"Xiao Chen, you need to think this through."
Su Ningshuang's father spoke earnestly.
Although he also very much wanted to directly appoint Ning Shuang as the next head of the Su family, the consequences of doing so would be too severe.
If not handled properly, it could lead to serious problems!
"Xiao Chen, if the problem gets serious, all the other wealthy families in Hangzhou might unite to deal with our Su family and with you."
This is what Su Ningshuang's father is most worried about.
It wouldn't matter if it were just one wealthy family, but if all the wealthy families in Hangzhou united, it would be a tremendous force that the Su family alone could not possibly withstand.
And even if Xiao Chen knows Boss Ma, it won't make a difference.
Xiao Chen and Boss Ma have no direct business relationship; they are just ordinary friends. It will be a real situation when the wealthy families of Hangzhou unite to deal with them.
Mr. Ma probably wouldn't risk going against all the wealthy families in Hangzhou just for Xiao Chen's sake; the risk is too great!
"So what if they unite?"
Ye Chen gave a calm reply.
If all the wealthy families in Hangzhou had joined forces to deal with them before the winter break, it might have been a little troublesome.
However, as the holiday came to an end, Ye Chen's status and position were elevated once again.
Even if all the wealthy families in Hangzhou united, so what?!
Ye Chen could easily "suppress" them with just one hand!
"Let's talk about it later, so as not to cause trouble."
Su Ningshuang looked at Ye Chen and said gently.
Although she also wanted to become the next heir of the Su family, she would rather not if it meant putting Ye Chen and her father at risk of going against all the wealthy families in Hangzhou.
She didn't want Ye Chen to be in any danger.
"Ning Shuang, trust me, there will be no risk."
Ye Chen gently comforted him.
If the enemy were to confront a coalition of powerful families in Beijing, the risk would indeed be enormous. But this is a powerful family in Hangzhou, and with Ye Chen's current strength, he can completely overwhelm them all.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Grandpa Su made the final decision.
"Grandpa Su, I have a suggestion."
Ye Chen thought for a moment and then offered his suggestion.
"Oh, what suggestion do you have, Xiao Chen?"
Grandpa Su listened attentively.
"Since you've already made up your mind, Grandpa Su, why wait another two weeks?"
"Instead of waiting half a month, let's hold a family meeting tomorrow and invite the other wealthy families in Hangzhou, as well as the city's tycoons and important figures."
Ye Chen analyzed the situation for Grandpa Su.
"We'll cut to the chase and confirm the identity of Ning Shuang, the heir of the Su family, so that these powerful families won't have time to prepare anything."
"This is more efficient and faster."
Now that the decision has been made, let's implement it immediately. Why wait?!
What's the benefit of waiting?
On the contrary, if too much time passes, it will be troublesome if those wealthy families get the news in advance and prepare some measures.
That makes sense.
After Ye Chen finished speaking, Grandpa Su clapped his hands.
Xiao Chen is absolutely right.
"It's settled then, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Grandpa Su made his decision.
That very evening, Old Master Su had invitations prepared and sent to all the wealthy families, important figures, and tycoons in Hangzhou.
The Su family also began making anxious preparations.
The following afternoon, all the direct descendants of the Su family arrived, and the wealthy and powerful families of Hangzhou also gradually arrived.
The first wealthy family from Hangzhou to arrive was the Ning family.
This refers to the Ning family, who had a good relationship with Ye Chen when he was in Hangzhou, and who took the initiative to stand by Ye Chen's side when Ye Chen had a conflict with the Zhao family.
When the old master of the Ning family learned that Ye Chen was coming, he brought his men over early.
"Mr. Ye, it's been a long time."
Grandpa Ning took the initiative to come over and greet Ye Chen.
"Oh, it's Grandpa Ning, hello, hello............."
Ye Chen responded politely.
"Nephew Su, haven't you been the head of the Su family for long? Why is your Su family suddenly holding such a big meeting and inviting us all here?"
"Old Master Ning asked curiously."
The invitations sent by the Su family did not specify what they were invited to do; they only said that there was an important matter and they hoped the family would come to witness it.
"Our Su family has a decision to announce, which is why we invited everyone here."
Ye Chen's answer was pointed.
"Understood."
"No matter what decision the Su family makes, our Ning family will definitely support them. Our two families are staunch allies."
Grandpa Ning made a statement.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Ye Chen was quite clear about Old Master Ning's character.
Now that Old Master Ning has made his stance clear, even if he knows that the Su family intends to designate Ning Shuang as the next heir, other wealthy families will object.
The Ning family will absolutely not ally with other families; at most, they will simply not get involved in the conflicts between the Su family and other wealthy clans.
The Ning family, a wealthy family in Hangzhou, has been won over.
While Ye Chen was chatting with Old Master Ning, other heads of wealthy families and important figures from Hangzhou arrived one after another.
"Xiao Chen, we need to be wary of the three powerful families: the Luo family, the Dong family, and the Cui family."
Su Ningshuang's father came over and whispered to Ye Chen.
After saying that, Su Ningshuang's father pointed out the heads of the three powerful families to Ye Chen.
The heads of the Luo and Dong families and Old Master Su were about the same age, all in their sixties or seventies, while the head of the Cui family was a middle-aged man who had only recently become the head of the family.
These three families are among the top and most powerful families in Hangzhou. Moreover, the heads of these three families are all very old-fashioned. They are similar to the former Old Master Su and do not value the women in their families.
Once the Su family makes the announcement, these three major families will definitely oppose it fiercely.
"Just those three families?"
Ye Chen countered with a question.
"Of course there are more."
Su Ningshuang's father nodded, then turned around and began to introduce the others to Ye Chen.
