- Putting on a pair of clean clothes, Ren Xiaoyao appeared at the family meeting on time.
In the broad main hall, six dragon-carved columns support a magnificent dome, which reaches the sky and the earth, and is magnificent. The dome is inlaid with gold bricks and green tiles, and the various carvings are ingenious and exquisite. And the huge rectangular table remained the same, quietly lying in the center of the hall.
Like every clan meeting in the past, the long table was full of people, and almost everyone was chatting in low voices, guessing and discussing the content of this clan meeting. What is different from every clan meeting in the past is that the main seat at the head of this table is empty at the moment - the position belonging to the head of the family has not yet been occupied by anyone.
When Ren Xiaoyao came out, the treatment he received was different from any previous clan meeting.
¡°Several collateral and direct descendants of the family took the initiative to stand up and greet him, and even came over to greet him with smiles. Ren Xiaoyao had long expected these scenes and had become accustomed to them these days. He didn't have any airs, he greeted those people in a friendly manner and responded with smiles.
While greeting Ren Xiaoyao, there were several direct descendants of the family, who all wanted to pull Ren Xiaoyao over and sit down on the side belonging to the direct descendants. The direct descendants have always had a more "noble" status, and such an invitation undoubtedly gave Ren Xiaoyao enough face.
But Ren Xiaoyao smiled back at them, politely declined, and did not go to sit with them.
He walked straight to the long table and did not stop until he reached the corner of the table. At this time, a chubby little fat man stood up and smiled at Ren Xiaoyao: "Brother Xiaoyao, you are here!"
"Um."
Ren Xiaoyao agreed, gave the little fat man a friendly smile, and sat directly next to him - the seat where he had always sat in every clan meeting, and also the seat with the lowest status on the entire table.
Seeing that Ren Xiaoyao still chose this position, some of the family members were talking in low voices. Some admire him, saying that he is always consistent and remains humble despite his improved status; others secretly slander him, saying that he is deliberately pretentious and pretentious.
Regarding these mixed comments and comments, Ren Xiaoyao directly turned on the "filter" function and pretended not to hear them at all.
Beside him, the little fat man Ren Diluo¡ªone of the lowest-status descendants of the Ren family and one of the few people who had interacted with Ren Xiaoyao in the past¡ªsaid: "Hey, brother Xiaoyao, what is your current status?" But it¡¯s different, he¡¯s a hero of the family! And your father, Uncle Canglong, is the family¡¯s number one master with strength as high as the second level of Yuxing Realm! I can¡¯t believe that you are still willing to sit with me.¡±
Ren Xiaoyao smiled very affectionately at the little fat man and hugged his shoulders: "Isn't this normal? No matter what changes in my status, I am still me, and I am still the same Ren Xiaoyao."
"Well, he's still my brother Xiaoyao!" The fat man Ren Diluo was extremely happy, and at the same time he admired Ren Xiaoyao's character very much.
¡¡
Everyone has arrived, and the clan meeting has begun. Just as Ren Xiaoyao and many clan members had guessed, the most important thing about this clan meeting was the selection of the new head of the clan.
The rules for the selection of the family head have been determined: each family member will select a suitable candidate for the family head and hand it over to the seven most respected elders in the family for statistics. The person with the highest number of votes in the end and more than half of the votes will be directly elected as the head of the family.
And if in the final result, the vote of the person with the highest number of votes does not exceed half of the total votes, then the decision-making power will fall into the hands of the elders - they will choose one person among the three people with the most votes. The head of the house.
In addition, in order to highlight the superiority of the direct descendants, the votes of the collateral descendants are counted as one vote, while the votes of the direct descendants are counted as two votes. As for the seven elders, because they are highly respected within the family, one vote for each person is equivalent to five votes.
This method was approved by all clan members. Everyone can participate, and theoretically every clan member has a chance to be elected! Everyone believes that the head of the family selected through this method will be the most suitable.
Immediately, everyone received a piece of paper and a pen for them to write down their favorite candidates.
Ren Xiaoyao is naturally qualified to participate in voting. Although he is not a blood relative of the Ren family, as the god-grandson of Ren Fengshuang, he is also considered the direct young master of the Ren family, so he has two votes.
Without hesitation, he wrote down his father Ren Canglong¡¯s name on the paper.
¡¡
Less than half an hour has passed. After careful consideration, everyone has made a decision in their hearts and has written down the candidate they think is the most suitable.On to paper. All the papers were taken back and counted by the seven elders.
There are one hundred and fourteen people in the entire Ren family who are qualified to participate in the clan meeting. Among them, the descendants of the collateral line account for the majority, with sixty-nine people, that is, sixty-nine votes; the direct descendants have thirty-eight, that is, seventy-six votes; in addition, there are seven family elders, including Ren Including Canglong and Ren Cangtian, they have thirty-five votes.
The final statistics came out, with a total of 180 votes. The top vote-getter was Ren Canglong, who got 76 votes; the second-ranked one was Ren Cangtian, who got 59 votes; After the two of them, it turned out to be a second-generation descendant¡ªRen Xiaoyao!
He received thirty-four votes.
In addition, there were eleven votes cast on several other elders. Since the number of votes was not large, they could basically be ignored.
As soon as the results of the voting came out, people from all ethnic groups couldn¡¯t help but start talking. Since this result was chosen by themselves, it didn't bring much surprise, but the situation was a bit difficult to handle - Ren Canglong, who ranked first, got seventy-six votes, which was less than half of the total votes. In this way, the position of the head of the family will be decided by the elders and selected from the top three votes.
The three people are:
The great elder of the family and master of the Star Realm, Ren Canglong!
The second elder of the family, the pure direct bloodline of the Ren family, Ren Cangtian!
There is also the second generation of the family, Ren Xiaoyao, who has become the family hero at a young age!
The final result of the voting was like this, which made Ren Xiaoyao have to smile bitterly. Originally, he predicted that his father's votes would be ranked first. After all, his father's performance during this period was too dazzling - with the strength of the Royal Star Realm, he came out of the blue to save the family. It was simply a legend!
But what he didn¡¯t expect was that he actually got more than thirty votes. Not only did he rank in the top three, but it also indirectly caused his father¡¯s votes to fail to reach half of the total. Think about it, if you divide your more than thirty votes equally between your father and your second uncle, your father's votes will be more than half of the total
According to the previously set rules, the seven elders now have to make the final decision and choose the new head of the family among the three.
What is certain is that Ren Xiaoyao should not be elected - on the one hand, he has the fewest votes, significantly lower than the other two; on the other hand, his age and strength are still far behind. If the future head of the family is selected today, As an heir, he will have a great chance, but when it comes to being the current head of the family, he is obviously not suitable yet.
"Between Ren Canglong and Ren Cangtian, it is not certain who will win. In Ren Xiaoyao's view, his father's chances of success are not great!
It¡¯s very simple. Second uncle Ren Cangtian is a direct bloodline of the Ren family and a pure bloodline of the Ren family. As for his father, Ren Canglong, he was just Ren Fengshuang's adopted son and had no bloodline from the Ren family at all. Look at the seven elders again. Except for Ren Canglong, they are all directly from the blood of the Ren family. You can imagine who they will tend to when choosing!
At this time, the seven elders have already started voting. The first one is Ren Canglong, who has the status of great elder: "I think Cangtian is the most qualified to be elected."
He did not choose himself or his son, but chose Ren Cangtian.
Next, the second elder Ren Cangtian voted. He smiled slightly: "Haha, I think you are more suitable, eldest brother. I will vote for you."
The two voted for each other respectively, resulting in a one-to-one tie.
Next, it¡¯s time for the fourth elder to express his stance. But at this time, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Hearing his words, the fourth elder paused, and everyone looked at Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao said unhurriedly: "Elders, before you vote, I have something to say. This time for the selection of the head of the family, it is indeed very fair for the family to allow every clan member to participate in the voting. But it is also true that Because of this, I also received a lot of votes. As a second-generation son who has made very little contribution to the family, it is an honor for me to receive so much support from everyone, but it also makes me feel ashamed."
"Although I also want to become the head of the family and lead everyone to gain more glory, but compared with my father and second uncle, I am still far behind. So I decided to withdraw from the next selection, and I hope that several elders can agree. "
"quit?"
Several elders looked at each other and gathered together to discuss for a while. Finally, the Fourth Elder spoke as a representative: "Since Xiaoyao quits voluntarily, we naturally have no reason to force him. Now, let's continue."
After saying that, the fourth elder continued his vote: "My vote is for Ren Cangtian."
Immediately afterwards, the fifth elder spoke: "My vote will also be given to Ren Cangtian."
¡¡
In the blink of an eye, four of the seven elders have expressed their stance, and Ren Cangtian has received the support of three people. As long as he has the support of one more person, the position of head of the family is his.
Seeing this situation, Ren Xiaoyao was not in a hurry. He came to the second elder Ren Cangtian and said in a voice that only the other party could hear: "Second uncle, let me tell you something from my heart. Don't be angry after hearing this. I think father is the most suitable person to head the family. So I support him! That¡¯s why I would rather abstain.¡±
The words stopped here, Ren Xiaoyao said no more, but looked directly at his second uncle Ren Cangtian. Although there were no words left, the look alone seemed to contain endless meaning.
Ren Cangtian was stared at by Ren Xiaoyao. He was a little surprised at first, but then fell into thinking.
For the Ren family, he devoted himself wholeheartedly. From the bottom of his heart, he also felt that Ren Canglong was more suitable to be the head of the family than himself, so he just voted for Ren Canglong. Now that Ren Xiaoyao said this, he was clearly implying: I support my father, so I give up my vote; if you also support him, you should also give up your vote!
After thinking for a moment, Ren Cangtian suddenly smiled, as if he had figured something out. At this moment, the Sixth Elder was about to speak and tell his choice: "Like several brothers, I also feel that Ren"
But before the sixth elder finished speaking, Ren Cangtian suddenly spoke. His voice was clear and clear, directly suppressing the sixth elder's words, and his words only contained four simple words:
"I also abstain!"
"What?"
¡°Abstain?!¡±
For a moment, several elders stared at Ren Cangtian with their eyes widened, as if they thought they had heard wrongly. However, Ren Cangtian nodded resolutely: "Yes, I want to abstain. My reason is the same as Xiaoyao. I feel that I am still far behind Brother Canglong, so I quit on my own initiative."
"Butbut judging from the vote we just took, you still have a good chance"
"No need to say it. Since Xiaoyao can quit, I can naturally do the same, right?" Ren Cangtian directly interrupted the fourth elder and looked directly at the speechless elders. "Now that Xiaoyao and I have withdrawn, the only three candidates left are Brother Canglong. There is no doubt about the choice of the head of the family."
After saying that, he looked at each elder with a smile. When he looked at Ren Canglong, he nodded slightly, but in the end, his eyes fell on Ren Xiaoyao who was aside. Ren Cangtian looked at Ren Xiaoyao with a strange light in his eyes, full of appreciation. For his young nephew, he only has two words in his heart - admire!
Ren Xiaoyao first tried to play hard to get and abstained from the competition; then he sidetracked Ren Cangtian and used Ren Cangtian's heart to make him give up the competition.
After the two gave up one after another, only one of the three "candidates" for the head of the family was left. There was no dispute about who would be the next head of the Ren family.
At this moment, Ren Cangtian had an unreal feeling in his heart: Is the young man in front of him really his nephew? Is he really only a teenager?
He even had a crazy idea: If his nephew was finally chosen as the head of the family this time, would he be better than anyone else? At least judging from his performance just now, this young man's wisdom is probably better than his own!
¡¡
Several elders discussed for a few words, and then the second elder Ren Cangtian announced: The new head of the family is - Ren Canglong!
After the result was announced, many members of the Ren family burst into cheers. Everyone gathered around Ren Canglong in the center, shouting a slogan:
"Long live the master of the family, long live the master of the family, long live the master of the family"
Seeing all the Ren family members supporting him and cheering loudly to celebrate him, Ren Canglong felt his heart heat up and his eye sockets and nose feel sore.
For many years, I have been silently contributing to the Ren family, repaying Ren Fengshuang's kindness in taking him in and raising him. Today, he is finally accepted by all the family members and becomes the new generation head of the family! From now on, I will have a legitimate identity, protect the Ren family, and lead the Ren family to move forward
Seeing his father's extremely happy and excited expression under the support of everyone, Ren Xiaoyao quietly stepped aside. Protecting the Ren family and making the Ren family more prosperous has been my father's long-cherished wish in his life, and now he finally has the chance to get his wish.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaoyao's face was filled with a smile.
After returning from rebirth, the first storm was finally passed smoothly, and the Ren family became what they wanted.
Next, what awaits you will be a more powerful enemy, and what you need isMore powerful strength
