However, though everyone was uncertain about Ye Fei's conditions, one thing was certain!
That was, Ye Fei's conditions were definitely not simple.
"Old woman, after today's grand birthday celebration, you'll be over a hundred years old. At such an advanced age, you still frequently get confused!"
"For example, yesterday you forgot you promised Bingbing and the others that you'd help them get fifty million back as startup capital."
"So, I was thinking, how about after today's birthday banquet, the position of Qin family head goes to the most capable person?"
Ye Fei looked at his Great-Grandmother and said.
And Ye Fei specifically emphasized the words "the most capable person."
Hiss!
As Ye Fei's voice fell, the entire venue erupted in an uproar!
Everyone's eyes widened, filled with shock and disbelief!
To be honest, everyone had been wondering what conditions Ye Fei would propose!
But, they never imagined it would be such a condition!
The most capable person!
This was a veiled statement, but the reality was a demand for abdication!
In plain terms, it was forcing the Great-Grandmother to step down!
Seeing Ye Fei's ambition, a group of people looked at him with astonishment and disbelief.
Not only the Great-Grandmother and her faction, but even Qin Bing and Qin Lan looked at Ye Fei in shock.
This... to be honest, their shock had reached an unparalleled level!
"You!"
It was better if Ye Fei hadn't spoken like this. The moment he did, the Great-Grandmother's expression drastically changed, and she immediately stood up.
"What's wrong? Why such a strong reaction from Great-Grandmother?"
Ye Fei looked at his Great-Grandmother and spoke with an innocent expression.
"Does Great-Grandmother mean she wants to continue for another twenty years?"
"Of course, if she continues for another twenty years, it proves that Great-Grandmother can live for decades more, which is a good thing."
"However, if that's the case, then the younger generation in the family will lose their opportunities for experience."
"Then, if one day Great-Grandmother falls, will others become useless? That's really hard to say."
Ye Fei's gaze fell on his Great-Grandmother, and he spoke without fear of offending her.
Swish swish! Swish swish!
It was better if the Great-Grandmother hadn't heard Ye Fei's words. The moment she heard them, her face became even more displeased.
"Xiao Fei, what you're saying does have some truth to it!"
A moment later, just when everyone thought the Great-Grandmother was about to erupt,
To everyone's surprise, she actually changed to a smiling face and affirmed Ye Fei's words!
Hiss!
The crowd at the scene immediately erupted in an uproar the moment the Great-Grandmother's voice fell!
Everyone's eyes widened, looking at the Great-Grandmother in shocked disbelief!
Or rather, they also turned their gaze to Ye Fei. What was happening?
Was it a deliberate act to put on a show for everyone?
Or did the Great-Grandmother also have her own plans?
At this moment, everyone's minds were racing, but there were no answers.
"Then, Xiao Fei, how do you propose we go about this 'most capable person' rule?"
The Great-Grandmother looked at Ye Fei and asked with a smile.
At this moment, looking at the Great-Grandmother's kind and amiable expression, anyone who didn't know would think she was a very benevolent elder!
However, Ye Fei's heart was filled with a cold sneer, knowing that this old woman was actually an old fox!
"Well, let me think about it first..."
Ye Fei naturally knew what the Great-Grandmother was scheming.
Therefore, Ye Fei didn't waste any more words and followed her lead.
Originally, Ye Fei didn't want to interfere so deeply!
However, as soon as he arrived here, Ye Fei realized... this old woman, the Great-Grandmother, hadn't changed at all!
Originally, Ye Fei thought this old woman had curbed her temper, but now it seemed Ye Fei had overthought it.
"How about we use the guests of honor from each family as the standard?"
After a moment, Ye Fei looked up at the Great-Grandmother and said.
"Using the guests of honor from each family as the standard? Great-Grandmother also had the same idea!"
The Great-Grandmother looked at Ye Fei and nodded, her smile becoming even brighter.
"Our Qin family has thirteen branches, and each branch is my pride, Great-Grandmother! Now your family has also returned!"
"And the banquet venue is divided into several areas. Each branch's guests should go to their respective areas."
"Thus, whoever's family has the wider network of connections will be the final winner, how about that?"
The Great-Grandmother looked at Ye Fei, then at the people present, and slowly spoke.
Swish swish! Swish swish!
As soon as the people present heard this, their expressions all changed!
The Great-Grandmother's words were very clear, and everyone naturally understood what she meant!
Thirteen branches!
Now it was time to compete based on their abilities and connections!
The moment they thought of this, everyone became excited.
After all, this was the future fate of the Qin family!
"Brother-in-law, are you crazy?"
However, at this moment, Qin Bing and Qin Lan's branch had very grim expressions.
They looked at Ye Fei and immediately spoke.
In their opinion, this was equivalent to automatically giving up their chances!
If it were in Longhai, perhaps with their current network, they might have some opportunities!
But here in Jiangdong... they had just returned, where would they find any guests!
Without any connections, they were no match for the other twelve branches.
"It's okay, you have brother-in-law here."
Ye Fei turned to look at Qin Bing and smiled as he said.
Qin Bing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed her words back.
Although Ye Fei said that, Qin Bing still didn't believe their branch could win!
But, since Ye Fei had already spoken, it was too late for them to back out now.
"Alas! Being able to return to the main family is already satisfying enough for me..."
At this moment, Old Master Qin spoke.
He sighed, taking the matter very lightly!
"Phoenix Group's President Peng has arrived!"
Just then, with the announcement of a servant, the first important figure finally made his appearance.
"Phoenix Group's President Peng?"
"President Peng from one of our top fifty companies in Jiangdong?"
"There's only one Phoenix Group in all of Jiangdong, and only one President Peng, who else could it be?"
When a group of people heard that President Peng had arrived, they immediately started shouting.
The entire venue was filled with murmuring discussions.
"President Peng is a guest of honor for our branch! President Peng, please come this way, please come this way!"
At this moment, seeing President Peng arrive, the second aunt's family immediately called out.
"Hongda Group's President Wang has arrived!"
Not long after President Peng's arrival, another influential figure arrived.
"Hongda Group! This is an even more powerful group than Phoenix Group!"
"My goodness, the Qin family is so lively today!"
Before the crowd's exclamations of surprise had even subsided, they were already exclaiming again.
Everyone widened their eyes and watched.
For each of the thirteen branches of the Qin family, the arrival of their guests made them look spirited.
Especially when their own guests of honor were of higher status than others, their faces would be beaming with joy.
And those families at a disadvantage immediately started making phone calls to "summon reinforcements"!
Yes, they were calling to summon people!
Originally, they weren't this anxious!
But now, since it concerned the position of the future family head, they naturally couldn't afford to be careless!
Time ticked by, and among the thirteen branches of the Qin family, except for Old Master Qin's branch, others had more or less welcomed quite a few people.
And they were continuously arriving.
As for Qin Bing and Qin Lan's side, their table was completely empty.
This situation made not only the onlookers but even Old Master Qin's family blush and feel unable to bear it.
However, even if they couldn't bear it, what could they do?
Alas!
Everyone in Old Master Qin's faction sighed, feeling extremely embarrassed and humiliated.
But, even as everyone looked at them with odd gazes, Ye Fei sat there calmly and composedly.
