CHAPTER 1044: CHAPTER 1041: BEING EUNUCHS SUITS YOU BETTER

Lin Tian could probably guess why this rule had never been used before. It used to be that the major families took turns being the president. No one was foolish enough to cause trouble, and the smaller families didn’t dare to either.

But this time was different. Just like Shen Yuankui said, the Xiao Family was just a small family. The commerce association had never had a small family as the president. Now that the president’s position had fallen to them, no longer being held by those major families, they naturally weren’t willing.

"Everyone heard this. This rule is not something I made up out of thin air; it’s existed since the founding of the association. Today’s test is completely in accordance with the unwritten rules of the association and is absolutely fair and just. If the Xiao Family doesn’t dare to accept, then after today, the Yunhua Commerce will no longer recognize the status of the Xiao Family." Shen Yuankui said loudly. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Brother Shen is right. If they don’t even dare to accept the test, how can they have the courage to lead?" Qian Wanguan also said coldly.

Lin Tian almost couldn’t help but curse. Shen Yuankui had the nerve to claim absolute fairness. If Shen Yuankui truly cared about the development of the association, he would be qualified to say this, but he was obviously in it for himself. He had allied with the Qian Family and Zhao Family and several of the major families to support Qian Jin to become president, so they would have the power to move against the Xiao Family and divide up the Xiao Family’s resources.

The eldest Miss naturally also understood the stakes. If she accepted the test and didn’t pass, Qian Jin would inevitably become the president, which wouldn’t be good for the Xiao Family.

Yun Hongxi turned to look at Lin Tian and the eldest Miss, and said, "Do you have the confidence to face Shen Yuankui’s test? If you pass this test, your prestige within the association will rise to a new level."

The eyes of Qian Jin and his group flickered. They naturally understood what Yun Hongxi meant. If the Yun Family passed the test, it would win the people’s hearts, and where people’s hearts were, their status would naturally rise.

However, knowing that the questions would come from their side, they calmed down again.

"Us? Isn’t it just the eldest Miss alone?" Lin Tian caught the key point in Mr. Yun’s words and asked in confusion.

Yun Hongxi smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, because of the uncertainty of the test, the difficulty could be very high. So, in the interest of fairness, the founders left a window of opportunity for future presidents. Anyone from the president’s team can replace or join the president in the test, but only one person."

"I see." Lin Tian suddenly understood, but he also knew that the so-called high difficulty must be reasonable. If you asked the new president to bring down a satellite from the sky, that would obviously be impossible.

"Of course, you can choose not to agree, but then you’ll miss the opportunity to prove the Xiao Family." Yun Hongxi said solemnly.

"Eldest Miss, anyway, you’re the boss, so it’s up to you. If you want to accept the test, I’ll accompany you. No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. Even if we don’t pass the test in the end, lose the presidency, and the Xiao Family is pushed out of the association, I’ll still stand by your side to hold up the Xiao Group. They won’t be able to take even a single hair from us." Lin Tian said with a slight smile.

"You scoundrel, at this time, can’t you speak more pleasantly instead of so rudely?" The eldest Miss blushed when Lin Tian mentioned even a single hair, and coquettishly scolded him.

However, although she said this, looking at Lin Tian, she felt touched. Despite Lin Tian being so unserious, whenever she saw his carefree laughing and cursing manner, the eldest Miss felt at ease and simultaneously full of confidence.

She did not hesitate further and nodded to Mr. Yun, saying, "I’m willing to take the test."

"Good, I didn’t misjudge you." Yun Hongxi seemed very happy, then turned to Shen Yuankui and said, "Brother Shen, I’ve asked them, and they’re willing to accept your test. What challenge do you have for them?"

When others heard that the eldest Miss was willing to accept the test, they were full of admiration. This test was clearly a deliberate difficulty set by Shen Yuankui’s group. Since it was deliberate, would they give a chance to pass?

However, the businessmen were also intrigued. This test was unprecedented in Yunhua Commerce, and they wanted to see how exciting it would turn out to be.

Upon hearing that the Xiao Family accepted the test, a hidden smile appeared in the eyes of Shen Yuankui and his companions, as if they could already see the Xiao Family’s defeat.

Shen Yuankui stood up from his seat, contemplated for a moment, and said, "Before the test begins, I must confirm one thing. Xiao Manxue, are you taking the test alone, or with someone else?"

Before the eldest Miss could speak, Lin Tian loudly said, "Of course, it’s the two of us. You have three people setting the test. Wouldn’t it be too unfair if only one person took it on?"

Lin Tian deliberately emphasized the word "fair," clearly mocking Shen Yuankui’s earlier "fair and just" claim.

A shadow flickered in Shen Yuankui’s eyes, but he still replied indifferently, "If I’m not mistaken, only two from the Xiao Family are here. Are you sure the Xiao sisters are both taking the test?"

Lin Tian waved his hand and smiled, "No, no, as a man, how can I let two women take on the challenge? Of course, it’s me and the eldest Miss taking the test together."

"You?" Shen Yuankui was taken aback, frowning.

Regarding Lin Tian, he suddenly found him hard to read, because the fact that Lin Tian was able to cure Yun Hongxi was something he couldn’t grasp, so Shen Yuankui was genuinely afraid that Lin Tian might become a disruptor.

"Lin Tian, on what grounds do you take the test? You’re not a member of the Xiao Family. Or have you already become the Xiao Family’s son-in-law?" Bai Yuze suddenly said loudly, with a cold smirk on his face.

The eldest Miss and Xiao Manxuan blushed when others mentioned Lin Tian as the Xiao Family’s son-in-law, but they were also very annoyed, because Bai Yuze’s intention was clearly to stir trouble and prevent Lin Tian from joining the test.

"Mr. Bai is right. Given your status, Lin Tian, it’s not suitable for you to partake in the test with Miss Xiao." Shen Liyan also voiced his opposition.

"I think it would be more appropriate for the Xiao sisters to take the test together. After all, Lin Tian, you are an outsider, and there’s no such thing as external assistance for the president’s test." Qian Jin added.

Although Li Wenrong and others didn’t speak, their smiles indicated that they didn’t want Lin Tian to take the test. Lin Tian curing Yun Hongxi had given him an air of mystery, and they felt uneasy about it.

Ou Mengmeng couldn’t stand it anymore, suddenly stood up, and loudly said, "Are you guys still men? Previously you bullied the Xiao sisters, and now you’re picking on women again. I think you should just travel back in time, get castrated, and go be eunuchs in the Imperial Palace, it suits you better!"

The remark, coming from a girl, seemed quite fierce. Shen Liyan and the others looked extremely displeased but were too proud to argue with a young girl, each wearing a cold expression and saying nothing, clearly intent on not letting Lin Tian take part in the test.
