Jia Jinyan was a shrewd old man. He keenly sensed Jia Huoyan's hostility towards Jia Musen. He frowned slightly. Obviously, he was not satisfied with Jia Huoyan's attitude. He opened his mouth and said, "Huoyan, I was discussing clan issues with Musen. Why did you come looking for me?"
"Eh … this …" Jia Huoyan looked left and right. He stammered and couldn't say anything. The matter he wanted to talk about this time was related to Jia Musen. However, he didn't know what to say in the presence of the person in question.
Even if he was stupid and impulsive, he could still hear Jia Jinyan's defense of Jia Musen. He finally reacted. This guy in front of him was the future Patriarch of the Jia Clan. He was no longer a nobody that he could chase away!
"It seems that the matter you want to talk about is not very important. Forget it, I also have something to talk to you about." Jia Jinyan didn't give Jia Huoyan too much time to think. He pointed to another chair in front of him and signaled for Jia Huoyan to sit down.
"May I ask why Grandpa is looking for me?" Jia Huoyan was sweating profusely. He carefully placed half of his butt on the chair and asked in fear and trepidation.
Jia Jinyan rummaged for a while and took out another set of documents. He pointed at the cover and said, "Since you are going to be an elder in the future, you should familiarize yourself with these documents! After reading the documents, write a plan for the future development of the Jia Clan. There will be a clan meeting in three days. At that time, give me the plan. "
"Ah?! Plan … a plan? " Jia Huoyan's mouth was wide open. He had a sluggish look on his face. Other than eating, drinking, and playing, he only knew how to cause trouble for the Jia Clan. His father, Jia Yubian, had to help him deal with the aftermath. How could such a brain-burning thing like a plan be written in such a short time?
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty? " Jia Jinyan looked at Jia Huoyan with a solemn expression and asked with concern. However, in his heart, he was extremely disappointed.
Fortunately! The position of the Clan Head had been passed on to Jia Musen. Otherwise, if it fell into the hands of Jia Huoyan, it would not take long for the Jia Clan to fall into his hands. Looking at how ignorant and incompetent Jia Clan was and how he didn't even know how to write a proposal, it would not be long before the Jia Clan fell into his hands!
"No … no problem …" How could Jia Huoyan dare to say there was any difficulty? He could only bite the bullet and agree.
He frowned as he looked at the stack of documents in front of him. He felt like his head was about to explode. How was he supposed to start with so many documents?
"That's good. Later, I will send someone to inform Jia Tuyao and Jia Renzhong, and ask them to make a plan as well. This will be the test for you four before you take office." Jia Jinyan's gaze moved back and forth between Jia Musen and Jia Huoyan, "I also want to see if you youngsters can help the Jia Clan make some changes and inject fresh blood into the Jia Clan!"
Jia Musen smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll definitely study the information diligently and do my best to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet."
"Me too!" Jia Huoyan hurriedly agreed. However, he secretly rolled his eyes at Jia Musen. You stinking brat, can you stop talking big here? If you can't complete the plan, let's see how you're going to clean up this mess! I won't, but I have my father!
Jia Jinyan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, you guys go back and look at the information first! If there's nothing else, don't waste my time! "
"Okay, Grandpa. I'll take my leave first." Jia Musen stood up and saluted. He faintly glanced at the absent-minded Jia Huoyan, picked up the information that belonged to him, turned around, and left the study.
"Grandpa, I … I'll also take my leave." Although Jia Huoyan looked reluctant, he had no other choice but to obey.
Watching the two of them leave, Jia Jinyan slightly sighed, then ordered a servant to fetch Jia Tuyao and Jia Renzhong. After that, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and fell into deep thought.
Jia Huoyan returned to his room, took out the information, and tried to look at it for a while. In less than five minutes, he felt dizzy and couldn't even tell north from south.
After persisting for a while, Jia Huoyan decisively threw the information on the table and gave up after turning a few pages.
When Jia Yubian heard the commotion, he walked out of the room and saw Jia Huoyan sitting there sulking. There was a messy pile of files on the table. He asked in surprise, "Huoyan, what are you smashing? Where did the information on the table come from? "
"Alas! Don't mention it! " Jia Huoyan dejectedly complained, "I saw that Xiao Chen was not in the family for the past two days, so I planned to go to grandpa's place to talk about the marriage proposal with Tang Suanjiao. I didn't expect that when I walked into the study, Jia Musen was also there! In the end, not only did the marriage proposal fail, grandpa also gave me this pile of information! "
"What information? What's it for? "Jia Yubian frowned and walked over.
"It's some information about the family business. Grandpa told me to finish reading these things, then write a plan about the family's development, and give it to him during the family meeting in three days." Jia Huoyan gloomily sat on the chair and explained.
"This … father is really too much. You haven't even touched the family business, how can you write a plan? The older he gets, the more muddle-headed he gets! " Jia Yubian flipped through the information on the table. It was indeed all kinds of reports of the Jia family in recent years. Some of the contracts looked quite familiar, and it just so happened that he had personally signed the contracts with other sects.
"That's right! I just looked through a few pages. I know those words individually, but after putting them together, they recognize me, but I don't recognize them! "Jia Huoyan held his head and looked distressed.
After Jia Yubian looked through a few documents, he had a rough idea in his heart. He smiled and said, "Alright, don't worry. I'll help you write the plan. You can focus on the marriage proposal!"
"Really? That's great! " Jia Huoyan was overjoyed. He slapped his thigh and said, "Father, you are a professional in this field. The plan that you write will definitely satisfy grandpa! Maybe he will be happy and agree to my marriage with Tang Sujiao! "
In excitement, Jia Huoyan immediately stood up, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the door. He was ready to run to the study room and talk to Jia Jinyan again.
"Wait! You can't be planning to go now, right? " Jia Yubian stopped Jia Huoyan and looked at him strangely. He thought to himself, Isn't this kid a little too impatient?
"Of course, as long as you finish the plan, I'll quickly go and talk to grandpa!" Jia Huoyan nodded as if it was a matter of course. "Otherwise, what if Xiao Chen comes back? He definitely won't agree to let me marry Tang Sujiao. "
Jia Huoyan didn't feel that anything was wrong at all. He just wanted to settle the marriage as soon as possible. That way, even if Xiao Chen came back, it would be useless!
