Hong Kong Movies: Dongxing Dandy, Xia He, the Scraping Knife at the Beginning

Cough, cough, cough!

He cleared his throat and spoke again:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am fully aware that I am old and in poor health and cannot cope with the development of the community."

"My only nephew Luo Tianming is extremely talented and has made great contributions to the development of the Dongxing Society over the years."

"I think he is the most suitable successor!"

"Although this move may seem to violate tradition, I believe that only with the addition of new forces like Luo Tianming can the Dongxing Society become more vibrant!"

"Therefore, I decided to pass the leadership position to him, and let him lead everyone to create a brighter and more glorious future for the East Star Society!"

Luotuo's words were firm and powerful, and he was obviously full of confidence.

Luo Tianming also stood up and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Dear brothers, I deeply feel that my uncle's entrustment is as heavy as Mount Tai and the responsibility is arduous."

"My personal ability is still insufficient, and I need more advice from everyone"

"If I can be entrusted with an important task, I will do my best to work with you to push the East Star Society towards a stronger goal!"

Luo Tianming's words revealed confidence and humility.

The scene was silent for a while, and everyone was quietly waiting for the next move of the Luo family father and son.

The elders looked at each other, and finally the oldest elder slowly stood up.

He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"It is understandable that the leader wants to retire, but the matter of passing on the throne is a serious matter and must not be done rashly."

"To take over the leadership, one not only needs to know how to run a business, but more importantly, one needs to be able to turn the tide when the society is in trouble and fight for the society at the risk of one's life!"

The elder's implication was that Luo Tianming was just a businessman and did not have enough strength to be the leader.

Before the elder finished speaking, he winked at a hall master with extraordinary skills.

The hall master immediately understood and stood up and echoed:

"That's right, if you want to take on the important task of being the leader, you must have the awareness and strength to fight for the society!"

The successive speeches of the elders and the hall master immediately caused a subtle change in the public opinion in the field.

The people who had originally enthusiastically supported Luo Tianming to take over now looked at each other with some hesitation.

The oldest elder looked around and saw that everyone's attitude had changed, and he was secretly happy.

He continued in a deep voice:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are all veterans of Dongxing and we all know that the road to power is difficult."

"It is not enough to have business acumen, but also requires extraordinary courage and will to stabilize the overall situation in turbulent times and allow all brothers to develop their careers with peace of mind."

The elder said with deep meaning:

"We have served the Dongxing Society for decades and are well aware of the rise and fall of societies."

"It is probably unfair to pass on the important role of the leader just because of a whim."

"I think it is safer for the elders with rich experience to take over."

After hearing this, all the core members nodded in agreement.

Even the younger brothers who had always supported Luo Tianming were a little shaken, and seemed to think that the elders' words were impeccable.

Even Luo Tuo frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the elders' remarks.

He and Luo Tianming exchanged worried glances, and both felt that the public opinion in the field was subtly changing.

(cgai) Another hall master who stood on the same front as the elders immediately seized the opportunity and echoed:

"That’s right!"

"We are brothers who have been through life and death for many years and we know the righteousness of justice."

"Taking over the leadership position is not only about business acumen, but also about whether one can sacrifice his life to protect all brothers in times of crisis!"

The hall master's words further shook the younger brothers' positions. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

They looked at each other and began to feel that Luo Tianming might indeed be too young and did not have enough strength and prestige to take on the important task of being the leader.

"It's a bit difficult to control the club in front of so many elders.…"

"Alas, the elders' remarks are reasonable. Let's not be obsessed with Brother Ming's succession..."

The attitudes of the younger brothers were obviously shaken, which surprised Luo Tianming and Luo Tuo.

They did not expect that the elders and the hall master could work together to reverse the public opinion in a short period of time and make everyone start to oppose Luo Tianming's succession.

The calm and experienced elders and hall masters have successfully made everyone present begin to doubt whether Luo Tianming is really capable of taking on the responsibility.

Luo Tianming and Luo Tuo looked at each other and felt that the elders seemed to have been prepared for a long time and were determined to win this time...

Luo Tianming frowned slightly and sneered contemptuously.

He slowly stood up and said in an arrogant tone:

"My uncle's decision is unquestionable. If you have any objections, you can get out of the East Star Society right now and never step into it again!"

Luo Tianming's tough speech immediately set off a lot of discussion in the audience

"Luo Tianming is such an arrogant kid. A junior actually openly contradicts the elders!"

"The senior members of the society advised him to think twice, but he was so blunt and didn't give them face. He showed no respect for the elders at all!"

"He is still young and full of vigor. If he openly challenges the elders, it will probably arouse the disgust of the senior elders."

The brothers and younger brothers were whispering, shocked by Luo Tianming's strong style and outspokenness.

The faces of the senior elders became more and more ugly, their brows were furrowed, and they looked angry.
