Chapter 672 Do you want to be an elder?

"It's not my wife who urged me to come here earlier." Jiang Yichun muttered, ignored Lin Zhenghui, walked into the house, and poured tea himself.

Bai Ruozhu couldn't help but hugged Dengdeng, saluted Lin Zhenghui, and followed her into the house.

"Little girl, is this your son Deng Deng? Can you let me hug you, old man?" Lin Zhenghui's eyes lit up when he saw Deng Deng. When he offered to hug Deng Deng, his tone sounded pleading.

Bai Ruozhu was easy to be soft-hearted, and when he heard what he said, she couldn't bear to refuse, so she handed Dengdeng into his arms.

Jiang Yichun waved to Bai Ruozhu, telling her not to worry and to go sit down and drink tea.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenghui held Dengdeng and did not make any unusual moves like kissing the child or throwing it into the sky. Bai Ruozhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Deng Deng was not afraid of strangers, and even reached out to pull the white beard on Lin Zhenghui's chin. He had never seen such a white beard, so curiosity was written on his little face.

Lin Zhenghui teased the child for a while, then suddenly said: "I still want to say that today..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yichun interrupted him, "Old man, there's no need to discuss that matter. I told you I'm not interested."

Lin Zhenghui gave him a big eye roll, snorted twice and said, "I'm not telling you, don't put money on your face. I have found a better heir, and you are still a little behind."

Jiang Yichun couldn't help laughing. He thought Lin Zhenghui was talking angrily, "That's great. It will make you feel more comfortable and save me trouble."

Lin Zhenghui ignored him, walked towards Bai Ruozhu with Dengdeng in his arms, looked at her and asked: "Little girl, do you want to be the elder of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Ah?" Bai Ruozhu couldn't help shouting. Even Jiang Yichun next to him looked at Lin Zhenghui in surprise and asked, "Old man, are you kidding?"

Lin Zhenghui gave him a big eye roll, "When did my old man start joking around?"

Only then did Bai Ruozhu come back to her senses. She looked at Lin Zhenghui and asked, "Why are you looking for me? I am a woman. Can a woman be an elder? And isn't the elder a respected old man?"

Lin Zhenghui laughed and said, "I'll answer the questions one by one, lest you, a cautious little girl, don't agree."

Bai Ruozhu laughed twice. You must be more cautious about this kind of thing.

"I'm looking for you for two reasons. The first is that this brat refuses to be my heir. The second is that you are suitable for this position, even more suitable than him. I have been observing you for a long time, and you are very smart in business. , but you should pay attention to integrity and have your own principles. This has always been the way of doing business promoted by the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, you are smart, calm, thoughtful, and have your own unique views on things, so you are very suitable to be an elder of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Also, who said that women can't be elders? There is a female elder in the Southwest Branch, and she also has a very high voice in the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the elders of the Chamber of Commerce are indeed respected old men, but now the Chamber of Commerce has made some adjustments. In order for the Chamber of Commerce to continue to progress, the age of the elders cannot be too old, so I will retire soon."

He sighed as he spoke, a bit like an old man.

"When the elders are elected, the Chamber of Commerce will still elect eight highly respected elders as elders according to traditional rules. Of course, some can be re-elected. For example, I have been reelected for three terms, which is nine years. In addition, we have eight elders. You can recommend your successors to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce will also select some outstanding people from the younger generation, and then these young people will conduct assessments and competitions, and finally eight people will be selected to become the elders of the younger generation."

"The younger generation of elders have the same power as us, because young people's ideas are more flexible, which may allow the chamber of commerce to develop better." Lin Zhenghui added.

After hearing this, Bai Ruozhu shook his head and said, "It's too troublesome. There are still assessments and competitions, and intrigues are inevitable. I already have so much money in my own business in that time, so why waste that energy."

"Yes, I also meant trouble." Jiang Yichun smiled proudly at Lin Zhenghui from the side, making the old man's beard tremble with anger.

"Hey, what's the trouble? With me supporting you, the election won't be a problem. As for the assessment, how can you still handle it with your intelligence? You also need to register with the Chamber of Commerce when doing business. It's inevitable that you won't encounter it again in the future. When others are jealous and scheming against you, don't you want to have an extra identity and an extra layer of protection?" Lin Zhenghui spoke quickly, showing that he was already anxious.

Bai Ruozhu glanced at Jiang Yichun, with a cunning look in her eyes. Maybe becoming the elder of the Chamber of Commerce was a good choice, but could she agree so easily?

Jiang Yichun also winked at her, telling her to slap the old man hard, and you're welcome.

"You two young men are flirting with each other. My old man doesn't have any blood. If you become my heir, won't all my things belong to you from now on?" He said and glared at Bai Ruozhu, "Let's do this, I will divide it among ten. How about I give you the manager, plus ten secret guards from the Chamber of Commerce? Don’t be too picky. When I step down, I’ll give you all the people below. But if I can’t do that now, I want to prevent you from being too conspicuous and being exposed to those from the Chamber of Commerce. The old man is jealous.”

Bai Ruozhu was not in a hurry to agree to him, and asked: "You don't seem to care about power, so why do you have to find this heir? If I become your heir, besides being the elder, do I have any other responsibilities and tasks? ?”

"You girl is really as meticulous as dust and very cautious in doing things. When I was your age, I was not as experienced as you." He said and sighed, "I have been an elder for nine years, plus the previous As branch president, there are many people below who rely on my protection. If I step down, those people will be the most worried, so I need a heir to take charge and give those people below a peaceful life."

"Is this too heavy a burden? I'm just a little woman. I only know how to care for my husband and children, and run a small business. How can I protect your subordinates?" Bai Ruozhu instantly felt that this matter was a big trouble.

Lin Zhenghui's expression suddenly dimmed, and he seemed to have aged several years, and his energy was also sluggish.

"Otherwise, if you think about it again, there is no need for you to do anything. As long as you have a place in the Chamber of Commerce, no one will dare to touch them." He changed to a pleading tone at this point.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little uncomfortable. Would it be too cruel to reject a frail old man like this?

"Then I'll go back and think about it." She lowered her head and whispered.

Jiang Yichun stood up and took Deng back from Lin Zhenghui's arms, and said jokingly: "Old man, you are getting smarter and smarter. You actually called me here to plot against my wife. We have to think about this carefully and give it to you in a few days." You answer it."

Lin Zhenghui sighed, "Okay, you can go back and discuss it."
