Luocheng, one of the economic hubs in southeastern China, is also one of the most prosperous big cities in the country.
Countless funds flow and gather in this city every day. I don’t know how many people have been successful and buried in this prosperous city.
And the real controller of this city, the family named
——The Li family.
Being involved in several major fields such as people's livelihood, medical care, finance, scientific research, etc., those with strong capital can truly be called a wealthy family.
In this era where the word "family" is used to describe something strange, families actually exist. Some are involved in the economic field, and some are involved in politics.
Relatives under the same line have their respective businesses connected with each other to form a huge industry.
This is how the family was formed.
At this moment, in the northern suburbs of Luocheng, there is a huge manor with more than a dozen villas of various sizes.
The top management of the Li family gathered together and were holding a family meeting in the main house.
Gou Yu was wearing the white coat he wore in the research room and was sitting at the corner of the round table, watching his nominal "uncle", "uncle" and other relatives arrive.
Participate in this meeting that only senior members of the Li family can attend.
No, only high-level people, and he can be considered one of them.
Inheriting his mother's outstanding talent and being used by his father to strengthen his education since childhood, he is the core person in charge of the Li family's latest and most cutting-edge scientific research studio.
Although he has just reached adulthood, in fact, he has been leading the research laboratory assigned to him by his family for seven years.
From the initial assistant, to the supervisor, to the person in charge, and finally to the proposer of the core theory.
Gou Yu spent seven years.
The price is his pale and deformed life up to now.
The warmest memory in Gou Yu's memory was when his mother was still alive. She held him, who was still a child, in the living room and watched TV.
Gou Yu's mother is a very powerful person. She founded several companies from scratch and eventually married into the Li family. In the eyes of normal people, it is a brilliant and perfect life. However...
She is gone now.
Only Gou Yu was left with all the property in her name.
Gou Yu twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand and watched the number of people on the round table increase one by one, until finally two people walked in from the door.
An expressionless middle-aged man in his thirties and a smiling bearded man in his fifties.
Both of them were wearing dark straight suits and ties, and they were walking slowly towards this side. When they passed Gou Yu, the middle-aged man suddenly frowned and stopped.
Putting his hand on Gou Yu's shoulder, with a slight exertion, a distant and indifferent voice sounded cold and ruthless:
"Li Yu, when you see me and your uncle, why don't you stand up and say hello?"
Li Xianyi looked at Gou Yu with no fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was not his son.
"This is the highest-level meeting of the Li family. It is not a place where I should discuss seniority or get close to the family head or uncle."
Perfect answer.
Without any panic, as if he had already thought about it, Gou Yu spoke calmly.
The impeccable answer made Li Xianyi frown. He was about to say something, but beside him, Gou Yu's uncle, Li Deren, smiled warmly:
"Xianyi, Xiaoyu is right. This is a meeting place, not suitable for talking about family ties and seniority."
After listening, Li Xianyi took back his hand and nodded, then one of them sat on the main seat and the other on the secondary seat.
"Then let's start this meeting."
At the conference round table, middle-aged men in suits and elegantly dressed women were discussing one matter after another. Gou Yu, who was wearing a white coat, sat in the corner without saying a word.
Seems out of place.
"By the way, Li Yu will be an adult this year. It's time to arrange a future position for him."
The third uncle of the man sitting opposite Gou Yu smiled and started talking.
Oh, haven't you already arranged my position?
"Well, indeed, in view of his outstanding contributions to the Li family in the field of scientific research, the position of the core person in charge of our Ancheng Research Laboratory is still vacant."
Then let me serve as a scientific research tool for you for the rest of your life?
Gou Yu looked in front of him with an unchanged face, as if he was not the person being discussed at the moment.
"Oh, by the way, since you are already devoting yourself to scientific research," Li Deren smiled warmly and unilaterally decided Gou Yu's future life.
No one asked Gou Yu for his opinion.
"Then the properties that your mother left to you before will be left to the family to take care of."
Li Deren smiled kindly, like an elder who takes good care of the younger generation.
If they didn't know the inside story, some people might really think that he really wanted to take care of the younger generation.
But Gou Yu knows that he, doesn't...
They just finally found the opportunity to take away the industries they have coveted for a long time.
"Although it is said that it was left by your mother to you, you must know that without the Li family's industries, it would not be possible to develop."
At this time, a woman with heavy makeup said with a sharp smile.
Really? The second aunt’s family can also get a share of the pie?
Gou Yu glanced at her and continued to remain silent.
"Let me hand it over to your brother for the time being. You can concentrate on studying the tasks assigned to your laboratory."
In the end, the man in the main seat made a decision calmly, as if there was nothing wrong or wrong.
Everything seems to be taken for granted by these people.
"Those properties have been robbed by your mother for so many years. It's time to return them to the family."
The fourth uncle, who had always been eyeing a medical institution under Gou Yu's name that was making profits every year, also interjected.
Gou Yu's hands were clenched tightly under the round table, then loosened, clenched again, and loosened again.
"Don't be dissatisfied, this is the family's decision."
As if aware of the turbulence in his mood under his expressionless face at this moment, Li Xianyi frowned and said coldly.
In other words, it was an order.
Don't be dissatisfied?
Tell me not to be dissatisfied!?
Everything my mother left to me, now you want to take it away with empty words. You told me that you want me...
Don’t be dissatisfied!?
Gou Yu raised his head and looked at Li Xianyi. This was the first time in this meeting that father and son looked at each other.
No matter if he treats himself as a tool and doesn't give himself anything, even if he can't go to school and make friends like normal people, even if he has long been accustomed to the cold machinery of the laboratory, someone will monitor and control him at all times.
Gou Yu thinks he can tolerate these things, but...
You actually want to take away the last...my last thing!?
Gou Yu's hands on his knees were tightly grasped, but his face was still expressionless as he glanced at the faces of everyone on the round table.
Each of them is hypocritical and complacent, acting like they only care about themselves.
Sudden!
Li Deren, who was in second place, suddenly rang with his cell phone!
He frowned and picked it up. After hearing just one sentence, his expression changed slightly!
Then he said to Li Xianyi with an ugly face, and his voice echoed in the meeting room.
"We just received a warning from an unknown source."
Li Xianyi frowned slightly: "What warning?"
"Your Li family has provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked."
"Have you found out the source?"
Li Xianyi knew that a simple threat would not reach their ears.
Li Deren looked uneasy and ugly. He could no longer show off his gentle look just now, and said in a deep voice:
"From the capital!"
"What?"
"At the same time, my acquaintances at the Department of Transportation told me that they had monitored a car without a license plate on the southern edge of Los Angeles and was rushing towards us."
