End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 62: First Involvement in Clan Conflict
Teng Junze's expression remained unchanged as he stared back at his uncle calmly, "Uncle, what do you mean by that? I've been concentrating on martial arts training lately, doing my best for the family's glory. How can there be any secrets?"
His uncle, Teng Junhao, chuckled softly and waved his hand innocently. "Don't worry, nephew. I'm just concerned for you. It's just that you've been acting rather mysteriously lately, rarely going out, and even rarely attending family meetings. It's inevitable that people are suspicious." He paused, a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "Could it be that you've received some advice from an expert, or had some unexpected encounter that you're not comfortable sharing with the family?"
As soon as Teng Junhao finished speaking, Li Moushi beside him echoed: "Yes, the recent changes in the Second Young Master are indeed incredible. In the past, the Second Young Master was not keen on family affairs, but now he is suddenly so active. It is really hard to understand." There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, which made many people present whisper.
Some people who were attached to Teng Junhao also spoke up. Some said that Teng Junze was arrogant because of his talent, some said that he was forming a clique for personal gain, and some even hinted that he had ulterior motives and intended to seize the position of head of the family.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was tense and undercurrents were surging.
Upon seeing this, Teng Junze's ally, Scholar Wang, quickly stepped forward to defend him: "The Second Young Master is devoted to his family, so why are there so many speculations? Everyone, please don't listen to the slander and fall into this villain's evil scheme!"
However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.
Teng Junhao sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, with a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Maid Zhao, who was hiding behind the screen, had a clear view of everything that happened in the conference room. She quietly slipped out and prepared to pass the message to Teng Junhao.
At the same time, in the modern study, Fan Mengmeng was immersed in a pile of ancient history books and cases of family struggles.
Her brows were furrowed, her fingers tapping away on the computer keyboard, searching for information about ancient family power struggles.
The dense text on the screen made her feel dizzy, and she realized that the ancient family struggles were far more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.
She was worried that her modern knowledge might not be accepted and might even cause trouble for Teng Junze, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
"What if my suggestion doesn't work and instead hurts him?" she murmured to herself, feeling filled with anxiety.
At this moment, Teng Junze's voice suddenly rang out in the study: "Mengmeng, what are you looking at?"
Fan Mengmeng suddenly raised her head and saw Teng Junze standing behind her with a hint of fatigue and worry in his eyes.
Fan Mengmeng was startled and hurriedly turned off the computer screen, trying to remain calm: "No... nothing, just taking a look..." Her eyes flickered and she didn't dare to look directly into Teng Junze's eyes.
Teng Junze walked over to her and gently held her in his arms, "Mengmeng, you don't have to hide it from me. I know you have been worrying about me and the family's affairs." His tone was gentle, but with a hint of imperceptible fatigue.
Fan Mengmeng leaned on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided.
She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to say, "Actually, I...I have some ideas that might be able to help you."
Therefore, Fan Mengmeng explained in detail to Teng Junze her analysis of family power relations and the organizational structure knowledge in modern management, combined with the current situation of the Teng family.
She pointed out that although Teng Junhao seemed powerful, his foundation was actually unstable and he mainly relied on external forces such as Lord Zhang for support. He was also not united internally and this could be used to divide and disintegrate him.
She also suggested that Teng Junze build his own core team, cultivate loyal confidants, and consolidate his own power.
After hearing this, Teng Junze's eyes lit up.
He originally just regarded Fan Mengmeng as someone he could talk to, but he didn't expect that she could give such insightful analysis and suggestions.
His originally confused thoughts gradually became clear, and he had a preliminary response strategy in mind.
"Mengmeng, you are really my lucky star!" Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
At the same time, Zhao Maid sneaked into Teng Junze's room and searched everywhere, trying to find some evidence to bring down Teng Junze.
She pried open drawers, searched through the desk, and even checked under the bed, but found nothing.
The room was clean and tidy, nothing suspicious.
Zhao maid was confused, wondering if she had guessed wrong.
Is Teng Junze really just concentrating on practicing martial arts?
In fact, Teng Junze had been prepared for this.
He knew that his uncle was always watching him, so he moved all the important items and letters to a secret place in advance.
He pretended to be indifferent to lull the other party into a state of alertness.
Teng Junze and Fan Mengmeng discussed countermeasures in the study until late at night.
They analyzed the positions and relationships of each family member and developed a series of counterattack plans.
Fan Mengmeng's modern knowledge and Teng Junze's understanding of the family situation allowed them to see a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
"Tomorrow, I will formally propose a reform plan at the family meeting, starting with rectifying the family's internal financial management..." Teng Junze said in a firm tone, with a confident glint in his eyes.
Fan Mengmeng nodded, her heart filled with anticipation and worry.
She knew that this family struggle had just begun and the road ahead was long and full of unknown challenges.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Teng Junze walked out of his study, looked up at the starry sky, his mind filled with thoughts.
"Mengmeng, I hope we can go to the end together..." He murmured softly, turned and walked towards the back garden, a figure flashed among the flowers... "Is it you..." Teng Junze walked through the corridor and turned into the back garden. The cold moonlight sprinkled among the flowers and trees, casting mottled shadows.
A faint scent of jasmine wafted over, making him take a deep breath involuntarily.
The night sky tonight is exceptionally clear, dotted with stars, like sparkling diamonds inlaid on the deep blue curtain.
His mind was filled with the novel yet practical suggestions that Fan Mengmeng had just put forward, and an unprecedented hope rose in his chest.
At this moment, a slender figure flashed from behind the flowers.
Fan Mengmeng.
Teng Junze's heart skipped a beat.
She was wearing a plain white dress, and in the moonlight, she looked like a fairy who had strayed into the mortal world.
When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.
Teng Junze's eyes were filled with gratitude and love, so strong that it could not be dissolved.
How he wanted to go up to her and hold her tightly in his arms, telling her that she was the source of his strength and the brightest light in his life.
The same emotion flashed in Fan Mengmeng's eyes, but she quickly lowered her eyes, hiding that strong love.
She knew that at this moment, they could not indulge in romantic love.
The family crisis has not yet been resolved, and they still have a more important mission to accomplish.
After a brief eye contact, Fan Mengmeng nodded slightly, turned around and disappeared into the night, as quietly as she had come.
Teng Junze stood there, unwilling to leave for a long time, as if he could still feel her remaining warmth.
He clenched his fists and secretly swore in his heart that he must protect her and protect their future.
The next day, Teng Junze followed Fan Mengmeng's strategy and began to gradually implement new management methods in family affairs.
He first started by reorganizing the family finances and established a more transparent accounting system.
At first, some elders expressed dissatisfaction with this, believing it to be a challenge to tradition and an act of heresy.
Uncle Teng Junze seized this opportunity and instructed Li Moushi to spread rumors in the family, saying that Teng Junze wanted to use this opportunity to monopolize power and undermine the elders of the family.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion within the family, and the conservative forces' resistance to Teng Junze was growing stronger.
"Master, there are more and more criticisms against you in the clan now, which may be bad for you." Teng Junze's personal bodyguard said worriedly.
Teng Junze's expression was calm, a gleam in his eyes. "Let them talk, rumors stop with the wise. I will prove with concrete actions that my reforms are for the long-term development of the family."
At the same time, Fan Mengmeng once again came to the ancient times through the ancient and modern passage.
She taught Teng Junze modern statistical methods and suggested that he use data to demonstrate the advantages of family affairs management in the family meeting room to refute those questioning voices.
After hearing this, Teng Junze's eyes lit up and he thought it was a great idea.
At the next family meeting, Teng Junze took out a detailed family financial statement and used charts and data to clearly show the family's income, expenditure and the proportion of various expenses.
He used clear and concise language to explain the advantages of the new financial management system and how it could improve the family's economic efficiency.
After seeing these data, some elders who were originally skeptical began to re-examine Teng Junze's abilities.
They realized that Teng Junze was not just pursuing innovation, but really wanted to bring change to the family.
Uncle Teng Junze's face darkened terribly when he saw that Teng Junze was beginning to show his talent.
He returned to his study and slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground. "That little bastard actually dared to play dirty tricks on me! Li Moushi, do you have any way to make him shut up completely?"
Li Moushi smiled sinisterly, "Master, don't worry, the best is yet to come..."
Fan Mengmeng returned to the modern era again. Under the dim light, she flipped through the management books borrowed from the library with a frown on her face.
The conservative forces of the ancient family were far more stubborn than she had imagined, and simple charts and data could not completely convince them.
She needs to find a more effective way to help Teng Junze completely turn the situation around.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a book about "SWOT Analysis" (situation analysis method), and a new idea gradually took shape in her mind.
Back in ancient times, Fan Mengmeng explained the SWOT analysis method to Teng Junze and helped him analyze the family's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
Teng Junze listened attentively. He found that this analytical method could more clearly show the family's current situation and help formulate more effective response strategies.
"Mengmeng, you always bring me surprises." Teng Junze held Fan Mengmeng's hand, his eyes full of gratitude and love.
At the following family meeting, Teng Junze used the SWOT analysis method to list the difficulties and potential opportunities facing the family and proposed corresponding solutions.
His clear analysis and far-sighted strategy impressed the elders present.
Even several elders who had always opposed him began to seriously consider his proposal.
Master Wang even publicly expressed his support for Teng Junze, believing that his reforms were crucial to the family's future.
Uncle Teng Junze sat aside, his face ashen.
He didn't expect that Teng Junze could turn the situation around and win the support of some elders.
Back in the study, he angrily said to Li Moushi, "This Teng Junze is becoming increasingly difficult to deal with! We must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible!"
Li Moushi's eyes rolled and he smiled sinisterly: "Master, I have an idea..." He leaned close to Uncle Teng Junze's ear and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Uncle Teng Junze showed a satisfied smile on his face.
At the same time, maid Zhao sneaked into Teng Junze's study and told Fan Mengmeng what she had overheard.
When Fan Mengmeng learned of Uncle Teng Junze's conspiracy, her heart tightened and she realized that a bigger crisis was about to come.
The next morning, Teng Junze received a notice from his family asking him to be responsible for an important transaction between the family and the court.
This batch of goods is priceless and is related to the future development of the family.
Teng Junze felt that something was wrong, but he had to accept the task.
He vaguely felt that his uncle had set a trap behind him and was waiting for him to jump into it.
He looked out the window and thought to himself: Mengmeng, what should I do...
Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door. "Young Master, the master asks you to go to the hall immediately for a meeting." The guard's voice trembled slightly, as if something urgent had happened.
