Chapter: 6193
Howard initially thought that the Queen of Northern Europe sent the elixir as a token of his son Steven's filial piety. Therefore, now that Steven is volunteering naturally makes him extremely satisfied. He looks around at everyone and shouts loudly: "By the way, I want to announce something here. From today on, Steve Roosevelt, he will officially become the next heir of the Roosevelt family! After I retire, he will become the person who leads the Roosevelt family forward!"
This statement was met with applause from all present relatives, but Steven's brothers and nephews looked at each other expressionlessly.
They knew that old sir had announced this decision in front of so many people, basically making it impossible to change.
This statement was met with applause from all present relatives, but Steven's brothers and nephews looked at each other expressionlessly.
They knew that old sir had announced this decision in front of so many people, basically making it impossible to change.
That also means that when old sir passes away, Steven will take over as the patriarch, and they will gradually become collateral family members. In the future, their descendants will have to sit alongside other collateral families, just like themselves, and express gratitude to the main house for some petty favors. It's interesting that Steven himself didn't seem too thrilled about it.
This wasn't surprising, because he was the only one at the scene, aside from Howard, who knew he might not be able to take over. As a result, he became even more eager to go to Hua Xia to see Li Chen.
After the meeting ended, these collateral family members left Rosewood Manor, each one excitedly departing, while Howard called Steven into his study and admonished him: "Steven, this time when you go to Hua Xia, make sure to do your best to bring back Hogwart's father-and-son pair. Those collateral families are all waiting for news of your success."
Steven respectfully replied, "Father, don't worry, I'll give it my all!" Howard lightly nodded and continued: "These in-laws may not be something to look up to normally, but they're essential forces that will help solidify your position as patriarch after you take over. That's why I've established a kinship coordination office this time - to bring them together under the umbrella of Rosewood Manor from now on!"
"With this kinship coordination office providing their blessings, they'll work hard to protect the legitimacy of Rosewood Manor and our family's interests in the future," Howard said.
Steven thought to himself: "To pave a road for me? My path is almost being completely cleared out by you, and yet you're still paving one for me? You're actually dismantling my path!" If this were before he knew Li Chen, Howard's words would at least convince him 70%.
"However, considering what he already knew about the inside story, Steve's trust in his words was completely zero.
In comparison, he knew more than Howard, so he could be certain that his father today did everything to solidify his own patriarchal status, and that's why he spoke so grandly - it's just a ploy to dupe himself, continue giving himself a false sense of security, and make him behave like an idiotic prince.
The simplest point is that if his old man really wanted to pave a road for himself, the person in charge of the kinship coordination office should naturally let him take charge.
But he deliberately bypassed all direct family members and designated his most trusted career manager to manage this office, which is not just afraid that the kinship coordination office might make people feel grateful towards him or other younger brothers on behalf of others?"
"His father established the office himself and designated his own trusted person in charge. If those collateral relatives obtained benefits through this office in the future, they would naturally be grateful to his father.
Try thinking about it: when an employee is unsure whether their boss's son will take over after him and whether he will lay off employees, reduce salaries, or chase people away, and then their boss suddenly gives them a 50% raise while claiming to help them solve their wife's work, children's insurance, mortgage, and parents' medical expenses. Will they be eager for the boss's son to take over?
No.
They'll only pray every day that God will bless their old man, hoping he'll live longer because if his son shows up one day, his good times might come to an end.
However, Steve knew everything but still bowed down to Howard with a sincere expression: "Thank you for cultivating me! I'll definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
When the golden sun's rays burst forth from the eastern horizon, Leaf Cian stepped off the plane and landed at Ling City Airport.
At this moment, he was unaware that Steve Rascall in the North Federation had already been eagerly looking forward to visiting him in Yan Country.
As soon as the plane touched down, Leaf Cian quickly dialed Lin Wan'er's phone.
The line connected, and Lin Wan'er's gentle girl's voice came through: "Young master, why are you calling me so early?"
Leaf Cian smiled and said: "Miss Lin, I've just landed at Ling City, and I don't know if you're available right now. If it's convenient, I'd like to come visit you at Purple Gold Manor." JrNovels.com
