no good looks, no figure, no money, no power. This useless jerk, she really should stab him to death with a knife!Zhou Xiangliang knew he was in the wrong and simply endured it, not fighting back. He..."rongqi just said: (...) "We can't find a suitable candidate right away, Rongling, you can do more work and help bear with it for now!"

“My mind is made up!” he said coldly. “Besides, I have my own company and a lot on my plate. Furthermore, handling both the Mu family affairs and the Asia East Corporation has been a heavy burden. Being in two roles at once inevitably leads to accusations of ‘using power for personal gain.’ In the future, if anything happens, it will undoubtedly become entangled and complicated. So, I have to cut ties!”

Once these words were spoken, Rong Qi was speechless.

Rong Fei frowned and changed the subject. "Right now, there aren't any suitable candidates. The younger generation hasn't had enough experience. Promoting them directly wouldn't follow the rules of past headmaster selections."

Rong Ling waved her hand, stopping Rong Feiwu's words.

“You shouldn't rely entirely on this younger generation. Among those who went through trials with me back then, there were also outstanding individuals. You can definitely find suitable candidates among them. Besides, even if we start the selection process for the head of the family now, their time spent training outside wouldn't exceed three years. I see that you still have plenty of energy, and with your leadership skills, you can manage things well on the Eastern Front. Therefore, you might as well act as the interim head of the family for three years!”

Well, now Rong Fei Wu is finished, speechless.

Having made his decision, Rong Ling had everything figured out. There was no room for anyone to persuade him.

Rong Ling didn't wait for these people to say anything more, he just repeated himself.

"About the board meeting tomorrow, that's settled then. I'll have someone send out the notice shortly. Now, there's something else I want to talk about – Mengmeng's situation!"

Now it's Big Aunt's turn to be on high alert. She sat up straight and watched Rong Ling with vigilance.

"As for Du Caiyi's situation, everyone has seen it. There is a big reason behind this, which is that Mengmeng became the aunt's designated successor. I thought about it, Mengmeng is still too young. If she takes on this position so early, she could stay in it for four or five decades. This would definitely dash the hopes of many women in the clan and would also invite a lot of resentment. For example, Du Caiyi is one of them. So, let's postpone the succession to aunt for now and give other women in the clan a chance. We can talk about it again when Mengmeng grows up. I don't want Mengmeng to be targeted by unnecessary resentment because of this position, or even face any more life-threatening danger!"

Du Caoyi, you misunderstand me!

Her aunt was incredibly angry!

That old fool, doing such a stupid thing, drove Rong Ling to the point of leaving, and even caused her crush, Lin Meng, to be driven away. What a huge mistake that old fool made!

"No!" she gritted her teeth, coldly rejecting him. What did he think Solving Du Caixin was something the men of the clan could handle, why drag her into it It turned out, there was a bigger matter waiting for her here!

"Du Caixin is an exception. There aren't that many people in the family who don't know what's good for them. Besides, I have the final say in who takes care of this aunt. Most of the people in the family agree with me too. Rong Ling, you can't go against everyone just because of Du Caixin. What happened with Mengmeng was already decided. You agreed to it at the time, and as you said yourself, 'A person without integrity cannot stand.' If you agreed to something, how can you change it so easily!"

Feng Ling remained calm and composed, coolly asking back.

"Auntie, are you sure that most of the tribe agree with this! You know people by their faces but not by their hearts. They may say good things on the surface, but who knows what they really think! And did you really ask everyone in the tribe! Besides, I agreed at first because of what you said, and because I trusted you as my aunt. But I never expected something like this to happen with Du Caiyi buying a hitman to kill someone. In my heart, Mengmeng's life is the most important. For her safety, I would rather break my promise!"

In a nutshell, he's the one who keeps his promises and the one who breaks them. He sets these double standards and acts so irresponsibly, but what can you do about it He doesn't want to be the head of the family and won't let Mengmeng be the aunt-in-law either. Can you force him into it What's truly infuriating is that both positions are the most prestigious and sought after, yet he treats them with such disdain. You have to constantly appease and persuade him!

Aunt Rong's heart was filled with both anger and frustration. She was completely speechless when confronted by Rong Ling, and in the end, she could only coldly utter this remark.

In short, Mengmeng becoming the big aunt is a foregone conclusion!

"Auntie, why don't you ask others again!" Rong Ling's face darkened slightly, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at his aunt. (..tw) "Mengmeng is a latecomer to this. I believe that before Mengmeng, Auntie, you certainly had other candidates for the position of Matriarch in mind. I also believe that some women in the clan are very eager for Auntie's position. Don't let your stubbornness cause resentment. To put it more clearly, our attitude towards the position of Matriarch is indifferent, but for some people, it seems to be half their life. So, you may as well give this opportunity to those who truly desire it. Let me make it even clearer, once I step down, family affairs have nothing to do with me. Even if Mengmeng becomes the Matriarch, I won't interfere. If you expect to bind our couple together using this position, that's absolutely impossible!"

This has been made clear enough, basically exposing how people like my aunt and Rong Qi interrupted at the beginning!

A few people's faces changed slightly, but they were all old hands and had strong willpower, so the change wasn't very obvious.

Ronger just stood up.

"That's all I have to say for now. After the board meeting, we'll discuss what to do about Mengmeng and come up with a solution. Auntie, you guys think it over carefully!"

After he finished speaking, he strode away. His actions were domineering and decisive, with not a trace of reluctance. The sight of him left these old-timers both sighing wistfully and shaking their heads in amazement!

This host and aunt's position, people really don't care!

"What should we do now" Rong Nineteen asked weakly.

A dozen or so people looked at Rong Qi, then Rong Fei Wu, and then the elder aunt. As for Rong Si, he was only responsible for enforcing the law. With Du Cai Yi being dragged away, this matter within the clan had nothing to do with him anymore. He remained silent, simply watching from the side.

Since the matter involves the succession of the head of the household and the replacement of the eldest aunt, it cannot simply be left to these old folks here to discuss.

"Bring Peak and them over here!" Rong Qi said so.

Young people have many ideas and should be included in the discussion. Moreover, these older folks are practically antiques; some can't keep up with the times and need to appropriately listen to the opinions of young people.

The aunt also agreed when she heard this, and she called out a few names herself, asking someone to bring those people over.

At last, all these people gathered together at Rong Fei's martial arts family. Roughly speaking, there were about thirty of them!

All the chairs and such were arranged beforehand. When these people arrived, they picked their spots and sat down. In the end, they were scattered yet harmonious, forming roughly a circle.

This kind of important event should have been presided over by Rong Feiwu, the former head of the family, but... firstly, his wife Du Caiyi did such an immoral thing, and the stimulation he received tonight was not small, so it wouldn't be suitable for him to preside over it. Secondly, before Rong Ling left, he also mentioned Rong Wu's name, saying that it would be good for him to continue acting as the head of the family. Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Rong Feiwu shouldn't take the lead at this time.

So, Wei Xin also wasn't inferior to Rong Fei Wu's Rong Qi. He stood up and presided over this small family meeting. He briefly explained about Du Cai Yi's matter, and in the astonished or angry gazes of the crowd, he also mentioned Rong Ling's decision.

There was an immediate uproar below.

Rongshen then raised both hands and pressed down.

"Let's all be quiet, just be still!"

He commanded enough respect that the crowd quickly fell silent.

"I called everyone here because I want us to discuss the matters regarding the patriarch and aunt together. The board meeting will be held the day after tomorrow morning, and we only have one day left. The time is tight, very rushed, and when the board meeting ends, Rong Ling will have to hear the result of his successor. If we can't come up with a reasonable reason to persuade Rong Ling at that time, I'm afraid Lin Meng will just quit on the spot. So, everyone, let's not discuss Du Caiyi for now. Let's first think about and talk about these two things: how should we handle them!"

Everyone immediately started discussing what to do, with most people agreeing that the best course of action was to approach Lin Meng. Rong Ling was a proud and domineering person who rarely changed his mind once made. The only exception was usually when it came to Lin Meng. If they wanted him to change his decision, they had to persuade Lin Meng. However, Lin Meng was also very independent and fiercely protective of Rong Ling, no less than Rong Ling himself. Convincing her to persuade Rong Ling to change his mind would be a difficult task. But how could they possibly convince her

Everyone was discussing when someone suddenly called out.

"Not good, just got the news, Rong Ling has already sent out an email, specifically stating that there will be a board meeting at 9 am the day after tomorrow to hold the handover ceremony for the new term!"

This is a message coming into his phone!

In other words, once this email is sent, there is no room for Ling to step down. As the head of the Rong family and CEO of Yadong, he cannot act recklessly. Especially since this email is being sent in a group, he can't go back on his word and say things like "it was all a misunderstanding" or "it doesn't count". Doing so would not only damage Ling's reputation but also the reputation of the Rong family and Yadong.

He's so fast, so decisive. That means he's already thought this through and acted on it, there's no going back now!

This matter of Rong Ling retreating from his position is nailed to the floor, through and through!

They don't even have to worry about how to remedy Rong Ling's anger. With Rong Ling's pride, there's no way he would take back this email or these words. Even if they tried to get Lin Meng to intervene, it wouldn't work!

The faces of the crowd suddenly fell.

Previously, Rong Ling was forced to abdicate but unexpectedly became the president of Shuangmu Group. He was shot multiple times and fell into the sea, yet miraculously returned. Finally, he successfully led the Rong family through a major crisis. To be honest, in the hearts of many people in the Rong family, Rong Ling has already become a god-like figure. Even some things about him have become a kind of faith, making people feel that as long as he is there, the Rong family will absolutely be safe and sound!

He abdicated so resolutely, causing heartbreak and disappointment to many. The hatred for Du Caiyi intensified even further! If not for her meddling, how could such a sudden event have occurred All the previous signs clearly indicated that Rong Ling would remain as the head of the family!

Even if everyone's mood is downcast and bleak, we still have to face this established fact. So what comes next is, how should Lin Meng handle this How can she be persuaded to take over the family business, or perhaps, is there even a need to persuade her at all! Because the original decision was made to keep Rong Ling. Now that Rong Ling cannot stay and has explicitly stated that he won't care about the Rong family even if Lin Meng becomes the head of the family, then, is there any point in keeping Lin Meng around
