The eldest lady said: "You don't have to be surprised. This was indeed the case back then. The foundation of the entire Tiangongfang was laid by our ancestors together with them. Logically speaking, even if I want to hand over the entire Tiangongfang to them, I should do it."

, but do you know why I want to take the position of the boss and never give in?"

Li Wan shook his head in confusion: "I don't know."

The eldest lady smiled bitterly: "If I tell Fellow Daoist Li that the reason why I am like this is that I am worried about them running the workshop, for fear that they will destroy the entire foundation of Tiangongfang, will Fellow Daoist Li believe it?"

Li Wandao: "If others say this, I don't believe it, but if the eldest lady says this, I believe it."

The eldest lady wondered: "Why?"

Li Wan said: "Because there is no need for the eldest lady to lie in front of me."

The eldest lady said: "Fellow Daoist Li, you seem to be insincere in what you say."

When she said these words, she showed a rare little girlish attitude, looking angry and happy, with a smile like a flower.

Li Wan was startled when he saw it.

The eldest lady seemed to notice that something was wrong in Li Wan's eyes, her face turned slightly red, and she continued: "I'm really worried that everyone will fight back and forth, but when the time comes, they will all end up empty-handed. This is not a pity, it means

As dozens of families have fallen from grace, the bloodline of our predecessors who have fought side by side with our ancestors and worked hard will also fall into mediocrity, and it is not even clear whether they can continue to reproduce."

Li Wan nodded secretly. In the world of cultivation, it is difficult for casual cultivators to survive, so it is very common for them to have no heirs.

"Actually, what I said, Li Daoyou can verify. Since I took charge of the business, I have continued my father's good governance and implemented a series of innovations. In less than ten years, the entire workshop has been completely renewed.

The workpieces he takes and cooks are the best in Tongshan.

If it weren't for me, Tiangongfang would still be like other workshops and sects, following the ancient practice of passing down the teachings from master to apprentice and cherishing the broom. Those handymen and apprentices would never have access to the difficult workpieces and the possibility of cooking them in an orderly manner, let alone

There will be casual workers, piece-rate commissions, contracts and other means, not to mention that for a long time, there are more and more weapon refiner children in Tiangongfang, and their families, relatives and friends cannot arrange it...

Elder Gu and the others only want the industry, power and dividends in the workshop, but they forget that these do not all mean taking, they should also contribute. They may be good at making weapons, but when it comes to running the industry,

I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend Chengdu, so how can I trust them with the hard work of my predecessors!"

When she talked about worries, her brows furrowed and her eyes looked worried. Then when she talked about being proud, her brows were beaming, full of pride and confidence.

Li Wan even vaguely felt that there was a radiant aura emanating from her body that made people dare not look at her. In an instant, her image was set off to an extremely great one.

"sharp!"

Li Wan secretly admired it.

What the eldest lady said is indeed consistent with his observations over the past few years.

The eldest lady is obviously not very old, but she has convinced everyone in the shop. Even Elder Gu and others are extremely afraid of her. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Now it seems that this is probably because she has brought radical changes to the village, and a series of good governance has benefited everyone in the village.

But if the eldest lady hadn't said it herself here, Li Wan really wouldn't have noticed that a series of good governance and regulations around him were all brought about by her, or were more or less related to her.

Li Wan had daily contact with the handyman apprentices, and he understood deeply that those people's respect and support for the young lady came from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is easy to understand. If the workshop is not managed well, the elders and their direct descendants are nothing more than sitting on their hands and slowly declining. But more small people who rely on Tiangongfang for survival, even those

A commoner from a noble family will immediately lose his job and no livelihood.

Now, Fangli is not only out of trouble, but also seems to be making continuous profits, with income increasing year after year. Just from the Youxian Valley that he handles, there is a new stable source of income, and there are many other unknown forces and sects.

The days to come will get better and better.

The elders may have seen the benefits brought by the eldest lady being in power, so they only fought for power and dividends, but they never dared to be ruthless and oust the eldest lady, a female figure, otherwise, when the eldest lady was young,

It's the best time to bully.

"...So I think that the difference in judgment is the root of the conflict between us. I originally wanted to do the best for the family, but the elders only saw the preservation of the ancestors' inheritance and were unwilling to accept outsiders. They felt that outsiders coming in would mean dividing the country.

It is really shallow to lose their power and wealth..."

When the eldest lady said this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Li Wan couldn't help but be moved: "So the eldest lady has been recruiting virtuous people and opening up financial avenues all these years just to go out?"

He seemed to understand somewhat.

Measurement can be interpreted as pattern, vision, and spirit. These are the qualities of looking at the world and expanding outward.

Greed and ambition are on the other hand. If these greed and ambitions are directed outward, that's fine, but if they are turned inward, they are like house dogs!

A person with big ideas may not be without greed and ambition, but this kind of greed and ambition is completely different from the level of elders who focus on a small workshop.

The eldest lady continued: "Young Taoist Li just mentioned that greed is not enough. In fact, greed is human nature. If it were anyone else, wouldn't they be greedy? Those ancestors of the elders also wanted to gain status and wealth.

Following their ancestors all the way to the dark side, this is because they not only saw the present, but also the future. Their magnanimity and capacity are not comparable to those of today's descendants.

I wonder if Li Daoyou has heard of the story of two brothers who saw wild geese flying by and even fought over how to distribute them before they could shoot them down? Now the two branches of the master and elder in the workshop are actually these two brothers, but if you open your eyes,

If you look outside, you will find that the mountains and forests are full of prey. As long as you work together, or even ask outsiders to help, you will definitely be able to harvest more. Just one or two, what does it matter? If you keep arguing, wait until someone else takes the lead.

It's too late.

When I say this to Fellow Daoist Li, I don't want to prove how great I am, I just want to make Fellow Daoist understand the path he is taking and what is important and what is not important on this path."

"I understand." Li Wan smiled, "I am willing to participate in this grand event with the eldest lady."

The eldest lady's words really made him see something completely different from the elders and others. If he could help the eldest lady get rid of the shackles of the elders, he would be able to realize his ambition and truly have his own foundation.

Now he somewhat understands what the eldest lady means. After all, he wants to broaden his mind and create a career first. When the opportunity comes, it will not be too late to slowly deal with Elder Rong and others.

There are irreconcilable conflicts between the elders' lineage and the boss's lineage. Sooner or later there will be a battle for power in the future, but with the eldest lady's methods, she will continue to make allies and win over the strong, and the accumulated strength will become stronger and stronger.

, naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

While Li Wan was having a heart-to-heart talk with the eldest lady, Elder Gu, Elder Rong and others were also frowning.

They looked at Hua Xuan, who was sitting in the hall, feeling lost. They all felt a little headache and didn't know how to comfort him.

Everyone was vaguely resentful of Hua Xuan's incompetence, but seeing that he was already like this, it was hard to say unpleasant words. After all, Hua Xuan was summoned back by them.

"The letter came, the letter came, Master An finally wrote!"

Suddenly, a steward from the elder lineage walked in excitedly, waving the jade slip in his hand.

This voice broke the embarrassing dullness, and also made Hua Xuan, who was in a state of despair, suddenly have sparkle in his eyes.

"Master's letter, what Master said, show me quickly!"

He said urgently like a drowning man grasping at straws.

The steward quickly opened the jade slip, took out the letter inside, and handed it to him.

"What did Master An say?" Elder Gu, Elder Rong and others asked curiously.

Hua Xuan watched for a while and then let out a long breath: "Master said that he happened to be wandering near Wushan and will come here soon!"

"What? Master An is coming?" Elder Gu and others were surprised, and then they were overjoyed.

Master An is a long-established master figure with high moral standing and unparalleled skills. Every master figure has the ability to refine treasures and treasures, and his friends are all the masters of major sects and true successors.

The connections, momentum, and strength possessed by such a high-ranking figure as the disciple are beyond what they can compare with.

There are also masters in Tiangongfang, but they don't have more than one palm. Even if they are full, they can only get three.

"Master An's visit to Wushan is a big event. We must be prepared to welcome it." After the surprise, Elder Gu and others discussed, "How should we welcome Master An?"

When Hua Xuan heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he handed the letter to Elder Gu and others: "Master said, don't make any noise about this matter."

"Master An really said that?" Elder Gu and others were surprised. They took it and took a look, only to find that just as Hua Xuan said, Master An had clearly stated in the letter that the matter of his coming here should not be revealed.

"This is really strange. Since Master An intends to come here, why doesn't he want to announce it? Could it be that..."

Suddenly, several people's bodies were shaken violently, and they all thought of an unexplainable possibility.

The biggest key to Master An's disciple Hua Xuan's failure here was the secret blessing method that Li Wan showed on the stage. This secret method could actually make a top-grade real weapon so powerful that it could easily destroy magic weapons of the same level.

situation.

"Master An, is he here for the secret method?"
