Lan Shanyue holds absolute authority within the Lan family.
As soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.
Lan Shanyue glanced at his children and grandchildren, shook his head, and sighed.
Because of his health, he has been thinking a lot lately.
He has grown old and lost his former vigor.
It's not easy for anyone to earn money in this life, let alone someone like him who started from scratch and managed to accumulate such wealth. Only he knows the hardships he endured.
He always remembered the kindness the Huang family had shown him.
If he is still in good health and has enough energy, he can take the Lan family to develop in other places. He is also confident that with his experience and connections, he can start anew.
But now, he doesn't have much time left and has no energy left to make a fuss.
Moreover, none of his children and grandchildren are any good. The only one he usually approves of is his granddaughter Lanling. This girl is capable and energetic, just like him when he was young.
But, in the end, she was just a girl...
Thinking of this, Lan Shanyue sighed and said to his eldest son, "Yingquan, your brother is right this time. Joining the joint business guild of the four major families may be the only chance for our Lan family to survive! This time, let's listen to your brother!"
"What? Dad, you're not kidding, are you?" Lan Yingquan thought he had misheard, because in his memory, his father was not someone who would compromise easily.
At this moment, Lan Yingze couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, big brother, see, what did I tell you? Even Dad supports me, do you still doubt Dad's judgment?"
Lan Yingquan looked indignant. "Dad, are you confused? The Huang family is our benefactor. If we side with the four great families, isn't that ungrateful?"
"Shut up!" Lan Shanyue shouted immediately.
"The world is bustling with activity, all for profit! In the business world, there are no true friends or enemies. I, Lan Shanyue, have done my utmost for the Huang family over the years, serving them faithfully. Our Lan family owes no one anything!"
"But Dad..."
Before Lan Yingquan could say anything more, Lan Yingze interrupted, "Alright, brother! Since Dad has made his decision, you shouldn't say anything more. This decision is absolutely the best outcome for our Lan family! Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you can't beat them, join them'? Dad is doing this for the sake of our whole family. Only if you were in his position would you understand Dad's good intentions!"
Hearing this, Lan Shanyue's expression softened, and he nodded with satisfaction, saying, "Yingze! You're very good. You've grown a lot over the years. You need to pay more attention to the company's affairs in the future!"
Hearing this, Lan Yingze's family was overjoyed.
You know, the old man rarely praises any of his sons to their faces! Especially his youngest son, Lan Yingze, he's always been very strict with him!
But unexpectedly, he praised his youngest son in front of his eldest son!
What does this tell us?
Could this be an indication that they intend to pass the family business on to their family?
Lan Shanyue thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, Yingze, you will be in full charge of joining the United Chamber of Commerce!"
Wow!
This caused an uproar throughout the entire Lan family!
That makes it very clear!
The old man is really preparing to pass on the throne!
"Dad, you're confused!"
Lan Yingquan said with a face full of resentment, "You have always taught us since we were young that we must never forget our roots! If we really join this joint chamber of commerce, we will lose our foundation! Even if our Lan family gains some benefits now, what will ruin is the future of the entire family!"
"presumptuous!!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Shanyue flew into a rage.
He has always been a man of his word at home, and has never been questioned by anyone to his face.
However, today his eldest son actually turned around and started educating him, telling him about the principles of being a good person.
This is absolutely outrageous!
"You, you have no idea what my good intentions are, cough cough cough!"
Lan Shanyue was so angry that he coughed violently, and once he started coughing, he couldn't stop. In the end, he vomited blood.
"dad!"
"grandfather!"
Everyone was immediately terrified.
Lan Yingquan was also completely bewildered and at a loss for what to do.
"Get out of the way!"
"It's all your fault! You made Dad so angry he almost vomited blood!"
Lan Yingze pointed at Lan Yingquan's nose and cursed, "Eldest brother, you better remember this: if anything happens to Dad because of you, you will be a sinner of the Lan family!"
"I, I..." Lan Yingquan didn't know what to say.
"Quickly, call an ambulance!"
"The old man looks like he's already passed out; it's probably too late to get him to the hospital!"
"Lanqi, don't you know acupuncture? Why don't you try it on your grandfather?"
Everyone panicked and finally all looked at Lan Qi.
Lan Qi looked embarrassed. His skills were only so-so; they were fine for treating minor ailments, but he dared not use them recklessly now!
At this moment, Zhao Meili came to his side and whispered, "Son, don't hesitate, just go for it. Even if the old man dies, it's because your uncle was angry with him, not because of you! If the old man recovers, you'll be a great hero, and the old man will definitely pass all his assets to our family!"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qi's heart immediately calmed down, as if he had received great encouragement. He took the silver needles and stepped forward, saying, "Make way, let me try this on my grandfather. These needles were passed down from my master, and they will definitely cure him!"
Everyone quickly made way.
However, just as Lan Qi was about to make a move, two figures walked in from outside.
"Wait!"
The tall, handsome young man's expression changed, and he immediately scolded, "You absolutely cannot use needles in this situation, otherwise even if a celestial being came, he wouldn't be able to save the old man!"
