Chapter 1214 Eager Sign-ups
Su Tianhuang merely nodded slightly, saying nothing as he surveyed everyone. He then spoke in a deep voice, "The farce has ended. It's time for us to discuss the development of our Kyoto Su family in the recent period..."
Chen Xuan was not interested in Su Tianhuang's affairs and felt drowsy.
Towards the end of the meeting, Su Tianhuang's gaze finally fell upon Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi. "Yunxi, from now on, you are also returning to the Kyoto Su family. It's time to hand over the industries under your name to the Kyoto Su family."
"According to the rules, you need to hand over fifty percent of your assets. The remaining fifty percent will remain under your name. Of course, your industries can also leverage the influence of the Kyoto Su family to develop in Kyoto."
"I hope that in the future, your Vermillion Bird lineage can create new brilliance on the grand stage of the Kyoto Su family!"
Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback, looked up, and blinked, pondering something.
Su Yunxi didn't think much of it. "Thank you, Patriarch, for your kind words. I will complete the asset handover as soon as possible, but due to the vast quantity, it might take a little longer."
Su Tianhuang nodded slightly.
His gaze shifted to a middle-aged man in a suit and tie. He spoke sternly, "Regarding the cooperation between the Kyoto Su family and Xuan Yun Group, has it been completed?"
This middle-aged man, named Su Zhengye, was from the Dragon Vein and had been responsible for the cooperation matters between the Kyoto Su family and Xuan Yun Group.
Upon hearing this, Su Zhengye's face was filled with grievance. He lowered his head and remained silent.
"Speak up!"
Su Tianhuang's words were filled with an imposing aura, causing Su Zhengye to tremble.
Su Zhengye squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, managing to say, "Apologies, Patriarch. The people from Xuan Yun Group simply refuse to see us."
"How long has it been, and there's been no progress? What do you eat for the family to support you?"
Su Tianhuang erupted in anger.
Su Zhengye trembled in fear.
He felt extremely wronged in his heart. Why did the negotiation fall on him?
Those who were at odds with Su Zhengye showed schadenfreude.
"Patriarch, I've done my best. I've tried every method, but they just refuse to see us. I can't do anything," Su Zhengye said helplessly.
"Alright, you can sit down now!"
Su Tianhuang looked disgusted.
Su Zhengye quickly sat down, wanting to burrow into a hole as he looked at the contemptuous gazes around him.
Su Tianhuang said lightly, "The cooperation between the Kyoto Su family and Xuan Yun Group is of great significance to the Kyoto Su family. We absolutely cannot let this go. Who is willing to try?"
As he spoke, Su Tianhuang's gaze swept across the room.
Everyone his gaze landed on immediately lowered their heads.
The cooperation between Xuan Yun Group and the Kyoto Su family had been ongoing for over a month with no progress. Clearly, this was not an easy task. Therefore, instead of volunteering, everyone pretended to be uninvolved.
After all, in their eyes, this task was a hot potato.
"Trash, all of you are trash! What do I keep you for!"
"Do you think you are worthy of being members of the Kyoto Su family?"
Su Tianhuang's cold reprimand quietly echoed in the conference room.
Those with thinner skins would blush, but those with thicker skins remained unaffected. Regardless of what Su Tianhuang said, no one stepped forward to volunteer.
"Whoever is willing to volunteer and complete this task, I will list them as a candidate for the next Kyoto Su family Patriarch! If you feel you've reached the age, you can have your son or a designated person become a candidate!"
This statement was like a bombshell thrown into the crowd, instantly causing an uproar!
No one had expected Su Tianhuang to offer such a significant reward!
"My goodness, it's a candidate for the Su family Patriarch! I heard that the candidates for the Su family Patriarch are usually selected from the top five most outstanding individuals in the Kyoto Su family. The Kyoto Su family is full of talent, and currently, only two have made the list!"
"If one can become a candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch, they will possess immense authority within the Kyoto Su family!"
"If I can secure that project, wouldn't that allow me to become a candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch?"
"Good heavens, is there such a good thing?"
Many were ecstatic. The Kyoto Su family was not lacking in highly capable individuals, and becoming a candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch was incredibly difficult. Now that there was such a shortcut, it naturally attracted the attention of many.
"Yunxi, do you want to become a candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch?"
Chen Xuan looked at Su Yunxi, but found that Su Yunxi's eyes were clear, seemingly unaffected.
Su Yunxi shook her head. "Not interested."
Chen Xuan thought about it and agreed. They had discussed this before coming to Kyoto.
If the Kyoto Su family was too dismissive of them, they would not hesitate to leave the Kyoto Su family. Why would they care about the position of Kyoto Su family Patriarch?
Thus, he remained a bystander, watching it all unfold.
"Who is willing to undertake this task?"
Su Tianhuang was very pleased with everyone's expressions. He deliberately glanced towards Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi, with a peculiar look in his eyes.
"I am willing!"
"I am willing to try too!"
Many eagerly raised their hands!
"I will give you three days! Whoever can complete this task will be given a spot as a candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch."
Su Tianhuang immediately made a decision.
The monthly meeting ended, and the members of the Kyoto Su family left impatiently. Chen Xuan and Su Yunxi also turned to leave.
After everyone departed, only the Kyoto Su family Patriarch, Su Tianhuang, and the old butler remained in the vast hall!
Su Tianhuang looked at the old butler and asked lightly, "Do you think the Vermillion Bird lineage will be tempted?"
"Of course, they will be tempted!"
The old butler said with certainty, "It's the position of candidate for the Kyoto Su family Patriarch. How could they not be tempted?"
"That's good."
Su Tianhuang nodded slightly.
According to Su Tianhuang's plan, there were indeed some flaws.
His original intention was to forcefully assign this task to Su Yunxi and to test whether Chen Xuan could complete it.
If he could, that would be best. If not, then so be it.
However, he hadn't expected Chen Xuan to resolve the complaint so easily. Helplessly, Su Tianhuang could only devise another plan, bringing out the reward of candidacy.
The people of the Kyoto Su family began to mobilize their forces, using various connections and networks to befriend members of Xuan Yun Group and to complete the cooperation between the Kyoto Su family and Xuan Yun Group. One had to admire the connections of the Kyoto Su family members. From a small security captain to core members of Xuan Yun Group, all of them were approached by the Kyoto Su family!
Within just two to three hours, many people within Xuan Yun Group reported to Jiang Ning, requesting the cooperation between Xuan Yun Group and the Kyoto Su family. However, Jiang Ning neither agreed nor refused, quietly observing everything.
Gazing at the scenery outside the window, Jiang Ning had a contemplative expression and murmured, "I wonder how Mr. Chen is doing in Kyoto..."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and called Chen Xuan.
