Although he asked this question, his mind was clear about the reason for their arrival.This was all thanks to him.After Han Xingye sent a text message asking for help, Han Tuosu told her that Old Li Y...Chapter 236: Su Fuhua Steps In Personally!

"If you're a man, take responsibility." Su Tianqi, who had just gotten up, also made his voice heard.

"I agree with Senior Sister Qingli."

"Grandpa, I agree too."

"Big Grandfather, in such an urgent and critical moment for our Su family, we cannot entrust the fate of our family to young people. The risk is simply too great; it's like gambling!"

"I agree."

"We could have multiple people jointly oversee operations."

"Why don't we follow the EU model and rotate a chairman every two months, seeing who performs better"

...

The number of people stepping up to support Su Qingli was growing. Su Tianran continued staring straight ahead, seemingly indifferent but inwardly sighing heavily.

This family had been at the pinnacle for far too long, so much so that they forgot how their ancestors fought through blood and death to achieve today’s success. If they were content with resting on their laurels, then the only outcome would be extinction.

Looking at his so-called siblings again, Su Tianran sighed heavily once more. Could a family like this possibly continue thriving solely based on the efforts of one or two individuals

A group of Do-Witts.

But just as Su Tianran stood alone, a clear voice rang out: "I disagree."

Su Tianming, second in line, stepped forward to stand beside Su Tianran. In his military uniform, he was as straight and tall as an arrow.

Su Tianran looked at his brother with a hint of relief in his eyes.

"Rebellion! What do you intend to do" Su Fudan struggled to stand up and shouted weakly.

But Su Fuhua kept his eyes narrowed, looking at the group of Su family members who were the future and hope of their clan. Yet now they fought amongst themselves over a position, turning brother against brother.

In this moment of utmost need for unity, they chose division instead.

The internal strife within the Su family was the scene that Su Fuhua least wanted to see.

Wealth does not last beyond three generations; it is indeed easier to start a business than to sustain one.

"All of you, disperse. Disperse," said Su Fuhua as the gleam in his eyes gradually faded.

"But Grandfather..." Su Qingli continued to insist and tried to say something more but was silenced by a glare from Su Beijiang.

As a Deputy Minister of National Defense, Su Beijiang exuded an aura of authority; a piercing gaze made Su Qingli break out in cold sweat and stop talking.

Su Tianran shook his head upon seeing the lonely old figure of his grandfather bent slightly with age, sighing for the fourth time.

The Su family's turbulent times had finally arrived at the doorstep of every member of the family.

Although the Su family was large and influential, with deep-rooted foundations, due to overly單一的產業結構，導致了風險增加和經濟抵抗力減弱。蘇天燃上台後一直致力於豐富產業結構並調整家族產業，目前初步見效。然而，在這個關鍵時刻，支撐著蘇家經濟的兩大支柱——中鼎燃氣和三大鑽石品牌突然倒下，財力來源驟降大半，這讓蘇天燃的產業結構調整計劃顯得捉襟見肘。

如果說之前的王錚是螞蟻、蘇家是大象的話，那麼現在吞併了中鼎燃氣的王錚，在上官家族、首都韓家、西北李家和東南賀家以及國外財團的支援下，已成長為一隻猛虎，帶著鋒利牙齒的猛虎，與元氣大傷的大象相比，已經具備了一決高下的實力。

正要離開的老爺子突然轉身對大廳中那些不甘心的蘇氏子弟說：“如果讓我知道還有誰敢在這個關鍵時刻鬨分裂的話，我會把他永遠逐出蘇家。”

儘管語氣平淡，但這些話對於蘇清漓和蘇天涯等人來說無異於當頭棒喝，他們的冷汗立刻從頭上冒了出來。

"Tianran and Tianming, come with me."

說完，老爺子轉身離開。蘇天燃掃了一眼那些所謂的兄弟姐妹們，看到了他們眼中嫉妒的火焰，並冷笑一聲走出大廳。

至於蘇天明，則表情冷漠，挺直胸膛目不斜視地跟在蘇天燃身後走出大廳。

"Favoritism, this is clearly favoritism!" Su Tianya spat out in anger. "Grandfather has always favored them the most since childhood. Even now, he still shows such bias; it's too unreasonable!"

Wrapping her arms around herself, Su Qingli said, "In light of the current situation, there are no fallback options left. If we want to prevent the Su family from collapsing under Tianran’s management, then we must unite now and oust Tianran."

The people remaining in the hall were all those who had stood with Su Qingli earlier; therefore, she spoke without restraint.

"We can't just watch as the Su family comes to ruin! We need to take action!"

Su Tianqi also brushed off the dust from his pants and said, "Get some naked photos of Su Tianran and spread them online. Give a close-up shot of one specific part so that he won't dare leave home."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone's gaze towards Su Tianqi became somewhat sympathetic; this guy had truly been corrupted into being brainless.

"Actually, we could give it a try." Su Qingli and Su Tianya exchanged glances and nodded. They had already thought of something similar in their hearts just now.

"Indeed, it's feasible," said Su Tianya. "Grandpa values his face more than anything else; if the heir to our family is involved in such scandalous events, no matter what, Grandpa will surely replace him."

"We need to think carefully about this issue." After pondering for a moment, Su Qingli said, "Actually, as long as we persist a bit longer, Old Master will eventually be forced to change his mind."

...

"Tianran, how do you view today's events" Sitting on the room’s chairman’s chair, Su Fuhua asked. Both Su Fudan and Su Fulian were present beside him, while Su Beijiang and Su Nan Guo weren’t in the room.

"Grandpa, are you referring to the diamond mine incident or their united opposition against me" Su Tianran wasn't sure what his grandfather meant.

"Both."

"Regarding the diamond mine issue, I didn't expect them to reach that place," Su Tianran spoke the truth, feeling somewhat ashamed: "This was my mistake. I focused too much on the direct confrontation and allowed our opponents to raid our base."

Su Fuhua waved his hand dismissively: "It's not your fault; after all, there haven't been any incidents in South Africa for many years, plus security is quite strict there. Such an occurrence is indeed out of our expectations."

Upon hearing that the elder wasn’t blaming him over this matter, Su Tianran breathed a sigh of relief; his heart, which had been beating fiercely, gradually calmed down. He couldn't explain why, but each time he faced his grandfather, Su Tianran always felt an immense pressure, suffocatingly so.

"How do you intend to proceed with the situation in the future Have you thought it through" Su Fuhua narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Phantom Spirit will definitely launch a large-scale attack and declare war on the three major brands. I plan to raise funds; if the three major brands can survive this period, there's still hope for us to turn things around."

"Where do you think you'll get such large sums of money" Su Fuhua squinted his eyes again with a slightly lowered voice: "Are you planning on putting our family’s reserves at risk"

"Grandpa, rest assured. That sum of money is our family's foundation; I won't touch it," said Su Tianran. "I'll find ways to raise funds and pool investments from other industries into this one. With some loans added in as well, there shouldn’t be any problems handling this matter. Moreover, we still have a substantial inventory domestically which should suffice for quite some time."

Su Fuhua said, "Alright then; the diamond mine issue will now fall under your full responsibility."

"I will never disappoint Grandpa." Su Tianran said firmly.

"What about the other matter" Su Fuhua asked again.

"I’ll prove to them that Grandpa’s choice was right," Su Tianran’s eyes gleamed with determination.

Su Fuhua said, "You don’t need to prove anything to them. I believe in you. If necessary, use some stern measures and say it's my authority. As for those two rascals, Tianya and Tianqi, I’ll handle them personally."

With that said, Su Tianran clenched his fists tightly: "Tianran thanks Grandpa!"

The second son, Su Fudan, showed a look of helplessness when Su Fuhua mentioned severe punishment for the other descendants, because Su Qingli was his granddaughter.

"I want our Su family to be peaceful and harmonious, even if it's just on the surface. Do you understand" Su Fuhua said as he stared at Su Tianran.

"Understood."

Su Fuhua continued: "And the prerequisite for that harmony is power—power so great that others can only look up to you. A weak country has no diplomacy; it’s the same within a family. If our Su family continues to be bullied, we’ll end up scattered like monkeys when a tree falls."

Su Tianran smiled bitterly at his grandfather's metaphor.

“Third matter,” Su Fuhua asked: “Concerning Wang Zheng.”

"About him" Just mentioning this guy gave Su Tianran a headache.

Su Fuhua stared into Su Tianran’s eyes, asking in a penetrating manner: "Tell me the truth, how many times did you send people to kill Wang Zheng"

Su Tianran smiled bitterly and said, "Three times. All failed. I can’t hide anything from Grandpa."

"Three times—all failed," Su Fuhua narrowed his eyes; he knew the character of his eldest grandson well enough to know that if he set a trap, it would be an unbreakable one. Wang Zheng’s ability to escape Su Tianran’s assassination attempts could only mean two things: either Su Tianran underestimated him or Wang Zheng was far more capable than imagined.

“You did the right thing; such people will indeed be less trouble if they disappear sooner.”

Su Fuhua paused before continuing, "As for dealing with Wang Zheng, I’ll discuss it further with your second grandfather. You don’t need to worry about this."

A glimmer of light appeared in Su Tianran’s eyes—could his old man be planning to take matters into his own hands after all these yearsan objected."Don't act so serious; one might mistake you for someone who's experienced love." Wang Zheng looked at her with disdain."Y-You..." Shishi Shangguan argued, "I know this feeling!"In reality...
