"You … is it Duanmu Ci, who is ranked second on the Martial Saint Ranking? " Zhao Taixu stood to the side. After watching Xu Taiping and Duanmu Ci chat for a long time, he asked.

"It's me." Duanmu Ci nodded.

"I've heard a lot about you!" Zhao Taixu sighed.

"I've also long heard of your great name." Duanmu Ci said with a smile.

"Let's go in first! Find a place to sit, I've arranged some seats for the people from the Chinese martial arts association, when that time comes, you can just sit with them! " Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!"

After sending Duanmu Huanghun to the Central District, Zhao Taixu sighed and said, "Taiping, the people you're dating right now are truly out of my expectations."

"Of course, with their identities being there, the people they interact with will naturally be of high quality as well!" Xu Taiping said proudly.

"This Duanmu Ci is not someone that can be dated from the top of the world. His strength is very strong, the kind that is very powerful. However, he lives in seclusion in a small town and rarely appears in the martial arts world. It's rare for you to have friends with him." Zhao Taixu said.

"Not bad, he actually has some connections with the Zhao Family." Xu Taiping said.

"Oh? "What kind of relationship?" Zhao Taixu asked.

"I'll tell you later!" A guest is coming. " Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!"

First, there were at least ten people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association. After all, Xu Pingping was the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association, and everyone had to give him face, because in the large sects, other than Wu Dang and Emei, almost all the other sect heads of large sects had also come. In addition, many other members of the Chinese Martial Arts Association had also come, and the total number of spectators was close to one third.

After that, Chu Jingfeng, as well as Secretary Zhang from Kailiu Province, also came to the Zhao Family. In addition, some officials from the Ministry of Commerce also came to the Zhao Family, after all, Xu Taiping was one of the top ten economic figures of the year. In the future, the Taiya Group and the Ministry of Commerce would have quite a bit of cooperation.

Xu Taiping invited a total of 150 people. Not to mention these people, there were some people that Xu Taiping didn't invite, but people with status that came to the Zhao Family on their own accord, so Xu Taiping naturally welcomed them.

In Xu Taiping's opinion, only those who weren't confident in their own strength would want a security check. In the past, when the Zhao Family did security check, it seemed very impressive, but in reality, it would give people a feeling of superiority, which was not a good feeling for those who accepted the security test. After all, everyone had their own status, so this time, there was no security check, just someone checking their status at the door.

A portion of the security for the ceremony was provided by the Zhao Family guards and another portion by the Hua Nan Hu Battle Team. Logically speaking, they could not use the Hu Nan Hu Battle Team for this, but who told Xu Taiping to be the honorary captain? In addition, there were quite a few officials this time as well. It was reasonable that the Southern Tiger Division was responsible for security.

In the Central District, 9: 50 PM.

The entire Central District did not have many people. This Central District could hold up to a thousand people, and therefore, the Zhao Family had set up more than a thousand seats. But this time, only a hundred people came.

Many people from the Zhao Clan were watching this scene and felt aggrieved.

One year ago, it was also here that Old Master Zhao's birthday was celebrated. One year later, Xu Taiping had succeeded the head of the Zhao Family, and almost no one had been invited. The difference was huge.

This year was the most difficult year for the Zhao Family. Many people left the Zhao Family, and many friends of the Zhao Family no longer had anything to do with the Zhao Family.

In the capital, the Zhao Family was like a virus.

Of course, there were also those who liked the Zhao Family and were willing to surround them. These people were like vampires, sucking in the blood of the free and fallen descendants of the Zhao Family.

The morning sun was dazzling, but the hearts of all the Zhao Family members were ice-cold.

"Remember this scene well." "This is the most humiliating scene of our Zhao Family in the past hundred years. Our Family Head Succession Ceremony has sent out more than a thousand invitations, but only these one hundred people came, and these more than a hundred people were mostly invited by our Family Head himself. No family in this world can be forever strong, and when we fall into the valley, we must never give up on going up."

Many of the stewards didn't know Zhao Buqian, but they felt that his words struck a deep chord in their hearts.

Everyone was clenching their fists. Previously, they had some doubts regarding Xu Taiping's position as the next head of the family, but now, Zhao Biqian's words made them understand that only by following Xu Taiping's footsteps, would the Zhao Family be able to return to the peak.

Ten o'clock.

The inauguration began on time.

Zhao Taiheng, as the eldest brother of Xu Taiping's generation, presided over the ceremony.

The ceremony process was complicated, complicated, and needed to be carried out in each and every one of them. It was completely different from when Zhao Taiji had succeeded him.

The entire Central District to the Ancestral House was silent.

No matter if it was the people from the Zhao family or those who came to see the ceremony, they could feel the oppressive aura from the Zhao family.

The bell tolled five times. This meant that Xu Taiping was the fifth clan head of the Zhao Family to do so in the past hundred years.

Xu Taiping, who was wearing a Chinese tunic, kowtowed three times in front of the Zhao Family ancestors. Moreover, he wrote his name on the list of the Zhao Family Patriarchs.

While Xu Taiping was reading aloud the rules of the Zhao Family while holding the family tree and facing the ancestor of the Zhao Family on the wall, tears welled up in his eyes.

The Zhao Family had once been such a powerful family, but now, when he was at his lowest, it had finally welcomed a new ruler.

This ruler had once been expelled from the Zhao Family. No one could have imagined that he would be willing to return to the Zhao Family at his peak.

As long as he was a normal person, he would understand that this trip to the Zhao Family was a complete loss.

But Xu Taiping still came back.

No one could understand why Xu Taiping would want to come back, and Xu Taiping didn't give any explanation.

He had come back as a savior to the Zhao Family.

Could he save the Zhao Family that was like a storm?

Many people were still skeptical.

It had to be known, the powerful Zhao Family, under the encirclement and suppression of countless world-class elites, was unable to raise its head. Xu Taiping, as a newly promoted China's wealthiest man, could he really withstand that kind of pressure?

The succession ceremony ended under everyone's heavy and doubtful gaze.

Xu Taiping didn't say anything exciting. He calmly attended the inauguration ceremony and then announced the first order in his capacity as the head of the Zhao Family.

Zhao Taiji, the original head of the Zhao Family, had violated the rules of the Zhao Family. After today's ceremony, he would be handed over to the police for trial by law.

Many people were surprised by this order, because the Zhao Family had always insisted on keeping their shame a secret. The family scandal was handled by the family, and this time, when the former Patriarch was handed over to the police, it had never happened.

After Xu Taiping gave the order, Zhao Taiji was immediately sent out of the house. At the same time, the Beijing police, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, also received Zhao Taiji from the family.

In order to ensure the smooth passage of the escorts, the Beijing police had mobilized hundreds of police forces. At the same time, martial law had been imposed on the roads throughout the entire process of the escorts' transportation.

In the end, Zhao Taiji was successfully escorted to the Beijing police station. What awaited him would surely be severe punishment by law.

After Zhao Taiji was taken away, Xu Taiping gave the second order. He removed Zhao Yinglong's identity as Chief Steward and handed him over to the Zhao Family's Internal Affairs to be investigated. At the same time, Xu Taiping appointed a new Chief Steward.

After leaving the Zhao Family for a few decades, Zhao Buqian returned back to the Zhao Family. Furthermore, he became the head steward of the Zhao Family as soon as he returned. He must have returned as a king.

After the second order, Xu Taiping announced the third order, which was to restore Zhao Xianglu's status as a member of the Zhao Family, and also to restore Zhao Xianglu's position as the steward. As for people like Zhao Liwei, Xu Taiping handed them to Zhao Buqian, and people at Zhao Liwei's level didn't need Xu Taiping to give him special orders.

After three orders, the celebration lunch officially began.

Because there were too few people, there were only about twenty tables or so. A dozen or so tables belonged to the guests and a few tables belonged to the Zhao Family.

For the first time, Xu Taiping sat at the head of the main table, accepting the respect of the Zhao Family.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon by the end of the luncheon.

After Xu Taiping had sent off all the guests, he closed the door and, as the head of the Zhao Family, announced the convening of the first meeting of the Zhao Family.

The meeting lasted from two in the afternoon until late at night.

Many of the Zhao Family members were actually very nervous at the beginning of the meeting, because in recent days, many of them had actually done things that violated family rules.

However, Xu Taiping did not punish anyone during the meeting. The first thing he said was that he would not pursue anyone's mistake for a period of time. However, he demanded that from today onwards, everyone must strictly abide by the family rules.

Such a declaration put a lot of people at ease at the beginning of the meeting, and they even approved of Xu Taiping's rule.

Xu Taiping had bribed a lot of the Zhao Family members with just one sentence. For Xu Taiping, this kind of action was too easy to understand.

Xu Taiping finally became the new head of the Zhao Family. This was something that had been planned for a long time ago. Xu Taiping returned to the Zhao Family as a savior, and in the future, what he would face would be even more challenges. As for what the future of the Zhao Family will be like, please look forward to it.)
