Chapter 1581: Change of Identity

Among the group of people, no one except Fang Tian could imagine that Old Buffon would abandon the Butterfly Family Master Wang Songshan and run quickly towards Yang Ming!

At this moment, the Buffon Family patriarch’s elegance was completely absent. His hurried appearance looked like a child who was in trouble and eager to admit his mistakes, or a child who was in a hurry to cause trouble.

If it wasn’t for that moment when Old Buffon’s image coincided with the impression in his mind, Wang Songshan would never think that this person was the Buffon Family patriarch at all.

Old Buffon’s actions and manners were extremely different from the legendary patriarch image of upper society’s top families. Everyone was especially surprised by Old Buffon’s words!

“Master, master’s wife,” Old Buffon said panting, “It’s our fault for letting both of you welcome us while we sat in the car. We didn’t know beforehand, so please don’t blame us! ”

Yang Ming was instantly speechless and Wang Xiaoyan beside him didn’t know whether to cry or laugh! Apparently, this old fellow stopped the car halfway and ran up because both of us greeted them in person? We even had some inexplicable speculations about why he stopped the car. I even thought that his car broke down and never thought about this reason!

“Your car did not breakdown?” Wang Xiaoyan reached out her hand and supported her smooth forehead. She felt a sense of dizziness, “Isn’t this just delaying time?”

“About that… Master’s wife, how can we dare sit when both you and master are standing here!” Old Buffon explained hurriedly. The master’s wife’s expression doesn’t seem to be very happy. Was it wrong to stop the car?

Master? Master’s wife? Except for Fang Tian who knew everything, Wang Songshan, Wang Ruoshui and Butler Mu were completely dumbfounded! The dignified Buffon Family patriarch is actually Yang Ming’s disciple? Moreover… He actually called Miss the master’s wife and it seems like he also knows Miss… Isn’t this world too crazy?

Since when did the Butterfly Family inexplicably have such a strong background? The current patriarch of such a big family is actually a disciple of the family’s Miss and son-in-law!

Wang Songshan was emotionally moved. He had felt Yang Ming’s great power before this. Wang Songshan knew that he would benefit from his daughter’s marriage with Yang Ming, but he never thought that the benefits would be so great! In the future, the Butterfly Family’s popularity might reach an unprecedented level!

The reason why Wang Songshan wanted to develop the Butterfly Family into the first ranked assassin family desperately was that the Butterfly Family’s prestige in upper society was simply a result of their special characteristics. They were not well accepted by other families. They all maintained a sense of mystery and awe. They often just spoke a few words and kept a distance from them.

Therefore, the Butterfly Family was never able to truly integrate into upper society. Wang Songshan had no choice but to work hard on the assassin route as he wanted the family to develop better! Other families wouldn’t even bother when they wanted a business cooperation because these families had a kind of respect towards them but did not want to deal with them!

However, the Butterfly Family would no longer be at a disadvantage in upper society with the support of the Old Buffon and the Buffon Family. They would improve by more than one level.

Wang Songshan was completely excited as he thought of it. He wanted to hold Old Buffon’s hand immediately and greet him nicely, hoping that he could help the Butterfly Family more in the future for the sake of Yang Ming’s respect. The Butterfly Family would reap the benefits endlessly!

It had to be clear that Old Buffon’s family industries were very diverse. The Butterfly Family would earn an unimaginable amount of wealth earned if the Buffon Family gave them a share in any of the industries.

Even Fang Tian was shocked. He knew that Yang Ming had accepted someone from the Buffon Family as his disciple, but he didn’t know that it was the current Buffon Family patriarch!

Fang Tian didn’t really care about the Buffon Family because he was in China after all and did not have much contact with Europe. But he knew that Old Buffon was very important to the Butterfly Family when he saw his old friend’s current expression!

No wonder the Buffon Family could easily solve the firearms problem which was previously regarded as the biggest issue by everyone. Naturally, such a family had to be very powerful.

Fang Tian was in a bad mood, especially when he saw the age of the other person that had actually called Yang Ming as master! Hmph, I am the senior here. Why is a kid like you trying to act like a senior?

Moreover, I am your master. Even if they are your disciples, they are also my grand disciples. They can’t just leave me aside, right? Fang Tian coughed twice after having this thought.

Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and knew what this old fellow Fang Tian was thinking. Yang Ming had been with this wretched master for so long after all, and so he knew his mind very well.

“Old Buffon, let me introduce you. This is my master, your grandmaster!” Yang Ming pointed to Fang Tian and introduced him to Old Buffon.

“Ah!” Old Buffon was startled and immediately rejoiced! Yang Ming is already so powerful. Then wouldn’t Yang Ming’s master be even more powerful? Would he be a legendary hermit? Can he leap onto roofs and vault over walls?

“Grandmaster, please accept this grand disciple’s respect!” Old Buffon looked at the inconspicuous Fang Tian but did not despise him. Generally, the ones who were more inconspicuous had more powerful skills. So Old Buffon did not hesitate and paid his respects immediately. Mrs. Buffon, who was also in fear and trepidation, also paid respect to Fang Tian alongside him.

Fang Tian was originally just slightly angry, thinking that Yang Ming did not even bring them to pay respect to him after accepting them as disciples. However, he did not expect that Old Buffon would pay respect immediately without any hesitation. Fang Tian was frightened and felt a little embarrassed, “Okay, please get up…”

“Thank you, grandmaster!” Old Buffon was pleased when he heard Fang Tian’s words because it seemed that Fang Tian had accepted both of them as grand disciples. Before that, Old Buffon was afraid that Fang Tian would not accept them and didn’t know what to do, but he didn’t expect that his grandmaster was so easy to talk to!

“This is my master’s wife…” Yang Ming pointed at Wang Ruoshui and continued introducing the others to Old Buffon.

“Disciples pay respect to grandmaster’s wife!” Old Buffon was overjoyed. It seemed like he had come right on time today as master had recognized him by introducing everyone in the family! Maybe he would teach me even more refined martial arts!

Although Mrs. Buffon was not very proficient in Chinese culture, she watched and learned whatever Old Buffon did and she acted appropriately.

“This… This is your master’s wife’s father!” Yang Ming finally introduced Wang Songshan. Yang Ming didn’t know how to introduce him even after thinking about it.

“Ah!” Old Buffon was shocked suddenly. It turns out that the Butterfly Family Master is actually the master’s wife’s father? En, it makes sense after thinking about it. Master’s wife’s name is Wang Xiaoyan and the Butterfly Family Master is called Wang Songshan. I neglected it just now! Cold sweat immediately poured down Old Buffon’s forehead! Old Buffon had ignored Wang Songshan and not taken him seriously when he came, because Old Buffon did not expect that he would have such a powerful identity!

Old Buffon did not dare to neglect anymore and quickly led his wife to continue to bow down. He said to Wang Songshan in fear and trepidation, “Disciples pay respect to… Pay respect to…”

Old Buffon was also dumbfounded. What should I call the master’s wife’s father? He did know what words to use to describe this rare relationship even though he was proficient in Chinese culture, so he got stuck right away!

“Why not… call him grandmaster too!?” Yang Ming hesitated and said, “Although Yanyan is your master’s wife, most of your wife’s martial arts comes from the Butterfly Family. So this grandmaster title is not inappropriate!”

“How can it be inappropriate!” Old Buffon said quickly after he heard it, “Disciple pays respect to grandmaster Wang!”

Wang Songshan was also dumbfounded. His identity had suddenly increased by a lot he had become a grandmaster. Isn’t this too exaggerated? I was still thinking about how to build a relationship with the Buffon Family. Now I don’t even need to think about it; it happened straight away!

Old Buffon was startled when he saw Wang Songshan’s cloudy expression was cloudy and he said nothing. Did I offend Wang Songshan when I neglected him before? Old Buffon was shocked and quickly apologized, “Grandmaster Wang, disciples offended you before as we did not know that you are the grandmaster. I hope that grandmaster will forgive us! ”

Chapter 1582: Tit-For-Tat in the Board of Directors

Wang Songshan really wanted to slap himself badly. Am I dreaming? Otherwise, why would the Buffon Family patriarch, who is usually high up and difficult for me to meet, kneel in front of me and apologize in fear and trepidation?

After looking at Wang Songshan who could not believe reality, Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, “I didn’t pretend to be a pretentious person on purpose. Although others always call me Brother B [1], it is really not my intention!”

How could I know that Old Buffon will cause such a huge scene? He just bowed down to pay respect immediately. I didn’t want to pretend to be a pretentious person, but there are too many people who cooperate with me.

“That… It doesn’t matter. Patriarch Buffon, you are very kind. Please get up quickly. It does not look good if you are kneeling at the gate!” Wang Songshan became clear-minded a moment later. He was the head of the family after all, so he reached out his hand to support Old Buffon with his natural instinct.

In a blink of an eye, a bunch of people who were younger than Old Buffon had become his elders! However, Old Buffon did not feel the slightest discomfort. He had somewhat adapted to the situation and maintained a respectful smile towards everyone.

It turns out that the Butterfly Family has such a strong heritage. I originally thought that they were just an ordinary assassin family who was good at using guns and assassinations, but I did not expect that they also knew martial arts!

I had no awareness for so long. I would have come to visit the masters long ago if I knew about it earlier. I didn’t have to wait until such an old age to become a disciple.

The great switch from a distinguished family guest to a disciple made the Butterfly Family, who were ready to warmly welcome the guests, unprepared.

The welcome items were not needed anymore. Old Buffon was as easy-going as the people in the family. He was kind to everyone and did not need these welcoming ceremonies.

This made Wang Songshan very depressed. So I prepared for nothing? Yang Ming didn’t inform me in advance and let me work for nothing. Why would I rush the preparation if I had known about this earlier? There was no need for it at all. I even missed my breakfast in the end.

In fact, Yang Ming had already informed him, but Wang Songshan didn’t believe it and didn’t take it seriously at all. Consequently, the current situation had arisen!

Previously, Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan’s disagreeable attitude had made Wang Songshan and Wang Ruoshui think that they were not awake yet. Who could be blamed? It can only be said that sometimes the truth is told but others don’t believe it.

Old Buffon did not consider himself as an outsider at all. The originally prepared high-end rooms were all useless because Old Buffon wanted to live next to Yang Ming and Fang Tian and the prepared room was far away from their rooms.

At the time, Wang Songshan had thought that Old Buffon was a distinguished guest and would naturally want to live in a quiet undisturbed environment. The Butterfly Castle was very large anyways and the room far away was very quiet.

However, he didn’t expect the close relationship between Old Buffon and Yang Ming and that Old Buffon didn’t even care if the room was specially furnished or not! If master and grandmaster can live in this place, then why can’t I?

Won’t I get beaten if I am being picky? So Old Buffon lived frankly and happily, which made the people of the Butterfly family, who were originally nervous and afraid of neglecting him, relieved!

It turns out that patriarch Buffon is so approachable? However, Wang Songshan and the others knew clearly that it all originated from Yang Ming. How could Old Buffon do this for the Butterfly Family if it were not for Yang Ming?

Why did I never hear that Old Buffon was such an approachable person before this?

…

The board of directors was convened in the Jiangyan Group’s meeting room. Liu Jiangyan, the grandfather of the Liu Family, sat on the master seat. He slowly sipped his tea and looked at his children and grandchildren in the meeting room.

The only ones qualified to attend the board meeting were the direct children of Liu Family and nothing could be done to change this. Father Liu had been savvy throughout his whole life, but he couldn’t avoid the division of the company’s shares by his several sons, grandsons, and granddaughters when he passed his prime. The great Jiangyan Group could be instantly torn apart.

Liu Jiangyan’s heart was sullen as he watched the descendants fight every day for their own benefits. Isn’t this a big family? Can’t these people unite as one?

Don’t they know that no one would benefit at all if the group is torn apart?

However, the temptation of power had already clouded these people’s minds. No one to give in to others. The final result would be the division of the group!

The split would consequently result in the Jiangyan Group becoming several medium-sized groups. The initial impact might be small, but how could these medium-sized groups fight against other competitors in the industry over time without the background support of a huge parent company?

Who would be afraid of you without the banner of the Jiangyan Group? Who would honor you? Do not expect that these industries will always go smoothly with the support of the Jiangyan Group, they will all collapse once the group is divided!

However, do these people really not see it? Wouldn’t it be better to vote for a leader who could lead the family and group to glory, so everyone could receive huge dividends every year?

The Jiangyan Group would continue to develop brilliantly even if he retires if Liu Huamei replaced his position as the chairman of the company’s board of directors. Everyone would receive more dividends that were worth way more than splitting the business!

Liu Jiangyan shook his head. His third son, Liu Hua, and his two sons were not easy to deal with. They would probably be the first ones to oppose if Liu Huamei was made chairman.

Liu Jiangyan’s thoughts were not on the data at all as he listened to everyone reporting their statistics. The seemingly harmonious group was actually full of dangers. If nothing goes wrong, the group would now enter a stable and profitable stage. It didn’t really matter if he listened to this data or not.

“Grandpa, I have a talented person to recommend to you.” Liu Zhenan said suddenly after reporting his work.

“Oh?” Liu Jiangyan returned from his contemplation. He looked at his grandson and was clear with his intention. Perhaps, his grandson wanted to put his own confidant inside the group again! However, what could he say as a grandfather? He decided to listen to what his grandson had to say, “What kind of person is so worthy for you, Zhenan, to praise so much? Let’s hear about it!”

“Grandpa, you know about the previous cooperation project with Song Jiang’s Ming Yang Security Company,” Liu Zhenan rejoiced and said quickly when he saw that his grandfather had allowed him to continue speaking, “Our negotiation representative for this project was Liu Jifei, who is also a relative of our Liu Family. ”

“En…” Liu Jiangyan made an en sound as a signal for Liu Zhenan to continue.

“Liu Jifei showed amazing talents when negotiating. He negotiated this contract perfectly and got great benefits for our company!” Liu Zhenan said and took out a copy of the contract. He handed it to Liu Jiangyan, “Grandpa, please see. This contract is very beneficial for our company, so I think that such talents should be promoted! Isn’t the position of the deputy financial director in the group empty? I think he is competent! ”

Liu Zhenan didn’t know that Xu Xiaobin had brought Bao Sanli and others to find Liu Huamei. In his opinion, there would be no problem if he dragged out Xu Xiaobin’s side first. He had to finalize Liu Jifei’s position first.

At that time, he could push all the responsibility onto Xu Xiaobin and let him carry the blame. Even if the contract could not proceed with the Ming Yang Security Company, Xu Xiaobin would be the one fired once the main problem was solved!
