The old house of the Ye family in Anrong City.
On a French plane tree in the center of the house, a yellow leaf fell, swirled a few times in the wind, and finally fell on the windowsill of Ye Shiqing's study.
"It's summer, why are the leaves yellow" Ye Shiqing flicked the leaf with his finger, and suddenly the leaf slipped off the windowsill and flew up again.
Looking at this leaf, Ye Shiqing suddenly felt very old and tired, so he picked up the phone in the study and sighed: "Shiguang, start the retreat plan, no, the wind is not right, I have been an official for decades, can't I feel it." ” After hanging up the phone, Ye Shiqing quickly picked up the microphone again, and then said: "Zhong Kai, inform the family descendants that the family meeting will be held in half an hour, which is a matter of life and death for the family, and all those who are qualified to participate in the clan meeting must be present."
Half an hour later, Ye Shiqing, dressed in a Mao suit, appeared in the family conference room.
In this large conference room, there were more than 20 people sitting in total, all of whom were descendants of the Ye family, and all of them served as important officials in the military and political system of Binh Chuan Province, or were the CEOs of many large companies in Binh Chuan Province.
These two dozen people are the mainstay of the Ye family, and at this time, Ye Shiqing urgently summoned them, just because Ye Shiqing knew that the Ye family had reached the critical point of life and death.
"Old man, the situation shouldn't be so bad," a person sitting on Ye Shiqing's right asked.
This person's name is Ye Zhongkai, and he is the second-generation leader of the Ye family after Ye Shiqing, and currently serves as the executive vice governor of Pingchuan Province, a very powerful position.
If it weren't for the life-and-death situation, Ye Zhongkai would not usually come to the clan meeting, after all, in his position, there was too much usual work.
Today, Ye Shiqing told Ye Zhongkai that the Ye family had reached the point of life and death, but Ye Zhongkai didn't think so.
"What do you think," Ye Shiqing asked Ye Zhongkai rhetorically.
"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, and it is not yet at the point of life and death, at least, there is no need to start the retreat plan" Ye Zhongkai said his thoughts, and then analyzed it again, "At present, with the officials of our Ye family, if they join forces, they can completely compete with Xu Shiping in the provincial party committee, and if he wants to move me, I'm afraid it won't work."
If he wants to introduce measures that are unfavorable to our Ye family, I'm afraid he can't do it."
Ye Zhongkai's confidence is so strong because the Ye family's influence in Pingchuan Province is deep-rooted, and among the Standing Committee members of Pingchuan Province alone, there are several people who are inextricably linked with the Ye family, including the governor of Pingchuan Province.
Therefore, Ye Zhongkai has the confidence to fight against Xu Shiping.
"That's right.
Even if Xu Shiping is determined to oppose us, can he still meddle in the affairs of the military" Another person nodded and agreed, this person is Ye Guangwei, a lieutenant general of the Pingchuan Military Region, and one of the current leaders of the Ye family in the military system.
The Ye family also had an officer who was awarded a rear admiral, but not in Binh Chuan Province, but in the navy.
"So, you all think that this time Xu Shiping is just bluffing and putting on a show," Ye Shiqing sighed, "You two, you have been officials for so many years, you can't imagine that you can't see Xu Shiping's methods clearly."
Today, Xu Shiping opened the way with a few little minions of our Ye family, you think he is just taking the opportunity to make trouble, and wants our Ye family to compromise and give him more power."
"Isn't it?"
said Ye Zhongkai.
"Of course not" Ye Shiqing snorted coldly, "Xu Shiping is different from the previous secretaries, this person looks upright and peaceful, but in fact he is a radical figure, he has been serving in Pingchuan Province all these years, and he has been forbearing, and now he has finally found an opportunity, do you think he will endure it." ” "Old man, what do you mean is Xu Shiping, this guy, he actually wants to uproot our Ye family's power in Pingchuan Province" Ye Zhongkai couldn't help but be moved, he couldn't even believe it, "It's impossible that Xu Shiping's appetite can't be so big, how can he have the ability to eat all of our Ye family, can he eat it?"
"That's it, beware of supporting him to death" Ye Guangwei snorted coldly, "If I really provoke Lao Tzu, I will directly mobilize the troops and destroy Ye Shiqing" "What's the point of stupidly saying these vindictive words" Ye Shiqing snorted coldly at Ye Guangwei, "The reason why the Ye family has fallen to this point is because there are too many people who are easy to work and stupid, you Xu Shiping are easy to deal with, thinking that Xu Shiping is just an outsider, so he doesn't dare to touch us It's so naïve to think about today's public trial, I don't know how many people are watching our Ye family's jokes, and you carefully feel the attitude of those people around you towards us, is it not the same as before?"
Hearing Ye Shiqing's words, everyone present subconsciously thought about the attitude of the people around them towards them.
In the past, almost all the people around him spared no effort to stammer, curry favor and even flatter, because these people were afraid of the power of the Ye family, and they all believed that the Ye family was the master of Pingchuan Province; And now, these people who used to flatter the Ye family have changed their attitude towards the Ye family, and they have begun to stay away from the Ye family, and they are even ready to be wall grass.
Everyone knows that Ye Shiqing's words are right, and now the "wind direction" has changed.
"The autumn wind has not moved the cicada, and the spring river plumbing duck is prophetic.
These people have been in the officialdom for decades, and they can feel the change in the situation the most, so you should be aware of the sudden change in the situation from the attitude of the people around you towards you.
Putting that aside for now, let's start the family's retreat plan.
Ye Shiqing said.
"Old man, do we really want to start the retreat plan" Ye Zhongkai said extremely unwillingly, "Our Ye family has been working hard for decades before we have changed from a gangster to the first family in Pingchuan Province, and we already have the hope of becoming a member of those super families in Huaxia, so let's just give up?"
Although the descendants of the Ye family have been corrupted and degenerate, not all family members are without ambition.
For example, this Ye Zhongkai and Ye Guangwei and others, like Ye Shiqing, are all ambitious people.
And the great ambition in their hearts is to turn the Ye family into a super family in Huaxia, once they become a member of the super family, they can have many unimaginable status and privileges, and at that time, the status was as stable as Mount Tai, and almost no one dared to shake its roots.
Ye Shiqing has always adhered to the last wish of his ancestors, wanting to develop the Ye family into one of those super families, so that the descendants of the Ye family can sit back and relax, and it can be regarded as a glorious ancestor.
However, he never dreamed that he had worked hard all his life, and he saw that there was hope for the Ye family to become a member of the super family, but he didn't expect it to fall short:
