The Helis family has been quiet for several days since Lorraine Hill's visit that day. Miss Melu ordered that the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters be completely sealed, and no one is allowed to enter or exit at will.
A few days later, the door to the headquarters of the Helis Chamber of Commerce opened. To outsiders, it seemed to be the same as usual, but the internal staff found that some faces had disappeared. It was said that they had been assigned to work in distant branches.
Later, the main stewards of various branches of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, especially Melu’s uncles and relatives, received invitations from the master’s family. The invitation stated that due to the recent excessive enjoyment of the Hoth family’s head, the priest of the Angel Temple
After the diagnosis, he feared that he would not die soon, so he invited everyone to come and discuss the successor of the Chamber of Commerce.
If there were some normal meetings, these relatives of Helis would rather not go and not many would be present. But when the transfer of the Chamber of Commerce and the distribution of property were mentioned, they would swarm in like flies smelling fishy smell, fearing not to go.
It's too late to have soup.
In this way, in just one week, these distant relatives arrived one after another and gathered together.
Hellis House, main meeting room.
Hoss was sitting at the top of the hall, his face a little pale, his body as fat as a ball of soft white bread. From time to time, the maid would bring health-preserving medicinal soup next to him. To his right was his eldest daughter, Melu, sitting next to him.
It is the youngest son Bell.
Among the many stewards in the audience, all kinds of eyes are looking at the head of the family in the middle. There are envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire. All kinds of eyes are looking at these members of the head's family. Now the meeting is still going on.
Before it even started, they were whispering underground, exchanging and testing each other, trying to figure out what each other was paying attention to.
Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar, yet so strange. When did everyone get to this point? There was no longer the warmth of the past, and only the love for each other was left.
The greed for money seems to be the only value and meaning of life.
Or maybe this is the norm. People's hearts are fickle, but benefits are long-lasting, touching, and unable to extricate themselves. She sighed silently in her heart, and then there was a slight pulling sensation on her arm.
"Bell, well, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, my sister will protect you."
Meilu held her brother's hand to calm his uneasiness, and then the meeting finally officially began.
The host first clapped his hands and asked everyone to calm down slowly. He briefly introduced the reason for convening everyone this time. Since the head of the family, Huo Si, was unwell, he decided to abdicate in favor of others.
"I'm sorry to summon everyone at this time." Hoss said, his speech was not fast and his voice was a little weak.
"Master, you are 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. Although they were all words of concern, their excited eyes did not look like they cared about Hoss. I am afraid they were more secretly happy. After all, Hoss was the son of the previous head of the family. Although he was not strong enough, he
Seniority can still suppress them. 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 Melu has a certain strength, she is a daughter and will get married sooner or later. She is just an outsider. What qualifications does she have to manage the family? They will not have to be entrusted to them by then.
Handling chamber of commerce affairs, hahaha.
"So, I am going to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Meilu, and let her handle it."
When Hoss said these words, there was an uproar below, and everyone showed expressions of disbelief. Suddenly, the kind face before became ugly, and all kinds of doubts sounded.
"Master, think twice. Melu is just a little girl. It's too much for her to take charge."
"Yes, why should the Chamber of Commerce be handed over to a daughter?"
“Chambers of Commerce should be led by experienced people”
"I think Lord Vito is right."
....
The voices below suddenly became noisy, and many people started to make a noise. Everyone expressed their opinions on the most suitable leader in their minds, and some simply recommended themselves. With sweat on his head, Hoss said a few more words, but unfortunately
No one listened, they just vented their dissatisfaction and argued about who was qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.
Melu stood up, patted her father on the back, and said a few words in his ear. Hoss's anxious face slowly calmed down, and then several guards escorted him and Bell out of the nearby small side door.
Under the cover of the noisy voices in the meeting hall, the sound of armor clashing outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.
Some people noticed Hoss's departure and were about to step forward to question him, but were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared. They seemed to be sparsely standing in front of the stage, but they were guarding against anyone who wanted to come forward.
Boom——
Boom——
The big bell in the meeting hall was rung, and the metallic trill of the bell spread clearly throughout the venue. At this time, the scene gradually became quiet. When everyone saw that only Mei Lu was left on the rostrum, they finally felt that something was wrong.
"Miss Melu, where is Lord Hoth?"
Several stewards began to ask, and others also looked at Melu, waiting for her answer.
"My father is not feeling well and has gone back to rest. I will take care of the rest."
"Melu, please come down from the stage. Hoss is ignorant. Why would you, a girl, take on such an important responsibility?"
An uncle said loudly, some other people began to echo, and more people looked on coldly.
Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green dress, with a bright yellow camellia flower on her shoulder that stood out. Her face could not be seen clearly in the slightly dim meeting hall, only the chestnut-gold long skirt was visible.
Hair hanging on the chest.
"Does Uncle Vito think I'm not suitable?" Her voice was a little cold.
"Yes."
"But I still want to do this, what should I do?"
"Don't act like this, we are doing it for your own good."
"But I insist on it."
Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice became colder and colder, and more and more decisive.
"you......"
Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.
"You are just a member of the Helles family branch. What qualifications do you have to yell in front of me?"
"I usually call you uncle, but 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 on, the Helis family will be unified again, and 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 express it here."
Her voice was clear and decisive. Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives and elders present. Her black eyes slowly swept across the audience. As she finished speaking, groups of fully armed guards filed in from the side door. They
In silence, only the sound of metal collision could be heard. Three hundred steel-armored guards completely blocked the venue. No one could escape from this silent hall.
