Chapter 5143 Tacit Understanding
Adams V smiled slightly.
"Mr. Lin, do you have any favorite candidate?" Adams V asked.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng. If the Adams family really joins 'G23', then this candidate will probably become the next head of the family.
Will it be Muse?
But everyone saw anger on Muse's face. What's going on?
Bastard! You actually want to propose Malone, Lin Feng, you bastard! What qualifications does he have to be compared with me! Muse was furious. Also, why did Lin Feng suddenly go straight to the point and propose Malone as the contact person. Damn, what did Casey say to Lin Feng this afternoon that made Lin Feng so anxious!
"As for me, I do have a favorite candidate. I believe everyone should have seen Malone Adams sitting next to me. As for him, I am very relieved, and he happens to be a member of the Adams family, so you can rest assured too. I think he will undoubtedly be the most appropriate candidate! Adams family head, what do you think?" Lin Feng smiled.
What! Malone! All those who were optimistic about Muse exclaimed. How could it be Malone! And those who had noticed a little clue before, all frowned. What was Lin Feng's intention in proposing Malone?
"Malong?" Adams V frowned slightly, "Mr. Lin, do you know that Malone was once driven out of the family because of his mistakes when he was young? Do you know about this?"
Lin Feng smiled.
"Master Adams, you said that young people made mistakes, and now Malone is not young anymore, he has repented long ago. In our China, there is a saying that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. What does it mean? It means that as long as the prodigal son is willing to turn back, he will not be replaced by gold, which means that this is rare. In this case, I don't think Malone is inappropriate, Master Adams, do you think it's right?" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Well, Mr. Lin, what you said does make sense. This matter..." Adams V seemed to be about to settle this matter.
At this time, Muse was anxious. If Malone really becomes the family contact person, then even if Malone returns to the family, with Adams V's love for him, it is hard to say whether Malone will become the head of the family in the end. If that happens, all his efforts over the years will be in vain. He will never allow this to happen.
Of course, Muse himself will not object.
"Father, I think this is inappropriate!" The second uncle on the side, he has no sons, only three daughters, so he stood on Muse's side early, "After all, Malone..."
"Shut up! This is a conversation between me and the head of the Adams family. When is it your turn to interrupt!" Lin Feng shouted.
At this moment, Lin Feng brought up this matter to cut the Gordian knot and send Malone directly to the Adams family. During this period, there will be many difficulties, which Lin Feng expected. Therefore, Lin Feng will never allow anyone to interrupt.
He did not discuss this matter with Adams V, but there is no need to discuss it between the two. Lin Feng believes that when he proposed to let the Adams family join 'G23', Adams V should understand his intention.
"Mellon, Mr. Lin and I are talking now, don't interrupt, lest we be mocked for having no rules in the Adams family!" Adams V showed his authority as the head of the family.
"Yes, father!" Mellon Adams gritted his teeth and sat down.
Of course, this is not the end of the matter. Adams V also understood that it was not so easy to let Malone in.
"Mr. Lin, Malone is indeed grown up now. From the fact that he followed you into the family, you can see that he is more mature than before. But after all, he made mistakes, and they were not small mistakes. It may be difficult to convince him to return to the family rashly! Although I am the head of the family, I have the right to let him return to the family. But if he comes back,
I am afraid he will still be resisted by family members, and he will not be happy in the family, and he may not be able to complete the communication work!" Adams V argued.
Many family members nodded. This makes sense, and it is also their voice.
Lin Feng smiled.
"I don't care what mistakes Malone made in the past, I'm not interested in knowing. I only know that I trust him and he is from the Adams family, that's enough. And whether you care or not, I don't care. I just want to ask you one question, is it more important for the Adams family to join 'G23', or is it more important for the old mistakes he made in the past?" Lin Feng asked.
Everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, what Lin Feng said was reasonable. Compared with joining 'G23', the mistakes Malone made in the past were nothing at all. Isn't it just incest? Which wealthy family wouldn't have such a thing. As long as there are many family members, there will be such dirty things. This has become a bad habit of mankind.
As for the embezzlement of family assets, it's only 1 billion US dollars. In fact, for some family members, Malone's embezzlement of 1 billion US dollars is a bit unwise, even a bit stupid. After all, his own trust fund was 10 billion US dollars at the time, and the annual fund dividends were several hundred million US dollars. 1 billion is really not a big number. Even if he was short of money temporarily, he could solve it through the trust fund, and he could use the trust fund to find a bank mortgage loan to repay it in installments. This was a bit surprising at the time. Later, most people accepted the reason that Malone was too young and made a big mistake.
So, if Malone can atone for his sins now, then why not! As for giving him an identity, it doesn't matter. After all, whether Malone returns to the family or not is irrelevant to ordinary family members. Only people on Muse's side will feel nervous. But if Malone comes back, will he be able to threaten Muse?
This is not entirely true! After all, Muse's performance over the years is enough to satisfy everyone. Malone wants to threaten Muse when he comes back, is this a joke!
Muse frowned. He knew that these people on his side didn't see as far as he did, because they didn't see Adams V's special feelings for Malone. Adams V was too good to Malone, although he didn't know what was going on, maybe because they looked alike, or maybe for some other reason, anyway, Adams V was very good to Malone, very good. And if Malone comes back, his position will really be lost. However, it seems that he can't object at this moment. Because the bait thrown by Lin Feng is too big.
So big that all family members can't refuse this temptation. Over the years, the Adams family has long lost the halo of the first family in the United States. I deeply understand that Morgan and Rockefeller have the final say in America now, not Adams. If Adams wants to restore its former glory, the first step is to join the 'G23'. There is no other way. Therefore, these clansmen agree with Malone's return. Because the family has moved to a higher level, everyone can get a share of it. This is something no one can refuse.
So, Muse must make a change.
"Master, I have something to say!" Muse stood up.
Adams V smiled slightly and motioned Muse to speak. However, Lin Feng could see that there was a hint of coldness in his smiling eyes. For Muse, the head of the Adams family probably wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Master, I think that joining 'G23' is an opportunity for our family. If Malone can make up for his crime, everyone will be happy to see it. After all, he is also a member of the family and my younger brother. I hope he can come back. But as a family, there is no order without rules. I think we should give Malone a chance. If the family can successfully join 'G23' this time, then we will accept him as a member of the family again. If not, then we will..." Muse said this and didn't say anything more, but the meaning of the words couldn't be more obvious.
If the Adams family can't join 'G23', then Malone can't return to the family naturally. And Muse's words are very beautiful, that is, he only said that Malone should return to the family, but he didn't say that he should become the heir. Returning to the family and becoming the heir are two concepts.
Sure enough, Adams V frowned slightly. Muse's beautiful words made it difficult for him to continue to support Malone and ask for an identity. Although he is the master of the family, it is impossible for him to cover the sky with one hand for such a behemoth as the Adams family. Even though most of his generation had died, there were still a few, and the younger generation was gradually gaining a say. He always had to be concerned. Of course, the most important thing was that there was a stain on Malone's side, which prevented him from going his own way.
"Master Adams, I don't care what your family decided. Anyway, I only have my eyes on Malone, and since he represents the Adams family and communicates with those families, he must have an identity. Regardless of whether he cannot complete the task and is kicked out afterwards, at least he must have an identity now!" Lin Feng said loudly, "This is my request! If possible, you can communicate with 'G23' starting tomorrow!"
At this point, Muse began to get a little crazy. Lin Feng's request was a bit too much. He actually asked for Malone to have an identity, an identity that was enough to communicate with the eight major families. And can this identity be an ordinary family member A, B, C, D? Obviously not. At least they all need the identity of the heir! But if Malone is given this identity, he will be in danger. In particular, once the family really joins 'G23', then he will be in real trouble. Maybe, Malone will become the next head of the family with this great achievement.
As for the scandals of incest and corruption he committed, it is nothing when the family joins ‘G23’ and is no longer controlled by the eight major families and obtains a lot of resources. Although there are still many people supporting him now, everything will change when Malone returns with the glory of helping the family join ‘G23’. At that time, these people will flatter Malone. At that time, Adams V only needs to spread the word, and perhaps these people will unanimously agree that Malone will become the next head of the family.
Once Malone becomes the next head of the family, he will be in trouble. He looks harmless now, but this does not mean that he will not seek revenge after becoming the head of the family. People will change, especially under the desire for power, people will change even more.
But can he object now? He can't object. Because joining ‘G23’ has become the wish of all Adams people of this generation. He can't stop it.
Damn it, how could he be so lucky that Lin Feng would help him out like this! Muse was filled with hatred. If Lin Feng was willing to stand by him, he could be the head of the Adams family now. But Lin Feng chose Malone, this waste. Wait! The only condition for Malone to become the heir is to help the family join the ‘G23’. Although everyone is very excited now, can the Adams family join the ‘G23’? As far as he knows, the relationship between Lin Feng and the families in the ‘G23’ is not particularly harmonious. At least when the heirs of the eight major families pursued Ivanka, he could see that there was a problem between them and Lin Feng.
So, is Lin Feng just bragging? Muse thought of this, and her heart calmed down and settled down for the time being. Maybe Lin Feng was just setting up a stage to give Malone a chance. Maybe the old man was also planning this way, first let Malone return to the family, then give him a name, so that Malone can gain a foothold in the family. Then he would talk about cleaning up himself and help Malone take the position. Even if he fails, as long as Ma Long has no opponent, he will still be the next head of the family. As for the criticism from the family, Adams V should have a way to calm it down.
But do you think your plan will definitely succeed? Muse forced himself to calm down. He didn't believe that joining 'G23' this time would be smooth. And he wouldn't let Ma Long delay the time. Moreover, he would find a way to calculate Ma Long, and of course, Lin Feng.
At this moment, Lin Feng also became a person that Muse must deal with as soon as possible. Although there was no hatred between him and Lin Feng, now there is, and the hatred is huge.
Lin Feng, you wait for me!
"Since Mr. Lin asked so, then from now on, Ma Long will return to the family and allow him to make meritorious contributions. And in order to facilitate communication, Ma Long will now be one of the next heirs to the head of the family. If he successfully joins 'G23', then Ma Long will have the qualifications to compete for the head of the family!" Adams V announced.
The members of the major family did not have much objection to this. Although the process was a bit fast and felt a bit hasty, compared to joining ‘G23’, everything can be accommodated and changed.
“Mr. Lin, are you satisfied?” Adams V asked with a smile. At this moment, Adams V was the happiest, because his son finally returned to the family.
“Of course, this will facilitate communication. But today, I have one more thing to say. But this matter has nothing to do with Ma Long. It’s about Muse!” Lin Feng smiled and gave Adams V a look to continue cooperating.
