章 27: Settled
"Brother, you don't need to kill anyone. I can help you to get chosen." Henry patted Peter on the shoulder.
"You?" Peter sized Henry up.
Unlike the other descendants of the Cheng family, Peter did not live under the blessings of his elders. He followed his father all the way and fought everywhere. The fact that he could easily, say that he had killed his two brothers proved his knowledge and experience.
Peter found that he couldn't see through the man in front of him. Like himself, he was grinning cheekily. But Peter was sure that he was more ruthless than himself. When he just said that he wanted to kill his two brothers, everyone, even those poisonous creatures, would be surprised, or praise or say something else.
But this person did not say anything!
There were two possibilities. Either he thought he was joking, or he was used to this kind of thing. Peter looked at Henry, who was also looking at Peter. At this moment, Peter was surprised to find that he actually felt fear in his heart.
Who on earth was he?
Peter asked himself. In just a few seconds, he had a feeling that he couldn't breathe
"Brother, I'll help you get this position, the future leader of the Cheng family." Henry said again. It was not until Henry spoke that Peter felt the oppressive breath that made it difficult for him to breathe, which made him let out a sigh of relief.
"Why would you help me?" Peter was confused.
"For my wife." Henry said his purpose straightforwardly. "When you take over the Cheng family, you must make it clear that you are on the same side as my wife. If anyone threaten my wife, I want you to do your best to eradicate him."
Peter lowered his head and said nothing. He was deep in thought.
"Think about it carefully. If you follow your own method, you can only gamble. If you win, you win. If you lose, you should know the result better than me. What do you think?" Henry picked up the bottle and poured the wine for Peter. Then he picked up another glass of wine and waited for Peter's answer. Peter was silent for ten seconds. Ten seconds later, he looked up, picked up the glass on the table and touched the glass in Henry's hand.
The glass made a crisp sound.
"Nice working with you." Peter smiled at Henry
"Of course." Henry raised his head and drank the wine.
Richard's mother sat on the table with her arms crossed and her face full of dissatisfaction.
"Sylvia, you are representing the Lin family, so you just took something small for Mr. Cheng?" Richard also snorted. "That's right. It's really a shame to our Lin family. I think you, the president of Lin's Group, should stop being a president. You can't do anything!"
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the glass fell to the ground and smashed.
Henry looked at Richard with empty hands. Richard, who was originally aggressive, immediately dared not speak. Chaning chuckled when he saw this scene. Henry stood up and looked at Richard unhappily.
"Who said that what we gave to Mr. Cheng, Open your dog eyes and look at it carefully!"
In the main house, the table where Mr. Cheng was sitting was whispering. The three students of Old Master Cheng also expressed their opinions. They wanted to see which grandson was more suitable to take charge of the Cheng family.
As for Peter, he was directly ignored by the three of them.
"I think Paul is a good kid. Teacher, I've heard a little about this wild ginseng. It is 40 years old. There are so many people who want to get it, but Paul got it. Not to mention how many people it takes, it takes a lot of energy to get it. We can't just look at the ability and forget the word filial piety."
The person who spoke was the head of the officials in Ning Province, John Xiao.
"I think Simon is better." Will Ning, the head of the Ning Province military, sale, "In the whole of China, only a few people can be accepted as students by Master Hou because his requirements are too high for ordinary people. Simon is talented and willing to work hard. It's very good."
"What about you? What do you think?' Harry did not express his opinion, but asked his other student, Victor Du, the tycoon of the business circle in Ning Province.
Victor Du was a middle aged man who looked very steady. He looked ordinary. He smiled bitterly and said, Teacher, the choice of these two children will only be military or political. It is impossible they would come to me.
Victor was telling the truth. No matter how rich a merchant was, he was still a blank piece of paper in front of power.
"Just say your opinion". Harry picked up his teacup, blew on it gently and took a sip.
"I think Paul is more outstanding. This child has a good intention, so he knows it well". Victor said.
Harry Cheng nodded and took a deep breath.
"Teacher, have you made your decision?" Will Ning asked.
"Yes" Harry replied.
Although they whispered and their voices were not loud, everyone here knew what they were talking about. Now, judging from the appearance of Mr. Cheng, it was obvious that he was going to make a statement, which made everyone nervous. Just now, many of them had already stood in line.
Paul and Simon sat on the same table. At this time, their nervous palms were sweating. The following decision would affect their lives.
Under the gaze of many people, Harry gradually looked at Simon. At this moment, Simon's heart beat faster and his eyes were full of joy.
But the sigh of Harry made Simon's heart, which was about to fly out, break.
Harry's gaze finally fell on Paul.
"It's done! It's done!" On the table of the Lin family, Richard let out a hoarse roar, which contained a kind of release that was about to break free.
Richard's mother also showed a proud look on her face and said rudely, "Sylvia, let's settle our previous accounts today."
Chaning, on the other hand, looked indifferent.
Peter looked at the easternmost table with a puzzled face. Henry was slowly walking over. He really wanted to know what this person could do to make him be selected today
Paul was full of excitement because he knew that from now on, his fate would be completely changed. In this Ning Province, his name, Paul Cheng, would be remembered by all the upper class people!
"Paul" Harry said in an old and dignified voice.
"Grandpa." Paul quickly got up and lowered his head.
"Sit down." Harry made a gesture of being low.
After Paul sat down, he continued, "Paul, I have discussed with my three students. In our Cheng family, you are more talented. Your brother is still young and is still in school. It is not suitable for him to come out. It's time for you to get married"
At this point, almost everyone understood the result of this selection. Paul would become the leader of the Cheng family for decades in the future!.
