As night falls, the lights come on. As the news spread quickly that the selection competition for the new president of the Jade Association would be held in the front yard of the Duan family in the evening, the vicinity of the Duan family's mansion was already surrounded by water, and even the traffic was almost paralyzed. The transportation management department had no choice but to dispatch traffic police to maintain traffic order.

The bus on which the Deming Road group was riding had stopped on the side of the road before entering the controlled section. Everyone understands the traffic situation in the front section, and when their bus climbs to the Duan family's mansion, let alone go to see the excitement, even Old Man Duan has fallen asleep!

"There are so many people coming to celebrate Old Man Duan's birthday, and the roads are almost crowded, it seems that he is deeply loved by the locals!" Deming Dao leaned against the open car door and looked ahead, and couldn't stop admiring.

"Silly B!" The people passing by him looked at him like fools and hurried forward.

"Wu Linchong! I just got the news that Mr. Duan is going to step down as the president of the Jade Association after the birthday banquet, and there are also two vice presidents. In the evening, they had to select the next leadership of the Jade Association through a selection competition, which was held in the Duan family compound. ”

"No wonder those people are desperately squeezing in, it turns out that they are going to the tryouts." Li Lifei understood what was going on as soon as she heard it.

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go, it's too late to see it! Ann immediately began to heckle.

"When is it a head to squeeze around like this? Isn't it fragrant for us to take the special passage? Dai Mingdao lightly tapped An's little head, took out his mobile phone and dialed Duan Yuting's number, and by the way, he also settled the cost of the chartered car.

A short time later, a black business car drove from the rear and stopped steadily next to Deming Road. The window opened, and Duan Yuting sat in the driver's seat urging them to get into the car quickly. After Deming said that they were seated, the car turned a corner and drove away from the Duan family's mansion.

"Mr. Lin, you can be regarded as arriving, I'm dying!" Duan Yuting drove the car skillfully, and drove the car into a remote road. He glanced at the people in the car through the rearview mirror, and wondered: "What about my little sister and Lebo, why didn't they come back with you?" ”

"We'll be back when we're done. The two of them still have important things to do, and then they will come. Demingdao said mysteriously.

"The tryouts are about to start, and we're still waiting for our little sister to save the game! What if she can't make it! Duan Yuting was a little worried.

"Huh? Can't you participate on your own? Why do you have to wait for your little sister? The girls asked why.

"Do you know: in the age group of young adults, Xiaomei's ability to distinguish stones is the strongest, and she has surpassed our father's generation and chased my grandfather. She is the hope of our Duan family to win the championship for a second time, and it is also the key for our Duan family to continue to sit firmly as president. In this selection competition, all my grandfather's generation retired, so the hope of the little sister winning the championship has greatly increased, and the probability of our Duan family becoming the president is not eighty percent but seventy percent. But if my little sister doesn't have time to participate, it will be difficult to predict the outcome of the outcome! The more Duan Yuting spoke, the more anxious he became.

"Oh, I see......" Everyone understood Duan Yuting's words.

"Duan Gongzi doesn't have to be anxious, you better take us to meet your grandfather first. Since the evening event is so important, we also need to prepare a few different plans so as not to rush into the battle and be caught off guard. In addition, I have a few small gifts to give to your grandfather as a birthday gift, so that your grandfather is very happy to see it! Deming comforted him.

"Okay, I hope my little sister can come back in time for the allotted time......"

Duan Yuting's car drove quickly to the end of the path, drove into a hole open gate, drove a short distance further, turned into a downward passage, and stopped at one location.

"This is the underground parking lot in the backyard of our house. Please ...... here" Duan Yuting opened the car door to let everyone get out of the car, and then led the way in front and led everyone to a spacious room by elevator.

In the middle of the room is a large round table with a diameter of two meters. The top of this table is made of a single piece of wood, which is a valuable item at first glance. There are five people sitting at the table, and there is an old man sitting on the main seat, although his temples are white, his face is ruddy and his breath is long, and his face is not angry and arrogant. However, at this time, his face was slightly anxious; The other four are all about forty or fifty years old, and they are quite similar in appearance, so they should be brothers of the same clan. At this time, they also frowned, and frequently looked up at the door and the direction of the elevator, as if they were waiting for someone to appear.

As soon as Duan Yuting and Dai Mingdao appeared, everyone was in high spirits and happy, and they stood up one after another, but when they saw that there was no one looking forward to the arrival, they sighed and sat back in their respective positions.

Duan Yuting walked quickly to the round table, greeted those people one by one, and then whispered a few words in the old man's ear. The old man's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stood up and laughed: "Oh, it turned out that Lin Xian's nephew and others were here, it was really a distinguished guest, and the old man and other mundane things have not been greeted from afar, it is really rude!" Come on, take a seat, serve tea! ”

"Old Duan, you have won the prize! I am waiting for you to come today to coincide with your birthday, so I will prepare some small gifts, and I hope that Duan Lao will accept it! Demingdao chewed on the words, walked to the round table, and took out a rectangular wooden box and placed it on the table. As soon as the box appeared, it emitted a vague aroma. Everyone knows that the box is made of wood, but they don't know what kind of tree it is.

Dai Mingdao pushed the wooden box in front of Old Man Duan and said with a mysterious smile: "Old Duan, please open it and see if this gift is to your liking?" ”

Old Man Duan was a little uncertain in his heart, but he still politely opened the wooden box. Everyone looked inside the box and saw a white piece of paper folded in the box. From the corner of the white paper, you can see that there seems to be some handwriting written on the paper.

Old Man Duan glanced at Demingdao suspiciously, put on reading glasses and picked up the blank paper, opened it carefully and read it carefully. I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it! Old Man Duan had only read a few sentences, and his whole person couldn't help but tremble. After a long time, he finished reading, and with trembling hands, he carefully folded the white paper and put it back into the wooden box, and said to himself, "This ...... How is this possible? Why...... No, no......"

At this time, a number of servants came in from outside, bringing chairs, tea, and other things. Deming said that they were not polite, and each found a place to sit down.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" One of the middle-aged men approached and asked the old man with concern.

"This little brother Lin really gave me a great gift, Dad, I don't know whether to accept it or not!" Old Man Duan took a deep breath and sighed.

"Hehehe, Duan Lao doesn't have to think too much. Since we gave this gift, we have no intention of returning it. You can put a hundred hearts away and put it away. "But I want to ask you, what's wrong with what is written on it?" ”

Old Man Duan calmed down for a moment, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "It is more comprehensive and profound than our Duan family. I'm sure it's definitely not our family's share. To tell the truth, after so many years of inheritance, our family has already been seriously lacking, otherwise we wouldn't be waiting for Yuhan's little girl to come back and pick up the big beam in this secret conference room with a sad face! ”

"You're talking about the president's tryout?" Li Lifei asked.

"Exactly. Now among the younger generation of our Duan family, Yuhan's little girl has the highest talent, and the probability of being green has almost reached as much as half. As long as she comes out, the position of the president is in the pocket of our Duan family. As soon as Old Man Duan talked about Duan Yuhan's little girl, he changed his sad expression just now, and suddenly became full of energy, and his face was full of pride.

"I didn't expect that little girl to be quite powerful...... Meng Yuanyun muttered, this style is similar to the eldest sister's evaluation of the little girl.

"In that case, let's give you a second gift." Dai Mingdao stretched out his hand to stop Meng Yuanyun from continuing, stood up and walked to the open space indoors, waved his big hand, and "transformed" something out in front of him.

"This is ......" Everyone present looked at it and was all surprised.

------------ Dividing Line-----------

After half a day of planning and arrangement, the front yard of Duan's house has been changed to a different look:

The corridor at the entrance of the hall was temporarily converted into a rostrum. The three wooden chairs in the middle of the door are the positions of Old Man Duan and the other two vice presidents. The wooden chairs extend to both sides, and they are all VIP viewing platforms for local squires and respected people. There is also a row of tables and chairs in the forecourt plaza near the corridor, where the judges work. The left and right stages are now the showcases for the contestants. The central plaza in the front yard was originally used as a seating area for guests to enjoy stage performances, but now it has been converted into a rest area for the contestants. A large area near the entrance is now the new guest area, with no seating and no one to entertain them, who like to watch the lively bringing-your-own benches and snacks.

Originally, everything had been arranged, and it was only as soon as the auspicious time arrived to start this year's Jade Association President Selection Competition, but somehow the Duan family suddenly added a set of two-meter-diameter round tables and chairs in the middle of the front of the judges' bench. This set of tables and chairs is the one in Old Man Duan's secret conference room.

Ordinary people also feel a little curious about the newly placed tables and chairs, at best, but the bigwigs on the rostrum and the VIP viewing platform are all well-informed, and they feel something unusual from the moment this set of tables and chairs appears.
