My Stunning Beauty Special Agent Wife

After pondering for a while, Yang Chen sent a message to Luke Leonard, arranging a video conference at 8 AM the next morning, and then went to rest.

However, on Cloud Mist Mountain, tonight was destined to be sleepless.

In the villa's conference hall, a group of people was engaged in a heated discussion.

Left Envoy Yang sat in the center, calmly watching the crowd disputing and waiting.

Behind her stood Housekeeper Zhang.

To her left sat the Seventh Young Master with a cold expression.

Seated below were members of the nine families, including Elders and those with significant power.

Their intense debate arose because Left Envoy Yang presented them with a daunting challenge.

As the Left Envoy of the Nine Venerables, Left Envoy Yang informed them in the name of the Nine Venerables that they had decided to truly unite the nine families, establish Ancheng, form an absolutely unified force, and consolidate the industries of the nine families to create the Nine Venerables Group, possibly even advancing towards a large conglomerate.

However, people have their own interests, as they are not from the same family.

As soon as they heard this news, it caused an uproar.

The majority disagreed.

For example, the Ban family, the Wu family, the Xiang family, the Bai family...

Of course, there were also those who agreed, such as the Yun family.

Cloud's Seventh Young Master was the first to raise his hand in agreement, also casting a threatening glance at the others. The look seemed to say, "Our Yun family has agreed, why are you still hesitating?"

This debate went on for over an hour, with no conclusion.

Finally, Zhang Yiran spoke up.

Zhang Yiran leaned back in the chair, fiddling with a paper fan, and said slowly, "Firstly, while our Zhang family is one of the nine families of Ancheng, we are not located within Ancheng. So, regarding development in Ancheng, our Zhang family will not be heavily involved. However, if Left Envoy Yang insists on this matter, I can cast a supportive vote, contributing our Zhang family's industries in Ancheng to support Left Envoy Yang."

The Zhang family has already fully cooperated with Yang Chen, so joining the Nine Venerables is out of the question, but a little support is still possible.

The Bai family members brightened at this, inwardly admiring Zhang Yiran's cleverness, no wonder he is a candidate for the Patriarch.

Immediately, an Elder from the Bai family said, "Over the years, there's been both competition and cooperation among our various families, and we're all very familiar with each other. Cooperation is not impossible, but if we want to integrate completely at once, it's certainly a huge challenge. Since the Venerable Master has this intention and Left Envoy Yang has personally proposed this suggestion, our Bai family is very supportive. However, we feel that directly entering full cooperation is too difficult. We are willing to contribute a portion of our industries to join the Nine Venerables Group to try cooperation. If the effect is good, we can then consider later cooperative projects."

The Wu family immediately expressed a similar stance.

They are all old hands and naturally understand the evasion implied within.

Claiming to agree to cooperate by offering some minor industries to unite, but when it's time to truly integrate, they will certainly disagree, and this matter would naturally fizzle out.

Immediately, everyone expressed support, only offering a small portion of their industries for collaboration.

For them, supporting Nine Venerables' policy still allows their industries to operate as usual. If Nine Venerables' people truly step in to manage later, so be it.

If managed well, the profits are theirs, but if managed poorly and money is lost, then don't bring up later integration matters.

Even if managed well, they can delay indefinitely, using some means, making later integration even more distant.

They are independent families, after all, it's impossible for them to be absorbed by the Nine Venerables, otherwise, what advantage would they have? Wouldn't they just become subordinates under Nine Venerables?

Initially, they agreed to establish Nine Venerables not with this in mind, only to have an organization for united external action, as well as serving as a mutual check among the families, not allowing Nine Venerables to ride on their shoulders.

Left Envoy Yang listened and sighed slightly in her heart.

She had long anticipated this outcome.

The various families have long been accustomed to their autonomy, and conflicts among them make it impossible to merge together.

However, this result is what Left Envoy Yang is happy to see. After all, at the beginning, it is impossible to consolidate all families at once, and since everyone agrees to try, this is good news.

She believes that with gradual development in the future, all nine families will eventually truly come under Nine Venerables.

At this point, Left Envoy Yang nodded slightly and said, "Since it's like this, thank you all for the support. I hope this is a good attempt and believe it will yield positive results. Thank you for your trust and support in my work and in Nine Venerables!"

The others hastily responded: "This is what we should do!"

"Nine Venerables belong to everyone, and we all maintain it together!"

"Indeed! Since Left Envoy Yang said so, how can we not support your work!"

"Supporting Nine Venerables is supporting ourselves, what's the problem with that!"

"Working alongside Left Envoy Yang is a kind of happiness too!"

...

Left Envoy Yang nodded slightly and said seriously, "In that case, it's late now. Everyone, please go rest, and at 2 PM tomorrow, we will meet here again to study the work needed for integration and the industries each family needs to provide."

Upon hearing this, people's faces turned pale.

They hadn't expected Left Envoy Yang to be in such a hurry, actually wanting to get to work immediately!

Though they verbally agreed, they still needed to report to their Clan Leaders, and specific matters required detailed discussions, which is not feasible time-wise.

Too many things are entangled in this, but Left Envoy Yang's urgency caught them off guard.

"That's it, it's late, everyone, go rest!" Left Envoy Yang didn't give them a chance to refuse and got up to leave.

Housekeeper Zhang began to see everyone out.

Leaving one by one with gloomy faces, they sighed as they left.

They had known today's banquet wouldn't be simple, but they hadn't expected it to be truly a Hongmen feast, catching them unprepared.

After returning, not to mention resting, even tomorrow might not allow rest; to have a proposal ready by tomorrow afternoon would be good enough.

Meanwhile, they also started to be vigilant, pondering what Nine Venerables truly wanted to do!

They had never seen that legendary Venerable Master.

They only know that the Venerable Master's power is unpredictable, able to suppress the nine families single-handedly, a truly terrifying figure; yet they have no idea who this Venerable Master is, much less seen.

Perhaps only the family Clan Leaders truly know the identity of the Venerable Master!
