As soon as Xi Yan finished speaking, Ye Yao Zu stood up to speak.
Everyone present knew that Ye Yao Zu was Xi Yan’s chosen successor.
However, except for Big Brother B, Chen Yao, and Jiang Tian Sheng, everyone else looked at Ye Yao Zu with some uncertainty. This was mainly because Ye Yao Zu was too young.
He was even younger than Chen Hao Nan and didn't have the experience.
"Xi Shu has chosen A Zu, does anyone have any objections?" Jiang Tian Sheng said with a smile.
These words clearly meant that he supported Ye Yao Zu’s ascension. These decision-makers were not fools; they could all understand this. They looked at each other, but no one spoke.
But at this moment, a person jumped out.
Liang Kun!
Ye Yao Zu was not surprised. If Liang Kun didn't jump out, that would be strange. Liang Kun had always wanted to be the head of the Hong Xing, and he always did things against Jiang Tian Sheng.
Of course, Liang Kun would not agree to this so easily.
"Mr. Jiang, as the saying goes, ‘Those without facial hair are unreliable,’ this kid is too young." Liang Kun said sarcastically.
The other decision-makers nodded in agreement.
"A Kun, times are changing, and our Hong Xing should also learn to change with the times, otherwise, we will be eliminated sooner or later. A Zu is young, but he is capable and strong. He is the one managing the entire Kowloon now, which shows his abilities. We should promote capable people, shouldn't we?" Jiang Tian Sheng said with a smile.
Jiang Tian Sheng’s words directly boosted the favorability of the decision-makers' subordinates. Although they were older than Ye Yao Zu, they were not much older.
The Hong Xing always emphasized seniority. No matter how capable you were, if you didn't have the experience, you had to wait, wait until you gained enough experience to be promoted.
"Mr. Jiang, I agree. Those who are capable should rise, and those who are not should step down. But what contribution has Ye Yao Zu made to the society? Those who mix in this world should serve the society. If you only have ability and don't serve the society, what's the use? You might as well join the elections for councilors, what are you doing here as a low-ranking guy?" Liang Kun said with a smile.
Jiang Tian Sheng's eyes flashed with a chill, then he looked at Ye Yao Zu.
Ye Yao Zu nodded. It was his turn to perform. He had to fight for some things; if he didn't fight, he wouldn't get anything.
"Brother Kun is right. I haven't made any contribution to the society and haven't done anything, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future. Besides, I'm recommended by my boss, Xi Yan. Brother Kun is so opposed, do you want to arrange someone to go to Kowloon? If that's the case, I'll agree, considering Brother Kun’s abilities."
Hearing Ye Yao Zu's words, Liang Kun's face changed. He glared at Ye Yao Zu with malice.
Ye Yao Zu's words made the other decision-makers, who were about to retire, look at him with a hint of suspicion. Liang Kun could clearly feel it.
After all, the election of the Kowloon decision-maker should be a matter for Kowloon. Bringing it to the Hong Xing meeting was just a formality. Xi Yan was dead, so there was nothing to say. If they wanted to fight, they should fight.
But Xi Yan was not dead, and Ye Yao Zu was still recommended by Xi Yan. Was Liang Kun's hand reaching too far, reaching from Mong Kok to Kowloon?
If Xi Yan's chosen successor didn't get the position today, would Liang Kun oppose their arrangement when they retire?
After all, Xi Yan was not dead, so other branches should not reach Kowloon. This was an unspoken rule.
Every decision-maker hoped that their chosen person would take over after they retired. What was this? It was a guarantee for their retirement. Aside from anything else, they would definitely get a share of the dividends.
If people from other branches came in, who would still recognize this former decision-maker? In the end, you’d die where you die. This was why, after Ye Yao Zu’s words, the other decision-makers changed their expressions when they looked at Liang Kun.
Xi Yan retired, not died. There was a fundamental difference. It was an unspoken rule to arrange for your chosen successor to take over after retirement. If he was dead, you could fight for it, but what does it mean to fight for it if he's not dead?
The other decision-makers naturally resented Liang Kun. Today Liang Kun was fighting for Kowloon, so would he fight for their territories when they retired?
People are selfish. These decision-makers naturally had their own agendas. No matter what Liang Kun's intentions were, to protect their own interests, the other decision-makers would let Ye Yao Zu take the position. This was also for their own benefit.
"That's right, Liang Kun, if you want Kowloon, just say it. Xi Shu isn't dead yet." Big Brother B slammed the table, directly delivering a fatal blow to Liang Kun.
Liang Kun felt suffocated.
Should he say that wasn't his intention, but he just wanted to oppose Jiang Tian Sheng?
It would be better to say he was interested in Kowloon.
Liang Kun curled his lips and remained silent with a dark expression. But he remembered Ye Yao Zu.
Xi Yan was also a little unhappy. Initially, he felt uncomfortable when Ye Yao Zu joined Jiang Tian Sheng. But after Liang Kun's outburst, Xi Yan's face darkened.
Big Brother B's words, though crude, were true. He was stepping down, not dead. What did it mean for Liang Kun to oppose the person he recommended? Did he really want to arrange someone to take over Kowloon?
"Liang Kun, some rules, I won't say them, everyone knows in their hearts. Your hand is reaching too far." Xi Yan said with a dark face.
The other decision-makers understood Xi Yan's words. Some things, everyone knew in their hearts, there was no need to make them clear. Making them clear would only be bad.
"Cough, cough, if that’s the case, then let's vote for A Zu as the Kowloon decision-maker. Those who agree, raise your hand." Jiang Tian Sheng seized the opportunity.
The other decision-makers raised their hands one after another. Even Liang Kun raised his hand with a dark face. He might have been able to fight back against other things, but not this. This was a violation of the interests of the other decision-makers, including his own.
One day he would retire. He would recommend someone to take over. If someone opposed him at that time, he would probably want to kill them.
"Good, starting today, A Zu is the Kowloon decision-maker. A Zu, work hard." Jiang Tian Sheng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, and thank you to all the seniors for giving me this opportunity." Ye Yao Zu said with a smile, and the other decision-makers responded with a cheerful "You're welcome" to Ye Yao Zu.
Liang Kun, however, maintained his dark expression.
