Chapter 1093: 953 Chapter New Successor_3
...
In the following three days.
Local rumors were flying everywhere.
People from all departments were too distracted to work, anxiously following the development of events, as it also concerned their own futures. Every power transition was an opportunity to climb up the ladder.
Then, on the morning of the fourth day.
Lang Cai suddenly summoned all the deputies and above to the ward, including Lu Sang and Wu Lei. They immediately understood that Lang Cai had made a decision; some were overjoyed, others despondent.
Inside the ward. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Everyone had arrived.
All unrelated personnel were sent out.
Only the top brass remained.
Their faces showed a variety of expressions.
Kan Qin wore a concerned look, Deputy Leader Ling was still indifferent, while Lu Sang and Wu Lei had particularly sharp looks in their eyes today. Beneath Kundun’s serious exterior, his eyes sparkled, and his back was much straighter.
Lang Cai, looking at the people standing in a circle before him, particularly at Ling, couldn’t help but sigh, "To be young is wonderful."
"Hmm," clearing his throat, Lang Cai said, "The reason I’ve summoned you here today, I believe you’ve all guessed. I can no longer continue to lead you and our country forward.
I must choose a new leader for you. As you know, I was very optimistic about Kundun. However, due to a certain mistake, I had planned to strip him of his qualification as my successor."
Spoken so directly.
Such bluntness did not fit the occasion, and even Kundun felt awkward hearing it.
"I have deeply recognized my mistake and I will never make it again. I will strictly hold myself accountable and do my duty." Instantly, Kundun activated apology mode.
He cursed silently in his heart.
Say it quickly.
There’s no better time than now.
Kundun already knew that Lang Cai was preparing to keep him as the successor. Thinking about soon taking Lang Cai’s position, he hadn’t slept well the night before, waking up four or five times before dawn.
Finally.
Got What He Wished.
Taking hold of great power.
Although there were setbacks along the way, he had still ’worked hard’ to get things back on track. After being busy for so many days and promising many Interests, the season of Harvest was nearly upon him.
Joy bloomed in Kundun’s heart.
Seeing Kundun admit his mistakes.
A subtle, concealed sneer appeared on Lang Cai’s face.
The next moment.
Kundun was stunned by Lang Cai’s next sentence, "I do not regret my previous decision, nor will I retract that order. Deputy Leader Kundun, you are not suitable to take my place."
Lang Cai’s frankness.
Left the other deputies stunned as well, with only Ling maintaining a ’normal’ expression.
"Why?" Kundun’s voice trembled.
Lang Cai looked at Kundun and said slowly.
"Let me first talk about the lesser reason. During my illness, you were too active, too eager. That in itself is not a problem. The problem is that your methods involved an endless offering of national Interests. On that account, you are unfit."
Lang Cai still had more to say.
These promises, mostly made to his own kin, were something he could not convince himself to overlook, entrusting his position to such a person. Otherwise, who knows what else Kundun might sell off in the future.
"I... I..." Kundun was speechless, wanting to explain that it was for your family and relatives, but if he said that out loud, he would truly be shameless. It’s one thing to do it, but another to acknowledge it publicly.
"I was wrong."
"No, you’re not wrong. It’s your ambition that’s wrong, and also me for not noticing the problems in your upbringing, leading to what you are today. Therefore, I owe an apology to your ancestors as well," Lang Cai sighed deeply.
"I... this..."
Kundun didn’t expect Lang Cai to say such things.
What did he mean by that?
"I have carefully considered who can inherit my will and lead this country to revitalization. I considered everyone present, and in the end, only Kundun and Kan Qin were selected.
Unfortunately, Kundun, what you have done has greatly disappointed me. The remaining choice is Kan Qin. Although Kan Qin also has flaws, at least he would not capsize the ship. But a flaw is a flaw.
Picking the tallest of the short is not a solution; this is not child’s play. I must guard the last barrier during my term. Therefore, I propose that Deputy Leader Ling temporarily take over my workload, with a probation period of half a year.
If after six months, he has convinced you all, then he will be the next President."
As soon as these words were uttered.
Everyone except Lu Sang and Wu Lei were shocked.
What’s going on?
Ling?
Wasn’t he the least likely? What on earth happened? Am I dreaming? A pinch... Ouch! Can someone please tell me why...
Seeing everyone’s shock.
A bitter smile emerged on Lang Cai’s face.
Those three days.
Lang Cai didn’t even know how he had gotten through them; it was too damn Stimulating. Without the events of these three days, he would have pushed for Kan Qin, or if not, then another deputy, but never Ling.
