CHAPTER 1059: CHAPTER 1056: IN AND OUT IN A HURRY

"Dad, what’s going on? Why did you give the information to that person?" Bai Yuze snapped back to reality and asked discontentedly.

Bai Yuanhao glanced over at Lin Tian and then shook his head at his son, saying, "Enough. I underestimated the Xiao Family. Even like this, she could turn the tables. Never bring up the USB matter again, understand?"

Bai Yuze’s eyes flickered with reluctance, but he dared not say anything more.

"Mom, who was that person? What happened?" Miss asked curiously, sneaking a glance at Lin Tian, seemingly having figured out a hint.

Mr. Ning took a look at the Bai Family members and also said, "I saw the credentials that young man took out earlier, it seemed to be from Interpol."

Fan Zhenhai answered, "Let me explain, earlier I heard from Miss Li about the situation here and realized it was serious, so I called Mr. Ning Weiguo for advice. He told me that Interpol is investigating a foreign crime syndicate, and helped notify their people, the person earlier was sent by them."

"So that’s it, it seems the truth is out. It was all Sun Hai’s personal actions and had nothing to do with the Xiao Family," Mr. Ning nodded and said.

"Thank you for your trust, Elder Ning," Mrs. Xiao expressed her gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it’s what you deserve," Mr. Ning replied.

"I have urgent matters to attend to today, so I must take my leave. Thank you all for your support," Mrs. Xiao said turning to the crowd, who reciprocated her farewell courteously.

"Mrs. Xiao, you’re leaving just as you arrived?" Lin Tian said regretfully.

Mrs. Xiao smiled, "I can’t help it, I’m very busy. I just came to see the situation. Now that it’s resolved, I can leave with peace of mind."

Having said that, she turned to Miss, "Manxue, I trust your handling of things, but you’re too kind sometimes. You should listen more to Lin Tian."

Damn, what does that mean? Miss is kind? Does that mean I’m not? I’m a decent person too! Lin Tian was speechless at Mrs. Xiao’s words.

However, Lin Tian understood Mrs. Xiao’s point. Sometimes Miss was too soft-hearted, and Mrs. Xiao was right about that.

After giving her instructions, Mrs. Xiao left. Xiao Manxuan, the little girl, was reluctant to part, tears welling up in her eyes as if she might cry at any moment. Although Miss appeared composed, Lin Tian could sense that she too was unwilling to part. Truly a bond between mother and daughters, Mrs. Xiao must have felt the same way.

The three of them only see each other after such a long time, only to part quickly again. The comings and goings are so abrupt, Lin Tian thought about how tough life must be for this trio of mother and daughters.

Lin Tian gently tickled the palms of the two sisters to comfort them, only for them to glare at him, interpreting his actions as those of a pervert.

A rare moment of sincerity from me, yet regarded as a lecher. Even Dou’e’s grievance wasn’t this unjust. Lin Tian silently cursed the heavens, deciding to forgive them given their troubled mood.

After Mrs. Xiao and her group left, everyone returned to their seats. The incident sparked by the Bai Family came and ended abruptly, leaving the merchants barely able to catch up before it concluded.

People became more aware that the Xiao Family was no longer the previous Xiao Family. Even when faced with a lethal, unexpected attack from the Bai Family, they calmly parried it.

"Regarding Xiao Manxue succeeding as Chairman, does anyone have further comments?" Once everyone was seated, Yun Haoyu asked again.

People looked at one another, but eventually, they all shook their heads. The alliance led by the Shen, Qian, and Zhao Families remained silent, and the Bai Family father and son dared not speak any longer. Both were more frustrated than anyone else, as their final trump card went unused.

Li Wenrong was busy on his phone, writing and drawing, perhaps informing someone, or perhaps pretending not to hear Yun Haoyu’s question. But even if he did hear it, he had no ground to stand on; try as he might, he was just an outsider.

Yun Haoyu scanned the room, and seeing no one speaking, loudly declared, "I announce that from today, Xiao Manxue takes over as the new Chairman. I hope everyone will continue to support the Chamber’s work just as before. As the former Chairman, I also thank everyone for their support, thank you."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

The crowd began to clap; the twists and turns of today’s Chairman election caught the merchants off guard. Looking back, more had happened in one morning than in the past year, and it was far more exciting.

"Congratulations, Miss, on being promoted to the Chamber’s Chairman. From now on, I need to call you Chairman Xiao," Lin Tian said with a grin.

Miss gave him a flirty glance and said, "Chairman or not, my mom says I should consult you more, so don’t think you can shirk off anymore."

"Damn, you’re playing dirty, you’re stuck with me," Lin Tian felt trapped in a big hole, glaring at her.

"I don’t care, if you say stuck, then stuck it is," Miss said with a smile, as if seeing Lin Tian defeated was such a high pleasure.

Xiao Manxuan also chimed in, "Lin Tian, you’re so kind, won’t you help my sister?"

With Xiao Manxuan looking at him with pitiful eyes, Lin Tian couldn’t bear to shake his head, finally nodding, "Alright, let’s hope you sisters rely on me forever."

"Wishful thinking." The sisters rolled their eyes at him in unison.

"Miss, now that the Chairman is elected, can we adjourn? My stomach’s been growling," Ou Mengmeng said, rubbing her stomach.

Miss ignored Lin Tian’s wailing and turned to her, saying, "There’s one last step."

"One more? How long will that take? I need food," Ou Mengmeng sighed, embodying the foodie.

"The new Chairman has the authority to form a new management team, so the next step is forming this team," Miss stated calmly.

After she spoke, Yun Haoyu added, "The new Chairman has been selected, now Chairman Xiao will form the new management team, and she will personally decide the list."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the expressions of the Shen and Qian Family members became grim. Shen Liyan, the current Vice Chairman, and Qian Jin, the Secretary-General, these positions might not survive after their opposition to the Xiao Family.

Lin Tian finally understood why the Qian Family was so eager to become Chairman. Besides wanting to divide Xiao Family’s assets, they also feared that the new Chairman might remove them from their positions.

Although Qian Jin wasn’t the Chairman, the Secretary-General had significant power, allowing the Qian Family to leverage it for many things.

Lin Tian looked at Miss, to see how she would decide. It wasn’t his place to speak on this matter, being Yunhua Commerce’s internal business, commenting could seem like interference.

However, if Miss doesn’t handle this well, her future management of the Chamber will certainly face difficulties. Whether to remove all existing personnel is a question that must be pondered.
