Pretend To Be a Boss

  Chapter 299 Seizure of Power

"Hey, it's really hard to say whether we can have dinner together. The main time is not in time. It depends on whether there is much business tomorrow. Alas, I am really busy these days. Forgive me, brother." Song Wei said with a smile, with a hint of sorry.

  Song Gengchao on the other end of the phone was not surprised, and said regretfully:

"Originally, I wanted to talk about some matters in the future of the first fortress. If the sixth child is inconvenient, then we can change it to another day. Without you, it doesn't matter if other people come. Alas, family, or We should get together more."

  Hongmen Banquet, of course, the party who set the banquet controls the rhythm. In the land of my own home, the layout is convenient, and others can see what preparations they have in advance. Song Wei didn't want to lose this initiative.

   But hearing Song Gengchao's words, he asked again:

   "Hey, brother, you have invited a lot? Who else is coming?"

"They're all here, but most of them are looking at your face. They said they wanted to invite you. If you don't come, I'll let the other brothers go back. Sigh, let's change the time." Exactly." Song Gengchao sighed.

   "This is not very good, so how about it, big brother, don't be in a hurry to call people back, I will try my best to push back the business tomorrow, and I will give you an answer in the morning?" Song Wei said.

   "That's all right, come as much as you can, and give me a letter early, so that I can be confused." Song Gengchao's tone was always slightly regretful, like two brothers chatting about family matters.

   Then Song Wei and Song Gengchao exchanged a few words, then hung up the phone.

  The banquet in the pyramid doesn't have much food, the main thing is to drink, so it's quick to prepare. So Song Gengchao didn't seem to hear Song Wei's other meanings.

  At least Song Wei thinks so.

  Song Zhuo said: "Father, this Song Gengchao invited you, what is the rule?"

  Song Wei shook his head, he was very scheming, and he couldn't think of Song Gengchao's operation after much deliberation. Just thinking about it, he said:

"He met Lin Jue, Qin Qian, and others from Song Que's former department today, and called me that night. Don't go to bed too early tonight. Ask our eyeliner in the Song Mansion. After Song Gengchao came back, how is it different from the past? Can his trial knight on the seventh floor be transferred."

  Song Zhuo frowned, and said, "How dare he hold our Hongmen banquet?"

   "It's hard to say." Song Wei said in a deep voice.

Song Zhuo smiled and said: "Father, you are just too frivolous. Song Gengchao is old, he just misses the past, and now it is understandable for him to want to see Song Que's old department. He will never see Song Que, after all, this world There is no place for Song Que anymore. If I were Song Que, I would not dare to go back to the first fortress, so Song Gengchao was eager to miss his son, and he could only see the old department. Seeing people miss the old, he wanted to get together , when he is old, he becomes sentimental."

   Song Wei heard it, although he didn't nod his head to express his agreement, but he also believed it in his heart. The tone of Song Gengchao just now was indeed full of nostalgia.

   Not long after, the spies gave the news that Song Gengchao just brought a few people into the study, and Song Gengchao arranged them into the guest room not long after they entered.

  Song Gengchao stayed in the study as usual and went out very late.

  During the entire Song Mansion, there were only a few servants, and the defense had indeed increased. There were about twenty people who only guarded the perimeter of the courtyard to prevent anyone from entering.

  But the defense of the trial knight level has not been mobilized.

   After getting this information, Song Zhuo, Song Wei, and his father and son began to count again.

  I am convinced that Song Gengchao was probably just having a meal. Then he called Song Gengchao again and agreed to accept the appointment.

   At the same time, he has been paying close attention to Song Gengchao.

   "No surprises, that ring will be yours tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Song Wei's face can be described as smug.

   After so many years of enduring, being able to win the first fortress, everything is worth it.

  Song Wei nodded, also thinking that it was a sure thing.

  No matter how powerful the Song Geng Dynasty is today, no matter how the situation in the world fluctuates, without a ring, one cannot become a lord.

   Open a new level, some special building permissions of the pyramid fortress, plus some information in the ring itself.

   These are also what Song Wei and his son are afraid of.

  They prepared for a long time and created such a big public opinion momentum, in order to take away the ring without bloodshed.

  …

  …

  The next day, the Song Mansion ushered in a long-lost bustle.

  The residents of the sixth floor are mostly high-level people in the system. Even if they are the Song family, they have close business contacts and relationships with the Song family.

  In the few months since Song Que left, it was the first time they had seen the Song family so lively.

  Although Song Gengchao has repeatedly stated that no gifts should be brought, it is just a normal gathering for a meal, and some people in the family get together to bond. But every household still brought gifts.

   This gift is also very particular.

  The family of the second eldest son and Song Gengchao's family are the most at odds. After all, the two brothers Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu are really idiots, and their sympathy has been ruined by the two brothers. The so-called coming to dinner is also coming to see Song Zhuo seize power.

   It was just a little unexpected, why didn't Song Zhuo hold this banquet at his home.

  The gift from the second child's family was also very weird. Song bought an exquisite pocket watch, which is quite valuable for collection.

   But at this time, the gift meant a little irony.

  The old three families have never stood in line. Knowing that Song Gengchao is good at cigarettes, they gave away a lot of cigarettes. But he didn't say much. There was no male in his family, and it was said that he was an infatuated species. After his wife died, he took his daughter to live with him and did not seek a marriage.

  But the third person, except for the topmost power, that is, the position of the fortress lord, is not in contention, but everything else, so the third person should be the most low-key, but he doesn't seem to be very low-key.

The fourth child was originally a popular contender for the lordship, and it was very common to give wine as a gift, but the child of the fourth family was still too young, only eleven years old, and it was impossible to be a lord. In the Battle of Pella Plains.

  The fifth child is also indisputable, but this is all on the surface, because the fifth child controls many business resources of the Song family, and these businesses have now begun to cooperate with the Song Wei family.

  And this time, the fifth child is the most "sincere" one, he - did not bring a gift. He took his ineffective son Song Ankang straight into the Song Mansion.

  Song Ankang is not an idiot, not a genius, but he has a good business background and knowledge, or knowledge in all aspects, is quite good. But it's just that the talent is not enough. It's really unreasonable to be a lord with three talents.

  So when he learned that the sixth son had been dormant for many years and had raised a talented son, he immediately turned against him.

  The sixth child, that is, Song Wei, gave the most and the most real gift—a group of trial knights.

   In the name of giving gifts, he brought the trial knight to the Song Mansion. In the eyes of others, it seemed like Cao Cao offered his sword.

   When Song Gengchao looked at the hundreds of judges of the knights outside the Song Mansion, his face was expressionless, and he just said lightly:

   "Lao Liu is a big hand."

   "Brother, you are joking. The management of the fort is ultimately based on the barrel of a gun. I will send you some guns. You should sit more securely in this position, right?"

   "Hehe, I'm already old. This world will be dominated by young people in the future. I think Xiao Zhuo is good. After ten years of Zangfeng, he became a blockbuster."

   "Oh, I can't do it. I've been pressed too hard these years, and I'm not used to raising my head."

   "That is suitable for training in high positions."

   "Heh, thanks to my brother."

   After some testing, Song Zhuo and Song Wei were very satisfied.

  The banquet in the pyramid, whether it is a family banquet or a state banquet, is all about drinking and eating some expensive fruits. After all, nutritious meals replace all staple foods and dishes.

  Although they are here to seize power today, the seats on the wine table are still in accordance with the rules of the past. There was only one exception, that was Song Zhuo who was supposed to be at another table, that is, the junior table, sat at the elder table. There are eight people at a table, and it is not crowded if only seven are made up.

   Song Gengchao's position, in today's terms, is still c.

   After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone began to drink.

  Eating and eating, first we talked about "appetizer".

  For example, who’s business is going wrong, and which country’s fortress has ordered a large number of trial knights.

  What did Li Wanye, the owner of the Ark Fortress, do recently.

  Or the second daughter of the old family, when she gets married, the atmosphere is joyful, it really looks like a family reunion and chatting, and it is not embarrassing to talk about it one by one.

  Until Song Wei said:

   "Brother, is your body feeling unwell recently?"

  As soon as these words came out, the whole banquet fell silent for a few seconds.

   Then Song Gengchao said: "It's okay. I'm really tired recently. I'm getting old, so I should retire."

  Song Wei smiled and said:

   "Where is the big brother, his body is still strong. And you are going to retire, and there is no one in our group of brothers who can do anything."

  The fifth child immediately said:

"Sixth brother's words are inappropriate, inappropriate. Eldest brother is only a few years older than us, and elder brother has retired. Even if we do this fortress lord, we will not be able to do it for a few years. Isn't the London fortress replaced by thirty years old? What about the lords on the left and right? We old guys, why don’t we step back and give the young people some chances earlier, what do you think, big brother?”

   Song Wei didn't speak, the second child snorted coldly, not talking to Song Gengchao, but understood the meaning of the fifth child, and felt that the fifth child was treating the sixth child as a dog and looked down on him.

  The third and fourth do not express their views.

  Song Gengchao laughed, and changed his stagnation, appearing bold and hearty:

"That's the reason. I figured it out. This ring has been worn for a long time, and it hurts my hand. It's time to give it to the younger generation. Our Song family is all surnamed Song. I will not hide it from everyone. The position of the lord is known to those who are capable." , as long as the Song family is dedicated to the Song family's good, even if it is not a descendant of my Song Geng Dynasty, I can give the position of lord. I just don't know, which one is suitable?"

  Song Zhuo and Song Wei glanced at each other, feeling that the game was going too smoothly, but he expected that the Song Mansion was already surrounded by more than a hundred of his trial knights, and today's changes were the general trend. Song Gengchao reckoned that he was aware of the situation.

  Song Gengchao really said:

   "The situation is stronger than others. I am old. Look at those outsiders shouting outside, telling me to abdicate, but everyone, who will pick me up after I retire? Who has this talent? Let me think about it for you?"

   "Brother, tell me, I also want to hear what your brother thinks." Song Wei laughed.

   "My nephew also wants to listen to my uncle's teachings." Song Zhuo said.

  Song Gengchao smiled and said:

   "Then I will rely on the old to sell the old, and say something from the bottom of my heart? Don't mind everyone, if you can listen, maybe today, I will hand over my ring."

  After Song Que's reputation fell to the bottom, in order to prevent the fortress lord's family from dominating again, Constantine handed over the matter of the ring to Li Wanye to announce, and at the same time refined the right to use the judge knight.

  The power of the fort lord is still dominant, at least for 90% of the forts, but not forts like Lincoln.

   Judgment Knight has even become the product of some private organizations.

   The First Bastion is an exception.

  It’s just that the ring can open a higher level, and there are many things that can be done. Only by controlling the ring can one obtain complete lord authority and mobilize all fortress resources. Therefore, the level of the ring must be passed.

   This is why Song Wei and Song Zhuo are always superficially polite.

  Song Gengchao knew his thoughts. If there were no things in his mind yesterday, he would probably be having a banquet at Song Wei's house today, not at his own.

  He paused, then said:

"My two daughters are women after all, and they will marry off in the future. In addition to their lack of talent, they can do some family business, but they can't be qualified for the position of lord. As for the second family... Qin Wenqin Wu talent is not bad ..."

  Everyone was not surprised to hear that Song Gengchao directly skipped Song Que. After all, the family was ugly, and the people in this room were not considered outsiders, but they all knew it well, so no one brought it up sensibly.

   It's just that the second child's complexion is very bad. Because Song Gengchao's comments were quite harsh:

   "There are two idiots, and the second child is neglected in discipline. The two brothers are neither fancy nor useful. It is a family business, and they cannot be entrusted with important positions, let alone the position of lord."

  Song Qinwen at the other table slapped the table angrily, but Song Zhuo stared at it, and the two brothers fell silent.

  As for the second son of the Song family, he blew his beard and stared angrily, but he had nothing to say, but if Song Qinwen and Song Qinwu had some virtues, he would not be so passive.

"We have nothing to say about the third child. The third child is an infatuated person, but love, it is enough to pass it unforgettable. After the siblings are gone, you will have to take care of yourself in the future. Your family can't cut off the incense. You still have to find someone to take care of." Let’s live together alone, there are three unfilial acts and no offspring is the biggest, you don’t want to go down anymore, you have no face to face your father, do you?”

"Brother, you are really serious! Why mention me? I know it myself. I don't fight for this Laoshizi fortress or anything, but no matter which one of you becomes the lord, I will have to help my daughter's business in the future. "After the third child finished speaking, he took a sip of wine. Today he also knows that the first fortress is about to change hands.

  But an infatuated person is always nostalgic, so he still doesn't offend his elder brother, and doesn't stand in line with his sixth son.

  Song Wei said: "That is natural."

   "Tsk tsk, there are some people who haven't become lords yet, so why do they call themselves the same as lords." The second child ran on.

   Song Wei didn't speak, just smiled.

  Song Gengchao cleared his throat and continued:

"As for the fourth family, the child is too young to be a lord, but when he grows up in the future, no matter what, he will be a great talent to assist the lord. This kid seems to like it. The fourth child must be cultivated well, don't raise it wild, but Don't be too gentle."

   "Brother is right." The fourth child responded so simply, and stopped talking.

"Old five... Ankang is a good seedling, good in every aspect, but to be honest, he is also mediocre in every aspect, and his talent is a little low. Hey, with a lord, he still can't do it after all. But in the future, the family's business, it is. Can take care of the bulk."

   "Hehehe..." Lao Wu smiled and didn't speak, but he didn't care about it in his heart.

  Finally the sixth child, Song Gengchao slowly looked at Song Zhuo who was supposed to be sitting at the junior table.

   "I was mistaken before. I thought that your child, the sixth son, was slower than Ankang, but now I realize that your child is really good."

   "Hehe, the elder brother is admirable, don't praise him, young people can't bear to be praised." Song Wei said.

  Song Gengchao shook his head and said:

   "For so many years, I haven't been praised much. Today I have to praise it. It is not easy for my Song family to give birth to a child full of talents. It is even more difficult to be suppressed for more than 20 years."

  Song Weixi smiled, and he had already guessed what the next words were.

   "Especially in the next few decades, he will have to be suppressed. If he doesn't praise him today, no one will praise him in the future."

   "Big brother said, my son has to... wait, what did you say? What do you mean?"
