Chapter 2497 No one raised their hand? Extremely embarrassing!
Early the next morning.
Suddenly, a large group of people appeared on the street, and each of them was announcing a piece of news, which was the identity of the new mayor of Weicheng.
Countless citizens had already heard about this, and they had no resistance to Ling Tian becoming the city lord. Instead, they felt that this was a good situation.
After all, they had been watching everything Ling Tian did. Whether it was Wang Yong or Captain Liu, these people who were said to have exploited them were all killed by Ling Tian.
Naturally, they would not refuse someone who cared so much about Weicheng.
At this time, Ling Tian didn't care about what was happening on the street. He was looking at the heads of the families, with a smile on his face, sitting quietly on the sofa.
"Um... City Lord, we've almost finished publicizing your appointment. In the near future, almost everyone in Weicheng will know that you are the City Lord of Weicheng."
Hearing this, Ling Tian nodded, then looked at Tan Xiaoqiang and said, "Xiaoqiang, do you have any suggestions regarding the title of Weicheng's No. 1 Family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned around and looked at Tan Xiaoqiang, each of them having their own little thoughts in mind.
They all hope to be the number one family in Weicheng.
Even some of the small families have their own obsession with this name.
Tan Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, seemed stumped by the question. A flash of panic crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure. Then, with a faint smile, he said, "Um... City Lord, I think it's better for you to decide this."
"Master Liu, can you tell me?" Ling Tian turned to look at Liu Batian beside him and asked softly.
"If you ask me, it would be better to determine the position based on the family's contribution to Weicheng."
Liu Batian seemed to have prepared for it long ago, and his answer was perfect and objective.
He did not say that his Liu family would become the number one family, nor did he let Ling Tian decide for himself, but he actually gave a standard.
Moreover, this standard can indeed be adopted and is somewhat useful.
Hearing Liu Batian's answer, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and said, "Then, which of these families do you think has made the greatest contribution?"
"The Tan family!" Liu Batian said seriously, "It is because of the Tan family that we can sit here and chat, and Weicheng can return to peace. It's all because of the cooperation between the Tan family and the city lord, so logically speaking, the Tan family deserves the greatest credit."
After these words were spoken, although several families did not want the Tan family to become the number one family, they still nodded, because there was nothing wrong with what Liu Batian said.
It is because of the Tan family that Ling Tian is able to stay in Weicheng. It is precisely because of the Tan family, or rather, because Tan Liwei is better.
After all, if Tan Liwei had not held Ling Tian's position tightly and prevented Captain Liu from finding him, perhaps the situation would not be so satisfactory now.
Of course, the person who was most surprised at this moment was Tan Xiaoqiang.
He originally thought that the Liu family would take the opportunity to embarrass him, but he never imagined that he actually wanted to become the number one family in Weicheng?
Tan Xiaoqiang gave Liu Batian a grateful look, but the latter ignored him and continued softly, "But... if we say who deserves the most credit, it should be Tan Liwei, not Tan Xiaoqiang. So I think the current Tan family is not suitable."
"Liu Batian, what do you mean?"
The moment he finished speaking, Tan Xiaoqiang stood up.
He had a look of anger on his face and his fists clenched unconsciously, as if he would attack Liu Batian in the next second.
The reason why he reacted so strongly was naturally because he felt that Liu Batian looked down upon him.
At first, when Liu Batian said that the Tan family should be the number one family, Tan Xiaoqiang agreed with him and thought that Liu Batian had a good brain. At least he could see that the Tan family was stronger than their Liu family at that time.
But before he could be happy for a while, Liu Batian turned around and said that he was not capable of it. The gap between them made Tan Xiaoqiang react more violently.
However, Liu Batian still ignored the angry Tan Xiaoqiang and continued to look at Ling Tian and said, "I know that Tan Xiaoqiang has good talent and has become the head of a family at such a young age. He is capable, but... the city lord has also seen that his emotions are too unstable."
"Plus, the current Tan family doesn't have many strong people, so if Tan Xiaoqiang becomes the first family, it will inevitably make many families dissatisfied. So I hope the city lord can give it careful consideration!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several family heads beside him nodded in agreement.
Tan Xiaoqiang saw the whole scene. He gritted his teeth, but could do nothing.
Ling Tian, on the other hand, quietly watched Tan Xiaoqiang's angry expression. Then his gaze fell on Liu Batian, and with a hint of admiration in his eyes, he said, "Not bad. I didn't expect that Patriarch Liu's observation skills are quite good and he can notice some details."
"No, no, no, I believe the city lord has also seen it. He is just giving us a chance to show ourselves. This is the opportunity you gave us!"
Wow, this flattery is... pretty good!
Not only Ling Tian was quite satisfied with this, but several family heads around him also looked at Liu Batian with envy on their faces, hoping that they could become so outstanding if they were suitable.
After all, although Liu Batian only said a simple sentence, he kept a low profile from beginning to end, and he was not in a hurry to show off in front of Ling Tian, but instead expressed his ideas objectively.
Considering Liu Batian’s reaction yesterday, Ling Tian felt that the Liu family seemed to have a military advisor with a high IQ. It should be this military advisor who pointed out this path for Liu Batian.
Not bad.
No matter who the other party is, what Liu Batian did at this time was indeed very satisfactory. At least no flaws could be found.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Tian's gaze fell on Tan Xiaoqiang again and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiaoqiang hurriedly said, "City Lord! I feel that our Tan family has made the greatest contribution. We should be the number one family. Besides, isn't it true that I also do what my father did? City Lord, I hope you can consider this carefully!"
Compared with Liu Batian's speech, Tan Xiaoqiang's speech is completely different.
The several families present shook their heads helplessly, obviously not agreeing with Tan Xiaoqiang's remarks.
Noticing everyone's reaction, Ling Tian smiled and said softly, "Okay, since you all have your own opinions, how about the minority obeying the majority? Now, those who support the Tan family as the number one family, raise your hands!"
As soon as he said this, Tan Xiaoqiang looked around suddenly and found that no one raised their hand. Everyone lowered their head and deliberately avoided his sight.
Seeing this, Ling Tian waved his hand and said, "Okay, then support Liu Batian... raise your hands!"
This moment was different from just now. Except for Tan Xiaoqiang... everyone present raised their hands, without exception!
