Everyone in the conference room suddenly fell silent. To be able to become the backbone of the Simon family, they must be knowledgeable and experienced. Their biggest reliance before was that there was no one to succeed the head of the Simon family. No matter how the head of the Simon family resisted, it was impossible to change the result of his abdication.
But what they could not have imagined was that Bessie suddenly jumped out and, with an absolutely strong attitude, completed the integration when they were not prepared and became the strongest contender for the position of head of the family.
Faced with Bessie's almost naked threat, most people chose to protect themselves and did not dare to confront Bessie.
Bessie turned to look at Patriarch Simon, "Father, since no one has any objections, let's announce the result."
The head of the Simon family also knew that this family meeting was very informal and would inevitably be met with backlash from everyone afterwards, but he didn't have time to ask too many questions now.
The two sides have already fallen out, what's the point in continuing to act?
It would be better to end it early and let the matter be settled, so that the rest will not be a headache for him.
Doesn’t Shen Qi support Bessie?
Let Shen Qi figure it out.
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then this matter is settled. From now on, Bessie will be the new head of our Simon family. I hope everyone can cooperate with him and contribute to the future development of our Simon family!"
No one in the meeting room said a word, protesting the decision of Bessie and his son in this way.
Bessie disagreed and did not announce the end of the meeting. Instead, she said, "I have just taken over the position of head of the family. As you all said, I still have some shortcomings in the family. Therefore, I will meet with you individually in the near future to discuss the future development direction of our Simon family. If you have any ideas, you can also tell me privately. I will definitely consider them seriously."
"Uncle Ella, you are my uncle, so let's start with you."
As soon as Bessie finished speaking, a guard came to Ella and looked like he wanted to invite her over.
Ella had no choice but to follow the guards to see Bessie.
Bessie had already arrived at an office next to the conference room. Her attitude was completely different from before. She immediately poured Ella a cup of coffee, and she didn't show any airs of a head of the family.
"Uncle Ella, you're aware of the current situation. I've just become the head of the family and need your full support. Asking you to come here is just a formality. As long as you publicly express your support after you leave, that will be enough. I'll also remember your kindness today and will definitely repay you adequately in the future."
Although Ella was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say it out loud because of the situation. He could only deal with it for the time being. As for whether he would still recognize Bessie as the head of the family after leaving here, that was another matter.
Of course, Bessie knew what Ella was thinking, but he didn't want to fall out with everyone, so he took out another document and placed it in front of Ella while drinking coffee.
"Uncle Ella, this is some news my people just sent over. I think it's quite interesting. You can take a look at it first."
Ella was puzzled. At this time, what documents was Bessie still showing him?
Is there something special about this document?
With this curiosity, he opened the file and was stunned at first glance, because this document recorded all his decisions in the past year, and even his detailed whereabouts in the past month, which naturally included many shady things.
Of course, what is mentioned here as something shady is actually tacitly accepted by many bigwigs. If everyone does it, it means that no one has done it, so he is not very worried about these things getting out. However, the fact that Bessie took out this document illustrates a problem, that is, Bessie knows his situation very well!
Even his daily actions could not be hidden from Bessie. If he wanted to oppose Bessie after returning, wouldn't he be completely in Bessie's hands?
Therefore, Bessie's original intention was not to let him see the document, but to tell him through this action how much power Bessie now has!
After realizing this, Ella's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
"Master, what are you talking about? Since you're already the master, then as your uncle, of course I have to give you my full support! Don't worry, I don't care what others think. To me, you're the master. Anyone who dares to oppose me will be the first to get on with it!"
Bessie smiled happily, but at the same time she was a little worried because this document was given to her by Shen Qi and was beyond her ability.
The fact that he became the head of the Simon family was entirely due to Shen Qi's manipulation behind the scenes. No matter how he develops in the future, he will probably never be able to escape Shen Qi's control in this life.
He didn't think it was a big deal before, but as he became the head of the family, his ambitions were further expanded, and naturally he felt very unhappy that there was someone above him.
However, thinking of Shen Qi's strength, Bessie could only suppress her dissatisfaction and dared not show it at all.
After seeing Ella off, Bessie called out several people from the conference room who had great say in the Smith family and were qualified to compete for the position of head of the family. She gave them each a document. The content of the document was actually similar to the document given to Ella. The main purpose was to let them see Bessie's current power.
They were not stupid. When they found out that Bessie had the power to easily monitor or even kill them, they naturally did not dare to resist and expressed their support for Bessie.
The strongest opposition voices within the Smith family were suppressed, and the remaining people were no longer a concern. At this point, Bessie finally secured her position as head of the family.
So when Bessie held a family meeting the next day, those small fry who were not summoned by Bessie found that the wind direction within the family suddenly changed. Those who had originally opposed Bessie turned out to be Bessie's die-hard supporters!
This change caught many small fish and shrimps off guard, but they had no choice but to change their stance and acknowledge Bessie's status as the head of the family.
Bessie took advantage of this family meeting to make her first decision: to send financial experts to Wall Street to help Wei Yingrong overcome difficulties and set up a financial company.
Bessie had a very good reason for doing this, that is, Shen Qi's threat has not been completely eliminated. Since their Simon family is no match for Shen Qi, they might as well be straightforward and show weakness to let Shen Qi relax his vigilance. Only then can their Simon family have a better development environment.
Everyone in the Simon family has witnessed how powerful Shen Qi is, so they will not object to Bessie's decision. Some even expressed their desire to change their strategy towards Shen Qi and the Shen family to see if they can make friends with Shen Qi. Only in this way can the problem be truly solved.
However, considering his previous attitude towards Shen Qi, Bessie couldn't change his position immediately. He could only be vague for the time being. When the conflict between Shen Qi and the Simon family weakened in the future, he would find a way to make the Simon family change their attitude towards Shen Qi.
