The old lady herself lives in this half-century-old mansion, like an old spider lying on the web, looking motionless, but every corner of the web is under her surveillance. She knows who is performing well and who is performing poorly, what is happening in the world and where the trend will go in the future is also a question she is concerned about.

Hong Tao asked himself, he really couldn't do the errand of Mrs. Zhang, he was too busy, too worried, and too much to choose. No wonder she has become an old monster without any feelings, whoever gets to this position has to change, if she can still have feelings, she can't do this job well, and the future of the family will be gone.

The first generation of entrepreneurs is often the most attentive and at the same time the most worried, they not only have to focus on the cause but also are particularly entangled in inheritance. Because the hardships they endure are unimaginable to future generations, they love this industry even more, and always want to find a suitable heir to carry forward the family business.

"Why do I feel a little awkward about putting another layer of building on the outside of the yard. "The size of the Zhang family's old house is not too big, not even Marshall Manor, but the location is good, right in the heart of the mint forest.

However, Hong Tao is very puzzled by its architectural style, from the outside, it is similar to the surrounding buildings, all in the style of Western-style manor villas. But after entering it, I found that the houses on the outside floor are all furnishings, and the Chinese courtyard in the center is the real residential area. It is still the kind of tiled house with the taste of Jiangnan, the eaves of the four corners are raised high, and the largest room in the middle is the ancestral hall.

"The local government has a plan for each community, and even the rich can't do whatever they want. Originally, there was no outside circle of houses, but a few years ago, the local government felt that this did not match the surrounding buildings, so it also fought a lawsuit and lost. ”

"The old lady was not happy to change it into a Western-style house, so she gave up this place and found another place, and it is said that the old lady was reluctant, which was the result of a compromise between the two sides. "Kang Li has been with the old lady for more than 20 years, although she is not surnamed Zhang or Chinese, but her status in the Zhang family is very high, and she has great power, so she should know the most about the history of the Zhang family.

"In fact, there is a way to change, now that there are more and more Chinese immigrants, you can make suggestions to the city government to create a Chinese community in the name of developing different styles, even if the location is a little worse, as long as it is not too far away from a good middle school or university. ”

"I believe that in a few years, the price of land in this community will skyrocket, because there will be more and more wealthy Chinese immigrants, and the first thing they do is to buy a house for the future development of their children. The reason for the strange appearance of the house was clarified, and Hong Tao began to have ideas again.

This is the difference between having rules and not having rules, there are basically no rules for the powerful at home, and the powerful still take advantage of the powerful abroad, but they must toss and turn within the rules, and they can't jump out of the nonsense, which is a big progress.

Rules are a thing that not only protects others, but also protects oneself. And the rules will give people hope, and they can know exactly what their future will look like. After having a clear goal, people's motivation will naturally be greater, and their sense of security will be enough, which is the foundation of a happy life.

In the domestic flood that has no rules, or all kinds of unspoken rules are rampant, it can be like a fish in water with the help of memory, and in foreign countries where the rules are clear, the flood still has loopholes to drill. Any rule is gradually improved in the process of breaking and healing, and sometimes the place where the rules are clear is more suitable for the traverser to cheat. Because only if the rules are clear and do not change overnight, the future can be predicted.

“…… I'm afraid you'll have to help Ms. Diane with this, and I'm willing to do my best if needed. Conley must have learned part of the conversation from Mrs. Zhang, or she had already known about it in advance.

Hong Tao's proposal is very feasible in her opinion, the Zhang family is not worried about money now, what is worried about what industry should the money be invested in, Hong Tao happens to be strong in this regard. She was not just patting on the back, but also conveying a friendly message to Hong Tao, but in a more subtle way.

As soon as the old lady leaves, her position as the big housekeeper of the family will not be easy to mix, not to mention how many people in the family have offended for the old lady before, even if a new head of the family comes up, it is estimated that she will have her own set of people. Even if she retains it for the sake of the old lady's face, she will not be allowed to continue to be in charge, at most she will be given a good-sounding position for retirement.

"Diane really needs your help, but don't rush it yet, she can't handle such a big mess in a short time. Fortunately, there is still time, let's come little by little. ”

"If there is a more suitable candidate in the family, I, the executor, am afraid that I will have to kill my relatives in righteousness. In fact, to be honest, I am very reluctant to let her sit in this position, it is more comfortable to live a life easily. But who made her a member of the family, this is a responsibility, and I have no right to deprive her. ”

Kang Li was in such a hurry to express her position, and Hong Tao really didn't dare to believe it easily. It is possible that she really wants to show her loyalty, or it is possible that she took Mrs. Zhang's instructions to test herself, the purpose is to see if she has the heart to help Diane embezzle the Zhang family's property.

No matter what kind of thoughts she had, there was no need for me to be in love with her. Diane really doesn't have the ability to be the head of the house now, and she doesn't have the heart to fight the Zhang family's property.

Not to mention the planning of the Zhang family's family property, just this minister who cares for his life is enough for his own headache, there are few people who can start and finish well in this position in history, and if they don't make themselves, they are rats drilling bellows at both ends and getting angry, and Zhu Bajie is not a person when he looks in the mirror.

For example, this Conley, she is fully capable of making trouble with herself, and she has nothing to do with her in a short period of time. If she unites a bunch of people within the Zhang family to fight against her, I'm afraid she won't be idle in the next few years, and she will come and play with them if she has nothing to do.

How to crack this bureau, Hong Tao doesn't have any idea in his heart now, he wants to listen to Thomas's opinion first, and after figuring out the various forces within the Zhang family, he will decide who to pull and who to press.

"You two are too underestimated, I haven't done anything bigger than this real estate development project, even if I'm not familiar with the environment here, it's slower to adapt at best. ”

Hong Tao and Kang Li Diane heard the conversation, but she didn't know what Mrs. Zhang meant, let alone delusional about taking over the position of the head of the family, thinking that it was just a real estate development project, and then protested against the two people.

"Don't worry, I just have such an idea, and whether it will work out remains to be demonstrated. Hong Tao glanced at Conley, not intending to tell Diane the truth. She has a great interest in doing business, and if she knows that she can use the resources of the whole family, she will immediately have grass in her heart.

People are like this, once they encounter something that suits them, they will devote themselves wholeheartedly, not that they will see money, but they will breed ambition. When you're not capable enough, it's a hassle to be ambitious.

Besides, Mrs. Zhang's will has not been seen by herself, and the content is not clear. No matter how big Mrs. Zhang is, she will not give the Zhang family to Diane alone, it is no longer a desperate bet, but gambling.

The most likely situation is that after Mrs. Zhang leaves, according to the content of the will, a board of directors composed of many people will be formed within the Zhang family, and Diane may be qualified as a director and have more right to speak.

He plays the role of the minister, assists and supervises the operation of this board of directors, and has the right to veto certain motions if someone is found to be doing something. Since he is the main executor, it means that Minister Gu Ming is not the only one, and there should be other people involved.

The old lady of the Zhang family is really home, and she will be the Empress Dowager Cixi for another hundred and ten years. To be alive is to grasp all the rights in her hands, even if she is dead, she must set the right path for future generations, and exert influence as much as possible, saying that she is not wronged at all if she dies.

"Yes, it's just a casual conversation, and it doesn't mean to deny your ability. Since Hong Tao was reluctant to say it, of course Conley wouldn't talk much. Her position is very delicate, ability or something to put aside first, absolute loyalty is the focus of the point. In second place should be to keep your mouth shut, and if you are not sure what you have to say, it's better not to say it.

"But I'm not sure what you mean, so I'd better get my vape smoke first...... It's useless to stare at him, it's not what I meant, it's his, I'm going to stare at you. ”

has the opportunity to hit Diane, Jiang Zhuyi will never let it go. The relationship between the two of them is very much like that of sisters, and they have a good personal relationship, but they are full of competition. Especially when both people feel that the other is not weak, the competition becomes all-encompassing.

"This is the guest room of the main compound, very few people live in it, if there is anything you can inform me at any time, I am in the front house. Seeing that Jiang Zhuyi and Diane were pinching again, Kang Li was very interested in planning to slip away.

Now she can't figure out what Hong Tao's attitude is towards these two women, so she doesn't plan to mix, let alone stand in line rashly, it's dangerous to get close to either side, maybe she will splash blood, how wrong.

"You two sleep in this room, I'll go next door, the old lady is still seriously ill, it's not suitable to be too casual in her house. Hong Tao also had to avoid the two of them, Diane is not easy to deceive, she will definitely keep asking about the conversation between herself and her grandmother, especially the question of worshipping heaven and earth. Jiang Zhuyi is even more troublesome, she still hides that she is pregnant, and she feels weak when she sees people.

"Cut, who is rare, I don't want to listen to your snoring, go, take me around your house. Regarding Hong Tao's arrangement, Jiang Zhuyi really has no opinion. These days, she can be tossed and scared by Hong Tao, and now she still has palpitations, and it is best to avoid it for a few days.

"......" Diane was obviously not happy to sleep with Jiang Zhuyi, but she couldn't say that she wanted to sleep with Hong Tao, and was pulled away by Jiang Zhuyi step by step.
