I really want to be a cook

He is not a fool, his father's death is too strange, it is absolutely impossible to be an accident.

But his father had already been buried in the coffin, if he didn't want to bear the name of unfilial piety, and if he was not fully sure, it would be impossible for him to open a museum for an autopsy.

However, the assistant and the doctor who were in charge of collecting his father's body before acted as if the death of the Patriarch was just an accident.

But their notebooks recording the content of their work were lost for no reason.

Not only that, but his father's food and living records were also reduced to ashes because of the previous fire.

All of this seemed to tell him that this was a conspiracy.

But he had no evidence.

And after Shangguan Tianjun truly succeeded to the position of Patriarch, he would have no possibility to find out the truth.

He had to take a gamble.

"Well."

Jiang Ping patted Shangguan Tianbao on the shoulder and comforted him:

"For the sake of your pain now, let's wait until tomorrow to calculate the extra money."

Shangguan Tianbao: "..."

At this time you say this, are you still human? !

Oh, it's Jiang Ping, then there's no problem.

However, being interrupted by Jiang Ping, his anger quickly dissipated and he regained his sobriety.

"Don't look at me like that, favors belong to favors, and the matter of adding money must not be forgotten. This is the principle, and this time I took a big risk to help you."

Jiang Ping said with a reassuring look:

"Think about it, if you fail, you will be gone, or you won't owe anything."

Shangguan Tianbao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "No matter what, I have to thank you, big brother. Recognizing you as big brother is the most correct thing I did."

Although he is three years older than Jiang Ping.

Although he was the only one who kowtowed to heaven and earth.

But he knew even more that for Jiang Ping, if he was asked to help, there was no difference between three things and ten things.

After all, according to Jiang Ping's shamelessness, he can definitely divide one thing into ten parts, for example, one tenth of a thing.

"Ann, for the sake of your foresight, I won't tease you today, go have a good rest.

We still have a tough battle to fight, so we need to keep our spirits up.

Also, I hope that Second Young Master can give us enough time. "

Jiang Ping picked up the teacup and drank the cool tea, looking like a wise man planning.

Shangguan Tianbao thought that his big brother really had some kind of unparalleled plan, and his heart suddenly became more stable, and he also felt tired.

"Then, I'll go to bed first."

Shangguan Tianbao bowed to Jiang Ping again, then exited the courtyard and left in a hurry.

Behind him, there was an old man in gray, and a group of shadows hiding in the dark, everyone exuded a dangerous aura.

Obviously, Shangguan Tianbao also knew that his own safety was the most important thing, and he didn't care what was exposed.

……

Shangguan Tianjun moved faster than Jiang Ping thought.

three days later.

The Council of Presbyterians was held hastily.

Shangguan family hall.

on the first place.

Middle-aged and elderly men who did not understand martial arts gathered together, a total of seven people.

There is also a female elder, a beautiful middle-aged woman with a frosty face, sitting alone on one side, looking a little weak.

There are a total of eight of them, collectively known as the Eight Gods of Wealth of the Shangguan family.

According to the eight directions, the Shangguan family divided the whole world into eight regions. Each region has an elder position. Each of them has a huge financial system and is responsible for the financial operation of the Shangguan family.

In addition, there are eight deep-breathing martial arts masters under them. They sit quietly with their eyes closed, as if they are a bit out of the way.

They are also the elders of the Shangguan family, which is another impression that outsiders have of the Shangguan family, that they are arrogant.

These eight people are called the Eight King Kongs of the Money Gang by outsiders.

Each of them is a grand master of martial arts and a descendant of the Shangguan family, a genius selected from the huge collateral branch children, and is responsible for the military protection of the Shangguan family.

They and the Eight Gods of Wealth, one civil and one military, supervise and manage each other.

However, according to the rules of the Shangguan family, it is natural that civil affairs are above military affairs, so in the matter of choosing an heir, their right to speak is obviously not as high as that of the other eight.

And their opinions are just a reference. For example, when the opinions of the above eight people are in half, they need to vote again.

However, the Shangguan family has been passed down for so many years, and there has never been a time when they need the eight kings to vote.

Therefore, they are all very calm, looking like they have nothing to do with the world and have nothing to do with themselves.

Apart from these 16 people, the entire family hall has been surrounded by countless masters, and there are many great martial arts masters among them.

The number of grand masters who guarded them on the bright side already exceeded double digits.

As for the secret ones, it will naturally not be lower than this amount.

And they are just the power on the island, and the entire Treasure Island is just a part of the entire Shangguan family.

It is conceivable how terrifying the strength of the entire Shangguan family is.

It's no wonder that the Shangguan family can occupy the title of the world's number one God of Wealth, the so-called uncrowned king who can compete with the devil, not only because they are rich, but also because their strength is worthy of this title.

Boom!

As a big gong hanging in the clan hall was struck by a red cloth mallet, the entire clan hall fell silent.

This big bronze gong is said to have been left by the first generation of Shangguan Patriarch.

It was the first gong that he started from scratch and opened for business. Later, it was forged by an expert and hung here, becoming one of the symbols of the Shangguan family.

Every time it rings, it means that the Shangguan family is saying goodbye to the old and starting the new, which means that it is time for the change of the head of the family.

At the gate, everyone is watching.

A tall, steady, dignified middle-aged man walked in. Behind him, there were two attendants, one on the left and one on the right, who were also masters.

He is Shangguan Tianyi, the eldest son of the Shangguan family.

It's just that because he is the eldest son of a concubine, the attention he receives is obviously not as important as Shangguan Tianjun.

He is also the second seed who originally inherited the position of the head of the Shangguan family.

But at this moment, the old and the young are in order, so he is the first to enter the door.

After he entered the door, he bowed his hands to the elders and then found his seat and sat down.

Then the second place is Shangguan Tianjun.

He is still personable, with a gentle temperament, and his brilliance is even better than that of the previous eldest son.

He only brought one guard with him, and after greeting everyone, he also sat in his seat.

The third guy is also handsome, but his footsteps are a little sloppy, and the corners of his eyes are a little dark. He looks like he has been exercising too much at night.

But still a good skin.

He is Shangguan Tianxiu, the third young master of the Shangguan family.

Different from the previous two, behind him is a mature and beautiful woman.

He sat down loosely after seeing the ceremony, causing many people who were secretly paying attention to frown, and directly ruled him out of the position of heir.

The fourth place is naturally Shangguan Tianbao.

He straightened his skirt outside the door to make his expression more natural, and then walked in with Jiang Ping and the old man in gray.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As the four heirs walked into the clan hall, the many guards who originally guarded the clan hall also retreated, and the gate of the clan hall closed without wind.

An absolutely safe and closed space has been born since then.

Well, it's just useless.

This is Treasure Island, the absolute domain of the Shangguan family, it would be ridiculous if the enemy touched it.

From Jiang Ping's point of view, the group of masters outside was just like the beautiful models invited at the auto show.

Good-looking is good-looking, and the atmosphere is also atmospheric, but it is useless.

Jiang Ping glanced across the audience, taking in everyone's expressions.

Most people don't care. For them, no matter who is the head of the family, everyone's life is still the same.

Only those elders who have been deeply involved with the heirs will show a few traces of different emotions.

For example, the father-in-law of the eldest son Shangguan Tianyi is an elder among the eight gods of wealth, and the uncle of the second youngest Shangguan Tianjun is also one of the elders.

The third young master, Shangguan Tianxiu, has the weakest background, and the eight gods of wealth here have nothing to do with him.

The aunt of Shangguan Tianbao is the only female elder among the eight gods of wealth.

No wonder.

In a big family like the Shangguan family, in order to deepen the relationship and relationship with each other, and not to let the blood flow out, the outstanding children are almost digested internally.

From Jiang Ping's point of view, these few sons of the Shangguan family, except for the eldest son from a concubine, are almost all the crystallization of marriages between close relatives.

According to scientific research, the chances of being a genius or an idiot in the children of close relatives are half and half, and the chances of various genetic diseases are greatly increased, except for ordinary people who are mediocre.

Of course, this is a world where martial arts are flourishing, so we can't talk about science in everything.

But generally speaking, these young masters were not bad luck and did not become fools.

Sit at the top.

A gray-haired, hale and hearty male elder stood up, coughed a few times, and attracted everyone's attention:

"Due to the unfortunate death of the Patriarch, this clan meeting will be temporarily presided over by the old man."

"We don't need to talk nonsense, this clan meeting is to choose the next generation of successors of our Shangguan family, the future head of the family.

And due to the death of the old Patriarch, the heir will immediately become the new Patriarch of the Shangguan family the moment he becomes the heir.

Do you have any comments? "

The old elder looked at everyone.

Everyone didn't speak, just shook their heads slightly, expressing that they had no opinion.

The old elder nodded and continued:

"Although it's an old tune, rules are rules, and the old man has to read out the successor selection procedure again.

According to the consistent rules passed down from the Shangguan family, the one with the highest score wins.

The Patriarch and the Council of Elders will give scores to the four heirs based on their abilities in terms of business ability, strategic vision, power management, and networking.

Among them, the head of the family has ten points, and each elder has one point.

That is to say, the head of the family can give points to multiple heirs, but the elders can only give points to one heir.

The person with the highest score in the final calculation will be the new head of the Shangguan family.

Do you have any comments? "

According to this scoring system, whoever the Patriarch wants to choose as the future heir is a certainty.

This is why Shangguan Tianbao was so anxious to find Jiang Ping.

As long as Jiang Ping gets his father's approval, his father's hesitant attitude can be reversed and he can support him instead.

Otherwise, Shangguan Tianjun, who has been the first successor for so many years, has already won over most of the neutral elders. In such a short period of time, he can't win at all.
