Peninsula: I, a chaebol! I will never follow hidden rules.

September 9th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. In South Korea, the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Chuseok, is a very important holiday, so the Koreans have always wanted to steal this holiday for themselves.

On this day, ordinary people in South Korea will also reunite with their families and prepare traditional foods including pancakes, stewed steak, flatbreads, stir-fried vegetables and rice cake steak.

The whole country was on holiday that day, but except for Li Zhiwu who had a broken leg, the five members of the Li family were all busy.

why?
Because it was a major festival, there were too many people visiting the Li family.

At this time of year in previous years, Li Zhixuan basically never showed up. Li Zhiwen was responsible for receiving guests, and the chief steward Li Taiguan was there to help.

This year, Li Zhiwen was still in charge of receiving guests, but he was only one of them because Li Zhixuan was also assigned by Li Zhengxian to receive guests, and Li Taiguan was also assigned by Li Zhengxian to help Li Zhixuan.

Li Zhengxian's reason was: "There are too many guests. Zhiwen can't handle it alone. Adding Zhixuan together will make it much easier."

That being said, Li Zhiwen knew in his heart that this matter was not that simple.

No one who could enter the Li family's gate to visit was a simple person. Why was Li Zhiwen responsible for receiving them in the past? Because Li Zhiwen was Li Zhengxian's successor.

Letting the family heir receive guests is not only a way to give the guests face, but also a kind of training for the heir and a declaration to the outside world.

So, with two people now hosting guests, what does Lee Jung-hyun mean? Is he trying to change the heir?
The most crucial thing is that Li Zhiwen was previously responsible for leading the relevant team of the Lee Group and the Zheng Group to bid for the land of the headquarters of the South Korea Electric Power Corporation. As a result, the bid document leaked, which led to Li Zhiwen's suspension.

So far, the Li Group and the Zheng Group are still arguing over this matter. Without a conclusion, Li Zhiwen will not be able to resume his job.

So theoretically speaking, Li Zhiwen is now basically a "commoner", and the only identity he can boast of is the eldest son of the Li family.

But Li Zhixuan's side is different. On his left hand is Xingji Entertainment, and on his right hand is Xuanxiao Group. Both companies are developing very strongly in their respective industries.

But the most important thing is not this. The most important thing is that these two companies are in the entertainment industry and e-commerce industry respectively. They belong to two completely unrelated industries, but Li Zhixuan has developed them both very well.

What does this mean? It means that the talent of the third son of the Li family was previously buried and suppressed!

Otherwise, why did he achieve nothing when he was at Lee Electronics, but took off after leaving Lee Group?
Then who suppressed him?
Now you know why Li Zhiwen was suspended?
This is how rumors are created.

Although there is clear evidence that Li Zhiwen was suspended because of the bid leak, people believe their own guesses more than the evidence.

Especially some people who call themselves "big shots" and "successful people" always have the illusion that everyone else is drunk but they are sober. Such people only believe in their own ideas.

So, something happened that broke Li Zhiwen's defense.

Except for a small number of smart guests who had the same attitude towards Li Zhiwen and Li Zhixuan, most of the remaining guests first smiled at Li Zhixuan, then put on enthusiastic smiles on their faces and turned to Li Zhixuan.

It seemed as if it had been confirmed that Li Zhixuan was Li Zhengxian's successor.

Li Zhiwen was about to explode with anger, but he couldn't show it, otherwise he would be accused of being narrow-minded.

After being busy all morning, the two brothers were able to rest at noon.

After seeing off the guests, Li Zhixuan lay down on the sofa and asked Li Taiguan to call a servant who knew massage to massage his waist.

This morning was so tiring, even more tiring than fighting in a group with my girlfriends.

"Above, above, a little to the left. Yes, yes, yes! Right here! Push harder, I'm taking the strain."

Looking at Li Zhixuan lying on the sofa in an unruly manner and directing the servants to give him a massage, Li Zhiwen sat upright on the sofa with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan thought to himself: This little guy is quite pretentious. He must be so angry that he is almost twisted, right?
Laughing inwardly, Li Zhixuan said, "Brother, why are you still tense? Aren't you tired? Take a break."

Li Zhixuan was just joking, but to Li Zhiwen it sounded like sarcasm.

"What's that? In previous years, I didn't feel tired even without you helping me share the burden. This year, with you helping me share the burden, I feel even less tired. It's so relaxing."

What's the point of mentioning the past? From now on, I'll take care of everything, so you won't be tired anymore.

Li Zhixuan was disdainful in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said, "You are in better health than me. I feel like my waist is about to break from fatigue."

"Did you break your waist from entertaining guests?"

Hearing this, Li Zhiwen quickly stood up and bowed to Li Zhengxian on the stairs: "Dad."

The servants and housekeepers also hurriedly bowed politely and respectfully to Li Zhengxian.

Li Zhixuan lay on the sofa without getting up, and looked up at Li Zhengxian helplessly: "Dear father, please don't play such a borderline joke with your son."

"..."

Li Zhengxian's old face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed. Then he glared at his rebellious son and looked at the housekeeper Li Taiguan.

"Taiguan, how is the lunch preparation going?"

"The kitchen is ready, and we can eat anytime."

"Then let's have dinner."

"Yes."

When he heard that he was going to eat, Li Zhixuan immediately stood up: "I'll go push my second brother."

"no need."

Before he finished speaking, Kim Baoying appeared in front of everyone, pushing Li Zhiwu in a wheelchair.

This guy's legs are both broken, and it will take at least three to five months to heal. Fortunately, there is an elevator in this house, so pushing him up and down the stairs is not a big deal.

Now that the whole family is here, let’s eat.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so the dishes for the Li family’s lunch today are all traditional Korean food, most of which are what South Koreans eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although Li Zhixuan was not used to the food, he was not unable to eat it.

But before eating, Li Zhixuan poured a glass of wine, then raised the glass with both hands and faced Li Zhiwen: "Brother, most people in this world are short-sighted. They are the ones who are short-sighted. So don't take some things to heart, there's no need to. Come, I'll toast you a glass."

After saying that, Li Zhixuan raised his glass and drank it all.

Li Zhiwen didn't expect Li Zhixuan to do this.

Get cheap and sell well!
Pretending to be a good son! Pretending to be a good son again! Xiba!
Although he was not prepared, Li Zhiwen was not too panicked. He immediately poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Zhixuan, you are worrying too much. I don't take such things to heart."

After saying that, he did it.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan smiled and nodded, then raised his glass and faced Li Zhiwu: "Second brother, I wish you a speedy recovery."

"Yes! Get well soon, Zhiwu!" Li Zhiwen quickly raised his glass in agreement. Only then did he realize that Li Zhixuan had taken control of the Mid-Autumn Festival lunch. This kind of thing should be handled by the eldest son, so how could it be the third son's turn?
Li Zhiwen was secretly resentful of not being able to keep up with the enemy step by step. However, he was not as miserable as Li Zhiwu.

For Li Zhiwu, the real murderer who broke his legs was right in front of him, but he dared not speak. When the murderer wished him a speedy recovery, he had to smile and thank him, then drink a glass of water with him instead of wine.

A healthy and living person was almost suffocated to death!

After bullying Li Zhiwen and Wu, Li Zhixuan poured another glass of wine, then stood up and raised his glass to Li Zhengxian and his wife: "Mom and Dad, I hope you two are in good health and live a long life."

Li Zhiwen quickly stood up and followed suit. Li Zhiwu really couldn't get up, so he could only sit and raise his glass.

Seeing this scene, Kim Baoying sighed in her heart, but smiled on the surface, while Li Zhengxian's eyes were full of relief when he looked at Li Zhixuan.

There is a successor!
After the opening performance, it’s time to have dinner.

While eating, Li Zhixuan suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the housekeeper standing next to Li Zhengxian.

"Uncle Taiguan, where are my mooncakes?"

"It's still being roasted. I'll go and urge them."

As he said this, Li Taiguan bowed to Li Zhixuan and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Li Taiguan came back with a servant. The servant was holding a tray with five small plates of mooncakes cut into small pieces. There was also a small fork next to the mooncakes.

Soon, the five members of the Li family had another dessert in front of them - the ProMaxUltra version of the five-nut mooncake.

The mooncake skin is baked golden and exudes an enticing milky aroma. The filling inside is a mixture of more than a dozen nuts, honey, milk, chocolate and coconut flakes, and there is no green or red silk added. The calories explode in one bite!
But! It smells good!
Moreover, this mooncake was not only fragrant, but also reminded Li Zhixuan of his hometown. He quickly finished the whole mooncake that had been cut into small pieces. Then, satisfied, he turned to Li Taiguan and said, "Uncle Taiguan, I have a lot of people over there. Ask the dessert chef to make more. I'll take some away for them to try later."

"Yes."

Li Taiguan quickly agreed and then went to the kitchen to pass on the message.

Li Zhengxian then looked at his beloved son with some confusion and said, "I never saw you like China that much before. Now, not only do you speak Chinese well, you love Chinese food and even eat mooncakes during the Chuseok Festival. You're almost becoming a Chinese."

"Are Chinese people bad? If we dig up our ancestral graves, we wouldn't necessarily find them to be native to the Peninsula, right? And within twenty years... you'll know just how good the Chinese are."

In fact, what Li Zhixuan wanted to say was that within 20 years, South Korea would have to change its big father again. However, considering their face, Li Zhixuan temporarily changed the line.

"Twenty years?"

Hearing this, the other four members of the Li family frowned. Li Zhengxian asked with some doubt, "Will it be so fast?"

Li Zhixuan chuckled. "Think about the Russians. Their empire collapsed in an instant. I overestimated twenty years. And does it matter whether it's twenty or thirty years? The important thing is not to wait until you hit the wall and do something at the last minute."

Yes! You must think of a way out and not be short-sighted!

Li Zhengxian now looked at Li Zhixuan with even greater satisfaction, and asked with a smile, "So, you're planning to invest in Huaxia?"

"Of course, if you don't invest in China now, your grandchildren may not be able to live the same life as we do now."

"That's right! Do your best. I support you."

Seeing that Li Zhengxian agreed immediately, the brothers Li Zhiwen and Wu were shocked. Because the "investment" that Li Zhengxian and Li Zhixuan were talking about was not just an investment, but a bet.

This matter determines the future of the family. Just agreeing to it without hesitation? Isn't that too much of a joke?
But what the two of them think is not important at all, and no one cares.

After discussing the important matters, Li Zhixuan changed the subject.

"Mom and Dad, are you going to Tara's concert tonight? I've reserved VIP seats for our family."

Jin Baoying was somewhat interested, but Li Zhengxian said directly: "You will be uncomfortable if we go, forget it."

After Lee Jung-hyun said this, Kim Bo-young stopped talking.

Then, Li Zhixuan looked at the two brothers Li Zhiwen and Li Zhiwu: "Big brother, second brother, what about you?"

Li Zhiwu's question was not whether he wanted to go or not, but he simply didn't dare to go. So he quickly smiled and said, "My legs are not convenient, so I won't go."

Li Zhiwen also shook his head: "I'll stay at home with my parents."

Wow! Is it finally your turn to act like a filial son?
"Ok."

Li Zhixuan pretended to be a little regretful about the rejection of the Li Zhiwen and Wu brothers, but he was actually very satisfied in his heart.

At this time, Jin Baoying suddenly spoke: "After the concert, bring Xica and Irene back for a midnight snack."

"Huh?" Li Zhixuan was shocked. He even suspected that he had misheard. But when he saw the father and his two sons beside him were also surprised, he knew that he had not misheard.

"You actually let them into our house?"

Jin Baoying rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Are they really them? They are the mothers of my grandson. It's a big holiday, I have to be close to them and have fun with them."

"Okay! I'll bring them back to see you after the concert."

Li Zhixuan readily agreed, and the two brothers next to him became more and more anxious.

After lunch, Li Zhixuan left the Li family mansion and went to Lelang Security, where he met An Jae-hee and Kim Go-eun.

"Everything has been fine for the past week. I have a feeling tonight's concert might not be peaceful. How are your preparations going?"

It has been eight or nine days since Kim Taeyeon was assassinated, but Li Zhixuan is not relieved. Instead, he is even more worried.

All his women will be at the concert tonight, so nothing can go wrong.

An Jae Hee quickly said, "It's ready. I arranged it myself to make sure everything goes well!"

"Where are you?"

Jin Gaoen bowed and said, "I'm ready too. Xue Zaigen will definitely die!"

They both seemed quite confident, but Li Zhixuan felt a little nervous, as he always felt that there was something missing.
How could there be any omissions?
Eh? !

Suddenly, something flashed in Li Zhixuan's mind, and he took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Yongjun, where are you? Come to Lelang Security. I'll treat you to a concert tonight."
