Bai Li certainly knew that she would encounter this problem tonight.

Levi had prepared a plan for her in advance, so when facing this problem, Bai Li still behaved casually and indifferently.

"I will naturally take over the position left by my father. Since the establishment of Zhulan, every chairman has the surname Qi, right?"

"The reason why I didn't show up after killing Qi Zicheng was because I was waiting for an opportunity. Before I returned to Zhulan, I heard about the undercurrents in Lanting. Many people wanted to go against tradition, not to mention that there was a traitor like Qi Zicheng. In this land where I was born and raised, even my closest relatives might betray me. Who else can I trust?"

Her voice was cold and oppressive. She was imitating the speech of the college's stupid student union president. Bai Li always thought that the idiot was pretentious, but she had to admit that such a tone did have the aura of a superior!

At least for now, the entire reception room was silent. The landlords said nothing, and Pang Ming looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

But soon, Bai Li's tone became relaxed again.

"Of course, after receiving Uncle Pang's secret letter, I realized that what can unite people is never blood, but will and thought. Now, can I think that everyone here is the person I can completely trust in this city?"

The landlords and Pang Ming present at the scene immediately expressed their loyalty, and it was from this time that the situation changed from "they asked and Bai Li answered" to "Bai Li spoke and they expressed their opinions".

She has taken control of the situation! "Of course I have to announce my return to the entire Lanting, but if it is just a simple notification, it will inevitably make those who want to pull the Qi family down from the position of chairman look down on me. So I would like to ask everyone to do me a favor."

"Please go ahead."

"The day after tomorrow, please gather all 72 gentlemen of Lanting in your name and formally begin discussing the new chairman. I will also show up at that time. While publicly announcing the numerous crimes committed by Qi Zicheng, I will also provide enough capital to prove myself and prove that the Qi family will always hold the position of chairman, and will do a better job!"

“Pah, pah, pah!”

Pang Ming led the applause, and after him, the landlords also clapped with joy on their faces, as if they were sincerely happy and excited that the former chairman would have such an outstanding successor! "Please leave this matter to us, and we will definitely gather everyone together when the time comes!"

Bai Li also showed trust in the promises they made.

After that, there was another period of idle chatter. Just when Bai Li showed that he was sleepy and wanted to take a rest and see the guests off, one of the landlords opened his mouth as if he was about to say something, but the person next to him pulled his arm hard, stopping him from saying anything.

"It's getting late, miss, you should have a good rest first, we won't disturb you any more."

They stood up together, but Pang Ming was the only one who was slow to move. He deliberately stayed at the end. Some of the other nine landlords noticed his little move, but they just glanced at him, didn't say much, and walked out of the apartment together.

After they went out, security guards from various households immediately came forward, but the landlords waved their hands impatiently and asked them to step back. They then gathered together again outside the apartment.

This time, the conversation lacked the respect and courtesy that they had shown to Bai Li in the apartment a few minutes ago.

"Pang Ming stayed here on his own. He must have wanted to find a piece of land for his family."

"Humph, otherwise why is he working so hard? Isn't it because he wants to become us?"

"The 72 seats cannot be changed. If he comes in, someone will definitely have to leave."

"Anyway, it's impossible for people like you and me to leave. But why did you hold me back and prevent me from saying anything just now?"

"Can't you see? Although our young lady's methods are immature, she is obviously ambitious. She wants to seize power and truly control Zhulan."

"So what? Will she still mistreat us, the elders who have always supported her and helped her keep her position in the Qi family?"

"That's hard to say. People now think that she has controlled the situation and stabilized her position by herself. We? At best, we are just icing on the cake."

"What should we do? If the result is the same whether we help her or not, then aren't all our efforts in vain?"

"Don't worry. Even if she has ideas and means, she is still young. We will do as she says and organize the people in Lanting. Then we will see what she can come up with to convince everyone. Don't let her rely on us to support her!"

After the final meeting, they finally went their separate ways.

In the apartment, Pang Ming, who deliberately stayed last to create his own private space, smiled at Bai Li.

"Miss, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."

Bai Li was watering Xiaobai with nutrient water. It wasn't her money anyway, so she watered the plant lavishly, making Xiaobai's leaves stretch out involuntarily.

"you say."

"Your classmate can be called your savior. But let's talk about the facts. The things he did later were all serious violations of Zhulan's laws! Many people in Lanting were irritated by this and gnashed their teeth at his actions."

Bai Li turned her head and glanced at Pang Ming.

"Uncle Pang, there's no need for us to beat around the bush. Just tell me what you think."

"What I want to say is that a favor is a favor, but the bottom line is also the bottom line. If you want to make everyone shut up and fully acknowledge your position at the Lanting meeting in three days, perhaps you can... bring him to justice."

Pang Ming's smile was very attentive. Unlike those landlords, he did not have such a large background, and the position of police chief could not be passed down from generation to generation in his Pang family.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

So he will appear more loyal and pure than others. After all, all his power comes from the chairman.

After Bai Li succeeded to the throne, she could turn Pang Ming from being the center of attention to being nothing at any time if she wanted to! But even though she knew that Pang Ming was the most loyal, Bai Li still felt disgusted and nauseated by the words he said.

She tried her best to hide her disgust deep in her heart, and spoke in a deep voice as Levi had taught her.

"Otherwise, what do you think is the capital that I'm talking about that everyone recognizes?"

Pang Ming was pleasantly surprised, as if he was excited that Bai Li could be so ruthless and determined! "That's great! Miss, your succession to the position of chairman will be foolproof!"

Bai Li stared at him.

"What else is there, Uncle Pang?"

Pang Ming continued speaking somewhat awkwardly.

"I have one more unwelcome request. Miss, can you give me a chance? From now on, let me and my descendants become vassals of the Qi family forever and serve the Qi family!"

He wanted to be a landlord! Bai Li could certainly hear his core demand, and she just smiled sweetly.

"That's the best, Uncle Pang. Lanting needs someone as talented as you!"

Hearing her promise, Pang Ming was overjoyed! He did not linger any longer, but after thanking her repeatedly, he hurriedly left the apartment.

Bai Li was left looking at the door that had been completely closed with gradually cold eyes, and spoke in a low voice.

"A bunch of blood suckers. Wait."

Xiaobai, who had drunk enough nutritious water, burped comfortably.

I will continue writing after I wake up, and then continue to post
