Chapter 1007: The Destruction of the Bihai Palace (1)
Gu Qingchen and others couldn't help but look at Gu Shining, as if wondering why the patriarch suddenly wanted to resign.
At the head of the table, Gu Changhuan looked at Gu Shining, exchanged glances with Gu Xuanzhan and others, and said:
"If the clan leader wants to resign, we, even the clan elder Qing Tianzhu, have no reason not to allow it;
I just don’t know why Uncle Shining suddenly resigned?"
Gu Shining straightened up and said with a smile:
“It’s just that for many things, once you have experienced them, you no longer hold on to them;
Because there was no suitable person in the clan to take over the position of clan leader, I never mentioned it;
Nowadays, the Gu family is full of talents, and it is easy to find someone to take over the position of patriarch;
I have even less reason to refuse to move down according to the authority of the patriarch."
He spoke calmly and truthfully.
After Gu Shining established the foundation and before taking over as the patriarch, he was indeed greedy for the patriarch's power, but this did not hinder his desire to plan for the Gu family;
Over the years, the Gu family has developed rapidly. Although he is busy, he has also enjoyed the feeling of being in power for a long time.
However, after enjoying it for a period of time, he understood the heaviness behind the power of the patriarch, and his state of mind began to slowly change.
Fortunately, although he was greedy for power, he never caused any trouble or caused any trouble to the Gu family.
Over the past few years, watching the clan members of the eldest generation and the young generation grow up one by one, it gave him a different feeling.
Most of the monks of his generation have transferred their positions to the Gu family members and returned to Qingcang Mountain to practice quietly. Now, the monks of the Gu family who hold important positions in the family
, he is the only one.
All these factors further strengthened Gu Shining's idea of resigning.
Especially in recent years, Gu Changcheng, Gu Changming, and even the younger generation Gu Qingyan and others have become more and more smooth in dealing with things. They have never made any mistakes when assuming positions and handling various matters. This makes Gu Shining feel more at ease.
The position of patriarch is handed over to these juniors.
The Gu family's auction ends today, which can be regarded as a new starting point for the Gu family.
At this new starting point, it is natural to change the clan leader.
Without greed and regret, Gu Shining was naturally able to say his resignation without any burden.
Seeing that Gu Shining really wanted to resign as the patriarch, Gu Changhuan and others would naturally not force him to stay, but the next patriarch...
Who should be in charge?
Gu Changhuan thought this and looked at the Gu family members present.
Then his eyes fell on Gu Changcheng.
Gu Changcheng's back felt cold, as if he was being targeted by something.
On the other side, Gu Xuanzhan nodded and said:
"In this case, it is also a good thing for our Gu family;
It’s just the next clan leader.”
At this point he paused and continued:
"Shi Ning, who do you think would be better?"
Gu Shining handed over his hand,
“From an overall perspective, it is better to have senior monks serve;
Although there are many outstanding talents among the young generation, they are a bit younger and may not be able to convince the public.
Of course, it would be best if the old patriarch is willing to continue to serve as the patriarch."
They are a family after all, and if they want to choose a clan leader, in addition to personal cultivation and ability, seniority and seniority also need to be taken into consideration.
But Gu Shining didn't say who was more suitable.
After hearing what Gu Shining said, everyone present including Gu Changhuan looked at Gu Wanchang.
If the old patriarch takes up the position of patriarch again, no one in the Gu family will have objections.
Here, old man Gu Wanchang was happily watching the accounts and drinking tea. He was suddenly mentioned, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
But after all, he came through the strong wind and waves. I saw him put down the tea cup calmly, then waved his hand and said:
"Don't look at me, I'm old and don't have enough energy to take charge of an entire big family.
Let’s give opportunities to young people!
I think these guys like Chang Cheng and Chang Ming are all pretty good, and they haven’t had any trouble these days, so I might as well vote for one of them to convince everyone.”
When Gu Changcheng and others heard this, although they were excited, they also felt a weight on their shoulders.
At this time, Gu Shining said again:
“Now that the family is getting more prosperous, there are many more things that need to be dealt with by the patriarch;
I'm afraid it's difficult for one person to support him alone, so it's better to set up the position of deputy clan leader so that he can share some of the responsibilities."
Gu Changhuan, who was sitting in the first seat, nodded and said:
“The offer is good;
In this case, it would also allow clan members who hold important positions in the clan to have more time to practice.
After the various handovers of the auction are completed, a meeting of family elders can be held to decide on the candidates for the next clan leader and deputy clan leader, as well as the heads of various departments of the Gu family, etc.
There is also the need to redefine the clan rules and clan members' salaries and benefits, etc. After all, the Gu family has now become a god-forming force, and the number of family immortal cultivators is also increasing year by year. It is time to change some of the unreasonable rules in the past;
These matters concern the entire Gu family, and I hope the patriarch will work hard for a while longer."
Gu Changhuan said this, and Gu Shining naturally nodded to show that he understood.
The last time the Gu family rules were revised was when Gu Changhuan was cultivating in the golden elixir stage. Now the Gu family has still become a god-transforming family, and the number of immortal cultivators has reached 28,000. More people means more problems, and it seems that the previous rules
It's not that thoughtful and reasonable anymore.
Formulating clan rules is no small matter. It seems that he will have to be busy for some time, and he can also lead the family's next clan leader and deputy clan leader.
Gu Shining thought this and felt much more relaxed.
At this time, Gu Wanhao said:
"The family scripture collection pavilion contains the rules of Shangqing Academy and the clan rules of the Liu family. They can be used for reference and can also reduce some workload."
Gu Shining and others nodded.
Gu Changcheng and others were a little eager to try, and there was a sense of competition in their eyes as they looked at each other. Apparently they planned to perform well during this period and strive to become the clan leader, deputy clan leader or something.
If you can become the head of the Gu family, you can make more contributions to the further development of the Gu family, and with Chang Huan supporting you, the Gu family will only go up instead of down. As long as they are diligent and don't waste time, they will make achievements.
It is not easy to leave a name in history.
Who doesn’t have a little ambition yet?
On the other side, Gu Changde curled his lips at Gu Changqing.
He doesn't have such ambitions. It's okay to join in the fun occasionally, but if he is really asked to hold a high-intensity and hard-working position like the clan leader or deputy clan leader, he will definitely fail.
Originally, he didn't really want to be the peak leader of the Punishment Peak, but unfortunately there weren't many people in the clan, and there were even fewer people who were proficient in illusions and could "extract confessions", so he just took on the role of multi-tasking.
According to Changde's personal wishes, his greatest wish is to eat, drink and find someone to talk to.
Unfortunately, in order to live longer, he now spends most of his time practicing.
It would be great if you could live forever directly. Cultivation is really too hard.
Gu Changde thought like this, and his mind gradually drifted away.
Gu Changqing didn't pay much attention to this matter either.
Managing a Zhanfeng is troublesome enough for him, and he has no ambition to interfere in the selection of the family patriarch and deputy patriarch.
