She Is Not a Witch Chapter 82: The new owner
Hellis’ house has been silent for several days since Lorrain Hill’s visit that day. Miss Meilu ordered the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters to be completely closed, and no one could enter or leave at will.
A few days later, the door to the headquarters of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce opened. It seemed to be the same to outsiders, but the internal staff found that some faces had disappeared. It is said that they were assigned to work in a far away branch. .
Later, the main managers of the various branches of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce, especially those of Mei Lu’s uncles and relatives, received invitations from the master’s family. The invitation said that due to the recent excessive enjoyment of Patriarch Fawth, the angel After the diagnosis, the priest of the temple said that he was afraid of life soon, so he invited everyone to come to discuss matters concerning the successor of the Chamber of Commerce.
If it’s a usual meeting, these relatives of Hellis love to go and don’t show up much, but when it comes to the transfer of the chamber of commerce and the distribution of property, they are like flies that smell fishy. , I'm afraid I can't drink the soup late.
just like that, in just a week, these distant relatives rushed to gather together.
House of Hollis, the main chamber.
Hoth sat in the upper part of the hall, his complexion was a little pale, his plump and fat body was like a soft white bread, and a maid sent medicated soup from time to time by his maid, and his eldest daughter, Meilu, was sitting next to him. , And next to him is the youngest son Bell.
Among the many stewards under the stage, all kinds of eyes looked at the Patriarch in the middle. There were envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire. All kinds of eyes looked at the members of the Patriarch. Now that the meeting hasn't started, they are whispering underneath, communicating with each other, trying to know what each other's attention is.
Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar but so strange. Since when did they come to this point with each other? There is no warmth from the past, but The greed for money is left, as if this is the only value and meaning of life.
Or maybe this is the normal state. People's hearts are changeable, but the benefits are long-lasting, moving, and unable to extricate themselves. She sighed silently in her heart, and then a slight tugging sensation came from her arm.
"Bell, um, don't be afraid, just sit there obediently, and my sister will protect you."
Mei Lu shook his brother's hand to soothe his uneasy emotions, and the meeting finally officially began.
The host clapped his hands first, let everyone quiet down, and briefly introduced the reason for calling everyone this time. Due to the fact that Patriarch Hoth is unwell, he now decided to abdicate and let the virtuous.
"I'm sorry to summon everyone at this time." Hoth said, his speech was not fast and his voice was a little weak.
"The owner of the family is too worried, your health is the most important."
"Yes, don't worry too much, everyone is here."
"Yes, don't worry."
Some of the stewards responded below that although they were all words of concern, their excited eyes were not like caring about Hoth. I am afraid it was more of a secret joy. After all, Hoth is the son of the previous patriarch, despite his strength. Not enough, but seniority can still hold them down. But once he retires, who can he change?
Bell is only 14 years old before he reaches adulthood. No one cares about him. Although the eldest daughter, Mei Lu, has a certain strength, she is a daughter. Sooner or later, she will be married, just outsiders. What qualifications do she have to manage the family? At that time, they will not have to be entrusted to handle the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, hahaha.
"So, I am going to hand over the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce to my daughter, Mei Lu, who will handle it."
When Hoth said this, there was an uproar from below, with unbelievable expressions. Suddenly, the previously kind faces became difficult to look at, and all kinds of doubts sounded.
"Patient master, think twice, Mei Lu is just a little girl. It is too big for her to be in power."
"Yes, why should you give the Chamber of Commerce to a daughter."
"The chamber of commerce should be led by experienced people"
"I think Master Vito is right."
....
The voice below suddenly became noisy, and many people started to make noise. Everyone expressed their opinions and said the most suitable leader in their hearts, and some simply recommended themselves. Hoth sweated on his head and said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened. They only vented their dissatisfaction and argued over who is qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.
Mei Lu stood up and patted his father on the back, and said a few words in his ear, before Hoth’s anxious face slowly eased, and then several escorts escorted him and Bell away from the nearby small side door. NS. Covered by the noise in the chamber, the sound of armor colliding outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.
Some people noticed Hoth’s departure and prepared to step forward to question, but they were stopped by the attendants who had been prepared. They seemed to stand sparsely in front of the stage, but guarded those who wanted to step forward.
咚——
咚——
The big bell in the deliberative hall was struck, and the metal trembling of the bronze bell spread clearly throughout the venue. At this time, the scene gradually calmed down. When everyone saw Mei Lu alone on the rostrum, they finally felt Something is wrong.
"Miss Meilu, where is Lord Hoth?"
Several managers began to ask, and the others looked at Mei Lu, waiting for her answer.
"My father is unwell, he has already gone back to rest first, and I will take care of the rest."
"Mei Lu, get off the stage, Hoth is ignorant, how can you be a girl with this kind of responsibility?"
An uncle said loudly that some other people started to echo ~IndoMTL.com~ and more people just watched indifferently. At this time, no one stood up to speak for Mei Lu.
Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green long dress with a bright yellow camellia pinned on her shoulders. The words were particularly conspicuous. She couldn't see her face clearly in the slightly dim chamber, only Na Li was seen. Long golden hair draped over her chest.
"Uncle Vito also thinks I am inappropriate?" Her voice was a little cold.
"Yes."
"But I still want to do this, what should I do?"
"Don't be like this, we are also for your good."
"But I want it."
Looking at the familiar uncle in front of her, Mei Lu's voice is getting colder and colder and more determined.
"You..."
Before the uncle could finish speaking, Mei Lu directly picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it on the other person.
"You are only a member of the Helliss branch. What qualifications do you have to yell in front of me."
"Usually call you uncle respectfully, do you forget your duty!"
Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock. No one expected that Mei Lu, who is usually gentle and pleasant, would dare to say such things.
"From today, the Hollis family will be unified again, everyone, all clubs must obey the orders of our master!"
"And I, will become the new owner of the Hellis Chamber of Commerce. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell it here."
's voice was utterly decisive. Mei Lu looked directly at the relatives and elders present, and her black eyes slowly swept across the audience. As her words fell, a team of heavily armed guards filed from the side door. Entering, they were silent and could only hear the sound of metal collisions. A total of three hundred steel armored guards would be completely sealed off, and no one could escape this silent hall.
