Chapter 131: Family Secrets (1)
There is no free lunch in the world, especially for politicians who value interests first.
Even if the big man at the peak of the Imperial Power Pyramid really appreciates himself, he will not give him benefits for no reason. Now that he is willing to make an exception, there must be a reason.
Wei Qinghao stared at him for a while before laughing, "Don't be so nervous, okay? Although I don't think he will do a loss-making business, he did not say much this time! In fact, although your potential is amazing, your current strength is still a little weaker."
"So... let's talk about it when you grow up!"
Xiao Junling nodded silently, raised his glass and signaled slightly, and then drank it all in one go.
An Yulong pursed his lips and asked casually: "I heard that there has been no progress in the relationship between you and Zhou Meng and Zhou Yun. Is that true?"
Ignoring his somewhat unexpected expression, the direct heir of the wealthy family of the imperial capital, said with a smile: "Don't think I'm talking too much. Speaking of which, they are my cousins. If you can get together in the future, we will be considered relatives!"
Only then did Xiao Junling remember that Zhou Meng's mother seemed to be from the An family, no wonder he would say that.
"This... is no longer a secret!" Xiao Junling smiled mockingly.
Zhao Zihan said with an ambiguous look on his face: "So, they are the two of them that cannot satisfy you? Then do you want your sister to introduce you to a few more suitable ones? Don't worry, it will definitely not be worse than them!"
He said a little embarrassedly: "It won't cost my sister a lot of trouble! In fact, it's not that they have anything wrong with it. The key to the problem is their family... You understand this."
Several people suddenly realized that Qin Weiyang said lazily: "That old guy Zhou Jiyuan is too greedy, no wonder it is like this! Why didn't he think about it? Even if you are willing to marry into a marriage, will your teacher agree? Will the Silk Star Temple, other families in the imperial capital, and even the imperial government agree? He thought his family could cover the sky with one hand in the imperial capital?"
An Yulong said: "This cannot be completely blamed on him, he has no choice! Zhou Lingfeng is about to end, and the family's high-end force has broken down. How could he, the head of the family, not be in a hurry?"
"But I heard that the injury has begun to improve recently!" Wei Qinghao looked at him deeply.
"I didn't expect that you, a mental psychopath, would actually stimulate non-standard healing and recovery capabilities by yourself. This was a rare precedent in the past. It was really surprising!"
The few of them were a little surprised. It was obviously the first time I knew that Xiao Junling actually had such ability.
Without saying a word, Zhao Zihan grabbed the fruit knife on the table and pointed it at his left hand. The sharp tip of the knife made a hole more than ten centimeters long on the snow-white skin, and the bright red blood immediately surged out.
"Come on, let my sister see!" She reached her hand in front of Xiao Junling.
He shook his hands and sprinkled a piece of silver light, like smoke and mist. As soon as he came into contact with her hand, he quickly merged into it. The originally bloody wound healed immediately at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few seconds, he recovered as before. There was no trace of injury on his smooth and delicate skin.
Zhao Zihan looked at his hand in a daze for a while before asking, "What ability is this? What level of level? Can you tell me?"
Xiao Junling nodded and roughly introduced the characteristics of this ability, but he must have reserved its real effect and upgrade potential.
Suddenly, everyone's evaluation of Xiao Junling's value was higher. With his mere Star Realm's strength, he actually had the ability to work against peak powerhouses like Jixing War God. This is absolutely unimaginable for other psychopaths of the same level!
Zhao Zihan stared at him deeply and asked slowly: "So, do you still like that pair of sisters very much? Then why do you want to heal that old guy?"
"...Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by sister!" Xiao Junling said in confusion.
"It's not easy?" she glared at him,
"Why is the Zhou family willing to put down their figure so much to please you? Isn't it because Zhou Lingfeng is about to die and the family has lost high-end combat power to take over, and their interests in many things will be damaged in the future?"
"So now you are a piece of fat meat and a life-saving straw for them! You must hold you in your hands at any cost! Otherwise, do you think the direct woman of the Zhou family would be promised to you so easily?"
As for the Zhou family's status in the imperial capital, the value of its direct women is naturally extraordinary. Those who are qualified to marry them can only be children of wealthy families with the same status. Of course, peak powerhouses like Jixing War God are also qualified, but if they only have the potential for promotion and are not able to have enough strength at present, under normal circumstances, they will not be favored by the senior management of the Zhou family.
Xiao Junling is an exception because Zhou Lingfeng's injury has no hope of recovery and the strong man in the family who is not capable of rushing to the threshold of the God of War of the Silent Star. For the sake of future interests, Zhou Jiyuan then relaxed and tried to use Zhou Meng as a bond to make him a member of the family.
According to her, in her heyday, the Zhou family had three silent war gods at the same time, and they were invincible in the pioneering war of the wild star domain. They had won countless planets and various rare resources in just a few decades! This led to the rapid increase in the strength of the family and its reputation in the imperial capital was at its peak. Even the families ranked ahead of it did not take it seriously.
If Xiao Junling had been born in that era, although he would have received attention and training from the senior members of the family, he would not have to think about marrying a direct woman from the head of the family before he was promoted to the rank of God of War. At most, he would give him a close woman.
Of course, since the last forced abduction incident, the senior management has understood that Xiao Junling's potential is far more than the level of the Jixing War God, and he is also a rare strongman in the spiritual field, so his potential value has been greatly improved.
"...If you still want to get the sisters without paying much, you shouldn't care about the old guy's life or death!" Zhao Zihan said last,
"I dare to conclude that before you can't be sure that you will achieve greater achievements in the future, the Zhou family will not continue to invest more resources in you. If you really cure Zhou Lingfeng and the family will lose their worries, the senior executives of the Zhou family will most likely not fulfill their promises, and they may even turn against each other!"
Xiao Junling's brows frowned deeply. He didn't expect that there was such a reason for the matter. Zhao Zihan said it well. The senior management of the Zhou family only valued interests and did not consider anything else. So if Zhou Lingfeng really recovered under his treatment in the future, the result...
Qin Weiyang looked at his expression and smiled and said, "Actually, with your current conditions, you don't have to hang yourself on the tree of the Zhou family! There are also many excellent girls from other families in the hall below. I think it's very necessary for you to go and take a look!"
Xiao Junling asked with some amusement, "Does this include the women in Brother Qin's family?"
"Of course!" Qin Weiyang smiled,
"If you really have an idea, I can introduce my sister to you. If you are satisfied, the family will not have too many restrictions on you in the future. As long as you can help you out when the family needs it!"
"It sounds like the conditions are really good, I'm a little moved! Why don't you let me think about it?" Xiao Junling gently rubbed his temples, suddenly remembered another question, and asked:
"By the way, how high is the Zhou family's strength and status in the imperial capital? There should be many families like them, right?"
Wei Qinghao immediately interrogated: "Yes, although the Zhou family is strong, its status is within the entire Huaxia Empire..."
The Chinese Empire is one of the top 500 wealthy families. Each of them is a huge group with a high status and great influence at home and abroad.
Thanks to years of accumulation, these families have control over connections, wealth, power, territory and other resources openly and secretly, which are extremely amazing! They are the veritable superstructure of this superpower.
The families that can be among the top 100 wealthy families will not be unknown in the empire and even the entire Star Sea world. They have a long history, are prominent in reputation, and even have the strength to influence the foreign policy of the empire to a considerable extent!
Of course, both families are divided into different levels. For example, the ones ranked in the bottom 400 can only be considered the third group, and the ones ranked in the top 100 can only be considered the second group. Among these hundreds of wealthy families, only the ones ranked in the top 30 can be considered the first group!
With the strength and background of the Zhou family, it has ranked fifteenth among the wealthy families in the imperial capital in the past two years, and it can be regarded as a huge figure in the entire Xinghai world!
As for those who rank higher, it is not necessary to say that their strength is that many families have even existed since the era of the Red Empire on Earth and have been passed down. Their background is naturally conceivable.
For example, the Qin family, which ranks among the top five, had many political leaders and military leaders in the tribe as early as the era of the Red Empire, and even the supreme leader! The family has been passed down to this day and has a huge influence that outsiders can hardly guess in all areas of the empire.
In addition, An Yulong and Zhao Zihan's family are all in the No. 1 group, and the ranking is similar to that of the Zhou family. As for Wei Qinghao's family, they have just risen. Of course, because of his father's identity as the Grand Consul, his current status is not inferior to those of the wealthy families present.
"However, I remember that there should be thirty groups in the first group of the imperial capital. Why do I see that there are only twenty-nine companies on it?" Xiao Junling looked through a book of information Wei Qinghao took out and asked in confusion:
"Have there not been enough families to squeeze into the No. 1 Group recently?"
Hearing his words, everyone present looked a little strange. Qin Weiyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "As far as I know, there are always only twenty-nine wealthy families in the First Group, as for the remaining one..."
"You just need to know that there are only twenty-nine families!" Wei Qinghao said slowly,
Chapter completed!
