After the end of the year, the Spring Festival of another year will soon come.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I stay at home.

In the courtyard, the exquisite stone lions and red lanterns present a festive scene.The courtyard is planted with precious flowers and trees of various shapes. When walking through the path, you can see rockeries and winding verandahs surrounding the central pond, connecting the front and rear entrances to the courtyard.Beside, servants cleaned the yard and hung up red lanterns.

The vermilion door of the main house has a wood-carved pattern that has not faded over the years, and the copper gilding on the door knocker has been wiped off its luster, making it look even more ancient.

The lights are brightly lit and red lanterns are hung high.Such a rich and noble world.

Gu Yiqin, wearing a calm black suit, walked calmly and leisurely through the courtyard.The Gu family's servants greeted him in low voices when they saw him.

The steward respectfully asked for the way, "Master, they are all waiting for you."

Gu Yiqin stepped into the main door. The New Year's Eve dinner in previous years had never been so together. In addition to Gu Zhou and Gu Yuxun, all branches of the Gu family were also present.

Mr. Gu, wearing a designer suit, was sitting in the middle of the main hall, holding Buddhist beads in his hand, with exquisite bone china bowls and chopsticks placed in front of him.

The women present all wore bright and eye-catching cheongsams. While tasting the soup, they looked at the author's signature on the hanging scroll of the famous painting.The children happily counted how many new banknotes were in the red envelope.The men on the side were talking in low voices about their business plans in recent years.

The food on the Eight Immortals table nearby has not yet been served, and it seems that they are waiting for him.

"Old man, father, mother, uncles and aunts, I'm late."

Gu Yiqin saluted respectfully, and his words and deeds were well behaved to the core. Only his eyes were deep and calm, even a little leisurely.

"Please take a seat, young master." Mr. Gu spoke majestically.

The servant respectfully invited him to take a seat, and then everyone sat down at the table.At this time, the dishes began to be served. The Eight Immortals table was covered with white velvet cloth and the dishes were placed.

Exquisite dishes such as abalone and flower mushroom braised wings, matsutake and sea cucumber king prawns, caviar braised Yi noodles, starfish, chrysanthemum and crab meat cakes were served one after another, and the tablecloth was quickly filled with all kinds of delicacies.

The butler poured the fragrant red wine respectfully, and the scene suddenly became festive and lively.

"Yi Qin, you must try more of this scallop and chicken stew. It is top quality airlifted from the East China Sea."

With a smile on her face, Nan Wenqi used serving chopsticks to pick up food for him.But it can be seen that the movements are still a bit uneasy and tentative.

Gu Yiqin nodded slightly, his eyebrows were calm, and his words were gentle and smooth.

"Thank you, mother, but I don't like seafood."

Nan Wenqi's expression froze and he smiled awkwardly.Gu Yiqin ate quietly and gracefully without looking at her, and the scallop was left in the cold on the edge of the bowl.It was polite not to throw it away.

Mr. Gu saw it clearly and sneered in his heart.He turned his eyes and suddenly spoke.

"It's rare for the Gu family to gather together like this. Taking this opportunity, I have something to announce."

His tone was sonorous and powerful, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Everyone put down their chopsticks and looked respectfully at Mr. Gu, who was in charge, waiting for the announcement.

Mr. Gu turned his eyes to Gu Yiqin, who looked indifferent.

"Yi Qin, you are already 25 this year. Your father and I have discussed it for a long time and decided after careful consideration that you should quit business and join politics after the New Year."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and looked at each other.

The Gu family's century-old family business has always been about business and politics.

It was only at the beginning of Gu Yan's generation that Gu Yan went into business.

The Gu family is upright and upright, but as for Gu Zhou... it is difficult for him to shoulder this important responsibility.

But when it comes to Gu Yiqin's generation, Gu Yuxun is a sick boy and comes from a bad background.Gu Yiqin succeeded Gu Yan in business.But there is no one to inherit Mr. Gu’s mantle.

But if Gu Yiqin goes into politics, who will hand over this huge business empire?
Everyone's hearts sank, and they were all speculating about the old man's arrangements and plans.

Mr. Gu ignored the different expressions on everyone's faces and continued to speak in a deep voice. "Now that Gu Yan has returned to China, the Gu Group will be handed over to him first. When Gu Yan retires, the chairmanship will be handed over to Yi Qin."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar. So, Gu Zhou and his son Gu Yuxun didn't lose anything?

There is no end to the bias.

Gu Zhou's face was gloomy and ugly, and the gentle smile on Gu Yuxun's lips gradually turned cold.

"As for the kid Yu Xun." Mr. Gu spoke again, "He is qualified to be the vice president of the company. Follow Gu Yan and learn hard."

Gu Yuxun nodded with a smile on his face, but sneered in his heart.The best goes to Gu Yiqin, what do they mean to the Gu family?Tool man?

Gu Zhou waited for a long time, but he didn't get his own.Couldn't help but speak.

"Dad, what about me?"

Mr. Gu glanced at him with indifference.

"You are worse than your son."

"."

Gu Zhou clenched his fists angrily.

"Learn how to write the word calm. I haven't made any progress in so many years abroad." The old man's words were cold and rude.

Of course he could see clearly what kind of people Gu Yuxun and Gu Zhou were.

Gu Yuxun didn't judge anything, so far it was just a small fight.But Gu Zhou let the dog out in front of his precious grandson in the office last time.This is unbearable.

The scene is strange and indistinguishable, with undercurrents surging.Gu Yiqin, who was next to the main seat, was in a dull state of mind. He looked down at the embroidery pattern on the tablecloth and had no comment on the Gu family's arrangement.

Mr. Gu said to Gu Yiqin, "Yiqin, neither of my two sons can inherit my legacy. The Gu family depends on you. I plan to let you enter the financial system."

Everyone took a deep breath.

But one can also imagine how extensive the old man’s connections are from all walks of life.It is these connections that have kept the Gu family at the top of the imperial capital for so many years.

Gu Yuxun clenched the chopsticks in his hand, the viciousness in his eyes hidden under his eyelids.

According to this trend, Gu Yiqin can even rise to unimaginable heights in 10-15 years.

Why should all the good things be his?

Gu Yiqin tugged his lips idly and responded lightly.

The second half of the New Year's Eve dinner was conducted on thin ice. After the meal was over, the servant came to collect the bowls and chopsticks. Mr. Gu stood up and said to Gu Yiqin.

"Yi Qin, come to the study with me."

Gu Yiqin stood up and followed the old man into the study.

The sunken wooden door was closed, blocking all prying eyes from outside.

In the middle of the room is an antique bookcase with several antique calligraphy and paintings placed on it, as well as a blue and white porcelain inkstone. The fragrance of ink fills the entire space.

Mr. Gu sat in front of the desk and motioned for Gu Yiqin to sit down.
