Chapter 578 - Against Xiong Mai (III) (1/2)
There were gasps in the hall.
How could someone vote against their favor?
”President! You can't! We still support you!” The people in her faction expressed their grievances.
Xiong Mai only smiled. She looked indifferent to all of it. ”Can you tell us now the results? Head Lawyer?”
”Oh, yes, yes. Ahem, the majority of the votes of the forty-three members of the EU Organization results in 31 against 12. Thiry one votes impeaching Miss Xiong Mai as undeserving of the position. According to the results, the lawyers will proceed to the process of officially removing Miss Xiong Mai from the presidential seat of the EU Organization.”
The people in Xiong Mai's faction who did not know of the undercurrents behind the sudden impeachment were unwilling.
How ridiculous! There was no valid reason for impeachment at all, yet the President was still voted to step down!
What in the world was going on?!
The conference hall was silent after the verdict was announced. There was no celebration of success.
All eyes subtly glanced at the woman who was removed from the leadership in the organization.
Xiong Mai stood up. ”That's it. We got the result. Just inform me when the voting for Presidency will start.”
Xiong Mai started to walk outside but stopped before the door. She glanced behind her. ”Oh, I forgot to say. Please tell those people that you've done your role. I know most of you know what I mean. And this kind of play does not bother me a bit. If they trulywant to get to me, then meet me in person. Maybe I'll consider.”
The assistant opened the door for her.
They left the hall calmly.
The people inside the hall were silent, before faint murmurs broke out.
”What does the President mean? Is this some kind of conspiracy?” Those who had no illegal dealings could not understand her words but were able to conjure up various thoughts.
On the other hand, Mr. Wegner and the people who took the 'role' which Xiong Mai spoke of were silent.
Their hearts were uncomfortable.

Thousands of miles away from Country EU, in LG club, Lu Jin received a report.
He read the file.
After that, he fell into deep thoughts.
”What's the matter? Something came up?” Guan Gao Huan was sitting across Lu Jin.
Even though Lu Jin was hard to read sometimes, Guan Gao Huan still knew when his friend was bothered by something.
Lu Jin nodded. He did not hide it.
”It seems like my provocation is not enough.”
”Who are you talking about? Is it Tanaka or Xiong Mai?” Guan Gao Huan knew of Lu Jin's current mission.
”I got Tanaka's already.”
”So it's Xiong Mai.”
”Xiong Mai is harder to deal with. I thought she doesn't mind this kind of power struggle and will concede soon. I underestimated her.”
”Then what do you plan to do?”
Lu Jin looked at the file indifferently. ”I should meet her. ”
Guan Gao Huan raised a brow. ”The Xiong family truly are tough.”
Lu Jin nodded curtly.
This Xiong Mai and that Xiong Zhi were quite the stubborn and difficult ones.
Lu Jin quietly put a note in his mind to meet the woman surnamed Xiong, before asking Guan Gao Huan. ”How is your mission? You seem busy recently.”
The brown-haired man paused and chuckled. ”What I'm busy with? You won't believe it...”
”?”
”I am looking for ways to make Linfeng acknowledge me.”
”...”
Lu Jin stared at Guan Gao Huan.
Indeed, he did not believe those words.
”Tell me honestly, you don't plan to stay under him, do you?”
Guan Gao Huan stared back at Lu Jin.
They knew each other well since young, so even if he try to hide it from Lu Jin, his friend would still hold doubts. And if Lu Jin investigated deeper, that man who kept watch on Lu Jin closely would look into him as well.
Guan Gao Huan sighed. He decided to tell Lu Jin his decision.
”You really know me. To tell you the truth, I do have other plans.”
