have more experience than me."
This was said sincerely and quite pleasantly. The grandmaster of the auditorium is a very gentle man and he has great insights into etiquette, but he has no opinion on who should be the master of the hall, because no matter who is the master of the hall, he is still the auditorium.
For this relatively unpopular and unpopular position, no one should compete with him.
But compared to the arrogance of the elders, he appreciates Kunshan's temperament and is calm enough to like: "I will vote for Kunshan too."
"What's your reason?" I asked sitting in the hall. What this auditor said often made people dumbfounded.
“Kunshan is very elegant and fits the elegant name of our Zhihetang.”
Everyone was silent, please, brother! They are choosing a gang leader, not an oiran?
But since he has a high position, his vote cannot be invalidated and must be counted.
The old man sitting in the hall said: "I choose myself, I think I am qualified."
Two to two draws, now it’s up to Kunshan and his companion. The executioner asked Kunshan: “What do you think?”
Kunshan did not want to compete for the position of the chief hall master, but he felt that some of the actions of the chief hall master were too stubborn and were not conducive to Zhihe Hall: "I abstain from voting."
It is better for him to abstain than for him to vote for himself
The most critical vote fell in the hands of the accompanying hall master. Whoever he chose would be the chief hall master, but he was not optimistic about sitting in the hall. But Kunshan seemed to have no intention of competing for the position of chief hall master. He thought about it and felt a little embarrassed, and said:
"Let me think about it carefully and give me some time."
Everyone agreed that this was a big deal and he could think about it!
The younger brothers served them tea and then left. Several people sat and waited for the answer until someone came to report: "Gentlemen, the wife of the chief hall master is here and said she has something important to see you."
"Please quickly"
The middle-aged lady they had seen before walked into the conference room, looked at everyone present and asked, "Whose surname is Lu?"
"I" Kunshan stood up
"My husband gave this to me before he died. He asked me to give it to Xiao Lu." After saying that, the lady solemnly took out a jade ring from her pocket and handed it to Kunshan.
Kunshan was slightly startled, thanked him and took it: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
"No, I just fulfilled my husband's last wish. Now that the things are in your hands, I'll take my leave." After saying that, the lady turned around and left.
Everyone looked at the jade ring in Kunshan's hand, and Guan Tang said: "The ring represents power. If the chief hall master gives this to Kunshan, it means that he wants Kunshan to be the chief hall master."
