Past Life: Meeting is Life Chapter 124: The Conditions for the Heir (I)
Su Nuo wondered whether the seemingly easy-going Mr. Xiao would side with Mrs. Xiao and refuse to negotiate with the workers, or would agree with them and take the initiative to negotiate with the workers.
"To be honest, it's really hard to decide," Xiao Mu turned his head to look at Su Nuo, his eyes clear and sincere, like two crystal clear emeralds glittering.
Su Nuo looked at Xiao Mu's eyes and found that he didn't feel the arrogance and coldness of the nobility in his eyes at all, but was full of hesitation and uneasiness.
"Why is that?" Jenny asked.
"yes, why are you so hesitant?" Du Ye felt that now was not the time to hesitate, and he should let this Mr. Xiao make a decision as soon as possible, "Your friendliness is well known, and I believe that you would not want to see someone injured or even killed because of this incident, right?" ”
"Whether it's the workers in the factory, or anyone else, I'm sure you don't want to see them hurt, so I think it's right that you should negotiate with the workers right now and find a solution through negotiation, isn't it, Mr. Xiao?"
"You're right, but," Xiao Mu knew that Du Ye was completely right.
Xiao Mu also felt that nothing would be more important than human life, but there was also a problem in front of him that he had to consider, "Du Ye, it shouldn't matter if I call it like this, I know what you said, I know that I should avoid a head-on conflict between the two sides, which will cause casualties, which is the last thing I want to see,"
"But although the current Xiao family is generally in my final say, I still can't ignore the opinions of other members, because after all, I am only managing the Xiao family for Xiao Yue, and in the final analysis, I am just an agent, which also makes my current situation very difficult,"
"What do you mean by that?" Su Nuo felt a little puzzled, could it be that Mr. Xiao had something unspeakable?
"You should also know that Xiao Yue has now reached the age where he can inherit the Xiao family independently, as long as he gets married, I must completely hand over the supreme power of the Xiao family to Xiao Yue in accordance with the regulations, so that I will have no power in the Xiao family, and no one will listen to what I say at that time," Xiao Mu indicated his current embarrassing situation and possible changes.
Xiao Mu sighed lightly, "Because of this, there are many people who don't want to listen to me anymore, they feel that I should hand over power to the rightful heir as soon as possible, and so far they can still listen to me, and they are not in a hurry to pull me down from the position of the supreme ruler, just because my decision so far is quite correct, and it is because of this that I can't make mistakes at this time, do you understand?" ”
"Then you are afraid that if you choose to negotiate with the workers, the other members of the Xiao family will deprive you of your current power on the grounds of wrong decision-making, and turn you from a king into a small soldier, right?" Su Nuo spoke her mind very directly, although she knew that saying this would hurt Mr. Xiao, but now was not the time to save face.
Xiao Mu looked at Su Nuo, he was not angry because of Su Nuo's words, but on the contrary, he let out a long sigh because of Su Nuo's words, "What I'm afraid of is not that I will become a small soldier, but that Xiao Yue has not been able to become a king at the same time that I become a small soldier, so that the Xiao family will become a plate of loose sand without a leader, and it will be easily attacked by other families, which will ruin the group that the Xiao family has worked so hard to build," qq
Du Ye felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched, as long as Xiao Yue was rescued, everything could be turned around, "Mr. Xiao, I think your worries have some reason, but I still can't agree, if you ignore the opinions of other members now and negotiate directly with the workers to rescue Xiao Yue, then Xiao Yue can inherit the king's position at the same time as you lose the king's position, so there will be no situation without a king and a group of dragons without a leader, isn't it?" ”
Yue Qian, who had been silent on the side, spoke, "Things are not as simple as you think, Xiao Yue is not so easy to inherit the Xiao family, you should have heard what Xiao Mu said just now,"
When she said this, Yue Qian's eyes also moved to Su Nuo's body, "As long as Xiao Yue gets married, he can inherit the family business, but the object of marriage must be the daughter of a certain family designated by the family, otherwise he will lose the right to inherit, the most important thing is that Xiao Yue has no brothers, if he can't inherit the Xiao family, then the huge Xiao family group will fall into the hands of those side branches,"
"Why is that?" Du Ye didn't quite understand.
Yue Qian continued to explain, "This is a family rule that has been passed down from generation to generation by our Xiao family, there must be someone in the family who marries someone from another powerful family, that is, a strong marriage, Xiao Yue's father will marry me because the Xiao family wants to marry our Yue family,"
"And his younger brother Xiao Mu can marry the person he likes, that's why the only one who inherits the Xiao family is Xiao Yue's father, but in Xiao Yue's generation, because Xiao Yue has no brothers and sisters, he must marry people from other families to inherit the family business, now you understand,"
"And judging from the current situation, Xiao Yue has no way to inherit the family business in a short period of time, so Xiao Mu can't leave this position, otherwise the Xiao family will definitely be chaotic, and the Xiao family will also fall into the hands of those side branches,"
Su Nuo heard Yue Qian's words just now like a thunderbolt hit her, she just asked very mechanically, "You mean that Xiao Yue must marry a certain designated girl from a family in order to inherit the family business, is that what you mean?" ”
"Yes," Yue Qian clearly saw Su Nuo's shock, and this was also the effect she was trying to achieve.
Yue Qian had long heard that Xiao Yue's relationship with a civilian-born captain in the Cooperative Team was very unusual, and Su Nuo was the only captain who was not from a family. Yue Qian just deliberately let Su Nuo know that Xiao Yue would not and could not marry a civilian girl.
"If Xiao Yue marries someone else, then he will lose the inheritance of the Xiao family, which is absolutely not allowed to happen, do you understand?" Yue Qian further clarified what she meant.
Su Nuo's heart was almost filled with despair, she didn't know what to say, and finally she said something that seemed to be talking to herself, "Then Xiao Yue himself knows about this,"
"Yes, since he was sensible, he knew that this was his responsibility to the Xiao family," Yue Qian said as if she had won, and her words were full of joy.
