I Woke My Vegetative Husband up After Booktransmigrating Novel - Chapter 234
234 Passing Down The Head Of House Role
Everyone in the Wang family was waiting anxiously for their return. When they saw Wang Cong return, they all surrounded him and asked a flurry of questions.
“Wang Cong, where’s your father?”
“Why did you return alone? Where are your father and brother?”
“What happened?”
!!
Wang Cong’s face was sullen and he looked helpless. “Everyone, please calm down and listen to me,” he said.
The crowd immediately fell silent.
“The kidnappers took the money, but they also took father and brother away,” Wang Cong said. “They asked for another thirty million in cash.”
When the Wang family members heard this, they fell silent.
Thirty 30 million yuan was not a lot of money. To the Wang family, it was just a drop in the bucket. But it was still the Wang family’s money after all.
Wang Cong had already spent money on bribing the kidnappers… and a few members of the housekeepers.
He gave one of the staff he bribed a look, and that person immediately began to loudly exclaim, “No, the kidnappers will only become insatiable. We can’t give them the money!”
“That’s right. Although it’s not much, it still belongs to the Wang family. We can’t just give it away like this.”
“That’s right! The master will understand!”
Wang Rui was Wang Dalu’s younger brother and also the second-in-command of the family. He had had a very good relationship with Wang Dalu since childhood.
“Shut up, all of you!” Wang Rui said. “Without a head of the family, what will the Wang family do in the future? This money must be paid!”
The bribed person immediately became dissatisfied and gave a reason for objection. “What do you mean? The head of the family can be re-elected, while the money would just keep getting drained.”
“That’s right. The head of the family is already so old. This money might as well be used for the Wang family to run the company.”
Wang Rui angrily pointed at the crowd, but he could not find the right words to retaliate.
Wang Cong quickly went forward to placate Wang Rui. He said, “Second Uncle, don’t be angry. Everyone’s right. I think my father will understand.”
Wang Rui stared at Wang Cong in disbelief. Although this nephew of his only knew how to eat, drink, and play since he was young, he never expected Wang Cong to be so ambitious.
Wang Cong called for someone to—forcefully—take his uncle away to rest.
He looked at the remaining people and said, “Everyone, this is an urgent matter. Let’s vote for our next head of the family!”
Everyone nodded. This was the only thing they could do for now.
“Those who agree to pay another ransom, raise your hand,” said Wang Cong.
Only a few people in the crowd raised their hands. Everyone else looked indifferent. This was exactly what Wang Cong wanted.
“Alright, the majority rules. We won’t contact the kidnappers for the time being,” said Wang Cong.
The person who was bribed smiled and began to steer the conversation toward electing a candidate for the head position.
“Since that’s the case, our Wang family can’t go a day without a master.”
“Yes, everyone is here today. It’s a good time to choose the next family head.”
Wang Cong nodded in satisfaction. This was the most important part of today’s plan, which was to become the head of the family.
“That’s right,” he said. “Who would like to step forward?”
Everyone looked at each other. Most of them understood that everything that happened today was Wang Cong’s scheme. At this time, who would still dare to go forward and recommend themselves? Although the position of the family head was very tempting, one had to be alive to sit there. At this point, they were still uncertain about what happened to Wang Ming and Wang Dalu.
When no one spoke up, Wang Cong said, “I’ll recommend myself first. Although I rarely go to the company, I’ve been by my father’s side and know the company’s situation. If I become the head of the family, I guarantee that everyone will receive more dividends in the future, and the power of the Wang family will be greater.”
The moment Wang Cong finished speaking, the bribed person immediately started flattering him. “That’s right. Brother Cong has been by the master’s side for so many years. He must be the strongest candidate out of all of us.”
“Brother Cong, you’re also taking over your father’s business. You’re the reasonable choice.”
“Yeah! Brother Cong, you’re the family leader. We’ll prosper with you at the helm.”
The rest of the Wang family knew that Wang Cong would inevitably become the head of the family today. To them, it did not matter who was the head of the family. What was important was that they did not lose money every year.
“Anyone else?” Wang Cong asked. “If no one speaks up now, then from today on, I’ll be the head of the Wang family!”
Everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, which was equivalent to a tacit agreement.
Wang Cong was in a good mood. He did not think that he would be able to become the head of the family so easily. Cai Rixi’s plan was ingenious!
…
The next day, Wang Cong went to find Cai Rixi. He told her about how he had successfully become the family head.
Cai Rixi smiled and wisely stayed quiet. Now that Wang Cong was the family head, the next step was to use him and his resources to take revenge on Ming Liuyi!
“Darling, I knew you were the best,” said Cai Rixi. “You’re as good as your skills in bed.”
Wang Cong was proud, but he remembered his promise to Cai Rixi. As long as he became the head of his family, he would exact revenge on her behalf!
