“Little girl, what did you say just now? Grandpa is getting old and my ears aren’t working very well anymore.”

Chen Meng’er knew that her grandfather was not getting old and did not hear clearly. Instead, he did not believe what she said. “Grandpa, you did not mishear. What I meant just now was that he has been sitting in that position for quite some time. It’s time to come down and find someone else to occupy his seat. Our country is not an autocratic monarchy, nor is it a hereditary system. It’s not like he’s the only one who can sit in that seat,” Chen Meng’er said frankly. She had discussed this issue with Elder Liu before.

It was because Chen Meng’er had found out that someone had been targeting their Green Gang behind the scenes, and the mastermind behind this was the person at the top. She had talked to her grandfather, Elder Liu. Elder Liu was much more receptive than Elder Qu. After listening to Chen Meng’er’s words, he had expressed his approval of Chen Meng’er’s proposal.

Elder Liu was even more direct at that time. He asked Chen Meng’er if she was interested in that position. If she was, then they would give it their all.

Elder Liu’s proposal almost made Chen Meng’er spit out the tea in her mouth. Speaking of which, did she seem like the kind of person who cared a lot about power? If it weren’t for Elder Liu forcing her into a corner, she wouldn’t have taken over the Green Gang and the Liu family. She still wanted to live a more carefree life in this lifetime.

“Grandpa, I don’t believe that you’ve never thought about this problem.” Although the Qu family had always been in a neutral position, Chen Meng’er didn’t believe that the temptation of that position wouldn’t be enticed.

Needless to say, Chen Meng’er was right.

Elder Qu was an old revolutionary. He was already old and his power hungry heart had long faded. However, the younger generation of the Qu family had ambition. Chen Meng’er always said that if a person did not have any ambition, then it would be best for them to stay in the same place for the rest of their life. Therefore, it was still good to have some ambition.

Qu Yaotian had mentioned to his father, Elder Qu, that he wanted to partic.i.p.ate in this election. He was already middle-aged and wanted to take a gamble on the journey.

At that time, he was rejected by Elder Qu. Moreover, Qu Yaotian was harshly reprimanded by his father so that he could get rid of such thoughts earlier.

“It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but Meng’er, that position is not easy to sit in. Being in the center of power, the benefits are not good, but there are too many things to bear.” Elder Qu sighed.

“There are gains and losses. Grandpa, in the end, everyone understands this. Perhaps, in the past, if you told me this, I would definitely stand on your side. However, the present is different from the past. In today’s situation, the Qu family has no way out.” Chen Meng’er knew what Elder Qu was worried about. However, the current situation was not whether one was willing or not nor whether one wanted to or not, but one had to walk down this path. “Grandpa, have you ever thought about what the Qu family would face if the people from the Lu family were really acquitted? If they were to completely shed all pretense of cordiality with the Lu family, what would the Qu family, who stood on the opposite side of the Lu family, face? If the people from the Lu family could come out of there unscathed, they would definitely not let the Qu family off so easily. And the person above is also in cahoots with the Lu family. Grandpa, think about how dangerous the Lu family would be when that time comes.” Chen Meng’er had never thought that, Elder Qu, who seemed to be very resolute and decisive on a daily basis, would be so indecisive when it came to this kind of issue.
