The old housekeeper carefully closed the door. When he saw a servant coming, he waved his hand to signal him to leave and not to come.
But he thought for a moment, then waved to the servant to come over, and said in a low voice: "Let Captain Liu bring two people over."
The servant was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions and left quickly and quietly.
"With Lao Liu and me here, we should be able to deal with all accidents." The old housekeeper murmured in a low voice.
Captain Liu is a former officer of the Heyang Army. Not only is he proficient in various combat methods of Lingxu and Badaoliu, but he has also practiced sword-holding combat techniques to the 'peak'. He can be said to be the strongest person in Jingyuan. He usually
He is not responsible for the specific security affairs of Jingyuan. He is just here to retire in name. Ordinary Jing family children would not dare to be rude to him.
When the violence a person controls reaches a certain level, he can be worshiped and respected no matter where he is.
But the road to warfare is really difficult to follow. For two thousand years, countless heroes have emerged one after another, each leading the way and pushing the system of warfare to its peak. This is nothing more than kicking away the gravel on this rugged road for future generations. In the past,
, the people who have reached the peak and reached the ultimate realm are almost like gods on land. When the art of warfare declined, there were only ten of them in the country. But now, in any ruling district, there are several warriors who have reached the peak and created the ultimate realm and are stationed at the border.
After the invention of gun weapons, the threat level of top warriors has been greatly reduced, and personal violence can no longer affect the balance of the situation. Even so, they are still guests of countless forces and can take on important positions in the military casually.
Because violence is a rare resource.
Warriors fight for power with their fists.
Businessmen compete for status with gold.
The world is bustling with people, and they are essentially pursuing resources, because resources can be turned into power, and of course power can also be turned into resources.
Therefore, having a large amount of resources is equivalent to having great power.
The Jing family's assets, servants, and money, when these resources belong to one person, then he will hold the scepter that affects the lives and deaths of thousands of people!
No one can turn a blind eye to it!
No one can let this opportunity pass by!
The power represented by the title of the head of the Jing family is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
"So, is it really going to go well..." The old housekeeper looked at Yunjiju with the closed door worriedly, and clasped his hands together: "I hope the master is okay."
…
…
"Have you really thought about it? After tomorrow, all the assets and servants of the Jing family will belong to that boy. Everything you miss will no longer belong to you. No one will pay attention to what you say.
No one cares about life or death anymore, maybe that kid will let you stretch your legs in advance."
Inside the Yunji Residence, an elegant and thin old woman was sitting at the table, a few meters away from the bed where Jing Qingfu was lying.
Although her hair is gray, it is neatly combed without any strands, just like a ball of splashed ink falling on a white paper. Her sitting posture is dignified and elegant, and her face does not have the vicissitudes of aging, but is full of mature intellectual elegance, which shows that she is young.
The style of the time.
However, she was not polite at all when she spoke, and she commented harshly on Jing Qingfu, her voice full of sneers.
Jing Qingqi sat on the bed with her back against the soft cushions, picked up the hookah hose next to her, put it in her mouth, and took a deep breath of the milky white mist.
"You still smoke hookah," the old woman sneered: "Your lungs are now blackened, right? I've seen corpses that died of hookah smoking before, tsk tsk tsk, the lungs were all black and rotten when they were cut out, and
It stinks and is disgusting, but it suits you. You deserve this."
Jing Qingqi ignored her and swallowed the white mist like a long siphon sucking water. The twisted wrinkles suddenly loosened and he breathed out a breath of gray smoke comfortably.
The old woman was angry: "Are you still smoking?"
"I'm dying."
Jing Qingqi responded lightly and said nothing.
The old woman was slightly startled, but she didn't insist on this point anymore, and continued: "Have you really decided? Let that brat become the next head of the family? You should have investigated him, right? He is a pervert.
You are a desperado with a bad fortune and a low life. You handed over the Jing family to him, only to let the Jing family be buried with him!"
"He was driven out of the Jing family by you ten years ago. He has long been resentful towards the Jing family and you. How dare you trust him? His own property was obtained through fraud based on the Jing family's reputation. What ability does he have?"
"And what about Xiao Wu? He has been learning from you all these years, your business skills, your way of life, and your thick heart! He is your legitimate heir, and you actually give up on him now and turn to
Do you believe that brat!?”
That's right, this old woman is Jing Zhengwu's mother, the wife who reconciled with Jing Qingqi. Decades ago, the Taijia Chamber of Commerce was also a large business hub that ranked among the top ten silver-blooded merchants. Jing Qingqi
Combining with Mrs. Tai can be said to be a strong alliance and group merger.
It's just that the situation has changed over the past few decades, and the Tai family's head has not managed it well, so the Tai family has declined. Now it is about the middle level of the Silver Blood Association. But this obviously does not affect the Tai Madam's enjoyment of life. Even if she leaves Jing Qingfu, she will still be the head of the Tai family.
My sister has a lot of assets in her hands.
As long as she has money, a woman will still be a princess after divorce.
And although the Tai Madam and Jing Qingfu reconciled, Jing Qingfu not only did not target her, but made the Jing family more modest. Others did not know what tricks they were playing, so naturally they did not dare to neglect the Tai Madam. Therefore, after the divorce, the Tai Madam
He became more and more arrogant. He held tea parties with ladies from various houses and talked about flower arrangements. He was so happy that he didn't need a man at all.
But it's not that she doesn't care about the Jing family, at least she has always cared about her biological son Jing Zhengwu. Not only did she pry the walls of her Tai family, she sent Hao Haijing and others to work for her son, she also hired dead men to assassinate the man who once slapped
Jing Zhengwei slapped himself.
In fact, Mrs. Tai didn't pay much attention to Jing Zhengwei. After all, Jing Zhengwei's mother's family was in decline, and Jing Qingqi didn't like Jing Zhengwei. She kicked Jing Zhengwei out of the house as a teenager, and she lost her inheritance rights at a glance. Mrs. Tai didn't really want to
I killed him, but I was very unhappy with being slapped by him, so I spent a small amount of money to cause trouble for him.
If Jing Zhengwei is really dead, it would be an unexpected surprise. Anyway, it is the bastard produced by Jing Qingji and that woman. What does it have to do with her?
It’s just that Mrs. Tai never expected that so many things have happened in the past two months. The world has taken turns. Jing Zhengwei, who has always been ignored, relied on the "Youth Daily" to become famous in Xuanzhu County, while her excellent, handsome, polite and perfect son became famous in Xuanzhu County one after another.
Hit a wall!
Now, Jing Qingqi even wants to pass the title of head of the family to Jing Zhengwei!
If Jing Qingfu doesn't change her mind, that brat will really become the head of the Jing family, and her son will never have any room to turn around!
"I know what you are thinking!" The Madam raised her head: "Don't you just think that Jing Zhengwei is ruthless and cruel enough, good at playing with people's hearts, and fits your so-called hero fantasy, so you think he is the most suitable candidate?
Please, don’t you understand fantasy and reality until now? A person like Jing Zhengwei is not a businessman at all, he is just a gambler, but he won! Can you guarantee that he will always win!"
"But Xiao Wu is different. As long as you give Xiao Wu a little more time, Xiao Wu will definitely be able to hand in an answer that satisfies you!"
"I'm dying."
Jing Qingqi let out a long sigh, bit the hose, and puffed out white mist.
The madam's breath froze, and after a moment of silence she said: "You will not get support if you insist on going your own way."
"From top to bottom in the Jing family, half of the people are optimistic about Xiao Wu's future, while the other half are optimistic about the embarrassing thing that was obsessed with the maid... If you force Jing Zhengwei up, it will only cause turmoil in the Jing family."
"Maybe the Jing family will fall apart right before our eyes."
"I understand what you are thinking, and I also know how optimistic you are about Jing Zhengwei. "Youth Daily" is indeed very powerful. There have been many chambers of commerce that want to start newspapers over the years, but only "Youth Daily" can grow in just two months.
To the extent that he can compete with "Xuanzhu Bao"... Jing Zhengwei is indeed talented, I don't deny it."
"Compared with other chambers of commerce, the Jing family has a poor reputation and lacks the tongue to influence the public. The Youth Daily filled in this loophole. If it could have appeared ten years earlier...even if your generation cannot become a silver-blooded guild
If you grow up, the next generation of the Jing family can also become the head of the Jing family."
"But what the Jing family needs now is not a pioneer, but a defender." Mrs. Tai sighed, "The Jing family is too bloated, with complicated internal relationships and myriad interests of all parties. This is a huge and heavy machine.
A machine needs someone to adjust it, repair it, and maintain it so that it can continue to operate for a long time."
"This is a meticulous technical job. Xiao Wu has followed you for so many years just to learn this set of technical jobs."
"Even if it's not Xiao Wu, you choose that shameful thing who was deceived by Hu Meizi, or even the bastard you had sex with outside, you are better than Jing Zhengwei - they at least understand that the Jing family is an old machine in urgent need of repair, and they won't
Move rashly."
"But Jing Zhengwei..." Mrs. Tai said seriously: "He will only start the Jing family machine like crazy and run towards his wolf ambitions - don't think I can't see that various articles in "Youth Daily" have ulterior motives.
, he is definitely not just the head of the Jing family, he is not satisfied with being the head of the Jing family either!"
"Qingfu, the Jing family has a history of more than two hundred years. Do you want it to be destroyed like this? You have hesitated for so long and endured the pain for so long just to hand over the Jing family to a madman.
