"oh?"

Zhao Yi put away his joking expression and his face became serious and serious.

He suddenly realized that Ace was facing actual problems, which were much more serious than he thought. But no matter what, he was his friend after all. Although he didn't deal with each other many times, he was trustworthy.

"Please...please help me. No matter what your ally, partner, or friend you are, in short, please help me-"

Ace looked a little nervous. He stood on the table with his arms, put his right hand into his mouth, and kept gnawing on his nails with his teeth. This bad habit of unhygienic was obviously formed in his childhood. Although he was often self-control, it always became prominent unconsciously. From the perspective of a psychoanalyst, this is actually a way to relax the tension and fear of the inner world.

He kept his fists tightly and kept leaning on his fingers, as if only the crisp bangs from the joints could make his confused mind feel a little necessary sober.

"Don't be anxious, just talk about it slowly, what's going on?"

Zhao Yi handed over a cup of espresso without sugar and replaced it with the cup that was already empty in front of Ace. For those who have become confused, this is a very effective refreshing drink.

After drinking the thick black liquid in the cup for a few sips, Ace's decadent spirit was also revived. Perhaps to make his body feel cooler, he pulled the sweaty buttons on his collar and looked at Zhao Yi with a noticeable gaze: "I know, your current situation is very difficult. However, I am really desperate now and can only rely on your help to overcome this crisis."

......

The cause of the contradiction is very simple. Like all big families, Ace's family also faces the problem that cannot be controlled by himself - who will inherit the family business?

This is a very sensitive topic and the biggest hidden danger that must be solved within the family.

Wen Yan is the director of the Pyramid Industry Alliance and is also the current leader of the highest power of the Wen family. In Ace's generation, the Wen family has four heirs - except for those who have died for various reasons, among the other heirs, there are the eldest Wen Yong, the second star Wen Guang, the third Ace, and the fourth Wen Xiang.

This is just the ranking within the family. In fact, there are six direct blood relatives between Ace and Wen Yong. But except for Wen Guang, who is still alive, the rest of the people either died of accidents during childbirth or were deprived of inheritance for various reasons.

Wen Yong, the eldest son of the Wen family, was a very unlucky guy. Just half a month ago, because he was fond of a woman, he was very unfortunately shot and bursting bullets in a big caliber. From below his neck to his abdomen, his whole body was blown to pieces. Except for a fairly intact head and two straightened thighs, he couldn't even find any extra meat on his body. In this way, a rich man who was originally a good man was gone.

But he was also very lucky - the Wen family's wealth is as rich as the country's country's property, and human medicine that is more advanced than any historical period, enabled the doctor to save some of Wen Yong's self-awareness from the brain fragments rescued on the spot. Relying on this patch of repaired broken organs and through implantation and cultivation of human bodies, Wen Yong was barely alive. But in terms of wisdom, it was only equivalent to a child about five years old.

The second brother Wenguang is also very unlucky.

A car accident ten years ago made him lie on the bed and become a vegetable. According to federal law, although he also has the same power to inherit his family property, then again, which family head would be assured to hand over everything to a sleeping person to take care of? Therefore, in this battle where there is no family affection at all, Wen Guang naturally became a runner.

But no matter what, Wen Yong and Wen Guang have the right to inherit. In this regard, as long as Wen Yan himself does not express his opinion, federal laws will always maintain the effect they deserve.

In fact, there are only two people who compete for Ace and Wen Xiang - the heirs who rank behind him. He is absolutely sure to maintain an advantage.

Ace has always been the general manager and CEO of "Vin's" company. He has managed all aspects of the company in an orderly manner. In the years he took over the company's supervisor, his business scope has also expanded to almost the entire universe. Whether it is the major administrative stars of the Earth Federation or the territory of the Pan-United Empire, the shadow of various shopping malls hanging with the "Vin's" logo can be seen. From this aspect alone, Ace is undoubtedly an excellent manager. With his efforts, the group's annual profit has increased by 16% compared to the previous year. In the Federation, where the economic situation is increasingly depressed, this is definitely a number that can be regarded as a number that can stand out and be arrogant to any opponent.

Handsome, upright, strict in control, fair in character... All of this is the private evaluation of him by his subordinates.

Ace never robs the credit of his subordinates, and will give the other party the rewards they deserve according to how much they pay. In this way, all of them, from employees to shareholders, praised the young man very much. At the shareholders' annual wealth report meeting, people even proposed to directly promote Ace to become the president of the group so that he has the most direct personnel immunity and economic control. They also believe that "Vin" will create richer wealth under the leadership of Ace.

Wen Yan never expressed any opinions on this. He seemed to be just observing his son silently and secretly comparing who was better among them. This silence without comments should be acquiesce to his own efforts, and also stimulated him to invest more enthusiasm in family affairs.

As early as when he first took over the "Wenshi", Ace had already expected that there would be a house dispute. Therefore, all his actions were based on this issue. Of course, this does not mean how deep his scheming was. Taking care of the relevant matters of the consortium and adding more wealth chips to the family is also the obligation of all family members. He just completed this work better so that people would subconsciously choose themselves when they saw the numbers and achievements.

This is not a so-called conspiracy at all. It is an unscrupulous conspiracy. As long as I do well, others will have nothing to say. In the face of achievements and facts, all the secret methods will lose their due effect.

After all, the family does not need an incompetent heir. They will not accept a candid who is lazy and candid and wait to die.

It should be admitted that Ace's plan is perfect. He correctly estimated people's thinking orientation and could also grasp the shareholders' desire for wealth and their demands for profits. Therefore, his status and naturally improved unprecedentedly.

In contrast, his younger brother Wen Xiang lost more points in this regard. He couldn't even talk about any score. The four words "playboy" are the best explanation and symbol of him. Although he occasionally pays attention to the operation of the company and the source of wealth, it is only for himself. According to Wen's rules, he owns 5% of the shares of the "Wenshi" consortium. There is also a part of him in the annual dividend statement.

Ace persuaded and preached her brother who only causes trouble and is arrogant and domineering. Although he knew very well that doing so would not have any effect at all, it would only arouse more disgust and anger from the other party. You should know that even an idiot doesn't like others to point fingers at his actions.

Ace is just making an attitude, a look that looks loyal and kind.

When Wen Xiang does evil, he always stands up, accuses the other party with righteous words, and kicks at the right time. Of course, his "good deeds" are also very standard. For example, Wen Xiang forced and raped a helpless girl, he would come forward to give the poor girl a sum of money and save his younger brother from lawsuits and scandal disputes. Or when Wen Xiang fights and commits a fight, he will also stand up to calm the public's anger. Although the compensation is not much, it can make people feel that there is a huge contrast between the two young masters of the Wen family. Yongxiang does evil and do good forever. Over time, the people who support Ace naturally stand in the absolute majority.

This is a trick. Some people may say that he is despicable, and some may say that he is smart. But everyone will admit that this method works very well. Especially when winning people's hearts and gaining necessary support, a candidate with kindness and wisdom on the outside is always much better than a prodigal son with bad deeds and either a traitor or a thief.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ace will undoubtedly be the next chairman of the "Wenshi" consortium. Not only everyone, but even he himself thinks so.

After all, compared to him, Wen Xiang, who is invincible, cannot be put on the table at all.

......

Zhao Yi stared at the coffee cup in front of him, his eyes full of doubts and worries.

“Wen Yan…”

He chanted this name gently. In the current human society, the director of the Pyramid Industrial Alliance means the incarnation of power and wealth, and is also the core of countless disputes and troubles. In the eyes of outsiders, the parties involved in the vortex are actually synonyms of happiness. They have the most expensive sports cars, mansions, countless banknotes. The gold piled up into mountains, and various beauties are always around them. Just a look or a gesture can determine the life and death of a person. Their power is like a king, and its power is comparable to a country. It is the noblest existence that truly exceeds society and is above the overall framework of mankind, and is full of envy and jealousy.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly - he knew better than anyone that this was just a beautiful halo on the surface. For example, he: Although he owned a whole planet, his name was as many as billions of dollars. However, these things were not as powerful as imagined. Yes, they could indeed determine the life and death of some people on the surface, but they could also bring more trouble to themselves. Only by converting them into substance or the power that can be completely controlled is the real wealth.

When Zhao Yi was on the industrial planet "Blue Ocean Dream", he once met Wen Yan. The man who was thin and had a tough and smart look at his eyes at any time left an extremely deep impression on him.

"You have a respectable father."

For some reason, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered the already cold bones in the s12 underground base. They were all the people closest to him. Of course, there were also fathers who had never met and could only fill the gap in memory from old photos.

"He should be very strict with you, and hold the same and very fair attitude towards everyone in the family. The dispute between you and your brother is actually a normal competition for succession. As an outsider who is not clear about the inside story, I cannot comment on such things. But you should believe him, believe that whenever you do anything, you have a pair of warm eyes, silently watching you behind your back. Of course, you may lose in this battle, but you still have family affection. The kindness and care from your father. This is the most precious gift in the world. Don't question my words - think about your brothers, although they are physically disabled and even no different from a useless person, they can still get the care from their father. You... are no exception."

These words were obviously persuasion, but Zhao Yi also felt sincere jealousy and envy towards Ace. He couldn't help but put his right hand into the inner bag of his shirt, slowly rubbing the yellowed photo he left to him by his parents.

The atmosphere in the room fell into silence. Both men were immersed in their own minds. They did not notice that each other's eyes were slightly wet. But there was a slightly worried smile on the corners of their mouths.

"You're right-"

Ace raised his head calmly: "I should turn my attention to other aspects. Although the first inheritance is important, they... are my family after all."

"You are much luckier than me."

Zhao Yi's face was a little sad, but he also had a faint smile: "At least, you still have relatives."

"Do what I should do, that's the biggest help to me... He's been looking at me, right behind me. I... am his son."

Ace understood Zhao Yi's words.

"Forget those unpleasant things. This world is not just about interests and darkness, but also about a lot worth keeping forever. I don't want you to be at the age of one hundred and twenty to retire. There are no good memories."

Zhao Yi stared at him, his pure black eyes shining brighter than ever: "Remember - if you really encounter some unsolvable difficulties, or when things endanger your own safety... I am your most trustworthy friend."

Ace smiled: "Just because I once lent you a coat?"

"No matter what reason you were for then, at that time, that was what I needed the most."

Zhao Yi's expression was very serious and serious.

......

Deep in the black universe, a fleet of the same black paint slowly sailed.

Several meteorites of various shapes float in the air, pushed by airflow, rolling and moving in different directions. Several remote detectors firmly nailed to the surface of the stone accurately display the specific number and types of ships that constitute the fleet.

Three thousand heavy battleships with powerful firepower, one thousand cruisers, and one thousand destroyers.

The number of such fleets has exceeded the standard configuration of the Federal Patrol Fleet. From the appearance, they are different from any warship produced by the Federation or the Pan-Combined Warship - the bow is taller and the part is thicker. The narrow and long hull still remains in a shuttle shape, but has a closed side jet engine. Especially about three-quarters of the center of the warship, there is also a special mounted box for cargo ships... In short, these ships do not look much combat power, and they are more like transformed armed merchant ships based on heavy transport ships.

Appearance is always the best prop to deceive the world's eyes.

The temporary cargo hold can be abandoned in battle. The space carried in it can carry more cargo, but the more practical effect is still used as camouflage. Only in the core control room in the ship can it be seen from the computer perspective image - this is a "Storm-class battleship unique to the AG64 planet's garrison area.

As for the light ships that form the periphery of the fleet and are responsible for the alert mission, they are also "Hunter" class cruiser "Thunder" destroyers reconstructed through "Miracle". In addition to their speed advantages, their overall comprehensive combat power has exceeded that of similar ships of the two major forces.

Du Tianhao stood on the bridge of the flagship "Blackbeard", holding his hands, looking at the dark universe in the distance expressionlessly. On the central computer screen not far behind him, the remote electronic detectors were constantly changing the scenes around the planet "Norwood".

His figure is still burly and strong, with thick and thick beards accumulated on both sides of his cheeks. They are curled and crowded together, almost covering the entire lips and chin, and the hair extending from both sides of his sideburns connects them to form a whole with the slightly longer hair. At first glance, it seems like a barbarian who has not yet evolved on some primitive planet and is still in a ignorant period.

The flagship is an extremely huge "dreadnought". In addition to Liu Feng, the "Bearded Pirate" is the second fleet to obtain such configuration.

Du Tianhao strives to play his current role - he is a pirate who kills without blinking. He is cruel, barbaric, cold-blooded, and merciless to anyone. Of course, he will always remain absolutely loyal to Zhao Yi.

The Norwood mine is operating in good condition. The ore mining volume has increased by 6% compared to last month. Hundreds of heavy transport ships take off and land every day in the newly built Universe Port. If this progress continues, this huge ore planet will shrink rapidly and may even dig into the internal core. (To be continued! ~!
