Well, the matter has been announced, and early tomorrow morning, I will have someone inform the entire family, as well as all of the family’s corporate groups, of this news! Chen Nan is the prospective heir to our Chen family from tomorrow!”
Chen Beichuan announced with great excitement.
Hearing these words, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt, as well as Chen Can and the others, all looked delighted.
The position of heir to the Chen family originally belonged to Li Nan’s father, Chen Huai Shan.
After Chen Huishan’s accidental death, Chen Beichuan had not named the next heir because he remembered his son and was unhappy with him.
Now, the position of successor had fallen to Li Nan, which made them happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.
But at that moment, a figure at the elders’ table spoke slowly.
“Family head, the position of heir to my Chen family is not trivial, I think it is better not to rush it!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent, and they all looked towards the direction from which the voice came.
The person who spoke was named Chen Hongguang, the Chen Family’s Eldest Elder, and was second only to the Family Head, Chen Beichuan, in the Chen Family.
“That’s right, Family Head, anyway, all of our bodies are still hard and strong now, and Xiao Nan has just returned to the Chen Family. I don’t think there’s a need to be in such a hurry about the heir.”
Another elder next to him also said in a calm voice.
This man’s name was Chen Qingsheng and he was the fourth elder of the Chen Family!
As Chen Hongguang and Chen Qingsheng opened their mouths, the atmosphere in the entire Great Hall instantly became gloomy.
After all, as the head of the family, Chen Beichuan had always been a man of nine words in the entire Chen family.
But now, as soon as he had announced the matter of the heir, these elders jumped out to oppose it, the atmosphere was obviously not quite right.
At this moment, Chen Beichuan’s face couldn’t help but look gloomy.
“What, do the two elders have any opinions about my decision?”
Chen Beichuan asked in a calm voice.
“Not really an opinion, it’s just that Chen Nan he just returned to the Chen Family today, he doesn’t know too much about the Chen Family yet, so ……”
Chen Qingsheng said with a smile on his face.
Not waiting for Chen Qingsheng to finish, another voice rang out somewhat impatiently.
“It’s not that you don’t know too much, it’s that you know too little!”
This voice was clearly a little less than harmonious and carried a clear sense of displeasure.
The person who spoke was the Sixth Elder, Chen Jinglei.
Just like his name, Chen Jinglei’s temper was always fiery.
Only to hear Chen Jinglei continue, “As far as I know, for the previous twenty years or so, Chen Nan has been living in an ordinary poor family. How can a man of such origins be qualified to lead our huge Chen family! It’s simply a joke!”
Chen Jinglei spoke in a very nonchalant manner, not giving any face to Li Nan at all.
“That’s right, Chen Nan grew up in a small family and has very limited eyesight and drive. In my opinion, any one of the juniors of the Chen family is more qualified than him to take up this position of heir!”
Grand Elder Chen Hongguang said with a gloomy expression.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire Great Hall instantly dropped to a freezing point.
Everyone had felt the oppressive power of these elders.
When Chen Beichuan heard the voices of these elders objecting, his face also sank to a gloomy tone.
In fact, at the beginning, Chen Beichuan was also worried about these problems on Li Nan.
However, after this year of testing, Chen Beichuan felt that these were no longer any problems.
Li Nan was far more mature than before, both in terms of vision and drive, and was no less capable than those Chen family children who had been well educated since childhood.
The key is that Li Nan is extremely affectionate and loyal to both his adoptive parents and his friends and relatives.
This was also one of the things that Rang Chen Beichuan valued most.
This kind of good character is extremely rare among these rich and powerful children who like to fight for power and profit.
Having lived in the Chen family since childhood and having been in charge of it for so many years, Chen Beichuan’s understanding of the Chen family was far more profound than that of others.
Chen Beichuan knew very well that the Chen family had reached a time of change!
After so many years of development, today’s Chen Family, although it still looked prosperous on the surface, actually had a lot of accumulated illnesses.
Almost every single person in the family had their eyes above the ground.
Their state of mind has completely wandered away from the ordinary world.
All they see is money and power, status and strife, but they have abandoned many of the emotions and human feelings that ordinary people should have!
This is like the kings of ancient times, who were kept in the air for so long that they forgot the plight and feelings of ordinary people.
Prosperity is still prosperous, wealth is still wealthy.
But this is a more dangerous thing!
After all, no one can be above all beings forever!
Just as in ancient times, all emperors who tried to stay above the people forever ended up in ruin!
The Chen family was powerful, but it was no different!
Chen Beichuan had a vague feeling that such a point was not far away from the Chen family, and that in a hundred years or a few decades, the Chen family was bound to go downhill.
That was why Chen Beichuan was thinking of making a change in the Chen Family.
It was only after Chen Beichuan met Li Nan in that dilapidated hutong that Chen Beichuan realised that this grandson in front of him was a chance to give the Chen family a chance to change!
This is actually the main reason why Chen Beichuan gave up on those well-educated Chen family sons and finally chose Li Nan as his successor!
It was not because of Chen Beichuan’s love for Li Nan, as others thought.
It was just that Chen Beichuan had not expected that his decision would be so opposed by the people of the Elders’ Hall!
Chen Beichuan believed that some of these people in the Elders’ Hall were indeed worried for the future of the Chen family.
But some people’s thoughts were not so pure!
The world was bustling with profit, and the world was bustling with profit.
Such words are equally applicable to a family as large as the Chen family!
Chen Beichuan had already made up his mind, and with Zhang Zhengkun’s reminders from before, Chen Beichuan would never allow anyone to disrupt his layout!
“Alright, I have already decided on the matter of establishing Chen Nan as the heir, and no one can change it!”
Chen Beichuan’s tone was unquestionable.
At this moment, his majesty as the Chen family’s head was on full display!
However, at this moment, the Grand Elder Chen Hongguang smiled faintly.
“Family Head, I am afraid that it is still too early to say such a thing ……”
Hearing these words, Chen Beichuan could not help but frown.
“What do you mean?!”
