Beauty and The Bodyguard - Chapter 9739
9739 Chapter 9738-
Seeing everyone’s uncertain expressions, Wang Tianwen couldn’t help but secretly curse this group of fools with no foresight. They were fooled by the other party with just a few words. They couldn’t even see through his obvious plan, and in turn, they were suspicious of a spy?
They really deserved it. If they weren’t lucky enough to be reincarnated in the Wang family, this group of people wouldn’t even have the qualifications to be parasites!
Cursing was one thing, but if this group of people were really forced to defect on the spot, Wang Tianwen would really want to cry but have no tears. He had no choice but to use his trump card in advance and said,””As long as the talisman making society is under our Wang family, we’re family. There’s nothing wrong with giving up some benefits to our own family, right? However, I do have a small additional request. Xiao Lin, you have to listen to it. ”
!!
Lin Yi raised a brow, ready to listen.
Wang Tianwen cleared his throat.”Once the talisman making society is merged with the Wang family, even though we’re all family, I need you to give up your position as President of the talisman making society in order to fulfill your promise and dispel the suspicion of the entire society.”
“Oh?”
Lin Yi didn’t deny it, but thought to himself that the truth was revealed.
“Xiao Lin, don’t misunderstand. It’s not that I’m worried about you. On the contrary, you’re one of us. If you continue to stay in the talisman making society, it’s inevitable that people will gossip about you. There will be people who will suspect that there’s a spy and doubt your position.”
“If so, I think you might as well let it go. As the clan is in need of talents, a talent like you should shoulder greater responsibilities for the clan. I’ve already found a good position for you in the senior management of the clan. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with it!”
“Also, I’ve said that the clan will not interfere in the matters of the talisman making society, so you can give the president’s position to one of your own. I guarantee that the clan will not order you around and will only support you fully!”
Tianwen’s words were sincere and full of consideration for Lin Yi, and no one could pick a bone with him.
The other Wang clan higher-ups finally came to their senses and chimed in.
At the end of the day, as long as the society didn’t have Lin Yi, they were a piece of meat that they couldn’t fight back against. No one could take it away from them.
As for Lin Yi, since he’s pretty strong, we’ll give him a high position and light authority. If he’s not smart, we can still trick him into charging into the enemy lines and becoming cannon fodder for the Wang family. At worst, we’ll just let him enter the family’s ancestral hall after he dies. To outsiders, that’s the ultimate glory!
Inside and outside, Wang Tianwen could win against them twice. This was called a win-win situation!
“If I were to object, wouldn’t that make me seem like a bad person?” Lin Yi smiled.
Wang Tianwen said with a serious expression,”Xiao Lin, you don’t have to feel burdened. The cooperation between the talisman making society and the Wang family is completely built on a fair and voluntary basis. If you feel that there’s anything inappropriate, you can completely reject it. I personally won’t have any objections. After all, everyone has their own considerations, and it’s completely understandable.”
“Okay, I refuse.” Lin Yi nodded.
“……”
Wang Tianwen was stunned, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Only Wang Tianfeng almost laughed out loud. These smart people thought that Lin Yi would be restricted because of the other people in the society, but they didn’t know that Lin Yi didn’t play this trick at all.
Wang Tianwen had indeed come up with an unsolvable dead end. Logically speaking, Lin Yi would lose no matter what he chose. He would either fall into the trap and suffer, or reject this proposal that would benefit everyone in the society, and be forced to stand against the entire society.
The only thing he missed was that Lin Yi didn’t care.
As one of the five big bosses of the retained, Lin Yi was now one of the top people in Jianghai city. Using a small trick like this to deal with someone of this level was like a street gangster asking for pocket money from a military boss-it was so strange that people couldn’t even curse at it.
Wang Tianwen still hadn’t realized where the problem was and still wanted to try to remedy it. “”This concerns the interests of all the members of the talisman making society. Won’t you reconsider?”
“Yeah, even if you don’t think for your own people, you should at least think for your subordinates, right?”
“You can’t be too selfish,” the higher-ups of the Wang family chimed in.
“Anything else?” Lin Yi asked with a smile. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving. ”
As he spoke, he stood up. Wang Tianwen’s face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. If he was allowed to walk out of the ancestral Hall’s door just like that, the voting meeting of the Wang clan today would turn into a complete farce, and he would become the biggest joke of the day!
“Hold on!”
Wang Tianwen’s face was cold as he was forced to stand up.”I won’t stop you if you want to leave, but I have to make things clear first. The talisman making society joining the Wang family is an irresistible trend. It’s absolutely necessary. Even if you leave, we’ll still vote. When the result is out, it’ll be the will of the entire Wang family. No matter who tries to stop it, it’ll be a Mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
“Didn’t you just say it’s all voluntary?”Lin Yi turned to him, confused.
Wang Tianwen was immediately speechless.
Even though he was thick-skinned enough to slap himself in the face like this was the norm, it was still embarrassing for him to do it in front of all the higher-ups in the family.
The confidant quickly stood up to smooth things over,””Uncle Wen is the most kind person. This is something that everyone in the family can see. That’s why he is willing to withstand the great pressure and offer you such favorable conditions. It’s all for mutual benefit and happiness.”
“It’s a pity that some people are too narrow-minded and only care about themselves. They clearly have gained a great advantage, but they pretend as if they’ve suffered a great loss. We, who are wholeheartedly doing this for the Wang clan and the talisman making society, can’t stand to watch. Naturally, we have to stand up and uphold justice!”
“Well said! Our formation-talisman Wang clan can’t bear to see our talisman-making masters suffer losses, so we naturally can’t just stand by and watch our brothers of the talisman-making society be exploited by someone!”
For a time, the sound of agreement rose and fell.
Lin Yi looked at the crowd with a weird expression,”Hey, since the Wang family is so considerate of you, why don’t you just vote?”
The upper echelons of the Wang family were stunned. Who was this guy talking to?
“I’ve only heard of people in the same trade being enemies, but I’ve never heard of people in the same trade being one family. I’ve finally seen it for myself today. Hearing it almost made me cry. It’s enough to move me for an entire year!”
Liu Yiyuan’s voice rang out from behind the crowd.
At the same time, a group of core members of the talisman making society appeared behind the group, each of them wearing a mocking expression.
The entire Wang family’s ancestral hall was suddenly on guard against a great enemy.”How did you guys get in?”
The Wang family’s defenses had always been the best in Jianghai city, and the ancestral hall was one of the most important places in the Wang family. It was like an ancient forbidden ground, and even the upper echelons of the family were not allowed to enter, much less a group of outsiders!
