"Mr. Li, thank you," Li Lao and Li En Zhong said again to Li Xuan in the first-class cabin of the plane returning to Hangzhou.
With the recovery of Xi Huai Ren, the upcoming election would naturally proceed without any issues. As long as Xi Huai Ren continued to serve as the supreme commander of China, the current troubles would be resolved. It could be said that Li Xuan's intervention had changed the outcome of the competition between the Xi and Qian families.
"Mr. Li, you have already expressed your gratitude countless times. With Elder Niu and Brother Niu staying in the capital, and given that Elder Xi is not announcing his recovery, they must be preparing for a series of subsequent actions," Li Xuan waved his hand and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Mr. Li is indeed insightful. How do you view China's power structure, Mr. Li?" Elder Li nodded and then asked Li Xuan.
The first-class cabin of the plane returning to Hangzhou had been chartered by Li En Zhong, indicating that their discussion would not be overheard by anyone with ill intentions.
"China is divided into eight economic zones, from southeast to northwest. In terms of military and technology, it leads the world. As for China's power structure, I don't know much about it," Li Xuan shook his head, recalling his memories.
"It is enough that Mr. Li knows that China is divided into eight economic zones. Currently, four of these major zones are under the control of the old leader. The power of the northern, northwestern, and western zones is held by that person from the Qian family," Elder Li said with a smile. "Besides these, the head of the eastern zone remains neutral and has not yet declared his stance. This is the current situation, and it is why the old leader has not announced his health condition yet."
"Elder Xi's plan is to confirm the final decisions of the eight zone leaders?" Li Xuan suddenly understood. After understanding, Li Xuan also sighed. Even on the vast continent or other continents, the leaders of great powers would likely act similarly after experiencing changes. Those with divided loyalties would naturally need to be purged at such a time.
"Mr. Li is sharp," Elder Li nodded with a smile.
Li Xuan, however, smiled wryly and shook his head. Wherever there are people, there is a Jianghu (martial world). This saying is always true, no matter when or where.
...
Bao Xiu Garden, Zhuo Residence.
"Brother Qian, rest assured. Tomorrow is the deadline. Once Li De Group collapses, all enterprises in Hangzhou will follow the Qian family's lead!" Zhuo Wei laughed heartily after hanging up the phone.
Zhuo Xian, sitting beside him, looked delighted and asked, "Father, is there good news?"
"Half of the leaders of the eight major zones have already agreed to support that person from the Qian family for the position. Given the current situation, it is highly probable that the old leader, being gravely ill, will not be able to continue, and that person from the Qian family's succession is all but certain. Our Zhuo family's good days are finally coming!" Zhuo Wei was in a very good mood and replied with a smile.
"Father indeed has foresight! Tomorrow is the final day for Li De Group's acquisition. Once our Zhuo family controls Hangzhou's economic pillar, the person from the Qian family will definitely not forget us Zhuo family."
"However, Father, I heard that Li En Zhong brought people to receive that young man named Li Xuan. Does that Li Xuan have some background?" Zhuo Xian asked excitedly, but with a hint of worry.
"There is no need to worry about this. Li Xuan somehow cured Li Guang Yuan, Li En Zhong's father. Li En Zhong's actions are likely just to thank Li Xuan. If Li Xuan truly had a significant background, would he have endured humiliation at Li Wan Er's home for five years?" Zhuo Wei said mockingly. It was clear he had gathered some information about Li Xuan through certain means.
"I see. In that case, I am relieved," Zhuo Xian also breathed a sigh of relief, his smile growing more pronounced.
"Li Wan Er is indeed quite beautiful. If you like her, it's fine to have some fun. As for bringing her into the family, your father has better arrangements. Qian Ren's daughter will be arriving in Hangzhou soon. If you can win her heart, your future path will be much smoother. You don't need me to teach you what to do, do you?" Zhuo Wei pondered for a moment and then said.
"I understand, Father," Zhuo Xian nodded in response. Between the Qian family and Li Wan Er, Zhuo Xian would naturally choose the Qian family's daughter. Moreover, his father's words now also satisfied his personal desires. Although Li Wan Er was a woman Zhuo Xian greatly desired, she was a divorced woman. Compared to a colossal force like the Qian family, she was insignificant.
"Good. Remember it. Now, we just wait for tomorrow," Zhuo Wei nodded with satisfaction and said slowly.
Lake View Villa, Li Residence.
"Mr. Li, I need to handle some company matters. I hope you can forgive any negligence in the coming days," Li En Zhong said to Li Xuan after returning home.
"It's alright, go ahead," Li Xuan nodded. On the plane, Li En Zhong had mentioned the problems Li De Group was facing. Tomorrow was the deadline for the acquisition. Now, with Xi Huai Ren's recovery, the Li family naturally had a backbone. Li En Zhong needed to manage the company's operations. Business was like a battlefield, and Li En Zhong faced no easy task. The situation created by the Qian family was significant, otherwise, the Li family would not be so passive.
"Mr. Li, if there is anything you need, just tell the people in the household to do it," Elder Li said to Li Xuan after Li En Zhong's departure.
"Mr. Li, there's no need to be polite. I will ask if I need anything. You have had a long journey and should take care of your health," Li Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Good, then I will go and rest for a while," Elder Li nodded, clearly realizing that Li Xuan had something to do and did not wish to disclose it.
"Mm," Li Xuan nodded. After Elder Li got up and left, Li Xuan also stood up and walked towards the outside.
Century Fashion, First Floor.
"She left?" After hearing the receptionist's words, Li Xuan was slightly taken aback. In his memory, Li Wan Er had never left before the end of working hours. After a moment of thought, Li Xuan asked again, "Did something happen at home?"
"I'm sorry, sir. These are the chairman's private affairs, and we are not at liberty to disclose them," the receptionist replied, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry to have bothered you," Li Xuan nodded slightly, then pondered for a moment and turned to leave. However, the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
