Chapter 1035: Chapter 775: Meeting Location and Dispute

The gathering took place in Chen Pingsheng’s ultra-private club.

It’s very secluded and can block all external signals, so being secretly filmed or overheard is impossible.

The older generation was discussing the next steps for the group, or a series of problems arising from inheritance issues.

The younger generation gathered separately; those who could be here were definitely from the elite class.

Their families start at over a hundred billion; without that, they can’t even qualify for a seat at the table.

“I say, Chen Xinyi, your dad is truly strange, bringing only his daughter-in-law and not his own son.”

“Otherwise, like you, within three years of inheriting the family business, its market value would drop from over three hundred billion to six hundred billion?”

Er Piya spoke bluntly, not giving face to anyone, but everyone was used to it.

These second-generation elites somewhat looked down on Su Xiaoxi; Er Piya had at least taught Su Xiaoxi for a while.

Her siblings could be commented on only within their family, not by outsiders.

“That was a strategic mistake. Give me a few more years, and I will surely return to the peak,” said Liu Wentai.

“A strategic mistake you say? You’ve squandered eighty percent of your family’s assets. Give it two more years, and your old man might kick the bucket from anger.”

“Chen Xinyi, I’m trying to speak to you sincerely, no need to be so harsh, right?”

Liu Wentai could look down on Su Xiaoxi and even openly or subtly mock Chen Lu for being the first in line for Old Chen Family’s inheritance but relying on his wife to hold up the scene.

But he absolutely wouldn’t dare to argue with Er Piya; who in the business world doesn’t know that no one’s face works with the Second Princess?

Like a bristling hedgehog, she does whatever she wants.

It just so happens that her family’s power speaks for itself, and she herself is unmatched in the second-generation circle. Who can say a word to her?

“Do I need your kindness?”

Er Piya mocked, “You just want to say my brother’s incompetent, right? He’s indeed average, but he wouldn’t be as bossy and pig-headed as you, harming both others and himself.”

“Oh, come on… you two quiet down a bit, will you? Our parents have worked together for decades, and the reason we can gather is because of their good relations.”

Tong Zelan had two sons and a daughter, all of considerable age, but her sons weren’t especially accomplished.

The only real heiress of the family business was the sole daughter, Tong Huiran.

The name seems ordinary but was actually chosen by a revered master based on her birth date and time.

She is also the one who gets along best with An’an.

“It’s no big deal, a little bickering won’t affect our personal relationships,”

others chimed in to calm the situation.

Now, don’t think they are all agreeable just because everyone sitting here isn’t random.

No matter how they quarrel, they would help each other privately.

Tong Huiran also asked An’an nearby, “Your father truly has no plans to let your brother inherit part of the family group?”

“No plans,”

An’an replied, “My brother’s temperament really isn’t suited for the cutthroat business world. He’s made it clear to my father that he just wants to be a leisurely wealthy man in the future.”

“That’s for the best.”

Tong Huiran agreed, “My mother always says your father is a true entrepreneur, a red-hatted merchant with great wisdom. Of the three of you in your family, only you have inherited a part of the family business, while your sister has taken a different path, venturing into global capital. She’s indeed uniquely talented in that aspect.

“As for your brother, since he neither enjoys the business world nor has the talent for it, instead of letting him inherit the family group, it’s better for him to be a wealthy, carefree second-generation like now, which is far better than Liu Wentai, who squandered eighty percent of the family’s assets in just a few short years of running the business.”

Liu Wentai has become a joke in the circle now, and his father urgently contacted Tong Zelan, requesting the Seven Chiefs to regroup in Xiangjiang.

In fact, it’s to solve the current crisis at home, to clean up the mess left by Liu Wentai.

Poor guy, the more he’s hit, the harder he wants to work to prove himself.

In terms of effort, there’s really no question.

In terms of intelligence, he’s definitely at the bottom of the group.

“Do you guys really have to keep looking at me when talking about these things?”

Liu Wentai always felt everyone was mocking him, and he had no achievements to retort with.

These are not his sycophantic friends; if you want the truth, just find a group of people high up the ladder.

In the past, Liu Wentai only heard flattering words among friends and in the company.

He felt like he was the never-wrong favored child of heaven.

When he met someone like Er Piya, she would reprimand him to the point his own mom wouldn’t recognize him.

“Just say less, will you? Uncle Liu isn’t wrong; you’re a person who can only listen to good words.”

Tong Huiran instinctively reprimanded him too. Unsurprisingly, the first to fall out among the Seven Chiefs must be this Liu Wentai family.

Originally, the family had assets of two to three hundred billion, but they produced a “wise guy” like Liu Wentai, who aims too high and acts too lightly.

In just a few short years, Old Liu’s family is now riddled with crises.

If it weren’t for his dad being one of the Seven Chiefs, the family business would have been attacked by large capital long ago, and control snatched away.

Chen Pingsheng hasn’t spoken up yet, so others are hesitant to add insult to injury.

After all, who could financially outperform Old Chen Family if it really came down to it?

He’s not taking advantage of this golden opportunity, so how could anyone else?

Even trying hard as a second-generation elite is a big pitfall.

“You’re not all here just to hit me today, right?”
