Chapter 576 - Against Xiong Mai (1/2)
***
In an assembly hall, the members of the EU Organization had gathered discreetly without notifying their president.
”...We gathered here to question the President's own judgement and credibility in leading EU...”
The opening speech gained many confused and shocked faces in the audience.
Those who were pressured in the underground dealings came to express their thoughts as well, hoping to push the waves to their favor.
”This is necessary, we are left with no choice. We are doing it for EU's sake. Although I admit that the President had done a good job in these years, isn't it better for another more capable person get the chance to take up EU and bring in more benefits to our organization?”
There were dissonant voices, but majority showed their support to the man who had just spoken.
”I disagree. Why are we suddenly questioning the leader's ability? There is no scandal circulating around her and she never failed us once. Why is there a need to change leadership?”
”Clamoring for a new leader might bring more trouble than benefit to our association.”
”The current scenario is already ideal. Stop causing trouble.”
There were also some people whose hands were clean from illegal business who defended Xiong Mai, unclear of why the other members were suddenly acting up.
However, even though what they were saying was the truth, it still fell onto deaf ears. The majority of the people present whose interests were threatened had already hardened their hearts and were resolved to impeach Xiong Mai.
”We will have a voting process on whether we will change the President or not,” the man who held the most influence second to Xiong Mai, Mr. Wegner, spoke.
”This is ridiculous! You gathered us here with the intention to impeach our President without our President knowing! And what do you mean by voting? The majority of you are already expressing your thoughts to change the President!”
”Who would take the position of the President then? Are you implying, Mr. Wegner, that you have the plans to run as the President?”
Mr. Wegner frowned at Xiong Mai's faction.
Their urgent goal today was to impeach Xiong Mai, not to sit on the President's position.
”We should do the process step by step. Our sole purpose in gathering today is whether the President still deserves to maintain her position or not.”
There was a heated argument before the voting process for the presidential position in the organization was finalized.
Those who were in Xiong Mai's faction felt helpless as they were facing against the majority.
In the end, the official voting in the organization will start two days from now.

Later that day, Xiong Mai received a guest. A middle-aged man hastily greeted her when the sun had sank in the horizon.
Xiong Mai gestured for the maids to serve some drinks. ”Mr. Johnson, it is quite a surprise to see you here late in the hour. What brings you here?”
”President Mai, have you heard of the news from our EU?”
