"I'm going to report this to the family and re-evaluate this prodigal son..."
"Using a chariot as a truck and throwing away millions of spirit coins? He really can think of that!"
"But don't tell me, this may seem absurd, but... it might really make a hole!"
"Chu He has a rival this time. This prodigal son doesn't play by the rules at all. He's too difficult to deal with. Have you seen the old steward Ling who hasn't even stood up yet? Tsk tsk..."
"Don't talk about this. Hey, I originally thought I was a rich man..."
Everyone was talking about it, but they also wanted to watch a good show, so they hurried to follow. Soon, a long dragon appeared behind Chu Tianxiao's team, which looked very impressive!
At this moment, Chu Tianxiao was driving the chariot while gently tapping the edge of the chariot, his thoughts flowing.
"The true son of heaven, with his own halo, managing the family is like a cheat. In just a few years, it has become as solid as a rock?"
A sneer of contempt appeared on Chu Tianxiao's lips.
"That was before he met my black sheep!"
"What do you mean impregnable? As long as it's a nest, I'll use my money to break down the iron wall for you to see!"
…
…
A moment later, at the Chu family in Kyoto.
"Hey, have you heard? The Second Young Master is back, and he's handing out... red envelopes in the front hall, saying it's just to increase our monthly wages!"
"Really? How much? A hundred spirit coins?"
"Hehe... One hundred spirit coins? Do you know what that 'red envelope' is? A storage bag! One storage bag costs thousands of spirit coins! Not to mention, there are many big red envelopes, some with tens of thousands of spirit coins!"
"This... can't be possible!"
"Why not! I tell you, those 'red envelopes' are all in the cars. If you have seen those cars, you will know how rich the Second Young Master is! My goodness, they are all chariots, and there are so many ferocious beasts!"
“Really?”
"You still don't believe it, right? Whatever you want! I'm going to grab the 'red envelopes', you can just stay here and hesitate!"
"Don't...don't! Wait for me!"
As Chu Tianxiao entered the Chu family in Kyoto, this kind of conversation began to happen everywhere. First, servants, slaves, and maids came up in groups of two or three. Later, seeing Chu Tianxiao driving his car and throwing money around like crazy, even the managers couldn't help themselves when they saw the pile of red storage bags, er, no, "red envelopes"...
If you miss this grand event, you will miss it forever!
So, gradually, countless servants, small stewards, and even managers began to rush towards the front hall. Many of them arrived a step late, and they ran madly after the chariot, wishing they had two more legs!
The Chu family in Kyoto suddenly became extremely lively!
As Chu Tianxiao drove at full speed, everything was in chaos!
In this situation, of course there were people who wanted to clean up and "show their loyalty", however, facing the fierce Thunder Dragon Horse and the ferocious Chu Tianxiao, many people were not only discouraged, but some underestimated the enemy and did not know how to live or die, and were directly slapped away by Chu Tianxiao. Before they could say anything, Chu Tianxiao had already finished a long string of words.
"Am I the young master of the Chu family?"
"Is today the day when the Chu family distributes the monthly salary?"
"I drove in here to give the servants more money and to raise the housekeeper's salary, to unite the upper and lower classes and to strengthen the family. Is that wrong?"
"Did I use a spirit coin from the Chu family in Kyoto?"
"This is my money, this is my home, I want to play around with it, is there a problem?"
"My father didn't stop me from squandering money, so who do you think you are?"
“Get lost!”
In this way, Chu Tianxiao's momentum continued to accumulate, as if it was about to break through the sky, but the only one who could stop him by saying he was making trouble as an elder, the third uncle of the Chu family, remained silent, as if he was happy to see it happen...
…
Kyoto Chu family, backyard.
"Master! We can't go on like this! Listen, what are people saying outside? Second Young Master! They are all shouting Second Young Master's name!" A subordinate who was loyal to Chu He pounded the ground angrily, "That prodigal son made such a big noise, and his means of winning people's hearts are too cruel. Master, we must think of a way to stop him!"
Chu He opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "He is trying to win people's hearts, but more importantly, he is still building momentum..."
"Create a... sweeping and forcing force!"
"Interesting prodigal son, you made such a big fuss, are you trying to deliberately elevate your place of residence?"
Chu He looked towards the Young Master's Building, his eyes gradually becoming deeper: "So you have big plans..."
After these words fell, the subordinates were a little confused, and then Chu He asked: "How many people are going there now?"
"… probably, 70% to 80% of the servants went, almost all the maids went, and 20% to 30% of the junior stewards and managers, but… the senior manager didn't go." Another subordinate reported back, "Besides that, no one went to the Third Master's place either. That place… is too quiet. Do you think…"
"No need to do more." Chu He shook his head. "Uncle San has always been loyal to the family. Money alone will never move him. Since the chief steward is still under our control, there is no need to interfere."
"But... that loser is building up his own team!"
"Humph... a bunch of servants, slaves, maids, and just a little bit of management... what can they accomplish!" Chu He said coldly, "As long as Third Uncle is still on my side, as long as my two main descendants are still in control, these details are not important at all!"
"Don't panic, don't be impatient. The prodigal's move was indeed beyond my expectation. He was willing to do it... But the more it is now, the more I can't do it!" After Chu He finished speaking, the subordinate was very puzzled: "Why, Master? Are we going to let the prodigal develop?"
"The key is to focus on the overall situation." Chu He's eyes drifted away. "At this moment, Third Uncle must also want to see what choice I will make. If I take action now, I can certainly cut off the sporadic 'foundation' that my good cousin has just developed, but I will be inferior in Third Uncle's heart, and I will lose the big picture for the small!"
Chu He's words were filled with an ambiguous emotion: "Before... the matter with Second Uncle, Third Uncle already suspected that I was the one who forced him to issue the 'Family Restriction Order' and go to the ancestral land in person. And that prodigal son has been so aggressive recently, especially after defeating Bing Qing and rushing to Kyoto last night, which really pleased Third Uncle! So, at this critical moment, we must not lose our composure!"
The subordinate also knew that when the third uncle of the Chu family was young, he would rather break than bend. He was strong and resolute. Chu Tianxiao acted so heroically last night. It would be a lie to say that he didn't like him!
"Sir, do you mean that the Third Master... is shaken?"
“No,” Chu He shook his head slowly. “Uncle San is only concerned about the family. Personal likes and dislikes will not affect his judgment. Now that the battle for the Imperial Garden is imminent, the Chu family cannot be in chaos. This is his bottom line! As long as I don’t make mistakes and don’t lose my composure, Uncle San will never stand on the side of the prodigal son and become my enemy, because... that means going to war, and there will be losses when two strong forces fight!”
"On the contrary, if Third Uncle always stands on my side, even if Chu Tianxiao gathers more 'servants', the gap between his power and mine will still be huge, and the disparity in strength will make it impossible for us to fight!"
After hearing this, the subordinate suddenly felt as if the dark clouds in his heart had been cleared, and he said with sudden enlightenment: "So that's how it is... Young Master, you have a brilliant plan."
Chu He did not respond. After a moment's silence, he said, "But... this prodigal son has made such a big scene. I'm afraid that the group of 'worms' will come after him. These people are eager to cause chaos in the world. We need to be careful..."
"Young master, you are good at preventing problems before they arise. I admire you for that! Compared to you, that prodigal son can only use some petty tricks and is not worth mentioning at all!" said the subordinate.
"Haha... a little trick?" Chu He's eyes turned cold, "Do you really think this is just a little trick?"
"Open your eyes and take a good look! Before this prodigal son came, the Chu family I managed was as solid as a rock! But what about now? He just came, and he stepped on my old butler and drove into the mansion, causing people's hearts to be unsettled and their minds to change! Not to mention... there are also those 'worms' who are still unwilling to give up and are ready to make a move!" (To be continued.).
