Chapter 1093: Let's See Who's Tougher!
"Old Zhou, can you do a count? Now, with five minutes left, check if all the teams have arrived."
Seeing Meng Kuang and Okazaki Yokawa enter with their people and unapologetically let their men sit in the front row, Qin Tian quietly said to Zhou Yang beside him.
Zhou Yang acknowledged and began to count the teams and numbers.
At this time, Meng Kuang and Okazaki Yokawa walked up to the podium, and according to the nameplates on the seats, they directly sat to the left and right of Qin Tian.
These two, who are normally at each other's throats, now seemed to have reconciled, wearing smiles and ignoring Qin Tian sitting in the middle, directly disregarding him.
"Boss, everyone's here..."
At this time, after counting the teams, Zhou Yang walked onto the stage and quietly reported to Qin Tian.
However, halfway through his sentence, his gaze fell directly on the seat next to Okazaki Yokawa; it was an empty seat.
The seat originally belonging to Korea Mercenary Team's leader Park Chang-ho was vacant; Park Chang-ho had not come!
"Well... Korea Mercenary Team's Park Chang-ho hasn't come. I'll call him immediately and find out what's going on..."
Zhou Yang said this as he took out his phone to make a call.
Qin Tian reached out to stop him: "You've already called him, no need."
With that, Qin Tian glanced at the time; there was one minute left until nine-thirty.
Qin Tian knew Park Chang-ho was one of Okazaki Yokawa's men, so he intentionally raised his voice and said, "There's one minute left until nine-thirty. If the representative from the Korea team hasn't arrived, our first agenda today will be a vote by all members on expelling the undisciplined Korea Mercenary Team. Over half the votes, and they're directly expelled!"
"Good..."
"Wait!"
Just as Zhou Yang responded, Okazaki Yokawa immediately spoke up: "Qin Tian, Park Chang-ho went out today. Haha, he called me very early this morning to personally congratulate you on your election as chairman. If he's not here now, I guess there's traffic congestion, or his car has broken down..."
As Okazaki Yokawa was speaking, Qin Tian checked the time again, then pointed to the time on his phone, speaking sternly: "Captain Yokawa, I notified everyone last night, if they aren't here by nine-thirty, any team is subject to expulsion voting, thus..."
"Hahaha, Qin Tian, don't be so serious. It's just a meeting, if you have any new regulations or statements, I can record them and pass them on to Park Chang-ho. Expulsion? Hehe, to say nothing else, the Korea Mercenary Team is an elder team in the Asian Mercenary Association, having been present since its establishment. Also, the Korea Mercenary Team is a member of the Asian Mercenary Association's committee, you as the newly appointed chairman, just say expel, and they're expelled? That's too domineering, hahaha..."
Okazaki Yokawa spoke cheerfully.
His eyes fixed on Qin Tian, seemingly smiling but with a sinister, provocative glare!
His tone even carried provocation and warning!
He seemed to be warning Qin Tian, you just got appointed, no chance of recklessness.
However, Qin Tian was not swayed by this, speaking calmly: "Captain Yokawa, you need to understand, I am not the one trying to expel the Korea Mercenary Team; it's the association. Did I not say? A full vote, over half through, then an expulsion. If less than half approve, Korea Mercenary Team not coming this time, I have no problem, after all, it's everyone's opinion, wouldn't you say?"
"Besides, you mentioned the Korea Mercenary Team is an elder, truly dedicated in the Asian Mercenary Association? Then I believe, the Korea Mercenary Team's actions are seen by all teams. I also believe, the Korea Mercenary Team in the association has very high popularity. Hmm, given that, if we hold a vote on them, I would think they wouldn't worry about failing the vote and being expelled, right?"
Qin Tian's words had a somewhat aggressive tone, which made Okazaki Yokawa's former cheerful expression turn serious.
"Qin Tian, are you determined to expel the Korea Mercenary Team?"
Okazaki Yokawa clenched his teeth, looking quite displeased.
What traffic congestion, what possible car breakdown, these were all excuses for Korea Mercenary Team not attending the meeting.
The real reason is that Okazaki Yokawa was furious about Qin Tian's election as the new chairman, so he deliberately instructed Park Chang-ho not to attend this meeting as a warning to Qin Tian, to curb Qin Tian's momentum!
Moreover, last night, Okazaki Yokawa assured Park Chang-ho over the phone: "Rest assured Park Chang-ho, I'm still here in the Asian Mercenary Association, I, Okazaki Yokawa am here, I can hold down that Qin Tian, he won't dare do anything to you. Humph, expel you Korea? Qin Tian needs to ask me if I agree first!"
"It infuriates me that the chairman position was snatched by Qin Tian, humph, I will bring him down, within a month I will force him to resign! Otherwise, if he doesn't let go of the chairman position, my Dahe will destroy Skull before we use War Dragon as a salutation!"
Last night, Okazaki Yokawa made a firm promise to Park Chang-ho.
So the foolish Park Chang-ho believed it and really didn't come today.
Okazaki Yokawa thought he could suppress Qin Tian, but unexpectedly, he was stumped and didn't know how to rebut Qin Tian's words just now.
His cheek twitched, seeing Qin Tian being serious, he inevitably felt a bit uneasy.
After all, from yesterday's chairman election, War Dragon in the association has a surprisingly high number of supporters.
Sixty percent support!
If today's vote on expelling the Korea Mercenary Team is conducted, with War Dragon holding sixty percent support, wouldn't it be truly possible to eliminate Dahe's best ally in the association, Korea?
"Cough, cough..."
Okazaki Yokawa thought it over carefully, slightly compromised, and spoke to Qin Tian more courteously.
"Qin Tian, how about this, I'll request a leave of absence for the Korea Mercenary Team, afterward Park Chang-ho will give you a leave note. About expulsion, let's just forget it, don't be too serious about it... You Huaxia have a saying, take it seriously and you lose, hehe..."
"Hehe..."
Facing Okazaki Yokawa's smile, Qin Tian coldly replied with a "hehe," which directly made Okazaki Yokawa's cheek twitch but had no choice but to bear it.
"Rules are rules, I notified everyone last night. Korea knowingly violates the rules, I cannot go easy."
As for Okazaki Yokawa's suggestion of a leave request and leave note, Qin Tian found it laughable and directly rejected it.
"Captain Yokawa, you think this is primary and secondary school? Still writing leave notes? Do I look like a homeroom teacher? If I were a homeroom teacher, I would have expelled someone as rebellious as Park Chang-ho immediately!"
