"In terms of qualifications, he is the first candidate for the next dean!"
With the lead of the Shaw Family and the Poole Family, the two major interest groups immediately began recommending their own candidates.
There were few voices in favor of the Turner Family. The Turner Family had been expelled from the research institute for nearly twenty years, and those who supported them had long been marginalized.
Therefore, this situation was predictable early on.
Both Oscar and Selena remained unchanged in their expressions despite the split in opinions. Vivian secretly observed Selena's expression and saw that she was neither panicked nor angry, but rather seemed indifferent. This further confirmed that Selena really intended to give up the candidacy for dean.
Vivian's lips curled up as she discreetly glanced at a neutral high-ranking member whom she had just secretly bought off.
That high-ranking member caught Vivian's hint and immediately stood up, saying, "Mr. Matthews, whether it's Academician Poole or Academician Smith, they both have excellent achievements and qualifications, and it is impossible to determine who is better. Why not vote?"
As soon as this was said, the noisy atmosphere at the scene was momentarily frozen.
In theory, the election of the dean of the research institute should have adopted a voting system.
However…
The group's gaze uncontrollably shifted towards the Turner Family.
If they really opened up the voting system, Selena's elimination was almost a foregone conclusion. Diego and the Turner Family members were eighty percent unlikely to agree.
Diego's face changed as he said, "Although Selena has shallow qualifications, her abilities and character are enough to make up for this deficiency. Give her some time-"
Vivian interrupted Diego with a sarcastic tone, "Diego, we all know that you value Miss Turner, but rules are rules. How can an unvoted dean gain the trust of others?"
She sneered at Selena and sharply accused her, "Hasn't the Turner Family always claimed to be upright and honest?"
"Now, Miss Turner is trying to rely on Diego's support to openly jump over many researchers who are better than you, and claim the position of dean for herself!"
"This kind of opportunistic behavior…doesn't Miss Turner think it's unsightly?"
Selena ignored Vivian and turned to Diego, saying softly, "Diego, fairness and justice, and public opinion are the most important when it comes to the scientific research of H Country."
Diego had originally planned to argue logically, but after hearing Selena's words, he sighed and gave up the idea.
Selena's expression, which prevented Diego from speaking, made Vivian even more convinced of the facts she had overheard before.
The last trace of doubt in her heart was removed, and Vivian lifted her chin, looking at Selena with a cold smile on her face.
Although the people of the Poole Group were puzzled by the Turner family's calm reaction, they agreed to the voting system.
For so many years, although the majority of the Research Institute was dominated by the Poole family, in the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Research Institute was still belonging to the Baxter family.
Now that Diego has voluntarily abdicated, how could the Poole Group not want to take charge openly and honestly?!
As for the voting system, the Poole family has an absolute advantage. The Poole family accounts for half of the senior personnel in the Research Institute.
This decision is beneficial to them without any harm. Therefore, the Poole family immediately had a majority in favor.
Christ looked at Selena.
At this critical moment, Selena did not even speak to him or even look at him...
