Chapter 142: Competition
In fact, the so-called invitation to Du Ze to join the evening banquet is to ask Du Ze to support the field, and generally when the new patriarch takes office, there will always be obstacles, both from within the clan and from outside the clan.
At this moment, the presence and support of a disciple of the head of the technical department can undoubtedly have an extremely good effect.
Hearing that Du Ze is a holy envoy, it is even more incredible, even if the Di clan is one of the four major families in Fuge City, it is not a fart compared to the holy envoy's words, as long as the holy envoy says a word, his patriarch will basically be stable.
However, he was a steady man and knew that he couldn't say much about this kind of thing, as long as he could invite Du Ze to join the banquet, it would be basically foolproof.
Du Ze thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll participate the day after tomorrow." β
Di Va's face was happy: "The place is the International Imperial Court, and I will send someone to pick you up the day after tomorrow." β
β¦β¦
Handing over the tree demon to Tang Taisui, Du Ze first went to the family villa area and met his mother and sister.
Then went back to his villa and said hello to Liang Xingguang and Xu Weier, they didn't know that Du Ze was chased and killed, Xu Weier listened to Liang Xingguang talk about being saved by Du Ze, Xu Weier said that Du Ze was so powerful that he was hiding from her, which made Du Ze a little crying and laughing.
β¦β¦
After two days of rare silence, the next night, Du Ze came to the international royal court on time.
Located in the bustling area of Fugo City, the International Royal Court is a world-class hotel where many celebrities hold their banquets.
As one of the four major families in Fuge City, the Di clan naturally can't lose face when the patriarch takes office for this important banquet.
There were all kinds of famous cars parked in the parking lot in front of the door, and it was obvious that there were a lot of rich people, and after all, it was an important banquet, not only the main figures of the Di family, but also members of other prominent families.
Du Ze was led into the hall by the receptionist, and the banquet had not yet begun, but he saw that many women in gorgeous evening clothes and men in suits had gathered into a group and chatted warmly.
Du Ze rarely attended this kind of banquet, and when he didn't see anyone he knew, he sat quietly in a corner alone, poured a glass of wine and drank it to himself.
However, as soon as he appeared, he quickly attracted the attention of many young women, his face was quite handsome, his streamlined figure was even to perfection, and the strong temperament that could not be concealed was undoubtedly magnetically attracted to ordinary girls.
No matter what Du Ze said, he also grew up fighting all the way, naturally exuding a kind of strong momentum.
But it is precisely because this temperament is so perfect that those women who see their hearts beating faster hesitate when they want to talk, and they begin to ask about Du Ze's origin one by one.
"Handsome guy, why are you drinking alone?" A cold and familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Du Ze looked back, his eyes lit up, he was wearing a decent white evening dress, supporting a tall and perfect figure, looking noble and elegant, his long hair was coiled high, revealing his neck with skin and snow, dazzling and bright.
A pretty face as perfect as an ice sculpture artwork, with a hint of a smile but not a smile.
Du Ze was stunned, he didn't expect Di Xue'er to have such a feminine side, different from the posture of the strong woman who fought among monsters with a sword, her temperament was still cold and arrogant, but she was no longer so repulsive to people thousands of miles away.
It is rare to say the word "handsome guy" from her mouth.
Seeing Du Ze looking at herself stunned, Di Xue'er's expression turned slightly red, and she said, "When did you come?" β
As he spoke, he sat down beside Du Ze.
Du Ze came back to his senses: "Uh...... It wasn't long after I arrived. β
Di Xue'er sneered and said, "What did you do in such a hurry in the hospital that day, I didn't have time to thank you, you are really a divine dragon who can't see the beginning and the end, and you can't be contacted as soon as you enter the Immortal Academy." β
Du Ze joked: "Thank me, how to thank you?" β
"Do you want to make a promise?" Di Xue'er said with a smile, and immediately felt that the joke seemed to be bigger, and her face turned red again. She has always been cold and arrogant, how could she say such a thing, she herself felt a little surprised.
Du Ze deliberately said with a smile: "Hehe, of course!" β
Di Xue'er snorted and slapped him with a fist, and the slightly embarrassing atmosphere became active.
Du Ze listened to the gentle music in the hall, and felt unusually satisfied in his heart, as if he hadn't been so comfortable for a long time.
The banquet officially began at eight o'clock in the evening, and Dilvar stood straight on the podium and made his opening remarks: "Thank you very much for coming, it is an honor to stand in this ...... today."
Du Ze didn't listen to Di Hua's speech, and was curious about Di Xue'er: "Is he your uncle?" β
The reason for this question is because I heard a few years ago that Di Xue'er's parents died. When her sister was seriously ill, it was also the medical expenses she earned by joining the women's competition.
If Di Hua is Di Xue'er's uncle, then it can only be said that this uncle is too incompetent, and Du Ze will not help such a person.
Di Xue'er shook her head and said: "We are just collateral, and the two are not related by blood, but it was he who took a fancy to my hard work and gave me a set of Di's ancient martial arts secrets, otherwise I might have died in the ring of the women's competition." Later, I was able to join Dick's thanks to his help. β
Du Ze nodded, he didn't forget to repay his kindness, such a person is worth helping, anyway, it's just a gesture.
Speaking of this, Di Xue'er frowned and said, "But he is too young, and most of the family members do not agree with him taking over as the patriarch, especially several of his clan uncles, who are strongly opposed. Therefore, I am afraid that this banquet will not be a good banquet, but I hope it will not start, once the incident becomes bigger, the elders of the family are likely to consider the candidates anew. β
Du Ze didn't want to pay attention to the internal affairs of the Di family, and said: "Anyway, if you support him, I will help him, you can rest assured, with me, I will naturally not watch tonight's banquet fall." β
Du Ze said, his eyes swept over the audience to see who was coming.
"Hey, the Qin family is here too!"
Du Ze glanced over and suddenly saw his grandfather Qin Yizhong and the Qin family patriarch and others.
Here, the Qin family can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized family, and it cannot be compared with the Di family at all, and they can only be reduced to an inconsequential role in such a banquet.
The Qin family and the others also saw Du Ze, but they all lowered their heads and looked at Du Ze without a face, and now Du Ze has entered the Immortal Academy and has become the proud protΓ©gΓ© of the head of the Technology Department, and his status is higher than that of their entire Qin family, and the two are no longer at the same level.
Qin Ming's face was decadent, a few months ago, when he was in Jialan Academy, his own strength was many times stronger than Du Ze. But how long has it been, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.
And Qin Yizhong and the patriarch of the Qin family, there was a trace of regret in their eyes, if they hadn't driven the Du Ze family out at the beginning, how could the status of the Qin family be so miserable now?
Du Ze didn't pay attention to the Qin family's affairs anymore, he defeated the Qin family's first day, and now he has reached the strength of the Cave Heaven Realm, his mentality is different.
At the moment, he looked elsewhere, briefly glanced at the audience, and found a few people with some good faces, who seemed to be students of the Immortal Academy.
The resources possessed by the four major families are still beyond reproach, and naturally there are many genius disciples, and it is not surprising that there are so many of them joining the Immortal Academy.
"Deva, why are you the patriarch?"
At this moment, an extremely unkind and rough voice sounded in vain, deliberately amplifying the volume, obviously coming to kick the field.
Du Ze smiled coldly, couldn't help but look over, and saw that this person was a middle-aged man with a slightly bloated figure, his position was arranged under the hosting platform, and he was pointing to Di Hua on the hosting platform at the moment, with no respect in his expression.
Di Hua said unhurriedly: "With the unanimous vote of the family elders, it has now been decided that I will take over the position of patriarch, cousin, don't make trouble, such a discord within the family, if the elders choose you, I will definitely support you with my heart." Besides, now that other families have also been invited, we are still fighting, isn't it a joke for outsiders? β
This is quite decent, so that outsiders can listen to it comfortably, not arrogant or impatient, and it is a good hint that he has the support of the elder group behind him.
"Whew!"
The bloated man roared, "The Elders vote? I think it's your secret operation, don't talk about anything else, what ability do you have to lead the Di family, and what do you have to convince the family? To be a patriarch is not only to have excellent strength, but also to have good management skills and external communication skills. β
At this time, another middle-aged man wearing a luxurious dress who looked graceful and elegant walked out and said: "The words are not coarse, even if the boss is a little irritable, but it is precisely this truth, what convincing thing do you have, second child?" β
After the elegant man finished speaking, a person wearing a gray suit, looking very ordinary, walked to the elegant man with a cold young man, patted the elegant man's shoulder and said: "Contemptible Liu Huade, a student of the Immortal Academy, a senior peep into the heavenly realm, is also a good friend of Di Tan, and he knows Di Tan, I believe that those who know him well know his ability to do things, and I first recommend him as the patriarch!" β
As soon as these words came out, the following will be discussed, the high-level peeping heaven realm will be greatly valued in any family.
After all, it is often supported by a high-level Heaven Seeping Realm, and it can even directly affect the change of the patriarch candidate.
Unexpectedly, the bloated man laughed wildly and said: "Gaga, fourth, don't think that you are the only one who invited you to the Peep Heaven Realm to support the field, my friend is also a Peep Heaven Realm, and even a disciple of the Minister of the Gene Department!" β
As he spoke, a burly man stood up and said, "Contemptible Deng Feng, disciple of the head of the genetic department, I would like to make a statement first, if anyone prevents my brother from becoming the patriarch, I will split him!" β
Suddenly, the audience stirred up a wave of discussion, and unexpectedly, even the minister's disciples came, and they were even strong members of the gene line.
Many small families are secretly envious, the Di family is worthy of being a big family, and each patriarch candidate has a strong social network.
Di Hua, who was standing on the presiding platform, did not have the slightest fear and looked at Du Ze.
Du Ze nodded, and walked over with Di Xue'er, Du Ze probably also saw that Di Hua's main opponents were two, and the two of them invited members of the Immortal Academy, one Liu Huade, one Deng Feng, and a member of the high-level Heaven Peering Realm, Du Ze didn't take it seriously.
Di Hua invited Du Ze to the stage and said tepidly: "Let me introduce you to you, this is my niece's male ...... Friend, Du Ze, a disciple of the head of the technical department. β
Before Di Va's words fell, the burly man Deng Feng shouted: "A newcomer to the Immortal Academy, who are you?" You think this is a Void Realm? β
He obviously didn't know what Du Ze was doing on the floating island, otherwise how could he dare to be so rampant.
Liu Huade also smiled and said: "Even if you are a disciple of the minister, as a newcomer, it is better not to be too lenient!" β
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and this meeting was no longer a competition for the position of the patriarch of the family, but a competition for the three major systems of the Arc de Triomphe.
Du Ze smiled faintly, picked up the microphone and said slowly: "The purpose of my coming here today is very simple, that is, to support Di Hua as the patriarch of the Di clan, and I don't want to see anyone oppose it!" β
"You're the oldest, get out of ...... for me"
