Shen Yuankui's words were clear enough: we are the elders of the association, and you, as a junior, do not have the qualifications to dictate to us. If it were any average merchant, they would have relented by now, but Yun Haoyu is not the average merchant.
The dignified patriarch of the Yun Family wouldn't yield just because of a few words from an old man. Yun Haoyu remained firm, saying, "Elder Shen, only those holding positions in the association have the authority to manage it. If I am not mistaken, the association does not have an 'elder' position, so your opposition is void."
Yun Haoyu said what other merchants dared not speak: the association does not have an 'elder' position, so there is no management authority. Without management authority, how can they negate the appointment of the new president?
