The dinner lasted until past ten o'clock, and the atmosphere was still lively.
The Dongcheng family has indeed not been so lively for many years, especially during the Chinese New Year, when the place is often much deserted than usual.
Bai Qingqian has not been back for many years before.
Dongcheng is invincible in the Frontier Corps.
The Autumn Pond in the East City is in Huating.
Everyone holds important positions, which means they are busier as the holidays come. There are very few opportunities to escape during the Spring Festival. During the Chinese New Year in previous years, on New Year's Eve, because there was little contact with Dongcheng Hanjian, Dongcheng Hanguang often just
He had two drinks with his bodyguard and current butler Fu Bo, who had been with him for decades. Dong Chengru would accompany him silently and rarely spoke. Occasionally, Zou Yuanshan, who was nearby, would join in.
It is often not until after the New Year that Dongcheng Wudi and Dongcheng Qiuchi take time to come back in a hurry, have a meal, and then leave in a hurry, and often they don't make it together.
This year is the first time Li Tianlan has come back to celebrate the New Year after leaving home for many years, so most people have temporarily put down their work and rushed back. But even so, everyone still has a lot of work in their hands.
In fact, Zou Yuanshan will fly back to southern Guangdong tomorrow morning at around six o'clock, so he won't be able to have a New Year's Eve dinner.
After the first year of junior high school, Dongcheng Wudi also had to be busy inspecting various war zones and the three armies, and his schedule was very tight.
There is a visiting group from Jiangsu and Zhejiang that will leave for southern Guangdong in the third year of junior high school. Dongcheng Qiuchi will go with the visiting group. In just two or three days, she and Zou Yuanshan will spend time together as a couple who are not often seen together.
Although the storm in Liaodong is now beginning to subside, because the previous turmoil was too great, there are still thousands of things that need to be dealt with in all aspects. Bai Qingqian must suppress everything as quickly as possible, so on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year
Previously, a series of work in Liaodong would be on track, and she would take Li Tianlan, Qin Weibai and Huangfu Qiushui back to her parents' home to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year.
Therefore, although this kind of lively and bustling scene is rare, it is destined not to last long, and it only lasts for a few days.
But even so, Dongcheng Hanguang's mood was still very high. The old man who had been banned from drinking by his personal doctor made an exception tonight and drank a few more drinks. With a bright face and a bright face, Dongcheng Hanguang was toasting in front of a group of juniors in the family, especially Li Tianlan and his two grandsons-in-law.
I toasted, smiled very heartily, and felt dizzy. I drank half a pound of Maotai, and I was already a little drunk.
Dongcheng Hanjian supported his elder brother and left the table first to drink tea and rest.
Then Li Tianlan also left the table.
Dongcheng Wudi, Bai Qingqian, Zou Yuanshan, Dongcheng Wujiang, Lei Shen, and Li Tianlan entered the study together.
Qin Weibai was naturally qualified to enter the study, but he stayed and chatted with several young people from the Dongcheng family who were Li Tianlan's younger brothers and sisters by blood.
Dongcheng Qiuchi held his daughter in his arms and did not enter the study.
Today Dongcheng Qiuchi is the Speaker of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Without talking about the future and the scene after the election, her weight is no lighter than that of her husband Zou Yuanshan who has not yet entered the parliament. She is also a few years younger than Zou Yuanshan. She can be said to be the most powerful person in Zhongzhou.
The youngest speaker is in his thirties. Standing at this height, it can be said that he is an exceptional promotion.
This kind of thing can only happen in back gardens like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are strictly controlled by a certain group.
However, it is foreseeable that in this election, the next election, and even in the longer term, the Jiangzhe Speaker will be the end of Dongcheng Qiuchi, and all her room for improvement has been occupied by Zou Yuanshan.
If the new group and the wealthy group can really push Zou Yuanshan to the position of president in fifteen years, then Dongcheng Qiuchi must leave the center of the stage and take up a casual position in a large organization before then.
It is an invisible rule that is never clear but always exists.
So Dongcheng Qiuchi will be relatively relaxed next time.
The environment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is like this. As long as the new group does not collapse and she stays in the rear to stabilize the core area of the new group without worrying about intrigues, her work will definitely go smoothly.
At the same time, the existence of Dongcheng Qiuchi will also be an insurance and a foreshadowing.
Being able to hold Dongcheng Qiuchi in the position of Speaker of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is what many people dream of. If the situation changes, if Zou Yuanshan encounters some accidents and stumbles in the future, the couple's position is completely acceptable.
If the situation is reversed, with Zou Yuanshan hiding in the rear and Dongcheng Qiuchi on top, the president will naturally have no hope, but at least he can stabilize his position.
Dongcheng Qiuchi is Zou Yuanshan's insurance, and it is also Li Tianlan's foreshadowing.
The Dongcheng family already knows about the transaction between Li Tianlan and the academic school. If all goes well, Li Tianlan will succeed Zou Yuanshan as the new president in twenty-five years. No matter what his life experience is, after all, in the eyes of others, his surname is Li.
He can completely re-enable Dongcheng Qiuchi and make his biological sister his right-hand man.
There may be many possibilities in the future, but for now, she just needs to watch with peace of mind and watch her husband and her brother move up step by step.
Huangfu Qiushui, who had already relaxed or adapted to the environment, ran to the kitchen and cut some fruit. It was obviously the first time for the former Beihai Valkyrie to do such a thing, and her movements were a bit clumsy, but she had a good foundation in kendo, and although her movements looked clumsy
Yes, but the cutting skills are very good.
She placed the fruits on the fruit plate and carried the fruit plate into the study. The people in the study looked at her with smiles. Huangfu Qiushui's face turned red when he encountered such a battle for the first time. He still leaned over and whispered in Li Tianlan's ear.
: "Watermelon is very sweet, please eat more."
Dongcheng Wudi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and glanced at Li Tianlan with a smile.
Li Tianlan coughed dryly, touched his nose, and sighed.
When Huangfu Qiushui left the kitchen, Lei Lei, who was sitting on the sofa,
Shencai suddenly smiled and said with emotion: "When she almost had a conflict with the Bloody Legion in Nanyun last year, I never thought about this day. What a arrogant little girl she was at that time. She was not yet in the Thunder Realm, but if I
If we didn't go all out, we probably wouldn't be able to take her down at that time. Hey, it's only been a year and we have become a family.
Let me tell you, when I picked up Tianlan today, both Mr. Qin and Huangfu Qiushui called me uncle. A few days ago, I wouldn't have dared to think about this."
He pointed at Li Tianlan: "You are the only one who is capable."
"With the East Palace reaching its current heights, it is undeniable that Tianlan has a fatal attraction in the hearts of young women."
Dongcheng Wujiang said softly, with a very soft voice. This sister-in-law who is rarely exposed in the media but controls the lifeblood of several state-owned enterprises is not at all like the decisive and murderous strong woman Li Tianlan imagined. On the contrary, she is not shy and has a graceful and elegant demeanor.
, as gentle as the wind, and well-maintained as she is nearly fifty years old, she looks like a young woman in her early thirties, with a comfortable affinity in every move she makes.
Everyone laughed, and that was indeed the case. Considering Li Tianlan's age and everything he had now, the combination of the two would have an unimaginable impact on anyone.
Maybe not all women like Li Tianlan's style, but whether they like it or not sometimes doesn't make sense at all. Dislike definitely exists, but it doesn't mean they can refuse.
A young leader with immense power, endless wealth, absolute force and abundant talents under his command. With the exposure of Li Tianlan's New Year greeting video, and when his position is announced after the election, it may really be the dream of hundreds of millions of girls.
"But Huangfu Qiushui's identity is somewhat special, right?"
The God of Thunder said what he was hiding in his heart: "She is one of the young people that the Beihai Wang family values the most. Just keep her by your side. Tianlan, are you really not worried about the subsequent reaction of the Beihai Wang family?"
"That's all."
Li Tianlan shook his head: "At this stage, the conflict between the East Palace and Beihai cannot be reconciled. No matter where Huangfu Qiushui is, nothing can be changed. Beihai will take action against me, and it should not be far away. This cannot be changed by my rejection of Huangfu Qiushui.
And there is no need to refuse. This girl makes me enjoy...ahem...I admire this girl very much, and she is willing to be by my side. In this case, there is no reason to give up. If Beihai wants to take action, just come.
Yes, I am also waiting for this day."
He looked at Zou Yuanshan and continued: "Just now, my brother-in-law said that the Donghuang Palace and the Dongcheng family controlled by my children will be the most powerful family in the dark world in the future. In fact, why do we need to wait until then? Now Wang Shengxiao is jumping so hard, I just look at him
Wait until he can't bear it anymore and takes action. When the matter is over, it will be the time when the East Palace officially surpasses the Beihai Wang family."
"Tianlan, how sure are you?"
Dongcheng Wudi asked attentively: "It's not surprising that Beihai wants to take action against the East Palace. It is said that this time Wang Shengxiao teamed up with Jiang Shangyu and also came up with the immortality potion. The lineup is very luxurious."
Wang Shengxiao, Dijiang, Summer Solstice, Rain on the River, Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun...
One name after another flashed in his mind.
Dongcheng Wudi's voice became a little dry.
In terms of personal force, even if you don't want to admit it, you have to admit that each of these names can put huge pressure on the Dongcheng family.
The Dongcheng family has strength, power, prestige, and wealth, but in recent decades, they have lacked truly top-notch experts, so much so that even when they knew that Beihai was going to attack Li Tianlan, they couldn't come up with anything.
A character who is qualified to participate in the upcoming battle.
Dongcheng Wudi gritted his teeth, and said with a ferocious and angry expression: "I really want to see what they plan to do. If they push me too hard, the worst they can do is lead an army to bulldoze Beihai Province. I can't do it alone, but
Who do they think they are on a large-scale battlefield?"
This is really angry talk.
Li Tianlan laughed: "No, the military counselor told me that Wang Shengxiao does have some inexplicable confidence at the moment, but it doesn't matter, we are the dominant side now. Compared with confidence, I can beat Wang Shengxiao eight blocks."
After a pause, Li Tianlan continued: "There is still good news that I haven't had time to say. In the spiritual field, Xiaobai has officially entered the transcendent realm, so this time, it will be useless no matter how many people Wang Shengxiao gathers."
Spiritual realm, transcendent realm...
Dongcheng Wudi stood up suddenly, his eyes surprised: "You mean, like the one from Sanctuary?"
Li Tianlan nodded: "That's probably the case, at least he's on a spiritual level."
Bai Qingqian, Zou Yuanshan, and Dongcheng Wujiang were all a little confused.
Being in different fields, some things are destined to be difficult to understand. Everyone knows how powerful the Invincible Realm is, but unless you reach a certain height in martial arts, it is impossible to understand how powerful the Invincible Realm is.
Compared to martial arts, the spiritual realm is more eccentric and mysterious.
They have more or less heard the term transcendental state, but it is difficult for them to have a specific understanding of it.
But now this is Li Tianlan's strongest trump card.
What does the transcendent realm Qin Weibai with the Dawn Twins mean on the battlefield?
The transcendent state in the spiritual realm is infinitely equivalent to the genius in martial arts. Although it has no frontal combat power, it is even more weird and difficult to guard against. Even without any protective measures, a transcendent state has the ability to protect itself that makes most people look confused.
, now that Qin Weibai has the Dawn Twins, he is an unbreakable fortress on the battlefield.
Now Li Tianlan can barely control his second heart, and his physical strength is almost endless. In the spiritual storm of the transcendent realm, Qin Weibai can completely divide the battlefield, giving Li Tianlan a one-on-one head-on crushing advantage.
Oh, one on one.
Wang Shengxiao, Jiang Shangyu, Li Kuangtu, Gu Xingyun, Xia Zhi, Di Jiang, Moraid...
Who is qualified to be one-on-one with Li Tianlan?
This time Li Tianlan will not kill Wang Shengxiao or Xia Zhi, but the East Palace is destined to reach an unprecedented height amidst Qin Weibai's spiritual storm.
"This news is currently confidential. I'm just waiting to give Beihai a surprise. To be honest, I can't wait. Anyway..."
Li Tianlan raised the corners of his mouth, revealing his white teeth: "I'm looking forward to that day."
One-on-one or one-on-two, looking at the whole world, unless Wang Tianzong recovers from his serious injury, Li Tianlan doesn't think anyone can resist his monstrous sword energy.
This is his self-confidence, the self-confidence he should have.
"if it is like this..."
Lei Shen thought for a while: "Since we must win this operation in Beihai, shouldn't we prepare for some things early? The election is still more than half a year away. Although our gains so far are pretty good, but if
If we can gain more, no one will take it too much. Since the Beihai Wang Family is doomed to fail, why don’t we make preparations to attack them once?"
"for example?"
Bai Qingqian suddenly asked.
“Like Huating!”
Lei Shen became excited: "Isn't Beihai and the Prince Group really struggling now? If Beihai loses Wu Yue and makes no achievements in Huating, then his vitality will be seriously damaged. Since the East Palace has received the information, Zhong Youwei said
There is a possibility of betraying the Prince Group and joining the Southeast Group, so why can't we expose this news and cause them heavy losses?"
Bai Qingqian was speechless and glanced at Dongcheng Wudi intentionally or unintentionally.
Dongcheng Wudi coughed in embarrassment.
Thunder God was brought into the Dongcheng family by Dongcheng Hanguang when he was very young, and he was adopted as his adopted son. It can be said that he and Dongcheng Wudi have really played together since childhood, and they are not even close to each other as brothers.
Thor's personal strength is not strong, but placed in any position in any legion, he can be regarded as a top general who can stand alone. However, Thor also has a shortcoming, that is, his long military career makes his mind sometimes simple and too lazy to analyze.
situation, that's why he said such words.
"This is inappropriate."
Zou Yuanshan suddenly said something, his voice was very steady.
"What's inappropriate?"
The God of Thunder looked at Zou Yuanshan, dumbfounded.
"If we engage in Huating once, we may indeed have a great chance of aborting Beihai Wang's plan, but this means nothing to us. The old man often said that struggle is not grudge, and it is indeed very satisfying to abort Beihai Wang's plan.
, but we can't benefit.
Now the new group has developed well enough. Even if the Wang family of Beihai leaves Huating, we have no foundation in Huating and it is impossible to capture Huating. If you play like this, people will be offended and no benefits will be gained. Instead, it will be in vain.
Are you making enemies just for the sake of temporary pleasure? And it may not bring you pleasure. Interfering indiscriminately will only arouse the vigilance of others and their mutual rejection. This is no longer worth the loss. Godfather, your plan is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to yourself.
Well."
Zou Yuanshan shook his head.
The God of Thunder was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously picked up a banana and smashed it over it, laughing and scolding: "You have hard wings, how dare you laugh at your godfather."
Zou Yuanshan took the banana, peeled it, took a bite, and smiled without saying a word.
Game is not grudge.
This sentence is almost the essence of gaming in all forms.
If the plan to get rid of the Wang family in Beihai can allow Huating to fall into the hands of the new group, then Huating is worthy of getting involved. But the problem is that the development of the new group is destined to gain southern Guangdong, and may even gain northern Xinjiang. In this way
First of all, it is absolutely impossible for Zhongzhou to want to see Huating fall into the hands of the new group.
This also means that getting rid of the Beihai Wang family will only benefit the Prince Group in vain, and the Prince Group will not remember this so-called favor, but will be more defensive against them.
It is a taboo and a bad rule to reach out without any benefit.
Another point is that Zou Yuanshan will enter the parliament this year.
This is something that the new group is currently pushing hard.
Although he only entered the parliament as an alternate member and had only the right to speak but not to vote, even as an alternate, Zou Yuanshan was worthy enough to be called the leader of Zhongzhou. With this status, he was a super leader in South Guangdong.
Only developed provinces have the capital to truly gain a foothold.
The new group no longer reaches out randomly in Huating, and even transferred Zhou Yu, which is undoubtedly uniting most of the forces. I believe that the Southeast Group and the Prince Group also have a tacit understanding on this point. They are now facing each other tit for tat, and they may join forces to deal with it in the future.
East Palace, but no matter what, when it comes to Zou Yuanshan specifically, the two major groups are still willing to support Zou Yuanshan entering the parliament under the current circumstances."
"It's really inappropriate to interfere in Huating's affairs now."
Dongcheng Wujiang suddenly spoke and said softly: "But if you are targeting Beihai, you don't have to start in Huating. Tianlan, does Shengshi Fund have any ideas for further cooperation with state-owned enterprises? If so, I have one here.
Opportunities can allow Shengshi Fund to come in.
From the commercial aspect to attack the Beihai Wang family, I can provide you with a fairly good angle."
Li Tianlan's eyes lit up when he thought of Shengshi Fund's upcoming new round of business merger plans targeting the Wang family in Beihai.
Dongcheng Wujiang thought about some of the information he had and smiled lightly.
Her words were actually very modest.
Provide Shengshi Fund with an angle to attack the commercial power of Beihai?
This is no longer an angle, she has even prepared ammunition for the Shengshi Fund.
