Chapter 881: Chen Xuan Takes Charge of the Division
Chen Xuan first found Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li.
"Patricarchs, now that everything is settled, can we relax?" Chen Xuan said with a light smile.
Patriarch Luo smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm completely relieved. Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your generosity."
Patriarch Li also nodded with a smile, "If it weren't for Mr. Chen's assistance this time, I'm afraid our two families would have already been swallowed up by those four families."
Chen Xuan smiled, "I came to see you two family heads to bring you some good news."
"With the reallocation of market resources, you two family heads will also get a share. My idea is for you two families to host a banquet, and I'll invite the other family heads."
"What do you two think?"
Both Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li were secretly excited, and they immediately responded, "No problem, this is what we should do."
"No matter how we say it, our two families were the cause of this conflict. It is only right that we host and entertain the other family heads, hahaha."
Chen Xuan nodded, "Alright, you better get ready then. Notify me when you've set the place tonight."
That evening, Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li hosted a banquet at Jiangnan City's most upscale hotel.
Chen Xuan extended invitations, bringing those family heads to the banquet, as a collective celebration.
As for the Luo Family, the elder Luo Honglie had mobility issues due to aging, so Luo Yuanming was sent to represent the Luo Family.
Patriarch Zheng, Patriarch Zhu, Patriarch Chang, and Patriarch Zhao were all present.
On Zhang Family's side, Zhang Dehou was intent on grooming his son Zhang Jun to take over. On such important occasions, Zhang Jun would typically attend while Zhang Dehou gradually retired.
Including Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li, everyone was present.
Chen Xuan naturally sat at the most important position.
The others seated themselves in turn.
Chen Xuan smiled and opened, "Tonight, Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li have graciously hosted this evening, inviting you to celebrate this victory together."
"Next, it's about reshaping the structure. To put it plainly, it's about the post-war distribution of benefits."
Luo Yuanming spoke first, "Mr. Chen, you can say it directly. We'll listen to you and have no objections."
Chen Xuan smiled lightly, "Alright, I won't say much more."
"The resources that the Wu Family and Qi Family are offering, the Luo Family will take half. The remaining half will go to the Zhang Family."
Luo Yuanming nodded gently, indicating no objections.
Zhang Jun looked excited as taking the other half of the Wu and Qi family's assets brings them almost directly into the ranks of top-tier families.
Chen Xuan continued, "The Jiang Family, Yang Family, Shen Family, and Han Family will each offer a portion of their assets, which will be evenly divided among your four families."
"Regarding the four third-tier families' assets that were previously annexed, after everything is released, half will be split between the Luo and Li families, and the remaining half will go to the Zheng Family."
After finishing his sentence, everyone's expressions varied.
Patriarch Luo and Patriarch Li were naturally overjoyed, as their families effectively annexed a third-tier family each, directly boosting their strength.
Although they couldn't compare with other families, they were already quite satisfied.
Patriarch Zheng was equally excited, not expecting that Chen Xuan would give him special consideration.
After receiving these assets consecutively, Zheng Family was poised to enter the ranks of top-tier families.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Patriarch Zheng excitedly cupped his hands in gratitude.
Except for Luo Yuanming, the others exchanged glances, feeling somewhat uneasy.
However, they understood that among these families, it was only Zheng Family that had never opposed Chen Xuan.
Whether it was the Zhu Family, Chang Family, or Zhao Family, they all had some form of minor conflict with Chen Xuan, not to mention the Zhang Family.
They were only convinced to follow him after being subdued by Chen Xuan.
Giving Zheng Family special treatment was naturally deserved.
"The division is settled, let it be." Chen Xuan concluded with finality, not giving further explanations to the crowd.
Thus, the layout of Jiangnan City was planned.
The Luo Family was truly a top-tier family, with an unshakable status.
With Chen Xuan's deliberate assistance, the Zheng Family also joined the ranks of top-tier families.
Only these two top-tier families remained.
For the second-tier families, the Zhu Family, Chang Family, and Zhao Family had all approached the entry criteria for a top-tier family, but were still defined as second-tier families.
The Zhang Family followed closely, ranking fourth among second-tier families.
The Wu Family and Qi Family had completely fallen to the bottom rung of second-tier families, no longer basking in their past glory.
Among third-tier families, the Luo Family and Li Family had equal strength, becoming joint leaders.
The Jiang Family, Yang Family, Shen Family, and Han Family, these four second-tier families, had at this moment also fallen to third-tier families, ranking behind the Luo and Li families.
Everything was settling down.
Finally, Chen Xuan could breathe a true sigh of relief, now just waiting for the time to host his sister Chen Yi's wedding.
With this final concern out of the way, he could then leave Jiangnan City, heading towards the provincial capital Jinhai City.
Hope that no further unexpected incidents occur...
