Chapter 223 The Future of the Fan Family
Chapter 223 The Future of the Fan Family
After talking with Fan Ruoruo for a while, Versace came back.
In this Fan's house, Versace knew that his elder brother was back, so he put down everything in his hands and rushed back without saying a word.
As soon as he entered Fan's mansion, he went straight to Fan You's small courtyard.
After Fan You left the capital, all the affairs of the Fan family in the capital were handed over to Versace. Before Versace encountered something, he could talk to Fan You and ask for advice.
But after Fan You left, the Fan family's business did encounter some problems.
Everyone thought that the success of the Fan family's business was due to Fan You's reputation and the power of the Fan family. For a while, the contribution of Fan Sizhe, the fourth son of the Fan family, was subconsciously ignored by them, especially in Fan You's business. After Yu left, many people's attitude towards Versace became less favorable.
When Versace saw his elder brother, he felt warm in his heart.
"Brother, you're finally back. You said you didn't let me be notified when you came back."
As Versace spoke, he sat next to Fan You. Fan You looked at Versace's appearance and nodded. Versace hadn't seen her for a few days and had lost weight.
Fan You: "Very good, I see you have worked hard during this period, you have lost weight! You have also become a lot more mature."
The previous Versace, although he had some talent for doing business, was far from being sophisticated enough, which also led to Versace being very childish.
But now the childishness of Versace is completely gone, and he has matured a lot.
Versace smiled and said, "Hey, isn't it that you and the second brother have left? Those people before, after you left, they all jumped out one by one."
"Thanks to Uncle Jin and the others. If they hadn't helped me, I'm afraid our Fan family's business would not have gone so smoothly."
After hearing this, Fan You raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? What's going on, let's talk about it."
Versace: "Hey, there's nothing to say. Uncle Jin and I have already rescued those people, and this time Father also took action. Without the help of Father, I'm afraid I can't solve those families."
When Fan You heard that Fan Jian made a move, he was a little surprised. In fact, Fan Jian knew very well that Fan You and Fan Xian were his children, not his children, and Versace was his own child. .
Although Versace has disappointed Fan Jian too many times in these years, he still wants to see his child become a useful person, especially after Versace showed his talent for businessmanship, Fan Jian sincerely happy inside.
Even though he, Fan Jian, was just a small servant of the household department, if the minister of the household department really did something against him, Emperor Qing would teach Fan Jian the position of the minister of the household department in just one sentence.
During the war, Fan Jian, Chen Pingping, and Emperor Qing represented the three identities of intelligence officer, logistics officer, and general.
Even in the most difficult time, Fan Jian did not let Emperor Qing's army cut off its logistics and supplies. This shows how strong Fan Jian's ability is. To be honest, it is really a shame to let Fan Jian stay in this position. Some are overkill.
Fan You: "Well, then it's fine. My father has been the servant of the household department for many years. He basically knows a little bit about businessmen, big and small, in the capital. With him helping you, even if it's a big problem, it's not a problem."
Versace nodded slightly, Fan You looked at the current Versace, and couldn't help sighing, Versace in a month or two was not like this.
At that time, Versace was still a dude who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. Although he didn’t have the bad habits of other dudes and even had a hardworking heart, his father didn’t understand him, and his mother even regarded him as a fool.
But now, the maturity and stability of Versace is already visible to the naked eye. Fan You even thinks that among the four sons of the Fan family, Versace has made the greatest progress!
It is very possible that Versace will be the leader of the Fan family in the future.
Versace sensed Fan You's gaze and suddenly felt a little weird.
Versace: "Brother, don't look at me like that, I'm scared."
Fan You: "Sizhe, I suddenly felt that among the four of us, if we were to find someone to succeed the Fan family in the future, it would really have to be you!"
"I, Fan Xian, if none are suitable, you are the only one!"
Fan You's words immediately startled Versace.
Versace: "What?! No, big brother, don't be kidding me, me? I'll take the lead? Stop making trouble!"
"Look at our Fan family, let's not talk about you, the eldest brother. The second brother is the son-in-law of the Lin family. With the help of Prime Minister Lin, he will definitely become the next prime minister of the Qing Kingdom in the future!"
Just after Versace finished speaking, Fan You said calmly: "Fan Xian will indeed become the prime minister of the Qing Kingdom, but at that time he will not only be the prime minister of the Qing Kingdom, but also all the affairs of the Lin family. He is too busy Yes, and he is not the most suitable person to take on the role of the Fan family."
"On the contrary, you are the most suitable, Sizhe, recall yourself, your changes during this period."
"You have to believe in yourself, you won't lose to anyone."
As Fan You said, he patted Versace's shoulder. After he left, even if the system had to leave a clone, Fan You sincerely hoped that the future Fan family would be inherited by Versace.
After all, Versace is the only close blood of the Fan family.
Versace was silent. It is impossible for him to say that he does not want to compete with Fan You and Fan Xian. Although he has never thought of competing with the two of them for family property, it is not impossible for him to become the head of the Fan family in the future. thought about it.
It's just that when he thinks about Fan You's strength and Fan Xian's identity, Versace doesn't think about it anymore. Even everything he has now is obtained with Fan You's help.
Versace: "Brother, I. Can I really do it?"
Fan You: "Of course you can. Believe in yourself. By the way, you are not too young now. It's time to consider getting married and having children."
"If there is a girl you like, you must do it as soon as possible."
In the middle of Fan You's speech, he suddenly thought of their Fan family. It seemed that Fan Sizhe was the only one who was not married. They all said that an elder brother is like a father. As the eldest brother, he should also consider his brother as appropriate.
When Versace heard this, he shook his head crazily, that head was like a rattle.
Versace: "I don't want it, what's the point of marrying that thing? It's annoying all day long, if I have the time, I might as well earn more money!"
After Versace finished speaking, he said to Fan You again; "What, brother, I still have something to report to my father, so I won't bother you, I'll go first."
After Versace finished speaking, he hurried away, for fear that Fan You would continue to talk to him about this issue.
When Versace was leaving, he just saw Li Lisi come back.
Li Lisi: "Eh? Sizhe, this is you."
Versace: "Oh, sister-in-law, I still have something to tell my father, so I'll go first, go first."
Before Li Lisi could react, Versace had already walked away.
Li Lisi looked at Versace in confusion.
Fan You: "It's okay, don't worry about him, he's still young and hasn't seen the market, when he grows up in the future, he will naturally understand."
Li Lisi was still puzzled, and asked with a puzzled look: "What? Sizhe has made great progress in this period of time. You don't know how many troubles our family's business has encountered during this period, and Sizhe is all alone. fixed."
"I heard that Sizhe didn't come back for ten days in a row, and he was basically busy."
"You didn't see, this kid is all skinny."
Although Li Lisi hadn't formally entered the family, after staying in the Fan family for so long, he had already regarded himself as the Fan family.
Fan You: "By the way, Lisi, there is something. I hope you can prepare for it."
During Fan You's time in Beiqi, he never forgot one thing, that is Li Lisi's younger brother.
Li Lisi's younger brother was always in the hands of the Queen Mother. When Li Lisi came to the capital of Qing Kingdom, the Queen Mother was worried that Li Lisi would betray him, so she simply killed the child.
This is also the reason why Fan You later targeted the Queen Mother.
Li Lisi was taken aback when he heard Fan You's words.
Li Lisi: "Well, tell me."
Fan You: "About your brother's matter, he died. When you came to the capital, the Empress Dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty had the people of Jin Yiwei secretly deal with him."
"They said they were afraid that your younger brother would be rescued and it would affect you, so he would simply kill him."
"In order to keep it secret, even the people who executed your brother were killed together. All I can know is this is just a coincidence. I tried to find your brother's bones, but I'm sorry."
As Fan You said, Li Lisi's expression was always the same, it didn't change.
However, the clenched hands and the whitened knuckles all indicated that Li Lisi's heart was not as calm as she showed at this time.
Li Lisi: "Okay, I see. Do you want to eat something today? I'll make it for you."
Originally, Fan You thought that Li Lisi would cry a lot, or even get seriously ill. Fan You was ready, but Li Lisi didn't shed a single tear, and her tone was so flat, which made Fan You a little worried. .
Fan You; "Lisi, you."
Li Lisi smiled and said: "Hehe, it's okay, in fact, I have already made preparations, but what I didn't expect was that they would be so early."
Li Lisi couldn't continue, she had long been prepared for her brother's death.
Looking at Li Lisi's appearance, Fan You felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I will avenge your brother. The person who killed your brother was the Queen Mother of Northern Qi. After a while, I will definitely use her head to bury your brother with him!"
Li Lisi nodded fiercely when he heard Fan You's words, and then walked outside the courtyard.
The moment he turned around, Li Lisi's tears still flowed down.
Of course Fan You noticed that Li Lisi was crying, but he had no choice but to be taken aback when he knew that Li Lisi's younger brother was dead. He thought that Li Lisi's younger brother would be held hostage by the other party , used to control Li Lisi.
But what Fan You didn't expect was that the other party didn't regard Li Lisi as any important person at all, so he directly killed Li Lisi.
Looking at Li Lisi's back, Fan You said silently in his heart; I will definitely bring the head of the Queen Mother of Northern Qi to you!
After a long time, Li Lisi walked over with a bowl of noodles and put it in front of Fan You.
Although Fan You wasn't very hungry, he still picked up the bowl of noodles and started gobbling it up.
Fan You ate deliciously, Li Lisi just watched without saying a word.
Just like that, the two looked at each other quietly.

After Fan You left, Chen Pingping and Fei Jie called Shadow and Black Knight.
Fan You has already told the matter, Chen Pingping and Fei Jie are going to solve it, but this matter is not in the territory of Qing Kingdom, so they have to enter Beiqi Kingdom, so the matter is not so simple.
But fortunately, now that Northern Qi was killed because of the national teacher, and the little emperor was accused of being incompetent, the Queen Mother stood up again at this time, and wanted to regain power by herself.
At this time, it was the time when the Northern Qi government was in chaos. In addition, Uesugi Tiger, the general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, left the Northern Qi Dynasty. At this time, the Northern Qi Dynasty was at its weakest defense.
Chen Pingping looked at the shadow, and the leader of the black cavalry said: "Both of you, pack up and follow me. This time, we are going to Beiqi."
Shadow frowned and asked, "Northern Qi? Why? The mission hasn't been found yet."
Chen Pingping: "It's because the person hasn't been found yet! That's why we're going to Beiqi!"
The leader of the black cavalry said: "Dean, could it be said that Bei Qi made the move? But, how can Bei Qi have such strength?"
Chen Pingping: "You don't need to know the details, you just need to be ready!"
After Chen Pingping finished speaking, Fei Jie also spoke.
"By the way, Shadow, you have to go with me this time. Before you go, go to three places. I will prepare some medicine for you to wear. If something happens, you can deal with it."
Shadow: "Huh? This time, is it possible that the dean will also go with him?"
Chen Pingping: "That's right, I'm going this time too. Not only me, Black Rider, Shadow, and Fei Jie will also accompany me. This time the task is not easy."
"The mission of the black cavalry is to protect me. It is enough to escort me all the way to the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After entering the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it will be the affairs of the six divisions."
"Besides, this time we are going to Northern Qi, there are other things to do."
"Now the Northern Qi court is in chaos, and the little emperor is blamed for his incompetence because of Kuhe's incident. Just at this time, the Queen Mother stepped forward and wanted to integrate the power of the Northern Qi court through Jin Yiwei."
"She is our target, I want her head!"
After Chen Pingping finished speaking, Shadow was the first to speak: "It's not difficult. Now that Northern Qi has no master masters, if you want the head of the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, it's very easy."
"However, I have a doubt. Why did you kill her? The Queen Mother of Northern Qi Dynasty is just a woman of the generation. Letting her control the Northern Qi Dynasty will be beneficial and harmless to us."
