Chapter 87 [Super Sect Leader]
.I always thought that Longda was absolutely indifferent to the world, and there was no problem with him who would do this position. However, now I know that he really wanted me to sit in this position, and not anyone else got this position. But why? In fact, it doesn’t matter at all. This is just the good wishes of several old people. I thought our ideas were consistent and satisfying the elderly. The final result was actually not important.
It seems that I was wrong...
Although Long Da made me realize his ambition for the first time, I am also grateful for his care for me. His ambition is not for myself, but for me.
"Long Da, I am very grateful to you, but my decision is already like this. Either, three years later, Wu Feng is willing to hand over the entire family to me, or I will return this family to him. In short, I don't want to take away the fruits of other generations of struggle because of Mr. Wu or someone else's decision. You should know that I have never been keen on this. In fact, if I were a person who would covet these things, I would probably not be able to sit here with you and drink leisurely today.
Heart-to-heart talk. What you get is your caution... Sometimes, once you take the first step, this person's path has been decided. No matter whether you think I have disappointed you, or you disdain for my decision without ambition, I know that if you continue talking, Long Da may scold my wife for being kind like the last time I let go of those rat dealers. However, there is no way, the family style is like this, I think my parents will definitely agree with my opinion very much..."
Long Da stopped talking, just lowered his head and looked up from time to time to look at me.
Fang Dafu was also pondering, taking a cigarette from my cigarette box, holding it in his mouth but not lit it for a long time.
"Shi Lei. Have you ever thought that your decision would disappoint the elderly? After thinking about it for so many years, they finally saw the hope of having the opportunity to merge your family into a big family, but they were easily abandoned by you." Fang Dafu finally spoke, "And, this matter is no longer entirely the business of your family. It also involves many people related to your family's industry, such as me. The Feng family in Hong Kong, many other companies and families..."
I still smiled slightly, "Senior Brother Fang, it is precisely because of the wide range of involvement that I don't want the inclination and intrigue of us to ultimately harm the interests of the family. If we are the leader, Wu Feng and I have been in a state of open and secret struggle, including... Well, Long Da. Don't blame me for being straightforward. And your sister and your younger brother, if I don't get Wu Feng's support, I'm afraid they will soon stand with Wu Feng. And Wu Bian and Wu Huan, who had no covetousness in this matter, can't be guaranteed that they will not be moved by this, including Sister Yun's husband, you can guarantee that they will not fight with me all the time? In the end, they will let outsiders get a bargain, especially the Bai family and Zheng family, which have been eyeing our families... At that time, I will be busy with this? Wouldn't I be even more sorry for the elderly?"
Long Da nodded, "We have considered all what you said, so Mr. Wu is so eager to help you sit in this position when his body still allows him. At least several old people were still there, they dare not be so arrogant, and the Zhao family is up to me to decide, Xiang'er and Xuanlong. They should not be able to make any trouble."
"But why do we have to let several families become one? Is the current situation not good? It's good weather and everything is fine. Everyone is busy with their own business. To put it bluntly, that's the expectation of our ancestors, not something that cannot be changed. Just as you have always advised me not to be obsessed with dealing with the Li Di in Hefei, your intention to become one is too paranoid? Now I have given up pursuing some past things. Can you also stand on the standpoint of an outsider? Look at this whole thing? Long Da, I hope you can support it.
If you stick to my approach, you still have to preside over the overall situation of the Zhao family, rather than reducing the power of Zhao Xiangjie Xuanlong Brother to the point where they have almost no achievements... What I hope to see is that our families will pass through this stage smoothly. Three years are enough to make everything smoothly. At that time, if I really have the ability you think to command the overall situation, and most of the people in the family are willing to preside over the overall situation, even if there are a few oppositions, they will really have no choice but to adapt to the situation.
But if I am not as capable as you think, what's wrong with you, or if Wu Feng comes to take charge of this situation?"
After hearing what I said, Long Da was stunned.
What I said is impeccable, and every sentence is true. Just like our country's attitude towards Hong Kong and Macau, one country, two systems, achieving a smooth transition and stability is the top priority. For a few of us who do not have much intention to compete for power, this is the best result.
After a long time, Long Da suddenly picked up the cup at his hand and signaled to us in vain, "What Shi Lei said makes sense. Three years is enough, and no one knows what the situation will be like at that time. And if our family can be united and be in harmony, there will be no difference between who will sit in this position... Well, I agree, we will toast!"
I laughed, and Fang Dafu finally laughed. He raised his cup and the cups of the three of us clinked together.
"In addition, Long Da, I hope you will return the original businesses of Sister Xiang and Brother Xuan Long to them. I don't want them to be hostile to me from the beginning. This will affect their judgment of the entire family."
Long Da nodded and sighed, "It seems that I am really old, and I am not as thoughtful as Shi Lei has done."
"No, it's because we are in a different position. If I change my position, I'm afraid I will think about returning the business I have to the Wu family earlier, and if you are in my position, I will make such a judgment. In fact, we do the same thing, I hope this big family will be good!"
Fang Dafu smiled and said, "Okay, I admit that you two are better able to flatter each other and become two saints. I can only worship you.
Long Da and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Okay, I will return Xiang'er and Xuanlong's previous responsible aspects to them, but I will tell them at the same time that this is what you, Shi Lei, helped them. I just hope that my brother and sister understand your efforts."
"Long Da, if you continue to praise me, I will really be gloomy. You are not a flatterer, right?"
Long Da smiled at me and said nothing.
"It seems that Shi Lei, you have made a lot of preparations. With the matter of Feifei, the little girl, you have eased your relationship with the Bai family, especially with Master Bai, and you have received Wu Feng's support so quickly. To be honest, I really believe that in three years, they will convince you to continue to control everything in this family..." Fang Dafu seemed to be making a closing statement, pouring some wine into our cups.
"So, next step. What do you want to do first?" Finally, Long Da asked me.
I smiled. "Of course I held the wedding with Wang Qian. Is there anything more important than this?"
These words obviously also surprised Long Dai and Fang Dafu a little, "Oh? Is the day done?"
I shook my head. "Not yet. The Thirteenth Young Master said he wanted to do it with us. If we want it, just keep a low profile. Just be nice if my dearest relatives and friends are here. Otherwise, I will hold a wedding with him. I guess I may not be able to sit down if I can do it. As for the days, I have to have time to go to Jiangxi. You must know that Mr. Wang lives in Lushan with my parents!"
"Haha, this is true. You got married with the Thirteenth Young Master and held a wedding together. If this news spread, leaders from all walks of life alone would probably be one or two hundred tables. In addition to merchants from all over the world, the scene would probably be able to apply for Guinness."
I shrugged helplessly and spread my hands, "So. We meant to hold a buffet and just notify the dearest person. After the wedding, you are still eating and playing, and the four of us may be waiting for the plane at the airport and then disappearing..."
Both Long Dai and Fang Dafu agreed with our method, so they raised their cups together, "Okay, I wish you a happy wedding!"
I smiled, "Why do these words sound like I got married today?"
"Shi Lei, you will encounter a problem when you get married." Fang Dafu said suddenly.
I was stunned, the problem? But I soon understood that Fang Dafu must have said that I had a relationship with him.
Wang Qian is Fang Dafu's goddaughter, and Fang Dafu and I are brothers. Once I get married to Wang Qian, my relationship with him will become more complicated.
So I smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can only aggrieved Senior Brother Fang to lose a goddaughter and ask me to follow Wang Qian to call you godfather. I don't care, but my father probably won't agree!"
Fang Dafu was also stunned, and then laughed, "Okay, it seems that he can only let that little girl Wang Qian take advantage of it."
Seeing this, Long Da couldn't help but interrupt, "That's right, I've always been unfair about this. Xi's girl has always been a brother and sister with me, but she is your goddaughter. I have always felt that she was a loss, she was a generation younger than you out of thin air. Now Shi Lei has helped me solve this problem. Very good, very good!"
The three of us naturally burst into laughter again.
Later, I went to find Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu was lying leisurely in the garden at home. The old housekeeper watered the flowers and plants in the garden. When he saw me coming in, he sat up straight with a smile.
"I heard from Feng'er that you have decided to take office."
I smiled and nodded, and stood in front of Mr. Wu very modestly, "Thank you Mr. Wu for your teachings on the golf course before. Shi Lei has figured it out. I should focus on the front, not the things behind me."
Mr. Wu smiled generously, "Haha, I'm quite interested in how you convinced my eldest son. It seems that he had some complaints about you as the heir before. Although he didn't say it, I also saw it. I can't say that he was opposing it, at least it was very negative..."
I smiled mysteriously, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Wu. How did Brother Wu agree to me and I have to keep it a secret from Mr. Wu. This is the matter of our generation, so don't worry too much. In short, besides you, I have already received the two strongest support in our generation and will not disappoint the expectations of my uncles. In addition, my relationship with the Bai family has also eased a lot. At least in the short term, Mr. Bai should not target us."
Mr. Wu raised his eyebrows in surprise and stood up, "It seems that you are here to find me when everything is ready!"
I nodded, "The reason why I didn't dare to agree to my uncles directly before was because I was worried that I wouldn't do it well. Now that I finally eliminated all the possible problems, Shi Lei felt a little relieved. Only then did he dare to do it according to the words of his uncles."
"Okay. It seems that you young people have reached a consensus. We old guys can really retreat to the second line with confidence. I don't care about how you agreed on it. In short, the wishes of the older generation have been completed by our hands. Now we are relieved. By the way, should you consider the marriage between you and Ai Qian?"
I smiled faintly, "When the matter in Shanghai is over, I will go and get my marriage certificate with Wang Qian first, and then discuss with Mr. Wang, and set a time to hold the wedding!"
Mr. Wu stroked his palm and said, "Very good. Your father-in-law can finally feel completely relieved. At that time, you must have a banquet, don't worry about manpower and material resources. We have to marry and do it according to the greatest pomp."
"We are going to disappoint Mr. Wu again. We plan to hold a wedding with Zhu Shican. We hope to be more low-key, so we won't have a big fuss. We simply have a meal with our family, even if we go through a process. We are thinking about traveling and getting married!" Afterwards, I briefly explained the reason. In fact, it's not to mention Mr. Wu, I understand that the reason I want to say is just to make more comfort in the elderly.
Mr. Wu himself is very open. He also understands that there are indeed many disadvantages in the big show, so he said readily, "Okay, this is your own business. You are basically our boss now, you can decide for yourself!"
After chatting with Mr. Wu for a while, I booked the time for several families to announce their meetings, so I said goodbye and left.
Mr. Wu meant to ask Mr. Wang and my parents to attend my "crowning" ceremony, but I refused. The reason was that the family had always been relatively low-key. At this time, it seemed inappropriate to make a big fuss, and Mr. Wu finally adopted my opinion.
All arrangements were done, I was careless, and the only thing left was Zheng Chenghuan. I believe that Bai Mo and Bai Da Shao would basically start to deal with the issue of Feifei's status.
I was a little curious about what Bai Mo wanted to do, but since Bai Mo said so confidently, I wouldn't care much, so as not to cause trouble due to the participation of me, an outsider. I just hope that they could give Feifei a title as soon as possible, which would be an explanation for Mr. Bai and Feifei's dead mother. It seems that I don't need to worry too much.
After two days, as agreed upon by Mr. Wu and Mr. Lei also arrived in Shanghai, I thought that even the matter in Shanghai would come to an end.
However, just as I was waiting for the end of the matter, I received a reasonable but somewhat unexpected call on my phone.
"Shi Lei, why didn't I notify me when I came to Shanghai? If I hadn't been well-informed, I wouldn't know that you had been in Shanghai for a few days. What? I forgot my old brother? I want to thank you very well!" The voice on the phone seemed very proud. It seemed that he had been doing well during this period.
I sneered in my heart, thinking that you really have to thank me well, otherwise how can you get on the right track?
I don’t need to explain in detail. I believe everyone knows that the call is the current leader of the Zheng family, Zheng Chenghuan!
But I naturally would not show my dissatisfaction on the phone, so I still smiled and dealt with Zheng Chenghuan, "No, there are too many things in this family, and I have to prepare to confirm the wedding with Wang Qian. I have been busy and have no time, so I didn't bother Brother Zheng."
"Oh?" Zheng Chenghuan's voice was a bit strange, "So you are planning to get married? Haha, double happiness is coming, you must celebrate well. Why not do this? Since you have arrived in Shanghai, let me be an enemy and let's have a meal together?"
Of course I want to meet Zheng Chenghuan. I want to see what he wants to know from me after seeing me.
"Haha, marriage is a joy, I just don't know what Brother Zheng said about the double happiness?"
Chapter completed!
