Chapter 1809 The New Ruler

1809

"Are you... Duanmu Ci, who is second on the list of supreme martial arts masters in China?" Zhao Taixun asked as he stood aside, watching Xu Taiping chatting with Duanmu Ci for a long time.

"It's me." Duanmu Ci nodded.

"I have long admired my great name!" Zhao Taixun sighed.

"I have also admired your name for a long time." Duanmu Ci said with a smile.

"Go in first! Find a seat. I have arranged some seats for the people from the Chinese Martial Arts Association. You can just sit with their group!" Xu Taiping said.

"good!"

After sending Duanmuci to the middle courtyard, Zhao Taixun sighed, "Taiping, the people you are dating now are really beyond my expectation."

"No, now that my identity is there, the people I associate with are naturally high-end!" Xu Taiping said proudly.

"This Duanmu Ci is not someone that high-end people can associate with. He is very strong, very strong, but he lives in seclusion in a small county and rarely appears in the world. It is rare that you have friendship with him. ." Zhao Taixun said.

"Fortunately, he actually has some connections with the Zhao family." Xu Taiping said.

"Oh? What's the origin?" Zhao Taixun asked.

"I'll tell you later! Guests are coming." Xu Taiping said.

"good!"

In the next nearly an hour, many people came. First of all, at least dozens of people came from the Chinese Martial Arts Association. After all, Xu Taiping is the president of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. Everyone must give him face. In the big sect, except for Except for Wudang and Emei, basically the heads of all the sects came, which was very impressive in front of Xu Taiping. In addition, many committee members also came. People from the Chinese Martial Arts Association alone accounted for the total number of people watching this ceremony. Close to one third.

In addition to the Chinese Martial Arts Association, Shashao, as a representative of relevant national departments, also came with several men. Then Chu Jingfeng and even Secretary Zhang of Kailiu Province also came to the Zhao family. In addition, some of the Ministry of Commerce in the capital officials also came to the Zhao family. After all, Xu Taiping is one of the top ten economic figures of the year. There will still be a lot of cooperation between Pacific Group and the Ministry of Commerce in the future.

Xu Taiping invited a total of about 150 people. Not to mention all of them came, there were some people who Xu Taiping did not invite, but people with sufficient status took the initiative to come to Zhao's house. Xu Taiping naturally welcomed these people very much. .

Different from the events held by the Zhao family in previous years, this time for Xu Taiping's succession ceremony, Xu Taiping did not conduct security checks at the door. In Xu Taiping's view, security checks are only required if you are not confident enough in your own strength. In the past, the Zhao family did not conduct security checks. The security check may seem very impressive, but it actually gives people a feeling of superiority. This feeling is not good for those who undergo the security check. After all, everyone is a person with status, so this time there is no Security check is just someone checking your identity at the door.

Part of the security for this ceremony was provided by the Zhao family's guards, and the other part was handed over to the South China Tigers. Logically speaking, the South China Tigers cannot be used for this kind of thing. However, who let Xu Taiping Is he an honorary captain? In addition, many officials came this time, so it was reasonable for the South China Tigers to be responsible for security.

In the middle courtyard, nine fifty.

There are not many people in the entire middle courtyard. This middle courtyard can accommodate thousands of people, so the Zhao family has arranged thousands of seats. But this time, only more than a hundred people came, and only one-eighth of the seats were occupied. Sitting there, it looks very empty.

Many Zhao family members stood around, looking at this scene and feeling aggrieved.

More than a year ago, it was also here that Mr. Zhao had his birthday, and all the seats were packed. A year later, Xu Taiping succeeded as the head of the Zhao family, and almost no one was invited by the Zhao family. The difference was huge.

This year was the most difficult year for the Zhao family. Many people left the Zhao family, and many friends of the Zhao family stopped communicating with the Zhao family.

In the capital, the Zhao family is like a virus, and many people are afraid to avoid it.

Of course, there are also some people who like the Zhao family and are willing to surround the Zhao family. These people are like vampires, sucking the blood from the indulgent and depraved children of the Zhao family.

The morning sun was dazzling, but the hearts of all Zhao family members were cold.

"Remember this scene well." Zhao Bigan stood next to several young stewards of the Zhao family and said seriously, "This is the most shameful scene for our Zhao family in more than a hundred years. The succession ceremony of our family head has gone out. Out of more than a thousand invitations, only more than a hundred people came, and most of these more than a hundred people were invited by the family head himself. No family in this world can be strong forever. When we When we fall into a trough, we should never give up the idea of ​​​​going up. We must believe that under the leadership of our master, we will definitely be able to get back to the top!"

Many of those in charge did not know Zhao Bigan, but they felt that Zhao Bigan's words spoke to their hearts.

Everyone clenched their fists. Before, everyone still had some doubts about Xu Taiping's succession as head of the family. But now, Zhao Bigan's words made them understand that only by following Xu Taiping's footsteps can the Zhao family return to the throne. peak.

ten o'clock.

The succession ceremony started on time.

As the eldest son of Xu Taiping's generation, Zhao Taiheng presided over the entire succession ceremony.

The ceremony process was very cumbersome and complicated, and every process had to be carried out, which was completely different from when Zhao Taiji took over.

The entire middle courtyard to the ancestral house is solemn.

Whether it was the Zhao family or those who came to watch the ceremony, they could all feel the oppressive atmosphere in the Zhao family.

The bell rang five times, which meant that Xu Taiping was the fifth head of the Zhao family in a century.

Xu Taiping, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, knelt down and kowtowed three times in front of the ancestors of the Zhao family, and wrote his name with a calligraphy brush in the column of the head of the Zhao family's family tree.

When Xu Taiping held the family tree, faced the Zhao family ancestors on the photo wall, and read the Zhao family rules aloud, all the Zhao family members could not control the tears pouring from their eyes.

The Zhao family, a family that was once so powerful, finally ushered in a new ruler when he was at his lowest.

This ruler had been expelled by the Zhao family. No one could have imagined that he would be willing to return to the Zhao family when the Zhao family was at its most depressed and at its peak.

As long as he is a sane person, he will definitely understand that Xu Taiping's return to the Zhao family this time is a complete loss-making business.

But Xu Taiping came back.

It was difficult for everyone to understand why Xu Taiping came back, and Xu Taiping did not give any explanation.

He just came back and came to the Zhao family as a savior.

And can he rescue the Zhao family from the precarious situation?

Many people remain skeptical.

You know, the powerful Zhao family has been suppressed and unable to raise its head under the siege of countless world-class elites. Xu Taiping, as the newly promoted richest man in China, can he really withstand such great pressure?

The succession ceremony ended under everyone's heavy and suspicious eyes.

Xu Taiping didn't say anything exciting. He just participated in the succession ceremony calmly and then announced the first order as the head of the Zhao family.

The original head of the Zhao family, Zhao Taiji, violated the Zhao family's family rules. After today's ceremony, he will be handed over to the police and Zhao Taiji will be tried according to law.

This order surprised many people, because the Zhao family has always insisted on not publicizing the family scandal. If there is a scandal in the family, it is handled internally by the family. It is really difficult to hand over the original head of the family to the police like this time. That never happened.

After Xu Taiping announced the order, Zhao Taiji was immediately sent out of the Zhao family. At the same time, the Beijing police, who had been waiting at the door of the Zhao family for a long time, also accepted Zhao Taiji from the Zhao family.

In order to ensure that the escort could go smoothly, the Beijing police mobilized hundreds of police officers. At the same time, martial law measures were implemented on the roads during the entire escort process.

In the end, Zhao Taiji was successfully escorted to the Beijing Police Station. What awaits him will inevitably be severe punishment by law.

After Zhao Taiji was taken away, Xu Taiping announced the second order. He dismissed Zhao Yinglong as the general housekeeper and handed him over to the Zhao Family Internal Affairs Office for investigation. At the same time, Xu Taiping appointed a new general housekeeper. The chief butler was also the one who left the Zhao family that year. His name was Zhao Bigan!

Zhao Bigan returned to the Zhao family again after decades of leaving the Zhao family, and as soon as he returned to the Zhao family, he became the general housekeeper of the Zhao family. This should be regarded as the return of the king.

After the second order, Xu Taiping announced the third order. He announced the restoration of Zhao Xianglu's identity as a member of the Zhao family and the restoration of Zhao Xianglu's position as manager. As for Zhao Liwei, Xu Taiping directly handed it over to Zhao Bigan and Zhao Liwei. A person at this level does not need Xu Taiping to issue special orders for him.

After the three orders, the Zhao family's celebration luncheon officially began.

Because there were so few people, there were only about twenty tables on site, a dozen tables for guests, and a few tables for the Zhao family.

Xu Taiping sat at the head table for the first time, accepting the tributes from the Zhao family.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after the luncheon ended.

After Xu Taiping sent away all the guests, he closed the door of the Zhao family and, as the head of the Zhao family, announced the convening of the first Zhao family meeting.

This meeting lasted from two o'clock in the afternoon until late at night.

Many Zhao family members were actually very nervous at the beginning of the meeting because many people had indeed done things that violated family rules in recent times.

However, Xu Taiping did not punish anyone at the meeting. The first thing Xu Taiping said was that he would not hold anyone accountable for their faults in the past period, but he required that from today on, everyone must strictly abide by House rules.

Such a statement made many people feel relieved at the beginning of the meeting and expressed their recognition of Xu Taiping's rule.

Xu Taiping was able to win over the hearts and minds of many Zhao family members with just one sentence, and Xu Taiping was very familiar with this act of buying people's hearts.

(Writing this, I feel a little emotional. Xu Taiping finally became the new head of the Zhao family. This was planned a long time ago. Xu Taiping returned to the Zhao family as a savior. In the future, more people will greet him. Challenge... As for what will happen to the Zhao family in the future, please stay tuned.)
