319、Anyone who is not my race must have a different heart
It was evening, and the sunset and red sun were bright.
We left the Akiba Villa.
It was empty outside the door.
Everyone's figures are stretched out by the sunlight, and occasionally they are intertwined.
Qingchen raised his feet and followed the servant to the venue.
On the way, he asked Li Shu and others: "Were there many family meetings like this in the past?"
"Not many," Li Shu shook his head: "Generally, it is held after the annual sacrifice in the ancestral hall, once a year. Representatives of each faction in the family will report the most important settlement data to the head of the family, and then make personnel arrangements for the new year.
appointment."
"How long does it usually take to drive?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"It happened for three days and three nights," Li Shu said with a smile: "Many people go to such meetings and wear adult diapers."
Qingchen had heard that some of the world's largest companies would have such long meetings, and all the participants would wear adult diapers in order not to go to the toilet.
The atmosphere at that kind of meeting was extremely serious, and the participants didn't even dare to go to the toilet.
In Qingchen's impression, the old man is a very kind person. Would such a person presiding over a meeting also scare the members of the family?
Perhaps, this is what the superior must do.
"Is Mr. Li very serious on weekdays?" Qingchen asked.
Li Shu explained: "Grandpa is not particularly serious. He just acts decisively and makes decisions before taking action. When he makes a decision, it will be difficult to change it. Everyone is afraid of this meeting, mainly because this kind of meeting is too
It's important. Dozens or hundreds of people can be re-appointed or dismissed in one meeting. It will even determine the fate of certain factions in the family in the next few years. No one dares to take it lightly. Some people lose power at the meeting and may not be able to do so for decades.
Return to the center of power."
At this time, the servant led them to the meeting place.
But when everyone walked in, they suddenly found that the entire venue was empty.
The venue is not here!
Li Ke said: "There are two meeting venues in Banshan Manor, one is called Shouzhen and the other is Mingli. The meeting must be held in the other one."
Everyone turned to look at the servants, only to see the servants saying in fear: "I'm sorry, everyone, I don't know what's going on. The order I received is to bring everyone to the 'Shou Zhen' meeting venue!"
Li Shu looked at Qingchen: "Sir, maybe someone doesn't want you to attend the meeting."
Qingchen smiled, obviously yes.
Some people don't want him to attend the meeting.
From the moment the servant told him that he had the right not to participate, he knew it was a hint.
Qingchen thought for a while: "How far is the other venue from here?"
"Twenty minutes' walk," Li Ke replied: "According to the time, the meeting should start in ten minutes."
"Interesting," Qingchen said with a smile.
This was something he didn't expect, but it wasn't particularly surprising.
If there was no such intrigue in the mansion, Qingchen would feel a little strange.
When the inherent power class discovers that there is a new upstart, they will always spare no effort to suppress it, because everyone knows that the cake is only so big, and if there is one more person, there will be one more share.
It's just...he's just a teacher, why target him?
Li Shu whispered: "Sir, everyone is now rumoring that you are the illegitimate son of the old man. It is said that the old man wants you to recognize your ancestors and worship in the ancestral hall before heading west..."
Qingchen was shocked, so that’s it!
The old man was so kind to him that many people misunderstood him.
Yes, Mr. Xi will naturally not affect the interests of others, but it is different for illegitimate children who recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.
But the problem is...he is not an illegitimate child!
Look what happened!
Qingchen said: "Let's go, let's go to the next venue."
Li Shu said: "Sir, they deliberately made you late, aren't you angry?"
Although he has not officially kowtowed to become a disciple, all the students are grateful for Qingchen's selfless teachings during this period, and Qingchen's hard work in giving them initiations.
Now that my husband has been tricked, he will naturally feel very unconvinced.
"I'm angry. I'm quite vindictive, but it's useless to vent your anger on a servant here. He's also an errand boy," Qingchen said calmly: "But if you want to go wherever you want, you can set off immediately.
Nothing can go wrong."
Li Shu and others looked at each other and immediately followed.
…
…
The Mingli Assembly Hall was already filled with nearly a hundred people.
There was an empty long table in the middle, with only 11 people sitting there, and the rest were sitting in the auditorium seats not far away.
The aura of these 11 people was stronger than the last, and the people in the surrounding seats did not even dare to look at them casually.
No matter what decisions these people make, they can affect the fate of millions of people.
Next to the long table, a skinny middle-aged man asked: "How is the old man's health? Holding a family meeting at this time will not have any impact on his health? Brother, don't you try to persuade him?"
After speaking, he looked at Li Yunshou, who was sitting in the first seat on the left.
Li Yunshou ignored him and just looked at the documents in his hand silently.
To participate in this meeting, everyone must bring documents in paper form, and all electronic devices are prohibited.
If any member carries a mechanical limb, there will be someone outside the venue who will be responsible for dismantling and keeping it.
After the meeting, a specialized mechanical limb doctor will be responsible for installing them back.
As a result of this rule, there were several people in the auditorium who were missing arms and legs, which looked very strange.
"Hey, the meeting should have started a long time ago. Why hasn't the old man come yet?" said a middle-aged woman next to the long table: "In the past, he was the most punctual person. I remember that in the early years, he was specially guarding the door.
, if any of us is late, we will have to review it."
Li Yunye looked at a servant: "Go and ask what's going on."
The servant from Baopu Tower ran out quickly, and then quickly ran back: "The old man said that the meeting will not be held until everyone is gathered."
Everyone in the venue was stunned.
Waiting for everyone to gather?
Of all the people present, only one group of people had not arrived, and everyone knew why that group of people had not arrived.
However, they did not expect that the always punctual and dignified old man would suddenly become willful at such a time.
It was just that the teacher was tricked into walking into the wrong venue.
For such a trivial matter, the old man even postponed this meeting!
In the auditorium of the venue, everyone began to discuss, what kind of virtues and abilities does this teacher have that makes the old man so fond of him?
The skinny middle-aged man knocked on the long table in front of him and said to himself: "Have you heard that an illegitimate son appeared in our Li family recently? The old man asked the Li family's children to become apprentices to improve his status, and also gave him
Qiuye Villa, what do you want to do? Let me make it clear to you first, I don’t recognize such a younger brother. Our Li family has had rules from hundreds of years ago, and illegitimate children are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall."
Li Changqing sat in his seat and looked at the ceiling, letting his brother speak out but not caring at all.
This middle-aged man is called Li Yunye. He is extremely smart and capable in business. He is in charge of projects such as mining and electric power, many of which are the pillar industries of the Li family. He is extremely aggressive in business.
Li Yunye usually treats his brothers and sisters very well, and he doesn't have any problems with being domineering.
The only thing is that this person has a strong sense of territory, and no one else can touch the things under his hands.
"Brother Ninth," Li Changqing suddenly said: "No one said that he is the old man's illegitimate son. If you don't believe the rumors, don't spread them. Besides, don't mention such things in family meetings."
Li Yunya said calmly: "I'm just worried that if I don't come back during this period, someone will say something deceptive next to the old man."
Li Yunshou closed the document in front of him and said calmly: "The old man has never been unconscious, so you don't have to worry about this."
At this time, a group of people walked in outside the venue.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was Qingchen and Li Ke who were late.
Li Yunye said nothing, but looked at Qingchen carefully.
However, Qingchen didn't look at him, but looked at the long table in the middle.
All the extra chairs there had been removed, and not a single one was left for him.
At this moment, many people were watching this scene silently, wondering what this teacher from the martial arts hall would do.
Should I go to the long table and ask for a chair, or should I sit silently in the gallery?
If he wanted a chair, no servant would dare to help him move it. Moving the chair himself would be too cheap.
If he is sitting in the auditorium, then needless to say, he will no longer have a place at Li's long table.
For the power within this consortium, everyone went through countless struggles before finally winning the chair at the long table.
That chair is ordinary, but it is something that countless people dream of.
However, in this delicate atmosphere, Li Ke, who was behind Qingchen, suddenly walked out, moved a chair from the auditorium, and placed it neatly next to the long table: "Sir, please sit down."
As he spoke, Li Ke wiped the chair surface clean with his sleeves.
The chair was not dirty. If the chair at the Li family meeting had been dirty, some of the servants would have been exiled.
And by doing this, Li Ke was clearly showing off to everyone. The heirs of the Li family who are eligible to enter the ancestral hall should clean the chairs for his husband, and the others should stop doing small tricks.
Everyone in the audience was stunned. They didn't expect that Li Ke would lower his body so low at the family meeting.
Several people at the long table were stunned, and even Li Changqing was a little surprised. Her original plan was that she would ask for a chair, and no servant would dare to disobey her order.
However, it is obvious that she does not need to come forward now, Qingchen can solve the problem by himself.
At the long table, Li Yunye looked back at his elder brother Li Yunshou, a little uncertain. He was not sure whether this was what his elder brother had instructed his son to do.
Li Yunshou's expression was always as calm as a dragon lake. He looked at Li Yunye and said, "Stop thinking so wildly. He didn't even move a chair for me once."
The implication is that this matter has nothing to do with him, Li Yunshou.
Like a thin tiger, Li Yunye touched the stubble on his chin with interest: "Interesting."
Qingchen came to the long table and sat down. He didn't say hello to anyone. He just sat there quietly, maintaining his breathing skills and closing his eyes to rest.
As if he doesn't care about anything.
Li Ke, Li Shu and others sat behind him, also saying nothing.
If the occasion had not been too grand, Li Shu and the others would have even hoped that their husband could take them into meditation and not delay their practice during the meeting.
They are the most pragmatic men in the army. They know very well that if they can practice and become extraordinary as soon as possible, they will be of great use on the battlefield.
At this time, someone pushed a wheelchair in from outside the venue. The person pushing the wheelchair was the middle-aged man who gave Qingchen accurate advice, and in the wheelchair was an extremely weak old man.
But I saw that the old man's face was pale and his lips were blue. There were more than a dozen doctors and nurses waiting outside the venue, ready to carry out rescue operations at any time.
Qingchenxin said, you were not like this when you were fishing on the edge of Long Lake.
Why is this still happening!
Not to mention, the acting skills are quite superb, and the feeling of being out of breath is very realistic.
Qingchen looked around and found that the other people's expressions were normal.
Is he the only one who knows that the old man is acting?!
No, Li Yunshou must have known it well, but the rest is really uncertain.
In fact, what Qingchen didn't know was that the area near Longhu was not just for anyone to go to. There were always dedicated people guarding it, and no one could get close to it, even Li Shu and Li Ke.
Banshan Manor was not really peaceful, it was just that Qingchen saw the most peaceful side.
The old man didn't look at Qingchen. He just sat weakly in the wheelchair and said: "I'm not feeling well, so this meeting will be short. I'll finish my talk first. If you have any ideas, you can wait until I finish. You can tell me
Whether you listen to these words as a last wish or as a warning, I just need you to listen to them."
The old man continued: "The first thing is that as long as the Li family is still there, eradicating the Jindai and Kashima families will be the Li family's goal and pursuit for generations to come."
"The second thing is that the genetic medicine industry and intelligence industry in Li Yunyi's hands should all be handed over to Li Changqing. In the future, if the federation is turbulent, the intelligence agencies must be in the hands of one person, and there can be no more differences."
This is the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and it only said that Li Yunyi would hand over power, but did not say what new responsibilities he would be given.
This shows that the old man is very dissatisfied with Li Yunyi's past work, and it will be difficult for Li Yunyi's family to have the opportunity to enter the core power in the next few decades.
"The third thing is that the Northern Mutual Market cannot stop at any time."
"The fourth thing is that within thirty years, we cannot make concessions on the fiscal and taxation bill. This is one of the foundations of the Li family."
"The fifth item..."
The old man said more than ten things in a row, and at the end he said: "The nineteenth thing is that the Li family pays attention to ordering the elders and younger ones, respecting teachers, and don't forget the traditions of the old Li family."
Many people in the venue were stunned. This was clearly said specifically for Qingchen. It meant that everyone should not question Qingchen's status in the Li family!
Among these nineteen things, the old man did not even mention the mobilization of the federal army, nor did he mention who would take over as the head of the family. Instead, he mentioned respecting teachers and respecting morality.
This makes many people not understand.
At this time, the old man said: "Okay, I'm done. Do you have anything to say?"
Beside the long table, Li Yunyi suddenly stood up: "Dad, what did I do wrong? Why did I give all my power to Li Changqing? What does she have..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly fell into a coma.
For a moment, the entire venue was in chaos. Li Yunshou, who is usually the calmest, roared: "Doctors, nurses, come in and rescue me!"
In the venue, everyone in the auditorium was at a loss. Li Yunyi stood there blankly. He didn't expect that he didn't even have a chance to defend himself.
After the doctor rushed in, soldiers walked into the venue with guns and ammunition: "Please leave in an orderly manner."
Qingchen was confused and walked out according to the soldier's instructions. At a certain moment, even he wondered whether the old man's condition had suddenly worsened.
After all, the old man has been staying near Longhu Lake during this period. It is cold and humid there, and it is very likely that his condition will be aggravated.
However, at this moment, Li Changqing passed by him under the escort of Lao Jiu: "It's just dark now. You can wait for me at Qiuye Courtyard later. I'll go there in a moment."
Qingchen couldn't laugh or cry. Even though the old man was critically ill, he still had the heart to go out and have fun. The other party made it clear that he was an insider and knew that the old man was just faking it.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
After leaving the venue, Qingchen didn't know where he was going, so he headed towards Longhu by accident.
But when he walked there, he suddenly discovered that under the moonlight, the old man had changed into a raincoat and was sitting there starting to make fish bait!
Qingchen walked over angrily: "Your acting is too perfunctory, isn't it? You were seriously ill and dying half an hour ago, and you came here to fish half an hour later?"
The old man said angrily: "You are not worried about whether I am okay. I am seriously ill and dying and you come to Longhu to touch my dragon fish?"
"Both each other," Qingchen didn't bring a pony with him today and simply sat cross-legged next to the old man: "Who are you performing for? This venue is in chaos, it can be regarded as a memorial service and the funeral parlor begins to cry.
."
"It's not just for anyone," the old man sighed: "The main reason is that the previous meetings were too long. Every time I announced a decision, they had to argue for a long time. For big things, it took me several days to balance it.
, How good this time is, just leave after saying this, let me see who dares to ask me anything. I am almost dead, do I still need to waste time dealing with them? "
Qingchen was dumbfounded: "Is this why you went to such a big fight?"
The top leader of a consortium resorted to such childish tactics just to avoid hearing everyone quarreling at the meeting.
This somewhat subverts his concept.
But if you think about it carefully, these superiors are also human beings.
The old man looked at the young man sideways: "The last few days of the old man's life, aren't they precious? In order not to waste these few days, no matter how big the battle is, it is not too much. The time I have now is not too much in seconds.
."
"Okay, it does make sense," Qingchen said with emotion.
The old man raised his hand and threw the fishhook out. While looking at the fish float, he said: "When I was young, I always thought that there was still a lot of time. I always told myself that the things I like can wait. But, my life
I just wasted it on these worldly fame and fortunes. I have to balance this and that. Looking back, if I had pretended to be critically ill earlier, I'm afraid I would have been able to let go and be free."
Qingchenxin said, if you have been critically ill for decades, no one will believe it.
He asked: "However, I thought you would mention the heir or something at the meeting, but you didn't mention it at all."
The old man smiled and said: "What do you know? There are big meetings for small things and small meetings for big things. How can the most important decision be made in a meeting with hundreds of people? It's all discussed in advance."
"These ten words are quite insightful," Qingchen said, "I thought you were worried that there was a traitor in the venue, so you deliberately didn't say the most important thing."
"It's hard to make a conclusion right now about whether it's a traitor or not," the old man said slowly, "but there will be a result soon."
"Really?" Qingchen asked curiously: "As a big shot in the Li family consortium, why would you betray your family?"
The old man said: "Not everyone is in power. For example, a person like Li Yunyi who has just been seized of power. Do you think he will be resentful? Of course, I am not saying that Li Yunyi is a traitor. For hundreds of years, the Li family has been filled with resentful people.
There are too many, and the benefits in this world are never fairly distributed."
"I understand," Qingchen nodded.
The old man suddenly said: "I may not come to Long Lake in the next few days. Then you can catch the fish by yourself. Anyway, you can catch faster than me."
Qingchen suddenly asked: "Why are you so nice to me? I mean, you don't actually need to do this."
The old man smiled: "There are so many reasons. In this life, people can only be willful when they are children and old people. If a child is acting up, you can say he is still young. If an old person is willful, you can say he is old.
Confused, only during the period in between you must face your responsibilities soberly. In the past, I didn’t dare to care for any grandson casually. I looked at those little figures and they were cute, but if I hugged anyone casually, the manor would be full of trouble.
It will be said which room I prefer and what signal I send out."
"Now, I'm about to die, no matter what they think," the old man said with a cheerful smile: "They all say that you are my illegitimate son, and I find it interesting watching them guess. Don't you see, I
When I told them to respect their teachers today, their expressions were absolutely stunning."
Qingchen said in his heart, co-author, you just said that just to tease everyone?
The old man continued: "Your master is also very interesting. He took in a disciple without taking any of his own, and then went to the north to cause trouble. Before he left, he entrusted you to me, saying that you were not cold-hearted, but had no one.
I taught you that there is another kind of family love in this world. So, I will let you feel it."
Qingchen was silent. Before this time travel, he had just faced family love that was dispensable in the outside world. But here, he faced another extreme.
Sometimes, although he knows that he is from the outer world, he doesn't know why he is closer to the inner world.
Nowadays, the conflict between the inner and outer world has become more and more serious. If some people knew his thoughts, they would probably scold him.
"Why does Mr. Li dislike Jindai and Kashima so much?" Qingchen asked about other things: "The world outside is because of national hatred, but what about the other world?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different."
"Is it because of this?" Qingchen asked.
The old man glanced at him: "If they are not your compatriots, then they will not regard your compatriots as human beings at all. That is a natural barrier between races. If one day they take charge of the Federation, then all the Central Plains people will
They are all inferior people, only those who are full of bird-talk are the superior people."
As he said that, the old man raised his hand and handed the bitten dragon fish to Qingchen: "I didn't expect that kid Li Ke to be so loyal to you. Remember to treat him well... Also, remember the agreement between you and me.
."
"I won't forget it."
