Chapter 315: Embattled
The next day, shortly after breakfast, Shu Qingwu called Shang Ye Xiu to his boudoir.
Shu Qingwu said with some concern: "Senior Brother Ye, the Zhao family invited the two of us to the engagement banquet today, is it a Hongmen banquet?"
"Of course it is. Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"You're not worried at all?" Shu Qingwu said: "My father told me that he didn't sleep well all night, but he saw that you were in good spirits in the morning......"
Well, my father-in-law thinks that Ye Xiu, this child, is too heartless. There's something big about to happen, and you can still sleep so soundly?
Of course, Shu Qingwu was embarrassed to say it so directly.
"Nothing to worry about. Ye Xiu said with a smile: "Lady, don't worry, you can see how your husband will kill the Quartet tonight." ”
"It's a crime to commit murder. Shu Qingwu reminded.
Ye Xiu smiled slightly: "Spiritually destroying a person and turning him into a walking corpse is more cruel than destroying his body." ”
If Zhao Dingbang hears this sentence, he will definitely agree very much.
Because he and Ye Xiu have the same idea.
The more proud a person is, the more difficult it is to bear to fail. Tonight, Zhao Dingbang just wanted to blow Ye Xiu to the point where he was incomplete, and since then he has given up on himself and lost his life.
Many times, killing people is still cheaper than the other party.
If the other party is worse than dead, it will be a mess, and a lifetime of fear and remorse will be spent in fear, and that kind of punishment will be even more cruel.
"I see. Shu Qingwu smiled: "Although I can't guess what you plan to do, I believe in you." My husband must be the best and most powerful man in the world. ”
Ye Xiu couldn't help but grin.
He felt energized.
How can a man become better and better? It is inseparable from the praise and even worship of the women around him.
I'm willing to be better for you.
At this moment, Ye Xiu found that he liked light dancing more and more.
If at the beginning, Ye Xiu just wanted to pick up girls, but with these days of contact, he found that he was really in love with her.
……
Evening.
Although Shu Zhenguo is calm on the surface, he has always been anxious inside.
Finally, at this time, the son of another of his henchmen got back a list.
This young man is called Wang Jincheng, although he is not a descendant of the Shu family, but he has been playing in the Shu family since he was a child, and he has a very close relationship with the Shu family.
His skills are very good, more than several times more powerful than the head of the Shu family's bodyguards.
Before Aunt Ye came, he could be regarded as the most powerful master of the Shu family.
"Uncle Shu, fortunately, he did not disgrace his life. The little nephew finally got the guest list for the engagement party. Wang Jincheng said.
"Hard. Shu Zhenguo took the list.
Seeing the name of the first person, Shu Zhenguo's face changed.
The more he looked down, the tighter Shu Zhenguo's brows wrinkled.
Looking at the entire list, Shu Zhenguo's face became pale, and it seemed that the whole person was deflated at once.
"Uncle Shu......" Wang Jincheng said with concern.
Shu Zhenguo smiled reluctantly: "Jin Cheng, thank you for your hard work." You go down and rest first, and let me be alone for a while. ”
"Okay. Wang Jincheng retreated.
Shu Zhenguo picked up the list again.
The situation is unexpectedly dangerous.
Zhao Dingbang's move this time is really a big deal.
All of a sudden, the Shu family was embattled.
The first name on the list.
Song An, the son of Song Hongde in Xiangbei Province.
Shu Zhenguo and Song Hongde do have some small contradictions.
Southern Hunan and northern Hunan are bordered by large provinces in central China.
Pearl City, the provincial capital of Hunan Province, and Seoul, the provincial capital of Xiangbei Province, have been competing for national central cities.
It's very simple, there can only be one central city in such a close province.
However, this is all official business, and in the end, Seoul won and was selected as an international central city, while Pearl City was disqualified.
Shu Zhenguo thinks that he and Song Hongde have no personal enmity, but this time he let his son participate in the engagement banquet of the Zhao family, what does it mean?
The second name.
Shao Yuanhua, the second son of Shao Liyong, the general of the military department.
For a long time, Shu Zhenguo's relationship with the Ministry of War has been not bad, although he and a general like Shao Liyong, although they are not familiar with each other, they can chat affectionately when they meet.
Unexpectedly, Shao Liyong actually sent his son to attend Zhao Kai's engagement.
This is a relatively obvious danger signal, which means that the Shao family is also on the side of the Zhao family!
And the third person was even more unexpected for Shu Zhenguo.
Richardson, President of Greater China of Far China Venture Capital.
This is a Chinese, and his Chinese name is Richard.
What is the origin of Yuanhua Venture Capital?
It is an investment company established by the Rockefeller family, one of the largest conglomerates in the world.
How awesome is this consortium?
It is not enough to describe it as a rich country, and a qualifier must be added in front of it, and the wealth of this family can be worth the richest and most powerful country in the world.
This consortium has been thriving for 600 years now!
Standard Oil, Chase Bank, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Rockefeller Center, the University of Chicago, Rockefeller University, the Museum of Modern Art, and the World Trade Tower, which collapsed in 911, were all created by this consortium.
If Rockefeller Sr. had lived to this day, his wealth would be 10 percent more than the total assets of the world's top 10 richest people.
For most of the 20th century, Rockefeller was synonymous with wealth and power.
Over the years, Richard, president of Greater China of Yuanhua Venture Capital Company, has had a good relationship with dozens of feudal officials in China.
After all, this is the world's largest God of Wealth family.
If you have a good relationship with Richard, you can drive the local economic construction if you miss a little bit between his fingers.
And now, Richard actually came to attend the engagement banquet of the Zhao family?
What does this mean?
Could it be that the Zhao family also co-opted Yuanhua Venture Capital Company?
No!
Shu Zhenguo immediately realized that the Zhao family was not qualified enough, and it was because the Wang family in the capital came forward that he invited Richard.
This is a great disaster for Shu Zhenguo.
He finally understood why Song Hongde favored the Zhao family.
It's all for Richard's sake!
Or to put it more bluntly, it's for the sake of money.
Dozens of other feudal officials in Huaxia can look at the face of money and come to Zhao Kai's wedding.
Although they knew in their hearts that this was tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the Shu family, so what?
I'm just here for a friend's engagement party, what's wrong?
The Shu family can barely fight with the Zhao family, but what about the Song family, or are there other feudal officials who are not on the list?
That's not going to be fun at all.
Just throw in the towel.
Shu Zhenguo thought for a long time.
Finally he made the difficult decision.
He called Ye Xiu to his study, looked at Ye Xiu in a daze, and said after a long time, "Xiu'er, you are very good." I am lucky to have a son-in-law like you. But instead of giving you anything, I may not be able to give you anything in the future. ”
Ye Xiu said with a smile: "Why did my father-in-law suddenly say this? You married me the pearl of your palm, this is already the greatest gift." ”
Shu Zhenguo sighed and said, "Today's engagement banquet between Zhao Kai and Ling Ruoyan, you and Qingwu still don't have to go." ”
"Why?" Ye Xiu said in surprise.
Shu Zhenguo's face was grim and said: "The current situation is very bad. The engagement banquet of the Zhao family this time was his last warning to my Shu family. If I don't know how to advance and retreat, then I will suffer the catastrophe next. My Shu family is now embattled and powerless, so ......"
Ye Xiu said: "So you're ready to admit defeat?"
Shu Zhenguo sighed: "That's right. Now admit defeat, I can still step down with dignity, and the Shu family will not suffer any big losses. Even, I can go to the capital and become a cadre of the Qingshui Yamen. Although he has no real power, he will be very good in the second half of his life. ”
Ye Xiu shook his head and said, "I admit defeat before I beat you?" If you were a soldier now, you would be a deserter before you could fight, and you would be shot right now. ”
Shu Zhenguo frowned and said, "Xiu'er, speak well." If there is a way, who wants to be a deserter?"
Ye Xiu said seriously: "Father-in-law, what news did you hear?"
Shu Zhenguo picked up the list and handed it to Ye Xiu.
Song An.
Shao Yuanhua.
"Who are these? I don't know. Ye Xiu said: "It's this Richard, I know." ”
Shu Zhenguo roughly talked about the family background of Song An and Shao Yuanhua, and then asked, "Are you familiar with Richard?"
Ye Xiu said: "I'm not familiar. But know such a person. ”
Shu Zhenguo looked disappointed.
