Chapter Eighty-Six: Abdicate to Make Way for Xian
In an afternoon and an evening, Wu Zhengmin took Li Tianlan to meet many people.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very large, but in the past many years, the power structure has been extremely simple, especially in the many years of the collapse of the Li family, no matter how insistent Wu Zhengmin is, at least from the overall situation, he is also the backbone of the Southeast Group.
After the end of the Youzhou meeting, Wu Zhengmin, who entered the cabinet, officially broke away from the Southeast Group and rejoined Li Honghe, and the team he has cultivated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years, he is naturally not willing to let go, and he will definitely do his best to leave these teams to the Li family.
Wu Zhengmin is very upright, his vision is vicious, more than 20 years, he has created a team in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there is absolutely no lack of talent, in his own words, it is an old guy who is destined to be active for a long time, how about an old guy who is destined to be active for a long time, not many people care at all, but these people who have been promoted by him over the years are the real wealth.
It is precisely because of this that today's meeting is possible.
Wu Zhengmin, who is deeply rooted in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zou Yuanshan, the first of the young generation of the wealthy group to reach a high position, and Li Tianlan, the heir of the Li family.
The three of them stood together, the relationship was delicate and meaningful, and the powerful figures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who saw the three of them were also complicated, and most of the time passed, Li Tianlan himself didn't know how many people he had seen, but he clearly remembered their attitudes.
Thirteen directors of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in addition to Zou Yuanshan himself and Wang Jingxin, and Su Xinghe, who has not yet arrived in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, six directors have clearly expressed their support for Zou Yuanshan's attitude, and two have expressed a certain degree of supportγ
Li Tianlan had dinner in the No. 2 building of the council compound, and then drove back to the villa area by the West Lake.
Qin Weibai's two villas were still lit up, but Ran Huo and Qin Weibai had already left, and when Wu Zhengmin took him to visit a senior deputy governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the afternoon, Qin Weibai sent him a text message, which was simple, only three words.
"I'm leaving. β
Li Tianlan didn't reply at the time, and at this time he took out his mobile phone again and took a look, and suddenly felt a sense of melancholy.
In the living room, Li Honghe was drinking tea.
Lin Fengting, who had not seen the end of the dragon in recent days, sat in front of Li Honghe, smiling and talking about some interesting things within the Lin clan, Li Tianlan's heart was empty, with some loss that he couldn't even detect.
"It's back. β
Li Honghe glanced at him, his eyes gentle: "How is today?"
"It's fine. β
Li Tianlan sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea: "After Wu Lao leaves, the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not change much, it is unlikely to get better, but it will not get worse." β
"The real winner is outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after three years. β
Lin Fengting smiled and pointed out the current situation pointedly.
He doesn't ask about the world, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool, since he decided to help the Li family, then he must pay attention to the current form of Zhongzhou, for the current situation, Lin Fengting can be said to be insightful.
"Three years later, the big change, how strong the Li family can be, directly determines the situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At present, it is the bottom line to let Zou Yuanshan take advantage of the situation and serve as the leader of Jiangsu and Zhejiang three years later, and if this goal is not achieved, the Li family is in danger. If he is forced to leave Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after Wu Zhengmin retires, all the forces he has cultivated over the years will fall to the Beihai Wang clan without any suspense, at that time, the Li family has nothing, not to mention, Zou Yuanshan, who is betting on his political future, will also completely lose the qualification to compete with Wang Jingxin, and the wealthy group will also rebound because of Zou Yuanshan's loss, and the three pillars of the wealthy family will be forced by the pressure within the group, and their support for the Li family will also be reduced a lot, at that time..."
Lin Fengting did not continue, but glanced at Li Honghe intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Honghe drank tea with a calm expression.
Three years later, there was a big change, Wu Zhengmin retired steadily, and Li Honghe's body may not be able to support it, if Zou Yuanshan is defeating Maicheng, the Li family at that time is the real end of the road.
On the contrary, if Zou Yuanshan takes advantage of the situation and absorbs the team left by Wu Zhengmin, no matter how bad the Li family is, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang as the foundation, at least there will be a chance to breathe.
The wealthy group will definitely support Zou Yuanshan.
And the South-East bloc will certainly try its best to oppose it.
Kunlun City's position is not difficult to guess.
I am afraid that it will be difficult for the loose wealthy group to withstand the joint efforts of the Southeast Group and the Special Warfare Group at that time.
As for the academic school, there are more important goals in three years, and it is bound that they will not be given much support.
Therefore, the key to how far Li Tianlan has developed in the past three years and how much support he can give Zou Yuanshan at that time has become the key.
"I've seen it in the distant mountains, with him and Zhengmin here, there is not much problem in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now that this matter is over for the time being, when are you leaving?"
Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan and asked.
"Now. β
Li Tianlan said that the turmoil in Lin'an has settled, and there will not be too many ups and downs in two or three years, and it makes no sense for him to stay here.
"It's fine. β
Li Honghe nodded, glanced at the door of the villa out of the corner of his eye, and showed a smile.
A light figure walked into the hall, wearing a red dress, looking coquettish as fire, but her temperament was as clear as water, she blinked her eyes and looked at Li Tianlan, and said in a crisp tone: "You're back." β
The same is true of the East Side.
Li Tianlan was a little stunned, and nodded subconsciously: "Why are you here?"
"Came with my sister. β
Dongcheng said softly, sat down beside Li Tianlan obediently, and reached out to hold one of his hands.
Li Honghe looked at this scene, his eyes were warm, and his smile was hearty: "Fengting, do you think these two children are very compatible? When the final exercise is over, I will personally go to the Central Plains to set their wedding date as soon as possible." β
Li Tianlan frowned.
Li Honghe didn't seem to notice this, looked at Dongcheng with a smile, and said with a smile: "Girl, what do you think of your marriage contract with Tianlan?"
"No, I don't. β
Dongcheng shook his head and glanced at Li Tianlan: "I listen to Tianlan." β
Li Honghe burst out laughing, unabashedly detaching his pleasure.
"There's no rush in the wedding period, let's talk about it after a few years. β
Li Tianlan opened his mouth, his tone was neither salty nor light.
"No matter how busy you are, can you still be so busy that you don't even have time to get married?"
Li Honghe's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he was a little displeased.
"Look again. β
Li Tianlan's tone was short, suppressing the emotions in his heart.
Dongcheng looked at Li Tianlan in a daze, and after a long time, he lowered his head silently, but he just held Li Tianlan's hand but did not let go.
"You go pack up your things first, and we'll go to Huating in a moment. β
Li Tianlan took a deep breath and clenched Dongcheng's slightly cool palm.
Dongcheng nodded, stood up and walked out.
Packing things is an excuse in itself.
Whether it is her or Li Tianlan, there is nothing to clean up.
Dongcheng walked out of the villa and sat at the marble table in the courtyard, holding his cheeks with both hands, silently in a daze.
In the villa, Li Honghe looked at Li Tianlan with a gloomy face.
Li Tianlan drank tea quietly.
"The marriage contract was decided many years ago, and there was no need to discuss it. β
After a long time, Li Honghe seemed to calm down his anger and said word by word.
"I didn't disagree. β
Li Tianlan said calmly: "I'm just waiting." β
"What are you waiting for?!"
Li Honghe's tone was a little cold: "Wait for me to die?"
Li Tianlan frowned, as if he was a little irritable, he lit a cigarette and took a big puff.
"Because Qin Weibai?"
Li Honghe softened his tone and asked.
"Yes. β
Li Tianlan was blunt.
"Do you know her? Or do you know who she is?"
Li Honghe asked in a deep voice: "I don't deny that she has helped you a lot at this stage, but can you be sure that in the end, her help is a good thing for you?"
Li Tianlan raised his head.
His eyes were bright and sharp, like the light of a sword after being unsheathed.
"You don't believe her?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"I believe it. β
Li Honghe said calmly: "But I can't find the basis for trust. You, me, the Beihai Wang Clan, in the entire dark world, no one understands the Reincarnation Palace, and no one understands Qin Weibai. When Qin Weibai first appeared in Huating, the six major groups had all investigated her through their own intelligence channels, and they only knew that she was from a small mountain village in the southwest, but after all these years, the six major groups did their best, not to mention that they couldn't find that small mountain village, and even her parents couldn't find the slightest clue, there was no clue at all, do you understand?"
She looked at her grandson's raised eyebrows and sighed softly: "I can trust Qin Weibai, but I would rather cooperate with the Dongcheng family, after all, they are the ones who know the roots, and when it comes to Zhongzhou, don't say that the Reincarnation Palace is not in Zhongzhou, even if they are here, they can give you help, not as good as the Dongcheng family." Marrying such a person is the best for you and for the Li family. β
"Not the best for me. β
Li Tianlan looked at Li Honghe with burning eyes: "I really don't know her past, but I believe in her feelings for me." For me, that's the foundation of all trust. β
"Feelings?"
Li Honghe sneered: "How did these feelings come from, do you know?"
Li Tianlan was stunned and speechless.
"What is Qin Weibai's identity? What is your identity? Now you do have feelings, but how did the feelings come about? This kind of inexplicable relationship can also be regarded as the basis of trust? Why is she so good to you? Do you understand?"
Li Honghe asked.
He took a deep look at his grandson, whose face was uncertain, and said calmly: "Behind the inexplicable affection, there must be a debt." This kind of debt may be the past, or it may be the future, she may know that she is destined to owe you something in the future, so she will compensate you some now, such feelings, I believe. But I can't believe it. β
As he spoke, the muscles in the corners of his mouth twitched, and a flash of pain and anger flashed in his eyes.
The corners of Lin Fengting's mouth twitched as well.
"I'm leaving, going to Huating. β
Li Tianlan stood up and walked out of the living room without looking back.
It is clear that he is not going to say anything more on this issue.
Li Honghe stood up suddenly, as if trying to make Li Tianlan stand still.
Lin Fengting smiled bitterly and waved his hand, interrupting Li Honghe's anger and letting Li Tianlan leave.
"Elder Li, I know what you're worried about. β
Lin Fengting said helplessly: "But what you are worried about is not very likely." Qin Weibai really owes Tianlan, but she is making up for it now, not harming him. β
"Not now. β
Li Honghe sat down: "But in the decisive battle of the Snow Country, she responded to the catastrophe for Tianlan, if she didn't die, what would happen in the future?"
Lin Fengting's eyes were complicated.
He really knew what Li Honghe was worried about.
But he also knew Qin Weibai.
It's really understanding.
At the beginning in Australia, he promised to lend Qin Weibai a sword on the condition that he wanted to meet the reincarnation palace master.
What everyone didn't know was that he did see the reincarnation palace master, just in the past few days, in Lin'an.
When he saw the reincarnation palace master, he knew the origin of the reincarnation palace, Qin Weibai, her debts, and the cause and effect that Lin Xu said that day.
"Elder Li, after the decisive battle in the Snow Country, the Reincarnation Palace is doomed. β
Lin Fengting said softly.
"But the Reincarnation Palace and Qin Weibai are two different things. I can't see through her life. β
Li Honghe said in a deep voice: "She has the appearance of troubled times, if she doesn't die, in the future..."
Lin Fengting directly interrupted his words and said softly: "If she doesn't die, I am willing to abdicate and let her control the Lin clan for twenty years on my behalf." β
