Life in the world of film and television

Su Yunfang's words made the discussions in the room more intense. Waves of discussion and confrontation spread out from the conference room, merging into an intense and noisy tide, gradually spreading to the small square outside the conference room and the surrounding area.

Starting with Su Yunfang, people from the second and third rooms began to speak enthusiastically, and those who supported them also began to speak. When some people who supported the first room saw this, they also began to speak, and the scene became a mess.

In the end, the First Wife's influence became weaker. No matter what the outcome of the quarrel was, the fact was that the First Wife was no longer favored and people were against her.

After all, Su Tan'er is not a boy, and her identity as a woman makes her unable to withstand failure, and not many people are willing to give her another chance.

As the target of the attack, Su Tan'er kept a calm expression. She just sat quietly beside her father Su Boyong, occasionally looking up and watching everything indifferently.

The debate is still going on. Some members of the first house who know that Su Tan'er has lost power and will inevitably be marginalized are still arguing. Many people from the second and third houses are also very excited and are determined to completely suppress the momentum of the first house.

Su Zhongkan pretended to persuade him a few times, but it was of no use. He could only suppress his excitement and slowly sit down.

Now all kinds of emotions have been brewing. When the debate subsides, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be time for the elders sitting at the top and the father as the patriarch to make a decision.

But when there is no chance of an accident, something unexpected always happens.

In such a fierce and chaotic scene, few people noticed that Su Tan'er took out a few pieces of paper and passed them to Su Yu, the old man, through her father Su Boyong. Su Yu looked at them for a few seconds, showed a look of understanding, and passed them to the elders next to him.

At this point in the meeting, clan leader Su Yu clearly demonstrated something, which perhaps represented a certain attitude. Several clan elders nearby immediately became interested in those pieces of paper.

On the other side, the debate was still heated and not many people paid attention to the papers until they began to circulate among the elders. The expression of everyone who saw them changed drastically. They became serious and frowned, but suddenly their brows relaxed.

After reading it, many elders would ask Su Yu something, and Su Yu would turn his head and answer a few words. Then, one, two, three...these elders seemed to no longer care about the debate below, and sat together to discuss the papers.

This phenomenon finally attracted attention, and many people turned their attention to those pieces of paper, wondering what was written on them and what magic power they had that could make so many elders change color.

Afterwards, the debate below gradually died down, and the elders above began to discuss again.

Su Zhongkan looked at Su Yunfang, not quite understanding the meaning of the pieces of paper that suddenly appeared. Then he looked at Su Tan'er, who was still sitting quietly with no discernible expression on her face.

Su Zhongkan could only suppress his thoughts and wait for the result.

After a moment, the sound of a cane hitting the ground was heard.

As the clan leader, Su Yu stood up from his seat and scanned the entire audience.

"I'm done arguing now, let me say a few words."

"In recent months, our Su family has had some problems, with internal and external troubles. As for what the problem is, everyone knows it. You all came back from all over the place to solve this matter."

"I'm old now, and I'm no longer able to handle some things. I've been thinking about successors over the years. As for my Su family, everyone knows the situation of the several branches. None of the boys have achieved anything. Instead, they are very good at eating, drinking and having fun. Maybe the way my Su family teaches is wrong."

"In the past few years, only Tan'er, a girl, has caught people's attention. She is a good seedling with ideas and potential, so I thought of letting her try."

"It's just that in the business world, girls have to work harder than boys. You have to spend three times as much effort as others can. Because of this, Tan'er's marriage was delayed and she almost became an old maid. There were all kinds of gossips outside... But the result was still good. She found a good husband, Li Heng."

"Everyone has seen how Tan'er has performed over the years. She is qualified to be the successor of the Su family. As for what happened in the past few months, although many people have misunderstood, the elders have understood it, and everyone will know the reason soon."

"Although Tan'er is a little young, she has shown that she is capable of managing the household, and I can also enjoy my old age in peace."

Ignoring the various expressions of shock on the faces of the people below, he nodded at Su Tan'er: "Tan'er, you come up too!"

Su Tan'er's face was calm, as if she was not surprised at all. She stood up and walked forward with a small box.

The old man tapped the ground with his cane and said word by word, "From today on, all my businesses and affairs in various states will be handed over to Tan'er to take care of."

"Boyong..."

Su Boyong stood up quickly: "Dad..."

Su Yu said: "Tan'er is still young, you as a father should pay more attention to her."

Su Boyong said: "Yes, Dad!"

What was still being said on the stage, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang's brains were buzzing with intuition. How could this happen? Why did this happen? Tan Er had made such a big mistake, why could he still take over?

Not only them, but also the audience was shocked by the result. Everyone was stunned and talked about it. Some people doubted the result, but... seeing that the elders had no opinion, they could only keep it to themselves. Before they could be confused for too long, Su Tan'er opened the box and took out the items one by one in front of the elders.

There were banknotes, land deeds, house deeds, and signed contracts inside. After taking out the things in the box and arranging them, Su Tan'er walked forward, smiled faintly, and bowed to everyone. Everyone suppressed their surprise and curiosity and looked over to see what she wanted to say.

Su Tan'er pointed at the things on display and said, "I know that everyone has been confused in recent months. The eldest wife, who was doing well, suddenly seemed to have gone crazy and did many inexplicable things. She originally planned to be a low-key imperial merchant, but suddenly she became high-profile and wanted the whole world to know about it. As a result, after she failed in the election for the imperial merchant, she fell badly and no one was optimistic about her future."

"Plus, the eldest house has mobilized a large amount of money in recent times and made arrangements in many seemingly unreasonable places, which has further increased this suspicion."

"Everyone wants to know why? Actually, the answer is right here, and I have already laid it out."

"However, this is only the result of this period of time. There will be another batch later. I originally wanted to keep it secret for a while longer until I got all the things. But given the situation today, I can only take it out first."

Everyone looked at the things on the table in amazement, and some people couldn't help but come over to take a look.

After a while, he said with a dull face: "This is... this is..."

Su Tan'er said calmly, "There are a total of 210,000 taels of silver notes here, more than 50 land deeds, real estate, and store transfer contracts. The transfer contracts of the market share originally occupied by the Wu family in various states and prefectures; there are also the formulas of the five most famous dyes of the Wu family, and some other small things, I won't mention them."

"These are all what we have received. Next, there is another batch of things to be received."

Everyone stared in amazement, with looks of disbelief on their faces.

Su Zhongkan walked forward quickly: "This... is impossible. These are the lifeblood of the Wu family. Why should I give them to you?"

As he spoke, he began to personally check the banknotes, land deeds, house deeds, and documents on the table...

As for the dye formula, Su Tan'er had taken it away in advance, telling them that they only needed to know it but were absolutely not allowed to look at it.

Su Wenxing also came forward and suddenly picked up a property deed. He said in surprise, "Isn't this the three-story shop that we fought with the Wu family for two years ago and was finally taken over by the Wu family? It turned out to be here. Could it be..."

Then he looked at Su Zhongkan beside him and whispered, "Dad, this looks real. The deeds are all signed by the head of the Wu family."

Su Zhongkan was full of disbelief: "Impossible, it's fake... It's all fake... This is the most valuable industry of the Wu family, the lifeblood of the family, why would I give it to you?"

Su Tan'er smiled faintly: "Because their cloth fades!"

Su Zhongkan said: "The fading of the cloth...what does the fading of their cloth have to do with you?"

Su Tan'er laughed: "Because the formula of the cloth was stolen from me. Now it has faded. If they don't come to me for help, what else can I do?"

"The cloth of the Wu family..." Su Yunfang thought for a moment and turned his eyes: "You mean, the cloth of the imperial merchant? The cloth used by the royal family has faded?"

Su Tan'er nodded: "Yes."

Such explosive news made everyone's minds a little confused for a moment. The scene was silent. Looking at the girl in front of them who was only 19 years old and still had a girlish innocence when she smiled, they couldn't believe that she had set up such a big trap, not only trapping the Wu family, but also everyone.

Many people swallowed their saliva, feeling that Su Tan'er in front of them was suddenly mysterious and profound, which made people inexplicably feel a sense of awe.

"So, you had already been planning this a few months ago..."

"Did the Wu family steal the fake formula? The real formula is with you?"

"You have been waiting for the yellow cloth to fade these past few months? Then you took down the Wu family without a single drop of blood..."

Amid the uproar and exclamations at the scene, Su Tan'er just smiled faintly and did not respond. There was no need to reveal everything, it was good to let everyone guess.

Su Yu looked at everyone's expressions and said, "Now, there is no need to question the outcome of the imperial business... A few months ago, Boyong was assassinated, so the first house decided on such a desperate method."

"Everyone can see how difficult this operation is and how much profit it will bring. In order to keep it secret from the Wu family, they had to keep it a secret and keep everyone in the dark. They did a great job in this regard and everyone has already felt it."

"In this way, even the Xue family, the Lu family, the Liu family, etc. who have been eyeing my Su family and want to take advantage of my misfortune will all fail."

"Just now everyone doesn't know why I let Tan'er take charge of the Su family. It's for this reason. Who else is more qualified than Tan'er!"
