Chapter 148: Who Slapped Whose Face?

  Silence means unwelcome.

  If you're not of the same family, don't enter someone else's door. Who would welcome a person who is completely different from themselves into their group?

  But since Su Shan has already brought the person here, this matter must have a solution.

  It's not good to always leave people hanging like this, it will affect Su Shan's reputation.

  Lu Junzhuo asked everyone to sit down and said, "Tang Chong is a new friend who has just arrived. Everyone doesn't know him very well yet - I don't know much about him either. This time's event is quite different from the previous ones. In the past, membership applications were strictly reviewed according to the Red Eagle audit system. We knew everything about the people who wanted to join, so it was all smooth and easy. There were no obstacles at all."

  Lu Junzhuo glanced at Su Shan and said, "Now, some people hope that Mr. Tang can join the club, while others refuse to let him in... In this case, we can only decide according to the rules set out in the club's charter. A vote will be held. Each member has one ballot. If more than half of the votes are in favor, Mr. Tang can join the club. If less than half or even fewer votes are cast, then... all we can do is apologize to Mr. Tang."

  "Agreed," someone said.

  "It should be like this."

  "The minority is subordinate to the majority."

  Su Shan sat in a position close to the window, and the bright light made her snow-white skin almost transparent.

  Behind her is the majestic and vast Huangpu River, so her slender figure appears grand and at ease.

  Her beautiful eyes scanned the crowd and said: "As Tang Chong said earlier, he is a versatile talent with both literary and military skills. This is my reason for recommending him to join the club, and it's also the only reason I can say out loud. I hope everyone can accept him. I also believe that he will be able to make his own contributions, making each of us his beneficiaries."

  "I've never misjudged anyone. At least not yet." Su Shan said with unwavering determination, expressing her strong support for Tang Chong. "As the president and founder of Red Eagle, I hope you can believe me, just like you used to before."

  No one answered, familiar people were making eye contact with each other.

  Su Shan has always given people the impression of being taciturn and reticent. Her attitude towards things is that if she doesn't say anything, it means she hasn't made up her mind yet; but once she speaks, it proves that she has already made a decision in her heart.

  She announced her choice before everyone else had voted, clearly telling those present that she supported the man. Oh, no, the boy.

  If the referendum fails, doesn't she realize it will be a huge blow to her image?

  A goddess is not allowed to have flaws.

  Tang Chong sat on the sofa in the corner with his fists clenched, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

  Since Su Shan brought her in, it proves that she had already thought of such a situation.

  If she didn't think of anything, then she wouldn't be Su Shan.

  After Su Shan finished speaking, Lu Junzhuo took over and said, "Does anyone have any objections?"

  Nobody speaks.

  "Twenty-two people are present. A show of hands will indicate a vote in favor. If more than half agree, Mr. Tang Zhong will be a member of the Red Eagles." said Lu Junzhuo. "Alright, let's begin the vote. Those in favor of Mr. Tang Zhong joining the Red Eagles as a member, please raise your hands."

  Su Shan raised her hand first.

  She once again expressed her own views with her own actions. She strongly supported Tang Zhong.

  Two girls who were close to Su Shan raised their hands. Miller and Pong Yu exchanged a glance and also raised their hands.

  Got four votes for the time being.

  "Is there anyone else?" Lu Junzhuo asked aloud.

  Two more male members raised their hands after a slight hesitation. Apparently, they were die-hard supporters of Su Shan. Even if they thought Su Shan's request was unreasonable this time, they still wanted to support her unconditionally.

  Of course, maybe they have other ideas. Who can accurately guess what these people are thinking?

  Six votes.

  Lu Junzhuo looked at Su Shan's expressionless face, sighed softly and said: "Six votes. The number of votes is not enough. Mr. Tang Zhong's application to join the club is rejected."

  Everyone else looked away, not daring to make eye contact with Su Shan.

  "That's it then." Su Shan said with a smile. "It's been a long time since we've met. Let's have a chat."

  Everyone was shocked.

  What does Su Shan mean?

  Does she not care about the result of this referendum at all? Or is she pretending to be calm but actually very angry inside?

  Someone is knocking at the door outside.

  A new member ran over and opened the door of the room, looked at a group of people standing in front of the door and asked: "Who are you looking for?"

  "Didn't disturb you, did I?" Youmu asked with a smile, walking straight past that member's side and into the private room where Red Eagle held their gatherings.

  He was followed by a group of men and women with high spirits, who also seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds.

  Lu Junzhuo stood up and stared at You Muke, coldly shouting: "What are you doing here? This is a Red Eagle gathering, unrelated personnel should leave quickly."

  Youmu didn't fear Lu Junzhuo, his gaze briefly stopped on Tang Chong's face before he smiled and looked at the proud man sitting by the window, saying: "I'm not an unrelated person, my cousin joined the Red Eagle - so I came to take a look at him. Isn't there such a rule? Doesn't Red Eagle allow members' family to enter?"

  "We don't have such a rule. But now is our meeting time. No matter whose relative, no one is allowed to enter." Lu Junzhuo blocked the way in front of Youmu, preventing him from walking in front of Su Shan, and said: "Please leave."

  "It's like that." Yu Mu adjusted his glasses and smiled gloomily with his triangular eyes, saying: "What kind of meeting is this? New members joining?"

  His gaze shifted onto Tang Zhong, revealing his true intention for this trip.

  "Should I be saying congratulations?"

  "No need." Tang Zhong waved his hand very honestly. "I was rejected. They don't want me."

  "Oh. That's reasonable. " Youmu smiled and nodded. "If I accept you, wouldn't this Red Eagle become a Grass Eagle?"

  "I want you out." Lu Junzhuo pointed at the door and growled in a low voice.

  A burly man stepped forward from behind the nomad, and it was none other than Wei Feng, whom Tang Chong knew.

  "Hey Feng, calm down. " Yu Mu's rebuke of Hey Feng was actually a mockery of Lu Junzhuo being overly sensitive. "I still have something to say."

  His gaze swept across the faces of the many Red Hawk members in front of him, saying: "I know Miss Su likes to raise hawks, and I suddenly developed some interest. I raised a small hawk myself - called Black Hawk. How about it? Is anyone interested in coming over and raising one with me?"

  No one replied.

  Didn't we raise it together in the past? Isn't that betraying Red Eagle?

  These people, even if they have no bottom line in private, are not easily able to switch camps in such a public setting.

  "I'm willing." The proud man sitting alone by the window drinking said.

  Although the sound is not loud, it has a great impact.

  Everyone's eyes looked over there.

  There is surprise, there is doubt, there is disdain, and even more so a mindset of watching a show.

  "I'm willing," the man said again. He stood up from his chair and walked to Su Shan's front, saying: "I apply to quit Red Eagle. The current Red Eagle is not the same as before, it's a loose organization where the leader abuses private rights and everyone can enter freely-----such an organization has no cohesion, so there is no combat effectiveness."

  Su Shan raised his head and looked at him for a moment before saying calmly: "Approved."

  She also pushed open the chair and stood up, asking aloud: "Is there anyone else?"

  No one answered.

  "Who else?"

  Still no one answered.

  "Who else?" Su Shan asked for the third time.

  She maintained the same tone and rhythm of speech, with no fluctuation in emotion. However, under her three questions, her momentum grew stronger and stronger, and everyone whose eyes met hers found it difficult to lift their heads and look at her directly.

  The arrival of the nomads naturally caused a stir among the Red Eagle members, and with Chen Minghua's on-the-spot betrayal, it was like slapping her in the face.

  But just three simple questions, with the same words and a calm tone, Su Shan was actually stunned.

  The nomadic people looked at Su Shan with strange expressions, watching this woman who had been admired by countless older generations perform.

  "From today on, Chen Minghua is expelled from the Red Eagles. He will no longer be a member of the Red Eagles and will no longer enjoy the privileges and services of being a Red Eagle member." Su Shan said in a resolute tone. "Because of the shame he brought to the Red Eagles, from now on, he is an enemy of the Red Eagles."

  "It's really good at deceiving people." Youmu said with a smile. Although only Chen Minghua, who had been arranged in advance to betray him, did not bring more people to his side. However, he didn't think he lost this round either. "Also, there is another thing I want to inform everyone present..."

  He smiled complacently, like a weasel that had stolen several chickens. "I've already reached an agreement with Old Zeng of the Brocade Pavilion to take over the entire operation, including all its internal businesses," he said. "From now on, if any of you need anything, just give me a call - I'll be sure to provide you with meticulous and considerate service."

  Jinxiu Pavilion was acquired?

  Everyone was shocked.

  Jinxiu Hall holds special significance for the Red Eagles. Their first member gathering was held here, and their annual meeting is regularly held here every year.

  They also tried to buy the brocade from Zeng Tianxiang's hands, but Zeng Tianxiang refused to sell and promised to provide the most considerate service for everyone.

  Unexpectedly, it was actually bought by Nomad now. The place where they hold meetings is actually someone else's territory?

  This is a slap in the face!

  A slap in the face!

  "You crippled thing, why aren't you at home pretending to be dead? Why are you running around here pretending to be a big shot? Are you out of your mind?" A voice suddenly rose up from behind. The tone was extremely fast and the words were venomous, making the listener want to die. "You think that just because you say that Jinxiu Pavilion is yours, it's really yours? What are you even talking about? The country calls on us to respect the elderly and protect the disabled, but it didn't say that people with disabilities have priority purchasing rights... I'm sitting here today, let me see who dares to sell Jinxiu Pavilion to you."

  (PS: Some people dislike Su Shan, which I had expected from the start. Just as I knew many people would dislike Qiu Yi Han previously.)

  Not bad, Su Shan is the goddess I want to write about. She's a character similar yet different from Wen Ren Miao Yue and others.

  Different from Wen Ren Muyue, who sat on the high seat as soon as she appeared and had an aura that was unmatched by any other goddess. Su Shan was different, she was a growing goddess. In other words, she was in the stage of struggling and groping before Wen Ren Muyue made her debut.

  Can a woman become a goddess just by being pretty and occasionally acting cute? Apparently not.

  What kind of life had Wen Ren Muyue experienced before? No one knew. And this book, I wanted to write 'The Cultivation of a Female Deity'.

  That's how things are in this world; a woman who wants to achieve something has to endure more hardships and use more schemes than men.

  The road Su Shan walks is the one Mu Yue walked but didn't write about.

  I hope you can accept it, and I also accept your non-acceptance.

  The story of Su Shan is very wonderful. That's all.

  Also, thank you for the reward from Little Sugar Sugar classmate...
