Luocheng, one of the economic hubs in southeast China, is also one of the best bustling cities in the country.
Countless funds flow and gather in this city every day, and it is unknown how many people have been accomplished and buried in this bustling city.
And the real controller of this city, the family named
— Li’s family.
Intervening in several major fields such as people's livelihood, medical care, finance, scientific research, etc., those with strong capital can truly be called wealthy.
In this era when "family" is used to describe something strange, families do exist, some are mixed in the economic field, and some are involved in the political circle.
Relatives under the same line have their respective businesses linked to each other to form a huge industry.
That's how the family was formed.
At this moment, in the northern outskirts of Luocheng, there is a huge manor with more than a dozen villas, large and small.
The senior members of the Li family gathered and were holding a family meeting in the main house.
Gou Yu was wearing his white coat in the research room, and was sitting at a corner of the round table, watching his nominal 'uncle', 'uncle' and other relatives arrive.
Participate in this meeting that only the senior members of the Li family can attend.
No way, only the top management, and he is one of them.
Inheriting his mother's outstanding talent, he was used by his father to strengthen his education since he was a child. He is the core person in charge of the latest and most advanced scientific research studio of the Li family.
Although he has just come of age in terms of age, in fact, he has been in the research room assigned to him by the family for seven years.
From the assistant at the beginning, to the supervisor, to the person in charge, and finally to the core theory proposer.
Gou Yu used it for seven years.
The price is his pale and deformed life so far.
The warmest memory in Gou Yu's memory was when his mother was still around, she was holding him as a child in the living room watching TV.
Gou Yu's mother is a very powerful person. She started several businesses from scratch, and finally married into the Li family. In the eyes of normal people, it is a brilliant and perfect life, but...
She is no longer here.
All the properties under her name are left to Gou Yu.
Gou Yu twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand, watching the number of people on the round table increase one by one, until finally two people walked in from the door.
A deadpan middle-aged man in his thirties and a smiling bearded man in his fifties.
Both of them were wearing dark and straight suits and ties, and they walked slowly towards this side. When they passed by Gou Yu, the middle-aged man suddenly frowned and stopped.
Putting his hand on Gou Yu's shoulder, he exerted a little force, and the alienated and indifferent voice sounded cold and merciless:
"Li Yu, when you see me and your uncle, why don't you stand up and say hello?"
Li Xianyi looked at Gou Yu without any fluctuation in his eyes, as if that was not his son.
"This is the highest-level meeting of the Li family. It's not a place where I should talk about seniority with the head of the family and uncle."
Perfect answer.
Without any panic, Gou Yu spoke lightly, as if he had already thought up the draft.
The impeccable answer made Li Xianyi frowned. He was about to say something, but beside him, Gou Yu's uncle, Li Deren smiled kindly:
"Xianyi, Xiaoyu is right, this is a place for meetings, it is not suitable for talking about family and seniority."
After hearing this, Li Xianyi withdrew his hand and nodded, and then one of them sat on the main seat, and the other sat on the second seat.
"Then let's start this meeting."
On the conference round table, middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes and elegantly dressed women were discussing matters one by one. Gou Yu, who was wearing a white coat, sat in the corner without saying a word.
It looked out of place.
"By the way, Li Yu should be an adult this year, and it's time to arrange his future position."
The man sitting opposite Gou Yu, his third uncle, started talking with a smile.
Heh, didn't you arrange my position a long time ago
"Well, indeed, in view of his outstanding contributions to the Li family in the field of scientific research, the position of the core person in charge of our Ancheng research laboratory is still vacant."
Then let me serve as a scientific research tool for you all your life
Gou Yu looked at the eyes without any change on his face, as if he was not the one being discussed at the moment.
"Oh, by the way, since you are already going to devote yourself to scientific research," Li Deren smiled kindly, and unilaterally decided Gou Yu's future life.
No one ever asked Gou Yu for his opinion.
"Then the property left to you by your mother before, let the family take care of it first."
Li Deren smiled kindly, like an elder who takes care of the younger generation.
If you don't know the inside story, I'm afraid some people will think that he really wants to take care of the younger generation.
But Gou Yu knew that he, not...
They just finally found an opportunity to snatch away the properties they have coveted for a long time.
"Although it is said that your mother left it for you, you have to be clear that it would not be possible to develop without the Li family's industries."
At this time, a woman with heavy makeup said with a sharp smile.
Is it? Can the second aunt's family also get a share
Gou Yu glanced at her and remained silent.
"Let's transfer it to your younger brother temporarily, and you can concentrate on researching the tasks assigned to your laboratory."
In the end, the man on the main seat made a calm decision, as if there was nothing wrong or wrong.
Everything, in the eyes of these people, seems to be taken for granted.
"Those properties have been taken away by your mother for so many years, it's time to return to the family."
The fourth uncle, who had been envious of Gou Yu's medical institution that was making profits every year, also interjected.
Gou Yu's hands were tightly clenched under the round table, then loosened, clenched again, and loosened again.
"Don't be dissatisfied, this is the family's decision."
As if aware of the turmoil in his expressionless face at the moment, Li Xianyi frowned and said something coldly.
In other words, it was an order.
Don't be dissatisfied
You tell me not to be dissatisfied!
Everything my mother left me, now you want to take it away with empty teeth, you told me you want me...
Don't be dissatisfied!
Gou Yu raised his head and looked at Li Xianyi. This was the first time that the father and son looked at each other at this meeting.
Whether you treat yourself as a tool and don't give yourself anything, even if you can't go to school and make friends like normal people, even if you have long been used to the cold machinery in the laboratory, someone will monitor and control it at all times.
Gou Yu felt that he could bear all these things, but...
You even want to take away the last... my last thing!
Gou Yu tightly grasped the hands on his knees, but his face was still blankly scanning the faces of everyone on the round table.
Each of them is hypocritical and self-sufficient.
Sudden!
Li Deren's cell phone rang suddenly!
He frowned, picked it up, and his face changed slightly after only hearing one sentence!
Then he said to Li Xianyi with an ugly face, and his voice sounded in the meeting room.
"Just now we received a warning from an unknown source."
Li Xianyi frowned slightly: "What warning?"
"Your Li family has provoked someone who shouldn't be provoked."
"Have you checked the source?"
Li Xianyi knew that it was impossible for simple threats to reach their ears.
Li Deren's face was uneasy and ugly, and he could no longer put on the gentle look just now, and said in a deep voice:
"From the capital!"
"What?"
"At the same time, my acquaintances in the Department of Transportation told me that they had watched a car without a license plate on the southern edge of Los Angeles, and it was heading towards us."
Li Xianyi: "!!!"
