When he heard the news of the failure with his own ears, Joseph suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes dazed.
Jacob immediately waved his hand, and several people quickly came in and controlled the distraught Joseph.
This was the end of a conspiracy and rebellion.
Three days later, the succession ceremony was held as scheduled.
Pope Paul solemnly announced the news of his early abdication in front of his subjects and believers gathered from all over the world in St. Peter's Square, and then personally put the papal crown on Jacob's head in front of everyone.
and gave the scepter to Jacob.
After the ceremony was completed, Jacob became the new pope of the Holy See.
Not only that, Pope Paul also publicly announced through Jacob’s mouth that Lin Fan would succeed the Holy See’s red-robed Archbishop.
Except for Lin Fan, everyone in the Holy See is very unfamiliar with this name, and who is this red-robed Protector Archbishop? There has never been such a position in the Holy See!
Of course, the Holy See does not have this position, but it was temporarily added by Pope Paul.
Shortly before the succession ceremony began, he solemnly told Jacob to announce the news directly when the time came.
Judging from the name, this red-robed archbishop should have a status above that of the red-robed archbishop, which means that Pope Paul raised Lin Fan's original status in the Holy See by half a level.
The reason why it is half a level is because this position has never been held in the Holy See before, because the Pope is directly above the Cardinal.
Now, the position of the red-robed Protector Archbishop has been added to the middle, which is naturally half a level higher than the original status.
It turned out that after quelling Joseph's rebellion three days ago, Jacob told the Pope that if it were not for Lin Fan's help that night, it was still unclear whether they could have quelled the rebels so smoothly. This made Paul change.
After paying attention, he temporarily came up with the identity of a red-robed protector archbishop.
Because only in this way can we distinguish Lin Fan from other red archbishops, and can also better reflect Lin Fan's kindness and important status to the Holy See.
Just when everyone was curious about who Lin Fan was, Lin Fan finally appeared in public. To be honest, Lin Fan was not used to such a scene that attracts everyone's attention. It made him feel like he was being treated like an animal.
Lin Fan actually didn't care much about the identity issue. It didn't matter whether he was a red archbishop or a red archbishop. The reason why he accepted the identity of red archbishop given to him by Paul before was just because he really couldn't shirk it.
I reluctantly accepted it.
Now Paul announced him as the Red Protector Archbishop in public without consulting him. This was said in front of all the believers in the world. Even if Lin Fan didn't accept it, it would be no good. After all, the Pope's words had already been spoken. The so-called king
No joke, of course there is no reason to take it back.
Regarding the rebellion three nights ago, the Pope said nothing to Lin Fan, and Lin Fan didn't bother to ask.
After attending the succession ceremony, Lin Fan said goodbye to Paul on the same day and took the helicopter arranged by the new Pope Jacob to fly to Rome Fiumicino Airport in the Italian capital, and then boarded the Rome flight in the evening.
Plane to the East China Sea.
When the plane landed on the ground, it was already the morning of the next day.
After a series of events, Lin Fan finally returned to Donghai. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw Xia Meng's Maserati parked not far from the roadside of the airport.
Before getting on the plane, Lin Fan called Xia Meng in advance, and Xia Meng finally picked him up on time.
The two got into the Maserati. Xia Meng first drove the fat man to the Dynasty Bar, and then drove home with Lin Fan.
"By the way, Uncle Ye and the others have withdrawn from Tianyu and sold the company's shares to others."
In the car, after Lin Fan asked about the situation at home these days, Xia Meng suddenly mentioned this matter to him.
Lin Fan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Why did the good-looking Uncle Ye sell his shares in the company?"
Xia Meng smiled and said: "The reason why Uncle Ye acquired Tianyu's shares was because the Lei family wanted to target the Xia Group, so Uncle Ye had to take over Tianyu and kick the Lei family out, but Tianxia Group is after all
Those who started their business in bioengineering don’t actually know much about the entertainment industry. Running an entertainment company is actually a bit useless for them. Instead of spending energy finding someone to manage it, they might as well sell it directly.”
"Originally, Uncle Ye was planning to sell the company to me, but Xia Group is an entertainment company, so there was no need to buy Tianyu, so I refused, and Uncle Ye sold the company to someone else.
."
Lin Fan finally understood after hearing this, and not only sighed a little in his heart, thinking that Tianyu Group was their mortal enemy at the beginning, but now that it has changed hands twice, things are really unpredictable.
Lin Fan just listened to this matter and didn't take it too seriously, so he didn't ask Xia Mengtian Entertainment to whom it was sold to, and even if he asked, Xia Meng wouldn't know.
After all, this is a direct transaction between Tianxia Group and others, and Xia Meng has no way of knowing.
Soon, the two returned home. My sister-in-law, Xia Qingqing, went out to film a movie and might not be home for a month. My father-in-law, Xia Yunlong, was basically not at home because he had been working in a research institute in Beijing for a long time, so the whole villa was filled with only
Mother-in-law Lin Xiaoxiao is here.
After returning home, mother-in-law Lin Xiaoxiao naturally asked her for help.
After Xia Meng sent Lin Fan home, he asked Lin Fan to have a good rest and then drove to the company.
Although the company does not require her to do everything herself every day, Xia Meng has such a workaholic temperament. As long as she is not working, she will feel uncomfortable all over.
So only Lin Fan and Lin Xiaoxiao were left in the family.
Although the relationship between the two had eased and was no longer what it was at the beginning, they were of different age groups and did not have many topics in common. Lin Fan was going to go back to the house to rest and wait for Xia Meng to come home in the evening.
In the evening, after Xia Meng came back, Lin Fan took Xia Meng to the Dynasty Bar and called Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Zhensheng and Wang Fugui to hang out together.
Soon, Lin Fan and Xia Meng arrived at the Dynasty Bar.
Ma Yongcheng, Jiang Zhensheng and Wang Fugui had already arrived before this.
Except for the fat man, everyone's face was filled with happy smiles. It seemed that everyone was living a very good life.
Ye Xiao didn't know what happened to Fatty, but he felt that after Fatty came back this time, he seemed to have changed a lot, and Lin Fan didn't take the initiative to talk to Ye Xiao about Fatty.
Therefore, Night Owl didn't think much about it.
That night, Fatty drank a lot of wine and soon became drunk. Even though Ye Xiao was slow to react, he knew that Fatty must have something on his mind, so he asked Lin Fan alone what was going on.
Lin Fan just shook his head and told Ye Xiao not to ask any more questions or to find out what happened to the fat man.
Although Ye Xiao was curious, since Lin Fan had warned him so carefully, he agreed. He believed that if the fat man really wanted to tell him, he would definitely tell him, so there was no need for him to bother to inquire.
.
After settling the drunken fat man, they dispersed, and Lin Fan and Xia Meng also left the Dynasty Bar.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed.
During this period, apart from accompanying Xia Meng to and from get off work, Lin Fan was practicing the Hunyuan Heart Sutra carefully. To be honest, Lin Fan had never been so leisurely. This made him slightly uncomfortable, but there was no doubt that he was alone with Xia Meng. We spent more time together.
On this day, Xia Meng went to the company, and Lin Xiaoxiao also went out, leaving Lin Fan alone at home practicing.
The Hunyuan Heart Sutra has long been memorized in his mind, but he still has not understood the last three sentences.
Although he is now in the middle stage of the reincarnation realm, his cultivation time is too short after all, so it is naturally impossible to fully understand this cultivation book.
Lin Fan broke away from his cultivation state and returned to Donghai for a week without seeing anyone else.
So Lin Fan planned to go to Feiqian Beauty to visit Chen Qian.
Since the establishment of Feiqian Beauty Company, Lin Fan has not paid much attention to the company's development. Now he just happened to take advantage of his free time to go to the company to take a look.
As one of the bosses, if you don't seek development for the company, it would be unjustifiable if you continue to ignore it.
Arriving at the company, Lin Fan came to Chen Qian's office without any obstruction.
Last time, the security guard at the entrance of the company building didn't recognize Lin Fan, so Lin Fan couldn't even enter his company. The company's security director learned this lesson, so he showed Lin Fan's photo to all the security guards and asked them to remember Lin Fan.
appearance to avoid the same situation happening next time.
So this time, as soon as Lin Fan appeared at the door of the building, he was immediately recognized by the security guard at the door, and he quickly and respectfully greeted him in.
Chen Qian hadn't seen Lin Fan for a while, and she missed him very much. Now that she saw Lin Fan, she was naturally very excited.
"Brother Duan, you finally came to the company. I thought you had forgotten that you are the boss of the company." Chen Qian said with some resentment.
"Isn't it true that some things have been delayed?" Lin Fan said with some embarrassment after hearing this. After all, this was indeed his fault.
"By the way, how is the company's development now? Have you encountered anything that cannot be solved?" Lin Fan quickly changed the subject and asked.
Hearing Lin Fan ask about business, Chen Qian's expression suddenly became serious.
"Brother Duan, since you asked, I really have something to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Seeing Chen Qian's slightly solemn expression, Lin Fan's expression also became serious.
"It's like this. Recently, someone has been maliciously acquiring the raw materials of our cosmetics. As a result, we don't have enough raw materials for production, and the cost has also increased a lot."
Since the last poisoning incident, Chen Qian has learned her lesson and purchased a cosmetics processing factory of her own. Therefore, Feiqian Beauty Cosmetics is no longer an OEM, but is produced independently.
"Is this happening? Who is deliberately targeting us?" Lin Fan said with a slightly changed expression.
