Hearing Song Wanqiu's words, everyone was stunned.
What did this mean?
Was Song Wanqiu leaning towards Jiang Chen's side now?
No, that couldn't be possible!
Who was Song Wanqiu? She was one of the representatives of the national elder, Old Master Song.
With her support, it was the same as having the support of Old Master Song.
Such support could instantly obliterate the nine tycoons beside Jiang Minghui!
But why would this happen?
It shouldn't be!
Everyone was so shocked that they were agape and couldn't believe their eyes.
Jiang Minghui was so surprised he was struck dumb, his mouth wide open as he stared at Song Wanqiu, simply unable to believe this was real.
Even Jiang Chen was taken aback, turning around and looking at Song Wanqiu with confusion, "Miss Song, what is this...?"
Before Jiang Chen could finish, Song Wanqiu offered a slight smile, "Jiang Chen, I find you to be a friend worth making, and I'm willing to extend my friendship to you. I wonder if you're willing to accept it? However, I must warn you, accepting the friendship of Jinhuan Clubhouse might invite some trouble, some... that will require you to grow again before you can deal with it!"
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, and then turned to look at Leng Ye, who stood beside Ye Jingyi. Song Wanqiu's remarks were much like what Leng Ye had said, which made him start to doubt.
Leng Ye clearly understood Jiang Chen's thoughts and quietly shook his head.
This left Jiang Chen somewhat bewildered, why were they all anticipating his future? What was going on?
"What's the matter? Not willing to accept?" Noting the bewildered look on Jiang Chen's face, Song Wanqiu teased him with a glance.
"Accept, of course, I accept!" Jiang Chen hurriedly nodded.
Who wouldn't be a fool to refuse? As for future matters, they could be dealt with in the future!
Seeing this, everyone almost exploded, and they started to discuss fervently amongst themselves.
"What is going on here?"
"Miss Song personally offers the friendship of Jinhuan Clubhouse? This..."
"What has Jiang Chen done to deserve such good fortune? Why can't these things ever happen to me!"
"Why the hell am I starting to feel jealous of this Jiang Chen now?"
"I've been jealous of him for a long time!"
The onlookers' eyes were filled with fervor as they looked at Jiang Chen, and some even showed a resentful expression, wishing they could rush over and kick Jiang Chen aside to accept Song Wanqiu's friendship themselves.
This was Song Wanqiu's friendship!
This was the friendship extended by the esteemed elder's own granddaughter!
This kind of friendship was practically a VIP pass in the country!
Zhang Chenggang, Meng Chaochen, and Sun Yucheng all showed expressions of regret. If they had known that Song Wanqiu was there to support Jiang Chen, they should not have hesitated earlier and should have stepped forward sooner.
Stepping forward now would just be gilding the lily and would no longer be taken seriously!
The three exchanged glances and silently made a decision!
Then, they too stepped forward.
Even if it was just to gild the lily, they had to do it.
"I, Zhang Chenggang, support Jiang Chen!"
"I, Meng Chaochen, support Jiang Chen!"
"I, Sun Yucheng, support Jiang Chen!"
The heads of the three great families voiced their support in unison, sending the entire place into an uproar.
Victory!
Jiang Chen had won!
There was no suspense about his victory!
Jiang Minghui was beaten so thoroughly that he was completely powerless to counterattack!
At this moment, Jiang Minghui's face was ashen, and his eyes darkened to a terrifying extent.
Song Wanqiu's arrival completely overturned his layout, shattering his network of connections.
None of the nine First-Class Families' Family Heads could compare to just one Song Wanqiu!
And that's to say nothing of the subsequent addition of Zhang Chenggang and others.
"Next, I announce..."
Third Elder Jiang, invigorated, spoke loudly, "In the third challenge, Jiang Chen wins, in today's ancestral worship assessment, Jiang Chen is the victor! Jiang Chen will be the Family Head successor of the Jiang Family."
Afterward, turning to look at Jiang Minghui, Third Elder Jiang said indifferently, "Jiang Minghui, relinquish your position as Family Head promptly!"
As his words fell, the whole venue exploded.
"Jiang Chen won?!"
"Jiang Chen actually won? This...it's just inconceivable!"
"What 'Jiang Chen'? You mean, don't you? He should be called 'Young Master Chen'!"
"Exactly, exactly, Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen!"
No matter how much the onlookers couldn't believe it, the results were laid out before them—Jiang Chen won.
Starting today, Jiang Chen is the Family Head successor of the Jiang Family, and very soon, the word 'successor' will be removed!
The unassuming Jiang Chen, in such a short time after arriving at the Jiang Family, had completely defeated the deeply entrenched and cunning Family Head.
This outcome was something that nobody had anticipated.
It was as if a chick in everyone's eyes had defeated a swaggering, hungry eagle.
And at this moment, Jiang Chen was no longer the chick in people's eyes.
Now, Jiang Chen had become a rising...
Kunpeng!
...
"I will not hand it over! I am the Family Head of the Jiang Family! He, Jiang Chen, is unworthy!" Jiang Minghui bellowed fiercely, reaching out his hand and shouting, "Bring it to me!"
Standing by his side, Jiang Mingkun took a document from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Minghui.
"What is this for?"
"I don't know! Can Jiang Minghui still turn the tables now?"
The crowd in the square all turned their gaze to Jiang Minghui, while Jiang Chen thought of something, his lips curving into a cold smile.
"Jiang Chen, this is the shareholding agreement of Longteng Group. I know that Jiang Wenbo has already given his 30% shares to you, and I'm aware that Jiang Yuqing and Jiang Yuling will definitely support you!
But all of you combined only amount to 40% of the shares, whereas I hold 43% of the shares. I am the major shareholder of Longteng Group, I am the Family Head of the Jiang Family, and I'm going to call a shareholders' meeting to expel you from Longteng Group!"
Jiang Minghui, with a cold expression and nearly going mad, shouted out loud.
"What? How could you possibly have so many shares?" Elder Master Jiang's face changed drastically as he cried out in shock.
"How? Jiang Wenbo, did you think the recent turmoil in the Longteng Group's stock market was just those financiers collecting money again?"
Jiang Minghui sneered maniacally:
"No, you're wrong!
It was all my doing. Law Manifestation Group was established for today, set up just for the recent sweeping through the stock market!
Did you even imagine that? Haha... Jiang Chen, what does it matter if you won the ancestral worship assessment? What does it matter if you are strong? Would you dare to kill me? Even if you did, would you dare to kill all the collateral family members?
Haha... Jiang Chen, you want to sit as the Family Head of the Jiang Family, but you, a bastard, are still unworthy!"
At this point, everyone in the venue was once again greatly shocked.
"This…"
"Jiang Minghui actually had this move up his sleeve?"
"Longteng Group has always been managed by Jiang Minghui; if a shareholders' meeting is called, those shareholders will surely support him, and Jiang Chen would have done all this for nothing!"
"Alas! He is still too young!"
The onlookers all sighed, looking at Jiang Chen with pity.
Jiang Chen won, yet he still lost!
He lost in experience, lost in capability, lost due to his youth!
