That also meant that after the old master passed away and Steve became the patriarch, they would also slowly become a side family, and in the future, their descendants would have to be the same as those side families behind them, sitting on the sidelines in the audience seat being thankful for some petty favours from the main family.
Interestingly, Steve himself couldn’t see how happy he was at this point.
It’s no wonder, as he’s the only one on the scene, apart from Howard, who knows there’s a chance he won’t be able to pick up the slack.
As a result, he became even more desperate to go to Huaxia to meet Ye Chen.
After the meeting was over, each of these side family members left the Rothschild Manor in high spirits, while Howard called Steve alone to his study and instructed him, “Steve, this time when you go to Huaxia, you must think of every possible way to bring back the father and son of the Hogwitz family, those side families are waiting for the news of your success. ”
Steve respectfully said, “Don’t worry father, I will do my best!”
Howard gently nodded and continued, “These relatives, I usually can’t look down on them, but they are an indispensable force to consolidate your position as patriarch after you come to power in the future, so I set up the Clan Liaison Office this time to make them unite around the Rothschild family from now on!”
“With the grace given to them by this Clan Liaison Office, they will do their best to uphold the Rothschild Family’s orthodoxy in the future, and upholding the family’s orthodoxy is upholding their interests, and your father, I am the orthodoxy of the Rothschild Family in this generation, and you, as my firstborn son, and the first heir that I have already confirmed to the public, are the Rothschild Family’s orthodoxy in the next generation, so what I have done today is to make them unite around the Rothschild Family from now on! orthodoxy, so what I am doing today is paving the way for you, do you understand?”
Steve snorted in his mind, “Paving the way for me? My road is almost cut off by you, and you’re still paving the way for me? It’s more like you’re tearing down the road for me!”
If it was placed before knowing Ye Chen, Steve would have believed at least seventy per cent of Howard’s words.
However, given the insider knowledge that he had known long ago, Steve’s level of trust in his words was a complete zero.
In contrast, he knew more than Howard, so he could conclude that everything his father did today was to consolidate his position as patriarch, and the only reason why he said it in such a grandiose manner was to fool himself, continue to paint a picture for himself, and make himself a stupid crown prince.
The simplest point, if the old man really wants to pave the way for himself, then the person in charge of this clan liaison office should naturally be allowed to be himself.
However, he had avoided all the direct family members and appointed his most trusted professional manager to manage this office, wasn’t this for fear that the favours done by the Clan Liaison Office on the side of the collateral family would be wrongly credited to himself, or his other younger brothers?
The old master himself led the establishment of the office, the old master appointed his own beloved to fully manage, if in the future those collateral families through this office to get the benefits, heart grateful naturally is also the old master.
Imagine, when a person is not sure whether the boss’s son will lay off staff and replace them after taking over, or whether he will reduce his salary and drive them away, his boss suddenly wants to give him a 50% salary increase, and also puts out the word that he will help him to solve the problem of his wife’s job, his children’s insurance, his family’s home loan, and his parents’ medical care, will he look forward to his boss’s son’s taking over?
No.
He would only beg the Bodhisattva or God every day for a few more years of life for his wronged boss, because in case his son came to heaven some day, his good life might be over.
However, although Steve knew everything by heart, he still bowed respectfully towards Howard and said, “Thank you father for cultivating me! I will definitely live up to your expectations!”
