The founder of the Seven Star Radiance was the Jiang Family. Back then, the Jiang Family had gathered the other six largest families in Hua Xia. They were all big families in the world trade. Their goal was very simple, which was to monopolize the entire world trade business.
The Jiang Family had done it. Because they controlled the largest amount of resources, they had the highest authority among the seven families.
This authority did not make the Jiang Family arrogant. Instead, the Jiang Family used their own advantages to expand the Seven Star Radiance, which stabilized their own position.
Many things were fought for by themselves. Everything the Jiang Family had was fought for by themselves. That was why they were envied by the other families, especially the Tao Family.
The Seven Star Radiance's board of directors was established when the Seven Star Radiance was established. The chairman of the board of directors was alternated between the Jiang Family and the Tao Family.
The reason was simple. These two families were the largest and most powerful. That was why they had the qualifications to be the chairman of the board of directors.
However, due to some conflicts, the Seven Star Radiance changed. The Jiang Family and the Tao Family could no longer be the chairman of the board of directors. Instead, it was given to the weakest of the seven families, the Zhou Family, to arrange people.
This could balance the relationships between all the families and alleviate the pressure on many sides.
From then on, the board of directors was given to the Zhou Family to manage. Even now, the Zhou Family still arranged people to manage the board of directors.
Although the Zhou Family was now standing behind the other families, this was something that could not be helped. Even the Jiang Family could not withstand the siege. The Zhou Family, the weakest family, obviously did not dare to be rash.
However, the people the Zhou Family arranged in the board of directors were still fair. After a long time, the Zhou Family understood that they had to rely on the Tao Family to gain a stable foothold.
It was not difficult for the Tao Family to find Zhou Da of the board of directors to arrange some simple things. Tao Yinan believed that Uncle Da of the board of directors would definitely give her face.
After all, Tao Ruhu was Tao Yinan's subordinate. The Zhou Family was very clear about this, and so was Zhou Da.
Therefore, Tao Yinan used this point. The Zhou Family would not reject the Tao Family's request.
Tao Ruhu rushed to Shen Jiang as fast as he could and found the board of directors of the seven families with ease.
Zhou Da, as usual, was handling some miscellaneous matters in the board of directors.
Due to the recent purge of the Jiang family by the six great clans, there was almost nothing left to do in the council. Zhou Da was also happy to be idle.
After all, he was a man in his fifties. The yellow soil had already reached his chest, and he didn't have much to pursue in life.
Right now, Zhou Da's only pursuit was to live out his later years in peace. No matter what kind of trouble the Seven Star Radiance would cause, as long as it didn't affect him, then everything would be fine.
When Tao Ruhu appeared in front of Zhou Da, Zhou Da's heart was very conflicted.
Everyone in the Seven Great Clans knew that these two experts were Tao Yinan's right-hand men, and Tao Yinan was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
Everyone in the Zhou Family knew what kind of person Tao Yinan was. It could even be said that no man in the Tao Family could be compared to her. She was such a worrisome woman.
So when Tao Ruhu came in front of Zhou Da, Zhou Da was very conflicted. But even though he was conflicted, he couldn't express it on his face.
"Uncle Da, it seems like you've been quite free recently." Tao Ruhu was still polite to Zhou Da. "Did I disturb you by coming here at this time?"
"How could that be? Of course not." Zhou Da smiled. "Why do you have time to come here?"
"I don't visit a temple without a reason," Tao Ruhu said.
Zhou Da knew this was for sure. "Come, I'll make you a cup of tea. The two of us can sit down and talk slowly. If there's anything you need me to do, I'll do my best."
"This matter can only be solved by Uncle Da." Tao Ruhu didn't stand on ceremony with him.
After Zhou Da made tea and the two of them sat down, Tao Ruhu directly explained his purpose for coming.
"You've heard about the Jiang family's matter. Now, there are still some small matters that need to be dealt with," Tao Ruhu said. "And this matter has been decided by drawing lots, and it still falls on the Tao Family."
Zhou Da smiled. "Of course, I've heard about this."
"What do you think about this matter?" Tao Ruhu asked.
"I feel that this is the best thing to do. After all, the Tao family is the most powerful among all of our families. We will be more at ease if we leave the aftermath to the Tao family." Zhou Da said, "That's what everyone is thinking."
Tao Ruhu said, "But our Tao Family doesn't think so. Hahaha … When it comes to splitting the benefits, everyone is fighting to get it. But no one is willing to clean up the mess. It's the Tao Family that has to do it."
Zhou Da was stunned. He didn't know what Tao Ruhu was trying to say.
"This matter is more or less unfair," Tao Ruhu said. Tao Ruhu said, "At the very least, I feel that the Tao Family's contribution is much greater than the other families'."
Zhou Da laughed dryly. "Capable people do more work."
"Uncle Da, it's true that capable people do more work. But it's also true that capable people do more work. " Tao Ruhu said, "But when everyone was sharing the spoils, the Tao Family didn't get an extra share. Everyone got an equal share."
Zhou Da didn't say anything. He didn't know what the exact situation was, but it should be true.
If the Tao Family wanted to get an extra share of the spoils, they would definitely be opposed by the other five families. He would definitely be the first to know about this conflict.
After all, his job as a council member was to deal with such matters.
"Uncle Da, I don't know what you think. But regarding this matter, I just want to say that it's unfair," Tao Ruhu said.
Zhou Da laughed dryly. "Yes, it's indeed a little unfair. But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, the Tao Family's strength is in front of us. This is the Tao Family's ability."
"It's true that the Tao Family is capable, but our Miss Tao has encountered some trouble on Guqin Island. We need someone to step forward and help us," Tao Ruhu said. "Uncle Da, I really need your help with this matter."
Zhou Da was stunned. He had heard about the Tao Family's mission to eliminate the root of the problem.
Because this matter could offend Empress Zuo Lengyue, it was still a hot topic among the six great families.
No one was willing to get involved in this matter. Everyone hoped that they could completely extricate themselves from this threat.
"Hehe …" Zhou Da's expression was somewhat awkward. "If even the Tao Family can't resolve this matter, it's even more impossible for the other families to do anything."
"Why is it impossible?" Tao Ruhu said. "Actually, at times, it depends on everyone's strength."
Zhou Da was somewhat helpless. "I know what you mean. You want me to help you gather people, but … no one will be willing to do this."
"Uncle Da, if I really only wanted you to convey this message, I wouldn't have wasted so much effort to come here," Tao Ruhu said. "I know that no one will want to get involved in this matter. That's why I came to you."
Zhou Da's expression was somewhat ugly. He already had a rough idea of Tao Ruhu's true intentions.
Faced with such a situation, Zhou Da really didn't know what to do.
He didn't dare to make such a decision, but the Tao Family was standing in front of him. He also didn't dare to offend them. Therefore, this was the most uncomfortable point.
"Uncle Da, I know that you have a way. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you." Tao Ruhu smiled. "Our Miss Tao said that other than Uncle Da, there's no one else more suitable for this matter."
This was a straightforward coercion. Zhou Da looked awkwardly at Tao Ruhu and sank into silence.
