Chapter 82 The Patriarch

Since the visit of Loran Hill that day, the Helis family has been silent for several days. Miss Meilu ordered that the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters be completely closed and that everyone is not allowed to enter and exit at will.

A few days later, the gate of the headquarters of the Helis Chamber of Commerce opened, which seemed to be the same as usual in the eyes of outsiders, but the staff inside found that some faces had disappeared and were said to have been arranged to work in a very distant branch.

Later, the main officials of various branches of the Helis Chamber of Commerce, especially those of Melu's uncles and relatives, received invitations from the master's house, which said that because the head of the Hoss family had been over-enjoyed recently, the priest of the Angel Temple diagnosed and said that he was afraid that his life would be short, so he invited everyone to discuss the matters of the heirs of the chamber of commerce.

If there are some meetings, these Helis' relatives would love to go and not be present. However, when they mentioned the transfer of chambers of commerce and the distribution of property, they would flock to them like flies that smelled fishy, ​​fearing that they would not be able to drink the soup if they were too late.

In this way, in just one week, these relatives from afar arrived and gathered together.

Helis's house, main chamber.

Hoss sat at the head of the hall, his face was a little pale, his fat body was like a ball of soft white bread, and there were sometimes maids who brought medicinal soup for health care. On his right hand was the eldest daughter Mei Lu, and next to him was his younger son Bell.

Among the many officials in the audience, various eyes looked at the head of the family in the middle, with envy, jealousy, fear, greed, and desire. Various eyes looked at the members of the main family. The meeting has not yet begun. They whispered underground, communicated and tried to find out what attention they were paying attention to.

Mei Lu looked at the group of people below. The faces were so familiar but so strange. When did everyone start to this point? No longer had the warmth of the past, only the greed for money, as if this was the only value and meaning of life.

Or maybe this is the norm. People's hearts are easy to change, only for long-term interests, it is exciting and unable to extricate itself. She sighed silently in her heart, and then a slight pulling feeling came from her arm.

"Bell, okay, don't be afraid, just sit there, my sister will protect you."

Mei Lu held his brother's hand to calm his uneasy mood, and then the meeting finally officially began.

The host clapped his hands first to calm down and briefly introduced the reason for convening everyone this time. Because the head of the family, Hoss, now he decided to abdicate and give way to the wise.

"I'm sorry, I'll summon everyone at this time." Hoss spoke, his speech was not fast and his voice was a little weak.

"If the head of the family is too worried, your health is the most important thing."

"Yes, don't worry too much, everyone is here."

"Yes, don't worry."

Some managers responded below that although they were all concerned words, their excited eyes did not look like they cared about Hoss. I'm afraid they were more secretly happy. Hoss was the son of the previous head of the family after all. Although he was not strong enough, his qualifications could still suppress them. But once he withdrew, who could he replace him?

Bell is only 14 years old before he grows up, and no one cares about him at all. Although her eldest daughter Mei Lu has certain strength, she is a daughter and will get married sooner or later. She is just an outsider. What qualifications are there to manage the family? At that time, they will have to entrust them 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, to handle it."

When Hoss said this, there was an uproar below, and he showed unbelievable expressions. The face that was still kind before became ugly and various doubts sounded.

"The head of the family thinks twice. Mei Lu is just a little girl. It's too ruthless to have her take over."

"Yes, why should I hand over the chamber of commerce to a daughter?"

“The chamber of commerce should be led by experienced people”

"I think Mr. Vito is right."

....

The sound below suddenly became noisy, and many people began to make noise. Everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their most suitable leaders in their minds, and some simply recommended themselves. Hoss sweated on his head and said a few more words, but unfortunately no one listened. They were only concerned with venting their dissatisfaction and arguing about who was qualified to lead the Chamber of Commerce.

Meilu stood up and patted her father's back, and said a few words in his ear. Hoth's anxious face slowly sootheed. Then several escorts escorted him and Bell away from the nearby small side door. Under the cover of the noise in the council room, the sound of armor collision outside the door seemed so inconspicuous.

Some people noticed Hos' departure and were about to come forward to question, but were stopped by the servants who had prepared themselves. They seemed to be standing in front of the stage, but they were strictly guarded against those who wanted to come forward.

Dong--

Dong--

The big bell in the conference hall was ringing, and the metal tremolo of the copper bell was clearly spread throughout the venue. At this time, the scene gradually became quiet. When everyone saw that Mei Lu was the only one left on the rostrum, they finally felt something was wrong.

"Miss Melu, where is Lord Hoss?"

Several managers began to ask, while others also looked at Mei Lu and waited for her answer.

"My father is feeling uncomfortable and has already gone back to rest first. I will handle the rest."

"Melu, you get off the stage. Hoss is ignorant. How can you, a girl, take on such a heavy responsibility?"

An uncle said loudly, some others began to echo, while more people watched coldly.

Mei Lu slowly stood up from her seat. She was wearing a dark green long skirt and a bright yellow camellia on her shoulders, which was particularly conspicuous. Her face was not visible in the slightly dim meeting room. She could only see her long golden hair on her chest.

"Does Uncle Vito think I'm not suitable?" Her voice was a little cold.

"Yes."

"But I still want to do this, what should I do?"

"Don't do this, we're doing it for your own good."

"But I insist on it."

Looking at the familiar uncle in front of him, Mei Lu's voice became colder and more resolute.

"you......"

Before the uncle could finish his words, Mei Lu picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the other party.

"You are just a member of the Helis branch, what qualifications do you have to yell in front of me?"

"Does it make you forget your duty if you call me "Uncle"?"

Everyone looked at Mei Lu in shock. No one expected that Mei Lu, who was usually gentle and kind, would dare to say such things.

"From today on the way, the Helis family will be unified again, and all people and all branches must obey the orders of our Lord's family!"

"And I will become the new owner of the Helis Chamber of Commerce. Any dissatisfaction you can tell me here."
