Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Xiao Lin, I know about the Talisman Making Club, and I won't let some people mess around. Don't worry about this."

Wang Tianfeng's eyes were hazy due to drunkenness, but his thoughts were still very clear.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, which meant that he was going to tell the truth after drinking, and immediately said: "Then Uncle Lao is here. My meaning is very clear. The Talisman Making Society and the Wang Family will benefit from the cooperation. They can have in-depth cooperation, but the Talisman Making Society The club is the academy's Talisman Making Club, not the Wang family's Talisman Making Club, this cannot be changed."

"Why are you talking about the academy's banner with me? It's obviously your Talisman Making Club. Xiaolin, you're not serious."

Wang Tianfeng pointed at Lin Yi with a drunken smile and said straight to the point: "We have a common enemy now. If Wang Tianwen really takes over, it will not be a good thing for you or me, so we have to join forces. Besides, we also We can be considered like-minded.”

Lin Yi chuckled: "I have no idea about married women."

"Who knows, maybe we'll discover a new world one day."

Wang Tianfeng showed a knowing smile that every man could understand, and then he saw that Tang Yun was looking at Lin Yi with obvious inquiry and suspicion.

"..."

Lin Yi was speechless. This kind of thing was definitely getting darker and darker, so he had to get back to business and change the subject: "Third uncle, why don't you tell me your plan?"

Wang Tianfeng finally looked like an elder, and breathed out a breath of alcohol: "Now everyone knows that Wang Tianwen and I are the two most likely popular candidates. As far as I know, there are people who have specially opened handicap, you know the evaluation Can you analyze my chances of winning?"

"How many?"

Not only Lin Yi, but also Tang Yun also pricked up their ears.

Wang Tianfeng raised a finger: "10%, that's all to take care of my face. They think my real chance of winning is actually less than 10%."

Lin Yi and Tang Yun looked at each other in shock.

According to the general perception, since both of them are popular candidates, and their identities and backgrounds are similar, they should naturally be equally matched. Even if one party is stronger, it is at most a 40 or 60 draw. How can there be such a huge gap?

"Weird, isn't it?"

Wang Tianfeng himself was very calm. He even leisurely replenished wine for Lin Yi and the others, then drank a few drinks by himself, and then slowly explained their doubts.

"In terms of background, Wang Tianfeng and I are both direct descendants. His grandfather and his father were the two successive heads of the family. They both have good reputations in the family. I can't say who is higher and who is lower."

"In terms of skill, the two of us have been competitors since childhood. We have won and lost each other over the years, but it is impossible to say that one of us can definitely beat the other."

"The difference lies in the third point, financial resources."

"The reign of his grandfather was the golden period of our royal family. The industry expanded rapidly, and the income almost doubled every year. It was logical that his team occupied key positions in the new industries, and since then the wealth has been abundant. Jin, it can be said that he actually controls more than half of the family's money bag."

"On the other hand, my father has been in office for many years, but there have been constant changes. Most of the energy and resources have been spent on crisis management. Although the situation has been stabilized overall, there is no time left to cultivate his own lineage. team, let alone profit from industrial expansion.”

After listening to these words, Lin Yi roughly understood Wang Tianfeng's situation. No matter where he was, running for major power was destined to be a money-burning activity.

If the other hard conditions are comparable, then whoever has greater wealth will naturally have a higher chance of winning. Especially when the financial gap between the two parties reaches a certain level, the result will be clear at a glance.

Tang Yun interrupted: "Third uncle also has advantages. The Supreme Elder prefers third uncle. He should be able to represent the opinions of many family elders, right?"

Wang Tianfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Yun'er, you don't understand. Although those elders usually support the Supreme Elder and echo a few words, it may not be the case at a critical moment."

Lin Yi added on the side: "According to the rules, the only ones who can directly participate in the selection of the next head of the family are these elders, so the odds offered by the public actually represent their true attitude. After all, those people evaluate this professional."

To put it bluntly, Wang Tianfeng, the so-called popular candidate, was brought up by the Supreme Elder alone. The so-called popular candidate was purely verbal.

"Well, wouldn't that be bad?"

Tang Yun originally thought that Wang Tianfeng would be a strong support and that his intervention would be enough to solve the Talisman Making Society's affairs, but she did not expect that she would be in such a situation.

Lin Yi smiled and said: "From a personal perspective, I suggest that you, Third Uncle, just quit. Why bother to be a thankless person and be someone else's example?"

"Actually, I think so too. Instead of having to fight hard for my family, only to be suspected and misunderstood by my own people later on, wouldn't it be better to live my own life comfortably behind closed doors? When I feel better, maybe in the future We can still make a breakthrough and look forward to the ultimate perfection of the giants."

Wang Tianfeng laughed at himself, shook his head helplessly and said, "But it won't work. No one knows Wang Tianwen's nature better than me. Once the Wang family is handed over to his hands, I'm afraid it will not be far away from the disaster of annihilation."

Lin Yi took a deep look at him, picked up the wine glass and said, "Since we have no choice, then we can make a careful calculation."

"It's time to make a careful calculation."

Wang Tianfeng smiled and clinked glasses with Lin Yi, and said straight to the point: "Wang Tianwen's strongest point is his financial position, and his most important campaign weapon can also bring benefits to everyone, so we will start from where he is strongest."

Lin Yi listened attentively: "Oh? Third uncle, please tell me carefully."

Wang Tianfeng said seriously: "Wang Tianwen took the lead in doing a big thing a while ago and reached a business cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce Alliance of your repeater college. I don't think you are aware of this, Xiao Lin?"

Lin Yi smiled: "Of course."

He was the one who pushed this matter, how could he not be clear about it?

"This cooperation is about getting what everyone needs. Both the Chamber of Commerce Alliance of the repeater college and our Wang family can benefit a lot. Originally, with Wang Tianwen's usual attitude, such a fat difference would not normally happen except for his own lineage. It falls on someone else.”

Wang Tianfeng paused, chuckled and said: "But for this election, he gave up the benefits he got. Those branches of the clan that had a little say have gained a lot of benefits. There were still many people who were neutral. He has a wait-and-see attitude, but this time his butt has completely moved away."

Lin Yi was surprised, Wang Tianwen was so popular, and he had a share of the credit?

"Wang Tianwen made a good move, but it also laid hidden dangers. After all, people are always greedy. What do you think will happen if the benefits promised to them suddenly come to nothing?"

Wang Tianfeng asked quietly.

Lin Yi replied: "Of course it means turning against each other."
