Chapter 296
Lan Tianxing held a banquet in 'Xiushui Jiangnan', and invited the senior management of the Lan Group and the senior elders of the Lan family to attend.
Lan Zitao conspired twice to usurp the position of the patriarch of the Lan clan, but unfortunately he lost to Lan Tianxing, and instead became the laughing stock of the Lan clan after dinner. And Lan Tianxing, the eldest young master who has a good plan and a decisive victory, is even more miraculous by the legend.
The reason why Lan Ziqian and Fang Jingping were in the same stream was that he wanted to use the opportunity of him to disrupt the Lan family and push his own son Lan Ming to the position of the eldest young master to control the Lan family, but he didn't expect that Lan Ming was in Lan Tianxing's plan from the beginning and was under Lan Tianxing's command.
Because Lan Ming performed well in this big play, that is, he was not greedy for power and had no money obsession, and his powerful performance deceived his father. It played a role in diverting the opponent's attention and luring the enemy deeper, and he also cooperated well with Yun Yu, which is worthy of praise.
There is also a more important reason that Lan Ming did not stand in the wrong line, and he took risks with him on Lan Tianxing's boat from beginning to end, so after the matter was completed, he became the direct beneficiary of this 'pruning branches' plan, and the next successor of the eldest young master of the Lan family.
The boss of 'Xiushui Jiangnan' thirty years ago was Lan Tianxing's biological mother Yu Li, who did not marry into the Lan family at that time, so the industries under her name were independent and not in the Lan Group.
After Yu Li passed away, he left 'Xiushui Jiangnan' to his son Lan Tianxing, and 'Lisheng Company' because the boss at that time was Zhuang Asheng, after Brother Sheng and Xiao Sanye lived in seclusion, they naturally left it to Senior Brother Zhang of the 'Zhuang family', which is the property of the Zhang family.
Therefore, these two very profitable transactions are not really under the Lan family, and Lan Tianxing seems to have a special meaning in setting up a banquet in 'Xiushui Jiangnan' at this time.
Although Xiang Guang was also invited, he was too low-key in his behavior, and he didn't bring his brothers as a foil, so he went into the teahouse alone to find an inconspicuous place to sit down and drink tea. Lan Tianxing didn't dare not give face, otherwise he wouldn't come.
Lan Xin still came very early as always, it has always been his wish to find an opportunity to return the position of the patriarch, he was pressed by Lan Tianxing in that position and couldn't get out, and he was exhausted after working hard for so long.
His identity as a fake Lan Shao is too embarrassing, and Lan Zitao has been slandering Lan Tianxing in order to find a reason for himself to seek power and usurp the throne, and he has also heard a lot of rumors during this time.
Although it is said that 'the clear person is self-purifying', but it is not clear that it has been slandered to the extent that 'three people become tigers', Lan Xin can not care about his reputation, but he has been thinking about justifying Lan Tianxing's name, so he wants to persuade Lan Ziqian to come forward to be this witness.
After receiving the invitation, Lan Ziqian felt that he had no face to see Lan Tianxing again, and he didn't want to come to the banquet at all, but there were rumors that Lan Tianxing might give up the position of the eldest young master, and it was still a mystery who the flowers were, so he was anxious to know the answer, so he reluctantly came.
When Lan Ziqian arrived at the banquet hall, he saw his third brother Lan Zitao, who had not seen Lan Zitao for two months, and he was very old and weak. Leaning back in the chair with his eyes closed as if he was asleep, Fang Jingping sat next to him with a disillusioned expression.
Are they invited?
Lan Zitao's father and son committed a mess and wanted to change the dynasty after Lan Tianxing was set aside, and after the attempted rebellion, he was not placed under house arrest or expelled from the Lan family, and at this time he could still sit here to participate in the banquet in a grand manner, it seems that Lan Tianxing's kingly bearing is by no means imaginable by ordinary people.
"Fourth uncle..."Fang Jingping stood up very respectfully when he saw Lan Ziqian, and his words and deeds were much more regular.
Lan Ziqian let out a long sigh, then patted Fang Jingping's shoulder and smiled, "Becoming a king or losing a king, everyone is the same!" ”。
"It's different!" Lan Zitao opened his eyes and said lukewarmly, "Your son is still 'Mr. Ming', and my son... But it's nothing! ”。
If ranked by age, Fang Jingping should be the eldest young master of the Lan family, but he, the 'eldest young master', has been hidden by his father for more than thirty years, and he has obviously missed the best opportunity to take the throne.
"Third brother, something... No one can say clearly..."Lan Ziqian wanted to persuade a few words, but he also knew that it was useless to say anything, and no one could change the fact that no one could change the success or defeat of the king.
If Lan Zitao's father and son win this battle, the situation of him and his own son Lan Ming may be even more miserable, because Lan Zitao will definitely not leave a disaster by his side to replace him.
"Needless to say, our father and son are convinced! Otherwise..."Lan Zitao smiled self-deprecatingly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be here today!" ”。
Fang Jingping also sighed, "Lan Tianxing's power and strength are unfathomable, and they also make us unreachable. Even if we are lucky enough to seize the power of the Lan family, how long can we stand on this disputed river and lake? Behind the young lady of the Lan family, there are also the Kang Ran of the Leng family and the Huatang of Yanliu, before they made a move, we were already defeated, only to blame for not recognizing the reality at the beginning, and it was also our own fault to come to this point...".
It seems that the Buddhist classics left by the ancestors of the Lan family are of practical educational significance, and the father and son have an epiphany?
"That's right! Scold... Heh..."Lan Ziqian smiled perfunctorily, since he wanted to be white, he didn't talk nonsense about himself.
However, with his understanding of Lan Zitao's father and son, it is impossible and possible to have an epiphany so soon, and the fact that it is possible is that Lan Zitao has changed the direction of his plan, and he wants to make another trick in a certain period of time.
But there is also an important point that cannot be ignored, that is, if they make another move, even if Lan Tianxing doesn't make a move, maybe Kang Ran and Huatang will get rid of them.
Lan Ming came this time with his wife to show his affection, before he always thought that Fang Yining was a spy of the Fang family, and he had always been disgusted and deliberately snubbed her, after many misunderstandings were resolved, the virtuous and virtuous Fang Yining was already his sweetheart, and he would be promoted to be a father in a few months.
When the two of them went upstairs, they were still glued together with their fingers, envious of others.
Lan Ze didn't find a girlfriend, and the lonely shadow was boring, so he temporarily pulled the harsh winter over as the object of complaining, and Lan Yuan was bored and went over to talk to them.
Before, the Lan family had such a banquet, and Lan Ming couldn't bring his little lover to attend, so he always pulled Lan Yuan as a follower, but recently Lan Yuan was dumped for no reason.
So at this time, I was very curious to look at the two people who showed affection and asked Lan Ze, "What is the situation of Young Master Ming, is this to be the patriarch to pull votes?" ”。
Lan Ze didn't know what had happened between them these days, and he was also confused and said, "Did he take the wrong medicine?" This person's taste can also be changed? Again... If he really becomes the patriarch of the Lan family, he will have no future, and sooner or later he will have to be swallowed by other forces! ”。
Lan Yuan glanced at Lan Ze up and down, left and right, and asked puzzledly, "Young Master Ze, what do you mean?" Isn't it because you want to say that this seat is suitable for you to sit in? ”。
"Me? Don't be my turn to be the patriarch, I'm still so young and don't want to die early! Lan Ze retorted without even thinking about it, "I just think Lan Ming's ability... It seems to be almost. Besides, my uncle is still so young, why can't he think of abdicating to make way for Xian? ”。
Lan Yuanshen smiled mysteriously, "You haven't heard of those rumors?" Didn't they all say that our family's Tianxing Young Master is not... Oh... Scold... Heh...".
"What's not?" Lan Ze glared and asked, "Lan Yuan, you have to think about it before you speak, if it weren't for my uncle's pity on you and rewarding you with food, you would still be ... Scold... Heh...".
As soon as the two of them said half a sentence, they all stopped and began to smirk, Yan Dong looked strange and just wanted to tease him, but also found that the atmosphere had changed, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that the eldest young master of the Lan family had already stepped out of the elevator, and Ji Lang followed behind him with a calm face.
The person who can make Ji Lang retreat to the position of a follower bodyguard and be willing to be a foil will have no one else besides Lan Tianxing.
Yan Dong knew Ji Lang but had never seen Lan Tianxing himself, and at this time, when he saw the indescribably handsome image of the eldest young master of the Lan family, he couldn't help but lean into Lan Ze's ear and asked, "Brother Liang, is the eldest young master really our eldest brother Yun Yu?" Look at this look and temperament... Why is there such a big difference? ”。
"That's the Zhang family's disguise technique, a stunning stunt! You don't understand..."Lan Ze sighed with self-pity, "My father is better to my uncle than his own son, why didn't this family pass on the stunt to me?" ”。
"It's because your qualifications are too poor! The understanding is low and you don't know how to work hard, and passing it on to you is a waste of the ancestors' hard work and wisdom. What can't hold up the wall, can you do something useful besides whining? Senior Brother Zhang taught behind Lan Ze, "A waste who doesn't become a talent...".
