Chapter 277
Wu Zhengde, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly stood up from his chair.
With a concerned face, he asked, "Dad, are you uncomfortable anywhere? I'll call the doctor over right away."
When Wu Zhengde turned to call the doctor, his arm was suddenly grabbed by Wu Zhirong.
When Wu Zhengde turned his head, he saw that Wu Zhirong's eyes were already flashing with a sharp edge.
Anger.
Hatred.
Disgrace [天籁小说 www.23txt.info].
In a hoarse voice, Wu Zhirong turned to Wu Zhengde and said, "I don't need a doctor, you go to Cold Mountain immediately to find Second Master."
At that moment, Wu Zhengde's eyelids jumped and shock appeared on his face.
As if he could see through Wu Zhengde's mind, Wu Zhirong said coldly, "If you don't go, I'll amend the will now!"
Wu Zhengde secretly gritted his teeth, nodded his head and turned to leave at a fast pace.
Cold Mountain, situated outside Gusu City.
It has beautiful scenery and lush grass and trees.
There is a private manor at the foot of the mountain, which is not open to the public.
Wu Zhengde drove to the entrance of the manor, and after a few brief words with the gatekeeper, he waited at the entrance until then.
The Wu family's head of household could not even enter the manor's gate and had to wait at the door like ordinary people.
It was evident that the owner of this manor had an extraordinary status and position.
Wu Zhengde paced back and forth with some anxiety at the entrance of the manor.
The person he was going to see now was called Zhong Wuqi.
Ordinary people were not familiar with this name.
But in high society, when they heard the name Zhong Wuqi, many heads of famous families would have their hearts clenched!
When Zhong Wuqi was five years old, he was under the tutelage of Cold Mountain and studied under his master, Patriarch Ru Jian.
For decades, he had not lost a single battle in the rivers and lakes.
Now he is even the master of Cold Mountain and has become a martial arts patriarch!
It is customary for people to call some people of high strength, masters.
For example, the Song Family's number one master, Song Yuan, was called Master Song.
But likewise, there were people who called a fledgling kid like Zhuo Yifan, a Grandmaster.
Obviously, the title of Grandmaster was watered down, and no one could tell how strong these so-called Grandmasters really were.
However, a Grandmaster is different.
First of all, a Grandmaster must start a mountain and establish a school!
He has his own power, his own organisation, and at least a large group of masters following under his hand.
When Zhong Wuqi was 40 years old, he had already become a patriarch.
In this area around the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, no one dared to challenge his authority.
What's more, no one was clear about what level of strength he had reached now.
He, could only look up to him!
It took about ten minutes or so.
Wu Zhengde entered the manor on foot.
After winding through the winding forest paths for ten minutes, he arrived at a special courtyard.
In the courtyard, there were two old men, sitting under a tree and playing a game.
As soon as he saw them, Wu Zhengde hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"My nephew pays his respects to the two uncles."
The two old men playing chess did not even raise their heads.
One of them asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?"
"It was father who asked me to come, he said there was an important matter to discuss with uncle."
When the other man heard the reply, he smiled faintly and said, "It has to do with the East China Sea, doesn't it?"
"Uncle has a divine plan, and father has asked you to go to the hospital, and it is indeed for the sake of the East China Sea."
"Not going."
The resounding words fell, and a black piece landed on the chessboard with a "pop".
At once, Wu Zhengde couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.
In fact, Wu Zhengde was very reluctant to come into conflict with Li Hang of East China Sea again.
From the perspective of a serious businessman.
It would be a very wrong decision to confront Li Hang.
Businessmen are interested in mutual benefits, not in the death of a fish.
Wu Zhengde hurriedly said goodbye.
Chapter 278
But he turned to take a few steps out, and a Xu's voice came from behind him.
"Tell your father that if you want to use the power of the division, you have to pay something."
"These days, when you hire a craftsman to trim flowers and plants in your yard, you have to pay for the work, not to mention the division."
Wu Zhengde answered and left in a hurry.
After he left, the old man opposite asked Zhong Wuqi, "Do you think that your junior brother will agree to your terms?"
"This little senior brother of mine has grown up with a golden spoon in his mouth."
"The family has spoiled him to the point of being uncaring and self-righteous."
"These famous families of theirs have always been concerned with saving face."
"They will do anything to anyone who hits them in the face."
The old man smiled and said, "Then I'll see what happens."
The old man paused again and asked Zhong Wuqi, "By the way, have you investigated that Li Hang clearly?"
Zhong Wuqi smiled disdainfully, "Just a maggot in a shithole."
"When my men point their swords at the East China Sea, I will be the first to kill him to sacrifice the flag!"
Wu Zhengde returned to the hospital and relayed Zhong Wuqi's words word for word to Wu Zhirong.
After hearing this, Wu Zhirong's face, which was still excited, cooled down in a flash.
It looked very hesitant.
But amidst the hesitation, he was swayed by anger and other emotions.
Wu Zhengde was afraid that Wu Zhirong would make another maniacal move and hurriedly asked at the side.
"Father, what exactly are Uncle Zhong's conditions? Does it mean that he wants to get his hands on our family's business?"
Wu Zhirong snorted coldly, "In this human world, everything cannot escape from feelings and interests."
"If it was just the family estate, what if I gave him half of it?"
"But what he wants is more than that."
"What he wants is to control our entire Wu family!"
Wu Zhengde was horrified, "That won't do!"
"Our family has been entrenched in Gusu for so many years, and we usually even suppress our rivals, very hard."
"Not to mention, it's handing over the family's sovereignty, in that case, wouldn't we become someone else's family's lapdog?"
"What you're saying, don't I understand?" Wu Zhirong's tone was icy cold, "But then look at the current situation of our Wu Clan."
"Your brother Wu Hai is dead, and the family's elites were also strangled by the other side in one night."
"What's left now are just a few rabble-rousers."
"Not to mention those tigers in the north, those big clans in Shenghai will be able to kill and cripple us in an instant if they just divide some of their strength."
"At that time, our Wu family won't even have the chance to be a dog for others."
Wu Zhirong seemed to have made up his mind at this time, his facial expression becoming increasingly grim.
"The family has never had the chance to get to expand in my hands."
"This time is also a chance to turn around after breaking."
"I am a senior brother whose character I know very well. What he has in mind, I understand even better."
"What he has his eyes on is not just Gusu City, he wants the entire Yangtze River Delta!"
Wu Zhengde was so shocked that he couldn't speak!
The Yangtze River Delta, that was the richest region in China.
The Yangtze River Delta was the richest region in China, where merchants and businessmen gathered, and where bank capitalists from all over the world rolled in their capital and harvested "leeks".
If we could control the Yangtze River Delta, the profits generated would be big enough to shake the whole world!
At this moment, not only Wu Zhirong, but also Wu Zhengde's eyes glowed with enthusiasm!
......
East China Sea, Lingxiao Group's headquarters building.
In the corridor, Xu Haoran was sneaking and probing.
He peeked his head into a room.
At this moment, there were several interviewers in the room, and a new round of recruitment was underway.
The interviewer-in-chief was Xu Muqing.
The Lingxiao Group had a very important point in recruiting employees.
It does not look at origin, nor does it judge a person's entirety by their education.
Rather, a comprehensive consideration is required.
The most important of these was the moral character of the individual.
And what Xu Haoran had been peeking behind the door.
It was one of the girls they were interviewing right now, Xu Muqing.
