Chapter 242: The old boss brings a "son-in-law" to campaign
Under the auspices of the Great Elder, the entire tribe worships their ancestors and then completes a series of pre-meeting rituals. Everyone here is religious, at least on the surface.
The next link is that the current head of the Chai family reports to the Council of Elders on the current situation of the Chai family, the old head is fully prepared, and all kinds of data are quite beautiful.
He also counted the trade with the Binhe District, and according to statistics, 3,000 tantalum coins flowed into the Chai family's account from the south of the city wall in nearly 60 days. According to the calculation of 10,000 yuan of tantalum currency for fiat currency, this is definitely a lot of income.
Zhao Hui secretly thought in his heart that at least most of the three thousand tantalum coins were presented by Yang Wei, of course, they were trading commodities, which was normal, and each took the desired win-win ending.
The Presbyterian Church expressed satisfaction with the work done by the head of the family in various aspects such as economy, security, and the preservation of the family's reputation. The report of the head also won the applause of the people of the side tribes attending the meeting, and Chai Xiaoxia behind him was so unhappy, the reason why the tantalum coins in the Binhe District quickly flowed into the Chai family was inseparable from her contributions.
Next, each side branch reports to the elders' meeting on the latest situation, such as what everyone is doing in their respective positions, what difficulties they have encountered, and what changes they hope will have in the family.
Two hours later, the Great Elder summed up the work, but in fact, his summary had only one action, and that was to enter into contemplation.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes, nodded meaningfully, and said in his hoarse voice as he tapped the table, "The election of the head of the family has officially begun. β
Everyone fell silent and looked at the Great Elder respectfully, this was the highlight of the day.
"The Chai family has lived in the third phase of the Blue Dream Home Immigration Star for thousands of years, continuing the fine tradition. Today, as we did twenty-five years ago, we are electing a new head to run the family. β
"According to the genealogical records, there are thirty-seven branches of the family. Each of you may nominate one candidate to the House of Representatives, and after three votes, the Council of Elders will decide on the spot the new leader, and you can abstain if there is no suitable candidate. β
There are not a few of the 37 branches that have chosen to abstain for different reasons, and some of them, which obviously do not have the advantage, have given their voting rights to some powerful candidates in advance.
There are also a few families on the old master's side that are relatively close to him, but it is unknown whether they can get their help on this occasion today. It is not uncommon for people to go to the good and see the wind making the rudder.
"Lao Jiu, you are the current head, so it starts with you." The "Old Nine" in the mouth of the Great Elder is Chai Xiaoxia's father.
The head of the family stood up respectfully and bowed to all the clansmen present, and then slowly spoke: "My family Haoyu went to the fifth district some time ago to look for the family's lost heirloom sapphire and was unfortunately seriously injured, and he will not be able to support the overall situation of the Chai family in the future, fortunately, my daughter Xiaoxia has quite excellent management ability, so I recommend Chai Xiaoxia to enter the public discussion." β
As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar, although there were rumors that Chai Haoyu, the eldest son of the Chai family, was injured, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that he could give up the position of head of the election.
There were a few parents among these clansmen who had a disdainful smile on their lips, and they knew that the situation was completely different. It has long been reported that the eldest son of the Chai family has been infected with the storm virus and is now being locked up in a secret basement in Chai Mansion.
If nothing else, the team they sent at this time has attacked the Chai Mansion compound, and as long as they find evidence, they will send a video to the venue, then the "Old Nine" will be in danger of his life, and even his entire family will be spurned and expelled by the Chai family.
The Council of Elders will never allow the Chai family to have a storm man, which is a great shame for the human nobles.
Zhao Hui took advantage of the dim light to look around the audience, and he knew at a glance who was in the know. If it wasn't his surprise, Cheng Menglan and the others would have started to get busy at this time.
The elders were silent, and the following voices began to be heard.
Chai Xiaoxia was extremely uncomfortable stared at by all kinds of strange eyes, but she was also relieved when she saw her father's calm expression, especially with Zhao Hui beside her, she suddenly felt full of confidence, and simply raised her head and turned a deaf ear to the sound of discussion.
One elder suggested to the Great Elder, "We need a male head. β
"Is there any family rule that says that the head of the Chai family must be a man?"
In the face of the questioning of the head, several elders couldn't give an answer, and the family rules did not write this article, but clearly stipulated that as long as "the descendants of the Chai family's bloodline" can be recommended.
Even the Great Elder can't break the rules handed down by his ancestors, and what is clearly written in the article can't be changed.
Zhao Hui was secretly amused, it seemed that the head of the sect had done a lot of hard work before, otherwise why would he stand here today confidently and question the more than thirty clansmen and more than a dozen elders present.
Since he couldn't reject his recommendation, he had no choice but to accept it, which gave some other competitors a good opportunity to challenge Chai Xiaoxia with their own male heir, and the odds of winning suddenly became much greater.
The Great Elder raised his scepter and pointed at Zhao Hui and asked the master, "Since this young man is not Chai Gongzi, what is his identity?" β
Chai Xiaoxia replied loudly: "My fiancΓ©." β
"It's not your turn to speak yet, Miss Chai!" The eldest elder was very polite, and now he asked the old master how he could allow the little girl to speak, "Since the eldest lady is going to get married, she will not be the Chai family in the future, what kind of recommendation is this?" β
The old boss calmly explained: "Xiaoxia will not marry, but recruit Zhao Hui in. β
"Zhao Hui?"
Hearing this name made many people thunder, and some people couldn't help but exclaim.
The faces of several elders changed greatly, how could it be Zhao Hui. Don't look at him, he usually doesn't go out of the door, but he still has some understanding of the major events that happened in the storm world, and the name Zhao Hui is not the first time he has heard of it.
Just when everyone was surprised, Zhao Hui took a step forward, bowed slightly, and then politely explained: "Don't get me wrong, although I have the same name as Zhao Hui from that special zone, I am not him. β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, almost not scared to death.
Some people obviously don't believe it, they have inside information that this Zhao Hui is the Zhao Hui in the Binhe District who has made the world uneasy, but it is unknown how he can pass through layers of security checks and appear here.
It is precisely because there is no evidence that there is no seizure at the moment, and when the good news comes from the rear, the mask of the old boss will be exposed.
Zhao Hui certainly knew what these people thought, and he had already planned how to prove to the Council of Elders that he was human.
"Are you really not Zhao Hui of the Storm Clan?"
"The Great Elder is too worried......
Zhao Hui was about to say a few more polite words when he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing, and he saw the Great Elder standing in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Sure enough, he is a human master, and the old man's speed is so fast, maybe he can compete with Zhao Hui when he is young.
The Chai family's father and daughter secretly screamed that it was not good, the Great Elder must have suspected Zhao Hui, and personally tried to test this, what should I do?
Zhao Hui stood on the ground without changing his color, trying to calm his heart that was beating faster because of the sudden change, and only by concentrating could he better drive the dark wave.
