Chapter 114 Drawing lots
Chapter 114
"Sister, that person can't be the master of Brother Xiuyuan!"
Under the podium of the venue, the two women who came in with Bai Wenchen sat on his right side, one of them was a fashionably dressed woman with a lollipop in her mouth, turned her head to look at Qin Ce who was sitting in the back row, and asked the short-haired woman beside her vaguely.
"It should be, otherwise the fourth grandfather wouldn't have brought him in." The short-haired woman touched an emerald green jade pendant in her hand and replied with a cold face.
"I really don't understand, how could the fourth grandfather find such a young master for Brother Xiuyuan, could he be more powerful than Qi Cheng?" The long-haired woman turned her head, took the lollipop out of her mouth, and said with a puzzled face.
"If you don't understand, don't think about it, it's sad and laborious, the fourth grandfather naturally has his reasons for doing this, Xiuyuan is the meat on the tip of his heart, he won't push his grandson into the fire pit, and that Qi Cheng is not a good class, except for the high point of kung fu, nothing else." The short-haired woman said with a look of disdain.
"Sister, you're not kidding! Qi Cheng, that's called the high point of kung fu? He's a close disciple of a martial arts master! Oh! I know, it must be because he injured Brother Jing last time, you have a grudge against him, right? Haha...... "The long-haired woman seemed to see through the short-haired woman's thoughts, and smiled back and forth.
"You...... I'm too lazy to pay attention to you" The short-haired woman was angry when she heard this, her hand was tightly grasping the jade pendant, and she looked sideways to the side, no longer brushing the long-haired woman.
Qi Cheng in the conversation between the two is one of the 4A-level wanted killers in Bai Wenchen's mercenaries, and he is also the most effective cadre under Bai Wenchen.
Some things that Bai Wenchen is inconvenient to solve are handed over to him to do, and he naturally has no ability to say, but his character is not very good, he likes women, and he is very murderous, and the women who are tired of being played by him will eventually die under his butcher's knife.
It is said that from his debut to the present, there have been no less than 200 women who have died in his hands alone, which shows how perverted this person is.
Seeing that her sister no longer paid attention to her, the long-haired woman knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly apologized.
"Sister, don't be angry, it's all my fault, you shouldn't tease you with Brother Jing, just forgive me, okay! Okay......" The long-haired woman shook the short-haired woman's shoulders and apologized with a cute face.
When the short-haired woman heard this, she turned her head and glanced at her sister, and said with a little anger: "Xiaoxin, let me tell you again, your sister has nothing to do with Jia Jing anymore, don't let him in front of me, otherwise I won't pay attention to you in the future!" ”
"Okay, okay, I won't mention him, I promise!" The short-haired woman pouted and pretended to be afraid.
Seeing this, the anger on the long-haired woman's face gradually receded, and after glaring at her sister again, she grabbed her sister's arm and pulled her towards her side.
Seeing this, the long-haired woman smiled happily, rested her head on the short-haired woman's shoulder, and continued to pick up the lollipop, happy like a child.
Beside the two, Bai Wenchen's face was heavy, and he heard the conversation between the sisters clearly, especially when the two compared Qin Ce and Qi Cheng, which made Bai Wenchen feel a little unhappy.
Qin Ce's background Bai Wenchen also sent someone to investigate, but nothing else was found except for superb medical skills, how can a doctor be compared with his own trump card!
At the beginning, he had mentioned to Bai Wenan that Qi Cheng should be Xiuyuan's master, but he didn't want to be politely rejected by Bai Wenan, and now Bai Wenan found a doctor to be Bai Xiuyuan's master, which made him unable to figure it out and even more unhappy in his heart, saying that such a good seedling was blind in vain!
Of course, except for the two sisters, I'm afraid that no one dares to say his subordinates in front of Bai Wenchen, if others dare to say this, Bai Wenchen would have been furious, and it is even very likely that he will order to kill that person, but these two girls are not only his granddaughters, but also the only thought left to him by his dead son, he is too late to hurt, how can he bear to blame.
Bai Wenchen originally had a son, named Bai Zhan, just like Bai Xiuyuan's position in Bai Wenchen's peace of mind, Bai Zhan is also the meat on the tip of Bai Wenchen's heart, and Bai Zhan is different from other family children, he is humble, knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and his heart is also very good, but he is a little timid, so Bai Wenchen has educated him a lot, no matter how much he educates, Bai Wenchen's love for Bai Zhan has also increased.
But he never expected that in the murder ten years ago, the cowardly son who was reprimanded by him for being cowardly, in order to save him, he used his body to protect Bai Wenchen with several muzzles and block the bullets that came from him.
When the Bai family's guards arrived, Bai Zhan had already been shot several times and couldn't die anymore, and Bai Wenchen was also shot three times, and now he still had a bullet in his body, and the pain was unbearable every cloudy day.
With modern technology, it is easy to take out this bullet, but Bai Wenchen doesn't want to take out the bullet at all, he wants to keep this bullet in his body, so that the pain caused by the bullet will always alert him, his son's revenge has not been avenged, he must find the mastermind behind the scenes, torture him to death with the most cruel means, and pay tribute to Bai Zhan's spirit in the sky.
If it weren't for Bai Zhan's death, with Bai Wenchen's strength and Bai Zhan's character, the heir of the Bai family would be Bai Zhan, and it would not be the turn of other tribes to compete for the position of head of the family here.
"Family master, everything is arranged, please move to the stage to preside over the lottery ceremony." Just when Bai Wenchen fell into a deep memory, a person in charge walked up to his side, leaned over and whispered.
Bai Wenchen was slightly stunned, nodded, then stood up from the sofa, strode to the podium of the venue, glanced for a week, and said to everyone with full of energy: "My Bai family has stood tall for hundreds of years since the ancestors started their business, relying on the decision-making of each generation of leaders and the efforts of the clansmen. ”
"I have 3,000 large and small industries in the Bai family, as the head of a family, I have a heavy responsibility, especially in business, which is the top priority, every decision you make involves the profit and loss of the family, if you want to be a qualified patriarch, the first thing is to create profits for the family, followed by the strength of the individual, all the children of the family who participated in the election, each person drew five lots, divided into five regions, limited to five days, the sum of the five is the winner of this one, the least profitable directly eliminated, and even in the future will not be allowed to run for the position of elder, As well as the positions of the Bai family, that's all it takes, now the lottery begins! ”
As soon as Bai Wenchen's words fell, the children of the family sitting in the conference hall began to discuss, especially those juniors who had neither strength but also wanted to be familiar with each other in front of the elders, one by one, they hung their heads and sighed, and some even wanted to withdraw directly.
There is only one head of the family, and the one who can become the head of the family must be the few genuine young masters of the Bai family, they naturally dare not covet it, but there are ten positions of elders, and there are dozens of management positions, and the purpose of their coming is to run for these positions, but just after listening to Bai Wenchen's words, these young people understand that this time it is strength, and it is impossible to get through the test in confusion.
"The first lottery, Bai Xueli!"
Just when everyone was talking, the voice of the elder in charge of the lottery on the podium suddenly came out, which also made the noisy conference hall suddenly quiet, and they all looked at the podium.
In the front seat, after Bai Xueli heard the sound, he got up and tidied up his wrinkled suit, and at the same time turned his head to look at Qin Ce and the others behind him with a proud face, and then in front of everyone, Bai Xueli bypassed the audio equipment under the podium and walked along the steps towards the podium.
With every step he took, he felt a little closer to the position of the patriarch, and the kind of pride that was difficult to hide was all on his face.
"Second Master Bai, please draw lots!"
Bai Xueli walked to the lottery box, and the elder in charge of the lottery looked at him and smiled, and said in a low voice respectfully.
"Good!"
Bai Xueli nodded with a smile, then reached out and drew a few bamboo sticks on the lottery box, the whole action looked very casual and natural, except for Qin Ce and the others who knew what was going on here, the other onlookers didn't see any problems at all.
After drawing the bamboo sticks, Bai Xueli handed the bamboo sticks to the elders, and then the elders took the bamboo sticks to the examination table and compared them with the serial numbers on the bamboo sticks with the other three elders according to their location in the region.
At this moment, hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience were all staring intently at the censorship, and they all wanted to know where one of the Bai family's most popular heirs had been drawn.
A minute later, after the elders of the examination desk finished inquiring, they wrote the area on the bamboo sticks on the paper and handed them to the elders of the lot, and then the elders of the lottery returned to the center of the podium again, opened the paper, and read aloud: "The bamboo sticks drawn by Bai Xueli are, No. 5, No. 8, No. 19, No. 36, and No. 37, and the corresponding areas are, Nanchang Road International Trade Mall, Beihai Street Famous Bar, Binhai District Commercial Street Tumei Cafe, Nanjing Road Baxianlou International Hotel and Bay Area Harbor Container Place!" After the lottery elder finished reading, he took out a steel seal stained with red ink from his pocket, put the paper on the table, and held the steel seal in his hand and pressed it hard.
"Second Master Bai, you take it, I'm here to congratulate you in advance." The lottery elder held the paper covered with steel seals in his hand, handed it to Bai Xueli, and muttered in a low voice.
"Hehe, Elder Wu, thank you!" Bai Xueli replied in a low voice. Taking the paper, Bai Xueli walked towards the bottom of the podium with his head held high, like a hero returning triumphantly.
When he walked to Bai Wenchen's side, Bai Xueli respectfully hugged his fist, and after Bai Wenchen nodded, Bai Xueli returned to his seat.
"I'll make up! This...... This Second Master Bai's luck is also good, the Bai family's few places to make quick money have been drawn by him, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true! In the crowd, a young man dressed in black exclaimed.
"It seems that the winner of this first competition must be Second Master Bai!" The companion beside the man in black also sighed.
"Well, indeed, I'm afraid that even the position of the head of the family will probably be his." Behind the two, another man in a purple suit chimed in.
"I admit the first point you said, but you said that Second Master Bai can be the head of the family...... Seriously, that's probably premature. Next to the three of them, a young man dressed in white said thoughtfully with his chin on his chin leaning.
"Oh? Bai Liyang, what do you say? The man in black looked puzzled, he had taken advantage of it, how could there be any reason not to win.
"Don't forget, the most popular candidate for the head of our Bai family is not only Second Master Bai, but also Senior Young Master Xiuyuan, he hasn't drawn lots yet, as long as he draws a few better positions, although he can't get the first place, he will definitely be able to advance, as long as he is promoted, then in the personal competition, do you think Second Master Bai has beaten Young Master Xiuyuan?" The man in white explained with a smile.
Hearing the man in white say this, several people suddenly woke up and nodded frequently, they thought that what Bai Liyang said was right, as long as Bai Xiuyuan could advance to the second round, it was really uncertain who would die.
The voices of several people talking about it came and went, and everyone understood that the winner of this competition must be Bai Xueli, but no one could say for sure the position of the head of the family, after all, Bai Xiuyuan had not yet drawn lots.
For a while, everyone turned their attention to Bai Xiuyuan......
