“Xiao Lin, I know about the matters of the talisman making society. I won’t let some people do as they please. You can rest assured about this.”
Wang Tianfeng’s eyes were hazy from the alcohol, but his thoughts were still very clear.
Lin Yi nodded slightly, meaning that he was about to tell the truth after drinking,”Then I’ll have to trouble third uncle. My intentions are clear. If the talisman making society and the Wang family work together, it’ll be beneficial for both sides. We can have deep cooperation, but the talisman making society is the Academy’s talisman making society, not the Wang family ‘s. This can not be changed.”
“Why are you still talking about the Academy’s banner with me? it’s clearly your talisman making society. Little Lin, you’re not honest.”
Tianfeng pointed at Lin Yi with a smile, getting straight to the point.”We have a common enemy now. If Wang Tianwen really takes the position, it won’t be good for either of us. So, we have to work together. Besides, we can be considered to have the same interests.”
“I don’t have any feelings for other people’s wives,” Lin Yi chuckled.
“Who knows? maybe we’ll discover a new world one day.”
Wang Tianfeng gave a smile that all men understood, and then he saw that Tang Yun’s gaze towards Lin Yi wasn’t right, there was an obvious inquiry and suspicion in it.
“……”
Lin Yi didn’t know what to say-things like this only made things worse. He changed the subject.”Third uncle, why don’t you tell me about your plan?”
Wang Tianfeng finally had the appearance of an elder. He exhaled a breath that reeked of alcohol.”Now, everyone knows that Wang Tianwen and I are the two most likely popular candidates. As far as I know, there are even people in the market who have specially placed bets. Do you know what the appraisers ‘analysis of my chances of winning is?”
“How much?”
It wasn’t just Lin Yi, even Tang Yin was listening.
Wang Tianfeng raised a finger.”Ten percent. Even this is taking care of my face. They think that the real probability of me winning is not even ten percent.”
Lin Yi and Tang Yin looked at each other.
It was common knowledge that since the two of them were both popular candidates, and their backgrounds were almost the same, they should naturally be evenly matched. Even if one side was stronger, the odds would at most be 40 – 60, so how could there be such a huge gap?
“Strange, isn’t it?”
Wang Tianfeng himself was very calm, even pouring more wine for the two and drinking a few more glasses before he explained to them.
“In terms of background, Wang Tianfeng and I are the most direct descendants of the direct descendants. His grandfather and my father were the two successors of the family head, and they both have good reputations in the family. It’s hard to say who’s superior.”
“In terms of skill, we’ve been rivals since we were young. We’ve won and lost over the years, but it’s hard to say who can definitely beat the other.”
“The difference lies in the third point, wealth.”
“When his grandfather was still in power, it was the golden period of our Wang family. Our industries expanded extremely fast, and our income almost doubled every year. It was only natural that his family occupied the key position of the new industry. Since then, we have been making a lot of money. It can be said that he actually controls more than half of the family’s money bag.”
“On the other hand, my father’s life has been full of changes over the years. Most of his energy and resources have been spent on dealing with crises. Although the situation has been stabilized overall, he has no spare energy to train his own team, let alone make profits in the expansion of industries.
Lin Yi had a rough idea of Tianfeng’s situation after listening to him. No matter where it was, a power struggle was bound to be a money-burning activity.
If the other hard conditions were equal, then naturally, the one with the greater wealth would have a higher chance of winning, especially when the financial gap between the two sides was wide to a certain extent. The result was even more obvious at a glance.
“Third uncle has his advantages too,” Tang Yin interjected. “The Grand elder’s side is with him, so he should be able to represent the opinions of many elders, right?”
Wang Tianfeng smiled bitterly.”Yun ‘er, you don’t understand. Although those elders usually treat the Grand Elder well and agree with a few words, they may not be so when it comes to critical moments.”
Lin Yi added,”according to the rules, the only people who can directly participate in the selection of the next head are these elders. The odds that the market has set out already represent their true attitude. After all, these people are professionals.”
To put it bluntly, Wang Tianfeng, this so-called popular candidate, was entirely brought up by the Grand Elder alone. The so-called popular candidate was completely just a verbal one.
“Uh, isn’t that bad?”
Tang Yun had thought that Wang Tianfeng would be a strong helper and that he would be enough to solve the problem of the talisman making society. She didn’t expect that it would be such a situation.
“From a personal point of view, I think you should just back off, uncle. Why waste your time and effort on someone else?” Lin Yi smiled.
“In fact, I think so too. Instead of wasting Baha’s effort for the family, I’ll be misunderstood by my own people. Wouldn’t it be better to close the door and live my own life comfortably? Once my state of mind is at ease, I might even be able to make a breakthrough in the future, and look forward to the ultimate Paragon of a powerful being. ”
Wang Tianfeng laughed at himself and helplessly shook his head.””But we can’t do that. No one knows Wang Tianwen’s character better than me. Once the Wang family is handed over to him, I’m afraid it won’t be long before the entire family is annihilated.”
Lin Yi looked at him deeply and raised his glass,”Since we don’t have a choice, then we can have a good discussion.”
“We should really think about it.”
Wang Tianfeng smiled and clinked his glass with Lin Yi ‘s, getting straight to the point,”Wang Tianwen’s strongest point is his wealth and power. His most important campaign weapon is also to bring benefits to everyone. In that case, let’s start with his strongest point.”
“Oh?” Lin Yi was all ears. Third uncle, please explain in detail. ”
“A while ago, Wang Tianwen took the lead to do something big,” Wang Tianfeng said seriously.”He reached a business cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance of your retained students. I think you know about this, little Lin?”
“Of course,” Lin Yi smiled.
He was the one who pushed for this, so how could he not know?
“This cooperation is a win-win situation for both sides. No matter if it’s the repeating students” Chamber of Commerce Alliance or our Wang family, we’ll be able to benefit a lot from it. Originally, with Wang Tianwen’s usual behavior, such a lucrative job would normally not fall on anyone else other than his own family. ”
Wang Tianfeng paused and chuckled.””However, for the sake of this election, he has given up the benefits that he has obtained. The branches in the clan that have a little bit of power have obtained a lot of benefits. Originally, there were many people who were neutral and had a wait-and-see attitude, but this time, they have all moved their butts to his side.”
Lin Yi was surprised. So he had a part to play in Wang Tianwen’s fame?
“Wang Tianwen made a good move, but there’s also a hidden danger. After all, the human heart is always greedy. If the benefits promised to them are suddenly in vain, what do you think will happen?”
Wang Tianfeng asked faintly.
“Naturally,” Lin Yi replied.
