The eldest son's courtyard of the Wang family in Longcheng, which used to have dozens of people when the fire opened at night, now looks very deserted and even a little gloomy.

Wang Tiannan died, Xiaoqin also died, Wang Zonghan's physical condition was even more worrying, the atmosphere in the entire compound was very depressing, and many people who worked here felt that they were uncomfortable staying here, so they resigned. Usually, only Wang Zonghan's other children and two people in charge took turns to take care of the sick patriarch.

Indoors.

Wang Zonghan, who lost more than 30 pounds, looked a little weird and scary. His face was pale, his lips were purple, his eyes were sunken, and his limbs trembled with every movement.

"Don't sit up, lie down." Wang Zongxiao stretched out his hand to help him.

"I didn't ...... All right......! Wang Zonghan gasped violently, and said to his children and the people in charge: "You go out, I'll talk to the fourth child." ”

Everyone looked at each other and left silently.

"Yes...... Is there smoke? Wang Zonghan turned his head to look at his brother and asked.

"Stop smoking." Wang Zongxiao frowned and refused.

"The one who deserves to die is not bad on this cigarette." Wang Zonghan stretched out his trembling palm and wiped his face vigorously: "Give me the whole one!" ”

Wang Zongxiao pondered for a while, lowered his head and took out a cigarette case, and helped him light one and put it on his mouth.

Wang Zonghan took a deep puff of his cigarette, his body that had been shaking, and inexplicably became calm: "Fourth, while I can still speak...... Talk, we brothers have to make a big decision. ”

"What's the big deal?" Wang Zongxiao asked.

"I ...... I don't have many days left," Wang Zonghan coughed twice and replied gaspingly: "You have to take over this stall at home." ”

"Oh, don't be cranky. Didn't the doctor check it? You're not seriously ill....... Wang Zongxiao frowned and was about to persuade a few words.

"My illness is in my heart." Wang Zonghan shook his head slowly: "Fourth, your eldest brother can't get over this hurdle......." ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the room, and Wang Zongxiao looked at him speechless for a long time.

"Dad is gone, Tiannan is gone, Xiaoqin is gone, and even Zong Xiang and I haven't taken care of ......." Wang Zonghan lowered his head and shed tears in a daze: "I have been mixed up until today, and my family is ruined." ”

Wang Zongxiao held his arm, but still didn't answer, he knew that some things could be persuaded, and some things could not be persuaded, even if the two were brothers.

"When Dad was alive, you were the most important among his sons." Wang Zonghan lowered his head, and tears fell: "A few years ago, he actually didn't want to take care of things, and talked to me in private several times, always tentatively asking me if I want you to come back from Nanhu and take care of the family's affairs with me." I know that Dad wants you to take over his class the most, but ...... But I'm selfish, fourth, I want to be the patriarch. ”

"Don't talk about that."

"Dad asked me tentatively many times, but I didn't answer, and he also knew in his heart that I wanted to take over." When Wang Zonghan said this, he broke down emotionally and cried bitterly: "It's all sons, he doesn't favor anyone, so he never mentioned this matter again, just mentioned how I should be a good patriarch...... Fourth, I regret it, I'm really inferior to you! If I don't have this selfishness, let you come back from Nanhu as soon as possible to become this patriarch...... Maybe the family won't be scattered, Dad, Tiannan, Xiaoqin...... Zong Xiang: None of them will die. ”

When Wang Zongxiao heard this, his eyes were red and he turned his head to look to the side.

“…… I have to do my best to clean up the third room, and I am also selfish. That...... In fact, I already knew that Dad's death must not have been done by Wang Zongtang, he just wanted to set up his own door, and he would never dare to rebel in such a way on the surface...... I have to clean him up, on the one hand, I am haunted by Tiannan's death, and on the other hand, I ...... I also want to win the third room and quickly establish my position as the patriarch...... I know that some of our brothers disagree with me, and even Zong Xiang may not necessarily support me in this position ...... heart. Wang Zonghan covered his cheeks with his shriveled palm, crying very sadly: "It's me who is greedy for power, and it's me who thinks too much about Wang Zongtang and Qin Yu...... If we don't fight hard, why are we here? I killed them...... Fourth! ”

Wang Zonghan has no way to say these words to his children, let alone to confess to those relatives of the Wang family. The guilt, self-blame, remorse and other emotions in his heart, those dark sides, have been held back for a long time.

"Fourth...... This home weighed on me so hard that I couldn't breathe ....... Wang Zonghan's voice trembled: "I handed it over to you." ”

Wang Zongxiao stood by the bed and watched his every move, and his heart became inexplicably desperate. He knew his eldest brother's character, and he also understood that it would be difficult for him to come out......

The two brothers, after talking for more than an hour, Wang Zonghan was lying on the bed, called his children, as well as the relatives of the second and fourth rooms, and explained a lot of things to them.

……

The next day, Wang Zongxiao personally went to a well-known private hospital in Fengbei to invite a medical team to treat Wang Zonghan in Longcheng, but it was of little use.

A month later.

Wang Zonghan died of illness at home at one o'clock in the morning, and when he died, he was less than 100 catties.

After the funeral, Wang Zongxiao went to Nanhu on a special trip to find the upper echelons of the garrison, and quickly completed the resignation procedures.

After another week, Wang Zongxiao took over the position of patriarch and held a meeting with the backbone of the clan at home.

At the top of the conference room, Wang Zongxiao swept towards everyone expressionlessly, and said softly: "Say a few directions." First, no matter what happened before, from now on, we should not take the initiative to provoke any conflict with Wang Zongtang's side. Once I find out that someone is deliberately stirring up trouble and making trouble, I will definitely punish him severely. Second, the focus of development in the next five years will be in the district, and we will reduce the number of industries outside the zone and gradually move our domestic business into the mainstream. Third, the main family industry should be reformed, from the business model of each management to the unified management of the newly established group, and a professional management team should be hired to measure whether these people in our family have the ability to sit in the office and give orders. ”

When the words fell, the faces of the people in the family became a little ugly, because most of them held the titles of factory director and manager, but they were messing around all day long. If Wang Zongxiao wants to do this, won't they stay away from the center of power?

"Don't be unbalanced, don't feel like I'm targeting anyone." Wang Zongxiao frowned and said: "Reform or not reform others, start with my family, my wife, and my relatives." If they don't do a good job, I'll do the same to them, and everyone will supervise. ”

When they heard this, they were speechless.

……

Meanwhile.

Songjiang was also lively, because Tiancheng Security Company had been officially established, and the ribbon was cut three days later.
