Chapter 118 Support
No one knew Leslian's intention, and the people in the magic circle took action immediately.
The quill was still writing, "I need a few members to serve as judges."
When one person took the lead and stood up, the rest of the people in the circle also stood up one after another and walked to Leslie Ann.
Everyone who had been looking around and making eye contact before suddenly stopped their little movements.
The waiter's face was covered with sweat.
Who is this Leslie Ann? Didn't she just come to this branch of the guild today?
Why does it feel like you have such a thorough understanding of the branch guild?
It's no wonder that the waiter was surprised. Those chosen by Cecilia to be judges were all the few members of the guild who had never been corrupt.
He is also a member who is about to leave the branch guild as his contract is about to expire.
This is also the reason why the receptionist did not call these people over at the beginning.
Now these people have become judges, and they know exactly what the remaining people sitting here have done over the years.
Quill continued, "My decision is based on the pieces given by the judges."
The audience was worried, wondering how much Leslie Ann knew.
One of them stood up with a perfect smile on his face, but his words were not so polite, "Sir, we respect that you are from Petra Headquarters and give you face, but these people..."
He shook his head as he spoke, "You don't know, these people are about to leave the branch guild. Letting their suggestions influence your judgment, wouldn't it be a bit..."
The receptionist had already taken two steps back. Even though these people were not afraid of death, he was still afraid.
Cecilia did nothing but looked at the people sitting below.
It is not difficult to see from the eyes of some people that they agree with this "outspoken bird".
This guild is truly full of hidden talents.
The quill was suspended in mid-air, showing no sign of writing anything further.
The "outspoken bird" was still standing there, a little anxious, "Sir, you..."
Before she could finish her words, Cecilia chose to release the silencing spell this time and directly used magic to throw the person out of the branch guild's yard.
The feather pen remained motionless, and she just looked quietly at the person sitting below.
Someone has already reacted.
Even if Lesley Ann didn't say it explicitly, they understood what he meant - "If you don't agree, get out."
No one dared to continue to express disapproval.
After a long while, Cecilia's quill pen began to move. "Those who volunteer to be branch presidents, please stand up."
Some people gritted their teeth and stood up, while others stood up hesitantly.
A total of seven people stood up one after another.
There are only about thirty people in this branch of the guild, but nearly a quarter of them want the power of the branch president.
Cecilia saw that many people actually wanted to stand up, but in the end, for some unknown reason, they did not.
She didn't think she could choose a reliable branch president from the seven people who stood up. This was just a test. After all, the final right of interpretation was in her hands.
If these people don't listen...
If you don't want to listen, get out.
Anyway, this branch of the guild is rotten to the core, so she doesn't care whether these people will leave.
The feather pen wrote in the air, "You will decide the order among yourselves and come up to make your campaign speeches."
Cecilia didn't want to deal with him any more. She still looked lazy, with her head propped up, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
Finally, the seven people decided on an order and prepared to go on stage to give speeches one by one.
"Wait a minute."
A carriage stopped in front of the branch guild's yard, and it was Lorian who got out of the carriage.
The members of the branch guild were not so unfamiliar as to not recognize the president of their own main guild, and they all greeted him.
For a moment, they couldn't tell whether the president was here to destroy Leslian's business or to support Leslian.
If it's the former...
Then wouldn't this matter of changing the branch president be a waste of time?
But if it's the latter...
They could still say that Leslian had no real power, but now the most powerful person in the entire guild has come. Wouldn't it be a waste of the backup plans that many of them had thought of in advance?
Lorian walked up to Cecilia and whispered, "I'm sorry I'm late."
Cecilia smiled slightly.
Lorian probably set off immediately after seeing the letter he had delivered in the morning.
Besides, Lorian's timing of appearance was just right, neither too early nor too late.
After learning a little about the situation from several judges nearby, Lorian officially took over the responsibility of re-selecting branch presidents from Cecilia.
Now the previous branch president has been completely dismissed.
The seven candidates took the stage to speak. Cecilia listened to their speeches and observed the reactions of the judges.
A lot can be learned from the reactions of these people.
Lorian was also doing two things at once. On one hand, he was listening to those people's speeches, and on the other hand, he was flipping through the information that Cecilia had placed next to him.
The similarities in the speeches of these people were alarmingly high. The theme was nothing more than strengthening the branch guild and eliminating the unhealthy practices that had lingered in the branch guild. They also mentioned how they would strengthen the branch guild after they assumed office.
The seven people's methods were different, but the essence was the same - asking Lorian for money openly or secretly.
The abacus beads are about to fall on your face.
Lorian, on the other hand, listened to everyone's speeches calmly, put the information back to its original place, and did not comment on anything. He first looked at the people chosen by Cecilia as judges, "What do you think of the speeches of these seven people just now?"
These people were really planning to leave this filthy place after their contract expired, and today they did see the guild's rumored president and the recently famous hero Leslian.
It seems that this branch guild still has some merits.
But how long can these people stay here?
After all, I and these scumbags are the ones living in the same city. We see each other every day and no one wants to really fall out.
Several people sent a representative, who only said some polite words in the end.
Lorian shook his head upon hearing this, turned his head and looked at the seven people with a half-smile, "From what you said just now, it seems that you are also very aware of the problems that existed in the previous branch guild."
He did not give them a chance to answer. The smile on his face was not even visible in his eyes. "Since we knew that there were problems with the previous branch guild, why didn't anyone say anything? If I had known about it earlier, wouldn't we have been able to change the branch president a long time ago?"
Lorian changed to a more comfortable position and leaned back in his chair. "Let's not talk nonsense. I have only one criterion for selecting a branch president. Whoever can describe the previous president's work in the most detail will be the new branch president."
