Text Chapter 658: One Fallen Leaf Tells the World About Autumn

The old house of the Ye family in Anrong City.

From a French plane tree in the center of the courtyard, a yellow leaf fell, swirled several times in the wind, and finally landed on the window sill of Ye Shiqing's study.

"It's summer, why are the leaves turning yellow..."

Ye Shiqing flicked the leaf with his fingers, and suddenly the leaf fell from the window sill and began to fly again.

Looking at this leaf, Ye Shiqing suddenly felt very old and tired, so he picked up the phone in the study and sighed: "Shi Guang, start the retreat plan... But, the 'wind direction' is wrong, I After decades of service as an official, don’t you still feel it?”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shiqing quickly picked up the phone and said, "Zhong Kai, inform the direct family members that a family meeting will be held in half an hour. It is a matter of life and death for the family. Everyone who is qualified to participate in the clan meeting must be present!"

Half an hour later, Ye Shiqing, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, appeared in the family conference room.

There were more than twenty people sitting in this large conference room, all of whom were direct descendants of the Ye family, and they were all senior officials in the military and political system of Pingchuan Province or the CEOs of many large companies in Pingchuan Province. These twenty or so people are the mainstay of the Ye family. Ye Shiqing urgently summoned them at this time, just because Ye Shiqing knew that the Ye family had reached a critical point of life and death.

"Old man, the situation shouldn't be that bad, right?" A man sitting on Ye Shiqing's right asked.

This person's name is Ye Zhongkai. He is the second generation leader of the Ye family after Ye Shiqing. He currently serves as the executive deputy governor of Pingchuan Province, a very powerful position. If it weren't for a life-and-death situation, Ye Zhongkai would usually not come to a clan meeting. After all, in his position, he had too much normal work. Today, Ye Shiqing told Ye Zhongkai that the Ye family had reached a critical moment of life and death, but Ye Zhongkai didn't think so.

"What do you think?" Ye Shiqing asked Ye Zhongkai.

"Old man, I know that you are far-sighted and far-sighted. However, judging from the current situation, the foundation of our Ye family has not been shaken. It has not reached a critical moment of life and death, right? At least, there is no need to initiate an retreat plan, right?" Ye Zhongkai said. After analyzing his own thoughts, he said, "Currently, if our Ye family officials unite, they can compete with Xu Shiping in the provincial party committee. If he wants to touch me, I'm afraid that won't work. He wants to introduce I’m afraid measures that are detrimental to our Ye family won’t work either!”

The reason why Ye Zhongkai has such strong confidence is because the Ye family has deep-rooted influence in Pingchuan Province. Among the Standing Committee members of Pingchuan Province alone, there are several people who are inextricably linked to the Ye family, including those in Pingchuan Province. Province. Long. Therefore, Ye Zhongkai had the confidence to compete with Xu Shiping.

"That's right. Even if Xu Shiping is determined to go against us, can he still interfere in the affairs of the military?" Another person nodded in agreement. This person is Lieutenant General Ye Guangwei of the Pingchuan Military Region, and the Ye family is currently in the army. One of the leaders of the system. There is another officer in the Ye family who was awarded the rank of major general, but he is not in Pingchuan Province, but serves in the navy.

"So, you all think that Xu Shiping is just bluffing and showing off this time?" Ye Shiqing sighed, "You two have been officials for so many years, and you can't believe that you still can't see Xu Shiping's methods clearly. How many of our Ye family members did Xu Shiping use today? Let me clear the way, do you think he just took the opportunity to make trouble and wants our Ye family to compromise and give him more power?"

"Isn't it?" Ye Zhongkai said.

"Of course not!" Ye Shiqing snorted coldly, "Xu Shiping is different from the previous secretaries. This person looks fair and peaceful, but in fact he is a radical figure. In recent years, he has been in Pingchuan Province. He has been holding back since he was in office, but now he has finally found an opportunity, do you think he will still be able to hold on?"

"Old man, you mean... this guy Xu Shiping actually wants to uproot our Ye family's influence in Pingchuan Province!" Ye Zhongkai couldn't help but be moved. He couldn't even believe it, "Impossible! Xu Shiping's appetite is impossible. It's so big! How can he have the ability to eat all of our Ye family? Can he eat it? "

"That's right, be careful to hold him to death!" Ye Guangwei snorted coldly, "If you really offend me, I will directly mobilize the troops and kill Ye Shiqing!"

"Stupid! What's the point of saying these vindictive words!" Ye Shiqing snorted coldly at Ye Guangwei, "The reason why the Ye family has fallen to where it is today is because there are too many stupid people who are indolent and indolent! You Xu Shiping is easy to deal with. Do you think Xu Shiping is easy to deal with? You are just an outsider, but you don’t dare to touch us? This idea is so naive! I don’t know how many people are watching our Ye family’s jokes during today’s public trial, and you should carefully feel the attitude of those around you towards us. , is it no longer the same as before? Right? "

After hearing what Ye Shiqing said, everyone here subconsciously thought about the attitudes of the people around them towards them. In the past, almost all the people around me spared no effort to fawn over, please or even flatter. That was because these people were afraid of the power of the Ye family and believed that the Ye family was the master of Pingchuan Province; but now, these people who used to flatter the Ye family The attitude of the people towards the Ye family has changed. They have begun to stay away from the Ye family, and are even preparing to become mere wallflowers. Everyone knows that Ye Shiqing's words are correct, and now the "wind direction" has changed.

"The cicada is the first to wake up before the autumn wind moves, and the duck is the first to know when the spring river is warm. These people have been afraid of being touched in the officialdom for decades. They are the ones who can feel the changes in the situation best, so you should be aware of the situation from the attitude of the people around you towards you." Mutation. Let's forget about these for now and start the family's 'retreat plan' now." Ye Shiqing said.

"Old man, do we really want to start the retreat plan?" Ye Zhongkai said with great reluctance, "Our Ye family has worked hard for decades to transform from gangsters into the first family in Pingchuan Province. There is hope now. Do we just give up on becoming a member of those super families in China?"

Although the descendants of the Ye family have become corrupt, not all family members have no ambitions. For example, Ye Zhongkai, Ye Guangwei and others, like Ye Shiqing, are ambitious people. Their ambition is to turn the Ye family into a super family in China. Once they become a member of a super family, they will have many unimaginable statuses and privileges. At that time, their status was as stable as Mount Tai, and almost no one dared to shake its foundation. .

Ye Shiqing has always been adhering to the wishes of his ancestors and wanted to develop the Ye family into one of those super families so that future generations of the Ye family can sit back and relax and be regarded as a glorious ancestor. However, he never dreamed that after working hard all his life and seeing the hope of making the Ye family a member of a super family, he unexpectedly fell short!
