Hearing these words, a look of excitement appeared on Xue Ting’s face at the other end of the phone.
In fact, she had been waiting for these words for far too long!
For the past three years, she had been thinking about how happy it would be if the position of heir to the Chen family could return to Young Master Nan’s hands, but unfortunately, all this had become an extravagant hope in the face of Chen Lingjun and the Shura Palace behind him.
Xue Ting, however, had never expected that now his own Young Master Nan had actually made such a decision!
“Young Master Nan, are you …… you really going to do this?”
Xue Ting asked somewhat incredulously.
Of course she wanted Young Master Nan to do this, but from the bottom of her heart, she was still worried about Chen Lingjun and the strength of that Xiu Luo Palace!
Li Nan naturally understood Xue Ting’s worry, but he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, nowadays, I no longer need to put Chen Lingjun in my eyes!”
At this moment, Xue Ting immediately understood everything.
It seemed that his own Young Master Nan was already determined to win back the Chen Family this time!
“I understand Young Master Nan! I wish you all the best!”
Xue Ting said very seriously.
“Many thanks!”
Li Nan said with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, Li Nan did not hesitate any longer and directly rushed towards the direction of the Chen family as fast as he could.
Meanwhile, the Chen family.
On top of the huge hidden island, the Chen Family was still situated on the sea as it had been three years ago.
Everything seemed to be the same as before, but only those who were there could clearly feel that the Chen Family of today had changed drastically from the Chen Family of three years ago.
Three years ago, the Chen family was prosperous from the inside out, and as the number one family in the world, the Chen family had a staggering amount of wealth.
All those who were part of the Chen family would exude a sense of pride and superiority from their bones.
Back then, the Chen family was a magnificent giant in its prime, unrivalled by anyone!
But today, all those in the Chen family can clearly feel an unprecedented decay!
This decay, like a virus, has spread to every corner and every aspect of the Chen family.
The lack of funds and the overdraft of wealth, things that would never have been associated with a top-tier family like the Chen Family, were now all present in the Chen Family.
The Chen family’s sons and daughters clearly felt that they had limited wealth at their disposal, to the point of being stretched to the limit!
Previously, all the Chen family’s sons and daughters, whether they were from the first line or the concubine line, had an indescribable sense of superiority in front of any outsiders, and at every party, they would pay the bill.
But now, these Chen family sons and daughters all felt inferior to others, and were even on the verge of having a feeling of inferiority.
The foxes and friends who had previously treated them with utmost respect would now challenge their authority from time to time, and no longer even take them seriously!
Even the streets that had been filled with traffic were now deserted.
Apart from the Chen family’s own people, there are basically very few outsiders coming here anymore, as there is rarely any cooperation between them and the Chen family anymore.
Decline!
This was the decline of the Chen Family!
Everyone could feel it clearly.
Even those servants at the lowest level of the Chen family had felt the decline of the Chen family, and many of them had even started to plan to find their next homes and escape the sinking ship of the Chen family!
Walking through the streets of the Chen family today, all one can feel is the air of decay and decay of the new family, and all one can see is numbness and mute.
The sign at the entrance is broken and no one has repaired it, and the tarmac is overgrown with weeds and no one has trimmed it.
Because no one was paying attention to this anymore, those in charge were also turning a blind eye, because they also knew that the entire Chen family, it seemed, did not care about these details anymore.
The entire Chen Family’s focus, since three years ago, had shifted to that so-called Tongtian Tower Project.
This astonishingly huge project was like an infinitely large furnace that was constantly burning up the Chen Family’s wealth!
And now, this furnace was going to completely ignite even the last bit of dignity of the Chen Family!
At this moment, in the Chen Family’s central hall, a figure crossed his legs and sat comfortably atop the main seat.
This figure was none other than the current Chen family head, Chen Lingjun!
Beside Chen Lingjun were two middle-aged men, the Fourth Elder of the Chen Family, Chen Qingsheng, and the Sixth Elder, Chen Jinglei!
Ever since Chen Lingjun had assumed the position of heir to the Chen Family, Chen Qingsheng and Chen Jinglei had become Chen Lingjun’s most loyal lackeys, obeying Chen Lingjun’s words at all times.
In fact, Chen Hongguang, the eldest elder, should also have been among this group, but unfortunately, he was used as a shield by Chen Lingjun three years ago and died at the hands of Li Nan.
Chen Hongguang’s fate was miserable, but it was only a pity that the same failed to alert Chen Qingsheng and Chen Jinglei to their fate.
Over the past three years, they had completely acted as accomplices to the tiger, not only relying on Chen Lingjun’s might to oppress the rest of the Chen family, but also to amass a fortune and take all the Chen family’s family business for themselves.
In three years’ time, these two men had already made a fortune and become one of the few people in the Chen family who were very well off.
At this moment, in front of Chen Lingjun and the others, there were more than thirty figures kneeling neatly.
These people were the thirty-six treasurers of the Chen Family!
The Chen Family’s wealth was extremely large, and after breaking it down, it was divided into thirty-six financial departments.
These thirty-six treasurers were the heads of these thirty-six financial departments!
Originally, these thirty-six treasurers were all in charge of their own departments, and there was no distinction between them and they were not allowed to interact with each other in private.
However, today, they were all gathered here by Chen Lingjun, for the purpose of using the Chen Family Security Fund!
The Chen Family Security Fund was very important to the Chen Family, and in order to use it, two conditions had to be met.
The first condition was that more than half of the Chen family members had to support the fund, while the second condition was that more than 30 of the 36 treasurers had to support the fund.
Although the Chen family had long resented Chen Lingjun’s leadership over the years, they did not dare to make an enemy of Chen Lingjun easily.
In fact, now that the first condition has been met, Chen Lingjun has met it!
More than half of the Chen family had already been coerced by Chen Lingjun by various means and finally gave in.
Now, all Chen Lingjun needed to do was to make these Elders bow down to him, and then he would be able to get the right to use the safety fund!
At this moment, he heard the Fourth Elder Chen Qing Sheng look at the thirty-six treasurers in front of him and said with a proud face, “It’s getting late, what do you think about it?
Just now, the Fourth Elder had already spoken to these treasurers about using the security fund, and was now waiting for their attitude.
At this moment, an old man in his seventies said with a gloomy face, “The security fund is a matter of great importance! We must wait for the old family head to arrive before we make a statement!”
This old man’s voice was resounding and very unassuming.
This old man, named Tang Chengren, was the oldest of the thirty-six treasurers. He had been the treasurer since he was thirty years old, and had been in the position for over forty years.
As soon as Tang Chengren said this, he immediately gained the support of those other large finance chiefs.
“That’s right, we won’t take a stand without the old family head!”
“We want the old family head to come!”
“We’ll wait for the old family head!”
Those other Treasurer’s were all in agreement.
In fact, the hearts of these wealthy chiefs had actually already had a plan in mind.
They had all clearly seen the decline and decay of the Chen Family over the past three years in their eyes.
The current Chen family head, Chen Lingjun, did not have any intention of developing the Chen family at all.
These treasurers knew very well that if they handed over this last security fund, then the entire Chen Family would be completely finished and would have no chance of turning over a new leaf!
Therefore, these finance ministers had already discussed in private that they would never agree to hand over the security fund, no matter what!
At this moment, hearing the words of these treasurers, Chen Jinglei at the side coldly snorted and shouted, “I think you people are really f*cking confused! Nowadays, the Chen Family has already been under the authority of Young Master Jun, yet you are still waiting for the old family head to come over, I think you don’t even have Young Master Jun in your sights!”
As he spoke, a cold aura directly emanated from Chen Jinglei’s body, causing people to gasp for breath.
Such intimidation might work for others, but these thirty-six treasurers were all carefully selected by Chen Beichuan and the ancestors of the Chen family, and they were also the ones who existed under the succession system, and they had already known their loyalty to the Chen family since they were young.
Therefore, in response to these intimidations from Chen Jinglei, these treasury chiefs were not going to give in because of it!
“Sixth Elder, you don’t need to scare us with these words, as the Chen Family’s Treasurer, we are not all intimidated! We have already said that we will only express our attitude when the old family head arrives, even if you threaten us as much as you can, we will not obey like a hobgoblin!”
A treasurer said with a sullen and cold face.
This finance minister was called Qiao Jun, and although he was very young, his bones were indescribably resolute.
He had taken over the mantle of treasurer from his father only five years ago, but he had never expected that, after only two years of taking over, the entire Chen family had undergone a radical change!
