Thus, Wang Erzhu became the wealthiest man in the three cities, with assets reaching tens of billions!
He also successfully entered the top ten ranks of the Huabei City rich list!
Although only tenth, his mystique was no less than that of the richest man, Liu Lianliang!
While Liu Lianliang rarely appeared in public, his appearance was known to some. But as for Wang Erzhu, some second-tier wealthy families didn't even know if he was male or female!
Wang Erzhu's fame soared, but this matter drew the opposition of the entire Zheng family. Erzhu had originally planned to leave Kaiyuan County today, but unexpectedly, he was blocked at the door by the Zheng family.
"Wang Erzhu, you are truly shameless! I don't know what despicable means you used to obtain the position of Zheng family patriarch, but we will not surrender to you!"
"Exactly! To let an outsider become the Zheng family patriarch, what was old man Zheng Chengbin thinking!"
"People from small places are always insidious, tricking the old man into a daze!"
...
As soon as Zheng Lin, Zheng Chengbin's niece, finished speaking, others chimed in with ridicule.
"Mr. Zheng asked me to. I didn't have any interest in your meager possessions!"
Seeing that someone was about to speak again, Erzhu recalled the scene from last night and spoke slowly.
Last night, as he was about to sleep, Zheng Chengbin found him and begged him to manage the Zheng family affairs, but Erzhu refused. Zheng Chengbin persuaded him again, even threatening suicide. In his desperation, Erzhu finally agreed to temporarily manage the Zheng family matters for him.
"Tsk tsk, nouveau riche, can't you die without pretending?"
"Asked you? Do we have no one in the Zheng family for my uncle to ask an outsider like you to lead our Zheng family?"
"As expected, people from small places are thick-skinned and dare to say anything!"
...
Erzhu originally intended to use these words to silence them, but instead, he received even greater ridicule. Some people had even clenched their fists, ready to attack him!
Erzhu shrugged helplessly, too lazy to explain to these idiots. He grabbed his suitcase and headed for the exit.
"Still want to leave? I'm telling you, nouveau riche, you're not going anywhere until this matter is settled!"
"What? Exposed for lying, you want to escape? Where is such a good thing in the world!"
"Yes, you must refuse the patriarch position, otherwise, the only one leaving here will be your corpse, Wang Erzhu!"
...
Seeing Erzhu about to leave, the Zheng family mistakenly thought he was speechless and trying to escape. Their attitude became even more arrogant.
Zheng Chengbin felt too ashamed about the matters of Zheng Jie and Zheng Tianming to tell the Zheng family, which is why the Zheng family misunderstood Erzhu even more!
Furthermore, although some of them knew that the richest men in Liuzhen and Linshi were both named Wang Erzhu, they assumed they were two different people and were unaware that these two people were actually one!
"Enough, all of you, shut up!" Just as Erzhu was about to force his way out, Zheng Chengbin suddenly came downstairs, his eyes full of anger!
As soon as he woke up, he heard the commotion at the door. He didn't want to reveal the truth, but for Erzhu's sake, he had to!
"Uncle, you've come at the right time! You must give us an explanation regarding the family patriarch!"
Seeing Zheng Chengbin, Zheng Lin shifted her attention to him, and the other Zheng family members echoed her.
Their Zheng family was a prestigious lineage, ranking among the top in Huabei City. If the patriarch were an outsider, wouldn't they be laughed to death!
"You are all branches of the Zheng family, what right do you have to manage the entire Zheng family!"
Zheng Chengbin took a deep breath. He nodded slightly at Erzhu as an apology before turning to the Zheng family.
"Then let Zheng Jie do it, or Zheng Chenglin if not, but definitely not this nouveau riche!"
Hearing Zheng Chengbin's words, everyone's eyes flickered, feeling guilty.
In fact, they knew very well that they were not qualified to be the patriarch. Let alone collateral relatives, some of them had already exceeded five generations!
But even so, they could never let an outsider benefit!
"These two colluded to harm me. If Erzhu hadn't saved me, I would have died long ago. Therefore, I have given the entire Zheng family to Erzhu, because only he can preserve our Zheng family's century-old foundation!"
Zheng Chengbin said, smiling at Erzhu, his eyes full of gratitude and affection.
Instantly, the scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Erzhu in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock!
The Zheng family and Zheng Chenglin had colluded to persecute the patriarch!
The patriarch had given the Zheng family to Erzhu!
These two pieces of news were like daggers, piercing their chests one by one!
So it was true that the patriarch had begged the nouveau riche to take over the Zheng family! This was simply unbelievable!
"Mr. Wang is not only the richest man in Liuzhen, but also the richest man in Linshi. Although Liuzhen is very poor, Linshi is the second strongest county-level city in Huabei City!"
Seeing that someone was about to speak again, Zheng Chengbin glanced at Erzhu and, after receiving his permission, revealed Erzhu's identity.
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene erupted in an uproar. Everyone's attention was once again focused on Erzhu.
"So you are that mysterious dual-city richest man. Mr. Wang, I have always admired you!"
"I always thought this was just a codename, I didn't expect the boss to be really called Wang Erzhu!"
"Mr. Wang, I apologize. I was too impulsive just now. Under your leadership, the Zheng family will surely be even more glorious!"
...
Within a few minutes, the Zheng family made a 180-degree turn. Everyone smiled and fawned over Erzhu, especially the beautiful women like Zheng Lin.
In their eyes, Erzhu was the epitome of a wealthy and handsome man. Even if they couldn't be his primary wife, being his mistress was a dream come true for them!
"Erzhu, thank you. Please take care of the Zheng family." Seeing the adoring gazes of the Zheng family, Zheng Chengbin's heart finally relaxed.
"Mr. Zheng, please rest assured and recover. We will begin the second course of treatment next month."
Erzhu nodded slightly, gave a few more instructions to the old butler, and then left the Zheng family.
He had wasted too much time in Guangyuan County and it was time to go home and visit. He also needed to find time to visit Huabei City.
Gazing at Erzhu's receding back, a trace of regret and loss flashed in Zheng Chengbin's eyes. He murmured to himself:
"Such a capable young man, if only he were part of our Zheng family..."
As soon as Zheng Chengbin finished speaking, the other members of the Zheng family nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with admiration and envy!
They had heard many stories about Wang Erzhu. Before, they hadn't connected Erzhu with that so-called richest man, so they hadn't paid much attention.
But this time, when they learned of Erzhu's true identity, they couldn't help but connect everything.
Leading the entire village to prosperity within half a year!
Becoming the dual-city richest man in Liuzhen and Linshi within a year!
Each of these achievements alone was impossible for them to accomplish, let alone all of them simultaneously!
