Chapter 413 Pie from the sky
Chapter 413 Pie from the sky
The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Shen Zhuang.
This is their biggest concern.
The expressions of Shen Lanxi and Shen Guiling were a little more complicated than those of the others.
Originally, they thought that Jiang Huashan and Fu Suier were injured due to unprovoked disasters, but they didn't expect that someone was deliberately targeting them. In other words, even if Shen Lanxi didn't have a plan, someone would secretly harm Jiang Huashan.
Realizing this, they both decided to get rid of the evil.
Jiang Huashan raised her head and looked at Shen Zhuang calmly.
Shen Zhuang met everyone's gazes and slowly shook his head, "I only know that they are coming for Xiao Huaer, but I don't know who is behind this."
The undercurrent in Shen Jiao's eyes grew deeper and deeper. She leaned back slightly, leaning against the armchair in silence.
Shen Rang frowned and thought for a moment, "Could it be that they are the same assassins who assassinated Zhizhi two years ago? Sui'er, Lanlan, Zhizhi, and Shanshan... From this, it seems that someone is indeed targeting our Shen family's daughter."
Shen Che's expression wasn't looking good either. "Who on earth is it? They didn't even spare the little girl at home. Could it be that they have some deep blood feud with us?"
Shen Qian knew that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so he remained silent and quietly looked at the old man in the main seat.
Shen Zhuang raised his hand to interrupt everyone's suspicions, "Let's investigate this matter later. Right now, there are more important things to discuss."
More important things?
Everyone looked a little stern.
Jiang Huashan lowered her head and took a bite of the lion's head. She guessed that her grandfather must have his own intentions for doing this.
Shen Zhuang turned to look at Shen Qian, "I heard that Guanlou and Qiao Si jointly submitted a bill to increase military power?"
Shen Qian didn't expect the old man to suddenly turn the topic to him. His heart trembled slightly. He looked at Shen Zhuang calmly and nodded, "Yes."
This military affairs promotion bill mainly changed the military affairs promotion process. Previously, only officers who passed the military and political academy examinations were eligible for promotion to the military affairs center, but this bill added Whale Harbor National Defense.
Military and political schools have high entry requirements, and most of them are second-generation military personnel. Whale Port National Defense has relatively low entry requirements, and is generally for second-generation officials and wealthy gentry.
If this bill is passed, it will break the tradition of military-to-military transmission in Country A, and military power will be integrated with the political power.
But how did the old man know this? This motion was only brought up at the meeting this morning.
Shen Zhuang, "What do you think?"
The Shen family is the largest military power representative in Country A. They have produced two generals with golden spears. Guan Lou’s proposal is tantamount to grabbing the cake from the Shen family’s bowl with a bowl and a knife.
Shen Qian naturally would not let this proposal pass.
He didn't dare to hide it and said truthfully, "Guan Lou joined forces with the Zhou and Qiao families to get a lot of votes. In addition, the people also hope that the military assessment will be open to the public, so..."
Shen Zhuang, "No matter what method you use, this proposal must be suppressed."
Shen Qian was stunned. Since he came to power, the old man rarely showed such a strong attitude towards something.
Shen Zhuang knocked on the table and said in a tone that brooked no argument, "If you don't even have this little bit of ability, what else can the Shen family expect from you?"
Shen Qian immediately calmed down, stood up and bowed his head, "Dad, don't worry, I know what to do."
Shen Zhuang nodded. "Over the years, the Shen family's power has grown like a raging fire. While there is glory, danger is also looming. The affairs of the villa must be thoroughly investigated. This is a good opportunity to establish some rules for the situation in Whale Harbor, so that no villains dare to challenge me."
Suddenly, the old man paused, as if thinking of something, and turned his head to look at his side, "Lan Xi, Grandpa can't take care of you in these troubled times, so you should go to the 313th Division to polish your temper."
At this moment, Shen Qian, Shen Che, and Shen Rang were stunned.
Shen Lanxi was also caught off guard and looked at Shen Zhuang with a little confusion.
Shen Zhuang, "I've applied for two months of military training for you. You can stay at 313 for two months and come back after school starts."
"Huh?" Jiang Huashan exclaimed softly.
In her previous life, Shen Lanxi went to the 313th Division on the second day after she got engaged. Because she was dissatisfied with her grandfather's arbitrary arranged marriage, Shen Lanxi went to hide in the army for half a year.
Unexpectedly, in this life, Shen Lanxi's relationship with the 313th Division would begin in this way.
I have to say that grandpa had good intentions in letting Shen Lanxi go to the 313th Division at this time.
Because if Shen Qian suppresses this bill, it will definitely infringe on the interests of many parties. If the cornered party does something desperate, assassinations like the one in the villa will inevitably happen again.
The 313th Division is Shen Xi's direct army. If Shen Lanxi goes to the 313th Division, his safety will be the responsibility of a military advisor. Who would dare to go against the Ten Thousand Divine Army?
Not only that, Shen Lanxi was only 313 years old and was able to join the th Division as a trainee. If he could make military achievements during the mission, even if the bill came into effect in the future, his promotion path would be smoother than his opponents of the same period.
There must have been some changes that she didn't know about, so her grandfather carried out the plan of his previous life in advance.
The Shen family is no pushover. The old man's move was not subtle, and everyone present knew clearly that Shen Zhuang was partial to him.
Shen Che and Shen Rang looked at each other, then wisely lowered their heads to drink their tea.
Shen Qian's face was gloomy. The old man had a good plan. He let him do things that offended people, but then sent Shen Lanxi to the 313th Division. Once Shen Lanxi conquered the 313th Division, all his hard work for so many years would be in vain.
So many years have passed, but the old man is still so stubborn. When Shen Xi was alive, he was Shen Xi's nourishment, and now he has to make wedding dresses for his son.
Shen Qian clenched his fists tightly. Back then, he was weak and could only let the old man command him, but now... he might not be unable to fight for it.
Thinking of this, a trace of determination flashed in Shen Qian's eyes. He raised his hand to hold the armchair and was about to stand up when a force of gravity suddenly pressed down on his side and pulled him back.
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment, then turned around to find Shen Guiling looking at him, his eyes full of worry, and he shook his head almost imperceptibly. Shen Qian looked down at the hand on his arm, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.
Who doesn’t have a son?
It is better to support your own son than to support someone else's son.
Shen Qian held Shen Guiling's hand and stood up. "Dad, if I suppress the proposal by force, I will become a thorn in their side. Ah Ling has been targeted by the pirates before, and I am worried that he will be implicated by me."
Shen Guiling frowned, "Father, I'm not afraid."
"Shut up." Shen Qian scolded coldly, turning to look at Shen Zhuang, "Dad, I didn't teach Anian well, but A Ling is a good child."
Shen Zhuang thought for a moment and nodded. "You're right. I didn't think this through. Feel free to tell me what you think."
Shen Qian was stunned, feeling rather flattered. When had the old man ever agreed with him so much? Shen Qian coughed lightly, "Admiral Mu of the South Bay warship has always praised A Ling. Why not take this opportunity to let A Ling go to the South Bay Guard to gain some experience?"
Shen Guiling, "..."
