Chapter 333 Establish your authority!
"On your own?"
Ye Mu smiled knowingly, "Grandpa, you think so highly of me?"
"shit!"
Mu Haisheng laughed teasingly and said, "Grandpa is very realistic. If you weren't outstanding, I wouldn't be so protective of you."
"Then I will try my best to satisfy grandpa." Ye Mu showed his signature smile and followed Mu Haisheng into the front yard hall.
In the hall.
It's already crowded.
Tonight's dinner was ordered by the head of the Mu family, Mu Haisheng, himself. All direct and legitimate descendants of the Mu family have returned.
If you count carefully, there are about ninety people, including men, women, young and old.
From the hall to the front yard, there were ten round dining tables, on which fine wine and various delicacies were prepared.
When Mu Haisheng and Ye Mu came over, all the people who were whispering focused their attention on them.
"Now that everyone is here, I have something to announce."
Mu Haisheng looked around at everyone present, then looked at Mu Tingfeng and waved for him to come over.
Mu Tingfeng smiled sweetly and stood next to Mu Haisheng.
"My eldest daughter, Tingfeng, joined the army thirty-one years ago and later married Ye Wentian, the second son of the Ye family. Both of them were soldiers and tragically died while on a peacekeeping mission abroad twenty years ago."
"But fortunately, the young couple survived the disaster and finally returned home safely a few days ago." Every word Mu Haisheng said when introducing Mu Tingfeng was full of pride.
"Congratulations to the head of the family and his daughter on their reunion!"
Many family members smiled and were happy for Mu Haisheng.
Mu Haisheng smiled and pulled Ye Mu to his side. "He is my grandson, the child born to my daughter and Ye Wentian—Ye Mu!"
"Congratulations to the head of the family on the reunion of grandfather and grandson!"
Many family members congratulated again in unison.
They heard about these two things when they received the notice of the family dinner, and they did not come empty-handed, they all prepared gifts.
"Before we begin, I have an important announcement to make. Anyone with objections may raise them. No one will be allowed to speak after this deadline." Mu Haisheng looked meaningfully at each of the family members. "Anyone may raise them."
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and began to walk. "My Mu family is one of the ten most powerful families in the imperial capital. It has a history of 370 years, and it has been passed down to me for 13 generations."
No one knew what topic Mu Haisheng wanted to talk about, so they pricked up their ears to listen, and no one made a sound to interrupt him.
"Based on our family's current comprehensive strength, we already have the conditions to be promoted to an aristocratic family. Don't you agree?" Mu Haisheng said with a smile.
"Grandpa is right. Our Mu family covers finance, manufacturing, hotels, real estate, foundations and other industries. Our comprehensive strength is almost as strong as that of the aristocratic families!"
"Yes, the Mu family is definitely qualified to advance!"
"Master, let's seize this opportunity and fight for it. We support this major decision that will benefit future generations!"
“Yes, we support it!”
Everyone was excited and cheered.
Mu Haisheng stretched out his hand to calm them down, and the family members gradually calmed down.
"Since everyone agrees, let's try to get it." Mu Haisheng said, then looked at his eldest son. "Mu Lei, you cheered the loudest just now. I guess you have some good ideas?"
"Dad, whatever you say is what it is." Mu Lei immediately shook his head.
Mu Haisheng frowned. His eldest son was good in every way except that he was not very smart!
Immediately, he looked at his youngest son again and said, "Makino, tell me."
"Dad, even if our Mu family has the strength, given the current situation in the imperial capital, it's not suitable for us to fight for it yet. So I suggest we stay the same in the face of ever-changing circumstances." Muye explained with a serious look in his eyes, "There are more families than just our Mu family who want to become a noble family. When they're fighting tooth and nail, it will be much easier for us to take advantage of any opportunity."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mu Haisheng looked at Mu Ye with satisfaction, "Good boy, you are only thirty years old, yet you have such ambition. Your father is very satisfied."
After he said this, the boss Mu Lei just smiled, but Mu Lei's wife Chang Cuijuan's face suddenly froze.
She could tell that the old man was intentionally cultivating a successor!
But her man, Mu Lei, is completely stupid!
"Dad, I actually have an idea." Chang Cuijuan knew that her man was stupid, so she had to bite the bullet and do it herself.
"Tell me about it."
From Mu Haisheng's tone, it can be heard that he is not optimistic about Chang Cuijuan as a daughter-in-law.
"In fact, we can design a plan to let them fight each other, and we will reap the benefits." Chang Cuijuan suggested.
“No!”
Mu Haisheng frowned, "You'd better give up this idea immediately, otherwise you will definitely get into trouble!"
"Dad, why do you praise the second son's suggestion so much, but my suggestion is just asking for trouble?" Chang Cuijuan was very dissatisfied.
Mu Lei came over immediately and was about to take Chang Cuijuan away.
Mu Haisheng waved his hand to stop him. "Daughter-in-law, although your suggestion is similar to Mu Ye's, his suggestion has no substantive impact on our Mu family. And your suggestion is the mastermind of our Mu family. Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
"I……"
Chang Cuijuan wanted to say something but stopped herself. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that Mu Haisheng's answer was reasonable, so she shut her mouth and said nothing.
"Moreover, if we follow your plan, our Mu family will not only bring disaster upon ourselves, but it is also very likely that our three hundred years of foundation will be destroyed. By then, you will be the sinner of the family." Mu Haisheng glared at Chang Cuijuan.
"Dad, my wife is a young woman and doesn't know much. Please don't be angry. We promise to never mention this matter again." Mu Lei smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Keep an eye on your wife from now on. If she does anything that is detrimental to the Mu family, she should move out and be self-reliant." Mu Haisheng glared at Mu Lei with disappointment.
Mu Lei nodded hurriedly.
"Muye's suggestion is feasible, but there is still one condition missing." Mu Haisheng looked around at everyone and continued.
"Master, whatever conditions you have, just tell us. With so many elites in our family, we guarantee that we can complete them."
"Old man, please just tell us directly. We can't wait any longer."
"Hahahaha..." Mu Haisheng laughed when he heard the crowd's cheers, "In fact, our Mu family has a master like my grandson Ye Mu who can shoulder great responsibilities."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.
It is no secret that the Mu family's biggest weakness is the lack of experts.
Moreover, the Mu family’s funds and industries have already met the standards, but they lack experts, which is why they have always been among the top ten wealthy families and cannot enjoy the various treatments that only aristocratic families can have.
For example, the industrial chain provided by the state, various scarce prosperous lands, etc.
"Grandpa, we admit that our family lacks experts, but your grandson is so young, and yet he's already an expert?"
Everyone agreed that it was true that the family lacked experts, but no one believed that Ye Mu was an expert.
"Yes, Patriarch, Ye Mu is only in his twenties. Even if he is a master, can he be better than us?" Several middle-aged young men who followed Mu Haisheng to learn martial arts since childhood came out one by one.
"Although our strength is not yet ranked among the best in the imperial capital, we have reason to believe that we will definitely be above Ye Mu."
Someone else stood up and spoke.
Moreover, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Mu at this time, and there was no sign of any master's aura on him, so no one was willing to believe it.
There were even many people who once believed that Mu Haisheng was deliberately making such a big statement because he loved his grandson and wanted to use this opportunity to help Ye Mu take the position.
"My dear uncles, my dear brothers and sisters, if anyone has any doubts about me, please stand up and we can discuss it on the spot until it's over."
Ye Mu understood that it was his turn to perform.
In fact, even if no one questioned him, he wanted to establish his authority here and make those guys who despised his mother look at her in a new light.
