C555 At the Venue of the Big Boastful Talk
The Chu Family in Zhonghai had arranged a corner for Mu Chen. No one would pay attention to this place.
Mu Chen wasn't really interested in the annual meeting of the Chu Family.
Although it was a grand event for the Chu Family, it wasn't worth mentioning in Mu Chen's eyes.
Therefore, Mu Chen didn't have any objections to the arrangement of the Chu Family in Zhonghai.
Thus, he sat there and observed the situation around the venue.
It had to be said that the Chu Family in Shenhai Island was very attentive to the setting up of the annual meeting of the Chu Family in the country. They were generous and well-decorated, and their imposing manner was comparable to the 10th year of Shenhai Island's city celebration.
The annual meeting of the Chu Clan in the country was not something that could be attended as long as one's surname was Chu. Those who could be ranked in the top ten factions of the Chu Clan in the country.
For example, the Chu Clan of Shenhai Island, the Chu Clan of Nanhu, the Chu Clan of Lingnan...
The head of the Chu Clan, who was ranked in the top ten, was qualified to sit in the front row.
As for those who had fallen out of the top ten and were ranked in the top twenty, they were qualified to sit in the second row.
So on and so forth.
After reaching the top fifty, they were not qualified to enter the National Chu Clan Assembly.
Three armchair chairs were placed on the tall and majestic rostrum.
Only those who possessed supreme status in the entire Chu Clan could sit there.
Mu Chen, on the other hand, was very curious as to who would sit on the three armchair chairs.
"The old ancestor has arrived!"
Just as Mu Chen was deep in thought, a voice sounded.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a Tang suit, seemed to be in good spirits. Under the escort of two young boys and girls, he walked to the main platform and sat on the armchair in the middle.
This was the ancestor of the entire Chu family, Chu Guitian. It was said that he was born in the late Qing era and had witnessed countless historical events in Great Xia. He was already a hundred and fifty years old.
Although he was old, his hands and feet were very nimble.
He leaned on a dragon-headed crutch and sat on the armchair. He squinted his eyes and looked around the entire venue.
"Disciple and grand-disciple pay their respects to the old ancestor!"
As soon as Chu Guitian appeared, the entire Chu Family immediately knelt down and kowtowed, greeting Chu Guitian.
Only Mu Chen was still sitting there.
Mu Chen's actions frightened Chu Zhiping, who was kneeling on the other side.
He was still in Mu Chen's position in a relatively remote area, so Chu Guitian did not pay attention to him.
"All of you, get up!" Chu Gutian waved his hand.
All of the Chu family members in the country stood up.
As the host, Chu Ren Xiong walked forward and said respectfully to Chu Guitian, "Ancestor, today is the annual national annual Chu Clan Assembly. Please give your disciples a lecture!"
"Okay." Chu Guitian nodded and said, "Our Chu Clan has developed to its current scale. We have one Royal Clan, three Prospective Royal Clans, and dozens of Wealthy Class Clans. All the branches here have contributed greatly!"
"However, even though all the branches are separated, the Chu Clan is able to be so powerful because of the achievements of your branches."
"This way, just like last year, let's report our results first!"
As soon as Chu Guitian said this, there was a commotion below the chairman's stage.
For the major branches of the Chu Family, the more powerful their achievements and strength were, the more they would be admired by Chu Guitian, thus allowing their branch of the Chu Family to sit firmly at the top of the country's Chu Family.
For the major branches of the Chu Family, this was the best time to show their faces every year.
"Old Ancestor, let me speak first." At this time, Chu Ren Xing stood up and said, "Our Southern Lake Chu Clan is located in the middle of the Central Plains. Although our geographical position is not as advantageous as the Chu Clan in Zhonghai, after our efforts, the Southern Lake Chu Clan can be considered to have made some achievements."
"Oh?" Seeing Chu Renxing's confident appearance, Chu Guitian immediately became interested and said, "Tell me about it."
"In terms of politics, our Southern Lake Chu family has two deputy prefects and a deputy inspector. This deputy inspector has a high chance of being promoted to a governor in the next term."
When Chu Ren Xing finished speaking, the crowd below the stage went into an uproar.
Chu Guitian nodded slightly and stroked his beard as he said, "The Southern Lake Chu family has produced two Vice Prefects and a Deputy Inspector. This is amazing!"
It was different from the director or the section chief. Both the inspector and the prefectural magistrate were important officials in their respective fields. They were called parental officials. It could be said that they held real power in their hands, which was why the entire Chu Family was in shock.
Even though he was only a deputy.
With this layer of foundation, Chu Ren Xing was even more proud. "As for the business world, it's the South Lake Chamber of Commerce's three presidents. Our Southern Lake Chu family takes one seat. The top ten young entrepreneurs this year come from the Southern Lake Chu family. "
"Mm, not bad indeed." Chu Gutian was very satisfied with such an achievement.
"However," Chu Ren Xing continued, "Although our Southern Lake Chu Family has made great contributions in the political and business world, the military is slightly weaker. Only one deputy commander of the Southern Lake Garrison Command comes from the Southern Lake Chu Family."
"Hiss ~ ~"
Hearing Chu Ren Xing's words, Chu Ren Xiong couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The Chu Clan of Nanhu produced a deputy commander of the Southern Lake Garrison Command, and he actually called it weak?
One had to know that the deputy commander was one of the high ranking generals in the army, and the lowest rank was a senior colonel.
This old fox, Chu Ren Xing, really played it well with Versailles Literature.
As expected, when the other branches of the Chu Family heard this, they all had envious expressions on their faces.
Hearing Chu Renxing announce these achievements, Chu Renxiong did not have confidence in himself.
After all, over the years, the development of the Chu Family in Zhonghai was indeed a little troublesome.
If they were to compare, the Chu Family in Zhonghai would definitely be inferior to the Southern Lake Chu Family.
As a Royal Clan, it was actually defeated by a Prospective Royal Clan. This would make Chu Ren Xiong lose a lot of face.
"Not bad, not bad." Chu Guitian nodded and said, "The Chu Clan of Nanhu is indeed powerful this year. At this rate, breaking through to the Royal Clan is only a matter of time."
"Ren Xing, don't worry. The old ancestor will do his best to support the Southern Lake Chu Family this year. All kinds of resources will be given priority to the Southern Lake Chu Family!"
"At that time, our Chu Clan will have two Royal Clans!"
"Thank you, ancestor!" Chu Renxing respectfully bowed to Chu Guitian, then looked at Chu Renxiong and said with a playful expression, "Brother Ren Xiong, as the head of the Royal Family, it should be your Chu Clan's turn to report, right?"
Chu Guitian also looked at Chu Renxiong and said with a smile, "As a Royal Family, I believe that the Chu Family in Zhonghai will be more powerful!"
Chu Guitian's earnest anticipation made Chu Renxiong feel a little awkward.2
However, Chu Ren Xiong immediately thought of Chu Zhiquan and immediately became more spirited. He raised his head and said: "In the past year, the strength of my Zhonghai's Chu Family in the military, political, and business world has indeed not reached the level of the Southern Lake Chu Family!"
"However, although the Chu Family in Zhonghai has declined, there is still one person worthy of being used. That is my seventh grandson, Chu Zhiquan!"
