Chapter 132

His middle-aged name is Xiao Hongyuan, and his English name is Arthur Xiao. He is one of the top leaders of Hongmen. He is mainly responsible for some of the Hongmen gates in the eastern states of the United States, including Canada. His comprehensive strength ranks fourth among the top leaders of Hongmen, and he is also a strong competitor for the next leader.

Luke went to the center of the study and bowed slightly,

"uncle."

Xiao Hongyuan glanced at his son who was following him and said casually,

"sit down!"

Luke moved a chair and sat down opposite him, while Denny stood aside.

Xiao Hongyuan took a cigarette, pointed to the painting on the wall and said, "Luke, do you think Hongmen looks like this ship that will be swallowed by the waves?"

Luke shook his head, "Hongmen is not a wooden mast ship, but a super warship. It will not be swallowed by the waves, but will be abandoned by the times."

"How can we not be abandoned by the times?"

Luke said with a smile, "it's something you and the old man should consider. I'm too young to be qualified."

Xiao Hongyuan took a cigarette, "but the old man asked you to be the captain!"

Plain words, without any emotional fluctuations, but Luke and Denny can feel the anger hidden in the words.

Regardless of strength or popularity, Xiao Hongyuan is a strong competitor for the next leader, but the old man gives the candidate's position to his grandson. According to the Hongmen election rules, once Luke becomes a candidate, Xiao Hongyuan of the same family is not allowed to run for the election.

Xiao Hongyuan is only 47 years old. He is in the prime of his life. How can he retire to the second tier and help his nephew.

This is a knot that cannot be solved.

After a long silence, Luke said,

"what you should know is that it's the old man's idea, not mine. I'm not interested in candidates, let alone fighting for them."

"Not fighting is the biggest fight!"

Xiao Hongyuan looks at Luke steadily. He used to be proud of having such an excellent nephew, and even treated him as his own son. Now he has to treat him as an opponent,

"if you don't fight, your people will force you to fight, and force you to get a high position. Which is not the case, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe, Li Erlang's Xuanwumen mutiny, and Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty."

"It's not a matter of contention. You don't have a choice."

Luke was silent and didn't explain. Denny was in a hurry. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. On one hand, he was Dad, on the other hand, he was boss. He was in a dilemma.

As time goes by, the atmosphere becomes more and more dignified.

"It seems that my uncle will not believe what I say. In this case, my nephew will say something disrespectful." Luke raised his head, slightly raised his head, with a leisurely momentum,

"if I want to fight, you can't add up!"

As the voice fell, the air became extremely quiet, as if to condense.

Denny's heart went up to his throat. The boss was crazy. He was completely crazy.

Xiao Hongyuan didn't expect that his always good-natured nephew would say such words. After a while, he woke up and took a deep breath. He didn't know what to think of, and his face showed a few wisps of sarcasm,

"that's right. My son is on your side, and how can we compete with you?" "The old man often praises you in front of me, saying that you are smart, filial and knowledgeable, and that you are the future pillar of the Xiao family. If you become the head of the family, the family will surely rise to a new level. My uncle also admits that you have this ability, but in my heart..."

Thumping his chest, "it's just uncomfortable."

Denny stepped forward, "Dad..."

"Shut up, you're not here to talk."

Xiao Hongyuan is furious and stares at his son. Lu Kewei sighs,

"cousin, go out first."

Denny looked at daddy, then at the boss, pursed his lips and turned away.

When you get out of the study, you see mother Chu Xuan and sister Julian, who are eavesdropping at the opposite door,

"Why are you here?"

"Dead child, keep your voice down!"

Chu Xuan pulls his son to his side and says nervously, "how about not fighting?"

"I don't know where I am. How can I fight?"

"What's impossible? Your father has no idea of turning. Little Luke is also the one who won't suffer. When they are together, it's tiger versus lion. It's strange if they don't fight?"

"And you..."

Chu Xuan pinches her son and says angrily, "why don't you stay in there and run out?"

"It was Luke who asked me to come out," he said

"If he asks you to come out, you'll come out. You're a blind child. Hurry in. In case of a fight, you can still fight."

Julian said speechless, "Mom, don't make trouble. Luke and dad obviously have something to talk about."

"What can they talk about?"

As soon as he finished, Chu Xuan was silent, sighed and said helplessly,"Is it worth fighting for a candidate?"

The conversation in the study went on for a long time, from noon to afternoon, and then to nightfall.

The three are worried outside for fear of conflict inside. Chu Xuan can't help it,

"no, I want to go in and have a look."

As soon as the door opened, Luke came out with a smile on his face,

"aunt, I'm not going to have dinner here. I'm going to have dinner with a group of friends."

Chu Xuan glanced at the study and said anxiously, "have you agreed?"

"Well! I've made it clear that there is something wrong with the whole family. "

"That's good, that's good."

Chu Xuan clapped her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief. When the matter was settled, she was in a better mood.

"where are you going to have dinner in the evening? I can warn you, don't go to those unclean places. Look at the people you've done before. None of them are serious. Your grandfather is right. He should arrange marriage for you and accept your love. "

Marriage?

Julian was stunned. "What marriage? Luke, you're getting married. I don't know

"It was arranged by my grandfather," he said

"True or false?"

Julian still didn't believe it, even a little surprised. "Are you sure you want to get married? Those little swings If madwomen know you're married, they'll tear your fiancee apart. "

Luke said in silence,

"don't talk about things that have no shadow."

"You can't get away with your grandfather's mouth." Julian laughed straight, a bit of schadenfreude flavor, "by the way, who is the fiancee, how she looks, have I beautiful."

Chu Xuan nodded on her daughter's forehead, "much more beautiful than you."

"Have you seen it?"

"I've seen the pictures!"

"Where are the pictures? Let me see. "

"In your grandfather's study, you can see for yourself."

When Julie settled down, everyone in the Xiao family, except Luke, was afraid of the old man. It was a mountain.

After half an hour of talking and laughing, Luke got up and left, and Denny followed.

In the BMW, Denny can't help asking,

"how was your conversation with my dad?"
