The reason why Ji Yingjie's cronies would recommend Zhu Yiwen is very simple.

The elders are all high-ranking and powerful, and it is not a day or two to covet the position of the patriarch.

Nice to say, Acting Patriarch?

Once the patriarch's position is seated, no one will want to come down.

When the time comes, let alone the location, I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the patriarch's life can be saved.

And Zhu Yiwen is different.

Zhu Yiwen has the ability to manage family affairs under the authorization of the patriarch, and the arrangements are in an orderly manner, and there have been no problems.

And Ji Yingjie's cronies all think that Zhu Yiwen is not ambitious, which is the most important thing.

Competent, not ambitious.

It can not only ensure the normal operation of the family, but also wait for the patriarch to wake up and return the position smoothly - it is very beautiful!

The two sides began to argue fiercely, and the quarrel was inseparable.

It seems that there are good reasons.

Conservatives oppose Zhu Yiwen as the acting patriarch for a legitimate reason - there has been no rule for men in the Ji family to be in power for thousands of years!

When a man is in power, it is tantamount to shaking the fundamentals, absolutely not.

The cronies argued: Why not?

When the patriarch went out, didn't he let Mr. Zhu take charge of the family business for a while?

The results of his management are obvious to all, why didn't you jump out and oppose it at that time?

Conservative: Can it be the same then and now? Although the patriarch was not at home at that time, she always paid attention to and controlled everything in the family remotely.

Moreover, the elders were also closely monitoring at the side, and if he dared to have two hearts, he would be killed immediately.

It's different now, the acting patriarch has the supreme power of the family, and everything is up to him.

Once Zhu Yiwen takes office, even the elders have to obey his orders, he can do whatever he wants with power, no one can control him, the risk is too great.

The cronies ridiculed: You have seen it so thoroughly, isn't it a day or two to covet the position of the patriarch?

Don't always think that you are a smart person and that everyone else is a fool.

The family can only be said by the Ji family, and the women of the Ji family are in a coma, so they will be temporarily replaced by the men of the Ji family, no problem!

Zhu Yiwen is Ji Yingjie's person, so he is also counted as a man of the Ji family.

The quarrel between the two sides entered a white heat, and the women quarreled one by one, from day to night.

They quarreled from morning to night, but the two sides still did not argue with a convincing result for both sides.

Zhu Yiwen didn't say a word during the whole process, sitting quietly in his seat like an old monk, but when others asked him to express his position, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

There is no desire for the patriarch's rights, and he shows that he is very confident in the patriarch's recovery.

Zhu Yiwen said: "If I am asked to act as the patriarch, I will use the head guarantee to manage the affairs of the clan well, and when the patriarch wakes up, I will give the patriarch a better and stronger family." ”

He also said: "My life was saved by the patriarch, and since then I have been a dog of the patriarch, and I am willing to do anything for the patriarch." ”

"If the patriarch can wake up now, I am willing to die immediately!"

Although this statement of loyalty was useless, it moved the cronies to the knickers.

But conservatives still disagree.

And they are numerous and powerful, and they still have the upper hand in the end.

Zhu Yiwen was squeezed out of the candidate's position, he was not annoyed, he didn't even frown, and went to serve the patriarch.

A week later.

Everyone reunited in the conference room.

It's still the last time, but it's a very different attitude!

Now there is almost no objection, and everyone supports Zhu Yiwen as the acting patriarch.

The reason is simple, there is also discord within the conservative faction.

Against the cronies, these people are unanimous.

However, if the acting patriarch is elected among the elders, the opinions of the elders are not unanimous!

Everyone wanted to be the acting patriarch, and everyone felt that they were the most qualified, and at first it was just a quarrel, but it soon turned into a martial fight.

Every day there are fights, every day there are injuries.

This week, the clan has been in turmoil, but there is still no satisfactory result for everyone!

In the end, they unanimously decided to let Zhu Yiwen be the acting patriarch, let him stabilize the situation first, and then replace him himself.

Zhu Yiwen saw the thoughts of these people.

He is quiet on the surface, but in fact the changes these days are within his plan.

Even those people will fight like they are now, Zhu Yiwen is involved in every incident, he does not "help" every elder in the open and in secret.

It can be better if you don't help, but the more you help, the more you help, and finally it becomes a mess.

Zhu Yiwen became the acting patriarch.

At first, he paid back his duties in the first ten days, but he didn't last long before his original form was revealed.

The first thing he had to do was to find out where the Ji family's treasures were hidden.

He hasn't been idle at all these days, Ji Yingjie's bedroom and study have been carefully turned over by him several times, and he almost dug three feet into the ground.

But no trace was found.

Patriarch's bedroom.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk".

"Come in."

Nianyin came in, and bowed to Zhu Yiwen respectfully: "Acting Patriarch Good afternoon, do you have something to do with me?" ”

She is Ji Yingjie's most powerful confidant, and this time Zhu Yiwen was able to become the acting patriarch, and Nianyin contributed a lot.

"Hmm."

Zhu Yiwen pointed to the Zinan wood carved chair next to the couch: "Sit down, I have something very important to ask you." ”

"The subordinates don't dare."

Nian Yin suddenly knelt on the ground, sincerely frightened.

That chair is a special seat for the patriarch, and Zhu Yiwen is now qualified to sit on it as the acting patriarch.

If she sat on that chair, she would have rebelled against her, which is why Nianyin was so frightened.

"Acting Patriarch, I am a loyal patriarch like you, the sky is above, the sun and the moon can be seen."

Nianyin raised three fingers of her right hand and was about to swear, but was stopped by Zhu Yiwen: "Don't swear, I believe in you." ”

He was pleasant: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the agent is not an agent, let alone an agent, even if it is the real patriarch, I don't dare to be interested...... I think you're fit to be a patriarch. ”

Pronunciation: "The subordinates don't dare." ”

Zhu Yiwen: "Don't say dare or not, I want to know if you want to?" ”

"I don't want to." She didn't hesitate for a second.

Zhu Yiwen was a little disappointed, he didn't expect that there were really people who didn't want power and didn't care.

Since the lure doesn't work, let's go another way.

He sighed: "You are so smart, you know that this acting patriarch is a hot potato and don't take over, I am just a stupid, I always want to share the worries of the patriarch and go next." ”

"As a result, I don't know how difficult it is to become a person, and the daily expenses of the clan are a lot of money...... The patriarch is hiding a treasure outside, you tell me the address, and I will take it out in case of emergency. "He began to cry poor.

Zhu Yiwen's target is those treasures hidden outside.

But he didn't know where he was hiding, and asking directly was too obvious and easy to be rejected.

So he changed his way and followed the temptation!

Nian Yin understood the meaning of his words.

However, she pretended not to understand: "No, the patriarch has already arranged the daily expenses of the clan, even if we don't do anything, lie down and spend ten years, there will be no deficit." ”

"Acting Patriarch, you can rest assured that there will be no problems with the finances." There was no direct refusal, but it was also a refusal.
