It stands to reason that the status of the Lai family is definitely not considered a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people. What's more, how can the choice of the head of the Lai family be decided by outsiders?
"You'll know it when you see it."
Lai Changbai didn't explain much and got into the car directly.
Although I have some doubts in my heart, after all, the Lai family only has money. Money may be able to solve many problems in this world, but you have to admit that some problems cannot be solved by money.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible for the Lai family to truly have no taboos. There are still people who can check and balance them.
Thinking of this, I got in the car directly.
Since there is such a big shot who wants to see me, I naturally have to go and meet him.
The car drove all the way back to Lai's manor. In the huge living room, the so-called big shot was already waiting here.
I originally thought he would be an old man or something, but I didn't expect that this so-called big shot turned out to be a young man in his thirties, with an average appearance, ordinary clothes, and a very easy-going person.
"This is Mr. Si."
Lai Changbai introduced me first, showing a kind of respect in his behavior and speech.
"Are you the young master of the Lai family?"
Mr. Si said this and shook hands with me, with an easy-going smile on his face.
"Lai Changming."
I said neither humble nor arrogantly.
"You are really different from the rest of the Lai family."
Mr. Si sat down and looked at Lai Changbai and others as he spoke.
"Because for the time being, I am not considered a member of the Lai family."
I said and smiled meaningfully.
"That's right. If you admit that you are a member of the Lai family, I guess I won't come."
Mr. Si nodded, then looked at me and said: "But since I'm already here, let's have a chat. You can tell me any ideas you have. Although I can't be the head of the Lai family, my
The seniors of the Lai family will still listen to their opinions."
He said this very modestly, saying it was an opinion, but I feel that to the Lai family, it might be more like an order, and he might just have to directly appoint someone as the head of the family.
What is the origin of such a character?
To be honest, I'm really curious.
"My idea is actually very simple. They took away this huge family property from my father back then. Now I want to get back what belongs to my father, so I want to be the head of the Lai family."
I straightened my back and said firmly.
"Well, I heard Mr. Changbai talk about this before."
Mr. Si nodded and said thoughtfully: "Actually, I don't care which of you is the head of the family, because it is your own business, but one thing is that the Lai family must not fall, because it affects the country.
Luck, and the Lai family is a sign. If it falls, the impact will be great. The higher-ups also attach great importance to this matter, so I hope you can solve it as soon as possible. If the stalemate continues like this, the higher-ups will have no choice but to give up.
The Lai family has set up a new sign, and I think this is not what you want to see."
At the end of the conversation, Mr. Si looked at Lai Changbai meaningfully.
"It's not that I don't want to give up, it's just that I don't feel at ease if the huge family property of the Lai family is directly handed over to a young boy like him. Besides, he doesn't know anything about the family affairs. If the entire family is handed over directly to
I don’t know what it will look like in his hands.”
Lai Changbai said somewhat unconvinced.
"Then think of a way. You don't know how to manage the family business. You can learn it. You can also slowly understand it if you don't understand it. But once the good fortune goes away, it will never come back. I think you who study Feng Shui should know this better than me.
.”
Mr. Si raised his hand as he spoke.
What he said was actually a statement. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that he wanted Lai Changbai to compromise.
"Since Mr. Si has said so, I have nothing to say. Okay, let him be the head of the Lai family. However, our brothers will still take care of the family business for the time being. When he can run it by himself, I will naturally
It was delivered into his hands."
Lai Changbai sighed slightly as he spoke, and finally compromised.
"That's right. Everything can be discussed and we can always find a way to solve it. Continuing in a stalemate will not benefit anyone, so why bother?"
Mr. Si said and spread his hands.
"Mr. Si is right, I am too old-fashioned."
Lai Changbai had a sincere attitude.
"Okay, now that the problem has been solved, I won't bother you anymore."
Mr. Si said and stood up.
Before leaving, he shook my hand again and said with a smile: "We still have many areas where we need to cooperate in the future. I hope that the Lai family will continue to be in your hands in the future."
"There should be changes."
I looked at the other person and said meaningfully.
"That's your own business, as long as it doesn't affect the overall situation."
Mr. Si smiled and left directly.
Lai Changbai and others hurriedly sent them out.
Although I still can't figure out the identity of Mr. Si, judging from the attitude of Lai Changbai and others towards him, this man must have a very important position in Kyoto.
If this is the case, then I am afraid it can only be a figure in the political circle.
As soon as Mr. Si left, the entire Lai family suddenly became quiet.
Lai Changbai and the others fell into silence, and the scene was indescribably depressing.
In fact, I can understand this, because now I am nominally the head of the Lai family, but in fact, I don't seem to be. After all, the core of power is still in the hands of Lai Changbai.
As for the rest of the family, they were also semi-embarrassed at this time, and were somewhat in a dilemma.
"Brother, since this matter has been decided, should we find a day to let Chang Ming enter the family tree first?"
After being silent for a long time, Lai Changkong finally couldn't help but ask.
"From now on, I will declare to the outside world that Lai Changming will take over as the head of the Lai family. I will find a good day in the next two days to give him a genealogy and conduct a handover ceremony."
Lai Changbai seemed to have given up struggling and announced directly in front of everyone in the Lai family.
"Dad, you don't really want to abdicate, do you? You have worked hard for the Lai family for so many years, so why should you pass it on to him? We can discuss it with Mr. Si again, right? There will always be a way around it.
leeway."
When Lai Yunting heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Yunting, this family business is not the result of your father's hard work, but is passed down from our ancestors. You must understand this."
Lai Changkong quickly reminded Lai Yunting.
"It's not my second uncle. What do you mean? Even if this family business is passed down from ancestors, then now that my father is about to abdicate, I should be the one to take over the Lai family. When will it be his turn to be an outsider?"
Lai Yunting naturally disagreed, because he knew that once I took over the Lai family, he would have nothing to do with him in the family from now on.
"Do you have the capital?"
Lai Changbai glared at him fiercely, and then said coldly: "From now on, I will be your dandy, and don't have any more crooked thoughts. Now the Lai family has no final say in my hands."
