The luxury villa was deserted, and Xue Yu sat in the center of the sofa, looking at the two floor tiles in front of the sofa in a daze.

The floor tiles in the hall are a simple brown, but the two floor tiles are white, and they are particularly dazzling against the surrounding colors.

Those two floor tiles used to be where Xue Meng and Xue Liang knelt, and after more than ten or twenty years, their knees were ground into light white.

Xue Yu looked at it in a daze, as if he saw Xue Liang who was naughty when he was a child, Xue Liang who was in the rebellious period, and Xue Liang who was an adult. However, I will never see Xue Liang in the future.

Xue Zheng sat down, like in a dream. In less than half a year, he has become the chief financial officer of the Xue Group from a financial manager, and now he has become the heir of the Xue family. As a disciple of the Xue family, he never dreamed that there would be such a day.

What I also didn't expect was that in the past six months, the Xue family has changed repeatedly. First, Xue Li was kicked out of the Xue family's inner circle, and then Xue Liang died, and now Xue Meng has become a wanted criminal again. The unbreakable Xue family is already showing signs of wavering.

He looked at Xue Yu quietly, this distant cousin who could only look up from afar, is now full of gray hair, and his still majestic face can't hide the sadness and vicissitudes.

Xue Zheng followed Xue Yu's gaze and looked at the two white floor tiles, he didn't grow up here, so naturally he didn't know what those two white floor tiles represented.

What he is most worried about now is that Xue Yu can't withstand the blow and falls, Xue Li leaves the Xue Group, Xue Liang is dead, and Xue Meng has become a fugitive again, if Xue Yu falls at this time, with his qualifications and prestige, he may not be able to control the Xue family. When the time comes, not to mention the surrounding wolves peeping, even the Xue family is likely to fall apart.

Xue Zheng took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to break the silence in the villa.

"Chairman,,".

"Call the second uncle". Xue Yu finally moved his gaze from the two floor tiles to Xue Zheng.

Xue Yu's eyes were very gentle, and his voice was also very gentle, this was the first time Xue Zheng had seen him like this, and he couldn't react for a while. After being stunned for two seconds, he said respectfully: "Second uncle, you have to take care of your body."

Xue Yu smiled, looking a little kind.

"Don't worry, I can't die". After a pause, "At least I won't die until you sit in the chairman's position."

Xue Zheng's head buzzed, and he couldn't believe his ears.

"Second Uncle 、、、".

Xue Yu muttered: "Xue Ping is greedy for money and lustful, Xue Dong is naïve and ignorant, Xue Cheng is brave and ruthless, and only you can take on the big responsibility in the entire Xue family."

"Second uncle, you are only sixty years old, and you can still be in charge of the Xue family for twenty years." Xue Zheng hurriedly said in a panic.

Xue Yu looked at Xue Zheng lightly and said, "Xue Zheng, don't be separated from the second uncle." I'm telling you about the Xue family's hundred-year plan now."

Xue Zheng's body trembled slightly, gritted his teeth and bowed his head and said: "Second Uncle doesn't dislike me, I am a collateral family other than three generations, and I, Xue Zheng, am willing to live and die with the Xue family."

Xue Yu smiled with satisfaction, "This is the bearing that my Xue family's children should have."

Xue Zheng raised his head and said with a straight face: "Second uncle, the family has undergone great changes repeatedly, the prestige of the Xue family has been greatly damaged, and the market has also declined. Coupled with the exaggeration of public opinion media, the stock prices of listed companies under the family have fallen. Individual major shareholders began to try their best to cash out and short in disguise, their industrial orders plummeted, and even a few long-term cooperative companies would rather pay liquidated damages than tear up contracts."

"And 、、、". Xue Zheng wanted to speak and stopped.

"What else?" Xue Yu's kind face once again returned to its previous majesty.

Xue Zheng thought for a while and said, "The second uncle has been recuperating at home for half a month, and the children of the Xue family have begun to form gangs. Xue Cheng signed a cooperation agreement with Jinmao Group at a price 30 percent above the market price, and Xue Ping invested in an Internet of Things company at a discount from his shares, as well as 、、、、".

Xue Yu smashed a Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain to the ground.

"A bunch of losers"! Xue Yu trembled with anger.

"Second uncle"? Xue Zheng shouted worriedly, the reason why he dared to tell Xue Yu these things now was because he was afraid that if he got angry, Xue Zheng alone would not be able to suppress it at all.

Xue Yu gasped, and after two or three minutes, he said slowly: "I'm fine, tell me what countermeasures you have."

Xue Zheng nodded and said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to eliminate the market's panic about the Xue family, and there must be Lu Shanmin's people behind the media and public opinion." We want to bribe the media to guide public opinion and portray Lu Shanmin as a devil who destroys Jiangzhou's economy and plots against the Xue family's foundation. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Yu and saw that his face gradually returned to normal, and then said, "I suggest a statement to completely draw a line with Xue Meng."

Xue Zheng stopped and looked at Xue Yu again.

Xue Yu's face only changed slightly, and he said lightly: "Continue."

"For those who try to break away from the Xue family's circle of interests, take the initiative to sweep them out, so as to tell them that it doesn't matter if the Xue family has them or not, and it also proves to the outside world that our Xue family is still strong."

"The Xue family plays a pivotal role in Jiangzhou's economy, and the second uncle should take the initiative to ask the municipal government for help."

"These are not enough", Xue Zhengzheng said: "In addition, we also need to make a big move to prove to the city government that the Xue family has an irreplaceable status, and at the same time to prove to the market that the Xue family is still the most powerful family in Jiangzhou."

Seeing that Xue Yu did not speak, Xue Zheng continued: "The land on the north bank of the Minjiang River, which is close to the municipal party committee and municipal government, is the largest development project in recent years, and we must get most of the land in order to deter the outside world, and at the same time inspire people inside."

"What about the inside?" Xue Yu stared at Xue Zheng in a daze, his eyes deep.

Xue Zheng thought for a moment and said, "At this moment, the Xue family is worried about internal and external troubles, and it should focus on unity. For those who dig into the corners of their own houses, they should first talk to them privately, do their best to do ideological work, and as long as they realize their mistakes, they can not be blamed for the past."

"Ci is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not in charge of wealth, don't you understand such a simple truth?" Xue Yu's tone was filled with deep dissatisfaction.

Xue Zheng hurriedly lowered his head, "Second uncle, I'm afraid that the punishment will be too strong and will exacerbate the internal contradictions."

Xue Yu snorted coldly, "Before I die, they dare to ride on your head to and pee, if I die, then I will not have to eat you alive."

Xue Zheng was sweating profusely and bowed his head silently.

Xue Yu said coldly: "Remember, as long as you take a step back, they will press forward step by step, step by step, step by step." As the head of the family, you are the heavens and you are the earth. "Tomorrow, I will send a letter to Jinmao Group and the company that broke the Internet of Things, saying that without you, Xue Zheng's signed contract is a piece of waste paper."

After a pause, "I'll go to the company with you tomorrow and drive Xue Ping and Xue Cheng out of Xue's house."

Xue Zheng was stunned for a moment, "Second uncle, they are your own nephews."

Xue Yu said coldly: "There are also those shareholders who use fake divorce to break down shares and cash out." "Hmph, relying on the Xue family's big tree to earn a lot of money, seeing that the situation is not right is like running away, how can it be so easy."

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Zheng, who was a little dazed, and said, "Do you know why the ancient imperial court allowed officials to embezzle?"

Xue Zheng said lightly: "Because the rulers have to pinch their handles, they are obedient."

Xue Yu said coldly: "Those shareholders, greedy for money and lustful, there are many people who commit drug crimes, even if they are clean and self-conscious, I have set up a trap for them over the years." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xue Zheng, "I know what to do."

Xue Zheng suddenly realized, "I understand, those shareholders who use fake divorce to break down shares and short them will make them real divorces."

Xue Yu said coldly: "It's not enough to really divorce, you have to make them ruined." If you don't kill chickens and monkeys, others don't know how to be afraid."

"I know the second uncle".

Xue Yu let out a breath, looking a little tired, "You go get busy."

After Xue Zheng left, Xue Yu said lightly: "Xiang Ye, do you think Xue Zheng can afford this burden?"

Xiang Wentian slowly walked out from behind the screen and sat on the sofa next to him.

"Master Xue, the most important thing now is that you take care of your body."

Xue Yu sighed, "There are many children in the Xue family, and there are not many who are really angry. Over the years, he has been busy with work and neglected to cultivate the children of the family. Fortunately, there is still a Xue Zheng who can barely hold the situation."

"Ahem", Xiang Wentian covered his mouth and coughed twice, he was seriously injured in the last battle with Daoyi, and now his face is still very pale.

"Master Xue, only you can really hold up to this situation."

Xue Yu said lightly: "Don't worry, I've just been exhausted recently, and I'll be fine in two days."

said and looked at Xiang Wentian, "It's you, at such an age, you still have injuries on your body, and you are still running around for the Xue family, you have worked hard."

Xiang Wentian's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his head in shame. "Master Xue, I didn't protect Xue Liang well."

Xue Yu shook his head, "I don't blame you, no one thought that the Nalan family would be treacherous."

He coughed violently.

Xiang Wentian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and shouted anxiously: "Xue Ye"!

Xue Yu held Xiang Wentian's hand tightly, "Xiang Ye, I beg you something."

"Xue Ye"! Xiang Wentian's hands trembled.

"When this turmoil passes, continue to protect the Xue family for me, and Xue Zheng will want to treat me the same in the future."

"Xue Ye, you have just been overly sad recently, and you will get better."

Xue Yu shook his head, "You misunderstood, my body will definitely be fine if I live for a few more years."

Xiang Wentian was shocked, "Xue Ye, are you trying to 、、、?"

Xue Yu smiled, "Don't worry, things haven't come to that point yet."

said lightly: "Go, Xue Li, call in."

............

...........

Xue Li stood outside the villa, and since he had a stalemate with Xue Yu, he had moved out of this villa. He didn't know what Xue Yu had suddenly called him for. Thinking of the recent changes in the Xue family, my heart is like ashes.

Seeing Xiang Wentian coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. "Xiang Ye, the second brother's health is okay"?

Xiang Wentian said lightly: "Xue Ye asked you to go in."

Xue Li didn't ask again, raised his feet and walked inside, the once lively villa was now very desolate.

When he saw Xue Yu's white hair, he was even more distressed.

"Second brother, the deceased has passed away, the living still have to live, the Xue family can't live without you."

Xue Yu looked at Xue Li lightly and said, "Is there any hope for making peace with Lu Shanmin now?"

"What"? Xue Li was shocked, "Second Brother"?

"You answer me honestly, is there any hope"?

Xue Li was stunned for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the matter is now, I'm afraid it's impossible."

Xue Yu sighed, "The resentment is accumulating deeper and deeper, even if he can let go of the grudge, he will not believe in our sincerity."

Xue Li thought it was true, so far, Lu Shanmin has harmed the Xue family so badly, and he also killed Xue Liang, even if the Xue family is willing to ignore the past suspicions, will Lu Shanmin believe it, no one will believe it, not to mention that Lu Shanmin is not a good man and a woman.

Xue Yu said: "Xue Zheng suggested that the development of the land on the north bank of the Min River be used to revive the prestige of the Xue family, what do you think"?

Xue Li frowned, "His suggestion is very good, but Lu Shanmin won't let us succeed easily."

Xue Yu nodded, "Yes, but now the Xue family is worried about internal and external troubles, and if you don't make some big moves, sooner or later it will be slowly eaten away from the inside and outside."

Xue Li said: "As long as the second brother is here, he can stabilize the situation."

Xue Yu shook his head, "Will Lu Shanmin let us stabilize the situation with peace of mind, and look at what he has done in Jiangzhou in the past two years."

Xue Li nodded helplessly, "This battle is to force us to fight a decisive battle."

Xue Yu said: "So this battle must be fought." After a pause, "If this victory is over, the Xue family is still the richest man in Jiangzhou, and no one can shake it, then we will have the capital to negotiate with Lu Shanmin."

Xue Li was surprised: "Second brother, Xue Liang's hatred"?

Xue Yu said lightly: "What if you take revenge?

Xue Li was a little excited, and said, "What if this battle is defeated"?

"Defeated". Xue Yu repeated two words.

After a while, Xue Yu looked at Xue Li in a daze, "If you lose, you will take my head to find Lu Shanmin, this should be considered sincere."

"Second brother, 、、、!" Xue Li couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Xue Yu patted the sofa beside him, "Third child, come and sit."

Xue Li wiped his tears and sat down next to Xue Yu.

Xue Yu took a sip of water and said solemnly: "Third child, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Second brother, you say".

"You've been in charge of the family's finances for so many years, have you noticed anything strange?"

Xue Li was stunned for a moment, and the doubts in his heart suddenly sprung up, he was in charge of the Xue family's finances, and he knew every contract. On more than one occasion, he had noticed that some contracts were very subtle, and he had doubts about the flow of some funds, but these were within the normal range, not too obvious, so he did not pay much attention to them.

Xue Yu said slowly: "More than thirty years ago, Lu Chenlong killed his father, and also robbed a lot of business that originally belonged to the Xue family, making the Xue family's reputation discredited in Jiangzhou. You know my character, I vowed to defeat Lu Chenlong, but Lu Chenlong is too powerful, I can't do anything about him. At this time, a person appeared, and he told me that as long as I was willing to cooperate with him, he would not only be able to help me defeat Lu Chenlong, but also let the Xue family stand at the peak of Jiangzhou. In fact, I didn't believe his words too much at the time, but I hated Lu Chenlong too much, so I cooperated with him with the attitude of giving it a try. ”

"This person didn't lie to me, he really has great powers, with his help, I successfully won several big foreign trade contracts, the Xue family gradually became stronger, and then Lu Chenlong died, the Chenlong Group had no leader, I took advantage of the situation to annex the Chenlong Group's industry in Jiangzhou through various channels, and the Xue family officially became the richest man in Jiangzhou."

Xue Li was shocked again, and asked tremblingly, "That person killed Lu Chenlong."

Xue Yu nodded, "It should be said that it is that organization, he is far from being able to do those things alone."

Xue Li's head went blank, "Who are those people?"

Xue Yu shook his head, "I don't know either."

Xue Li asked, "In return, we will transfer benefits to that organization in the form of commerce"?

Xue Yu nodded, "Yes, we are equivalent to their agents, they provide us with all kinds of conveniences, and then we will transfer a part of the benefits to them."

Cold sweat gradually appeared on Xue Li's forehead: "Those contracts, those funds flow, you haven't checked who they are."

Xue Yu shook his head and said: "I can't find it, there are too many turnover in the middle, and the people who sign contracts or flow funds with us are not those people, and even the part of people who have business dealings with us may not know that they are being used by others, and what is likely to be found if we continue to investigate is only shell companies."

said and paused, "And I don't dare to investigate, I can kill Lu Chenlong, and I can easily push the Xue family to the richest man in Jiangzhou, how much energy is there." It was only later that I learned that the first agent they were looking for was Lu Chenlong and not me, Lu Chenlong not only rejected them, but also held on to find out. I believe that it was precisely because Lu Chenlong found out something that those who had never acted easily had to jump over the wall and kill Lu Chenlong in a hurry."

Xue Li wiped a cold sweat, "Those people are also around us"?

"Yes, they look at us like shadows, sometimes helping us, sometimes sucking blood."

"So will they help us this time"?

Xue Yu shook his head, "What they do is in a very secret place in the dark, maybe they can help the Xue family's current situation, but they won't help, because then they will be easily exposed." They are interested in interests, without our Xue family, they can find other agents, and I believe that their agents are not only our Xue family. ”

After a pause, "Back then, the Chenlong Group's industry in Jiangzhou was divided by us, and the industry in Tianjing and Northeast China was divided between the Nalan family and the Jin family. The Jin family disappeared more than ten years ago, and I suspect that the Nalan family is also one of their agents."

"What about that person, the person who contacted you in the first place"?

Xue Yu said lightly: "That person is not important." said solemnly: "You must not have the intention of finding out them, Lu Chenlong is a lesson from the past, and Haizhongtian in the East China Sea is very likely to die because of this."

"Then why tell me this"?

Xue Yu said lightly: "Because after I am gone, that person will definitely find you, you have held the financial power of the Xue family for so many years, they will not rest assured of your existence." When they find you, you'll be prepared."

After a pause, "Lu Shanmin should have also sensed something, his purpose in Jiangzhou may not be as simple as targeting our Xue family." You can tell him when you have the opportunity in the future".

Xue Li looked at Xue Yu in a daze, "You want to lure Lu Shanmin to track them down"?

Xue Yu said lightly: "In order to keep the Xue family and avenge Xue Liang, this is all I can do."
