The Ning family's mansion, the council hall.

Ning Zehui, Ning Chongyun and other family elders, as well as Ning Huai, Ning Chengqian and other family directors, arrived one after another.

"Patriarch, are you back?"

"Patriarch Qufeng, you went to the county town this time, but you stayed for a few months!"

“……”

When the elders and supervisors of the Ning family saw Ning Qufeng, who had just returned to the family from the county town, they naturally greeted him warmly.

Great Elder Ning Zehui said with a smile: "Seeing the patriarch's happy face, it should have brought back good news." ”

"That's what the Great Elder said."

"As soon as the patriarch returned, he summoned us all, haha......"

Several elders and supervisors all followed Ning Zehui's words.

Ning Qufeng smiled and stood up from his seat, his gaze slowly turning around.

After a while, he spoke: "Everyone, our Jiangbei Chengning family, and the cooperation with the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce in the county town have been reached. Dongfu Chamber of Commerce agreed to open a branch in Jiangbei City, and our Ningjia can account for half of the branch. There is only one condition for the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce, and the daily operation of the branch must be responsible for the daily operation of the branch. ”

Dongfu Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Lingnan County, and its business even extends to other counties outside Lingnan County.

It is also of great significance for the Ning family to cooperate with the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce, although it is only to open a branch in Jiangbei City. For the Ning family, this cooperation may push the family to a new level.

In the past few months that Ning Qufeng has been in the county town, he has mainly negotiated cooperation with the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce.

When everyone in the council hall heard Ning Qufeng's words, they were all slightly stunned at first, and then they all showed happy expressions on their faces.

This is very exciting news.

Second Elder Ning Chongyun said in an excited tone: "If we can cooperate with the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce to open a branch, our Ning family will become the first family in Jiangbei City, just around the corner!" ”

The third elder, Ning Huashan, also narrowed his eyes and said, "Being able to negotiate this cooperation with the Eastern Rich Merchants is all the credit of the patriarch." ”

The fifth elder, Ning Chaobo, laughed and said, "The Zhu family, the Liu family, and the Su family, how can they be compared with our Ning family in the future?" ”

The whole hall was filled with joy.

Ning Qufeng pressed his hand, and said slowly: "Everyone, we still have a lot of things to prepare for next. It is not a trivial matter for Dongfu Chamber of Commerce to open a branch in Jiangbei City. We, the Ning family, must do our best to cooperate. ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Patriarch, rest assured, this matter is related to the future development of our Jiangbei City Ning family, whoever dares to slack off, I will not be the first to agree." Great Elder Ning Zehui's face sank and said.

"Wait for the headquarters of the Dongfu Chamber of Commerce to send someone over, and we will do our best to assist. Give the land to the land, and ask the people to give to it. The Fourth Elder said.

Ning Qufeng also nodded and said: "The Dongfu Chamber of Commerce, as soon as within a month, will send someone to Jiangbei City to do the preliminary deployment work. The relationship on the City Lord's Mansion side may need our Ning family to be responsible for dredging. ”

Holding a branch meeting in Jiangbei City, the City Lord's Mansion is undoubtedly unavoidable.

The Ning family is a big clan in Jiangbei City, and it is their responsibility to dredge up the obstacles and obstacles that may exist in the city lord's mansion.

After this huge piece of good news was announced, Patriarch Ning Qufeng changed his words and said slowly: "Some time ago, the six universities should hold a new university recruitment conference in Jiangbei City, right?" ”

The children of the family entering the six universities to practice is also a major event related to the clan.

As the patriarch of the family, of course you have to care about this matter.

During this year's school recruitment conference, he happened to go to Lingnan County and missed watching the performance of the children of the Ning family on the spot.

Now that I have returned to the family, I want to ask about the specific situation and find out if any of the children of the Ning family have been successfully recruited into the six universities to practice this year.

Ning Huashan answered: "At this year's school recruitment conference, Ning Zhao, a child of my Ning family, was elected to Zhengyuan Academy. ”

Zhengyuan University is a second-rate university in Lingnan County, second only to Xingnan University.

"Ning Zhao?" Ning Qufeng was slightly stunned.

All of a sudden, he didn't remember who Ning Zhao was.

After a while, he suddenly remembered, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Is it Ning Zhao who was under house arrest in a small town by the clan rules?" ”

Ning Chongyun nodded and said, "Yes, it's this kid." Patriarch, in the past three years, Ning Zhao's martial arts cultivation has not fallen. When he participated in the academy recruitment conference, he was already in the realm of the Nine Heavens of Martial Arts. After passing the Purgatory Stone Will Assessment, he was recruited by the Zhengyuan Academy, and now he is a disciple of the Academy. ”

Great Elder Ning Zehui said: "Since there is no suitable candidate in the clan this year, I summoned Ning Zhao back and gave him the quota of the family's academy recruitment conference. This son's performance did not live up to the trust of the family. ”

The children of the family were recruited into the school to practice, which was an honor for the Ning family, so although Ning Zehui didn't like Ning Zhao, he also spoke for him at this time.

Ning Qufeng said: "That's good. ”

After a pause, he asked again, "What about this kid Ning Yan?" He didn't attend the recruiting conference? ”

Listening to Ning Qufeng's mention of Ning Yan, Ning Zehui and the others' expressions changed slightly.

Patriarch Ning Qufeng didn't know that Ning Yan had been expelled from the family by the Great Elder.

Ning Huashan said: "Ning Yan was recruited to practice at Yangding Academy through the academy recruitment conference. However, his entry into the academy to practice has little to do with our Ning family. He had already been expelled from the family before the academy recruiting conference. ”

Ning Qufeng frowned and said, "I was expelled from the family, why is this?" ”

Ning Zehui's face sank, and he said coldly: "This son has no respect for the elders, and he openly provokes the authority of the elders. So, I expelled him from the Ning family! ”

Ning Huashan glanced at the Great Elder, and then said to Ning Qufeng: "Ning Yan wants to move his mother's tomb from the Huailin cemetery to the family ancestral mausoleum for burial. Because the Great Elder did not allow it, he was emotional, and verbally contradicted the Great Elder. ”

He continued: "Ning Yan's place to participate in the academy recruitment conference was won by Li Yunqi, the owner of Jiutu Fang. It is said that his performance at the academy recruitment conference was very good, and all the new elders of the six universities were very surprised, and the great elder was on the scene at the time, so he should know better. ”

Ning Zehui snorted coldly with a dark face, and said disapprerovingly: "It's just that you have entered Yangding Academy, what is it?" Today's Yangding School has long since declined. It may not be long before it is outlawed. Six universities will become five universities! ”

Ning Qufeng looked at the Great Elder Ning Zehui.

Expelling a child who had been recruited into the Six Universities and expelled him from the family, he felt that this move was a bit reckless.

Although Yangding Academy has declined, it is not easy to enter it. There are so many young martial artists in Jiangbei City, how many of them can be recruited into Yangding Academy?

As for whether the academy will be banned, that is not something that the Ning family should consider.

If Ning Yan hadn't been expelled from the family, then this year, there would be two children of the Ning family who would have entered the Six Universities to practice, what a glory would this be?

It's just that......

Things have already happened, and it is not good for him to directly refute Ning Zehui in front of so many people.
