When the eldest grandson was still looking for a way out in the Heavenly Palace, Lu Xiaoran and the others outside were also in trouble.

Lu Xiaoran and the others rushed back to Lieyang City from Tianjiao City, and thousands of people who got the news rushed to Yulin Courtyard overnight.

didn't give Lu Xiaoran a chance to greet her, and she cut to the chase as soon as she entered the door.

"You're back, you don't know how I've spent these three months."

didn't wait for Lu Xiaoran to reply, "We are also having a very bad time". Wan Wanqian continued to say to himself.

"I'm busy with the trading house and the No. 1 mine, so let's not talk about it, the key is that the wind direction has suddenly changed here in the academy for some reason."

"Changed? What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoran didn't care about resting, and seeing that one or two sentences should not be clear, he sat down at the table and prepared to learn more about the changes in the academy and the business house in the past three months.

"In the past few days, I have been working in the agency, and I have not only encountered a lot of inexplicable resistance, but also heard a lot of rumors."

"What did you say?"

"Many, some of them are speculations that the academy is about to give up on rescuing the two deans and is already about to start selecting the next dean!"

Lu Xiaoran's face was a little heavy, and he was about to start considering candidates before the body was found, although he also understood that this was the top priority, but because of the eldest grandson, he couldn't accept it in his heart.

"What else?" Lu Xiaoran asked.

"There are also some people who are the most angry, saying "The good days of your Wanyuan Commercial Bank are over", "There is no Dean Wu to support you, see how majestic you are". Anyway, I want to give them two punches."

Lu Xiaoran said in a deep voice, "Are they already so blatant?"

"Hmm."

On the way back, Lu Xiaoran began to think that the academy withdrew the rescue team, basically announcing that they had admitted that the two deans were killed. Then the next move of the college must be to select the candidate to be the dean.

Originally, this kind of thing had no impact on their students, but now the Youth School and the academy have a lot of cooperation projects, and they are all big projects with a lot of oil and water, and there are many people who are red-eyed.

In this way, the selection of the next dean is very crucial for the youth faction.

Lu Xiaoran asked, "Who is the possible candidate now?"

"At present, the most popular candidates are Honorary Dean Yang Fang and Director Duan Zhenbiao of the Faculty Office."

"Which of these two will be in our best interest?"

Hearing this, Wan Wan thought for a moment and said, "No matter who it is, it is not good for us."

"Duan Zhenbiao, the director of the Faculty Office, is a well-known corrupt official in the academy, if it is just that, it will be easy for us, as long as he is willing to bid, I can settle it."

"But... Do you still remember the old men you saw on the third floor of Tianxuan Pavilion when the No. 1 mine issued an urgent mission?"

Lu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand why Wan Wanqian suddenly talked about that urgent mission again.

"I remember Dean Wu, an Elder Li who was in charge of Tianxuan Pavilion, and ...... An Elder Bai who seems to be in charge of the teachers."

Thousands of people clapped their hands and said, "Yes, it's this Elder Bai."

"At that time, it was clear that he was unwilling to send teachers to the No. 1 mine to rescue, so he let you young people get into danger. As a result, after you came back, you gained fame and fortune, especially the eldest grandson who overrode the public opinion on the school committee and won the project of No. 1 mine. This made Duan Zhenbiao, the director of the Teachers' Office, red-eyed, and called Elder Bai over to split his head and cover his face."

"What about this Elder Bai, it's not a thing, he turned around and bit you, insisting that at the meeting of Tianxuan Pavilion that day, he fought with reason, and in the end, you took away the rescue mission, all of which was planned by you and Dean Wu a long time ago."

"Therefore, this Director Duan blamed us for everything, and Wanyuan Commercial Bank was also remembered by him."

Lu Xiaoran nodded, he now needs to have a preliminary understanding of the attitudes of these two candidates, and then find a good target to focus on.

Wan Wanqian kept frowning, and it seemed that these things had been weighing him down for a long time: "As for this House of Honor

Changyang Fang is not good at stubble, it is said that he is very close to Dean Xia of the Wuzi Academy, it is a battle line, and Elder Lan, who is eager to put the eldest grandson to death at the public trial meeting, is his right-hand man."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran knew that it was useless to win over this Yang Fang, how embarrassed Elder Lan was by the eldest grandson at the public trial meeting, he witnessed it, such an excellent opportunity for revenge, Elder Lan would definitely not let it go.

After hearing this, Lu Xiaoran couldn't help but frown, it was really a tricky matter.

Lu Xiaoran thought about it and felt that the possibility of conquering these two people was very small, even if he barely succeeded in the end, the price he paid would inevitably be huge.

"Isn't there any other candidate?"

Wan Wanqian thought for a moment, patted his head and said, "There is another person, Guo Zhengde!"

"Guo Zhengde?" Lu Xiaoran was stunned.

"Yes, there is also speculation that Guo Zhengde may be on the throne this time. I heard that Guo Zhengde just broke through to the mortal realm last month!"

"Breakthrough?" Lu Xiaoran was taken aback, the martial artists on the mainland presented a typical pyramid structure, and the higher the martial artists, the smaller the number of martial artists. If there is a chasm between the realm of the sorcerer and the realm of the emperor, then what the realm of the emperor crosses from the realm of the mortal is a moat. :

And Guo Zhengde was able to step into the realm of mortals before the age of forty, which cannot be called a demon, but it can also be called extraordinary.

"Yes, his breakthrough surprised many people, so everyone is sure that Guo Zhengde's promotion this time is certain. Moreover, Guo Zhengde has made great achievements in the position of chief of finance, and there is nothing to say about ability, the only thing is that his qualifications are not as good as those two old guys."

"If I'm not mistaken, it was the matter of Mine 1 at the time, but he was also a big obstacle for us." Lu Xiaoran didn't understand why Wanqian would think that Guo Zhengde would be a better choice.

After all, Guo Zhengde was also stuck with them in the matter of No. 1 Mine at that time, and the eldest grandson was looking for his old friend to blow the pillow wind at that time, although it was not an obvious threat to Guo Zhengde, but how could such an old fritter not guess the intention of the eldest grandson.

This kind of relationship shouldn't be a pleasant one.

Speaking of this, Wan Wan Qian came to the heart, "You all know that the eldest grandson went to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to find Hua Hongluo, and asked Guo Zhengde's good friend to blow the pillow wind on him, but you don't know that there will be a follow-up."

"What's next?"

"Yes, in order to make up for Guo Zhengde's unhappiness, the eldest grandson gave Guo Zhengde another big gift. He ransomed Guo Zhengde's friendship from the Red Sleeve Pavilion and arranged it in Blazing City, and Guo Zhengde no longer played the trick of changing the tanuki for the prince to go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion, but went to the No. 1 mine to investigate the project, and went directly to the Blazing City to get along."

Even Lu Xiaoran was a little shocked when these words came out, you must know that the Red Sleeve Pavilion is not so easy to let go.

"How did the eldest grandson do it?" Lu Xiaoran asked.

"Are you also surprised, I heard that the eldest grandson and the Red Sleeve Pavilion have negotiated an alliance, saying that after the completion of the new world in the future, an intelligence system will be tailored for the Red Sleeve Pavilion. You say it's magical, the new world is still a shadow, and the eldest grandson relied on painting a big pie to pull such a big ally." Thousands of exclaimed.

Lu Xiaoran shook his head and said, "Eldest grandson, this is not a big pie, but a real promise, and this promise will definitely come true."

"Of course I believe that the eldest grandson is capable of this. Let's talk about Guo Zhengde's incident, that's not the end, and then the eldest grandson asked through Guo Zhengde's friendliness why Guo Zhengde stuck me."

"It's because his wife, Tian Energy, also has ideas about the No. 1 mine and wants to put pressure on us through Guo Zhengde."

Lu Xiaoran of Tian's Energy knows that his influence in the Southern Region is still very large.

"After the eldest grandson found out, he went to the Tian family alone, not only did he not have a quarrel with the Tian family, but he negotiated a deal with them. The part of the Fire Spirit Mine produced by Mine 1 was distributed to the Academy and handed over to Tian's Energy Processing and Refining."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoran knew that part of the fire spirit ore produced by No. 1 Mine was distributed to the academy, and the other part was owned by Wanyuan Commercial Bank, and the processing and refining of this part of the ore was handed over to Lu Liang Commercial Bank.

"It's because of this project that we make

Tian's Energy successfully got involved in the business of the college, and the two companies have cooperated more and more since then. This also makes Guo Zhengde, who is the son-in-law of the Tian family, rise in the academy."

"This is why some people speculate that Guo Zhengde will become the next dean, after all, most of the businesses involved in his wife's family are related to resources."

Lu Xiaoran nodded, in this case, Guo Zhengde is indeed a good candidate.

"I think so, thanks to the eldest grandson. I really can't figure out how such a young young man as Changsun can do things so thoroughly and comprehensively. It's ......."

"By the way, patronizing me about it, what about you? What about the eldest grandson? Did you find it?" I didn't think of this stubble until now.

Lu Xiaoran shook his head.

"Then why are you all back, and continue to look for it? Not saved?" Thousands of people suddenly felt a little anxious when they heard this.

Lu Xiaoran looked up at the thousands of thousands and said, "The hope of finding is too slim, we can't all be wasted there, and the results we have obtained here can't be abandoned halfway!"

Wan Wanqian was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Yes, you are right. Before leaving, the eldest grandson also told me that I should be patient and flexible in case of trouble, and we must focus on the overall situation, and first of all, we must protect the hard-won achievements of Wanyuan Commercial Bank."

Lu Xiaoran was silent after hearing this.

"I believe that the eldest grandson, the kid, Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be able to come out on his own." Wan Wan said with certainty.

Lu Xiaoran's eyes were also firm, and he said, "Yes, so our top priority now is to solve the matter in front of us!"

Wan Wanqian nodded, and then continued with the topic just now.

"Guo Zhengde and us are basically grasshoppers on a rope now, if those two old guys become the deans of the Instrument Academy, he will also be unhappy, so we don't need to win him over at all."

"The difficulty now is how we can help him get to the top."

Lu Xiaoran nodded, "Well, his qualifications are the biggest shortcoming, but as far as I know, he has also acted in the position of vice president for a short time, which can barely be regarded as making up for the work experience of the vice president, so it is not impossible to jump to the position of the dean."

"But there's another problem, he doesn't really want to be the head of the Academy." Wanwan said with some worry.

"Why? To avoid suspicion?" Lu Xiaoran asked.

"Well, you also know that he pays the most attention to his own reputation, and he is afraid that people will say that he relies on his wife's family to rise to the top and become a tool for his wife's family to earn money from the academy. At the same time, I am afraid that I will jump directly to the position of dean, which is too high-profile."

Lu Xiaoran scoffed at Guo Zhengde's mentality.

"Then it's up to him!"
