When he returned to Morgan Manor, John saw Xiao Jiu who had been picked up, this little guy had been in Fengze Garden for a few months, and he was raised by Wang Yijun like a porcelain doll.

Maybe it's because they have the same blood in their bodies, or maybe it's because they have the same experience, and the two guys play together as soon as they meet, which makes John quite satisfied.

Of course, it was Mrs. Morgan who was the happiest, and since the two little ones came to the manor, she had a noticeably more smile.

She only has an only child, John, but John has been very sensible since she was a child, which makes her worry a lot less and less fun as a mother, and now there are suddenly two more little ones in the manor, which makes up for a lot of her fun.

"Doudou, Xiao Jiu, where do you want to go today?" Early in the morning, Mrs. Morgan sat in the dining room, looking at the two little ones who were eating opposite. Of course, her communication with these two little ones was based on the translation of Daini on the side.

"I want to go to Disneyland. Xiao Jiu replied with a vague face in his mouth.

"Do you know Disneyland?" John on the side was a little surprised.

"Of course I do. Xiao Jiu was a little complacent. "My friends who came to eat at the restaurant told me that Disneyland was very fun, with Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse in it, and I liked Donald Duck the most. ”

John nodded, and the circle decided that seeing that this was not wrong at all, the people who could enter Fengze Garden to eat were not ordinary people, Xiao Jiu stayed with these people every day, and he saw that he must be wider than ordinary people.

"I love Mickey Mouse. Doudou on the side also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, okay, I'll let Brother JK take you there after Christmas. Mrs. Morgan smiled.

Christmas at Morgan's family is different from ordinary people, it is not as simple as eating a big meal and opening gifts.

Christmas at the Morgan family can be said to be a family gathering, and on Christmas Day, people who are just members of the Morgan family, no matter how busy or far away they are, have to rush to Morgan Manor to gather.

The first is to report to the family about the work of the year, and the second is to set the work goals for the coming year.

It can be said that it is an internal annual meeting.

On Christmas Day, John, as usual, stood at the door early in the morning in full clothes to greet family members from all over the world.

"Uncle Bob, long time no see!"

"Hello Aunt Shalene!"

"Sister Connie, you're getting prettier!"

"Grandpa Div, your body looks good!"

John's face stiffened with a smile in the morning, although the Morgan family has very few descendants, but the side lines are flourishing, and there are more than 60 people in John's generation, and if you add the above two generations, there must be more than 100 people.

In fact, it's not that there are really few descendants, but that the Morgan family has a special family rule: after the eldest son inherits the patriarch, his brothers and sisters will be reduced to the collateral line, so there are more and more collateral lines but the descendants have not changed much.

After waiting for the last few people, John returned to the manor and strode into the conference room.

As long as the meeting is generally boring, the annual meeting of the Morgan family is the same, and it can be summed up in two sentences: summarize the past and look forward to the future.

The whole meeting, except for a lunch in the middle of the meeting, lasted until the afternoon.

After the meeting, it is naturally the time for the dinner, which has always been in the form of self-service, so that everyone can communicate in a mobile way without having to be fixed to a certain chair.

At the beginning of the dinner, John mingled with the crowd with a glass of champagne, interacting with his peers, who usually had a good relationship.

"Cousin Felix, you've made a lot of money this year!" John smiled and clinked glasses with Felix. As soon as Felix graduated from university, he used his family to set up his own investment company, and his investment almost paid off this year.

"Huh," Felix smiled. "Brother JK, I watched the movie you made, and although it was a good shot, it wasn't the inner type I liked. ”

John knows that this guy has a very strong taste, and he likes some bloody horror movies, and "Stealing Love" is obviously not his thing.

"That's no way, I will never be able to shoot what you like. John shrugged.

The crowd around smiled when they heard his words, and the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious, which was rarely seen in a large family.

Such a family atmosphere is not because the Morgan family is all saints who have no desires, but because of the family rules.

As early as more than 100 years ago, the founder of the Morgan family understood a truth: it is never an external force that can defeat oneself, and internal strife is truly deadly.

Therefore, in order to prevent the family from decaying in the internal strife, the patriarch set the clan rules early on and clarified the benefits of each person.

For example, in order to prevent competition for this position within the family, there are clear provisions in the family rules: the heir of the patriarch can only be the eldest son of the patriarch, and no one else has any play.

Even if this eldest son is a fool and can't pass the family assessment, the Morgan family will not elect a patriarch among others, but will only enter the division of powers, and when the eldest son of this fool is born and successfully passes the assessment, the right will automatically return.

If the patriarch is infertile or the heir dies suddenly, the Morgan family will list all the minor members in the side lineage, and select a child of the family to pass on to the patriarch by drawing lots.

The reason why the method of drawing lots, instead of the way of establishing merit, is also to avoid disputes. If there is a wolf ambition guy in the sideline, and his son happens to be a talented and virtuous person, then he will inevitably be murderous.

And more importantly, the benefits obtained by the collateral personnel are fixed, even if your son becomes the patriarch in the lot, he will not be able to bring you more benefits, and the interests of the collateral are all stipulated to be dead, and the patriarch cannot be changed. And for the continuation of the family, the collateral will be supported by the family when he becomes an adult, and when he is unable to manage the assets, the assets in his name will be fed back to the family to continue to support the next generation.

Therefore, everyone can't fight for the position of patriarch, and it's useless to fight for it, and everyone gets the same amount of resources, so naturally there is a lot less fighting.

John chatted a few words and walked out of the small group with champagne, and just as he was about to enter another small group, he saw a figure sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, drinking alone at the moment.

Seeing this, John picked up his champagne and walked into the corner.

"Darren, why are you sitting here drinking by yourself?" John patted the cousin on the shoulder and sat down next to him.

Darren Morgan sighed as soon as he saw that it was John. "I'm not in the mood, I want to be alone. ”

John smiled when he heard this, this guy is really good enough this year, he, like Felix, also got an investment company after graduation, but his luck is not as good as Felix, and several projects he invested in have lost money one after another.

"Darren, investing in this kind of thing requires not only vision, but also luck, not this year, next year with profits will not be enough. John reassured.

"Thank you. Darren knew John was comforting him and smiled reluctantly.
