Chapter 1743

Ye Xiao nodded slightly and asked directly: "I wonder what Mr. Wu thinks?"

After Ye Xiao finished speaking, Wu Chuan, Wu Shouzhuo and Wu Huiru all looked closely at Wu Guozhang.

All three of them knew that Wu Guozhang's attitude was very important. It would determine whether the Wu family would turn around, and it might also affect the political changes in Penglai for a long time in the future.

Although Wu Shouzhuo has been in charge of the Wu family for these years, Wu Guozhang has the prestige to change Wu Shouzhuo and the direction of the Wu family with one word.

Wu Guozhang smiled slightly and did not respond to Ye Xiao's question immediately, but asked back: "I wonder how far the power represented by Mr. Ye can help my Wu family?"

Wu Guozhang has been in the complicated political arena of Penglai for decades. Even if he is a rabbit, he has evolved into an old fox. Naturally, he will not tell Ye Xiao right away.

Instead, he will slowly express his attitude after fully seeing the sincerity of Ye Xiao and others.

"No matter how far Mr. Wu wants to go, we will do our best to help you reach your destination." Ye Xiao said calmly.

While speaking, Ye Xiao looked at Wu Guozhang with a firm gaze, showing strong confidence.

He believed that Wu Guozhang should have heard of the famous saying "If you don't sit at the table, you will appear on the menu." If the Wu family does not fight for that position, then it will inevitably be eaten up by other forces.

The three people of the Wu family all understand this truth, but the one who has the ability and decision to take that step should be Wu Guozhang.

"Mr. Ye, for decades, you have supported the Gu family in the inland area, and the Gu family has also actively advocated and promoted exchanges with the inland area. Why did you choose my Wu family instead?"

Wu Guozhang said with a smile.

Although Zhuge Lin's divination made Wu Guozhang have the idea of ​​coming back, no matter how smart the divination is, it can only determine the general direction, and he still needs to think about it himself and make a decision on how to do it specifically.

Wu Guozhang's question is no longer about the Wu family, but involves the attitude of the inland government towards the entire Penglai, and even about what policy should be implemented if the Wu family comes to power.

Before Ye Xiao came to Penglai, the second elder talked about this topic with Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao almost didn't think much and blurted out: "What we want to see is a Penglai that is calm and peaceful, and does not make trouble or cause trouble."

"The Gu family can't do it, and the Gao family has no such idea at all. Only the Wu family's concept can meet our requirements."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Wu Guozhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, what he was most worried about was that after supporting him to take power, the inland government would put forward the requirement to quickly promote the return of Penglai.

With the current situation in Penglai, no one can do it.

If he dared to do that, it would probably not take long for him to die in the hands of a radical "gunman". AIC is very good at playing this trick.

What Ye Xiao meant was that Nei Lu would allow him to govern according to the neutral policy that the Wu family had always adhered to, so that he and the Wu family would not be threatened too much.

"Mr. Ye, I see your sincerity, but the Wu family is facing many problems now. The Zhonghe Gate incident is quite disturbing. I am afraid I can't spare my time to prepare for the election!"

After getting Nei Lu's attitude, Wu Guozhang no longer hesitated and tactfully expressed his willingness to cooperate with the forces represented by Ye Xiao, but he also put forward a condition in his words.

That is to let Ye Xiao help solve the problem of Zhonghe Gate.

Wu Guozhang said this for two purposes. One is that he wants to see the ability of Ye Xiao and others.

The second is that if he runs for the leader of Penglai, a complete Zhonghe Gate controlled by the Wu family will be a weapon for him to build momentum for him. He must solve the Tiger and Leopard Halls as soon as possible.

Wu Shouzhuo was very surprised to hear that his father was actually going to make a comeback. His father had been silent for more than ten years. How could he suddenly have such an idea now?

Is it just because of Ye Xiao?

Wu Huiru was excited. Her personality was actually more like Wu Guozhang. Naturally, she also hoped that the Wu family would be proactive and not self-degrading.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, we will work with the Wu family to settle the Zhonghe Gate issue."

Ye Xiao readily agreed. He could hear Wu Guozhang's hidden meaning. In fact, he had also proposed this to Wu Shouzhuo in the reception hall before, but Wu Shouzhuo did not agree.

"Well! Then I'll trouble Mr. Ye for this matter." Wu Guozhang replied with a smile.

After finalizing the cooperation intention with Ye Xiao, Wu Guozhang talked with Ye Xiao and Wu Chuanan about the specific matters related to the election and solving the Zhonghe Gate issue.

During the whole process, Wu Shouzhuo did not interrupt.

Although he was full of doubts about his father's decision, he knew very well that his father's vision was far superior to his own, so let his father decide!

Half an hour later, Ye Xiao, Wu Chuan and Davika left the Wu Mansion.

The process of coming to the Wu Mansion was full of ups and downs. None of the three people expected that when they thought they would return empty-handed, they would get what they wanted.

Outside the Wu Mansion, Wu Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and sighed: "Old Ye, it seems that even God is helping us!"

Wu Chuan now feels like a dream for the promise made by Wu Guozhang on behalf of the Wu family. Only by considering it as luck can it be explained.

"Yes! There is God's blessing, but there are also human factors." Ye Xiao responded with a faint smile.

He thought of Zhuge Linlai who appeared with Wu Guozhang. If it weren't for this kid, who brought Wu Guozhang to him and others, it is estimated that cooperation with the Wu family would only be a fantasy.

I have to find a chance to thank that kid.

"Human factors?"

Wu Chuan and Davika were confused when they heard this.

At the same time, in the Wu family courtyard, Wu Shouzhuo finally couldn't help but asked his father Wu Guozhang: "Dad, why did you suddenly accept to cooperate with Neilu?"

"And you haven't participated in politics for more than ten years. If you participate in the election now, can you compete with the Gu family and the Gao family?"

After Wu Shouzhuo asked this question, Wu Huiru on the side also looked at her grandfather curiously.

Yesterday, she also told her grandfather that Ye Xiao and others were going to visit, but Wu Guozhang at that time still looked uninterested.

How come grandpa completely changed his attitude after just one night?

Wu Guozhang turned his head slightly and glanced at the room where Zhuge Lin was. "Do you know where Mr. Zhuge came from?"

"I was able to achieve this in the past thanks to the guidance of the masters of the Zhuge family." Wu Guozhang answered himself.

"Today, Mr. Zhuge made a divination for me, which is the Dayou hexagram. The so-called Dayou means great prosperity, which is better than the hexagram a few decades ago."

"And the people who contributed to this hexagram for my Wu family are the inland people who just came."

"Be humble, Huiru, the fortune of my Wu family will come again."

Speaking of this, Wu Guozhang twisted his beard with joy, and in his dim eyes, there flashed the brilliance of an old horse waiting in the stable with a thousand miles of ambition.
