Once this voice was heard, everyone looked towards the direction of the main door.
Other than the most outstanding business genius of the Hong Family, Hong Weiguo, there was no one else who could enter without prior notice!
Seeing that Hong Weiguo had arrived, quite a number of people started whispering again. "It's Fifth Uncle. He usually dotes on Hong Dali. There's going to be a good show to watch this time." "Doting is one thing, but when it comes to the family rules, even Fifth Uncle can't just change it, right?" "It's hard to say. Fifth Uncle isn't an ordinary person.
"Hehe, Weiguo, you're here." Upon seeing Hong Weiguo, Hong Jianye's eyes flashed coldly. He smiled and said, "Speaking of which, Dali's eighteenth birthday is coming soon. The family rules cannot be changed. I have to play the bad guy for the sake of the family's development. Don't blame me, Weiguo."
Although he was very clear about his fourth brother Hong Jianye's plan, the Hong Family Manor wasn't a good place to fall out with him. Hong Weiguo only nodded slightly and said, "I know." As he spoke, he looked towards Hong Tu and said, "Father, Dali's body was too weak previously. It's rare that he has recovered a little recently, but it's just barely. Because of his body, Dali has never been involved in business matters before. Now that his body has recovered, isn't it a little too cruel to ask him to accept the talent test? "
Hong Tu nodded and said, "Yes, I've considered this reason before, but …"
Hong Tu didn't finish his sentence. Hong Weiguo naturally understood the reason.
As expected, Hong Jianye smiled and said, "Weiguo, you've forgotten. Our third brother is even worse than Dali. He has been lacking in intelligence since he was young. Even so, he could only become an outsider and retire peacefully because of the family rules. Everyone in the Hong Family knows about this. Although you spoil my nephew, you can't just make an exception, right? "
Hong Weiguo's eyes flashed coldly, but he quickly retracted it. He naturally understood what Hong Jianye said. In their generation, the eldest and second eldest had ordinary qualifications and could barely earn a small percentage of profits every year. The third eldest was the most tragic. He was born with insufficient intelligence and could only be considered not stupid. Now, the family had chosen a place for him to retire. Fourth Brother Hong Jianye was quite capable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to kill his way into the Hong Family Manor. Now that there was an example, Hong Weiguo couldn't object. He coldly humphed and said, "Speaking of which, are you that confident that Dali won't pass the inspection?"
"It's not a matter of confidence." Hong Jianye smiled and said, "I only wanted to uphold the family rules. The heavens have taken pity on me. I didn't do it because of my own selfishness."
"Haha, good!" Hearing Hong Jianye's words, Hong Weiguo's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times. His huge palms trembled slightly, but he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Since you've said so, I won't say any more nonsense!" Hong Weiguo stood on the spot and looked around. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Hehe, in my eyes, such a big Hong Family is not even worth a strand of my Hong Dali's hair! If you want to inspect it, sure! However, I have some words for you. Don't regret it when the time comes! "
With that, Hong Weiguo turned and left, never looking back!
"Wait!"
Seeing that Hong Weiguo was about to walk out of the hall, Third Elder Hong Ying, who had been sitting quietly at the side, shouted, "Weiguo, have you really decided to do this? You're willing to make an enemy out of the entire family?! "Her shout shocked everyone in the meeting room. Suddenly, everyone realized the meaning behind Hong Weiguo's words.
He actually wanted to say that if Hong Dali didn't pass the inspection, he, Hong Weiguo, the most outstanding genius of the current generation of the Hong Family, would be expelled from the Hong Family!
If that was really the case, then things would really be troublesome.
Hong Weiguo was a genius, a true business genius. Even if he were to leave the Hong Family with nothing, he could casually enter any family and cause huge trouble for the Hong Family. That kind of trouble, no one could handle it. It could even be said that even if Hong Dali squandered ten times or a hundred times more, the money he spent would be far less than the losses caused by Hong Weiguo being expelled from the Hong Family!
Even his fourth brother, Hong Jianye, upon hearing this, couldn't laugh anymore.
If Hong Weiguo were to be expelled from the Hong Family, not to mention his own businesses, even his own businesses would be destroyed in an instant. There was absolutely no doubt about this. At this moment, Hong Jianye finally realized that he was still too weak and didn't have the ability to challenge Hong Weiguo.
"I've said it before, in my eyes, the entire Hong Family is not even worth a strand of my Dali's hair!" Hong Weiguo slowly turned around and stared at Hong Ying. In a deep voice, he said, "No matter what, Dali is my son, my only son. No matter if he is a dragon or a worm, he is still my son. The blood that flows in his body is my, Hong Weiguo's, blood. Hehe, what's the point of being the most outstanding genius of the current generation of the Hong Family if I can't even protect my own son? Even if I earn a billion or a trillion, what's the point?! "
Once he said this, everyone in the meeting room was completely silent.
Everyone could feel Hong Weiguo's determination from his words. Now, there were only two choices. One, continue the inspection. If Hong Dali didn't pass, Hong Weiguo would be expelled from the Hong Family. Two, cancel the inspection and break the family rules.
It had to be said that these two choices, no matter which one it was, were not easy to choose.
At this moment, everyone in the conference room had their eyes fixed on Hong Jianye, the instigator of all this. Of course, the gazes in their eyes weren't that friendly. If they really forced Hong Weiguo out of the Hong Family, no one could bear the consequences.
Hong Jianye's face was full of cold sweat. He really didn't think that Hong Weiguo would actually take this step and dare to take this step! Now that things had come to this, he could only force himself to hold on. Otherwise, he would no longer have a foothold in the Hong Family. Hong Jianye tried his best to calm himself down, but he didn't have enough confidence. "Weiguo, this is also because of the family rules. You can't blame me."
"Why should I blame you?" Hong Weiguo sneered and said, "Of course, I understand what you're thinking."
"Enough!" Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tenser and tenser, Hong Tu suddenly patted the chair and said in a deep voice, "Weiguo, you are my son, the son that I value the most and the most outstanding. I have liked Dali since young. Today, I will take advantage of my seniority and postpone the family inspection! "
Once he said that, the entire meeting room was silent for a short while, then it instantly exploded. "Old Elder, how can you disregard the family rules!?" "Yes, yes, you have set a precedent, what will happen in the future?" "Nothing can be accomplished without rules, this can't be done!" "Even if it can't be done, what can we do? Are we really going to watch Weiguo leave? "
"All of you, shut up!" Second Elder Hong Wei, who had been smiling all along, suddenly shouted. "This kind of matter, it's not your turn to talk about it! Listen to Brother Tu first! " He was usually amiable, but at this moment, his face was full of anger. Those who knew him knew that he didn't easily get angry, but when he did, it would definitely be a thunderous rage. Therefore, upon hearing him say that, everyone instantly shut up.
When the meeting room was completely silent, Hong Tu slowly said, "Weiguo, Dali's body has always been weak. Now, there are finally signs of improvement. This is a good thing. I won't make things difficult for him, so I won't send the inspection team out for now. However, I have a condition. "
"Okay, Father, what condition do you have?" Upon hearing that things had taken a turn for the better, Hong Weiguo's heart that almost jumped out of his throat was finally at ease. He hurriedly said, "If possible, I'm willing to earn his share as well!"
"Hehe, I'm not that unreasonable." Hong Tu coughed twice and slowly said, "I heard that during this period of time, that child has spent quite a lot of money and done a lot of things?"
"Yes." Hong Weiguo nodded. "It seems that because of this, his body has become slightly better."
"En, there's no need for inspection. In the past, because of his health, he didn't like to come into contact with business matters. I don't blame him." Hong Tu paused, then continued, "Therefore, I won't test his business talent. This time, I'll make an exception and change the inspection method for him."
"Change?" Hong Weiguo puzzledly asked, "What is that?"
"According to the original rules of our Hong Family, after the family's children celebrate their 18th birthday, they will receive a total of 10 million in assets as investment. Then, according to the investment, with a one-year period as the deadline, the total profit will be calculated, right? "
"En, yes." Hong Weiguo nodded.
"However, since this child has never come into contact with business before, we can't do it this way. Otherwise, it'll be unfair." Hong Tu said, "After all, he doesn't know how to do business, right?"
"That's right." Hong Weiguo continued to nod.
Hong Tu said, "Therefore, I thought of a new idea. I heard that recently, you've given him a total of less than 20 million in pocket money? He took this pocket money and made quite a lot of things, and even went to do some acting, right? "
Upon hearing Hong Tu's words, the surrounding young children were filled with envy and jealousy.
It was considered good enough for them to have an allowance of 100,000 or 80,000, but Hong Dali's allowance was calculated as 10 million, it was really incomparable.
"Yes." Hong Weiguo still nodded.
"Then, Dali's inspection method is to see if these things he made a profit or a loss until the family meeting." Hong Tu smiled and said, "Small things have their own benefits. At least, this child Dali doesn't gamble or touch drugs, and he seems to have taken in a few talents. Then, let's set 20 million as the limit. As long as he can earn back the money he made on the day of the family meeting, we'll consider it as a pass. How about that? During this period, the few of us old fellows definitely won't interfere and let him do as he pleases. Of course. "Hong Tu raised his gold-inlaid walking stick and pointed at Hong Weiguo." You're not allowed to interfere either. "
Upon hearing this condition, Hong Weiguo finally calmed down. "OK! I agree! I still believe in Dali's foresight! "
Hong Tu laughed heartily. "Alright, go ahead. Remember to wait until the family meeting on June 16th to bring Dali to see me."
"OK, Father, I understand." Hong Weiguo smiled at Hong Tu, then turned and strode away.
