"Then let's leave him be."
"I've called everyone here today, mainly because I have a situation to talk about. This afternoon, with the help of little brother Chen Ge, I got two contracts from the Far East Consortium, and the preliminary estimate. We will get at least twelve million in profit per year."
Takuya waved his hand, one more or one less was the same at a time like this now, he cleared his throat, scanned the people sitting below him and said in a low voice.
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately moved from Chen Ge to him, and words of astonishment continued to ring out from their mouths.
No one in the room knew what the Far East Foundation represented, let alone families like theirs that had fallen from grace in the Japanese country. Even those families that were in their heyday would have earned very objective benefits if they had been able to secure a partnership.
What it meant was that they could continue to reap benefits from within the family.
"Patriarch, I have been in charge of our family's external business activities before, and this contract is just the right time for me to hand over to the Far East Consortium. I guarantee that I can get the family three million dollars a year on top of the twelve million!"
"Patriarch, don't listen to him, he has caused so much trouble for our family over the years, so many contracts have been ruined by his hands, let me do it, I am very good at this, I just lack a chance to play!"
"Patriarch, let me do it instead!"
The crowd fought together, getting the benefit of the doubt this time would mean a bigger kickback from the family and the Far East Consortium, an amount they might not have even thought of.
You know, it is said to be twelve million. But in practice, working together, doubling it was possible, and with a little fiddling, at least a million dollars a year would be coming into their own pockets.
"That's the thing?" Compared to their excitement, Feihuo looked a little more subdued.
"Hmm." Chen Ge nodded his head.
"It's your help again, I don't even know how to return the favour." Fei Shuo sighed, as happy as she was to see the family regain its vitality, she would owe Chen Ge more and more this way, and it would be impossible to pay these back.
"I don't want you to pay it back." Chen Ge smiled lightly and said in a low voice, "As I told you before, I will need your help, just don't refuse when the time comes."
As he said that, Chen Ge swept a glance at her chest. Although he could see the snow-white and delicate skin, his gaze lingered on the special pendant of the Hai Dong clan for a moment.
As he got deeper into contact with Feishu and Takuya, Chen Ge was going to start gradually speaking to them about his thoughts. This would not prevent them from suddenly bringing it up later and making them feel very shocked.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you!" Fei Shuo nodded vigorously. Chen Ge's successive help during this period of time had already made her determined in her heart that she would help out no matter what Chen Ge needed her to do, even if it meant sacrificing her own life.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a very small thing." Seeing her excitement, Chen Ge's words were softened a little.
"Even small things must be on your mind." Fei Shuo looked at Chen Ge very seriously.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Chen Ge immediately looked away to stop thinking he was a pervert staring at her chest.
"All right. You guys stop arguing here!" Listening to the voices in the parlour, Takuya got a bit of a headache from all the noise and he waved his hand. In a low voice, he scolded.
As soon as the words left his mouth, the voices in the parlour came to an abrupt halt.
If it had been a family meeting before, they would never have listened to Takuya, or even spoken sarcastically when he rebuked them, and then continued to speak their own minds.
But now they all saw the benefits. They also understand the need to continue to acknowledge Takuya as the patriarch in order to earn the benefits.
Not only them, but even Futaba Masaru, who had always wanted Takuya to step down. All of them sat honestly on the side and didn't say a word.
"I called you all here today to talk about things on one hand, on the other hand, it is to remove a group of assholes from the clan, they must never be allowed to endanger the clan again."
Takuya looked at them. One word at a time, he said.
"What did you say?" These words exploded among them, and no one was stupid. Naturally they could hear the meaning of Takuya's words, what was this, this was to drive them out of the clan, and there was no chance of getting these benefits.
"Takuya, this clan is not up to you, you want to kick out the clan members, you have to go through a vote of everyone to do so!" The smile on Futaba Masaru's face instantly disappeared as he poked his cane hard on the ground a few times and said loudly.
"It is because the family is not my own word that we have gradually come to this point, and now with Chen Ge's help we are able to get the family back on its feet again. So from now on, the entire Futaba family is only my call, and whoever wants to object. Leave on your own!"
Takuya grunted coldly, he knew that Futaba Masaru had nothing bad in mind, but it was this kind of peace and quiet. It was the attitude of seeming to do what was best for the family that was hurting the family.
"Do you still have me as an uncle in your eyes?" Futaba Masaru coughed violently a few times, exasperated by Takuya.
"And do you have me in your eyes as the patriarch?" Takuya questioned in a low voice as he frowned.
"You!" Futaba Masaru obviously did not expect Takuya to dare to speak in such a manner, and for a moment he was at a loss for words, reaching out to point at Takuya and shivering twice, but not a word came out.
"All but a few of you should leave, and you have seven days to break all ties with the clan, or I will strike at you." Takuya didn't bother with Futaba Masaru, but reached out and named a few people.
These were people who had lived in the family all their lives, and even though the family had fallen, they hadn't tried to leave or make one last profit from the family, and these were the people that Takuya saw in his eyes.
"We, all of us, are leaving?" These people had thought that Takuya would only kick out a small number of people, but now it seemed that he was going to kick them all out, and that was unacceptable to them.
"You can leave now." Takuya nodded and said.
"Patriarch, you're going too far, we've dedicated our lives to the clan, even if we don't get the credit, we've worked hard, it's not right for you to kick us out like this!" These people instantly jumped to their feet.
Don't look at them, they all wanted to leave the family, but that was based on the gradual decline of the family, now with Chen Ge and the relationship with the Far East Consortium, they hated to live directly back inside the manor.
Leaving would mean that they would no longer be able to make money from the family, and they would not be able to get involved in the economic dealings with the Far Eastern Consortium.
