SWNOVELXO Chapter 12: Party... 3
Sun Zan soon arrived in front of a water pavilion that seemed to be hidden by the landscape.
Feng shui and shit… well, the bamboo blended with the water garden around very well and even he felt refreshed just being around.
Feeling a little nervous, Sun Zan straightened his suit subconsciously and walked in.
The closer he got the more nervous he became.
Don't say, his heartbeat directly synched with the sound of chess pieces hitting the board.
Taking a deep breath, Sun Zan smiled calmly and directly called out.
"Grandpa, Xiao Sun is here to see you."
"Oh, little monkey came earlier than expected. Come, let me see how big you have grown."
Sun Zan smiled helplessly when he heard this.
Call little monkey… doesn't that make you the old monkey? But he could only think about it.
Sun Zan walked obediently under the strong gazes of a dozen or so old men and arrived in front of his grandfather.
Sure enough, an old general is still a general.
Just the momentum is enough to make him feel overwhelmed… but thinking again, this was his own grandfather…
Nope, not working. Just stand honestly like a good student.
Sun Zan thought that with the system, he would at the very least have the confidence to stand in front of bigwigs like his grandfather, but that was not happening.
Actually, if you think about it, it would be quite unreasonable if he could do it.
First, he was just average in all aspects of his last life.
If we talk about disadvantages… apart from being poor and working hard for a living, there seems to be nothing. He was a good citizen all the way. Even a patrol guard could scare him if conditions were right.
If we talk advantages… well, he seemed to have none either.
Just work hard like everyone else and make enough to not starve to death and contribute to the Socio-economic machine of Longhan country.
In this life, he also lived a relatively simple life.
Just follow the plans and instructions of the elders of the family and wait to inherit the family fortune.
With parents like Father Sun who only thinks of running away from problems and Mother Sun who cannot wait to eat him but is afraid of the backlash… honestly, it is good that he turned out quite decent.
Anyway, he had never had so much pressure from… anyone.
Even his grandfather never revealed so much pressure in the past.
But this time, he did not let him go.
Sun Zan felt very small in front of such an aura, but this did not affect him the way one would think.
Instead, it affirmed that even with a cheating cheat like his, he still could not fight the giant machine of the Dragon Country.
He did not plan to anyway, so, it is good that the empire can have such strength.
Looking at the elders gathered around, Sun Zan once again thought about how to leverage their strengths.
These elders were the pinnacle of whatever unit or position they held.
Except for the 3 prime ministers… all 9 elders were present.
"Grandfather, Elders, Xiao Zan greets you."
"Good, good, good…"
Seeing Sun Zan's performance, everyone was satisfied.
At the very least, he did not cower in front of so many bigshots.
You have to know that all these people have seen all kinds of talents. They themselves have cultivated many talents, but very few could stand confidently in front of them. Let alone that they were a dozen or so.
Grandpa Sun also smiled brightly seeing Sun Zan's performance.
The reason he called him over in such a situation was to pressure him and let him not get too arrogant.
I mean, this guy just disrupted the whole corporate structure of the Old Sun Group on the first day.
It would be fine if the changes made were clear, but this guy made decisions that would only lead to more chaos down the line.
With such a structure, it would be good if the employee did not soldier and harvest leeks.
Don't think about competition and whatnot… this is the Old Sun Group.
What they deal with does not need competition and it would be even more of a dream to rely solely on performance to get promotions.
Ability is good, but if you don't pass review, let alone a promotion, it would be good if you are not taken to some army base to drink tea and discuss ideals.
"Xiao Zan, I called you here to introduce you to some of my friends.
This one here is called No. 4 and back then he used to run around the battlefield with a kitchen knife… now he is a starred general… don't need to know more but if you have any business with high restrictions, look for him. Come quickly and call grandpa…
That one…"
Well, talk about exhausting.
Sun Zan listened to the introduction of several elders until he felt his ears buzz.
Better yet, he had to talk to every one of them for a couple of minutes to get closer or something.
This one has several daughters and granddaughters to introduce, that one still has a project to entrust, the other wants to bring someone up to corporate and ride on the Sun Group to rise…
In short, it is no different from other interactions.
It is just that it is all called doing favors, respecting elders, and showing filial piety.
Don't think that just because they have high positions they can do anything… actually, it is precisely because they have high positions that they cannot do things the conventional way.
And this is where the Sun family thrives.
Sun Zan deeply felt the advantages of the positioning of the Sun family.
It is indeed bad if something bad happens, but it is very fragrant every other time.
Look, Father Sun can go to Afrika without taking pirates seriously.
Why? Because they would not survive the aftermath. Even if something really happened to him, the relevant parties would also have to go down with him.
Such a grand scene… not everyone can enjoy it.
Those who can are restricted in everything and would not go out casually.
