C137 The Zhao Family Competition



C137 The Zhao Family Competition

Zhao Huan walked towards Zhao Shengtian and solemnly said:    

    

"Father, I have something to say to you."    

    

"In the past year, the core business of Zhao Family has doubled in profits, and there are even a few other subsidiary industries that have established their positions in Xihu Province. Among them, the chemical industry, iron and steel, new energy sources, food and other items under Zhao Family Industry Group, have achieved a super performance of three times their profits within two years of Zhao Family being involved."    

    

Zhao Huan's action was obviously asking for credit from Zhao Shengtian.    

    

Zhao Shengtian said, "Good performance."    

    

If someone else heard Zhao Shengtian's praise, they would definitely be extremely happy. However, Zhao Huan was stunned for a few seconds. Was that all his father had said?    

    

"Father, are you not feeling well?" Zhao Huan asked cautiously.    

    

"My health isn't too bad." Zhao Shengtian's tone was calm.    

    

Zhao Huan didn't understand, he clearly felt that Zhao Shengtian's attitude towards him was different from before.    

    

Zhao Huan continued:    

    

"Father, I remember that you mentioned to us before that after this year's family banquet, you would retire. At that time, I didn't believe you and said that you were definitely joking with everyone."    

    

Zhao Huan's words were very relaxed, but it caused the atmosphere of the family dinner to change drastically.    

    

The people from the Zhao Family were all quiet. They secretly thought that Zhao Huan had taken a dangerous move and changed his appearance to force the palace over when Zhao Shengtian didn't express his stance clearly.    

    

The eyes of the rich people, represented by Wei Shengloong, lit up. As long as Zhao Shengtian announced that he was going to go behind the scenes today, then in the future, the Zhao Family would be completely under the leadership of Zhao Huan.    

    

Zhao Shengtian was silent. He was thinking.    

    

Zhao Huan felt that his father was not in the same mood as before. Although Zhao Shengtian had yet to answer, but he was very confident. Who could be the next Patriarch?    

    

If it was Zhao Xiang, then his Zhao Family would probably become a joke. If Zhao Xiang didn't have a son, then the heavy responsibility of placing his Zhao Family would not fall on Zhao Zitong.    

    

Wu Tie said, "Zhao Huan, it's clear that father is unwilling to talk too much about this. The atmosphere of a good family banquet has been ruined by you."    

    

"Destroy?"    

    

Zhao Huan raised his eyebrows: "Why are your words so harsh?"    

    

Zhao Xiang was about to counterattack when Zhao Shengtian shook his head and said, "Everyone, don't say anymore."    

    

Zhao Huan and Zhao Xiang went silent.    

    

"That's right, I have said it before. This time, I will go behind the scenes with Zhao Family Feast and announce the next candidate to be the Patriarch." Zhao Shengtian's words entered everyone's ears.    

    

"Today is the fourth of the sixth month's Zhao Family Feast. I will make use of this opportunity to formally announce that from today onwards, I will officially relinquish the position of Patriarch."    

    

Zhao Shengtian's words did not go against the expectations of the Zhao Family people.    

    

Everyone nodded their heads, expressing their support for Zhao Shengtian's happy retirement.    

    

Zhao Huan's heart leaped to his throat, his arms could not help but tremble. The long awaited moment had finally arrived!    

    

Just when everyone thought that Zhao Huan becoming the next family head was certain, they saw Zhao Shengtian raise his hand and point in a direction that no one expected.    

    

"Rong Sheng, come here." Zhao Shengtian's face was filled with warmth.    

    

Everyone raised their eyebrows. Zhao Shengtian was only like this for his relatives.    

    

Zhao Huan was stunned. What does father mean by this?    

    

"Yes." Xu Rongsheng was neither humble nor arrogant. Under everyone's gaze, he walked in front of Zhao Shengtian.    

    

"Rong Sheng, do you remember a few years ago, I told you about the future of Zhao Family?" Zhao Shengtian said kindly.    

    

"I remember." Xu Rongsheng nodded as his heart skipped a beat. A bold thought appeared in his mind, 'Old Master couldn't be giving up the seat to me, right?'    

    

Zhao Shengtian nodded.    

    

"As long as you remember."    

    

"A few years ago, I told you that no matter what happens in the future, from now on, half of this Zhao Family is yours.    

    

The atmosphere of the Zhao Family Feast, instantly froze.    

    

The people from Zhao Family were in an uproar.    

    

Even if you don't want it, you still have to take it!    

    

This was something that the Old Master of the Zhao Family had entrusted him with. The target was not Zhao Huan nor Zhao Xiang, but an outsider, Xu Rongsheng!    

    

Zhao Huan was like ice water being poured over him, his entire body was ice-cold. The rumors were true, Xu Rongsheng would really obtain the average property of Zhao Family.    

    

Zhao Shengtian continued to "provoke" everyone.    

    

"Rong Sheng, you have two options. The first is that once you enter the main Zhao Family, become the Patriarch of the Zhao Family, then every fifty percent of the profits from every year will belong to you. Secondly, after today, half of my Zhao Family will be given to you. "    

    

Zhao Shengtian's gaze was kind, he didn't look like he was joking at all.    

    

Father, oh, father, how can you be like this?    

    

On the other hand, Zhao Xiang was relieved, "Brother Xu, you finally got what you deserved."    

    

At this time, Xu Rongsheng shook his head and said, "Old Master, can I refuse?"    

    

Zhao Shengtian said angrily, "We can't refuse! I treat you like my own son, or else do you think I would agree to postpone the family banquet until this day? "    

    

No one moved. Everyone reacted differently. Zhao Shengtian finally admitted it.    

    

Wei Shengloong's face was full of anger. How could Xu Rongsheng's luck be so good? What ability did he have to be worthy of the Old Master's trust?    

    

"If Xu Rongsheng really agrees, then wouldn't Zhao Huan have no chance at all?"    

    

As for Zhao Huan, he felt as if he had been slapped a few times. He painstakingly tried to get the Patriarch position of Zhao Family, but not only did Zhao Shengtian not give it to him, nor did he give it to Zhao Xiang, he gave it to an outsider, Xu Rongsheng!    

    

What made Zhao Huan even more embarrassed was that Xu Rongsheng did not take the position of Zhao Family Patriarch seriously at all. Furthermore, he publicly rejected Zhao Shengtian's request.    

    

"Old man, I'm really not interested in the properties of Zhao Family." Xu Rongsheng shook his head. If it was before, he would definitely accept Zhao Shengtian's gift. With half of Zhao Family, it would only take a night for him to become the number one businessman in Xihu Province.    

    

But right now, Xu Rongsheng had Master Zhang, a huge figure like him. To Xu Rongsheng, Zhao Family's property wasn't that important anymore.    

    

Sensing that Zhao Shengtian was about to lose his temper, Xu Rongsheng hurriedly said: "Old Master, how about this, I have a person I can recommend to you. He is completely capable of becoming the Patriarch of Zhao Family."    

    

"Oh? "You say?"    

    

"I recommend Zhao Xiang." Xu Rongsheng said.    

    

Zhao Xiang, who was standing a distance away, was shocked and excited. Brother Xu, I never thought of what you just said.    

    

"Zhao Xiang?"    

    

Zhao Shengtian thought for a while, and in the end nodded: "I agree with you, but, you have to first take over the position of Zhao Family Patriarch for three years, before you can pass it to Zhao Xiang."    

    

Xu Rongsheng helplessly agreed. Looks like today, Zhao Shengtian must make him the head of the family.    

    

Zhao Xiang said excitedly, "Thank you, Father!"    

    

The whole thing had nothing to do with Zhao Huan. He was in an unbalanced state and suddenly realized that life was just a play. He was singing the main part and in a blink of an eye, his real identity turned out to be a hilarious clown who would make people laugh.    

    

The higher he stood, the more painful it would be to fall. Zhao Huan tried his best to suppress his anger as he walked towards Zhao Shengtian with heavy steps.    

    

"Father, I don't agree."    

    

"I've worked hard for so many years for the Zhao Family, you can't just ignore me like this. You kept saying that they were your sons, but did you ever think that I was also your son!? "    

    

"Even if there's no merit, there's still hard work to be done. The Zhao Family industry is rising day by day, and many people in the province are praising it. The people outside the province are envious, this is all due to my hard work!"    

    

Zhao Huan's words were directed at Zhao Shengtian.    

    

Wei Shengloong, who was not far away, shook his head, thinking that Zhao Huan was getting excited. If he said it like this, then the position of Patriarch of Zhao Family would not be given any chance to speak, and instead, would fall into conflict with the Old Master, causing all his hard work to go down the drain, and it would become impossible in the future.    

    

Zhao Shengtian lowered his eyes and asked:    

    

"I'm asking you."    

    

"If it's Rongsheng and Zhao Xiang, with your position and power in the Zhao Family, would they be weaker than you?"    

    

Zhao Shengtian's words reached everyone's ears.    

    

Indeed, just in terms of personal ability, Xu Rongsheng had the title of the number one businessman in Xihu Province. On the other hand, if Zhao Xiang didn't have his daughter Zhao Zitong, it was likely that he would have long since replaced Zhao Huan and become an existence second only to Zhao Shengtian in Zhao Family.    

    

This was generally accepted by everyone in the Zhao Family.    

    

Zhao Huan was sad, but his father brought up a topic that he could not refute at all. He was indeed inferior to Zhao Xiang and Xu Rongsheng.    

    

Zhao Shengtian said leisurely: "I was preparing the Patriarch's seat for Rong Sheng in the first place."    

    

Zhao Huan realized that the reason he had been able to gain the right to manage Zhao Family after defeating Zhao Xiang was not because he had a son, but because the position of Patriarch was something that he had prepared for Xu Rongsheng from start to finish.    

    

And Zhao Huan's hard work, to put it bluntly, was to let his predecessors plant a tree and enjoy the shade.    

    

When Zhao Huan thought of his hard work being ignored by Zhao Shengtian, the darkness in his heart quickly expanded and his face became distorted.    

    

"Father, I beg of you, please reconsider!"    

    

Zhao Huan suddenly said, his words already had some warning meaning.    

    

Zhao Xiang reprimanded Zhao Huan, "Zhao Huan, what nonsense are you spouting? Is this how you talk to your father?"    

    

Zhao Shengtian was ready to leave.    

    

Zhao Huan sneered and said decisively, "Father, since that's the case, let's end this matter here."    

    

"Hand over the Azure Flower Shield!"    

    

Zhao Family Feast s, hundreds of people were flabbergasted, even Wei Shengloong and the other rich people who were standing on the same boat as Zhao Huan did not expect Zhao Huan to threaten Zhao Shengtian in such an important occasion!    

    

The Azure Flower Shield was the most precious treasure to the Zhao Family. According to the rumors, it was precisely this treasure that changed Zhao Shengtian's fate and caused Zhao Shengtian's Zhao Family to rise rapidly in just a few short years, becoming an existence at the level of an Overlord.    

    

As for Zhao Shengtian, he had mentioned several times in public that he wanted the Azure Flower Shield to be passed down and become the family heirloom of Zhao Family.    

    

Now, Zhao Huan publicly threatened Zhao Shengtian, making him hand over the shield.    

    

Xu Rongsheng also did not expect Zhao Huan to make such a request. The Cyan Flower Shield was the Ancient Artifact that Xu Rongsheng's father had passed to Zhao Shengtian before he left.    

    

The [Viridescent Flower Shield] changed the feng shui, promoting the rise of the Zhao Family industry.    

    

"Zhao Huan, you took the wrong medicine today. Hurry up and apologize to your father!" Zhao Xiang reprimanded.    

    

Zhao Huan retorted, "The Old Master doesn't want to hand over the Azure Flower Shield, so don't even think about leaving today. Xu Rongsheng, Zhao Xiang, Zhao Zitong, you waste of Zhao Family will become my stepping stone for seizing the Zhao Family!"    

    

At this moment, Zhang Haorann arrived late and walked to Xu Rongsheng's side.    

    

Zhao Zitong, who came with Zhang Haorann, stood behind Zhao Xiang.    

    

Zhang Haorann looked at Zhao Huan and said lightly:    

    

"Zhao Huan, your performance tonight is even worse than your son's."
