Judging from Xu Shangguo's initiative to extend an olive branch to the southern faction and his attitude towards Lin Shuhua, Yang Qingsong was basically certain that the break between Xu Shangfeng and Lin Qingtian was almost irreversible.
In other words, the split between the radical and conservative factions in the south-west is a foregone conclusion.
It's just a matter of time.
However, Xu Shangfeng had already made up his mind, which was why Xu Shangguo had decided to invest in Beihu Province.
Until a major decision is made, Send a wealthy family to test the waters, This was practically the usual trick of the southwest faction. For example, the destruction of the northern faction back then. If it hadn't been for the southwest faction attacking the Lin Clan in Nine Continents City and the sudden attack of the Hong Clan in the northern city, even if Lin Qingtian and the others had been able to open a breakthrough from the northern faction back then, the outcome of the northern faction wouldn't have been so tragic.
Now that Xu Shangfeng had invested in Beihu Province, he was undoubtedly sending a wealthy family to test the waters first, and then drawing up a plan based on the feedback from the southern faction.
The Xu Family has invested billions of dollars in Beihu Province, Such a dazzling achievement, Naturally, he was escorting Yang Qingyue from the southern faction. However, this was not the entire strength of the Xu Clan. Tens of billions of dollars could be considered a huge sum of money anywhere. However, this amount of money could not determine the advancement and retreat of a Policy Bureau member. Xu Shangguo's investment was an attitude. If the southern faction took over the olive branch, then Xu Shangfeng would naturally take action.
Faced with this kind of cooperation, the southern faction had no reason to refuse. Originally, Yang Xiuyuan had been having a headache over Yang Qingyue's final position. Now that he was cooperating with Xu Shangfeng, this meant that Yang Qingyue's matter had the support of Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping, as well as a few policy bureau members led by Zhao Yingfei and a group of imperial Central Committee Member from the conservative faction in the southwest.
As a result, Yang Qingyue's entry into the Policy Bureaux became more secure and her final position was extremely optimistic.
Yang Xiuyuan, Xu Shangfeng, and Xu Dongping.
Together, the three giants were definitely a considerable force. If this force were to forcefully push Yang Qingyue into the cabinet and become one of the deputy prime ministers, it would definitely be possible.
He was afraid that he would encounter a rebound from the royal clan at that time.
Xu Shangfeng broke off with Lin Qingtian. The conservatives of the southwest faction could become a powerful faction themselves. If Xu Shangfeng set up his own sect, he naturally wanted to have a good relationship with the other factions. He took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the south faction, so he would definitely not offend the royal faction.
If the Wang family strongly opposed Yang Qingyue's appointment as the Empire's Deputy Prime Minister, Xu Shangfeng and Xu Dongping might not insist on their opinions.
But it doesn't matter.
As long as Yang Qingyue could steadily enter the National Assembly and the Central Bureau of Academicians , she would have already accomplished the southern faction's projected goal.
Moreover, Xu Shangfeng's new post would be the director of the National Assembly next year. If the southern faction maintained such a relationship with Xu Shangfeng, it could be predicted that if Yang Qingyue entered the National Assembly, her work would be even more handy.
In this way, in order to support Yang Qingyue, Xu Shangfeng's partnership with the southern faction would be maintained until Yang Qingyue had completely established herself in her new position. This would take at least two to three years. This was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to Xu Shangfeng.
Furthermore, even if the relationship between Xu Shangfeng and the southern faction broke down in the future, the southern faction had to repay Xu Shangfeng for supporting Yang Qingyue today. This was the most basic political rule, and no one could break it.
On the balcony, Yang Qingsong smiled and looked at Xu Shangguo with meaningful eyes.
It was said that the Xu Clan would continue to invest more in the Imperial Intelligence City during this period of time. From the looks of it, Xu Shangfeng had made up his mind that after splitting up with Lin Qingtian, he would be able to find a good relationship between the southern faction and the king faction. At the very least, he had to handle the relationship between the two factions.
However, as a price to pay, he didn't know what kind of bargaining chip Xu Shangfeng had given the royal family.
To give the Southern faction a good position as a member of the Decision-making Bureau was naturally no worse than giving it to the Wang faction. Moreover, the Wang faction was now in a great position, so even if Xu Shangfeng were to offer two or three more members of the Central Committee, it was understandable.
"Let's go."
Yang Qingsong suddenly opened his mouth and shook his head, "We have to hurry back to the North Lake. There are still a lot of things to deal with. Let's talk another day."
Xu Shangguo was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The secret conversation between the two of them did not last long, but they had already said everything they needed to say. Furthermore, they had said it more clearly. If Yang Qingsong still wanted to stay, there would be nothing else other than lunch.
People of their status wouldn't affect their friendship just because they couldn't eat a single meal.
"I won't send him off."
Xu Shangguo smiled and pointed to the central villa in his line of sight. "Although I have made up my mind not to participate, what should be observed should still be observed. Old He, send off the guests."
Yang Qingsong nodded and smiled at the Xu Clan's Guan Clan elder He who appeared on the balcony following Xu Shangguo's greeting before leaving the balcony.
On the balcony, Xu Shangguo was still standing there silently, quietly watching the silent confrontation in his line of sight.
Lin Fengxue did not go downstairs.
Lin Shuhua didn't get out of the car.
Measure for measure.
Xu Shangguo suddenly smiled. From the looks of it, if Lin Fengxue did not personally greet him today, the Lin Clan boy from the Northeast really did not intend to come out.
But the central villa was torn apart by Lin Shuhua's machine gun. The longer this confrontation lasted, the more embarrassing Lin Fengxue would be.
But at the same time, Lin Shuhua had just tossed the central villa into this state. If Lin Fengxue took the initiative to go downstairs to welcome him, it would also be hard for him to do so. No matter how good Lin Fengxue's temper was, it was not to this extent.
Thus, the situation froze.
Xu Shangguo shook his head and sighed, "Why bother?"
Indeed.
In Xu Shangguo's view, Lin Fengxue's persistence was completely unnecessary and even ridiculous.
Because such persistence was meaningless at all.
What's the use of holding a rack and refusing to come out even after losing all face?
Do you want to maintain the dignity of the head of the wealthiest clan?
But in front of the dilapidated central villa, how much of that so-called dignity was left?
The longer this matter dragged on, the more awkward it would become.
"Dad, why bother?"
A crisp voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Shangguo.
A girl who looked seventeen or eighteen years old jumped in, squinted her big eyes, and hugged Xu Shangguo's arm as she smiled.
The young girl's appearance was extremely beautiful. Her big eyes blinked and blinked. She was naive and innocent. She looked extremely attractive.
Xu Shangguo was only fifty years old this year, thirteen years younger than his eldest brother, Xu Shangfeng. The girl in front of him was not even eighteen years old. She was a young girl from Xu Shangguo. Her name was also strange. Xu Fairy, but with her appearance and temperament, it was a little complementary.
Normally, not only Xu Shangguo, but even Xu Shangfeng doted on this little niece to the bone. Therefore, in the Xu Clan, very few people would casually enter the balcony of Xu Shangfeng's study. She also came and went whenever she wanted.
"It's fine."
Xu Shangguo was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at his daughter and stroked her long black hair with a smile. "Daddy is watching a play. Why are you here?"
"Ah, I also came to see the play. I heard that it's very lively outside. I wanted to go out. I originally had an appointment to go shopping with my friends, but Mom didn't let me go. She said that there was some chaos outside. Dad, what's wrong?"
Xu Fairy leaned closer to Xu Shangfeng and looked out. All she saw was the ruined central villa and the Mercedes-Benz in front of the villa.
"It's really fierce."
Xu Fairy stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Dad, who is so fierce?"
"Lin Shuhua."
Xu Shangguo did not conceal anything. He could not conceal anything like this, so he directly named Lin Shuhua.
"Ah? I know him. I have a good relationship with his girlfriend. We had dinner together before. En, there is also the Crown Prince, Wang Bolong."
Xu Fairy was a little surprised, "Brother Shuhua doesn't look like that kind of person."
Xu Shangguo smiled without saying a word.
Xu Fairy had been extremely intelligent since childhood. From elementary school onwards, Although he was not yet eighteen years old, But he was already a student at Huaqing University in Kyushu City, As a sophomore, if Lin Shuhua hadn't suspended her studies now, He should be in his senior year, Her daughter had completely inherited his character, with the younger generation of all major factions, Xie Yuanyuan, Lin Shuhua's girlfriend, was also a close friend. It was said that Xie Yuanyuan was pregnant accidentally when she was with Lin Shuhua. Xu Fairy accompanied her when she had an abortion. Xu Fairy would not tell Xu Shangguo about this matter when she returned home, but the bodyguard who secretly protected her had to report it to him.
"It can't be considered vicious. It's normal for him to have a grudge against the Lin Clan in the southwest. If his methods are a little too extreme, then it's normal."
Xu Shangguo said with a smile.
"Oh."
Xu Fairy nodded obediently. After a few seconds of silence, she asked again, "Dad, don't you care about this?"
"What do I care?"
Xu Shangguo smiled faintly, "Do you want to help the Lin Clan in the southwest or Lin Shuhua? It's not easy for me to interfere."
Xu Fairy's smiling face was also wrinkled into a ball, as if she was somewhat conflicted.
Xu Shangguo laughed and pinched her delicate nose. "I'm not worried. What are you worried about? Just treat it as a good show and watch this confrontation. It's quite interesting."
When Xu Shangguo said this, a group of around eight or nine people appeared in his line of sight.
In Xu Shangguo's line of sight, they walked out of the villa belonging to the Hong Clan. Under the lead of a middle-aged man with glasses, they directly passed through the crowd of security guards and arrived in front of the Mercedes-Benz. They knocked on the window.
Xu Shangguo narrowed his eyes and remained calm. However, he knew that the confrontation between Lin Fengxue and Lin Shuhua had been officially broken with the appearance of this pair of people.
However, it was hard to say whether these people were voluntary or invited by Lin Fengxue.
However, the key point was that this issue could not be ignored by Xu Shangguo.
