While at the Su family, Su Qing notified the core members of the Su family to hold a meeting.
Soon, the core members of the Su family arrived at the small conference room.
Now, no one in the Su family dared to disobey Su Qing's orders.
The previous situations where students deliberately didn't show up or were late no longer happened.
Even before, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San, who had the most objections, were afraid of their niece.
They all knew later that Su Qing's words 'those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish' were not a joke.
When they learned that Su Qing had given up power and the old man had returned to power, they were all stunned. What happened?
Su Lao Er and Su Lao San immediately had other thoughts. Could it be that the old man had figured it out and took back the power?
That way, they all have a chance.
"It's like this. Xiaoqing will be going to Beijing for a while, so she won't be able to take care of the Su family's affairs, so she'll leave it to me for the time being."
Mr. Su spoke slowly.
"When she comes back, she will still be in charge of everything."
Hearing this, Su Lao Er and Su Lao San were a little disappointed. It turned out that it was just temporary.
But they thought again that they might be able to take some action while Su Qing was away from Longhai, and there was still a chance.
But when they saw Xiao Chen sitting next to Su Qing, the little thoughts that had just arisen in their minds immediately disappeared.
Who dares?
Don’t you want to live?
They could ignore Xiao Chen at the beginning, but who would dare not to take Xiao Chen seriously now?
If anyone dares to set his sights on Su Qing, will Xiao Chen let it go?
After thinking about it, they really didn't have the courage to compete with Xiao Chen. They were simply not in the same league.
"I'm going to the capital, I don't know how long, it could be a short time, or it could be a long time... I hope everyone can behave well during this time."
Su Qing looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
"I know that even today, many people still have opinions about me being in charge of the Su family, but they just don't dare to say it out loud...Okay, then I'll give you a chance. If anyone performs well, I can consider stepping down and handing over the power of the Su family."
After hearing Su Qing's words, not only Mr. Su was stunned, but everyone else was also stunned.
Xiao Chen looked at Su Qing, smiled, and said nothing.
He didn't care. Everything was up to Su Qing.
"During this period of time, I have also been keeping an eye out, trying to find someone who can take charge of the Su family... Today's words are not only for everyone present, but also for those who are not direct descendants! In the Su family, those who are capable can take the position. There is no such thing as direct descendants or collateral descendants."
Su Qing said slowly.
"The identities of the head of the family and the helmsman do not conflict. They can be one person or two people."
Su Laoer and others were stunned for a moment. What did this mean? Was this about decentralizing power?
Grandpa Su looked at his granddaughter, thoughtfully.
"Whoever has the ability to make the Su family stronger can be handed over to the Su Group..."
Su Qing said slowly.
“I hope everyone can perform well next time.”
“Su Qing, are you serious?”
Su Laoer spoke.
"If the collateral branch takes power, we, the direct descendants, will not have a good life now."
"If you don't want the collateral line to take power, then the direct line should send someone out... Without talent, even if they take power, will it be stable? If the Su family falls, then no matter whether they are direct or collateral line, they will all have a hard time."
Su Qing said in a deep voice.
"this……"
Su Lao Er frowned and looked at Su Lao Ye.
"Father, I don't agree with this matter."
"If you don't agree, then go and fight to be the one in power."
Mr. Su looked at Mr. Su and said lightly.
"Without ability, only ambition, it is useless."
“…”
Su Laoer remained silent.
"Okay, let's end today's meeting here."
Su Qing raised her voice.
Everyone looked at Su Qing, then at Old Man Su, and then dispersed.
Among them, there are also some who are not direct descendants but are core figures of the Su Group, and they are all very excited at the moment.
Their chance has come.
They did not doubt Su Qing's words. Since Su Qing came to power, their status had greatly improved and their lives had become better.
In the past, even if they had the ability, they could not be in key positions.
But it’s different now. Just like Su Qing said, those who are capable can get promoted.
But they never dared to think that one day they might be in charge of the Su Group.
Now...Su Qing gave them a chance.
After everyone left, Su Qing looked at Grandpa Su and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I didn't tell you about this before..."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I told you that the Su family is yours. You can do whatever you want."
Mr. Su waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, I find that you are a very courageous person."
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Su and praised him.
"Huh? Hahaha, I am really proud to receive such a compliment from you."
Mr. Su was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"What I said is true. You had the courage to hand over the Su family to Xiaoqing, and now you have the courage to agree with Xiaoqing's approach. This is the courage of a person who accomplishes great things."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Haha, so, when it comes to courage, Xiaoqing has the greatest courage."
Old Master Su laughed loudly. Xiao Chen's praise made him very happy.
"Grandpa, Second Uncle, Third Uncle and the others...are not suitable to be in charge of the Su Group. Of course, I will give them a chance. It depends on what they do."
Su Qing looked at Mr. Su and said.
"Let's see if there are any available talents first. Then, we can separate the Su Group from the Su family."
"I understand what you mean. If you have made up your mind, just do it. Grandpa supports you."
Mr. Su nodded.
"Um."
Su Qing smiled.
"Before that, I'll trouble you, Grandpa, to help me see if there is anyone available."
"good."
Mr. Su nodded.
"Although grandpa is old, he still has some insight into people."
After chatting for a few more sentences, Xiao Chen and his friends left the Su family and returned to the Xiao family manor.
Accompanying him was Mr. Su.
"Old White is here too?"
As soon as Mr. Su got out of the car, he saw Mr. Bai.
"Haha, I called Mr. Bai and the others over."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Not only Mr. Bai, but also Mr. Tang, Mr. Xu and Mr. Qin will come too."
"Is that old fellow Qin Kunlun coming too?"
Bai Daheng added.
"This old guy used to compete with us, but now he is getting a lot of benefits from us."
"That's all in the past. You are all the cornerstone of Longhai. If something good happens, I will definitely think of you."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Cornerstone? There aren't many of us old guys in charge now. Longhai still has to rely on you young people."
Bai Daheng smiled and then lowered his voice.
"By the way, I heard Xiaobai is dating someone? Is that true?"
"ah?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and looked at Bai Ye not far away.
"That... you should ask him."
"I asked him, and he said no, but his mother has already...well, I'm not cursing, I mean Xiaobai's mother has come to me to ask what generation to rank Xiaobai's child and what name to give him."
Bai Daheng said.
"It's a new era now, there are not so many rules, and the Bai family doesn't have any generation names."
“…”
Xiao Chen was speechless. Is Xiaobai's mother already thinking about this?
"Tell me, is this true?"
Bai Daheng asked again.
"There should be one. Xiaobai is chasing after him."
Xiao Chen whispered.
"Oh? Whose girl is this? Is this boy serious this time?"
Bai Daheng was a little surprised.
"Tan Yimin's daughter, the mayor's daughter, Xiaobai has taken a fancy to her and is serious about it."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"The mayor's daughter? That's not bad... I'm not saying she's of good status. I don't care about that. But I know Mayor Tan. He's very good. The children he teaches can't be wrong."
Bai Daheng pondered and said.
"Haha, that's great, I know him too."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at them. After all, they were from the older generation and didn’t consider appearance at all. The young people nowadays were too impetuous and only looked at the face.
"What are you mumbling about?"
Mr. Su came over and asked.
"Let's talk about young people's affairs. You don't have to worry about anything, old man. Your granddaughter has found such a good grandson-in-law for you."
Mr. Bai looked at Mr. Su and said.
“I’m so envious.”
"It's not something you can envy. It's because you don't have a granddaughter."
Mr. Su smiled.
Just as they were chatting and laughing, Mr. Tang also arrived, accompanied by Tang Ming himself.
"Xiao boy, what's going on? Tang Ming didn't explain it to me clearly."
Mr. Tang looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Haha, you came here just because you didn't understand?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Well, there must be something good."
Mr. Tang nodded.
"You old man are quite clever."
Bai Daheng smiled.
"When I heard that you, old man Bai, were coming, I knew it must be a good thing... It was like this when I was young. There was no good thing. You have the best nose and run the fastest. I must follow you."
Mr. Tang replied.
The other old men all laughed and nodded, indicating that this was the case.
"Grandpa, why do I hear... they say you have a good nose, doesn't that mean dogs?"
Bai Ye whispered.
"Get lost...how can you talk to your grandfather like that?"
Bai Daheng glared and then pulled Bai Ye's clothes.
"Boy, I'm telling you, if you can't get Old Tan's daughter, I'll kick you out of the Bai family... Do you understand?"
“…”
Bai Ye was speechless, then looked at Xiao Chen. Well, he was betrayed.
After everyone arrived, Xiao Chen briefly explained the matter of the medicinal bath.
He didn't think about this at first, but later when he found that medicinal baths could improve physical fitness and prolong life, he thought of Bai Daheng and others.
He has a good relationship with these old men, so naturally he won't be stingy.
Besides, with these old men around, Longhai will not be in chaos. No matter who wants to touch Longhai, they have to think twice.
The higher-ups went to so much trouble in the beginning, with the five-year competition and the support for new forces, weren't they just afraid of them?
Now that Xiao Chen's foundation is all in Longhai, he naturally hopes that Longhai will always be stable, so that he can feel more at ease outside.
