The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1555 - 1552: Senior Management Meeting!

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1552: Senior Management Meeting!

In the Conference Hall, Yue Zheng sternly scolded Yue Hua in front of everyone.

"Uncle, stop putting on an act, take a seat. I have already sent someone to notify the higher-ups of the Silver Moon Commerce Association," Yue Qing said, her lips curling into a disdainful smile upon seeing the movements of Yue Zheng and his son in the Conference Hall.

Upon hearing Yue Qing’s words, Yue Zheng paused slightly before giving an awkward smile, his gaze growing darker: "Take a seat? Where shall I sit?"

Ever since the Old President fell deeper into his poisoning and stepped back from managing the Silver Moon Commerce Association, Yue Zheng took his place, so he has always sat in the Chairman’s seat in the Conference Hall.

Now that Yue Qing had returned and sat directly in the Chairman’s seat, Yue Zheng found himself at a loss.

Yue Qing said with a smile, "Naturally, you should sit in your Vice Chairman’s seat. Or could it be that uncle wishes to take my seat here?"

"Hahaha, my niece jokes," Yue Zheng gave a slight smile and went to the Vice Chairman’s seat with Yue Hua.

Yue Hua stayed close by Yue Zheng’s side the entire time, not leaving him for a moment.

Before long, person after person arrived in the Conference Hall, and seeing Yue Qing sitting in the Chairman’s position, they each flashed a glance in surprise, unable to help but give Yue Zheng a more scrutinizing look.

These people were all top figures from the Silver Moon Commerce Association; they came from the powerful Families within the Linhai Dynasty or were from influential Royal Families, specifically stationed in the Silver Moon Commerce Association to participate in some major affairs of the association.

In the Conference Hall, there were a total of one hundred thirty chairs, representing the one hundred thirty high-ranking members within the Silver Moon Commerce Association.

At the moment, aside from one empty chair, all the other chairs were filled.

Lin Bai asked in a low voice, "Looks like everyone has almost arrived, which Family does that last chair belong to?"

Lu Ao looked up; the chair was extremely close to the Chairman’s position. His gaze narrowed slightly as he indifferently replied, "Brother Dongfang, that should be the seat of the Royal Family of the Linhai Dynasty."

"As mentioned before, the Royal Family of the Linhai Dynasty has influence within the Silver Moon Commerce Association."

"This is also why the Silver Moon Commerce Association can overpower the other Chambers of Commerce, because they have a good relationship with the Royal Family of the Linhai Dynasty. It is said that Miss Yue Qing and a Princess inside the Dynasty are as close as sisters."

Lu Ao was particularly knowledgeable about the affairs within the Linhai Dynasty, hence he had a bit more to say to Lin Bai.

At that moment, Lin Bai suddenly nodded in realization.

Yue Qing said, "Now that everyone has arrived except for the representative of the Linhai Dynasty’s Royal Family, let us commence with today’s matters."

Upon hearing this, Yue Zheng laughed and said, "Haha, niece Yue Qing, you’ve just returned to the Silver Moon Commerce Association, why not rest a while? Is there anything so important within the association that needs to be discussed right now?"

Yue Qing said softly, "Of course, there is. Uncle, have you forgotten? It was you who sent word to me about the death of my father."

"My father has passed away, and the Silver Moon Commerce Association cannot be without a leader for a single day."

"The only matter for discussion today is to let the high-ranking members of the Silver Moon Commerce Association vote to decide whether I, Yue Qing, will take the position of Chairman of the Silver Moon Commerce Association."

Yue Qing looked around the room with composure, voicing her thoughts out loud.

Upon hearing this, both Yue Zheng and Yue Hua wore very unsightly expressions; they had not expected Yue Qing to try to grab the position of Chairman so soon after her return.

Meanwhile, the faces of the one hundred-plus high-ranking representatives sitting in their chairs revealed their bewilderment and contemplation as if they found it difficult to make a decision right away!

Seeing the doubt in the representatives, Yue Qing spoke up loudly, "The Silver Moon Commerce Association was single-handedly established by my father, who painstakingly managed it for over two hundred years. And since I’m his only daughter, it is only right that I should inherit the Silver Moon Commerce Association."

"Moreover, setting aside this relationship, it has been five years since I went to the Eastern Branch. The sales revenue of the Eastern Branch for the last four years was twice that of the other three branches and even more than double that of the Haizhen City headquarters!"

"I am confident that I can lead the Silver Moon Commerce Association to greater heights and earn more resources for the association and all high-ranking members!"

Yue Qing spoke resolutely and forcefully.

When the sales of the Silver Moon Commerce Association of the past four years were mentioned, many high-ranking representatives with strange expressions on their faces began to understand a lot, and they couldn’t help but waver in their thoughts.

As soon as Yue Zheng heard what Yue Qing said, his eyes darkened with emerging murderous intent, and he thought bitterly, "If I had known this, I should not have let her leave Haizhen City five years ago!"

"Yue Qing, I never expected you to be so cunning. After leaving Haizhen City for five years, you’ve achieved such astonishing results, earning enough weight to have a say within the Silver Moon Commerce Association!"

Only now did Yue Zheng realize why Yue Qing had insisted on leaving the headquarters to go to the Eastern Branch five years ago.

Upon closer reflection, Yue Zheng understood that all this was for the sake of having enough weight to speak in today’s Conference Hall.

But upon even closer thought, he suddenly came to a realization, "This can’t be your own scheming, can it? It must be the idea given to you by Big Brother, to have you leave the headquarters and establish authority in the branches!"

Yue Zheng now understood everything.

This was definitely a strategy devised by the Old President of the Silver Moon Commerce Association for Yue Qing, to first have her leave the headquarters and establish authority in the branches, then return to headquarters and win people over with virtue!

This is just like in the army; if you want to command an army without having any military achievements, that’s simply a fantasy.

Often, princes of many dynasties looking for support from the military would first gain experience there and make a name for themselves before they could convince people!

And undeniably, Yue Qing’s actions are exactly the same as those in the military!

Yue Qing spent five years at the Eastern Branch, with sales figures for the first four years being double that of the other three branches and even surpassing that of the headquarters. Now, with the fifth year’s figures still pending, if they are released, they are bound to be even more astonishing!

"In terms of emotions, the Silver Moon Commerce Association was founded by my father, and it should naturally be inherited by me; in terms of reason, my capabilities have been witnessed by all the senior executives over these four years!"

"I, Yue Qing, have the ability to take over the Silver Moon Commerce Association!"

"I wonder if the senior executives have any objections?"

After finishing her speech, Yue Qing looked around the room and asked.

"I disagree!"

Just as Yue Qing’s voice fell, before any other executives could speak, Yue Zheng was the first to express his dissent.

A trace of cold smirk swept over Yue Qing’s lips; she had long known that Yue Zheng would not give up easily.

Yue Zheng stood up and said, "Niece, don’t blame your uncle. I don’t wish to see you ruin the Silver Moon Commerce Association that your father worked so hard to establish for two hundred years."

"Senior executives, although Yue Qing has achieved astonishing sales figures at the Eastern Branch, she is still young, impetuous, and not sufficiently steady."

"I think that the new Chairman of the Silver Moon Commerce Association should be someone more stable and reliable."

"Colleagues, what do you think?"

Yue Zheng asked.

Hearing Yue Zheng’s question, many of the senior executives were murmuring, "I think what Vice Chairman Yue Zheng says makes sense. We can set aside Yue Qing’s ability, but she is indeed still young. If we entrust such a large business as the Silver Moon Commerce Association to her hands, I fear there might be some mishaps!"

"I agree with Vice Chairman Yue Zheng’s point. I’m also against Yue Qing taking over!"

"So am I, I am also opposed!"

Yue Zheng’s call was met with widespread approval, and instantly, more than half of the senior executives expressed their opposition to Yue Qing taking over the Silver Moon Commerce Association, while the other half remained silent!

Yue Zheng smiled triumphantly.

Yue Qing’s face looked grim as the still waters!

Lin Bai frowned, sensing from the senior executives’ words that they seemed to have already colluded with Yue Zheng.

"You all object! Then I, on behalf of the Linhai Dynasty Royal Family, approve of Yue Qing taking the position of Chairman!"

Just at that moment, a woman’s voice came from outside the door.
