C458 The First Round of Competition
Uncle Ding and Ming Xi heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that the first round was just a business competition.
With the current strength of the Tianmen Mansion and their good relations with the major families of Yunhai City, it could be said that they had the confidence to face all kinds of opponents.
"Second Young Master! So are we going to take the initiative or just wait and see? "
At this moment, Uncle Ding, who was waiting by the side, asked.
"Let's take a look at the situation first."
Chu Fann smiled and said, "With our current strength, there is no need for us to fight from the start. When my brothers and sisters eliminate those who are not qualified enough, it won't be too late for us to attack."
"The first round of the competition will last for a month. There is no hurry."
Hearing this, Uncle Ding, Ming Xi, and the others nodded slightly.
They also felt that if they fought too early, there would be no benefit other than exposing their own strength.
What if their side posed too great a threat to the other medicinal Chu's members and the others directly joined forces? Wasn't that looking for trouble for themselves?
However, if they didn't take the initiative to attack, it didn't mean that the other Chu's members wouldn't come looking for trouble.
On the second day after the first round of competition began, Chu Fann received a call from Uncle Ding.
"Uncle Ding, what's the matter?"
Chu Fann was making breakfast for Chen Mengyao and Qiao Xue in the kitchen. When he answered the phone, he was flustered and his phone almost fell into the pot.
"Second Young Master, our Tianmen Mansion is in the east region of the sea in Su Fang City. There is a supermarket that has been targeted." Uncle Ding said in a deep voice.
"Haha, there is actually someone who wants to kill me first. Where does this confidence come from?" Chu Fann grinned and said, "Did you find out who did it?"
"It was not a young master from a direct line, but a young master from a branch." Uncle Ding said in a flat tone.
"A branch?"
Chu Fann frowned. He was surprised.
The Chu family had been passed down for many years. Apart from the direct disciples, Chu Tianxiong's brothers and sisters had grown branches and leaves after they left the Chu family. They could be considered a branch of the Chu family.
The outstanding Chu's members in these branches were also qualified to participate in the family heir competition after completing the trial given by the family.
However, they were different from the direct descendants. Among the direct descendants, all of Chu Fann's brothers and sisters, other than Chu Feng, who was still young, could participate in the competition.
Of course, there were more than one or two outstanding Chu's members in the branch.
However, each branch had to first undergo an internal selection to determine the most outstanding person before they could represent this branch to participate in the competition for the successor.
It was obvious how difficult it was.
Chu Fann did not expect that before his brothers and sisters could attack him, they would be targeted by the branch.
"I got it. Send the information to my phone. I'll take a look later." When he came back to his senses, Chu Fann said plainly.
Uncle Ding answered and hung up the phone.
A moment later, Chu Fann received an email on his phone. It was a message from the person who had sent the message to him.
Coincidentally, Chu Fann had also prepared breakfast. He woke Chen Mengyao and Qiao Xue up. He sat on the sofa with a fried dough stick in his mouth. He looked at the email sent by Uncle Ding while eating leisurely.
After reading the email carefully, Chu Fann knocked on the arm of the sofa thoughtfully.
The person who attacked him first this time was a young man from the Chu family branch called Chu Hongyu.
"Hiss... I've never heard of this name before. Why are you using me? I want to watch the fire from across the shore." Chu Fann shook his head with a smile and said to himself.
"Mr Chu Fann, what are you mumbling about?"
At this time, Chen Menggang walked to Chu Fann's side with a bowl of shiny egg noodles and asked curiously.
Chu Fann didn't hide anything and told her everything.
He originally thought Chen Mengyao would ask him something more professional, but he did not expect this silly girl to actually ask, "Mr Chu Fann, why are the names of you and your brothers two words? Chu Fann, Chu Yun, Chu Tian, but the names of the people in this branch are three words?"
"Cough cough......"
Hearing this, Chu Fann almost choked on the fried dough sticks in his mouth.
It was not because he was shocked by Chen Mengyao's question, but because of her sharp observation skills.
Indeed, all of Chu Fann's brothers and sisters' names were written in two words.
This was not only because they were brothers, but also because there was a more important reason.
The Chu family had been passed down for many years, and the internal division was very clear. The names of Chu Fann and his brothers were one of the symbols of the stem family.
As for the disciples of the Chu family branch family, their names were at least three words.
If any branch family dared to name them, it would be a blasphemy to the dignity of the stem family.
Once discovered, they would be removed from the list of the Chu Family and stripped of all identities related to the Chu family.
Chen Mengyao couldn't help but be speechless when she heard this.
She never thought that there would be such an abnormal rule. After all, the Chu family was a great family that had been passed down for a hundred years. The taboo was simply incomprehensible.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Her face turned red with a swoosh. However, she only opened her mouth and didn't say what she wanted to say.
"What, what do you want to ask?"
Chu Fann keenly noticed the change in the girl's expression and asked with a smile.
"I..."
Chen Mengyao bit her alluring lips and said in a soft voice, "I want to know how to name our children in the future. Is there such a rule for numbers?"
Chu Fann smiled at first and then shook his head helplessly.
"Silly girl, it is too early to think about this kind of thing now. You have to look at me. In this Heirloom Competition, Did you win?"
"If I win, I will be the next head of the Chu Family. Then the name of our children will be two words, and the children of my brothers can also be two words. But it's only limited to their children. Their names will no longer be in the form of two words. "
"It's fine if you don't explain this kind of thing. Once you explain it, even Chu Fann himself felt that it was a bit cumbersome.
However, since this set of rules could be passed down in Chu family for a hundred years, it meant that it had its own reasons.
For example, why did the disciples of the stem family, who had failed the competition to inherit the throne, continue to retain their identity as the stem family?
Perhaps they were afraid that the large number of branch families would threaten the status of the stem family.
"Alright, you and Ms Xue stay at home and play. I'm going to the Eastern Sea Region." After finishing the remaining fried dough sticks in one go, Chu Fann stood up and said.2
This was the first time he had fought Branch member from the Chu family. Chu Fann wanted to take a look personally.
If he found out that his strength was ordinary, he would immediately return to the manor and leave it to his subordinates to deal with.
If it was interesting, he wouldn't mind discussing seniority with that person personally. It should be his cousin, Chu Hongyu. He wanted to have a good time.
Anyway, it was just the beginning of the game, so no one would interfere in other people's fights at this time. This was because once they entered the game, no one would interfere. It meant that they would be easily attacked from both sides.
Chu Fann was not worried that someone would come and cause trouble.
