In the old house of the Nalan family in Shenyang, Nalan Wenruo held a hoe, bent his body, and carefully hoeed the weeds in the field.

Nalan Zhenshan rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, "Father, I'll help you."

Nalan Wenruo held his waist and waved his hand, "You haven't done farm work for more than ten years, I'm worried that you will hoe my wheat seedlings as weeds."

"Father, I don't have a grain like Ziyingzijian and them, although I have been a little rusty over the years, but what you taught me is still firmly in my heart."

Nalan Wenruo waved his hand, "Just stand there, you don't have this blessing yet."

As he spoke, he said to himself: "Farming and reading heirlooms have been practiced for a long time, and poems and books have been elegant and long." The culture of cultivation and reading has been inherited for thousands of years, deeply engraved into Chinese culture, and is also a lingering ideal complex in the hearts of Chinese intellectuals. It's a pity that in today's impetuous society, the younger generation has lost this mind."

"Father, although the children of the Nalan family no longer know how to cultivate and farm, they are no less than my generation."

Nalan Wenruo smiled, "You think that my old man can't farm without food." It's a complex, and it's also a reminder that you can't forget your roots."

Nalan Zhenshan smiled bitterly: "I don't know when I will be able to study in the countryside as leisurely as my father."

Nalan Wenruo glanced back at him and said with a smile: "I've been irritable lately."

Nalan Zhenshan nodded, and said: "The price war in the East China Sea has caused tens of billions of losses, and the shareholders are getting more and more dissatisfied."

Nalan Wen said casually: "The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit." It's normal for them to react, as long as the Nalan family is united, they can't make waves."

"There are also a lot of strange voices in the family." Nalan Zhenshan continued.

"When the family is big, there are all kinds of people, and there are naturally many people who are short-sighted, and some people can only see one acre and three points of land in front of them forever, and don't pay attention to them."

"But the third child 、、、 him", Nalan Zhenshan did not continue.

"The third child has never done a few decent things in his life, except for giving birth to a grandson who he loves and hates, and he beat a good brand to pieces."

"Father, the third child has been getting more and more confused recently."

"What are you afraid of?" Nalan Wenruo stopped his hoe and turned to look at Nalan Zhenshan.

Nalan Zhenshan took a deep breath and said lightly: "Zijian's heart is as deep as the sea, and I don't know what his purpose is until now. I'm afraid that the third child will be taken advantage of."

Nalan Wenruo shook his head, "You're afraid you won't be able to control the situation."

Nalan Zhenshan nodded, "The transfer of power has always caused a lot of shock, I am sixty years old, how long can I sit in this position."

"Who do you think is more suitable to inherit the position of head of the Nalan family"?

Nalan Zhenshan frowned slightly, he didn't expect the old man to ask this question so directly.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Ziying's intelligence is slightly insufficient, but she is calm and atmospheric, and she thinks about her family wholeheartedly. After a pause, "Although Zijian is intellectual, he is lazy and unrestrained by nature, and his ideas are even more elusive, if he is allowed to be in charge, I am afraid there will be variables."

Nalan Wenruo sighed, "I don't know what you said."

"With you, even if Zijian is in charge, he can control the variables within a controllable range, if you go west, I am afraid that no one can restrain him."

Nalan Wenruo squinted, "No matter how perverse and rebellious Zijian is, he is always a member of the Nalan family, I believe he will not do anything that harms the Nalan family, and he is not necessarily really interested in the position of the head of the Nalan family."

"Father, but the current fact is that he is splitting the Nalan family, and the third child is moving around to attract people who support Zijian to put pressure on me and Ziying."

Nalan Wenruo smiled, "That's just Zhenhai's wishful thinking."

Nalan Zhenshan said bitterly and with a little excitement: "Father, why don't you believe in Zijian wishfully, Zijian just stirred up the hearts of the whole family with a little move, if he really has other purposes、、、、、."

The hoe in Nalan Wenruo's hand paused, "I know you don't like Zijian's temperament, and you're afraid that he will bring disaster to the family, but there are two sides to everything, and people who can bring great disasters to the Nalan family can't bring huge opportunities."

Nalan Zhenshan did not agree with Nalan Wenruo's statement, but he also knew that Zijian had been loved by the old man since he was a child, and it was useless to say more.

sighed and changed the topic and said: "Although Ziran, this kid is as calm as his eldest brother, he still dares to bear it in the face of major rights and wrongs, and this time he helped me share a lot of pressure."

Nalan Wenruo spat on his hand, rubbed his hands and continued to bend over to hoe the grass, "Zhenshan, the children of the Nalan family, as long as you are willing to contribute to the family, you should support it, this is your obligation as the head of the family." As for how to balance and adjust, that's your business. Power is not a matter of life and death from above, power is always born with responsibilities and obligations."

At this point, Nalan Zhenshan understood that it was useless to say more, and the old man was not opposed to the power struggle in the family, and he was even happy to see the battle between Ziying and Zijian.

It is precisely this attitude of the old man that fuels the arrogance of some people, which leads to the wave of people in the family who support Zijian.

He supports the cultivation of Nalan Ziying as a successor, not only because Nalan Ziying is his son, what a big family like the Nalan family needs most now is not speculation and adventure, but steady progress. In the battle of the East China Sea, if he wins, Nalan Ziying will naturally become the first heir, if he loses, Nalan Ziying's prestige will be lost, and he will never be able to meet the next head of the family. But even so, he didn't want Nalan Zijian to take the throne.

"Father, in case the East China Sea is defeated this time, I will fully support Ziran to take on the big responsibility."

If Nalan Wenruo stopped his hoe again, of course he knew that Nalan Zhenbang didn't think that he would lose, he just wanted to show his position and determination.

"Since you've thought it all through, why bother asking for my opinion."

Nalan Zhenshan frowned slightly, looked at Nalan Wenruo's back in a daze, hesitated in his heart, and still said:

"Father, I have been in charge of the family for more than ten years, diligent and conscientious, and everything has passed through my hands. In recent years, I have gradually felt an invisible force leading me by the nose. ”

Nalan Wenruo turned around and looked at Nalan Zhenshan lightly. "What do you feel"?

"When I was young, I always felt that I was capable, but after calming down and thinking about it in the past few years, some things are inexplicably too smooth, and I can't do it with my ability alone. I looked through decades of archival material in the database and found that there was more than one similar incident."

"Then what did you find?" asked Nalan Wen with a smirk.

Nalan Zhenshan shook his head, "I didn't find anything."

"That's that you're thinking too much, you've been stressed too much lately, go back and take a good rest."

"Father, what happened back then, is the eldest brother's retirement related to that incident, and what secrets are still hidden in this?" Nalan Zhenshan asked, he had never been so out of shape in front of the old man.

Nalan Wenruo turned around and continued to hoe, "Do your own thing."

.........

What happens when a proud white swan is trampled into a muddy pond by a flock of ugly ducks.

Either self-pity and self-depravity, or unyielding resistance until it flies into the sky again.

Meng Haoran obviously thought that he was the white swan, and the white swan that belonged to the latter.

Not only does he have a noble background, extraordinary talent, and outstanding looks, but he has also experienced humiliation and blows that no one has ever experienced.

He was reborn from the ashes, he became resolute, cold, and indomitable.

He learned to bow his noble head, even if some people he once disdained, even if some people were his enemies, he could still forbear, still wag his tail and beg for mercy and pretend to be a dog.

He has all the qualities and conditions that a person who should have achieved great things.

Therefore, he believed that he would definitely succeed in revenge and establish the glory of the Meng family again.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and he has been prepared for them for a long time, and opportunities will follow.

He firmly believes that if a person like him cannot succeed, it is simply intolerable.

He doesn't easily trust anyone, so instead of believing that Liu Yunshen is his nobleman, he actually believes in himself more. Because he believed that it was the qualities he possessed that attracted Liu Yunshen.

More importantly, Liu Yunshen successfully predicted the arrival of the Xue family, and he also successfully contacted the people of the Xue family according to Liu Yunshen's suggestion.

Meng Haoran called Liu Yunshen excitedly to express his gratitude.

Liu Yunshen was also happy for him, and reminded him that it was best not to let the people of the Nalan family know before finally reaching an agreement with the Xue family, lest if he did not reach an agreement with the Xue family, and the Nalan family was dissatisfied with him, the two sides would lose more than they gained.

In fact, he doesn't need Liu Yunshen to remind him that he knows this truth, so before reaching an agreement, even the relationship with Liu Yunshen can only give outsiders a relationship that is just understanding.

In addition to being excited, Meng Haoran also had a worry, his strength was too weak, and even if the Xue family wanted to find an agent, they might not necessarily look down on him. Since Liu Yunshen is the son of the president of the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Jiangzhou, and has an enmity with Lu Shanmin like the Xue family, if he can be present during the negotiation, he can also let the Xue family see that he Meng Haoran can invite Liu Yunshen, which shows that he still has a certain strength.

When he said this idea, he was still a little worried that Liu Yunshen would not agree, but to his surprise, Liu Yunshen not only agreed very happily, but also said that the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce had a relationship with the Xue family, and even the Xue family wanted to win over the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, and he would definitely be present to help him speak at that time.

However, Liu Yunshen reminded him again that the place where he met with the Xue family must be kept secret, in addition to not letting Nalan Ziying know, but also to prevent Lu Shanmin's people from making trouble.
