Chapter 1524: Let him recognize this reality

The top wealthy families in modern society are actually no different from the imperial nobles of feudal society.

The internal operating mechanism of every family is exactly the same as the royal family of a feudal dynasty.

In such a special environment, what determines status is not age or seniority, but titles and power.

Before it is decided who is the crown prince, the princes are generally on an equal footing, with only slight differences due to age.

However, even the eldest son is just the brother of the other princes, but still of the same generation as the other princes. It is impossible for the other princes to kowtow three times and bow nine times when they see him.

However, once someone becomes the crown prince and inherits the throne, all other princes, whether they are his older or younger brothers, must perform the rites of monarch and subject when they see him and must completely obey his orders.

This is the difference between monarch and subject.

The same applies to Su Zhiyu now.

Su Zhifei is her biological brother.

But once Su Zhiyu inherits the Su family, Su Zhifei will be her subject and must follow her lead in everything.

Even their father, Su Shoudao, is the same.

Therefore, although Ye Chen spared the lives of Su Shoudao and Su Zhifei, he must wait until Su Zhiyu inherits the Su family before setting them free.

Because he believes in his own judgment, Su Zhiyu is different from others in the Su family and will never do anything to return kindness with enmity. Therefore, as long as she holds the power of the Su family, he doesn't have to worry about what tricks Su Shoudao and Su Zhifei can play.

Su Zhiyu also understood Ye Chen's intention.

Therefore, at this moment, her gratitude towards Ye Chen was further sublimated.

Ye Chen said to her at this time: "The Su family has had so many things happen one after another, Su Chengfeng's pressure should be almost at its breaking point. What you need to do next is to gradually make him release more power and resources to you, gradually strengthening your right to speak in the Su family."

Su Zhiyu said: "Grandfather must be very dissatisfied with me now. I think he will definitely be on guard against me everywhere in the future..."

"So what?" Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "In my opinion, he currently has two core demands. One is that he does not want to hand over power, and the other is that he does not want the Su family to split or go downhill."

"To put it bluntly, the former is that he wants to ensure that his power in the Su family is not threatened while he is alive, and the latter is that he hopes that the empire he worked so hard to build can continue to be passed down after he dies."

"Although he must have many dissatisfactions with you in his heart, if he considers the future of the Su family, he cannot find a better heir than you."

"He is almost eighty years old, and at most he only has ten or twenty years of life left. Of this, half the time might be spent completely paralyzed in bed, losing the ability to act or even the ability to think."

"Therefore, the time he can truly hold the power of the Su family and control the lifeline of the Su family is only a few years. If he doesn't find a capable successor as soon as possible during these few years and help her consolidate her succession status, then once these few years pass, the entire Su family will begin to fall apart. By then, he might lie on a hospital bed and witness the Su family split and even kill each other with his own eyes."

"If you have the opportunity, you must let him recognize this reality and ask him if he is willing to bury the foundation of the Su family for decades for the sake of the last few years of comfort!"

Su Zhiyu said instructively: "Alright Benefactor, Zhiyu understands! Thank you!"

Just when Su Zhiyu realized Ye Chen's painstaking efforts, Gu Qiuyi had just finished her last rehearsal.

On the stage, she had gone over all the songs she was going to sing at tomorrow night's concert three times. Fortunately, she didn't need to sing with all her might, because the main purpose of the rehearsal was to confirm all the processes and details of the performance, especially the lighting, sound, stage art, and the live band and backup dancers.

After confirming that there were no flaws or omissions in the entire process, Gu Qiuyi was confident about tomorrow's concert.

Chen Duoduo walked onto the stage at this time, handed a bottle of water to Gu Qiuyi, and praised: "Qiuyi, the visual and auditory effects of this stage are really great! Not only did they exceed all your previous concerts, but even in my memory, I haven't seen a concert with such great live effects!"

Gu Qiuyi giggled and said earnestly: "This is thanks to everyone's hard work."

Saying this, she said excitedly: "With such a good hardware foundation, tomorrow I will definitely be able to give Brother Ye Chen an unforgettable birthday!"

Chen Duoduo curled her lips: "You only know your Brother Ye Chen. Don't forget, his wife will also come to your concert tomorrow night!"

Gu Qiuyi laughed: "So what? In my mind, my concert tomorrow is for Brother Ye Chen alone to watch. Everyone else is just an insignificant supporting role."

Saying this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say, the set of lighting and sound equipment that Su Zhifei got is simply far beyond my expectations. It is too luxurious to hold a concert with this kind of equipment!"

"Yes!" Chen Duoduo smacked her lips: "The investment in this area alone is higher than the income of the concert. Except for super live events like the Olympic Games, no one is willing to invest such a huge cost in commercial performances. If it weren't to please you, Su Zhifei couldn't have invested such a huge cost."

Speaking of this, Chen Duoduo suddenly remembered something and said mysteriously: "Hey, Qiuyi, do you know, that Su Zhifei just publicly made a decision on the Internet..."

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly asked: "What decision?"

Chen Duoduo said earnestly: "I don't know if this guy's brain was kicked by a donkey. He suddenly announced that he would set off from Jin Ling early tomorrow morning to go on a pilgrimage to the Jokhang Temple in the southwest border, and he would kowtow every three steps, kowtowing all the way there. This is a 4,000-kilometer road! The difficulty is almost catching up with Tang Seng going to the West to get the scriptures!"

Gu Qiuyi asked with great surprise: "Is he crazy? Why did he suddenly make such a strange decision?"

Chen Duoduo said: "This is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that this guy actually scolded his grandfather and father, saying they were full of sin, and that he was going on a pilgrimage to help them wash away their sins. Do you think this person is crazy? Can a normal person do such a brainless thing?"

"Besides, tomorrow is your concert. This guy has been busy for so long and spent so much effort, isn't it just for this concert? If he follows what he said and sets off for the Jokhang Temple early tomorrow morning, he definitely doesn't plan to watch the concert at night."

Gu Qiuyi also felt very puzzled. Although she was not familiar with Su Zhifei, these situations were indeed very different from Su Zhifei's style of doing things, which made her very surprised.

In doubt, she suddenly thought of Ye Chen, so she hurriedly took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Chen: "Brother Ye Chen, does Su Zhifei's matter have anything to do with you?"

Ye Chen received the WeChat content and replied with a dog-head emoji, plus four words: "What do you think?"

Gu Qiuyi sent a covering-mouth giggling emoji and also replied with four words: "It must be you!"

Ye Chen didn't deny it either and replied: "This guy played a bit too much. After I sent you to the venue today, he had people investigate my license plate number and even ran to the Dihao Group to put on a big show just to see me. So I gave him a little punishment."

Gu Qiuyi sent an angry emoji and then said: "Why did this guy want to investigate Brother Ye Chen's license plate number? Just because he saw me get off Brother Ye Chen's car?"

"Should be." Ye Chen laughed: "Maybe he has had a secret crush on you for a long time, so he was overwhelmed by his head." ===== CHAPTER 1525 =====
