After the divorce, I became a god that my ex-wife couldn’t reach.
Chapter 1286 A combination of kindness and power
With a "thump", Cao Chengwang suddenly knelt down again in front of Pi Yangyang with a look of surprise on his face, and said excitedly: "Thank you Mr. Pi for showing mercy! From now on, my Cao family will always be a vassal of the Yan family, and it will never change for generations!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed three times.
Everyone could see that this time he knelt down willingly and was truly full of gratitude.
Therefore, everyone guessed that the phone call just now must be good news.
The look towards Pi Yangyang was not only admiration, but more of fear.
With just a few strokes, he took control of the life and death of the Cao family, once one of the top five families.
This kind of strength is really too terrifying.
Li Taiding's face was full of envy, because his Li family would have to wait until tomorrow to know the result.
However, he has made up his mind that even if he has to give away all the Li family's assets, he must preserve the foundation of the Li family.
As long as the foundation remains, there is hope.
He also felt the terror of Pi Yangyang. In the future, he would be willing to become a vassal of the Yan family, even if the Li family became an 18th-tier family.
This scene moved many small families that once followed the Qi family. They all wanted to follow suit and begged Pi Yangyang to show mercy.
But at this time, Zhao Gaoming had cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Okay, let's end this matter here. Enough time has been wasted. Now let's move on to the first topic of the meeting!"
Chu Ge and others stepped down from the stage and went to the lounge at the back from one side.
After hearing Zhao Gaoming's words, some family representatives who wanted to kneel down had to hold back.
The scene fell silent again, and everyone looked at Zhao Gaoming.
"After this business war, the Qi, Cao, and Li families have been removed from the top five families. The next topic is to publicly evaluate the new top five families in the capital."
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhao Gaoming spoke loudly.
"I propose that the Yan family be included in the list of the top five families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Chengwang immediately shouted loudly.
Li Taiding quickly followed up, "I also propose that the Yan family be included in the list of the five major families."
Zhao Gaoming did not express his opinion, but instead glanced calmly at the audience, as if asking for everyone's opinions.
Zhou Hexu said: "I also proposed that the Yan family be one of the five major families. Twenty years ago, the Yan family was the leader of the five major families in China. Although it encountered misfortunes, it disappeared for more than twenty years.
"But today, the descendants of the Yan family have returned as kings, and their first move was a big one. It is foreseeable that the future development of the Yan family will be unstoppable. Therefore, I think the Yan family is fully qualified to be one of the top five families."
Miao Zeyu and Han Handong naturally followed suit and expressed their agreement.
Now everyone can see that even Zhao Gaoming is respectful to Pi Yangyang. Moreover, the group of young people just now formed a team that can be called against the sky.
The second generation descendants of these wealthy families are the ones that their families focus on cultivating, and they are very likely to take over the family in the future.
And all these people are shareholders of Yan's Company, which makes Yan's Company seem terrifying.
Therefore, no one thought that there was anything excessive in Zhou Hexu's statement, and they all nodded in agreement.
Pi Yangyang looked indifferent and said nothing.
Since he has decided to reveal his identity and return to the capital, he must make a stunning debut.
The Qi family volunteered to donate blood as a sacrifice, which just fulfilled his wish.
Use the Qi family as an example to establish authority, intimidate all the families and companies in the capital, and enhance the reputation of the Yan family, which will benefit the future development of the Yan family.
Therefore, he did not object to Zhou Hexu's compliments.
"I also think that the Yan family should be ranked among the top five families!"
In the meeting, many people followed suit and agreed.
Even if one feels disagreement in one's heart, one dares not show it.
In this situation, only a fool would offend the person standing on the stage.
Hearing the chorus of approval, Zhao Gaoming raised his hand to suppress it and said, "Okay, since everyone is suggesting this, I will also express my attitude."
When the venue quieted down a bit, he said loudly: "I also think that the Yan family should be ranked among the top five families. Just as Patriarch Zhou said, the Yan family was originally the king, and this time when he returns, he should stand in his original position."
Although this statement was a bit implicit, everyone understood it.
The Yan family used to be the leader among the five major families in China, and was also the number one family in Beijing.
Not to mention the five major families in China, at least Zhao Gaoming’s intention is to make the Yan family the largest family in the capital.
Some people were surprised, while others thought it was natural.
After all, if it weren’t for Pi Yangyang, the Zhao family might not have won this business war.
Therefore, it is reasonable that the Zhao family's strength is inferior to that of the Yan family.
"Also, let's re-elect the new five major families and rank them."
Zhao Gaoming didn't explain much and spoke again.
Cao Chengwang and Li Taiding immediately stated that their family would completely withdraw from the first-tier families, and it would be even more impossible for them to compete for the ranking of the top five families.
The people at the meeting were also very clear that the three families that had resolutely tied themselves to the Zhao family this time were Zhou, Miao, and Han.
The Zhou family was originally one of the five major families, and the head of the Miao family is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, one of the top first-tier families.
The Han family is also a first-tier family. Although it is at the bottom of the list, its status is naturally different after this business war.
So everyone quickly reached a consensus to let the Miao and Han families fill the positions of the Cao and Li families and become new members of the five major families.
As for the ranking, everyone has always recommended the Yan family to be ranked first.
Zhao Gaoming naturally also agreed very much.
Even though his Zhao family is now one of the top five families in the country, he does not dare to surpass the Yan family.
More than 20 years ago, his Zhao family could only be regarded as a vassal family of the Yan family. This difference in status was deeply rooted in his bones.
Moreover, Pi Yangyang saved Zhao Gaoming's life and demonstrated his incredible strength. Zhao Gaoming became even more aware that the rise of the Yan family was unstoppable.
It is hard to say whether the first family in China in the future will be named Chen or Yan.
Pi Yangyang was not modest and accepted it frankly.
Therefore, the final ranking was the Yan family first, the Zhao family second, followed by the Zhou, Miao, and Han families.
At this point, the new five major families in Beijing were determined.
Zhao Gaoming held a banquet in the villa, and everyone had lunch there at noon.
At the banquet, everyone lined up to toast Pi Yangyang, hoping to leave a small impression on him.
After the banquet began, Pi Yangyang introduced Yan Qian and Lan Bowen again.
"Everyone, from now on, the main persons in charge of Yan's Company are Mr. Qian and Mr. Lan. If you have any business matters that require assistance from the company, you can contact them directly. They have full authority to decide all matters of the company..."
The reason why he introduced it again was because he didn't want to manage the company personally like Su Xueqing did.
He still has a lot to do, such as finding his enemies, figuring out the branches of Jiuxuanmen, integrating them, and so on.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to focus all his energy on the company.
Everyone understood what he meant as soon as they heard it, and knew that unless it was something special, they should not disturb him.
However, everyone can understand that, after all, a person as extraordinary as him cannot be disturbed by anyone who wants to.
They also felt that as long as they could establish good relations with Yan Qian and Lan Bowen and establish connections with the Yan family, it would be of great benefit to the development of their family and company.
Looking at the lively banquet scene, Cao Chengwang and Li Taiding felt a little disappointed.
Think about it, they were the core figures in the past. At every banquet, there was an endless stream of people toasting them.
But now, the two of them seemed to have been completely forgotten.
However, no matter how disappointed they were, the two did not dare to say much. Instead, they were secretly glad that they had preserved the foundation of their family.
At the main table, almost everyone had come to toast.
Pi Yangyang accepted almost everyone who came to him, which shocked Zhao Gaoming, Zhou Hexu and others.
I've heard that one can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but this time I saw it for real.
I don’t know how many cups he drank, but Pi Yangyang remained calm, as if he didn’t drink anything.
How could they know that Pi Yangyang had already used his inner strength to dissolve the alcohol after drinking it. Even if he drank more, he would never get drunk.
"Mr. Pi, you have a good alcohol tolerance!"
Zhou Hexu gave a thumbs up and expressed his sincere admiration.
Pi Yangyang smiled calmly, "It's nothing."
"Mr. Pi, there is something I don't understand, and I don't know if I should ask."
Zhou Hexu thought about it and said with a questioning look on his face.
Pi Yangyang said: "You want to ask why I let the Cao and Li families go, right?"
Zhou Hexu nodded in astonishment. "Yes, these two families were so arrogant and domineering at the beginning, threatening to join forces with the Qi family to defeat the Zhao family. Now that they have fallen to this point, it is the right time for them to turn over, but Mr. Pi let them go..."
Zhao Gaoming said in a deep voice: "It is very easy to prevent them from turning over, but doing so will only leave two enemies, and there is no benefit. If Mr. Pi does this, not only will he not leave any enemies, but the two families will also be grateful to Mr. Pi. In the future, the two families will not dare to have any disloyalty to Mr. Pi.
"In addition, Mr. Pi used both kindness and force in doing this. So many people present saw it clearly and knew Mr. Pi's methods, so they would naturally be in awe. This will be of great benefit to the future development of the Yan family in the capital..."
