Seeing Guo Yulan ask how much potential she had, Xiao Yuan smiled, arched her hand, and said:

"You let me say to myself how much potential I have, what should I say, if I am not modest, you will say that I am exaggerating, if I am modest, you will think that I have no self-confidence, instead of saying how much potential I have, it is better to look at actual actions, before coming here, Sister Sa has already told me some things about the elders of the outer gate of Hongmen, the position of the elder of the outer gate is of great significance, the boy thinks that with my current strength, it is not enough to take this position, nor is it enough to convince the public, so I think this matter can be postponed first. In the future, everyone can observe my behavior, and if one day, everyone thinks that I am qualified to serve as the elder of the outer gate of the Hongmen, then it will not be too late to discuss it, but by doing so, it will somewhat disappoint the master's expectations. ”

"Old woman, listen, listen, this apprentice of mine is good at talking, not exaggerated, not inferior, the old man has met countless people in his life, a young man of twenty years old, it is really rare to be able to do it to such an extent, what else do you have to say." The old man did not blame Xiao Yuan for taking matters into his own hands and asking for the postponement of the appointment of the elders of the outer gate, but instead showed off his might to Guo Yulan.

"It seems to me that this disciple of yours is not at all modest, confident, or even proud, but it is not bad for young people to have this arrogance." Although Guo Yulan and the old man had different opinions, they were still quite satisfied with Xiao Yuan's words.

"So, old woman, what more do you want of my apprentice?" The old man asked.

"You yourself also said, no matter how good the words are, they can't replace the action, Peng'er is terminally ill, the next generation of Hongmen family members must be elected as soon as possible, the next generation of outer door elders can not be delayed for too long, should be elected as soon as possible, Xiao Yuan if he wants, he can be used as a candidate for the outer door elders, and the other elders can also recommend a candidate each, we can let these young people show their abilities and do a unique competition, the winner can be appointed as the outer door elder together when the new family of Hongmen takes office, This will convince the more than 100,000 people of Hongmen, old fellow, what do you think of my proposal? Guo Yulan said.

"Old woman, these words are your real purpose, what assesses my apprentice's potential is completely an excuse." The old man was very dissatisfied with Guo Yulan's proposal, his face became gloomy, and he glanced at the other ten elders sitting down as he spoke, and snorted coldly and said, "Also, there must be ideas from your guys here, hum!" ”

"Great Elder, the Outer Gate Elder is of great significance to Hongmen, so I have to be cautious!"

"Yes, Great Elder, your apprentice is very good, and he has nothing to say about his character potential in all aspects, wouldn't it be better if he could stand out from the competition and then block the crowd?"

“……”

The elders below saw that the old man was pointing the finger at them, and that he had a tendency to get angry at any time, and could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they all expressed their opinions to him.

"What are you doing here, are you trying to force the palace, I didn't propose my apprentice to serve as the elder of the outer gate, you all seem to want to forget about the matter of the elder of the outer gate, what are you doing at that time, don't think I don't know, now I propose to let my apprentice serve as the elder of the outer gate, what do you want to do, from yesterday to now, in just a few hours, you can reach an offensive and defensive alliance so easily, don't think I don't know what your idea is, pat your chest, and answer me loudlyAre you really thinking about Hongmen? ”

The old man's face was pale, his voice was low, but the words he said made those elders lower their heads one by one, and no one dared to meet the old man's gaze at this moment.

"Raise your head, you, third, tell me, who are you going to recommend to compete with my apprentice?" The old man was unwilling to let go of the elder who lowered his head, and pointed to the old man in the green robe just now and asked loudly.

"Boss, don't be angry, the elders of the outer gate are indeed very important, and there is no room for mistakes." The old man in the green robe raised his head and said with a fist to the old man.

"Tell me no nonsense, who are you going to elect to compete with me?" The old man interrupted the words of the old man in the green robe and asked in a deep voice.

"I haven't figured this out yet." The old man in the green robe looked ashamed and lowered his voice and said.

"I haven't figured out what you're talking about, fourth, tell me, who are you going to choose to compete with me?" The old man turned his gaze to the four elders again.

"The younger brother is ready to recommend Huang Dapeng." The four elders arched their hands to the old man and said.

"Huang Dapeng, that unsuccessful guy, in his forties, has achieved nothing, why should he compare with my apprentice, and he is in his forties, why are you embarrassed to let him compare with my apprentice?" The old man said with disdain.

"How can you say that it can't be done?" The four elders muttered in defense.

"Then you tell me how he became a tool, he is in his forties, and he is still working for others, when will he be able to make the company his, and then come to compete." The old man said with a sneer.

The four elders were robbed of white by the old man for a while, his face instantly turned into a red cloth, and he opened his mouth and wanted to justify, but in the end he closed his mouth, sighed and stopped talking.

"Old Five, what about you?"

Next, the old man didn't let go of any of them, asking them one by one, asking these elders to say who they elected, and then not giving them face at all, and denigrating the people they elected one by one, making the next few elders simply learn from the three elders, and they all said that the candidates have not been thought of yet, although this will still be despised by the old man, but it will not be like the previous few people who are criticized by the old man and are useless.

After asking around like this, the old man finally turned his gaze to the second elder, Guo Yulan.

"Old woman, who are you going to recommend to compete with my apprentice?"

"Long Taijie." Guo Yulan smiled slightly and said a person's name.

"You elected Long Taijie?" The old man frowned, and did not belittle it mercilessly as before, but his expression was extremely solemn, his performance surprised Xiao Yuan, so he turned his head to look at Tang Sa, but found that she was also confused, obviously she had never heard of this person.

"Long Taijie is back from South America?" The old man asked.

"Yes, it wasn't long after he came back, how about it, is he qualified to compete with your precious apprentice?" Guo Yulan asked rhetorically.

"If it's Taijie, you have a lot of power to compete with my apprentice, how are you going to compete?" The old man said.

"Measuring a person's ability is nothing more than two aspects of bravery and resourcefulness, I don't think there is a need to fight for bravery, your apprentice will definitely lose compared to Taijie, if you are resourceful, I have an idea." Guo Yulan said.

Hearing Guo Yulan say this, Xiao Yuan frowned, but did not speak, but his expression was keenly captured by Guo Yulan, so she asked with a smile: "Boy, are you not convinced by what I just said?" ”

"You don't have to have any crooked ideas about my apprentices, the elders of the outer gate have little to do with Yongwu, I will make decisions for him in this matter, admit defeat, how are you going to compare your wisdom?" The old man took the initiative to mention that Xiao Yuan admitted defeat before Xiao Yuan answered, which made Xiao Yuan even more curious about this Long Taijie, what kind of person and how strong his strength was, so that the old man who had always refused to admit defeat took the initiative to admit defeat.

"Gambit, Taijie will stay in San Francisco for three months when he comes back this time, and these three months should be enough to compete with your apprentices." Guo Yulan said.

"How do you compete?" The old man asked again.

"In three months, each person will receive a million start-up capital, give one of them to register a company, and look at the company's situation after three months, and then it will be clear who is strong and who is weak." Guo Yulan said, after finishing speaking, she looked at Xiao Yuan, smiled slightly and asked, "Boy, do you dare to accept this challenge?" ”
