Li Songping not only made a cup of tea for Li Tianlan, but also made a cup for Ma Si.
Ma Si was studying information about various families in Annan. When Li Songping placed the tea in front of him, he didn't even raise his head or even say thank you.
In public, Li Tianlan repeatedly emphasized the benefits of the friendship between Zhongzhou and Annan for both parties, but in private, Ma Si knew very well that he, who represented the Eastern Palace, must not give Li Songping any good looks.
The alliance's siege of Li Tianlan took place in Annan.
During this process, Annan did not hesitate to use a large amount of weapons to bombard Li Tianlan indiscriminately, trying to kill Li Tianlan completely.
This approach naturally made Annan pay a heavy price, and the Tiannan Treaty was born.
Li Tianlan's safety was ultimately in exchange for the whole of Tiannan, which meant that Annan's actions were overturned and the matter ended here.
The signing ceremony has ended. Li Tianlan will not take revenge on Li Songping in the future, but he is really not generous enough to continue chatting and laughing with Li Songping.
He is now the winner, and a winner should have the arrogance of a winner.
Li Tianlan's attitude means that Ma Si, who represents the East Palace, cannot be too humble.
He was a secretary, so he would instinctively pay more attention to such details. He only knew that in private, he dared to give Li Songping an extra smile. When he returned, Qin Weibai had many ways to make him uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty...Li Shuai..."
Ma Si subconsciously switched the title, held up a piece of information in his hand and smiled: "The information on the Li family is also in it. It is quite detailed and looks very good."
Li Songping, who stood next to Li Tianlan like a waiter, tensed up.
"I'm too lazy to look."
Li Tianlan enjoyed the cigar and waved his hands casually.
Ma Si nodded and threw the information about the Li family into the trash can nearby, without even looking at Li Songping.
The Annan Li family is the family from which Li Songping was born.
Ma Si's move was not revenge at all, but purely out of public interest in making future contacts between Annan and Zhongzhou smoother.
The Li family is extremely powerful and influential in Annan. Li Songping was born in the Li family, but he is not the patriarch of the Li family. This alone is enough to show how deeply rooted this family is in Annan.
If we had to find a world-class wealthy family in Annan, although the Li family is not that interesting, it is definitely the closest big family to a world-class wealthy family.
Li Songping is the spokesperson promoted by the Li family. He has sat in the position of speaker for almost twenty years and has a high prestige. After establishing his right to speak, he vigorously promotes his direct descendants. Today's Annan Parliament is almost based on
Many big family alliances led by the Li family.
Now the relationship between Zhongzhou and Annan has undergone earth-shaking changes. The former has the power to control the fate of the latter, and this power is now specifically in the hands of Li Tianlan.
Due to various considerations, Li Songping cannot be replaced. Not only can he not be replaced, but if he performs well enough in the future, Zhongzhou would rather hope that Li Songping can stay in his current position.
But neither Zhongzhou nor the Eastern Palace want Li Songping to continue to have the same influence as in the past.
If Li Songping has enough room to play here, there will be many changes in the next few decades.
Therefore, it is almost an inevitable choice for Zhongzhou not to move Li Songping, but to suppress the Li family.
Once the Li family collapses, the more than ten big family alliances currently surrounding the Li family in Annan will also fall apart. Without these help, Li Songping's influence will be greatly weakened.
When the East Palace enters Annan, Zhongzhou will support a few more big families here. These big families will come forward and send their people to the Annan Council. Over time, in a few years at most, Li Songping will truly become a lonely man.
By then, as the pro-Zhongzhou faction takes shape, Li Songping will no longer need to do anything. He will only need to be an obedient puppet.
"I can guarantee that the Li family will cooperate with all Zhongzhou's actions."
Li Songping's lips were a little pale, and he reluctantly said: "And the Li family is very influential in all walks of life in Annan. If we can connect with Shengshi Fund, it can also help Shengshi Fund integrate into Annan better. In terms of strength,
The Li family is the best partner of the East Palace."
He told the truth.
But it is a pity that Shengshi Fund has taken advantage of the general trend of Zhongzhou and does not need to look at the strength of the support objects in Annan.
Ma Si raised his head and looked at Li Tianlan with a smile: "Li Shuai, do you want to slap me?"
Li Tianlan smiled and said nothing.
Li Songping's face turned ugly for a moment, and he wanted to say something.
There is nothing bloody about the story between him and the Li family. The big family does have a lot of troubles, and illegitimate children are not uncommon. But Li Songping is different. Although he is not the patriarch of the Li family, the patriarch of the Li family is his relative.
Brother, the two brothers have a very good relationship. It can be said that the entire Li family has put in a lot of effort to reach where he is today. The rewards given by Li Songping are also extremely generous. Because of this, the family atmosphere within the Li family is quite good.
harmony.
Even to the outside world, this big family cannot use adjectives such as notorious in Annan. Their existence is extremely low-key, but they always influence everything in Annan, and they already have the shadow of a Western consortium.
Li Songping also had to fight for his family. Ma Si's action of throwing family information into the trash can was very casual, but behind this action, there was very likely to be great bloodshed. He would stay in the position of speaker.
But his family will be cleaned up. As for how to clean up, there are too many ways.
The Shengshi Fund is suppressing it in all aspects, Annan's other forces are encircling and suppressing it in many aspects, and even according to Li Tianlan's temper, it is possible to find an excuse that doesn't suit you and kill the Li family's headquarters with one sword.
So even at the risk of being slapped, there are some things he must say.
"I can guarantee the position of the Li family. Please rest assured on this point, Zhongzhou, and..."
"What guarantee do you have?"
Li Tianlan didn't speak, and Ma Si could only take what Li Songping said: "Mr. Speaker, in fact, you can't even guarantee your own position now."
Li Songping was stunned for a moment.
He looked into Mars' eyes.
Although Ma Si was smiling, his eyes were full of caution and indifference.
Li Songping understood.
He himself can guarantee his own position, and he can also guarantee his family's position.
But the problem is, Zhongzhou doesn't want to believe it.
"That's my family."
Li Songping took a deep breath, stared into Ma Si's eyes, and his tone gradually became tougher: "I am the Speaker of Annan. Sitting in this position, if I can't even protect my own family, what will happen to this so-called Speaker?
What else does it mean?"
What he said was not very clear.
But both Li Tianlan and Ma Si understood what he meant.
If they insist on cleaning up the Li family, Li Songping would rather not be the speaker.
At least at this stage, it is beneficial and even indispensable for Zhongzhou for Li Songping to stay in this position. If he is gone, the implementation of many plans will not encounter too many difficulties.
, but it will definitely not go as smoothly as expected.
Li Tianlan narrowed his eyes and finally said: "I will not accept threats."
"This is not a threat."
Li Songping bent down and said calmly: "This is a request, Li Shuai, please give the Li family a chance to survive. I can guarantee that Zhongzhou will see our sincerity."
Li Tianlan was silent for a while, then suddenly glanced at Ma Si and asked, "What do you think?"
Ma Si shook his head without any hesitation.
As he shook his head, Li Songping's heart sank, feeling a little desperate.
Li Songping naturally had a detailed understanding of the first deputy palace owner of the East Palace.
Li Huacheng's secretary, the future first governor of Tiannan, although it has not been a long time since he arrived in the East Palace, Annan has collected a lot of information about Ma Si, although most of the information is superficial.
, but from the clues, it is enough for people to know that Ma Si is not a simple person.
"It is not suitable for him to have such a powerful helper like the Li family around him."
Ma Si's voice was calm.
Li Songping took a deep breath and wanted to speak again, but the door to the lounge was suddenly knocked open again.
The middle-aged man who had been guarding the door of the lounge appeared in front of the door and reported: "Li Shuai, Li Songhe, the patriarch of the Annan Li family, wants to see you."
Li Songhe, Li Songping's biological eldest brother.
Li Tianlan's eyes moved and he said slowly: "Let him come in."
The middle-aged man nodded, and the next moment, a man who looked fifty-six times similar to Li Songping walked in from outside the lounge.
His pace was slow, neither heavy nor easy.
Li Songping looked at his elder brother, the corners of his mouth moved, and he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
He tilted his head, his eyes a little ashamed.
Li Songhe's eyes swept over his younger brother.
He stopped in front of Li Tianlan and looked at him deeply.
Li Tianlan said nothing and looked at him.
"Plop!"
Without any warning, Li Songhe knelt down to Li Tianlan.
Not only did he get down on his knees, but he also squatted down deeply with his upper body, forming a posture similar to a five-body prostrate to the ground.
His voice was even more respectful: "Annan, Li Songhe, meet Li Shuai."
Li Tianlan remained calm and looked at him quietly: "Raise your head."
Li Songhe straightened his upper body and looked at Li Tianlan.
He was still kneeling, but his eyes were peaceful.
Li Tianlan smiled and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"fine."
Li Songhe said.
Upon hearing this answer, both Li Songping and Ma Si were stunned for a moment.
The dignified patriarch of the No. 1 Annan family ran up to Li Tianlan and bowed down, but he was fine?
Li Tianlan suddenly felt a little interesting, and leaned forward slightly while leaning on the sofa: "Then why did you see me?"
"I respect Li Shuai very much, so I want to give Li Shuai a small gift. I hope Li Shuai will accept it."
Li Songhe opened his mouth and said.
"Tell me."
Li Tianlan tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers: "What gift?"
"All the industries of the Li family, all the resources at their disposal, all the working capital... everything... everything."
Li Songhe's eyes were still calm, and he even smiled slightly: "I am willing to give it to Zhongzhou and Li Shuai for free. If it is not enough, to show sincerity, I can also give my life to Li Shuai.
I just hope that Li Shuai can leave a way for the Li family to survive, and also make my brother live a better life in the future."
