Chapter 380

Peiping, Li's courtyard.

"Big brother." Li Kaihe knelt down on the cloth mat, and Li Xinyuan knelt down beside him, closed his eyes and said nothing. In front of them are several bright candlelight, as well as the spirit cards of Li's ancestors.

"Big brother." Li Kaihe whispered again.

Li Xinyuan opened his eyes slowly.

"Pay attention to your health, big brother," Li Kaihe whispered, "you've been kneeling here all day since you came back from the audition."

Li Xinyuan nodded, but still did not speak.

At this time, a servant of the Li family came out of the Lingtang. When he reached the threshold of the Lingtang, he stopped. The servant of the Li family said, "master, second master, the elders have been waiting in the meeting hall for a long time."

"Then let them wait a little longer!" Li Kaihe called impatiently, and then he muttered, "these old people, when they worked for the family, they didn't see them. Now when something goes wrong, they immediately come forward."

"Just, just." Li Xinyuan suddenly stood up. He gazed at the ancestral Spirit card in front of him. After a few seconds, he turned around and said, "second brother, follow me to see them."

"Yes, big brother." Li Kaihe nodded respectfully behind Li Xinyuan.

In the assembly hall, more than ten elders have been crowded in. They are arguing fiercely, not for the loss of the Li family to the Tong family, but for some trivial matters in their respective territory. The Li family and the Tong family have different systems. The elders of the Tong family are more like "guardians" with high prestige. Their essence is to be the leader of the family. But the Li family is different. The elders of the Li family are more like the board of directors of a large company. They have their own businesses and businesses. At the same time, they will spend a lot of money for the Li family every year according to the family tradition. From the past to the present, the elders of the Li family all have the blood of the Li family, just like different branches from the same tree. The elders and the family in charge use the same surname, but they also have a relatively independent system.

In this context, the elders in charge of their own affairs are like vassals. They will pay tribute to the Li family every year. Even if they are in charge of the Li family, it is difficult to gather these people from all over the world. But once they get together, it proves that something big is going to happen.

"If you want to buy my industry in Macao and Hong Kong, you can't afford to buy less than $300 million, otherwise you can't talk about it." They were here to discuss business before they came in charge.

"Don't think I don't know. It's going to start with you who run casinos. If you refuse to transfer the land to me now, you'll have to pay for it sooner or later." An old man with white hair tricked another elder of his age.

"Gambling is a part rooted in human nature that cannot be removed. As long as there are still living people in the world, my casino can go on. But it's you. Your pimp business is getting worse and worse?" The elder glanced back with color.

It's hard to imagine that most of these white haired old people are not running any serious business. They are not so much the elites of the business community as the aging black boss. In an era when the law is not yet perfect, those who know geomantic omen rely on their own skills to extract huge profits from the society. However, with the development of the legal system step by step, the businesses of these people are also being compressed.

But even in their twilight years, they would not give up. They are still eager for a competent leader to lead them back to the most glorious era of the Li family. Obviously, that person will not be Li Xinyuan.

EE - the wooden door of the conference hall was pushed open, and the original noisy conference hall was immediately quiet, and all the people cast their eyes in the same direction.

Li Xinyuan leads Li Kaihe in.

No one took the initiative to say hello to Li Xinyuan, not even a person who called "in charge". These old people all looked at Li Xinyuan's face with unfriendly eyes.

"It's hard for you to come all the way." But Li Xinyuan, as the leader of the family, actually took the lead in saying hello.

"At home, we shouldn't have bothered at this time." A white haired old man with several scars on his face stood up and responded to Li Xinyuan, "as the head of the family has just finished the competition, he should be cultivated for a few days, but the current situation can't tolerate us to delay any longer!"

Li Xinyuan looked at the old man with scarred face and asked, "I don't know what the situation is. You are so nervous. Please give me some advice."

"Li Xinyuan, do you really don't know, or do you fake it?" The old man with scar face even called the name of the leader directly, and Li Xinyuan's face suddenly changed.

"Under the witness of many aristocratic families, you personally ended up and lost to a descendant of the Tong family. Now the reputation of the Li family has fallen to an unprecedented bottom!" The old man with scar face had a loud voice, as if he were still a young man. "Is this situation urgent or not?"

"Hum." Li Xinyuan gave a cold smile. His eyes swept over the crowd and said, "are you all ordinary people?"

Other elders also nodded at this time. These people were still quarreling with each other just now because of their business. Now they suddenly stand on the same front. Li Xinyuan doesn't believe that these old people who don't get up early for nothing are really gathered for the sake of family reputation. Obviously, there is another pusher behind the elders.Who would that be? Li Xinyuan doesn't know at this time, but he believes that this person will show his feet soon.

In front of the elders, Li Xinyuan went to the center of the assembly hall. Then he sat down in the most central and highest seat in the hall. If other people want to see him, they have to look up to him. The height difference will affect the atmosphere of both sides and have an invisible impact on the outcome of the negotiation. Similarly, Li Xinyuan's action also has a symbolic meaning, that is, he is the leader of the Li family, and only he can sit in the highest position.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Li Xinyuan looked at all the people in the hall after finishing his position. "You are all the great heroes of the Li family. Without any of you here, the Li family will not be what it is today. You have also experienced the most glorious era of the Li family. I admit that the Li family is now in a low ebb."

At this point, Li Xinyuan had a meal.

"But it's no use recalling the past or indulging in the present failure. I hope you can focus on the future. With your help, the future Li family will be able to walk out of the trough and create a more brilliant era!"

After an impassioned speech, no one answered him.

There was silence in the hall.

"The future?" The scar face elder suddenly sneered twice, "what future can the Li family under your leadership have?"
