Section 13: Election of the patriarch

When my feet walked off the plane and stepped onto the land of Tonghai, I felt a sense of comfort all over my body. It felt so good to go home! As I expected, as soon as I left the domestic export, I saw my parents smiling a little dazed faces.

It was exactly the same as before. As soon as I saw me, my mother rushed forward and stretched out her hands to pinch my cheeks, "Oh, my baby son, why are you back now? I want your mother to die."

However, this time my dad didn't do anything, just stood by with a smile and said, "Oh, my son is old, don't pinch him like this anymore."

I quickly agreed, "That's it."

Mom smiled happily and said, "Baby son, don't worry, when you have a girlfriend, mom won't pinch you."

Dad nodded and followed his mother to smile and said, "Yes, although you are not old, if you like it, we don't object to finding someone."

I thought to myself, "One? You look down on your son too much. I have added one now, and I'm just annoying about this."

However, I thought this in my heart, and naturally I didn't dare to say this, so I could only smile as a good son.

Seeing me like this, my mother patted my shoulder and said, "Okay, son, this is not like choosing a girlfriend. Don't worry, let's go and go home..."

My dad also touched my head, "Well, son, don't worry, you have the good genes of my dad, so there is absolutely no problem."

As he said that, our family of three got on the bus together and headed home. The car was driven for less than three minutes. I saw that the car was still the car from last year and asked, "Mom and Dad, didn't I give you much money? Why are you still driving this car? Why don't you change one?"

"Oh, what to change? Just drive a car. You are really a money-worshiping maniac. We have saved all your money for you and you will use it for your wife in the future." My father said with a smile, and thought of something, "Oh, by the way, son, I have something to discuss with you."

I leaned over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Dad said, "Zhengqing said that he wanted to hold a family meeting and re-elect the patriarch. What do you think?"

"What's wrong?" I asked in confusion, "If he wants to convene, it's up. What does it have to do with me?"

At this time, my mother said, "My stupid son, you can't even see this. The position of patriarch should belong to our eldest son. Chu Zhengqing has always relied on his wealth and power to dominate. Now, you are so promising, you are making movies and acting as that couplet...what is there..."

Dad said: "United Travel."

"Oh, yes, I became the vice president of United Tourism again, and I made a lot of money and had a high status. Of course, he felt guilty when he sat in that seat. That's why he wanted to hold such a ceremony to straighten you so that you could have a good memory of him." When my mother said this, she glared at her father, "On the Chu family, my son is a honest person, and the others are all cunning."

"Yes, you are the only good people in the world." My dad smiled at my mom, then turned his head and asked me, "Son, what do you think?"

I tsk, thought about it in my mind, and said to my dad, "Dad, you shouldn't ask me about this matter, you should ask yourself. I don't care about any family or family. I have never fallen into any benefits from those relatives since I was a child. I don't care about everything related to the family. But Dad, you are different. You have always been thinking about the family before and after the family. So, I said, it depends on you. If you are interested, I will participate. However, I don't become this patriarch. I have a lot of work now, so I don't have time to work on these things. At that time, Dad, you go to the election, you have a high seniority, and then I have the strength to play with my son. When you get on, I will expel all the groups that didn't have eyes from the genealogy. That's how happy it will be."

"Yes, just look at it that way, let those people taste what the world is like." My mother also smiled and fisted and agreed.

So, my father tickled at my mother, "Aqi is a child, why are you a decade old coaxing?"

My mother pouted at my dad, then turned her face to look out the window. At this time, my dad said to me: "Aqi, you are not a child anymore, don't say such a child. No matter what..."

As soon as I heard this, I knew my dad was going to have a third article again, so I nodded quickly and said, "Oh, dad, I heard your ears calloused. Don't be like diplomatic, just say it straight, what do you want to do? As a son, you will definitely support it with unlimited support."

"Yeah." My dad nodded with satisfaction at my attitude, and then said while concentrating on driving, "Actually, it's nothing to do if anyone is the leader of this clan. But now everyone knows that you are the most promising in our family. Everyone hopes to make a name for you. Although they had many wrong things in the past, we are the eldest family after all..."

Hearing this, I immediately understood. I immediately reached out and stopped, "Okay, dad, I understand. We will meet Chu Zhengqing tomorrow and discuss the details with him, okay?"

When my dad heard me say this, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, okay."

At this time, my mother also turned her head, reached out to touch my head, and smiled and said, "Look, your Chu family has been in a state of affairs for hundreds of years, and the more they have been in trouble, they have to rely on my son."

As he said that, my mother smiled and gave me a thumbs up, "Son, it's great."

Seeing my parents so happy, I was so happy than to make more money. For a moment, the gloom that the mysterious man pressed on my heart also dissipated a lot.

The next day, my dad took me to Chu Zhengqing's villa. Unlike last time, when our car arrived, we saw Chu Zhengqing standing at the door to greet him. As soon as I got off the car, Chu Zhengqing took Chu Luohua up and held my hand hard, "Oh, I'll just say that Tianqi still pretends to be from our family. Look, I'm right, he will come back soon if there is any major event in the family."

I smiled faintly and said nothing. Chu Luohua, who was standing behind Chu Zhengqing, seemed a little embarrassed. It was obvious that she was also a little embarrassed that her father was so flattering in front of me. Although I didn't have much affection for Chu Zhengqing, just like my father said, no matter what, it was always a family, not to mention Chu Luohua's face.

So, I thought about it and said with a smile: "Of course, of course."

As we said that, the four of us walked into the villa side by side. After sitting down and greeting for a while, Chu Zhengqing began to talk about the election of the patriarch. In fact, it is a nonsense to say that the election is because I am the only patriarch candidate. What a nonsense? To put it bluntly, it is actually just the position of patriarch to return our chief's house. I just want to be nice to see in terms of face.

Although I understood this in my heart, I still said politely: "It's great, very good."

Then, Chu Zhengqing began to tell me again that he invited many high-ranking officials and celebrities to watch the ceremony for this ceremony, and spent a lot of wallets to a big hotel, etc. To put it bluntly, they are all words that show merit. I didn't take it seriously, I just heard it.

However, who knew that after he finished speaking, he said to me: "Aqi, you are only twenty years old now, but you have achieved such great achievements. The future achievements are definitely limitless. This is God bless our Chu family. Your rise is the beginning of the rise of our Chu family. So, I want to make this movement bigger as much as possible, so that other families in Tonghai City will know that our Chu family is different from the past. So, look... are you also looking for some people to watch the ceremony? After all, your situation is bigger than all of us, and the people you invite must be much higher than mine."

"Me?" I thought for a while and asked, "When was the election?"

Chu Zhengqing replied: "On August 27th."

"So?" I tsk a little, "The people I know are either classmates or colleagues, and everyone is very busy. If there is such a short time, I'm afraid there will be no time to arrange it."

Chu Zhengqing shook his hand and said, "This is OK. If you really have friends, it doesn't matter if we postpone our time a little."

I also shook my head, "I'd rather not, it's not auspicious to change my life. I'll try to invite a few friends who are in Tonghai to join in the fun."

"Well, that's right." Chu Zhengqing said, nodding with regret, "Okay, then let's do it first. Aqi, you have a lot of trouble, you should go and do yours first. I will do this little thing about the election of the patriarch."

I quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll bother you."

Then, I turned around and left Chu Zhengqing's house with my dad. While my dad was talking to Chu Zhengqing, I asked Chu Luohua: "Luohua, why do you have time to stay at home? Didn't you go out for fun with Zhang Sheng?"

Chu Luohua pouted with dissatisfaction and said, "What are you playing? He went out for a few days in Tonghai and hasn't come back yet."

I asked in confusion: "Going out for a trip? Why don't you go with me?"

"He said he wanted to go climbing the mountain, and was worried that I would not endure the hardship, so he didn't let me go."

I blinked for a while, "Climb...the mountain? Then has he contacted you?"

"Yes, I'll call me every two or three days."

"Then did he tell you where he is hiking now?"

"No, I didn't ask him, nor did he say anything." Chu Luohua said this, looking at me and asked, "Why, do you want to know where he is? Then I'll ask him to call you."

I smiled and shook my head, "No need, let him climb the mountain with peace of mind."

"Yes." Chu Luohua nodded, and then said, "But don't worry, I told him about the election of the patriarch, and he said he would definitely be there that day."

I smiled and nodded, "Well, he's intent."

Hearing me say this, Chu Luohua looked at me strangely and asked, "Yeah, why did you suddenly say such a strange thing to Zhang Sheng?"

I turned my head in surprise and looked at Chu Luohua, "Ah, do I have it? Do you have an illusion?"

Chu Luohua looked at me with no certainty, blinked his eyes and said, "Maybe I'm too sensitive. Anyway, I think you both are weird now."

I smiled at Chu Luohua and said nothing.

After returning home, after a little rest, I sat up and called Loulanxue. On the phone, I told her about my choice of patriarch and asked her if she could let her father join in the fun. His father is the president of Tonghai Academy of Painting. No matter what, he is a celebrity in society. Loulanxue immediately agreed, "This is so good, my father will definitely be happy to go. If you don't dislike me, I will go with you."

And I smiled and said, "I don't mind it. The beauty is coming, and I am glorious."

After making an appointment with Loulanxue and his daughter, I thought about it for a while and found a way to find out the phone number of Wulan’s father Wu Xueyun, and then called him.

As soon as the phone was answered, there was a proud baritone over there, "Hey, I'm Wu Xueyun."

When I was just a small character, I was not afraid of Wu Xueyun, but now when I heard his voice, I felt nervous, "Uh... Hello Uncle Wu, I am Chu Tianqi."

"Ah?" Wu Xueyun was stunned for a moment, then said a long time, "It's Aqi, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

"Uh...this...is...this is true, I recently..." I said a little nervously about the invitation to participate in my patriarch election, and then I heard Wu Xueyun agree immediately, "Of course it's okay, I will definitely come forward to support you when the time comes."

Speaking of this, I began to feel a little embarrassed again. I didn’t know whether to hang up the phone immediately or to put on a few more words. At this moment, I heard Wu Xueyun say meaningfully: “Aqi, I only have a child like Lanlan.”

"Well... I know, I know!" I said hurriedly.

"Aqi, you are a sensible person. I won't say much about the others, that's it." Wu Xueyun said, and hung up the phone.

And I let out a long breath and touched my forehead, and I felt a lot of sweat.

However, as soon as I hung up the phone, my phone rang again. I saw that it was Feng Ying, so I quickly answered. As soon as I heard Feng Ying smile and said, "Chu Tianqi, don't you send me an invitation to such a happy event as a clan leader?"

I fainted immediately, "How do you know about this?"

"It was Zhang Zhenlong who told me that he had several friends who received invitations, but he didn't. He complained to me on the phone? I don't care. I'll send me an invitation quickly. I happened to take this opportunity to rest for two days."

Just after I finished talking with Feng Ying, my phone rang again. This time it was Zhong Rui's, "Aqi, I heard you are going to be the patriarch?"

"How did you know?"

"My grandpa told me. I told you that I will definitely support you when the time comes."

Then, Han Rong called again, "Aqi, I heard you are going to be the patriarch?"

"How did you know?"

"Zhong Rui told me, but I may not be able to go, but I will send you a remote video to congratulate you."

In just one afternoon, after I answered the phone so hard that my head was dizzy, it finally stopped ringing. So I let out a long breath and lay on the bed. Then, I suddenly remembered something, and I was sweating all over my body - my day, this time, I was really a gathering of beautiful women. Then several mms met together, plus Ulan's father, I... how should I deal with it then?

Dad, you really killed this time!
