C1986 Good Offices
Voices rose and fell one after another. Those who had long stood in line all expressed their approval. To them, this was a great opportunity to obtain more resources.0
Every time the clan lined up, it meant that some people would be eliminated, and whoever took the initiative would get even more. When that time comes, his status in the family would skyrocket, and he would receive even more.
"I won't speak any more nonsense. You should know how much I've done for the clan."
Looking at the members who supported him with satisfaction, Chu Jingye looked at the ones who didn't say anything: "What about you guys? Do I choose to support them or to oppose them? "
His voice was filled with an air of authority and authority, as his words transformed into an oppressive aura that engulfed the crowd. Some of the wavering members couldn't bear the pressure and all chose to rely on him.
There were eight people that chose to stand on Chu Jingye's side, and now there were five people that compromised due to the pressure. This meant that there were 13 people who chose to support him, while the other 7 people chose to oppose this decision.
"Second Patriarch, although the lord isn't here anymore, the master's position should belong to Young Master Chu, right?"
One of the seven people said: "Successor father, this is an unwritten rule of our Chu Family, now you have broken it, Second Patriarch."
After this person objected, the other six people also expressed their opinions. They all remembered Chu Jingye's character and what he had done for the family.
Chu Jingye had been coveting the position of the family head and had done many evil deeds behind Chu Jingye's back. To be more accurate, it wasn't just a bad thing, but during the period when the family head was ill, he had also been doing well in the family's businesses.
"Oh? It seems like you guys have a huge problem with me, do you think it is inappropriate for me to be the Patriarch? "
Chu Jingye sneered, then pointed at the dejected Chu Tian and said, "If it was any other time, I would fully support Little Tian as the family head, but the situation in the family does not allow it."
His voice became sharper as he ridiculed, "Besides, I'm only temporarily serving as the head of the family. When my family recovers in the future, I will give up my position to Little Tian."
Good offices. What was needed most of all now was good offices. The first step was to stabilize the morale of the troops. With time slowly passing by, who would care about such a thing?
It was also because of these words that the voices of those who objected were lowered by quite a bit. Even though he was on Chu Tian's side and wanted Chu Tian to be the family head, he couldn't do that under the current situation.
Right now, the clan's business had plummeted. Overall, it had already reached a point where it was getting increasingly weaker. If this continued, the entire clan would probably be finished.
If the family was finished, then what was there to talk about? Things that were fake were simply nonsense. The abilities of Chu Tian and Chu Jingye were clear at a glance, and the matter was already very clear.
After some consideration, the last group of people also chose to remain silent, implicitly admitting Chu Jingye's identity. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet.
"If you don't have any objections, I'll take it as you agreeing."
After giving his final ultimatum, Chu Jingye pointed his spearhead towards the sickbed: "The funeral is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. For the next two days, everyone should keep a low profile and not talk about family matters with outsiders. Do you all understand?"
Listen up, Chief.
We know what to do, Chief.
Sounds echoed, and Chu Jingye felt really good listening to it. However, this feeling of satisfaction was quickly broken. The harmonizing sound broke and the butler asked, "Second Patriarch, how do I arrange this with young master Chu?"
