As more and more people enter the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City becomes more and more lively.

The first purpose of many people entering the Forbidden City is not to go to the place of the Ten Thousand Battles Banquet, but to make friends here continuously.

Because it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The big people with heads and faces in the entire Dahua Kingdom have basically arrived here.

And those big people also know the importance of networking, and they are not afraid to associate with anyone who comes to make friends.

Along the way, Gongsun Yubin glanced at Gongsun Gaojie's proud appearance with his head held high, which made him a little unhappy.

So he was anxious, looking around, hoping to find an acquaintance, eager to brush a wave of presence in front of Gongsun Xuanba.

Then, he really let him find one.

Gongsun Xuanba was not in a hurry to go to the Ten Thousand Battles Celebration Banquet at this moment, he, like other people who stopped along the Forbidden City, also had the idea of being able to get to know some people.

At this time, he saw Gongsun Woobin greeting a person cordially, and then walked towards him.

"Uncle Xuanba, this is Chen Jing."

Chen Jing stepped forward and smiled at Gongsun Xuanba.

"Hello patriarch Gongsun, I am Chen Jing, and the one behind me is my father."

Gongsun Xuanba looked over and found that the person was Chen Xinhou.

The secretary of the board of directors under the Ministry of Industry is also a very high status in the court.

He knew that the Ministry of Industry was responsible for the construction of the country, and it was said that many of the buildings in Shangjing were made by the person in front of him.

"The Gongsun clan has admired it for a long time, and today I finally got to see it."

"Director Chen, I have also admired your name for a long time."

......

The heat on the field continues.

Gongsun Gaojie and Gongsun Yubin are still fighting openly and secretly, constantly proving that their connections are strong.

In contrast, Gongsun Shilong is much thinner, and he doesn't know anyone here.

This has something to do with his personality, on weekdays, Gongsun Shilong rarely interacts with people his age, which naturally reduces the connections of many different families.

And Gongsun Gaojie is different from Gongsun Yubin, they are quite keen to envelop their own network.

When they saw Gongsun Shilong, who was alone and had nothing to gain, they all showed a playful look.

In their opinion, Gongsun Shilong wants to compete with them for the position of patriarch, even if he is the patriarch's biological son, but this great Gongsun family is not Gongsun Xuanba alone.

Their fathers are all high-level people in the Gongsun family, and they have the ability to dominate the situation of the Gongsun family.

Moreover, if Gongsun Shilong is really a waste, then the Gongsun family will not let a waste become the next patriarch.

At the end of the day, it's all about being able to speak!

Whoever is strong can become the patriarch.

Due to the hard work of Gongsun Gaojie and Gongsun Yubin, many families have established exchanges with Gongsun Xuanba, which makes the Gongsun family have a lot of allies to choose from in the future.

In the interval, Gongsun Xuanba looked at his lonely son, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.

If it goes on like this, his son is indeed inferior to the other two.

Shangjing is a very realistic place, where there are no ideals and calls.

Gongsun Xuanba has been reflecting, over the years, he has let Gongsun Shilong go and let him travel everywhere in the world, did he harm him or help him?

If he lets Gongsun Shilong stay in Shangjing and honestly make a few more connections, it will also help him in the future.

He won't stand there like a dumb man now, watching the other two surpass him in every way.

Gongsun Shilong didn't make a sound, and he didn't have anything to say.

Probably, his only connection is only one person.

It's just that the person hasn't arrived here yet.

After a while.

Gongsun Xuanba was a little more relaxed, and he walked next to his son, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Shilong, where's your friend?"

Gongsun Shilong looked at his father.

"He hasn't come yet."

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanba felt a little better, at least he had some connections for him to get acquainted, and he was not too embarrassed to tell the family leaders about these things after he went back.

After all, bringing the three best juniors into the Forbidden City this time was also the result of unanimous discussions among the high-level members of the clan.

They hope that through this test, they can judge which of the three people can be the next patriarch of the Gongsun family.

"Can you tell my father, which family is he from in Beijing?"

"Father, he's not from Beijing."

When he heard this, Gongsun Xuanba's face was slightly ugly.

Not someone from Shangjing? That would be behind the other two. No matter how high the status of the people outside is in their place, it is not worth mentioning in Shangjing.

"What is his family background? Where did both his parents work? ”

"Father, his parents died ten years ago, so he doesn't have a family background."

After listening to this, Gongsun Xuanba's heart became even colder.

Whether a friend with no background can enter the Forbidden City is a question.

"Is this the kind of people you've made from your travels?"

Gongsun Xuanba's tone was already a little unkind, and he was faintly disappointed with his son's performance.

Gongsun Shilong responded seriously.

"Yes father, I believe that I have made enough connections with him to make any connections."

"Nonsense!"

Suddenly, Gongsun Xuanba's tone turned into a reprimand.

"Didn't I teach you, know friends, the more the merrier, you are now betting all your bets on an ordinary person whose parents are dead and have no background, do you think that with your competitiveness, you can take over the position of patriarch from me?"

It's no wonder that Gongsun Xuanba suddenly became angry.

After all, how can a father not want his son to be angry, of course Gongsun Xuanba hopes that the position of patriarch can be taken over by his son, and it is a matter of course for the son to inherit the mantle.

Gongsun Xuanba also didn't want him to sit in the patriarch position for decades, and finally handed it over to the other lineages of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Shilong listened to his father say this, and the stubbornness in his heart also rose.

"Father, I firmly believe that relying on the hands of others, I can't achieve my own big things after all! If I want to win a future, I might as well rely on myself! ”

At this time, there was a sound of applause from the side.

Gongsun Shilong followed the prestige, and it was Gongsun Yubin and Gongsun Gaojie who walked towards him.

Gongsun Gaojie held his head high, with a playful and arrogant look on his face.

"Gongsun Shilong, what you said is so good! However, although this is such a truth, whether this can be done or not is not up to you! ”

Gongsun Yubin glanced at Gongsun Xuanba and spoke slightly.

"Uncle Xuanba, don't blame me for being straightforward, if you say something that displeases you for a while, just treat me as a fart."

Gongsun Xuanba glanced at these two people, and thought in his heart that if he could wake up his son through this opportunity, it would not be a bad thing.

"Say!"

"In that case, then I'm saying."

Gongsun Yubin turned around Gongsun Shilong and then spoke.

"Gongsun Shilong, I believe you should be very clear about the test of this family! The reason why the Gongsun family is standing tall in Shangjing and becoming one of the four great families is not only because of the strength in your mouth! It's more about the connections that the elders work hard to maintain! ”

"Among the four major families, only the Gongsun family and the other three families have the most stable relationship, don't think that this is relying on strength and people will take the initiative to maintain a relationship with you, this strength is the most indispensable thing in Shangjing!"

"However, you are extremely naïve to say that you have to rely on your strength and abandon the connections that the Gongsun family has always pursued, you are fundamentally going against the foundation of the Gongsun family!"

"You say, 'Are you stupid?' Or is it too naïve? If you still have immature ideas and think about the world with that naïve childish thinking, I suggest that you give up the competition for the position of patriarch as soon as possible and find a place to live well, with the financial resources of the family, it is not difficult to provide for you without food and clothing for the rest of your life. ”

The voice fell.

Gongsun Xuanba's face was slightly displeased, these words were indeed very ugly, but they were also very realistic.

Gongsun Yubin sarcastically sarcastically mocked his son so mercilessly, still in front of him, but just now he allowed Gongsun Yubin to speak, naturally he couldn't get angry with a junior in front of so many people.

This only damaged his demeanor and ruined his face.
