Chapter 482 - Ruined Plan (2/2)
All of the elders were looking at Kanae with confused expression. They felt as if they were facing a completely different person. Even though Laura has never been a pushover, she usually maintained her respect in front of other people. But now, she didn't even care for their face and made her decision right away.
There were several other plans and Kanae only accepted a few of them. Many of them didn't make sense according to the situation of the city, so she didn't wish to agree.
”Alright, it's already afternoon, so we shall end the meeting today,” the grand elder suddenly spoke out. ”For the companies which we agree to have cooperation, please come back here after lunch. We'll discuss more of the proposal.”
”Thank you everyone.”
”Good work.”
The grand elder nodded and looked at the elders. ”Before that, all elders from Nali Family, stay behind.”
This time, they didn't directly agree and looked over to Kanae. From the way she behaved before, they knew that she wished for them to follow after her words first before doing anything.
Kanae nodded her head. ”Stay behind.”
The grand elder's eyes flashed for a split second. The moment everyone else have gone out and the door was closed, he banged the table before him.
Bang!
”Can someone tell me what's the meaning of Family Head's action just now?”
”That… She's just being willful, Grand Elder,” one of the elders spoke out. ”Because of her youthfulness, she forgets how to…”
”Before you start slighting me, let me make one thing clear: am I your family head or not?” Kanae looked at the man with cold expression. Her small body seemed to emit a dangerous aura as she smirked. ”Do you really think that I'm easy to bully because I'm still young?”
”No! We never…”
”Why did you never tell me anything about this grand meeting before the date?” Kanae knew every important event in Nali Family because Laura told her and that sister of hers never told her about this. This made her certain that they never told Laura about this to make fun of her as the family head. They wished to make her unable to speak at all.
”That…”
One elder looked at the others. ”They're the one who plan for this! I'm innocent, Family Head.”
”Why are you blaming us? We're not doing this on purpose.”
”Yes! We just….”
Bang!
”If you keep on talking, I'll cut off your tongue,” the grand elder spoke in indifferent tone, yet his gaze was cold. ”Make 100 pages of report. I wish to see them by tonight.”
Tonight?
The elders felt as if they were treated like students. Moreover, 100 pages? It would be already good enough to type five pages in an hour, now they have to create much more?
They knew that this grand elder just wished to punish them.
”But…”
”200 pages by tomorrow midnight.”
”That's unfair!”
”300 pages in three days.”
The elders' face twitched. They knew that this grand elder would just increase the number whenever they argued back. If this continued, they wouldn't be able to work at all.
”We understand, Grand Elder.”
”If you don't write it with your hand, I won't read it and you can get out of the family,” the Grand Elder added.
”… We understand.”
As if they were defeated, everyone walked out with their head hung low. They knew that they wouldn't be able to sleep at all for the next few days.
The grand elder humped and turned to look at Kanae. ”Even though so, I believe that you shouldn't have meddled like that, Kanae.”
