681: Questioning the Future Matriarch (2)

Questioning the Future Matriarch (2)

Everyone else in the room was silent for a moment. However, they did not greet Jian Yiling as the Zhai family's matriarch.0

"Master Sheng, it's not that we don't want to follow the rules. It's just that the Zhai family should consider our opinions as well when deciding on a future matriarch."

Just in case the head of the Zhai family was muddleheaded, this rule had been set in place. After all, if the head of the Zhai family was only interested in a woman, they could do things that were detrimental to their entire alliance.

Zhai Yunsheng narrowed his eyes before he said: "Are you telling me that you're not satisfied with Yiling?"

The six of them had similar expressions on their faces. The answer to this question was yes. However, none of them dared to directly say so.

Finally, the young man in his thirties opened his mouth: "Yes, we have doubts about Miss Yiling's abilities. We don't think she can fulfill the responsibilities of the Zhai family's matriarch."

Zhai Yunsheng looked at the man.

The man's name was Wei Qirui. The problematic company Quan Xin was under his name.

In the past two years, the man had been quite ambitious. Zhai Yunsheng knew about this.

However, the man didn't do anything too excessive yet. As a result, the Zhai family couldn't really punish him.

Then, the only other woman present in the room besides Jian Yiling spoke up: "Master Sheng, what Mr. Wei said isn't wrong. Miss Yiling's temper looks way too soft. She seems easy to bully. As a result, she's not suited to be the matriarch of the Zhai family."

"Too soft?" Zhai Yunsheng wickedly smiled.

Jian Yiling's temper was too soft?

She was sometimes soft in front of the people she cared about.

However, it was a completely different story if she was with people she did not care about.

It seemed as though these people wanted to see the side of Jian Yiling that was not soft.

The old man with a round body attempted to mediate the situation: "Master Sheng, please don't be angry. We're not against Miss Yiling becoming the matriarch of the Zhai family. However, we want to spend some time evaluating whether or not she can fulfill her role. The ancestral rules allow us to do so."

"Okay," Zhai Yunsheng responded. He did not plan to force them, "Since there's such a statement in the ancestral rules, you guys are allowed to consider. However, for now, you should still greet her as the matriarch of the Zhai family. Of course, it's a completely different situation if you have a valid reason not to."

"This…"

The old man looked at the others in the room.

Everyone had a difficult expression on their face.

As of right now, they didn't have a proper reason.

Once again, Wei Qirui spoke up: "My reason is that I don't believe Miss Yiling is capable enough to become the matriarch of the Zhai family. I believe that this is a good enough reason. What do you think, Master Sheng?"

At this moment, Jian Yiling spoke up. Her voice was soft and did not sound intimidating:

"The accounts of Quan Xin from March to May last year were falsified. I have already pointed out the falsified data on the platform."

This was the same platform that Zhai Yunsheng gave her the password for this morning.

The matriarch of the Zhai family had the right to send messages directly to others.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly took out their phones and computers. They went to check the message on the platform.

Then, the crowd looked at Wei Qirui with astonished expressions.

Wei Qirui also received the same message.

The contents of the message made his expression incredibly unpleasant.

Under the stares of the crowd, Wei Qirui attempted to justify his actions: "Well, it seems as though there is a little bit of a problem with the data. However, what about it? Isn't it a normal thing for a company's accounts to have some problems once in a while?"

"I'm proving that I'm capable of being the matriarch of the Zhai family," Jian Yiling replied.

"With just this?" Wei Qirui replied. He was not impressed. "There are professional accountants nowadays. Being able to read the accounts is no longer an essential skill for the matriarch of the Zhai family."
