"Brother, it's too rude of you to drink with the Xie family without inviting us?"
After a loud noise, a rough male voice followed.
He saw.
A man with a full beard, leading more than ten men and women, rushed in from the door!
The Zhu family head was clearly very familiar with the person in front of him.
The moment the bearded man entered, the Zhu family head frowned slightly and stood up.
"This is?"
The Xie family head was already drunk.
He was startled by the loud noise, and his mind cleared up a bit!
The Zhu family head's face sank, and he didn't speak.
However, Zhu Ling'er's little face turned red with anger when she saw the newcomer.
She said angrily, "Third Uncle, what are you trying to do?"
Third Uncle?
This was the third son of the Zhu family?
The Xie family head looked at the newcomer thoughtfully.
The bearded man looked at Zhu Ling'er dismissively and said, "When adults are talking, why are you, a little girl, interrupting?"
"I think Big Brother usually spoils you too much!"
When Zhu Ling'er heard this, her face turned even redder, and she glared at him in a fit of rage.
But she was afraid of being called ill-mannered and embarrassing the Zhu family head's reputation.
Zhu Ling'er could only stubbornly hold back the words in her mouth and not speak them!
Seeing Zhu Ling'er cornered.
The Zhu family head then slowly said, "Zhu Changming, if you want to throw a tantrum, go somewhere else!"
"This is my home!"
Zhu Changming, the bearded man, only sneered when he heard the Zhu family head.
Instead of leaving, he swaggered to a seat.
He raised his head and looked at the Zhu family head with an arrogant and rebellious expression.
"Big Brother, you've been the family head for too long, and you've probably forgotten?"
"This is the old Zhu family manor, not your own house!"
"Originally, I couldn't be bothered to curry favor with you, but you made the decision for everyone and want to cooperate with the Xie family?"
"Has this matter been discussed in a meeting? How can you decide on your own!"
Zhu Changming was clearly good at stirring up emotions.
After his speech.
The men and women following Zhu Changming also expressed their dissatisfaction.
"Yeah, Big Brother, this is too much. How can you make decisions by yourself?"
"What's wrong with cooperating with the Shi family? Why do we have to help this fallen clan, the Xie family!"
"Family Head, aren't you leading all of us to our doom!"
The crowd's words were like sharp arrows, piercing the Zhu family head's heart!
The Zhu family head's face suddenly sank, and a hint of indescribable coldness appeared in his expression.
"Presumptuous!"
"The guests are still here, and you dare to make a scene?"
The Zhu family head reprimanded.
Hearing this, the Xie family head knew that this was definitely a family matter of the Zhu family.
Immediately, they all started to retreat.
"Zhu family head, it seems that your family's opinions are not yet unified."
"How about we leave for now and come back when your opinions are unified?"
"We can still discuss the terms as agreed upon earlier!"
The Xie family head said smoothly.
Although he was angry about the insulting words Zhu Changming had just said about the Xie family,
the Xie family head was still rational and knew that this was the Zhu family's business.
It was not his place as an outsider to point fingers!
Therefore, he could only swallow his anger.
He would come back later when the Zhu family head had resolved his internal affairs!
The Zhu family head was about to agree, as no one wanted their family shame to be seen by outsiders.
However, Zhu Changming spoke first.
"Leave? Heh heh."
"You'd best stay and witness it firsthand!"
"See if this so-called Zhu family head can make the decision to cooperate with your Xie family!"
Zhu Changming's words were full of confidence.
As if he were the head of the Zhu family.
The Xie family head indeed had doubts in his heart.
The Zhu family head's authority was challenged, and he didn't want to expose his family shame in front of outsiders.
But now he couldn't care less.
He pointed directly at Zhu Changming's nose and cursed, "Zhu Changming, don't push your luck!"
"Who the Zhu family cooperates with, and when we cooperate, I don't make the decision, do you?"
"What are your intentions in gathering others here!"
Zhu Changming, facing this scolding, simply picked his ear.
Disdain flickered in his eyes.
What intentions?
Of course, it was to overthrow the Zhu family head!
Zhu Changming had harbored this thought for a long time.
Every major family adhered to the principle that the winner takes all.
That is to say, the one chosen as the heir.
Would inherit the entire family's industry.
To maximize profits.
And other family members would either hold passive shares, only receiving dividends to live on.
Unable to interfere in the company's operations.
Or they would work in the family business, earning the same salary as others!
Logically speaking.
The Zhu family head had been in power for so many years and had always stood firm.
Whether in terms of methods or decisions, he could benefit most of the Zhu family.
Others should not have had other thoughts.
The problem was.
The Zhu family head only had one daughter and no sons!
Women would eventually get married.
Although the entire Zhu family outwardly showed no signs, they were all calculating in their hearts.
They couldn't let Zhu Ling'er marry and take the entire Zhu family as her dowry, could they?
Thus, the idea of overthrowing the Zhu family head arose!
And today, it was an opportunity Zhu Changming found after hearing the news.
To be honest.
In the dispute between the Xie family and the Shi family, it was most beneficial for the Zhu family to help the Xie family.
The Zhu family head's decision was correct!
But so what?
Zhu Changming gathered other brothers and sisters, and even collateral branches, and gave a brainwashing speech.
He said that the Zhu family head was only indulging Zhu Ling'er, hence the cooperation with the Xie family.
He also said that the Zhu family head wanted to use the Zhu family's warriors to charge forward.
Indirectly weakening the rights of others!
Originally, everyone had their own hidden motives, and with Zhu Changming's instigation,
naturally, a large group of people rushed over to demand an explanation.
The Zhu family head looked at the people with various expressions in the hall, and his heart grew cold by half.
Look.
This was the people of the Zhu family!
In the past, when the Zhu family head could bring them benefits, they would flock to him like dogs.
They couldn't wait to guard the Zhu family head.
Now, they found an excuse to try and overthrow him.
The Zhu family head laughed in anger and said to Zhu Changming, "Since you disagree with helping the Xie family, then tell me, what benefits would we get from helping the Shi family?"
After all, the Shi family had never shown the slightest sincerity!
The initial hint from the Shi family head was that they were only willing to give up one-tenth of the profits.
One-tenth!
What was the use of that?
The Zhu family's participation in this dispute was not just to get a small share.
It was to divide equally with the other party, or even more, thereby containing the opponent and achieving stability.
If they only got one-tenth, after the Shi family annexed the Xie family, the first one they would deal with would be the Zhu family!
"Heh heh, aren't the benefits obvious? We don't have to sacrifice our Zhu family members' lives!"
Zhu Changming said directly.
