Chapter 97 The Beast Succeeds, and the Three Great Elders Finally Appear

Upon hearing this, Xu Fugui almost instinctively frowned.

Grandpa? He doesn't seem to be that age yet, does he?

So he simply shook his head.

"I'm not old enough yet, am I? There doesn't seem to be any need for that. Calling me 'administrator' wouldn't be a problem."

Seeing Xu Fugui's nonchalant attitude, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong exchanged a glance.

They both clearly saw the dissatisfaction they felt towards Xu Fugui in each other's eyes.

However, while they might dare to scheme against He Daqing, they simply didn't have the guts to do so against Xu Fugui in front of them.

You should know, who was Xu Fugui before? He was also someone under the Lou family.

Or rather, both husband and wife were involved, with Xu Fugui even having done dirty work for the Lou family.

The other party's wife is still with the Lou family. It's not at the state-owned stage yet, and the Lou family's influence is still there.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai could only try to persuade him gently.

"Old Xu, I was thinking that calling us this makes us sound more approachable and fits our compound better, while calling us 'administrator' sounds a bit distant."

Although Xu Fugui vaguely guessed that the old man Yi Zhonghai was up to no good, he couldn't really refute this argument, so he simply nodded.

"Okay, then let's do it your way."

Upon seeing Xu Fugui relent, the two exchanged a smile, and Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly before speaking.

"Then let's arrange them by age. I'm the oldest, so I'll be the eldest grandpa. Then Liu Haizhong will be the second eldest grandpa, and I'll have to trouble you, Lao Xu, to be the third eldest."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai push his luck, Xu Fugui finally realized just how ambitious the other party truly was.

After all, before this, he and He Daqing were the real influential figures in the institute. Yi Zhonghai was just a guy who hid in a corner and didn't show off.

But ever since He Daqing left, his desires, or rather his ambitions, have gradually and thoroughly expanded.

Xu Fugui didn't really care about such a small matter, and since he had already agreed, he didn't bother to investigate it further.

After nodding slightly, a hint of dissatisfaction could be seen on Liu Haizhong's face.

You should know that this whole affair was orchestrated by his apprentice, and it was a plan provided by the Liu family. And now, the title of the so-called "real big boss" has been snatched away by Yi Zhonghai?

So after Xu Fugui left, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and couldn't help but argue about who was the eldest uncle.

"Old Yi, if I hadn't had my apprentices hold that little beast back, who knows what kind of trouble we would have gotten into, so this position of the eldest should be mine."

Yi Zhonghai, on the other hand, sneered inwardly.

He really didn't want to give the position to anyone else. After all, wasn't his goal in becoming the administrator to better build this facility into his own retirement kingdom? So he quickly offered a target.

"No, it's just a title. And look, we've all been appointed now. It's based on age, not any other ranking. More importantly, have you forgotten what we're supposed to do after becoming administrators? We're going to take care of that little bastard. Otherwise, if he keeps jumping out to oppose us, our compound won't be peaceful."

It was Yi Zhonghai's words that immediately dampened Liu Haizhong's initial desire to argue about it.

Looking back on myself, a dignified reserve leader, I was not only blocked in public by that little bastard Cao Wei, but also sent to a detention center to experience that kind of life. Moreover, after paying a large sum of money, my home was later visited by thieves.

Even someone as simple-minded as him could sense that something was wrong.

More importantly, Cao Wei ruined his first time as an administrator.

How could he possibly accept that?

Naturally, thinking about taking revenge on Cao Wei, he temporarily put aside this matter.

Just then, a bicycle appeared at the gate of the compound.

This immediately caught their attention, and they looked over.

There was only one bicycle in the courtyard, and the visitor was none other than Cao Wei.

At this moment, his expression was rather gloomy.

The appearance of Cao Wei caused the two of them to pause in surprise for a moment.

Yi Zhonghai subconsciously looked at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong looked at Cao Wei, who had appeared at the courtyard gate, and almost blurted out, "How is this possible, Cao Wei, you—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Zhonghai quickly slapped Liu Haizhong, forcing him to swallow the words he was about to say.

Liu Haizhong, who had just become an administrator, was about to get angry when he saw Yi Zhonghai approach and whisper a reminder.

"I guess your apprentice didn't completely manage to handle this kid."

When Cao Wei appeared, Yi Zhonghai was surprised, but that was all. After all, he had sent people to kill Cao Wei last time, but Cao Wei had escaped unscathed.

Although there was a suspicion that the other party had run away, considering the skills they had initially displayed, it was still plausible.

In a surprise attack, it's normal to fail if there's a slight mistake.

Despite this, Liu Haizhong still stubbornly retorted.

"But in terms of time, my apprentices at least managed to hold things off."

Yi Zhonghai could not refute this point and nodded.

He then looked at Cao Wei, who had walked in, and put on that hypocritical mask.

"Comrade Xiao Cao, you're late regarding the administrator selection. It's already over. Now, let me officially announce that after the election by the street office director, we have three administrators in our compound. Since we feel that being an administrator makes us seem a bit out of touch with the masses, we've decided that from now on, you can just call us 'Grandpa.' I'm Grandpa First, Liu Haizhong next to me is Grandpa Second, and as for Old Xu, he's Grandpa Third."

While Yi Zhonghai appeared to be enthusiastically introducing the situation, Cao Wei was not stupid. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's seemingly enthusiastic but actually boastful expression, he merely sneered and then said in a playful tone.

"Oh, sir, then let's hope that the two of you can stay longer than the previous so-called administrator, otherwise we'll have to hold another election, which is quite troublesome."

The threat hidden beneath this sarcastic tone nearly made Liu Haizhong explode with anger.

When I wasn't an administrator, it was one thing for you to mock me, but now that I'm an administrator, you're still mocking me?

He was about to say something, but Yi Zhonghai, who was standing next to him, quickly suppressed his anger.

It wasn't until Cao Wei returned home that Liu Haizhong, filled with anger, questioned Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, what were you doing just now? I'm an administrator, for goodness' sake, and he actually talked to me like that. It's really outrageous! Why won't you let me teach him a lesson?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"If that kid were so easy to teach a lesson, would it be your turn?"

"We've become administrators, but that's just so we can use it as an excuse to put pressure on that kid later."

"You've just become an administrator, and if all you're doing is creating these kinds of things, are you trying to be like that old Wang?"

After suffering several setbacks, Yi Zhonghai became increasingly cautious.

Listening to this analysis, Liu Haizhong gradually calmed down from his initial dissatisfaction.

Immediately afterward, when Liu Haizhong realized what was happening, his face turned pale, and he instinctively exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh no!"
