A few minutes later, Jin Peng hurriedly walked into the Zhao family villa, bowed his head and said with great respect: "Madam, head of the house, what are your orders when you come to me?"
Murong Lan quickly asked Zhao Jinpeng to sit down. She had never been so polite to him before, which made Zhao Jinpeng feel a little uncomfortable.
"Great Elder, Zhenxuan's ability to ascend to the position of head of the family is inseparable from your strong support, so I called you here today because Zhenxuan has something to say to you." Murong Lan said with a smile on her face, her attitude has never been so good.
Better off.
"Madam, the head of the family is a young and promising man. It is my duty to help Master Zhenxuan ascend to the position of head of the family." Jin Peng lowered his head and did not dare to look at the smiling faces of Murong Lan and Zhao Zhenxuan.
"Great Elder, don't be too cautious. In fact, I have always treated you as one of my own and as an uncle." At this time, Zhao Zhenxuan personally poured a cup of tea for Jin Peng. Zhao Jinpeng stood up nervously and took the tea. Although
He has been helping this mother and son with errands for so many years, but he has never been treated with such courtesy.
"Great Elder, I heard that Brother Zhao Yang is not very satisfied with his current job." Zhao Zhenxuan said.
"Master, how is it possible? My son Zhao Yang is very satisfied with the work arranged by the family. Who is spreading the rumor?" Zhao Jinpeng was startled, thinking that Zhao Zhenxuan was going to cause trouble for him, because there have been rumors recently that Murong Lan wanted to replace him as the great elder.
, let her confidant Bi Xiu take over.
"Elder, don't be nervous. It's just that my mother and I feel that Zhao Yang's position is too low, so we plan to promote him to the position of general manager of the Zhao family villa area."
Hearing this sentence, Jin Peng thought that there was something wrong with his ears. The general manager of the Zhao family is the Zhao family's big boss. He has always been a close confidant of the Zhao family. Before that, it was Bi Xiu who served part-time. Now that Bi Xiu is missing, that's not the case.
A capable elder should be appointed as the general manager. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhenxuan would give such an important position to his son.
"Master..." Jin Peng was so frightened that he knelt down, thinking that Murong Lan and Zhao Zhenxuan were testing him. "Master, my son is still young and has limited abilities. How can he take on such a big responsibility? Please choose someone else."
Jin Peng is really afraid of Murong Lan and her son. Although he is the eldest elder and there are many elders in the Zhao family who are willing to listen to him, the backer behind Murong Lan is the entire Murong family. The Murong family is different from the Zhao family. The Zhao family is
They made their fortune by doing business, but the Murong family is a martial arts family. Although they rarely set foot in the secular world, they are very powerful. This is one of the most important reasons why the elder Jin Peng is willing to bow his head and obey Murong Lan's mother and son.
Zhao Zhenxuan walked over and helped Jin Peng up. "Elder, why are you so humble? Brother Zhao Yang's ability is obvious to all. He was in charge of the Zhao family's logistics before and made the supply of the Zhao family's villa area reasonable and smooth. He is completely
Qualified to serve as general manager."
Jin Peng was helped up by Zhao Zhenxuan's hands and found that both Murong Lan and Zhao Zhenxuan had smiles in their eyes, as if they were not fake. He quickly bent down again and said: "Madam, head of the family, if the Zhao family really trusts my son Zhao Yang, he will definitely
I will do my best for the development of the Zhao family."
Jin Peng felt a little excited. If Zhao Yang really became the general manager, and he was the great elder, then who else in the Zhao family would dare to compete, even Murong Lan and her son would have to give face.
"Okay, it's decided. I will personally announce at the elders' meeting tomorrow that Zhao Yang will be appointed as the general manager of the villa area, responsible for the management of everything in the Zhao family villa area."
"Thank you, Patriarch, for your trust." Jin Peng knelt down again with his hands clasped in his fists, and Zhao Zhenxuan walked over to help him up. In order to win over the elder Jin Peng, Murong Lan and Zhao Zhenxuan had lowered their posture to the lowest level. If it weren't for the people of the Murong family
Without going deep into the Zhao family villa area, Murong Lan would not ask Jin Peng for help.
After Jin Peng sat down again, he hurriedly swore: "Madam, Patriarch, from now on, my son and I will be Madam and Patriarch's most trusted subordinates. We will never betray Madam and Patriarch, and make our contribution to the prosperity of the Zhao family."
"Well, very good, Grand Elder Jinpeng, my mother and I trust you the most. There is no doubt about this. I will rely on you in many places in the future." Zhao Zhenxuan leaned on the sofa and put on a pose.
The attitude of the owner of the house.
"As long as Madam and the head of the family have something to do, just give me your orders..." Zhao Jinpeng has long understood the iron rule that anything he gets must be paid for. He understood that Murong Lan's mother and son suddenly treated him so well, and they still gave that to him.
Zhao Yang was given the opportunity to grow and develop. There must be something important for him to do.
At this time, Murong Lan said with a smile: "First Elder, to tell you the truth, I have really encountered some troubles recently. I wonder if the First Elder is willing to work with us, mother and son, to tide over the difficulties together."
"Madam, the matter between you and the head of the household is my business, Jinpeng's. If you have anything to say, feel free to tell me."
"Okay, then I'm not polite. In fact, Zhenxuan's grandfather is not dead yet. It was Bi Xiu who imprisoned the old family master without telling me. After he was arrested yesterday, I investigated and found out that such a big
Secret." Murong Lan said looking at Jin Peng, observing the changes in his face.
"Ah? The old master is still alive. So, what should we do?" Jin Peng stood up in surprise. Recently, he has been doubting this matter, because although the fire destroyed the villa, no evidence was found that the old master was burned to death.
.
"Why, is Elder Jinpeng blaming our mother and son?" Murong Lan immediately put on a serious expression. She already knew Jinpeng, an old fox, very well. She must be kind and powerful at the same time. She should always be kind to him, or always treat him with kindness.
Using the power of the Murong family to suppress him is not the best way.
"Madam, Jin Peng is loyal to you and has no second thoughts. However, if the head of the family is still alive, then Master Zhenxuan's succession will violate the family rules. If it is exposed, it will be a big deal..." Jin Peng lowered his head and bent down.
said.
Murong Lan was basically satisfied with Jin Peng's reaction. At this time, she waved to Jin Peng to sit down, and then said: "Great Elder, that's why I invited you to come over for discussion. You are the most trusted and relied upon by our mother and son.
The Great Elder, we are in trouble now, and we can only ask you to help us..."
At this time, Jin Peng frowned and thought carefully before saying: "Madam, I wonder if you can tell me where the old master is now?"
"It's in the backyard and basement." Murong Lan said.
Jin Peng continued to ask: "Does the old master know where he is? Who has he met after being imprisoned? Madam, please tell me all these things. Only in this way can I decide what to do next."
Murong Lan didn't intend to hide it from him. Anyway, she had already told Jin Peng about this matter, so she simply told him everything. "Elder, Bi Xiu took advantage of the fire in the villa that night and knocked out the owner of the old family and brought him into the basement. So, the old family owner
The Lord doesn’t know where he is now, and he has only seen Bixiu since he was arrested.”
"That's good, it's much easier to handle. Now that the Patriarch Bingwei suddenly appears in the upper city, I extremely suspect that it is related to the disappearance of the old Patriarch, so we must find a safe way to transfer the old Patriarch out immediately. We can't
I left him in the villa area..."
"The things you are worried about, Great Elder, are also what I am worried about, so I asked you to come here to discuss how to move and where it is safe..." Murong Lan said, because only by moving the old thing out, their mother and son
Only then can we completely draw a clear line between Bi Xiu and Bi Xiu. Even if the old thing is rescued by Bing Wei and the responsibility is held, it will be Bi Xiu's fault alone and has nothing to do with their mother and son. (To be continued)
