NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9
The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque.
The Tang Family Villa is located on the shore of East Lake in Hangzhou. It has a beautiful environment and picturesque landscapes. It is a famous villa area in Hangzhou.
The Tang family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down for a hundred years.
Mr. Tang's father is a famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
When it came to Mr. Tang, he carried it forward and founded Yulintang.
Now Yulintang has not only become the first traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Hangzhou.
It has assets of over 10 billion yuan and has gained both fame and fortune.
Now Mr. Tang is old and no longer shows up.
The specific matters of Yulintang are all handed over to his three sons.
According to the agreement of the year.
Yulintang has a total of three branches in Hangzhou.
Each son is responsible for one for a period of ten years, and the next head of the family will be decided based on the operating results.
Unfortunately, the youngest son died young.
The responsibility of the third branch fell on his daughter Tang Wanru.
However, although Tang Wanru is young, she is quite talented.
After her father's death, she not only managed the third branch in an orderly manner.
Even in various data, it surpassed the previous two branches.
And Mr. Tang also likes this granddaughter very much.
Therefore, there are many rumors that the position of the head of the Tang family is likely to fall on her.
This year's annual meeting is the tenth anniversary.
So today is particularly lively.
Of course, there are also undercurrents.
"Big brother, do you think the old man will pass on the position of the head of the family to you?"
A greasy man with a big belly chuckled and asked the middle-aged man next to him.
This is Tang Wanru's second uncle: Tang Mingli!
The three sons of Mr. Tang.
The eldest son, Tang Mingren, has superb medical skills, but he is too rigid in dealing with people.
The second son, Tang Mingli, is a smart person. He is proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking, but he has not learned much about medicine.
The third son, Tang Mingxin, is well-behaved and died young.
But his daughter, Tang Wanru, is beautiful and intelligent.
But her personality is cold and people dare not approach her easily.
"The position of the head of the family will be decided by my father."
Tang Mingren's face was solemn and his voice was low.
""Brother, the old man has always favored Tang Wanru. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this. Today's annual meeting is the ten-year period. If the old man passes the position of the head of the family to Tang Wanru, you and I brothers will have to act according to my niece's mood in the future."
Tang Mingli said with a smile.
He knew very well that although his elder brother had a conservative personality and always obeyed the old man's orders.
But when it comes to the position of the head of the family, he will probably not give in easily.
What's more, the opponent is their junior.
"Now that things have come to this, can you still change the old man's mind?"
After many years of brotherhood, Tang Mingren also knows the character of his second brother.
He wants to hear his opinion.
"Brother, you are the eldest son, and you have inherited the old man's superb medical skills. You can be said to be the only candidate for the position of the head of the family."
"Although Tang Wanru's surname is Tang, she is a woman after all. In ancient times, women without talent are considered virtuous, and the family lineage is passed down to sons but not daughters. After all, our Tang family is a century-old family. How can we let a woman be the head of the family?"
Tang Mingren has a conservative personality and pedantic thinking.
Therefore, Tang Mingli started from this aspect.
Sure enough, Tang Mingren's eyes moved slightly, and at the same time, he signaled his second brother to continue to explain.
"Brother, you know that I am just an ordinary person. I am good at eating, drinking and having fun, but I am not good at curing diseases and saving lives. Therefore, I think you are the most suitable person to be the head of this family."
"But the old man is likely to pass it on to Tang Wanru today, so before the old man speaks, we must do something."
"As long as Tang Wanru loses face in front of everyone, then the old man will not force her to pass the throne. In this way, even if the old man cannot pass the position of the head of the family to you, at least he can delay it for a while."
"If we do nothing, it would be tantamount to waiting for death. What do you think, brother?"
Tang Mingli spoke eloquently, and every word hit the heart.
This made Tang Mingren somewhat moved.
It would be a lie to say that he had no idea about the position of the head of the family.
However, although he was old-fashioned and pedantic, he did not intend to act secretly.
But just losing some face would be feasible.
"What can you do?"
As soon as Tang Mingren opened his mouth, Tang Mingli was delighted.
The fish has taken the bait!
"As uncles, we naturally cannot say anything to our niece, so our target can be her husband who is in name only."
Tang Mingli had already made up his mind, and at this time he spoke in a low voice.
"Su Yun?"
Of course, they also knew that Su Yun and Tang Wanru had obtained their marriage certificate.
This was facilitated by the old man.
However, this marriage was in name only.
Moreover, Su Yun had never participated in the internal struggles of the Tang family.
Therefore, they had never taken Su Yun seriously.
"Su Yun may seem insignificant, but he is the best chess piece against Tang Wanru."
"Tang Wanru will definitely bring him along to today's annual meeting. If we make things a little difficult for him, he will definitely lose control with his youthful and hot-tempered mentality. Then everyone will blame it all on Tang Wanru."
"Tang Wanru's reputation was damaged. Given the old man's character, he would not announce the position of the head of the family today."
Tang Mingli's eyes were sharp.
He spotted Su Yun, the key chess piece, at a glance.
Moreover, this move was a soft knife. Even if it was discovered, no one would say anything.
As long as the old man did not announce it in public, then the position of the head of the family would still have room for maneuver.
"My father likes Su Yun very much, and he is a close friend of Grandpa Su."
Tang Mingren pondered for a moment and spoke in a deep voice.
He was worried.
If this move goes wrong, it can't be reversed.
"The old man likes Su Yun, but it may not be the case for others. Moreover, no matter how bad the result is, can it be worse than it is now?"
Tang Mingli smiled.
And these words successfully persuaded Tang Mingren.
"In that case, I'll do as you say."
Tang Mingren stood up and left.
As the eldest son, he would be quite busy at this year's annual meeting.
Looking at his elder brother's departing back, a subtle cunning flashed in Tang Mingli's eyes.
Cranes and clams fight, I am the fisherman!
Who doesn't want the position of the head of the family!
Today, the Tang family villa is bustling with people and bustling.
Led by Mr. Tang, the branched out and formed a large Tang family in Hangzhou.
Moreover, in addition to the Tang family's own people, there are also some elders of Yulin Hall at this annual meeting.
There are two or three hundred people in total.
Mr. Tang, dressed in a crimson Tang suit and leaning on a cane, sat at the head of the hall and accepted the greetings of everyone.
Whether it is the old-fashioned and pedantic Tang Mingren or the treacherous and cunning Tang Mingli.
As long as Mr. Tang is alive, they can't jump up.
"Wanru and Su Yun should be here soon!"
Grandpa Tang looked out through the gate. He was looking forward to it.
He really liked his granddaughter and his old friend's grandson.
Otherwise, he would not have done his best to promote their relationship.
At this annual meeting, he not only planned to announce the position of the head of the family, but also wanted to announce their marriage in public.
At the same time,
Su Yun rode a small electric donkey and came to the gate of the community.
"Stop, this is a high-end villa area, you can't just enter casually!"
