Chapter 1111 I Hope You Will Be the Clan Leader
In the courtyard, Lei Zhen did set up a banquet to welcome Zhu Yuanhan.
This is Xiao Hongyan's father, and also her adoptive father-in-law. The most important thing is that he did not take any defensive measures when he was with Xiao Hongyan.
If Xiao Hongyan gets pregnant, he will be the real father-in-law.
Moreover, the Zhu family was able to come this time because they were specially invited by Lei Zhen. He wanted to start supporting the Zhu family in front of so many families.
"Mr. Lei."
Walking into the room, Zhu Yuanhan bowed.
"Uncle, stop it, it's inappropriate." Lei Zhen quickly stood up and said with a smile, "It's okay outside, but once you're in, you're family. Are you trying to shorten my life?"
“Rituals cannot be abolished.”
"Then shall I kowtow to you?"
"Ah? Haha, Xiao Zhen, you just like to fool around."
“…”
Zhu Yuanhan laughed and stopped pretending.
He had already received news from his father and confirmed how important Hongyu was to Lei Zhen, so he was very relieved.
"Yingying, let Zhu Yu come in and drink with us." Lei Zhen ordered.
"Yes, sir." Guo Yingying looked obedient.
"Lei Zhen, what is this?" Zhu Yuanhan asked curiously.
"Guo Tianyang's daughter is now responsible for making my bed and folding my quilt." Lei Zhen explained.
One was making the bed and folding the quilt, and Guo Yingying seemed to have difficulty walking. People who had experienced it immediately understood the meaning.
"Just tell me if you're short of people. You have so many cousins." Zhu Yuanhan expressed slight dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, will I still be surrounded by Zhu family members?" Lei Zhen said earnestly, "What if someone abuses their status and acts arrogantly in the future? Do you think I should deal with them or not?"
The words were very direct, clearly indicating that the Zhu family should not be too deeply involved with him, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with in the future.
There is also the word "processing", which has two meanings.
On the surface, it is directed at an individual, but in fact it is referring to the Zhu family.
"I understand that Grandpa cares about me and wants to treat me well, including my uncle and all the uncles, but you are like this, and the people below may not be like this, don't you agree?"
"Lei Zhen, you were absolutely right. I was abrupt."
Relatives by marriage are a very sensitive matter.
Once it reaches a certain scale, it will cause a huge burden to the superiors. If something goes wrong, it is estimated that they will have to resort to slaughter, and it may even be done by relatives by marriage.
There are too many such incidents. For example, Empress Lü of the Han Dynasty almost killed all of Liu Bang's descendants.
The most typical example is Emperor Wu, who not only took the throne, but also overthrew the Li family from top to bottom. The Wu family had the final say in the court.
"Sir! Uncle!"
Zhu Yu came in and saluted respectfully.
"Come and drink, what are you dawdling for?" Lei Zhen scolded with a smile, "Rules are unbreakable all day long, but today I'll make you break a rule. Hurry up and serve me, or I'll give you a striptease."
"Striptease? No pole!"
"Hahaha……"
He just said a few words and passed over the heavy topic, immediately livening up the atmosphere.
This is Lei Zhen’s ability. He always puts being down-to-earth first, because this thing is the simplest and most useful.
He couldn't ignore the Zhu family, but he also had to warn them in advance.
I will give you a lot, but you must put yourself in the right position, otherwise it will be really difficult.
After three rounds of drinks, Lei Zhen put down his chopsticks and lit a cigarette.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Yuanhan and Zhu Yu also put down their chopsticks at the same time, knowing that the other party was going to get down to business.
"Uncle, when you come here this time, don't say anything or do anything, and don't meet with any family privately, because this time we are just letting the Zhu family show up." Lei Zhen warned.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Zhu Yuanhan nodded.
He also knew why this was the case, because supporting their Zhu family was not something that could be done with just a few words; it needed to be done slowly, and it needed to start from the bottom.
The formation of any large family is inseparable from the support of small families.
Just like being in the underworld, if you want to become the boss, you can’t rely on yourself alone, you must have a lot of younger brothers under you.
Even if you are not the boss, once you have a certain number of subordinates, you will naturally become the boss.
"You should go back early tomorrow morning." Lei Zhen continued, "I'll take care of the rest. You just need to wait at home."
"Um."
Zhu Yuanhan nodded.
Sitting at home means waiting for the small families who are willing to take advantage of the situation to come to you, and it is also a process of recruiting younger brothers.
If you don't say anything and don't move, someone will always come to you.
"And the selection of the next clan leader—" Lei Zhen smiled and said, "I don't want to interfere in the Zhu family's affairs, but I hope that uncle can take over soon, hehe."
"Xiao Zhen, you are a bright yellow four-clawed golden dragon!" Zhu Yuanhan said.
"What's the use?" Lei Zhen looked puzzled.
He remembered this incident. When he went to the Zhu family to recognize his relatives, there was a segment about flying dragons, and he was given a four-clawed golden dragon.
It looks good, but I don’t know what use it has.
"You are equivalent to a prince of a different surname, and your status is equivalent to that of an elder of our Zhu family. You can discuss matters in the Zhu family at any time, you can also call for meetings of the elders, and you also have the right to vote on the selection of the clan leader."
"So cool?"
"You don't know? Didn't Hongyan tell you?"
"She was busy talking to me... I didn't ask, and she didn't say anything."
"This kid forgot something so important. He doesn't know what's more important!"
"She just had a playful nature and forgot about it..."
The selection of the next patriarch of the Zhu family is very important. Lei Zhen most wants Zhu Yuanhan to take the position because it is most likely his father-in-law.
Although it is easy to talk to whoever becomes the patriarch of the Zhu family, some things are better kept at home.
This is not about supporting a puppet, but it will make it easier to communicate many things in the future. Sometimes you don't have to find Zhu Yuanhan, you can let Hong Yan talk directly, which can avoid many problems.
"Sir, the next patriarch of our Zhu family is almost certain to be my uncle," Zhu Yu said, "because there is no one more suitable than him."
"That's right."
Lei Zhen smiled and confirmed that Zhu Yuanhan would be the patriarch.
"Come on, keep drinking."
"drink!"
“…”
Just when the three of them were drinking happily, Sun Yinhu walked in.
He walked up to the table with confidence, tore off a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and slurped it, leaving only the chicken bones.
"Starving ghost?" Lei Zhen glared at him.
"Master, I'm on the night shift." Sun Yinhu said vaguely, "Old Man Jiang is outside and wants to see you."
"not see."
"I knew you were missing, so I sent him away, but I figured I'd come in and let him know."
"Are you here to eat meat?"
"Um!"
"Want another drink?"
"Okay."
"roll!"
"Okay!"
“…”
What does it mean to be loved by everyone?
That's it!
Lei Zhen didn't let Sun Yinhu come, but Sun Yinhu knew when to show up and how to behave.
If the master wants to attack the Zhu family, he must cooperate.
There is a faction here that is favored by the master, and that is the Zhu family that Lei Zhen cares about the most. A sense of balance must be maintained, and Zhu Yuanhan must also feel it carefully.
This meal was very satisfying.
