After fierce discussion, everyone proposed a "Pelican Plan", which is a project to select potential successors. Only the top three who stand out in this project are qualified to beco potential successors.
So, what is the "Pelican Plan"? Simply put, it’s a plan to elevate oneself by stepping over others. Isn’t it about looking at ability, ans, and skills?
Gu Shaocheng finally voiced his opinion, holding a cup of tea in one hand and the lid in the other, his voice steady and calm: "Alright, the Pelican Plan, is it? I support it. I probably won’t have the energy to manage this, so I’ll leave it to you to choose. I also think it’s ti to give the younger generation a chance to hone their skills. Let’s set a limit of one year. I reckon I can hang on for at least a year or so. By then, once we’ve chosen a potential successor, we can assess their capabilities. If one day I truly can’t manage the Gu Family, we’ll be prepared, which is great."
Soone chid in: "Hehe, actually it’s just about giving the younger people so opportunities. But the priority should be to properly treat your illness. The Gu Family really can’t find another Sect Leader like you, Shaocheng."
Another added: "Yes, yes, it’s just an opportunity for the young to get so experience. Didn’t they say there’s a fifty percent chance of a cure? It’s just about selecting a few people to lend you a hand."
Yet another agreed: "But, Shaocheng, are you planning a press conference? What are you going to say at the press conference? Matters like this can’t be truthfully disclosed to the public, or else the Gu Family’s stock market is sure to fluctuate. Why consider holding a press conference?"
"Right, matters like this should be discussed within our Gu Family, not announced to the public!"
"How about just saying that your legs were injured and you are currently undergoing rehabilitation, hence the wheelchair. It’s only temporary and nothing serious."
The Pelican Plan was already being discussed, and everyone imdiately ca together like a family to offer advice. If there’s a change in leadership, it will certainly lead to personnel movents, and both the business and political circles will openly and secretly hold a wait-and-see attitude towards the Gu Family’s future, which is definitely disadvantageous for the Gu Family. A stable environnt is needed to ensure interests are not hard.
"Yes, just say it’s only a temporary leg injury. It’s a good idea."
"I agree completely; there’s actually no need for a press conference. Haven’t we always been very low-key?"
Gu Shaocheng watched with interest as the family gave him advice. For a mont, he felt truly "beloved" and couldn’t help but nod. Soone even suggested researching how to write his speech.
In the evening, when Nan Baihao and Bai Wuqing ca to see him, Nan Baihao kicked the door open, holding the speech researched by the "family" in one hand and snacking with interest. As soon as Nan Baihao entered the study, he slapped a heavy hand on the table, pulled up a chair, sat down, and shouted: "Butler, brew a cup of black tea, I need to calm down!!!"
"Who got you so worked up?" Gu Shaocheng glanced up slightly: "You’re quite fired up."
Nan Baihao spoke without any restraint, cursing: "So snake spirit lunatic! I’m so angry my lungs are about to explode! Second Brother, do you think so snake spirit lunatic has their brains fried from being sick too long! I could cut their brain open to see if weeds are growing inside now!"
