In the Feng family manor in the central Weiyang District, Feng Xuehan took a final look at the list of people invited to tomorrow's banquet, and asked the Feng family's direct descendants sitting next to him.
"Everything has been basically arranged. Fengzi has been picked up from outside and brought home early tonight. She has been very obedient and has not put up any resistance."
One of Feng Xuehan's younger brothers spoke up and gave a reply, which made him nod in satisfaction.
"I know Fengzi better than you do. She seems to have a stubborn temper, but that's only in the things she cares about. If you let her get married in the future and just stay at home to take care of her husband and children, and can no longer go to the laboratory to do research, this will really make her rebound."
"But now we are just letting her get married, and she can also inherit a Heavenly Chosen Power, so she can continue her research better. This does not violate anything she cares about, but is actually helping her. Of course, she will not have such a strong rebellious mentality."
The atmosphere of this family meeting was not very serious. On the contrary, Feng Zi's engagement was a happy event. Even according to the family tree, Feng Xuecheng had been expelled from the Feng family when he was in the central government. Although Feng Zi was his daughter, she was not considered a member of the Feng family.
But rules are dead, but people are alive. The Feng family has decided that after Feng Zi gets engaged and takes over the power of the Chosen One, she will be included in the family tree again. Of course, they will not add Feng Xuecheng's name and put her at the bottom. Instead, they plan to add her name directly to Feng Xuehan's branch, which is equivalent to the elder brother's daughter being adopted by the younger brother.
They have not yet told Fengzi about this matter, and have never considered whether Fengzi agrees or not.
Because in their opinion, allowing Feng Zi to return to the Feng family tree is a great blessing to her branch. She has no reason to disagree, and she is not qualified to disagree.
But in the midst of chatting and laughing, Feng Ping still reminded his father.
"But last year we didn't expect Fengzi to go to Taiyang and actually want to take away everything that Uncle left there, and cause such a big fuss. This was beyond our expectations. She has never done anything radical like this before. Now she seems a little too submissive. We should be more careful tomorrow."
Feng Xuehan smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry. Even if she is just a little girl, once she becomes the Chosen One, no one in the family can control her by force except your grandfather. And she is your uncle's daughter, so I will certainly be on guard against her doing anything that might harm the family. Do you remember the dozen or so children I asked them to pick up from an orphanage three years ago?"
Feng Ping was stunned for a moment, then he recalled.
"Those children my uncle once adopted?"
"Fengzi has a deep relationship with them. In her eyes, none of you can be considered her brothers and sisters. Only those people can be considered her brothers and sisters. Ever since I asked you to hide them, Fengzi has been looking for them all these years, but she has never been able to find them. With these children in our hands, she dare not do anything extreme. Like her father, Fengzi takes some unnecessary people too seriously. The more such people are, the easier it is to control them."
At this point, he glanced at his son Feng Ping, and his voice became somewhat disappointed.
"If you could have won the Chosen One at the Institute of Physics, you would have been qualified to win it! But you and your brothers and sisters are all useless. Not to mention being qualified to be the Chosen One, there are not even many who can become scientists! Now we can only give it to Fengzi, and we have to work hard to figure out how to control her!"
Feng Ping showed an embarrassed smile on his face.
"It's okay, Dad. Liu Shenghua and I have a good relationship. After he gets engaged to Fengzi, we will become a family. I will be able to control Fengzi through him."
"For the time being, keep Feng Zi a secret about what you normally do outside and the family's private business. When the situation gradually stabilizes, she will know when she should know."
"Understood."
"Okay, let's all get some rest and get ready for tomorrow. No accidents can happen at the engagement party."
At the same time, in the room specially prepared for Feng Zi by the Feng family.
Fengzi also sat quietly in front of the dressing mirror. She did not turn on the light, but just silently looked at herself in the mirror through the darkness.
Time passed minute by minute, and she just sat there quietly until the sky began to dawn. Feng Ping's wife, who was also her nominal sister-in-law, knocked on the door and walked in.
Looking at the graceful figure sitting in front of the dressing table, this woman, who also came from a large central family, was obviously a little surprised.
"Look, look, they always say that their sister doesn't care about anyone or anything other than experiments, but did any of them see that our Xiaozi got up early today to prepare?"
She seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Fengzi, but in fact, from beginning to end, Fengzi had only seen her three times, and this was the third time.
This person was obviously a very sociable person, the type that Fengzi rejected and disliked, but at this time, there was no sign of impatience on her face.
She just turned her head calmly and took a look at the top styling team from the central government who were waiting outside behind her.
Her voice was soft enough for Feng Ping's wife to hear, but it was more like she was talking to herself.
Those professional stylists bowed to her at the door, and then came to Fengzi with all kinds of bottles and jars, large and small. In front of the dressing table, they added the icing on the cake to her face, which never wore any makeup.
On the other side of the city, Levi had just gotten up and was standing in front of the mirror, brushing his teeth while looking at the invitation that was delivered to his door by the city courier yesterday.
Not being able to tell what was on the invitation, Levi asked into the air after rinsing his mouth and washing up.
"Have you determined how many chosen ones will be attending the engagement party today?"
"A total of 39 selected people from the central government received the invitation. Six of them did not respond due to special work conditions, eight declined due to their positions, and 15 congratulated the Feng family and said that they would let other people in the family attend on their behalf. The remaining 10 selected people will be present on the day."
"At the same time, the Institute of Physics completed the internal approval yesterday, officially confirming that the authority of the Chosen One related to physics gravity that had been inherited by the Institute of Physics would be transferred to Tianen Company, and designated to be inherited by Miss Fengzi. The time is set at today's engagement banquet."
"The Feng family's other Chosen One, Miss Feng Zi's grandfather, is still at the Feng family's ancestral home and has not shown any intention of attending the engagement banquet. According to these calculations, plus Miss Feng Zi who will inherit the authority at the engagement banquet, there will be a total of 11 Chosen Ones present."
Hearing this number, Levi couldn't help but smack his lips.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The Feng family is not just the chosen family. It also owns a considerable portion of the shares of Tianen Company and is also the founding shareholder of this behemoth.
So now that Feng Zi is engaged, and at the same time a chosen power is inherited by the Feng family, quite a lot of big names have been invited to such an event.
Chosen by Heaven, these people who are detached from the mundane world, usually do not participate in any political affairs or business, and represent the basic order of the world, there are still quite a number of them who are willing to give face to the Feng family and set aside half a day just to attend an engagement party.
This is enough to demonstrate the influence of the Feng family, not to mention the political figures who will come tonight.
Fengzi's surname is Feng, but the person who gave birth to her is the current Minister of Finance of the Cabinet, and her grandfather is the former Prime Minister.
Not to mention the Feng family, just her mother's connections in the cabinet meant that quite a lot of big shots were destined to attend the banquet, and Liu Shenghua's father was also a powerful figure in the cabinet.
This engagement party was an upper-class dinner gathering more than 80 percent of the central government’s senior officials.
Even the emperor in the Weiyang Pavilion personally wrote a congratulatory letter and asked his two princes to bring it to the banquet.
Looking at the list of guests for the dinner, Levi stroked his chin and couldn't help but sigh.
There are too many Chosen Ones here today, so he obviously cannot be so unscrupulous. However, there are also many politicians who are powerful but just ordinary people. With so many Chosen Ones here, the security on the scene is just a formality at best. As long as he can get in, it will be very easy for him to carry out an assassination.
Levi was not idle during the day. After all, it was a high-class banquet, so he had to prepare a piece of clothing that could hold up to the occasion.
As the sky gradually darkened, luxury cars had already lined up from the foot of Takiming Mountain, where the Feng family manor was located, to the entrance of the manor's garage.
Each of them can be said to be a well-known big shot in the central government, with big capital. Some of them can influence the development policy of the entire underground human race. With a slight stomp of their feet, millions of people will be affected. Some of them have companies and industries spread across the east and west regions. With a light word, countless families can be displaced.
And now, all these people have gathered in the Feng family's manor, not only to attend an engagement party for a younger generation, but also to witness the change of basic rules and powers, as well as the announcement that Tian'en, the representative of a huge force in the central government, will be completely tied together with some people in the cabinet.
Just before the grand dinner began, in Fengzi's room, she stared at herself in the mirror, dressed up more beautiful than ever, so beautiful that it was almost unreal, and slowly stood up from her chair.
The tight-fitting evening dress brought out her slender and well-proportioned figure, but she still had that cold and hard expression that made it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
At the same time, the young man in a brand new suit handed the invitation in his hand to the respectful waiter beside him. He looked at the big shots around him who were well-dressed but had inhuman heads with a smile on his face.
It's like an experienced hunter observing the prey in the hunting ground.
