After about ten minutes, the conference room became quiet and everyone took their seats.
Old man Chen, as witnesses of the Dragon Emperor's arrival, sat in the first seat.
Tan Yimin, as the mayor of Longhai City and an official witness, also sat next to him.
Then there are Duanmuhai and Duanmuci, they are from the Duanmu family.
Although the Duanmu Family has completely withdrawn from Longhai this time, no one here dares to look down on the Duanmu Family because of this, even Old Man Chen of the Dragon Emperor!
Finally, there is Xiao Chen. Now that his status has been recognized, he naturally has a place among the leaders of the seven major families!
So, he sat next to Lin Nan.
As for the people from the seven major families, they sat on both sides, all looking at Lin Nan.
"We are all acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce yourself."
Lin Nan spoke slowly, trying to make the opening of the meeting as relaxed as possible.
But he knew in his heart that this meeting... would definitely not be easy in the end.
Because there will be too many interests involved, and these interests are too amazing!
He had heard from his seniors that during the five-year competition in previous years, even two families that were closely related would not give in to each other at the meeting!
It can be seen how great the benefit is!
After he briefly exchanged greetings, he got to the point.
"At the last nomination meeting, we already talked about the issues between the Ouyang family and the Jiang family... The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter and has issued instructions."
When Lin Nan said this, his eyes swept over Ouyang Zhen and Jiang Tiansheng.
Ouyang Zhen remained calm. He knew that although the Ouyang family was mentioned this time, there shouldn't be much of a problem!
As for who will cause problems, everyone here knows it well!
Jiang Tiansheng's expression did not change much.
However, Xiao Chen, who was not far away, could still tell something from his trembling eyebrows.
For some reason, when he looked at Jiang Tiansheng, he suddenly felt that the old man was a little pitiful.
He is getting old, but the Jiang family is finished!
This is a very cruel thing for an old man who has devoted his whole life to it.
He originally thought that Jiang Tiansheng would not even come today.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tiansheng came and smiled.
Just for this, Xiao Chen secretly admired him!
"Heroes grow late..."
Xiao Chen muttered secretly and subconsciously touched the cigarette.
But when he looked at the people at the conference table, they were all very serious and no one was smoking, so he took his hand back.
"As the seven major families, we should have contributed to the development of Longhai. Now the court is very dissatisfied, so... the order was given to remove the Jiang family!"
Lin Nan looked at Jiang Tiansheng and said bluntly and slowly.
Hearing these words, no matter how deep Jiang Tiansheng was and how good his determination was, his body trembled and his old face turned pale.
Remove the Jiang family!
The Jiang family is finished!
"In addition, after several days of investigation, many people in the Jiang family have been involved in problems..."
Lin Nan continued.
"The imperial court will strictly investigate and deal with these issues."
Jiang Tiansheng said nothing, but his hands on the armrests of the chair had veins popping up.
"Mr. Xiao, as the leader of the seven major families, do you have any objections to the court's decision?"
Lin Nan looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"no disagreement."
Xiao Chen glanced at Jiang Tiansheng and shook his head.
Although he felt that the old man was a bit pitiful, so what if he was pitiful? The Jiang family is really over this time!
"Mr. Jiang, do you have any objections?"
Lin Nan looked at Jiang Tiansheng again and asked slowly.
"no disagreement!"
Jiang Tiansheng shook his head slowly, word by word.
"Since Mr. Xiao and Mr. Jiang have no objections, the court's decision will be implemented...Mr. Jiang, I hope you will hand over the special rights and interests of the seven major families."
Lin Nan looked at Jiang Tiansheng and said.
As one of the seven major families, they almost control the economic lifeline of Long Hai.
At the same time, as the decision-makers of Long Hai, in addition to having the right to speak, they also have some rights that ordinary people don't know or even can't imagine.
It is precisely because of the right to speak and rights that the seven major families will become stronger and stronger, and few forces can catch up.
As for forces such as the Zhao family, it is also because of the support of the imperial court.
Otherwise, it is simply impossible!
"Okay, when the meeting is over, I will hand over these rights to Mr. Lin!"
Jiang Tiansheng said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't need to leave these to me."
Lin Nan shook his head and said.
"Um?"
Hearing this, many people present were stunned. What does this mean?
Could it be said that the imperial court does not intend to take back these rights and interests?
Or should we take out these rights and distribute them to everyone?
This is impossible!
Just when everyone was guessing, Lin Nan spoke again.
"The seven major families in Longhai have been established for hundreds of years... Now that the Jiang family has been eliminated, only six major families are left!"
"..."
No one spoke, everyone was listening to what Lin Nan said.
They were also curious about the six major families and wanted to know how the imperial court arranged it.
Should we support another family to rise to power, or will this be the pattern from now on?
However, the possibility of supporting a family to rise to power is not very high.
After all, the Duanmu family has completely withdrawn, so there is no need for the court to support another family.
In the past, the imperial court wanted to support the Zhao family and replace the seven major families, which was to deal with the Duanmu family.
Now that the Duanmu family is gone, the imperial court should take back this part of the rights and interests and hold them in its hands to create the greatest value.
In other words, disperse this part of the rights and interests again... However, it is not dispersed to the seven major families... No, it is not dispersed to the six major families, but to some official big shots!
"However, after discussion by the imperial court, the seven major families of Longhai have been established for hundreds of years, so we will keep them..."
When Lin Nan said this, he turned to look at Xiao Chen.
"Mr. Xiao, starting from today, one more family will be added to the seven major families in Longhai."
"Oh? Which family should I join?"
Xiao Chen was a little curious.
"The Xiao family!"
Lin Nan looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"Xiao family?"
Xiao Chen was stunned, there was another Xiao family in Longhai? Why didn't he know?
Not only him, but also Mr. Bai and others were stunned. Why didn't they know there was a Xiao family?
However, they quickly reacted and their eyes widened.
Xiao Chen also widened his eyes.
Xiao family?
No way?!
"Xiao family? Damn it, this is the soup the imperial court gave to Brother Chen... No, this is not fucking soup, this is clearly meat, and it's a big piece of meat!"
Bai Ye was also dumbfounded and muttered to himself.
"That's right, from today on, the seven major families, in addition to the Bai family, Tang family, Su family, Xu family, Qin family and Ouyang family, will be joined by the Xiao family!"
Lin Nan nodded and showed a slight smile.
"Mr. Xiao... no, Master Xiao, congratulations!"
"..."
Although Xiao Chen already had a guess, he was still a little shaken when he heard Lin Nan say this.
Xiao family?
The head of the Xiao family?
What the hell... He is alone, why does a Xiao family appear here!
Furthermore, he had never believed in pie-in-the-sky things before. Even if it did, it would probably be a trap!
But now... such a big pie fell down and hit him on the head.
So much so that...he couldn't believe that this pie was actually edible!
"The Xiao family..."
Not far away, Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen and whispered to herself.
She was also quite uneasy. Before this, she had never considered that there would be another Xiao family.
Now, while she was happy for Xiao Chen, she was also a little complicated.
There is another Xiao family in Longhai, so Xiao Chen...will he leave the villa?
"The Xiao family...the court is so generous!"
Mr. Su next to him muttered secretly.
Not only him, but Mr. Bai and others also had this idea.
Xiao family, this is something that no one expected.
How difficult it would be for the imperial court to take back these rights and interests!
Now, it was given away again!
If the mood was the most complicated, Jiang Tiansheng and... Duanmuhai and Duanmuci were all at that time!
Jiang Tiansheng looked at Xiao Chen, his body trembling.
This young man whom he regarded as the biggest variable, while subverting the Jiang family, also built a Xiao family on the 'ruins' of the Jiang family?
Duanmuhai also frowned. He also didn't expect that the court would make such a decision.
"Damn it!"
Duanmu Ci looked at Xiao Chen with an ugly expression on his face and gritted his teeth.
"Oh, what I said, one person can stand up to one clan, has really become a reality! However, it is not the Eighth Xiao Clan, but...the Seventh Xiao Clan!"
Tang Ming also looked at Xiao Chen and chuckled.
"Master Xiao, congratulations."
Tan Yimin looked at Xiao Chen, who had not yet recovered, and said with a smile.
"No...Brother Lin, is this really who said this?"
Xiao Chen calmed down and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Lin Nan smiled and nodded.
"How is it? Is it a surprise?"
"Well, it's indeed a surprise..."
Xiao Chen twitched his lips, he really didn't expect that that person would be so generous to him!
Originally, he was thinking of taking a sip of soup with him, but in the end... such a large piece of meat was placed in front of him.
Can he refuse to eat the meat that is brought to his mouth?
Of course not!
Thinking about what was revealed in Guanduan Mountain's words, Xiao Chen made a decision in his heart.
Since he gave it away, he won’t be polite!
He, Xiao Chen, has never been a polite person!
"Boy, are you so happy?"
Old Chen is obviously one of the insiders. They are here today not only to witness the Duanmu family leaving Longhai Sea, but also to witness the founding of the Xiao family!
And Xiao Chen, the head of the Xiao family, is from the Dragon Emperor, so they came!
"No, it's just a bit unexpected."
Xiao Chen shook his head, he had already accepted this 'surprise'.
However, he still felt a little sore in his heart.
Xiao family?
You know, from the moment he came to Longhai, he never thought about staying here forever.
Well now, a Xiao family appears.
Then how will he go out to hang out in the future?
Isn't this just...
Suddenly, Xiao Chen opened his eyes wide and felt paralyzed. Could it be that that person just wanted to tie himself to Longhai, so that's why he did this?
Immediately, he thought that if that person really had this idea, the old man from Guanduan Mountain would probably be making some suggestions!
"Damn it, why do I feel...this is like a huge pit, just waiting for me to jump into it!"
Xiao Chen felt a little frightened, then looked at Lin Nan and asked.
"What, Brother Lin, can the Xiao family... be disbanded?"
"ah?"
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone present was dumbfounded.
