Chapter 649 Clan Head Voting
Qin Xuan frowned and said, "I don't think that's necessary."
Qin Leilei is the rightful heir to the family head position, so why create more trouble?
Qin Yiyi, however, persisted: "Second Uncle, do you think it's unnecessary, or are you afraid? Since everyone looks down on me, a mere woman, what's wrong with casting a vote? Could it be that someone is afraid? My becoming the head of the family is actually the will of the people?"
"You..." Qin Xuan choked, a breath stuck in his chest: "Fine, if you want to vote, then vote. It will put an end to these inappropriate thoughts of yours."
Qin Yiyi smiled and said, "Including you and Uncle Bai, there are a total of seven people in charge of the Qin family with voting rights. Does anyone have any objections?"
Qin Xuan glanced at Qin Leilei, who replied listlessly, "I'm fine with whatever."
The outcome is already decided; it's just a matter of how to deal with his sister.
Qin Xuan nodded: "Okay, let's vote."
Of the seven people in charge of the Qin family, besides Uncle Bai and Qin Xuan, the remaining five are Zhao Qiming, who is in charge of shipping.
Xu Sheng was in charge of overseas trade.
To take charge of the path of pharmaceutical technology research and development.
Xiao Ye, who is in charge of the group's finances.
And Qin Ying, Qin Cheng's older sister who manages the group's human resources and administration.
Most of these people are heads of various business units within the company. They frequently interact with Qin Leilei in their daily work, and Qin Leilei knows everyone very well.
He knew with his eyes closed that the other party would definitely support him.
Qin Ying, on the other hand, has always favored him since childhood. Even when Qin Xuan insisted on bringing Qin Feng back to compete against him, she always stood by his side, saying that there was no need for that and that Qin Leilei could be directly promoted.
Of the seven people voting, Qin Leilei didn't know where Qin Yiyi got her confidence from, believing she could win.
A short while later, two boxes were brought out.
On the left is Qin Leilei, and on the right is Qin Yiyi.
Voting begins.
First, Uncle Bai and Qin Xuan walked past the box and both threw it to Qin Leilei without prior arrangement.
Next was Xiao Ye, who, as he passed the box, naturally cast his vote for Qin Leilei.
Everything was as expected. Qin Leilei was too lazy to look at it anymore. He took out his phone and prepared to ask his subordinate about the progress of a contract that had not yet been completed.
However, as soon as he opened the chat box, he heard a gasp from the people below.
He paused, then looked at the voting table.
Xu Sheng surprisingly cast his vote for Qin Yiyi.
Qin Leilei was slightly taken aback, somewhat surprised.
What surprised him even more was that Zhao Qiming and Cheng Lu also stepped forward and cast their votes for Qin Yiyi.
This was completely unexpected, and his expression darkened drastically.
He put his phone back in his pocket, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the voting table.
After casting their votes for Qin Yiyi, the three people quickly left, none of them daring to meet Qin Leilei's gaze.
Qin Xuan stood next to Qin Leilei, frowning as he asked, "What happened?"
Qin Leilei sneered: "Just a traitorous parasite, it doesn't matter, it won't affect the overall situation, in the end it's Aunt's vote."
Qin Xuan looked at Qin Ying not far away and nodded.
Everyone, inside and outside the family, knows that Qin Ying dotes on Qin Leilei.
He had previously insisted on bringing Qin Feng back, but Qin Ying had openly and secretly opposed him countless times.
To put it bluntly, all of this is for Qin Leilei.
Currently, Qin Leilei and Qin Yiyi are tied. Although it looks tense, the final vote is for Qin Ying, so the outcome is still obvious.
As Qin Xuan thought about it, he unconsciously relaxed—the process wasn't important, the result was what mattered most.
However, what happened next made his heart jump into his throat again before he could even calm down.
Qin Ying surprisingly ignored Qin Leilei's box and directly threw her vote into Qin Yiyi's ballot box.
Qin Xuan: "?!"
Qin Leilei's playful expression vanished, replaced by a gloomy look.
He suddenly stood up and said in disbelief, "Auntie."
Qin Ying clenched and unclenched her hands at her side, and after a long while sighed: "Lei Lei, your aunt has watched you and your siblings grow up. You know I have always supported you, but the situation is different now. Yi Yi... is no longer the weak and frail little girl she used to be. You have seen it yourself. She is determined and capable now, and she is a good prospect who can take on great responsibilities."
“You are a man, and there will be many more opportunities for you. Even if you don’t become the head of the family, you will surely achieve great things in the future.”
Qin Leilei gave a cold laugh: "I've never heard my aunt say these things before."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Qin Ying's face, but she calmly said, "I'm sorry, Lei Lei."
Qin Xuan was furious: "Big sister, we're all family. Don't you find it ridiculous to say such high-sounding things? Tell me the truth, what benefits did Qin Yiyi promise you? Was it control of the Qin family's overseas companies? Or the trade channel in South Africa? Or even more, including the six subsidiaries under Lei Lei's management?"
Qin Ying's face turned pale, not for any other reason than that Qin Xuan had been hit by all of these.
Her willingness to switch sides and stand by Qin Yiyi's side, supposedly because she saw her potential and trump cards, was just a pretext. The main reason was the benefits Qin Yiyi had promised her...
However, these words sounded too harsh coming from Qin Xuan's mouth.
Her face was pale, and she sneered, retorting, "Qin Xuan, you call me righteous, but how good are you yourself? You can stand on the moral high ground to criticize me now because you have all the things you just mentioned!"
“I am your and Acheng’s older sister. In terms of ability and status, I am no less than you. But just because I am a woman, for so many years, I have never been allowed to touch the core business of the group. I have always been assigned the most peripheral tasks!”
"Let me tell you clearly today, I've had enough of those jobs of serving tea and water and bowing my head and smiling every day! So what if I support Yiyi? What she can give me is something that none of you can ever give me in your entire lives!"
"Then you can't... you can't betray him at the last minute! You treated Lei Lei like that before, now you're stabbing him in the heart with a knife!" Qin Xuan said through gritted teeth.
Qin Ying's face paled even more, but she forced herself to say, "Qin Xuan, are you pretending to be a good person now? I'm switching sides? But wasn't it you who has always disagreed with Lei Lei inheriting the position of family head all these years?!"
"It's not that I don't support Lei Lei, but because I'm following the ancestral rules! According to the rules passed down from the Qin family ancestors, every family head who wants to take the position of family head must defeat others in the arena."
“Lei Lei has now defeated 122 elites from the Qin family. Only his brother Xiao Feng has not yet been challenged. What’s wrong with me letting him have a match with Xiao Feng? It’s just that since Xiao Feng is unwilling to come back, it is reasonable for Lei Lei to inherit the position.”
"But you," he pointed at Qin Ying and Qin Yiyi through gritted teeth, "disregard ethics and morals, act against the natural order, and try to make a girl who has never even managed the company's accounts the head of the family. Do you really think we're dead?!"
