"I know what you're thinking right now. ”

"I advise you not to think so much, the most important thing you should think about now is how to keep your position as heir. ”

"Your fifth uncle has returned, and the next step is the battle of the true heirs. ”

"But your fifth uncle has already made an agreement with us, he will not do anything excessive to you in half a year, and he will snipe you in all directions in business after half a year, so you have to pay attention when the time comes. ”

The Great Elder looked at Zhang Feng and said unhurriedly.

He is also an old man, so he can easily guess Zhang Feng's inner thoughts, and he also knows what Zhang Feng's mood is at the moment.

When Zhang Feng heard the Great Elder's words, he laughed sadly.

At this moment, in his heart, he was still feeling unwilling for his brothers, he never thought about it...... The more than 20 heirs of the Zhang family turned out to be chess pieces one after another.

All of them were the elders who had arranged the stepping stones for him in advance.

It made him feel sorry for the heirs.

"Great Elder, I see...... Next is the battle between me and the fifth uncle, if the two of us are divided, the successor will be produced between the two of us. ”

"If it's a lose-lose situation, then the third successor you arranged will inherit the Zhang family, right?"

Zhang Feng slowed down for a while, and then he eased up a little, raised his head and looked at the Great Elder and asked.

However, the answer given by the Great Elder was, "No, no...... The third successor will not inherit the Zhang family after both of you are defeated. ”

Well?

Could he also be involved in the fight?

Zhang Feng frowned, but he guessed in his heart.

While he was guessing, the Great Elder spoke up: "Which inheritor, he doesn't know that he is the heir of the Zhang family now, and even he doesn't know what kind of existence the Zhang family is, he is just a dark move arranged by us. ”

"Maybe in the future, you will meet him and have a commercial collision, but that is all for later. ”

"In our plan, only you compete with your fifth uncle, and when you compete, the third successor, he will develop alone, and our Zhang family selects the successor, looking at the ability and potential of the successor. ”

"If his potential surpasses you and your fifth uncle, then no matter who wins or loses between the two of you, he will not be the successor of the Zhang family. ”

"Of course, there is another possibility, that is, none of the three of you are worthy of being the successors of the Zhang family, and this generation of inheritors of the Zhang family will continue to be vacant, and the Zhang family will continue to be hidden...... Wait for the next heir to appear. ”

The Great Elder said unhurriedly.

His words were very rhythmic, and the priorities were just right, so his words fell on Zhang Feng's ears, making Zhang Feng's brows furrow tightly.

His heart was also tense, and the words of the Great Elder were like a small hammer, smashing all those words on his heart.

Originally, I thought that the identity of the successor of the Zhang family was close at hand.

But now it seems that it is still an unattainable dream.

For Zhang Feng, tonight can be said to be a night that his worldview for more than 20 years has almost collapsed.

Over the years, he had felt that he was not valued by the Elder Body, but now he realized that it was not that he was not valued, but that he had always been valued.

It has always been cultivated by the Elders as the next successor.

But at the same time, he also knew that in addition to himself, he also had two powerful successors.

"I've said a bit too much tonight, these things shouldn't have been for you to know, but now that I've said it...... I don't regret it either. ”

"Then you need to calm yourself down a little bit, and then develop well, diversify. ”

"Speaking from my heart, I still look forward to you being able to become the successor of the Zhang family, and you can take on your father...... This is a responsibility that has not been shouldered. ”

The Great Elder's tone suddenly became a little low.

Zhang Feng's expression was also extremely heavy.

He raised his head and looked at the Great Elder...... After hesitating for a while, he suddenly asked out loud: "Great Elder, since you showed up today and told me what you said, then I have a question I want to ask you, and I hope you can give me the answer." ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask, my parents and my grandfather, why did they suddenly disappear, were they killed or ......"

"I don't know where they went, this is the truth, if we knew where your parents went, then we would have found your father back a long time ago, and we wouldn't have let the position of the head of the Zhang family be vacant for more than 20 years. ”

The Great Elder interrupted Zhang Feng's words and said solemnly: "Do you know that if your father sat in the position of the head of the family back then and led the development of the family, what would the Zhang family be like now?"

Zhang Feng was dumbfounded.

The Great Elder continued: "The family needs a manager, and the head of the family is a position that cannot be replaced by the elder group, and the elder group is too pedantic. ”

Pedantic?

Is this ruthless and criticizing yourself?

Zhang Feng raised his eyebrows.

The Great Elder said: "The pedantry of the elder group is also the basis for us to be selfless and manage the family well, so the elder group must be pedantic, if we are not pedantic and do not abide by the old rules, the Zhang family will not be inherited for thousands of years." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Feng and Heihuang both nodded in approval.

A big family like this can be inherited for thousands of years, and it really depends on these pedantic rules and managers.

Just imagine, when the family becomes strong, there will inevitably be internal conflicts because of interests.

In the 5,000-year history of China, there are countless things where brothers have opposing interests because of their interests...... There is no pedantic elders, no rigid rules, no iron laws that are almost impersonal.

The interior of the Zhang family has long been chaotic a few times, and the Zhang family doesn't know how many years ago it will disappear into history.

"Well, the pedantry and rigidity of the elder group is the foundation of managing a family well, but we can only manage the family well. ”

"Managing a family and leading a family development are completely different, the family has lacked managers over the years, although it is still developing at a high speed, but this development speed is less than half of what we expected. ”

"It's even a third of what we expected. ”

"So the current Zhang family needs a manager to appear, because we don't want to wait for more than 20 years, and we don't want to delay the development of the family for more than 20 years. ”

The Great Elder said with a sigh.

After speaking, he actually stepped forward, walked in front of Zhang Feng, and then raised his hand and patted Zhang Feng's shoulder.

This is...... Something that the Great Elder had never done to Zhang Feng.

"Zhang Feng, you have never been the one we have neglected, among the three inheritors, I hope you can win the most, don't let me down. ”

The Great Elder patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Zhang Feng was stunned.

He never imagined that these words would come out of the mouth of the Great Elder.
