Chapter 2647: We’ll Decide by Vote
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“We will hold a meeting to decide on this matter.” The silver-haired old man did not dwell on the small details and said calmly.
“If more than half of us agree, the Privy Council will choose her according to the rules whether she changes her nationality or not.”
“What if more than half disagree?” Leonard immediately asked.
The silver-haired old man looked into his eyes and said very calmly, “If more than half vote against it, the Privy Council will choose someone else.”
Leonard was just about to mention the candidate proposed by the Empress.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them silently.
Forget it, its useless to say so much now. It’s better to wait for the voting results!
As long as it was not Qiao Nian, the vacated position would still be given to the person chosen by the empress as they had discussed previously.
Therefore, there was no need for him to go against Xue Zhonglin at this time.
Leonard left the video conference. His triangular eyes became more and more sinister as he contacted the neutral faction.
The Privy Council had always had a voting system. Every major event was decided by a three-way vote.
At this time, the attitude of the neutral faction was especially important.
Leonard was confident that he could convince the neutral faction to stand on this side!
He acted swiftly and made a call. “Hello, it’s me. Help me transfer the line to Jacob.”
At the same time.
Xu Yi was about to look for Qiao Nian when he received a call from an unfamiliar number.
He frustratedly looked at the familiar yet foreign number. Then, he walked to the corner and picked it up. “Didn’t I tell you not to call me when I’m working?”
“Young Master, I’m here to deliver something to you. I’m waiting for you outside.” The voice on the other end of the call was gentle and warm. Obviously old, she was still very respectful to him.
Xu Yi frowned and tolerated it. “Where are you?”
The other person reported the location; it was outside the First Research Institute.
Xu Yi became even more vexed. He turned around and said, “Don’t go anywhere. I’ll be right out.”
He hung up and thought for a moment. Then, he lowered his head and sent a WeChat message to the girl. He said he had some private matters to take care of and would go over later.
The girl’s profile picture was as simple as ever—a pure white background picture.
The girl did not reply.
He knew that Qiao Nian might be busy and had no time to look at her cell phone. He pursed his lips, put the cell phone back in his pocket, and walked out quickly.
Outside.
A low-key black Passat was parked outside. The chauffeur did not get out of the car. Beside the car stood an old woman with a head full of silver hair. The old woman was dressed plainly and her hair was combed neatly. She was very clean and tidy.
She held a box in her hand and stood quietly under the camphor tree, seemingly waiting for someone.
Less than five minutes later.
Xu Yi walked out and approached her.
The old woman’s face revealed obvious joy. Suppressing her joy, she stood still as he said and waited for him to approach.
Xu Yi arrived quickly. Upon seeing her, he did not steel his heart. However, his handsome face was expressionless. “Didn’t I tell you not to look for me at the research institute?”
“I’m here to deliver something to you on behalf of your father.” The old woman raised her head, her weathered eyes filled with gentleness.
“Isn’t today your birthday?” She handed him the box. “This is a birthday gift from your father..”
