Chapter 406: Crying about the school director, Frost’s abstention
Hearing Su Mo's accusation, Frost's forehead veins jumped and he was about to say something.
At this time, Dame Laurent took the lead in speaking.
"Whether it is intentional or not, your speech is a serious accusation. And the current topic is not this. If you want to discuss the Gattuso family, you still need to wait for the next meeting to be officially held. We will stop here for now.
Is that okay?”
Just based on Media Asia Group's affairs, even if there is evidence, it is impossible to directly kill the Gattuso family.
It is better to let it go and let the Gattuso family leave the impression of a suspect to other school directors.
By doing this, Countess Laurent was actually protecting Su Mo. Of course, she could also disgust the Gattuso family.
"Of course. I have always believed that the Gattuso family is innocent and that they are all villains. Even if they are thoroughly investigated by the school board, there will never be any problems found!"
Su Mo said righteously.
Everyone could tell that he didn't mean what he said. Charlotte covered her mouth with her hands and almost laughed out loud. Frost's face turned even greener.
"Back to the formal topic, what you just said shows that the Japanese branch has its own purpose and is not worthy of complete trust. Then why do you judge that they can become partners?"
Dame Laurent also asked with a smile.
"Having your own purpose does not mean that there is a problem with your position. As far as I know, the eight Sheqi families have also been sticking to the human front. They have been purging those hybrids who have fallen to the side of dragon blood since thousands of years ago.
On the fundamental stance of slaying the dragon, they are consistent with us."
Su Mo replied seriously.
Having their own interests, it is not actually a big problem. The reason why the school directors in front of them are willing to give a large amount of funds to support Cassel College to slay the dragon every year is definitely not a completely money-losing business.
The Dragon Blood family that is really losing money is now in a state of semi-retirement, and will only come forward in emergencies, such as the Beowulf family.
In terms of stance, Su Mo did not give any favor to the Sheqi Eight Families. In fact, any hybrid organization that is truly in charge of one party will inevitably stand on the side of slaying the dragon. It is the ruler's responsibility to clean up the deadpools and maintain stability.
obligation.
"The Dragon Slayer's stance is firm, it's much better than the average mixed-race family."
Countess Laurent nodded.
Other school directors agree with this opinion.
In the mixed-race society, the Secret Party is considered the most radical dragon-slaying sect. In their eyes, other mixed-race families are suspected of being raped. Although they are not entangled with dragons, they may all be involved in dangerous bloodlines.
Taboo.
If the Sheqi family had no problem with their stance on dragon slaying, they wouldn't have to worry about anyone betraying them because of the temptation of dragon power.
Compared with the benefits brought by the White King's descendants, this point is more important.
"In terms of stance, their only problem is that local protectionism is a bit heavy, but this situation should be improved through communication and communication. They have promised to be loyal to the secret party."
Su Mo said sincerely that mixed reviews are easier to convince.
"Local protectionism? It's really not a big problem."
All middle-aged men grunted.
The Gattuso family is about to turn the Italian branch of the Kassel Academy into a single one, and no one will care about it. As long as they can slay the dragon, this trivial matter is not important.
"However, you said that the eight Sheqi families are willing to show their loyalty. How can you guarantee this?"
He asked the last and most critical question.
"Guaranteed through their elected representative - Eri Yi."
Su Mo looked directly into his eyes and said.
"If the Sheki Hachi family joins the school board of directors, they will let Eriki serve as the school director. I think no one will question the position of a dragon slayer who killed the dragon king Constantine, right?"
He pointed directly from the moral high ground.
In the secret party, a dragon slayer who kills the dragon king is a heroic figure. Even a member of the school board would not do such a stupid thing if he rashly accuses a dragon slayer.
suspicion.
This is the benefit of having Eri become a dragon slayer.
Not only did she unquestionably demonstrate her strength, but she also won the unimpeachable moral high ground.
"..."
The middle-aged man was suddenly speechless. Facing someone like Eri with the aura of a dragon slayer, he really couldn't say anything questioning.
But the doubt would not disappear just because his mouth was blocked. After dozens of seconds of silence, the old man with the prayer beads spoke.
"You said before that Uesugi-san is immature mentally and is still a child mentally. Are you sure that a child can stick to his own position like an adult?"
He used what Su Mo had said to euphemistically express his concerns.
However, when faced with this problem, Su Mo asked confidently.
"It is precisely because she is still a child that she is more worthy of your trust, isn't it?"
"What's the meaning?"
The middle-aged man asked curiously.
"A child who did not have a satisfactory stay at Sheqiba's family has now come to Kassel College and has made so many friends. Do you think this child will prefer Kassel College or have painful memories?
The eight Sheqi families?”
Su Mo asked directly back.
Upon hearing this, the school directors' eyes lit up.
"Is this the ancient political wisdom of exchanging protons... It makes sense!"
The old man with the prayer beads nodded slightly.
"Precisely because the mind is like a child, it is highly malleable and more easily affected by the environment, so this aspect is beneficial to us."
Dame Laurent also understood Su Mo's logic and nodded in appreciation.
Most of the school directors agreed with Su Mo's view. With Eli Yi's mind, as long as she was influenced by Kassel College for a long time, she would naturally become close to the Secret Party, and there was no need to worry that she would harm the interests of the Secret Party for the sake of family interests.
In this case, she is even more trustworthy than the position of some school directors.
Only Charlotte found it difficult to accept this.
She stared at Su Mo and asked.
"Uesugi-san is at least your friend! Did you bring her out from the Seraki Hachi family just to gain her trust and then influence her choices?"
It was hard for her to accept that the beautiful fairy tale suddenly collapsed into a dirty political drama.
Hearing her childish words, Countess Laurent's mouth twitched slightly, but it was difficult to discipline this child in front of others.
The other school directors either had expressionless faces or were happy to watch the show and did not speak.
The housekeeper coughed many times but could not stop her.
Hearing this nonsensical question, Su Mo asked helplessly.
"Have you ever met a friend who can't gain the other person's trust or influence the other person's choices?"
"..."
Charlotte choked, and then realized that what she asked was nonsense.
Before she could continue to add, she heard Su Mo continue to speak.
"I know what you mean, but you don't have to be so anxious. Is it a bad thing for you to be close to the secret party? Is it true that Kassel Academy, which brings happiness, is more interested in bringing happiness than the Sheqi Eight Family that brings pain?
Is it a mistake?"
"...No, it seems not."
Charlotte shook her head hesitantly.
With Su Mo's words able to persuade even the Dragon King, a genuine minor like her is still too young.
"Since it's not a mistake, then what are you resisting? Don't you think that I must help Eri at the expense of my own interests in order to satisfy the inexplicable spiritual obsession and prove to outsiders that our relationship is different from the world?
Interests have nothing to do with it, right?"
Su Mo spread his hands and looked into the other party's dark green eyes.
Although he didn't say it, it was clearly written on his face.
——How about you just play house?
"Oh~ yes, I'm sorry!"
Unable to refute, Charlotte blushed and screamed, then immediately apologized.
After Su Mo said this, she realized that she was being unreasonable.
Seeing her like this, Countess Laurent shook her head, not that she thought it was a bad thing.
The housekeeper sighed and bowed slightly to Su Mo to apologize.
But he doesn't think this is a bad thing. Young ladies always have to grow up.
"It doesn't matter. If Eri knows that someone cares about her so much, she will be happy too."
Su Mo smiled slightly and his tone became gentle again.
"As for your worries, there is actually no need. Eri, who is under the influence of the academy, will not harm the interests of the secret party. Her father and brother are in the Sheqi Eighth Family, and she will not harm the interests of the Sheqi Eighth Family. From the beginning,
The Sheqi Hachi family knew this from the beginning, otherwise they wouldn’t have agreed to let Eriki come over.”
Eri's position as school director is actually just a weight that reassures both parties. With her here, neither party has to worry about the other party messing around.
As for Eriki herself, she actually has no extra pressure, she is just a mascot.
Hearing what Su Mo said, Charlotte realized that this was a tacit understanding between the two forces. Judging from the expression of Dame Laurent, the other school directors may have thought of this already. Only she is still in the fairy tale.
Spin.
She immediately bowed slightly gratefully, thanking Su Mo for telling her this.
Seeing Charlotte thanking Su Mo with tears in her eyes, Dame Laurent suddenly realized how Su Mo persuaded those royal hybrids.
This guy's persuasive ability is indeed very strong!
Making the school director cry when he attended the first meeting was equivalent to making the secret party elders cry in ancient times. In a sense, Su Mo also made history.
After this incident passed, the school directors looked at each other and almost had their answers in their minds.
The old man with the prayer beads finally asked.
"If the secret party rejects the request of the Sheqi family, what will they do?"
It seems that they have recognized Su Mo's reasons and have begun the final review.
"If the secret party refuses, the eight Sheqi families may have no choice but to surrender to the enemy!"
Su Mo smiled slightly, and after seeing the surprised looks in the school directors' eyes, he added leisurely.
"Sorry, I said it wrong. I meant that they might re-alliance with the Gattuso family, just like Tachibana Masamune once did."
After hearing this, the school directors once again turned their attention to Frost.
The facts are unclear, but according to what Su Mo said before, Tachibana Masamune is a member of the Gattuso family.
Masamune Tachibana has indeed joined forces with the Gattuso family. According to these words, the suspicion of the Gattuso family is indeed not small.
Frost: "..."
The Gattuso family has provoked you!
At this time, Angers also spoke.
"The fact that the eight Sheqi families are willing to hand over their family secrets in exchange for the secret party's trust is actually very exemplary and directly reveals to us a way to avoid direct conflict."
"I think that as long as the family is not colluding with the Dragon Clan, they should be willing to have such a retreat in the worst case scenario——"
At the end, he smiled and added.
"Oh, by the way, I'm not alluding to the Gattuso family!"
Frost's face turned black with anger.
You’re not done yet, aren’t you?
"Okay, okay, everyone, don't talk with guns blazing. We already know the specific situation. I believe all school directors have also investigated the information before the meeting."
The middle-aged man acted as a peacemaker, suppressed the conflict, and then said.
"It's time to enter the final stage. Let Uesugi-san come in! After the final evaluation, we should start the voting stage!"
Today’s topic is to add school directors, and Su Mo’s speech was the final supplementary explanation.
After the additional explanations, it’s time to enter the final voting session.
Of course, before that, they still need to confirm whether Eriyi is as obedient as Su Mo said.
Soon, under Norma's call, Eryi finally walked in.
Seeing so many strangers staring at her at the door, she subconsciously ran between Su Mo and Xia Mi, and then showed a relieved expression.
Facing Eriyi's test, it's the simplest.
Su Mo didn't do much extra training before this, and just let Eri Yi show her original attitude.
Su Mo even specially asked Eriki to remember some things related to the Eight Sheqi Family. Otherwise, if the school director asked and found that Eriki had already forgotten the Eight Sheqi Family, it would be annoying.
suspicious.
Although Eri Yi has indeed left the Sheqi Hachi Family behind.
And sure enough, Eriyi's performance was quickly recognized by the school directors.
After the final review, the school directors opened the final vote.
The two votes in Angers' hands were immediately cast in support, and Dame Laurent also voted. The vote in Charlotte's hand should have been prompted by Countess Laurent, but it was probably because she had wronged Su Mo.
Sorry, she voted out quickly.
There were nine seats, four voted in favor, one abstained, and four people did not vote.
Abstaining was the Gattuso family.
Unexpectedly, the Gattuso family had no objection. Su Mo was slightly surprised and began to observe Frost.
At this time, voting is still ongoing.
After hesitating for a few minutes, the middle-aged man and the old man with Buddhist beads also voted in favor.
There have been a total of six votes in favor, reaching two-thirds, which means that the matter of the eight Sheqi families entering the school board of directors has been completely decided!
A quarter of an hour later, the voting ended.
The final result was seven votes in favor and two abstentions.
"I officially announce that I welcome the eight Sheqi families to join the school board of directors, and I also welcome Miss Eriki to become a member of the school board of directors."
Dame Laurent looked at Eri with a smile.
The number of seats on the school board has been officially increased from nine to ten.
Eriyi nodded confusedly. In fact, she didn't quite understand what a school director was. Su Mo asked her to be a school director, so she became one.
Seeing Eriki's confused look, Charlotte felt very close to her. She was also like this when she was a school director.
After being welcomed with applause, Eri got her own exclusive spot.
Afterwards, Su Mo and Anger looked at each other. They both noticed the abnormality of the Gattuso family and decided to test it out.
"Now that today's main topics have been completed, and it just so happens that the eight Sheqi families have joined the secret party, should we discuss the secret hidden by another family?"
Angers looked at Frost and said bluntly.
"This time, I am indeed referring to the Gattuso family."
