Chapter 343

"Patriarch, you can't be a Dink." I have to say that Ouyang Jun is really old, and the report just now makes him not concentrate enough. So although he felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong because he had just mentioned the child, he also thought that Ouyang Zhi didn't want children, and he didn't think of anything else. After all, Ouyang Zhi has always given people the feeling that he is cold after all, a child or something, maybe it is really not in his plan. I have to say that Ouyang Jun can be regarded as knowing Ouyang Zhi. At least two years ago, Ouyang Zhi really didn't plan to have children.

"It's not the time to have a baby. I'll wait until Doomsday City can rival Kyoto. Ouyang Zhi's fluttering words interrupted everyone's unspoken questions.

"Alright, let's talk about the work in Doom City and the things in the Leek Garden."

The next hour was spent in the orderly debriefing of everyone. The old butler, who had been busy during this period, also sat down and made a detailed report on the development work of Doomsday City in the past year.

"I've learned everything about this year. During my absence, you have all worked hard. The fact that Doomsday City was able to build into the scale it is today in such a short period of time is not yet on par with Kyoto, but such an achievement is something we can be proud of. ”

Looking around at the people who were a little excited because of their affirmation, especially those younger generations, the joy on their faces could not be hidden, and the older ones were a little older, although they were not so emotionally exposed, but with Ouyang Zhi's vicious eyes, they could still see their pride.

In fact, it cannot be said that the people sitting here are superficial. Not to mention far away, Ouyang Zhi's grandfather, Ouyang Xiaoren, also took over the position of the patriarch at a very young age. He led his people through all kinds of wars, repelled foreign invasions, won civil wars, and successfully avoided the chaos after the founding of the country. After so many tribulations, no matter how friendly Ouyang Xiaoren's original character was, it was also honed to be as sharp as a blade out of the sheath. Therefore, everyone in the Ouyang family rarely gets praise from the patriarch on weekdays. This has also led to the fact that in recent decades, every clansman who has been rewarded and affirmed by the patriarch is an honor for the entire family.

After Ouyang Zhi came to power, because of his youth, his coldness and unkindness were better than Ouyang Xiaoren. Over the years, there have been very few people who have been affirmed by him, let alone received such a wide range of affirmation and gratitude as tonight. So for a while, everyone was a little overwhelmed. And the people who were still dissatisfied with him for abandoning his responsibilities and disappearing without permission suddenly forgot about these.

"Now that we're down to business, let's talk about my departure over the past few months."

Ouyang Zhi put down the cup in his hand. He knew that everyone wanted to know his whereabouts during this time, and they wanted to hear his explanation. It's just that because of his usual prestige, he doesn't dare to ask. If he resolutely did not want to mention the matter, it would be over at that, and it would not be impossible. But it will plant a thorn in the hearts of people, a thorn that does not know what it will develop into. Doom City must be united, and the Ouyang family must also be united, so Ouyang Zhi must give everyone an explanation. Even if it hurts the prestige of the patriarch.

The atmosphere, which had been a little lively, suddenly became silent and awkward again. They came here today, indeed with a little resentment and a trace of oppression, and it was too irresponsible for the patriarch to do this. Originally, they also thought that Ouyang Zhi didn't want to mention this matter, so he didn't show his face during the day. Although I saw the redness and swelling on his forehead later, I knew that he had indeed been in the ancestral hall for a day. But after the family banquet, Ouyang Zhi directly brought the topic to the work report, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

But when Ouyang Zhi talked about it in person, the feeling in their hearts was even more uncomfortable. They really didn't come to persecute him. They are also genuinely supportive of him. But now, how does this feel so much like a forced confession?

Ouyang Zhi pretended not to know the entanglement in their hearts, and briefly talked about the places he had been to and the things he had done in the past few months. After talking about the discovery of Chen Yan's traces in the prairie of the Xinjiang region, he briefly mentioned the fact that he was jointly pursued by the Kyoto base and the Xinjiang base. But Chen Yan's situation is generalized. He didn't want people to know that Chen Yan was just a puppet now, especially this puppet, who was still controlled by the enemy and could take his life at any time! If it is known to everyone, then even if Chen Yan has been recognized, I am afraid that it will not be tolerated by everyone. Just like he would warn Lang Lang and the others at that time, even a few of them were jealous of Chen Yan in their hearts, let alone others?

So instead of being found out in a secretive way, it is better for him to explain the matter first, so that they will not delve into Chen Yan any further. Perhaps, Chen Yan's situation can be concealed for a little longer, as long as they catch Fang Hui, or Qin Qin's research on this side improves. Ouyang Zhi would not be naïve to think that Chen Yan's news could be concealed indefinitely. On the side of the Kyoto base, there will be a counterattack soon. One of the blows was to release the information that Chen Yan had been mentally controlled. This information will not have any adverse effect on the Kyoto base, but it can cause a storm in Doom City that is no less than a magnitude 8 earthquake.

Those who are loyal to Ouyang Zhi will want to solve Chen Yan, or rather, separate the two of them. In this way, with Ouyang Zhi's attention to Chen Yan, he would inevitably clash with these people who were most sincere to him, and if Ouyang Zhi compromised and left Chen Yan, then without Chen Yan, a seventh-order master, who was personally protected by Ouyang Zhi, the seventh-order master, the Kyoto base could arrange for someone to recapture her. After all, compared to Ouyang Zhi, an opponent who was growing at full strength, they were more interested in Chen Yan. In fact, Chen Yan's role is indeed very important.

Ouyang Zhi's painstaking efforts could only be felt by Lang Lang. The old housekeeper was a little confused, but he was busy with the family banquet all day today, and he hadn't had time to communicate with Lang Lang and Qin Qin, so he didn't know much about Chen Yan's situation, he just wondered that with Ouyang Zhi's thoughts about Chen Yan, he shouldn't have been so lightly mentioned on such an important occasion and important time. However, he upholds the duties of his subordinates and stewards very well, and will never ask in public.

Therefore, the people who were attracted by Ouyang Zhi's brief words did not think of the patriarch's wife who "lured" their patriarch to run away for a while. (To be continued.) )
