Chapter 1349 The Shaw Family is Done
"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 stime-"
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...
Christ clenched his fists in anger and said in a cold tone, "Well, then let's vote!"
The head of the Poole family spoke, and naturally the other members of the Poole family had no objections.
Freddie looked at Patrick and then at Selena, squinting slightly.
Although the Turner family did not appear to have any advantage, he did not believe that Selena would watch the position of the
head of the Research Institute fall into the hands of the Poole and Shaw families!
Miss Turner was dedicated to regaining everything that the Turner family had lost in the past. This was a rare opportunity, and she
was absolutely not going to give up!
With the precedent of Union University in mind, Freddie deeply understood that the more calmly Miss Turner behaved, the bigger
her ambitions were.
Unfortunately, she was destined to be disappointed this time.
Before coming to the Research Institute, he had given a strict order that the Shaw family would never agree to the opening of the
voting system!
The Turner family's biggest weakness was not power or anything else, but their family bloodline! The chips he held in his hand
were enough to make the Turner family compromise. He was not the one who needed to be worried!
Freddie stared at Selena, waiting to see her face showed disappointment and depression.
Vivian looked at Freddie's calm profile, sweat oozing from her palm, but her eyes revealed determination.
She glanced at a high-ranking member of the Shaw family sitting next to Freddie, clenched her fists, stood up, and exclaimed
loudly, "The Shaw family agrees to initiate the voting system!"

This earth-shattering sentence rang in Freddie's ears, shattering all the calmness on his face in an instant.
He turned his head in disbelief, his gaze shot towards Vivian like an electric current. Before he could speak, he heard the
agreement from others in the Shaw Group.
"Seconded!"
"l also agree!"
"The position of the dean of the research institute must be fair and just. The Shaw and the Poole hold the sattitude!"
Freddie's ears buzzed. He looked at the members of the Shaw family, one after another standing up and pushing the family
towards a point of no return.
He turned pale and was about to shout at these people when Selena, who had been staring at him, suddenly looked up and gave
him a smile.
She whispered, "The Shaw family is finished!"
A wave of coldness surged through Freddie's heart. In just a few seconds of delay, everyone in the Shaw family had made their
stance clear. And privately, even though Freddie held high power, he only represented one vote on the surface. In the case where
the vast majority agreed to initiate the voting system, his opposing vote was of no use.
Veins throbbed on Freddie's forehead. He almost instantly guessed what was going on. He turned his head and angrily stared at
Vivian. Vivian had never seen Freddie with such a terrifying expression. Her heart trembled as she said coldly, "Brother, we've
cthis far. Why don't we fight together?"
"I heard Selena say to Oscar that she's giving up on the competition for the dean of the research institute, and Oscar agreed."
"Selena won't participate in the competition, and even if she did, what difference would it make?"
"There's not a single Turner family member among the high-ranking officials of the research institute. She won't get a single vote!"
Under Freddie's increasingly creepy gaze, Vivian was frightened but still refused to back down. "The worst outcof the voting
system is that the Poole family will cto power..."
Listening to Vivian's self-deception, Freddie couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped her hard.
"Snap!"
