When many backbone members of the Simon family were panicking, the head of the Simon family stood up, asked everyone to be quiet, and then announced the theme of today's meeting: to re-elect the head of the Simon family.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the decision made by the head of the Simon family.
The difficulty they were struggling with before was that the head of the Smith family would not give up the position of head of the family easily, so they had to try every means to make the head of the Smith family accept the current facts and force him to give up his position.
But they only showed a little bit of such signs, and the head of the Simon family actually took the initiative to make concessions and agreed to re-elect the head of the family?
This good news comes too quickly, doesn’t it?
Since the head of the Smith family is so aware of the current situation, perhaps he can become a wealthy man after he abdicates. Anyway, the Smith family is not short of this little thing.
Soon someone stood up to express their agreement with this decision and hoped that the new head of the family could be selected tonight. Only by shortening the handover time between the two heads of the family as soon as possible can the Smith family avoid too many negative impacts.
Others also echoed and agreed with the opinion of the head of the Simon family, so the Simon family meeting immediately entered the second round to nominate family candidates.
Electing a new head of the family is not a simple matter. There are too many interests involved. Under normal circumstances, it is normal even if it is delayed for a year or two. After all, the decisions made on the surface are made at the cost of various interests exchanged in secret. If the situation this time was not too sudden, they would not have accepted this situation so quickly.
But no matter how urgent it is, the step of nominating candidates is still necessary. This is also the first round of interest exchange within the Smith family.
But they didn't expect that the head of the Simon family would raise objections at this time.
"No, I called everyone here not to discuss who is more suitable to be the new head of the family, but to inform you that I have already decided on the candidate for the new head of the family. You are only responsible for expressing your opinion."
Everyone was surprised again, and the meeting room fell into chaos. People were whispering to each other, and it was obvious that they were unwilling to accept the proposal of the head of the Simon family.
"Master, I'm afraid we can't accept your proposal! To be frank, our Simon family has fallen into this situation entirely because of your weakness. Therefore, you are no longer qualified to continue to serve as the master of the Simon family. The reason we haven't forced you to give up your position is to consider the overall situation. However, I didn't expect that you would actually want to pass the position of master to a designated candidate. Do you think that all of us are just for show?"
Since the head of the Smith family did not give them any room for choice from the beginning, they would of course rise up in resistance. They should first find a way to reject the candidates recommended by the head of the Smith family, and then they could nominate candidates according to their wishes, conduct various exchanges of interests, and finally get a situation that everyone is happy with.
Others in the meeting room also spoke out to express their agreement and disapproval of the Smith family's approach.
The head of the Simon family had already anticipated their reaction and didn't say much. Instead, he gave a wink to the captain of the guard. The captain of the guard snorted coldly and walked to the stage with a team of guards. He placed his pistol heavily on the table in front of everyone.
"Quiet! I'm under the orders of the Patriarch to maintain order in the venue. No one is allowed to make any noise!"
Although the guard captain did not fire a shot or say anything else, his position was already very clear. Everyone knew that the head of the Smith family still had absolute control over the guard team.
No wonder the head of the Simon family dared to convene a family meeting at this time, as he was actually trying to force them by force.
Although they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to jump out and cause trouble at this time, because the head of the Simon family might kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and they did not want to die here for no reason.
Anyway, the way that Patriarch Smith pushed his people to the position of Patriarch in this way will inevitably cause backlash from the crowd. They can completely unite secretly after this meeting and drive out the people pushed up by Patriarch Smith. Anyway, they will not compromise easily.
The head of the Simon family swept his eyes across the entire room, and when he saw that no one dared to speak, he felt even more proud.
"Since you all have no objections, I will announce the candidate for the new head of the family."
"Shen Qi came with such force today that none of you dared to stand up against him. I had no choice but to compromise with him in order to protect the interests of the Simon family. You don't understand my good intentions, and I don't blame you. But in my opinion, anyone who doesn't dare to stand up and fight Shen Qi head-on in the family's critical moment is not qualified to be the head of the family!"
"So after much thought, I think only Bessie is qualified to be the new head of the family. I also believe that he can lead our Simon family to better development."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room started discussing again.
They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't think of Bessie, simply because Bessie's presence in recent years was really too low, to the point that almost no one would remember him.
If Field hadn't died, Bessie would have been a mere figurehead.
Even though Bessie performed well today, his foundation in the Simon family is really too shallow, and he has no strength to compete for the position of head of the family.
If Bessie had been given a few more years to develop, the situation might have changed, but definitely not now.
So after everyone discussed it, someone soon stood up to oppose it.
"Master, I don't think Bessie is suitable. First of all, he doesn't know much about the family's internal affairs. If he takes over rashly, it might be detrimental to the family's development."
This time, without the head of the Smith family saying anything, Bessie took the initiative to step forward.
"Who says I don't understand the family's internal affairs? Although I've been a bit low-key these years, I'm still very concerned about the family's internal affairs. And with Mr. Evans' help, handling family affairs is a piece of cake. Not to mention the butler's assistance. As long as no one causes trouble, under my leadership, the Simon family's internal affairs will definitely not have any problems!"
The person who stood up to criticize snorted coldly and wanted to continue speaking, but Bessie spoke first, "I know what you want to say. You want to say that my foundation is insufficient, right? But the reality is, recently, my father has already handed over 70% of his property to me. Add to that the property I previously received from Brother Field and Uncle Ram. Who dares to say that my foundation is insufficient?"
"Also, there's one more thing. Before this meeting, my father had already handed over the command of the family guard team to me, so the problem you're worried about no longer exists. As long as I successfully ascend to the position of head of the family, I can legitimately manage the Simon family without any shortcomings in terms of strength or foundation. Or do you think that at this point, you still insist on opposing someone who is in a desperate situation and is willing to risk his life to protect the interests of the family?"
Bessie's words were also very impolite. She basically said that she was determined to get the position of head of the family, and whoever dared to oppose it would have to be prepared to pay the price!
