Chapter 511 Endless Disguise, the Beloved God of War Ying [2 Updates]
Second heir: Huo Tengfei
Third heir: Ren Xiao
Fourth heir: Wen Fengmian
Fifth heir: Qu Xuan
Of the five heirs, none of them share the surname Ji.
Of course, the Ji family also knew that Wen Fengmian's surname was Ji and that he was a member of the Ji family.
Even so, people with different surnames still made up four-fifths of the seats.
No member of the Ji family wanted to see this percentage.
Although it is said that outsiders who join the Ji family must swear an oath never to betray the Ji family.
Once betrayed, the outcome will be a fight to the death.
The Ji family has the backing of the ancient martial arts world, and there has never been a traitor in all these years.
But who knows if it will happen in the future?
"As you all have noticed," the dean pushed up his glasses and sighed, "In the past five or six years, our Ji family has actually fallen behind in scientific research. Seventy percent of our scientific research has been contributed by the talents we recruited."
"The successor must be under fifty years old, be on the list of meritors, and be ranked according to their contributions to scientific research."
The hall was silent.
Ji Yihang remained silent and did not speak.
He remembered clearly that the island accident Wen Fengmian experienced at the time resulted in the deaths of five Ji family researchers.
These five researchers were all elites of the Ji family at the time.
If Wen Fengmian really did die in that island accident, then none of the five heirs chosen today would be from the Ji family.
"Dean," a middle-aged man looked up from beside the long table and asked, "Is there no rule that the Ji family has the highest priority in inheriting the Ji family and the research institute?"
What kind of logic is it to let someone from another family inherit the Ji family business?
The inner court can grant these outsiders high status and position, but what about inheritance rights?
The dean paused for a few seconds before saying, "This is the intention of our family."
At this moment, one of the senior officials spoke up: "For our own family, they only need to study, not their surname."
Another silence followed.
This statement is true.
With ancient martial arts at their disposal, ordinary people can only submit.
Even if the Ji family were to change their surname in the future, they would not dare to defy the ancient martial arts world.
"This is not the final ranking." The dean had another batch of documents distributed. "At the end of the year, we will have a final vote, and members of our family will be there."
"If any of your faction are among the heirs listed here, remember to tell them."
Huo Tengfei, Ren Xiao, and Qu Xuan, the three chosen heirs, all belong to different factions and are also sons-in-law of the Ji family.
Yan Ruoxue is the only exception.
But only Yan Ruoxue has a wide network of connections in O continent.
In scientific research, many core data and experimental materials are firmly controlled by several major international powers.
Without connections, the Ji family's research would be cut off if these major powers blocked these data and materials.
Another reason why the elders chose Yan Ruoxue as the first successor was because her niece Yan Anhe was a member of the Dan Alliance and had a high probability of joining Lin Qingjia's sect in the future.
Ji Yihang took the documents home and told his wife about what happened at the meeting.
Madam Ji frowned: "Does Yan Ruoxue have as many connections as Yaoyao?"
In the past, Yan Ruoxue could indeed be considered the number one young genius of the Ji family.
Yet Ying Zijing arrived at the Ji family and could casually produce an invitation card that was highly valued even in the ancient martial arts world, as well as many rare experimental materials.
Madam Ji truly did not know who Ying Zijing knew.
But one thing is certain: any one of them would be someone people look up to.
“Definitely not.” Ji Yihang shook his head. “But it still depends on Feng Mian and the others’ wishes. Feng Mian has no intention of inheriting the Ji family, so we can’t force him.”
Mrs. Ji nodded in agreement: "Our father also said that we can't keep Yaoyao trapped in the Ji family anymore."
"Anyway, this isn't the final result." Ji Yihang sighed. "There are still almost three months left. Although my talent and intelligence aren't as good as Feng Mian's, I'm prepared to give it a shot."
It's easy to imagine how Yan Ruoxue will suppress them once she becomes the heir.
Such a narrow-minded person is completely unsuitable to be an heir.
Madam Ji's expression was solemn: "I will help you."
**
On the other side.
In a Western restaurant.
"Aunt, congratulations!" Yan Anhe smiled. "I thought that after Ji Yiyuan lost power, you would also lose a lot of resources. I didn't expect that the Ji family would choose you as the first heir."
Yan Ruoxue took a small sip of red wine and swirled the glass: "There's nothing I can do. They can only rank me first because I have the most research achievements."
Wen Fengmian has returned, but in such a short time, he can't complete many experiments.
Yan Ruoxue was in a rare good mood: "An He, has Yuze finished training? Aren't you going out to have some fun during the National Day holiday? The Ji family will still need his protection in the future."
Ning Yuze is Yan Anhe's boyfriend.
"Auntie, he's still a reserve member," Yan Anhe said shyly. "He hasn't even met the officers yet. Getting into the First Team won't be that easy."
In the eyes of the masses, the top powers in the capital are the Mu family, the Nie family, and the Xiu family.
Actually, that's not the case.
For people in their circle, apart from the ancient martial arts and ancient medicine circles, the top tier should be the Fifth Family, the Ji Family, the One-Character Team, and the Imperial University.
The fifth family here is not one of those who went into business, but rather one with a talent for divination.
In particular, the First Team is responsible for monitoring all the major and minor families in the capital and has direct contact with the IBI.
They wield great power.
Yan Ruoxue smiled as well: "An He, seize the opportunity."
If they also have connections with the First Team, they can practically do whatever they want in the entire capital.
**
After Yan Anhe and Yan Ruoxue separated, Yan Anhe returned to Imperial University.
She's a junior now, and she has fewer classes than she did in her sophomore year.
Yan Anhe is also the president of the school's student union. Many people know her, and younger students will greet her.
But today, the freshmen on the road were all in a hurry, running in one direction, and a few of them accidentally bumped into Yan Anhe.
Yan Anhe frowned and followed, only to see a large, densely packed crowd gathered ahead.
Many people were holding up support signs, and the words on them were all different.
[Look at me, God of War!]
[God of War, God of War, forever a god!]
Just as Zuo Li had predicted, Ying Zijing was spotted by the students of Imperial University as soon as she came out of the principal's office.
They were immediately surrounded and couldn't get through.
At first, the security guards thought there was a disturbance at the school, but when they found out it was Ying Zijin, they were both amused and exasperated.
A security guard used his privileges to get an autograph for his high school daughter and then left happily.
The Imperial University forum was in an uproar.
[The newly crowned God of War, I got a clear picture of his face! Absolutely stunning, his looks are unmatched!]
[I got the autograph! Ying Shen's handwriting is absolutely beautiful; it seems like he's practiced calligraphy?]
【Ahhhh, I'm in calculus class and can't go out! Sisters, please help me get an autographed photo, please, please, I'll pay a fortune!】
[Setting up a stall to help me get autographs, no money required, just remember to vote for me! The address is [web link]. I'm Lu Qingfeng, a third-year student in the Acting Department, Class of 2002, Beijing Academy of Drama.]
[Damn, what are those drama school students from next door doing here???]
"I'm going to work for Chuguang Media in the future, can't I meet my boss beforehand?"
First-year students at Imperial Capital University: "..."
unwise.
They've almost forgotten that Ying Zijing is the boss of Chuguang Media.
The competition is too fierce.
That's how the argument started on the forum.
Ying Zijin was unaware of what was happening on the forum.
She rubbed her wrist and glanced at the students behind her, all looking at her with starry eyes.
The line has already reached the east gate of Beijing University.
This is the activity center, about 500 meters from the east gate.
Ying Zijin: "..."
She finally understood what it felt like to have sore hands.
I've never even been involved in a fight or beaten up before.
The girl in first place was very understanding: "Ying Shen, take a break. I don't have class this afternoon, so there's no rush."
Ying Zijin nodded, turned on the tap, and took a sip of water.
My phone lit up just then; it was a WeChat message from Fu Yunshen.
"Little one, shall I pick you up tonight?"
Ying Zijin tapped a few times with her left hand.
I'm too tired to move.
"Ah, brother will move it for you. You sit still, be good."
"..."
Ying Zijing turned off her phone expressionlessly, then picked up a pen, signed her name, and handed it to the girl.
A girl who accidentally saw only a pig emoji in her contacts: "???"
She took the autograph and left, looking completely bewildered.
They were deeply shocked and grieved.
The girl took out her phone, logged into Weibo, and quickly opened the hashtag 【Miracle Drug Couple】 and posted a Weibo post.
Sisters, waaaaah, what do we do? Ying Shen has a pig, not our CEO Fu!
【What what what?】
The comments below are all ear emojis.
The girl didn't reply; she was still heartbroken over the broken relationship she had been supporting.
The students didn't notice Yan Anhe at all; those who hadn't reached the front of the line were all memorizing IELTS vocabulary books.
Yan Anhe pursed her lips, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, she spoke up: "It's a weekday, during school hours, and you're blocking traffic here. What kind of behavior is that?"
The lively and joyful atmosphere suddenly came to a standstill.
The students were all stunned and looked over.
Ying Zijin looked up.
"Ying Zijin, it's true you're the top scorer in the college entrance exam, but can a freshman really disregard school rules like this?" Yan Anhe took out her workbook and said calmly, "Which department are you from? I'll report this to your department head."
My mom invited me to see "Hi, Mom," and I went happily. Later, I broke down in tears, but she remained calm and acted like nothing had happened.
My heart is broken.
