Ten Rolls Royce Phantoms drove away from the airport in a line, heading towards Jincheng Central, where the Jiang Family was located to the southeast of the Central Region.
Seated in the car, Jiang Chen listened as Butler Lu introduced the situation of the Jiang Family.
"...These are basically the current circumstances of the Jiang Family. Your second and fourth uncles are both on your eldest uncle Jiang Minghui’s side; they are full siblings.
Your third and fifth uncles are on Elder Master Jiang’s side; they are the sons of Elder Master Jiang’s younger brother.
However, your third uncle holds a governnt position, and your fifth uncle is in the law enforcent sector. They won’t be able to help you much with the Jiang Family’s business. If you want to take control of the Jiang Family’s assets from Jiang Minghui, you will have to work hard yourself."
After finishing the introduction of the Jiang Family’s affairs, Butler Lu, with a solemn expression, continued, "Although Elder Master Jiang will help you, Jiang Minghui has recently increased his control over the Longteng Group. He has managed to replace many key positions with his own people. Even though you have 30% of the shares transferred to you by Elder Master Jiang, there might not be many in the company who recognize your authority!"
"It’s okay, I never expected to gain any power right away. I’m not concerned about these things. As long as that Jiang Minghui doesn’t provoke , I’m perfectly content to let bygones be bygones!" Jiang Chen said lightly shaking his head.
After reaching the level of Innate Grandmaster, he had beco much more indifferent to so worldly matters. Although the Jiang Family’s Longteng Group was substantial, he had little interest in it.
"Young Master, you shouldn’t think like that."
Butler Lu’s expression changed as he spoke earnestly, "The Longteng Group is the fruit of several generations of the Jiang Family’s hard work. How can we let it fall into the hands of a collateral?" Moreover, Elder Master Jiang’s wish is to see you beco the next Family Head of the Jiang Family. How can you beco the Family Head if you don’t take control of Longteng?"
Jiang Chen gave Butler Lu a helpless look and said with a wry smile, "I really have no..."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Seeing the look in Butler Lu’s eyes, Jiang Chen quickly changed his tune, because if he continued, Butler Lu’s gaze would beco one that looked upon a prodigal son!
"Alright then, I’ll give it a fight," Jiang Chen shrugged. The maturity of his mindset made him quite indifferent to so worldly matters.
"Jiang Chen, don’t take this lightly. Though your current strength has reached a significant level, after all, this is Elder Master Jiang’s longstanding wish, and it is also what you deserve," Ye Jingyi said, trying to reassure him.
Jiang Chen was slightly startled and nodded gently, "You’re right, it is what I deserve, so it should be returned to !"
Seeing Jiang Chen no longer dismiss Longteng Group so easily, Butler Lu sighed in relief. He knew Jiang Chen had been developing Yi Chen, and he was aware of Jiang Chen’s arrangent for Xuan Long and others to train abroad and expand his power. This pleased him.
But he was also worried that Jiang Chen, engrossed in building his own power, would not consider the Jiang Family as his ho and its influence as his own.
If that were the case, Elder Master Jiang’s purpose in bringing Jiang Chen back ho would not be achieved!
At this ti, the Jiang Family Courtyard was in the midst of a discussion about Jiang Chen.
The Jiang Family Courtyard was a renovation of the old mansion, retaining its historic appearance.
The Courtyard was divided into the Inner Court and the Outer Court, as well as a front three-entry and a rear three-entry.
The front three-entry was the Outer Court, where the Jiang Family conducted business and welcod guests. The rear three-entry was where the Jiang Family lived and held internal family etings. The courtyard of Elder Master Jiang was located in the very last one.
At this mont, within the second courtyard of the rear three courtyards, Jiang Minghui and two middle-aged n were discussing fervently.
"Butler Lu has sent back a ssage; Jiang Chen will arrive soon. Ming Kun, Ming Qian, we must give him a lesson and let him know that even though he has returned, he definitely can’t call the shots in the Jiang Family!" Jiang Minghui spoke with a grim expression.
"Big brother, there’s no rush in this matter. Let’s have Yujie and the others test out Jiang Chen first. If Jiang Chen knows his place, our Jiang Family won’t be short of his two cents. But if he doesn’t, if he wants to snatch the position of Family Head, it’s not too late for us to act then," Jiang Mingqian said with a wave of his hand, speaking softly.
Jiang Mingkun nodded, "Big brother, indeed, we can’t be too hasty with this matter. That bastard has just co back, and the Elder Master will definitely be watching us closely; we can’t give the old man any leverage.
Ever since the news of that bastard’s return was known, the Elder Master has been itching to get rid of our people. Although we have moved a good number of the old man’s people from important positions in the company, he has also transferred so of ours out.
The people in important positions in the company are now, due to the tug of war between the two sides, mostly from the neutral faction. What we need to focus on now is to win over those people. As for that bastard, given that he has just returned, he wouldn’t dare do much!"
"Right, the forth brother makes sense; I was a bit too impatient. Let’s let that bastard jump around for a few more days, once the company’s affairs are stabilized, then we can properly deal with him!" Jiang Minghui nodded slowly.
Inside the second courtyard of the front three courtyards, a group of younger mbers of the Jiang Family was also discussing Jiang Chen.
"Yujie bro, you’ve been to Dingjing, have you t Jiang Chen?" a youth asked Jiang Yujie who was beside him.
A cold gleam flashed in Jiang Yujie’s eyes. His last visit to Dingjing had resulted in Jiang Chen giving him a good slap in the face, but such a humiliating experience he would never admit.
Hearing the youth’s inquiry, Jiang Yujie’s eyes shifted and he spoke softly, "I’ve t him once, but didn’t interact much. However, this Jiang Chen is quite the prodigal. As I know, he relies on being a live-in son-in-law, pleasing three girls, and now those three girls all follow him. There’s even a pair of cousins among them."
"What? Cousins?!"
A gleam flashed in the eyes of the youth nearby, who suddenly realized the others were looking at him with strange expressions. He hurriedly straightened his face and said righteously, "This Jiang Chen is truly a disgrace to our Jiang Family, actually becoming a live-in son-in-law for others, and furthermore, pleasing three girls at the sa ti, including a pair of cousins. What a beast!"
"Jiang Yuque, I agree that Jiang Chen, our cousin, becoming a live-in son-in-law is a disgrace to our Jiang Family, but... speaking of beasts, aren’t all you guys, apart from third uncle’s son Yu Qing and my brother Yu Feng, the sa? Aren’t you short of won? Compared to you guys, our cousin Jiang Chen’s three won are the least in number, right?" sneered a stunning girl about eighteen or nineteen years old, giving the youth a disdainful look.
Jiang Yuque’s face changed, and he closed his mouth sullenly. The young n present all wore strained expressions and cast a resentful glance at Jiang Yujie, who had started the conversation.
"Yuling, there were understandable reasons for Jiang Chen to beco a live-in son-in-law. He lived in poverty since he was young, and later he was taken in by a family after saving soone’s life. Then Aunt Shen fell ill, and a series of things got mixed together; he was really left with no choice," a beautiful young woman said, stroking the young girl’s hair, speaking up for Jiang Chen.
"Right, now that cousin Jiang Chen has returned, has anyone inford Aunt Shen?" suddenly recalling sothing, Jiang Yuling looked around and spoke softly.
Everyone looked at each other, shaking their heads.
"They’re back, the motorcade is back!" a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tiger-like vigor, ran in from the first courtyard, excitedly exclaiming.
Hearing this, everyone turned to look towards the entrance of the second courtyard.
