"There are also the Gu family and the Pang family. Although they are a little weaker than the Dong family, they are still powerful families in Hangzhou."
Su Ningshuang's father then introduced Ye Chen to two other wealthy families in Hangzhou.
"However, the heads of the Gu and Pang families are both humble and good people, so they probably won't cause trouble."
"But if it's the Dong family and the Luo family who are instigating it together, then it's hard to say what will happen to these two families."
Su Ningshuang's father also had some concerns about these two families.
They are considered a destabilizing factor.
"I see, they're probably just opportunists."
Ye Chen spoke.
Being a fence-sitter is even simpler, and there's even less to worry about.
If Ye Chen can intimidate the Dong family, Luo family, and Cui family, he won't need to worry about the other two; they will probably bow down on their own.
As for the Dong family and the other two families, Ye Chen also has a way to deal with them.
While Grandpa Su was sending people to arrange the invitations last night, Ye Chen was also busy.
Ye Chen sent a message directly to his private detective agency, Tianxia Wuzong, asking them to gather important information and secrets about several wealthy families in Hangzhou and send them to him.
The headquarters of the Wuzong Private Detective Agency is located in Hangzhou, and they are very clear about the secrets of these major wealthy families.
Not long after, Ye Chen saw a document.
After reading it, Ye Chen already had a clear understanding of the situation.
Moreover, helping the Su family solve this problem will not only allow them to cultivate Ning Shuang into a billionaire heiress, but they might also be able to successfully complete the challenge and receive extra rewards.
Ye Chen was looking forward to what good things the game would reward him with after his luck value increased and he triggered extra rewards.
At the scene, Grandpa Su looked around and, after finding that everyone had arrived, called Ye Chen over and asked him to sit with him in the front.
Today, he and Ye Chen are here to "take charge".
When they saw Old Master Su invite a young man to the front, the heads of the other wealthy families and important figures in Hangzhou immediately started discussing it.
Most of them guessed Ye Chen's identity, knowing that Ye Chen was the legendary, very capable, and very promising grandson-in-law of the Su family.
"Everyone, please be quiet..."
Old Master Su stood up, exchanged a few polite words, and then got to the point:
"Everyone is here. I want you all to witness that I plan to hand over all other rights of the family to my son, Su Shengzhi, and give full control of the Su family to Su Shengzhi. I will step down from the front line, stop worrying about family affairs, and retire."
Grandpa Su started by talking about something relatively calm.
"no problem."
"We have all witnessed this. Congratulations to Patriarch Su."
"Congratulations, Patriarch Su..."
No one present objected to this, and they all congratulated Su Ning Shuang's father, Su Sheng Zhi. The heads of the Dong and Luo families also wore smiles.
The scene erupted in noise and excitement.
"Secondly, I hereby announce that from today onwards, the next head of the Su family will be my granddaughter, Su Ningshuang, who will be the heir to the Su family."
Grandpa Su suddenly spoke loudly.
In an instant, the once noisy Su family council hall fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone looked astonished, including Old Master Ning.
The smiles on the faces of the heads of the Dong and Luo families, in particular, froze.
"Brother Su, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. What did you just announce?"
The old patriarch of the Dong family, who was older than Old Master Su, squinted and asked Old Master Su a question.
“I said that from now on, my granddaughter Su Ningshuang will be the next head of our Su family.”
Grandpa Su gave a meticulous answer.
"Brother Su, have you gone mad?!"
The patriarch of the Dong family was immediately enraged.
"The ancestral laws cannot be changed. How can a woman be the head of our powerful family?!"
The old patriarch of the Dong family suddenly stood up and reprimanded Old Master Su.
"Exactly, is your Su family going to break this precedent?!"
The head of the Luo family also stood up abruptly, siding with the old head of the Dong family.
"Patriarch Luo, Patriarch Dong, it's our Su family's business to decide who will be the next head of the family. It's none of your concern."
Grandpa Su asked in return.
“This is not just a matter for your Su family; it concerns all the wealthy families in Hangzhou. I will not allow you to act recklessly.”
"The old patriarch of the Dong family said in a cold voice."
He would not allow any powerful family in Hangzhou to break this precedent.
"that is."
"That's absolutely right."
The heads of the Luo and Cui families spoke out one after the other.
The patriarch of the Dong family is currently the oldest, most senior, and most experienced among all the wealthy families in Hangzhou, so his words carry a lot of weight.
Moreover, the Dong family is vaguely considered the most powerful among the wealthy families in Hangzhou, and could be regarded as the number one wealthy family in Hangzhou.
"Brother Su, I advise you to reconsider and listen to everyone's thoughts."
The old patriarch of the Dong family stepped forward, walked to the center, and turned to look at the others.
“Our Dong family is the first to oppose Su Ningshuang becoming the next head of the Su family. If the Su family insists on doing so, then they are making an enemy of our Dong family and all the wealthy families in Hangzhou.”
"I also support Grandpa Dong."
The Luo and Cui families echoed this sentiment.
"Patriarch Gu, Patriarch Pang, don't you agree?"
The old patriarch of the Dong family then looked at the two fence-sitters.
"yes."
"That means they are making enemies of all the wealthy families in Hangzhou."
When asked this question by the old patriarch of the Dong family, the two opportunists, the Gu family and the Pang family, also sided with the old patriarch of the Dong family.
"Old Master Dong is right."
"Our prestigious families in Hangzhou will absolutely not tolerate the presence of a female head of the household..."
In addition, some wealthy and influential figures in Hangzhou who were originally unrelated to them also expressed their support for the former head of the Dong family.
They wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with the old patriarch of the Dong family.
Not a single person at the scene supported Mr. Su.
In an instant, the entire Su family was filled with voices opposing Su Ningshuang's appointment as the next head of the Su family.
Grandpa Su can no longer control the situation on his own.
"What if I say he's wrong?!"
At this crucial moment, a domineering voice rang out.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Chen slowly stood up.
"Young man, you must be Ye Chen."
The old patriarch of the Dong family said coldly to Ye Chen.
Because he disliked Su Ningshuang, he now also despises Ye Chen.
"This is a time for us elders to discuss things; it's not your place, a junior, to speak!!!"
