A large photograph of Sawa, shrouded in black gauze, hung on the wall at the front of the room . 　　All the Nationalist Party's bigwigs and key figures of the Xiwan family, except for Chu Yun, were present. At the beginning of the meeting, everyone 　　stood and observed a moment of silence for the portrait of the late Chairman Sawa. 　　Sawa had died a day earlier at St. John's Hospital. Although the hospital used all its resources and methods 　　to save him, even bringing in authoritative experts from Singapore and the United States, Sawa's injuries were too severe, and 　　he succumbed to his injuries after barely surviving for five days. In fact, he had never 　　regained consciousness since receiving treatment at the scene of the car accident. 　　With his passing, the living faced the enormous problem of how to fill the void he left behind. 　　The Xiwan family's original plan was for Song Tao to govern and Sawa to manage business. Since Song Tao was forced into exile, Savat had 　　become a figurehead in both politics 　　and business. However, he had also been proactive, gradually transferring the burden of the family business to Yin Nan. Now, with Savat's sudden death, the question of who will shoulder these two heavy responsibilities has become an unavoidable 　　issue. 　　In fact, during the days Savat was in the hospital, the Sivan family, including Song Tao himself who was abroad, had been 　　holding intensive discussions on this matter, and Yin Nan had even made a special trip to Singapore. Now, with Savat's passing 　　, this issue has been brought to the forefront and has become urgent. 　　The news of Savat's car accident had a huge impact on the Orange Scarf groups inside and outside WY City, with everyone praying 　　for his recovery. Yesterday, as soon as news of Savat's death broke, it immediately triggered an explosive reaction. 　　Some radical Orange Scarf groups directly targeted the Aung Pan government, claiming it was a political assassination, vowing 　　revenge, and were already eager to take action. However, another part of the Orange Scarf group lamented the 　　darkness and treacherous nature of politics, their morale plummeting, and they seemed poised to back down. The situation no longer allowed the Sivan family to waver; 　　they had to immediately appoint a successor to Shava in order to stabilize their position. 　　Those present today were all core figures of the Songtao faction. Everyone knew that the family leaders had already held secret 　　meetings, so their eyes were fixed on Wen Sha, who was temporarily presiding over the meeting, waiting for his statement. 　　Wen Sha cleared his throat lightly and said, word by word, "Mr. Shava is gone, and 　　someone must shoulder the burden he left behind. Everyone has been thinking about and discussing this matter these past few days. Today we must make a decision." 　　He paused here, seemingly waiting for everyone's opinions. But the meeting room fell silent; no 　　one spoke. Wen Sha didn't seem to be in a hurry. His gaze swept across the faces of the attendees, finally 　　settling seemingly unintentionally on Yin Nan. After a brief pause, his gaze shifted to the portrait of Sawa on the distant wall 　　. He spoke calmly, "Since everyone is silent, I will convey Mr. Song Tao's opinion." 　　Upon hearing that it was Song Tao's opinion, everyone immediately perked up their ears. Although Song Tao was abroad, he 　　remained the patriarch of the Xiwan family in everyone's hearts, and the spiritual leader of the Nationalist Party's Orange Scarf Corps. 　　Wen Sha understood everyone's feelings and didn't beat around the bush, saying directly, "Mr. Song Tao's 　　opinion is that the responsibility of the Xiwan family should be shouldered by my younger sister, Yin Nan." 　　As soon as Wen Sha finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to Yin Nan, but these gazes were full of trust, 　　without any surprise. In fact, everyone present knew very well that, in terms of ability and prestige, with Song Tao in exile 　　, only Wen Sha and Yin Nan were currently qualified to take on this heavy responsibility within the Xiwan family. 　　Seeing the trusting looks on everyone's faces, Wen Sha seemed to relax considerably. He cast an encouraging glance at Yin Nan, let out 　　a long sigh, and took the lead in expressing his opinion: "I personally support Mr. Song Tao's opinion. Brother is right. 　　The experience of the political battles between the government and the opposition over the past two years shows that we old guys are outdated. 　　Our opponents, especially the younger generation of politicians represented by Ang Pan, have indeed greatly exceeded our 　　expectations. They are ruthless, unscrupulous, and even unscrupulous. And we, 　　in front of them, appear lacking in vigor. Our steady and cautious approach is clearly at a disadvantage, allowing us to be 　　led by the nose at every turn. Now, it's time to let them see our new force." 　　Wen Sha's statement was agreed upon by most of the attendees. Everyone unanimously thought of his own 　　experience of being overturned by his opponent in the election with almost childish tactics. Almost everyone shared his feeling that, 　　over the past two years, Song Tao's faction had the support of the people, but had been dancing to the tune of their opponents, clearly showing more 　　prudence than vigor. Despite having the upper hand in every aspect, they were repeatedly overturned by their opponents, leaving everyone 　　seething with resentment. 　　Seeing that the attendees had no objections to Song Tao's proposal, their attention returned to Yin Nan 　　. She, the person directly involved, hadn't expressed her opinion yet, and everyone still harbored a slight worry 　　. After all, Yin Nan was only a young woman in her thirties; could she shoulder such a heavy responsibility 　　? 　　Yin Nan clearly understood everyone's feelings. She nodded steadily and said, "My brother proposed it, and everyone seconded it. Since 　　everyone trusts me, as a member of the Xiwan family, I naturally have no choice but to take on this responsibility." 　　Seeing Yin Nan's composed attitude, the attendees breathed a sigh of relief. However, at this moment, they heard Yin Nan say, 　　"Everyone trusts me, and I can shoulder this responsibility. However, some technical issues also need to be handled properly." 　　"You mean…" Wen Sha looked at Yin Nan, thoughtfully asking. 　　"For example, I'm currently the chairman of the board of directors of the Xiwan Group. If I were to take over my third brother's position in the KMT 　　, there would be a conflict of interest. If this isn't handled properly, our opponents might seize on it. 　　But if I step down as chairman of the board of directors of the Xiwan Group now, who will succeed me? The Xiwan Group is our 　　foundation, and these are turbulent times. If we're leaderless for a while, it could cause serious trouble." 　　Yin Nan's words caused a moment of silence in the conference room. Clearly, Yin Nan had given this matter considerable thought. Her suggestion...

The problem is very real. Given the current complex situation and the ruthless tactics of political enemies, one wrong move
could lead to total defeat.
In fact, everyone simultaneously thought of one person: Chu Yun. Only then did everyone realize
the foresight of Yin Nan and Sha Wa; they had already laid the groundwork before the crisis even showed signs of abating. Chu Yun had already joined
the board of directors, gaining experience in the group's management. Although her time there was short, she had already demonstrated her keen
insight and remarkable talent. If Yin Nan were to enter politics, Chu Yun would indeed be
the perfect candidate to take over the Xi Wan family business.
The only drawback was that Chu Yun was young and had only recently married into the Xi Wan family;
no one was sure if she could handle the situation. Furthermore, she had just given birth and experienced family hardship. Under these circumstances, whether she could be chosen to
succeed Yin Nan was a big question mark in everyone's mind. However, everyone kept their thoughts to themselves, and no one
voiced them.
Yin Nan clearly knew what everyone was thinking. She looked at Wen Sha with some difficulty and said, "Actually, it's not that we
don't have resources to mobilize, but now is really not the right time..."
"Very well..." After a moment of silence, Wen Sha nodded heavily and said decisively, "
Everyone is well aware of the current situation. We certainly have people we can use. But as Yin Nan said, the timing
isn't right. We can't be unreasonable and force people to do things against their will. Our family has suffered a major upheaval, and there are many
follow-up matters that need to be arranged and handled. The person involved also needs time to recover from the trauma; otherwise, even if we force them out ,
they won't be able to work normally.
All of this takes time. Given this situation, I propose a transitional workaround."
"Oh..." Wen Sha's words made everyone's eyes light up. Even Yin Nan looked at him hopefully, waiting for him to
continue.
After briefly organizing her thoughts, Wen Sha said, "Yin Nan is right. We're facing a dilemma. If
she abandons business for politics now, the Xiwan Group will be leaderless and its future uncertain. If she doesn't
resign, our opponents will definitely seize on this. Given the underhanded tactics of people like Ang Panhimani,
it's hard to predict what they might do.
However, since we're dealing with petty people, we don't need to be so virtuous
. Let's make some compromises. I can step in to fill the vacancy, while Yin Nan will manage things behind the scenes. Her position in the Xiwan Group can
remain unchanged for now. After the transition of Xiwan Enterprises is complete, Yin Nan can step into the limelight at an opportune time. This way, we can
balance both sides and be foolproof."
After Wen Sha finished speaking, no one spoke for a moment; everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Wen Sha looked at everyone
, smiled, and continued, "Actually, I had another consideration in making this suggestion.
Our opponents have always been ruthless and unscrupulous. Their use of the so-called
TV commercial to target me last time is an example. This time, the car accident involving the Sawa father and son also has many suspicious points. Although the police are inclined
to close the case as a simple car accident, we will never let it go so easily; we must thoroughly investigate the truth. If they won't investigate,
we'll investigate ourselves.
In such turbulent times, it's best not to reveal our trump cards at the beginning. I'm
already over sixty years old; let them use whatever methods they have against me. Yin Nan
can choose the right time to step in and deliver a fatal blow to them unexpectedly."
"I think Wen Sha's suggestion is a foolproof plan," Yao Pa, sitting next to Wen Sha, said first.
The others, who had been whispering and exchanging opinions, also expressed their agreement upon hearing Yao Pa's statement. Yin Nan
looked at Wen Sha gratefully and said sincerely, "Second brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
Seeing that everyone had expressed their support, Wen Sha waved his hand and said, "We're all family, don't mention the hard work
. Now that the most important matter is resolved, I think we should discuss our next course of action?"
Before Wen Sha could finish speaking, Ananta chimed in, "Mr. Sawa already determined our
next course of action while he was here, and we've all made preparations according to that. Now, shouldn't we discuss
the specific action plan?"
Wen Sha turned to Yin Nan: "Yin Nan, you're in charge now. These major policies still need your approval."
Seeing everyone's attention turned to her, Yin Nan pondered for a moment and confidently said, "Regarding our
major policies for dealing with the current complex situation, I do have some ideas that differ from Third Brother's. Since everyone wants
to hear my opinion, I'll share them for discussion."
Hearing that Yin Nan had ideas different from her predecessor's established policies from the very beginning, everyone present
perked up, waiting for Yin Nan to continue.
Yin Nan felt the attention on everyone's faces, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "I've been focusing most of my energy
on the group's business lately. Although I've been involved in the Orange Scarf group's affairs, I haven't really offered any opinions.
Actually, I've long felt that perhaps we need to adopt a more proactive strategy."
At this point, Yin Nan subconsciously glanced at Wen Sha and continued, "I know that Third Brother and his generation
have their own principles and beliefs, firmly believing that good will prevail over evil, that the innocent will be proven innocent, and that facts and time will prove everything.
This was also Third Brother's basic consideration in choosing to let the Ang Pan government clean up their mess.
But now we're facing a group of scheming, unscrupulous people. They simply won't
act like we do..." Considering the long-term interests of the country and its people, they only care about their own immediate
interests. They don't care how badly the country gets messed up; at worst,
they'll just dump the mess on someone else, and then come and take it all back without hesitation.
Therefore, I think we shouldn't let them continue to act recklessly, nor should we fantasize that they'll clean
up the mess they created. Since we'll have to clean it up sooner or later, why
don't we act now and force them to step down? Dragging it out will only make things worse, leaving us with even bigger problems in the end.”
Yin Nan paused here, her gaze sweeping over everyone present, waiting for their reactions.
“You mean, we should shout slogans demanding Aung Pan's resignation?” Ta Nong asked Yin Nan earnestly.
"Yes," Yin Nan nodded without hesitation.
"Yes..." Yao Pa sighed and interjected, "As long as our Xiwan family doesn't intend to withdraw from ZX politics
, no matter who created this mess or how bad it is, we'll have to clean it up in the end. My
eldest brother cleaned it up for them once in '97. This time, rather than letting them make things unmanageable again, we should
stop them now. I agree with my younger sister's idea; let's stop playing games with them and remove Ang Pan from
power now."
Yao Pa's words set the tone for everyone, and everyone present agreed with Yin Nan's proposal.
Seeing that everyone's opinions were converging, Wen Sha immediately offered his supplementary opinion: "If we're going to do something,
we'll do it with all our might. Since we're determined to remove Ang Pan from power, I think we need to launch two simultaneous initiatives, one inside and one outside the political arena
."
"Mr. Wen Sha means..." Ananta voiced the question on everyone's mind.
"What I mean is, on the one hand, the Orange Scarf protesters are chanting slogans demanding the current government hand over power and step down; on the other
hand, our members of parliament are initiating a vote of no confidence against the Aung Pan government in parliament. We're doing this on two fronts, giving them no
chance to breathe." "However, 　　" Tha Nong expressed his concern, "
with the current voting mechanism in parliament, it's difficult to guarantee that a vote of no confidence will pass and remove the Aung Pan government from power." 　　Yin Nan smiled slightly and answered for Wen Sha, "Actually, whether the no-confidence motion passes or not isn't important. What's important 　　is putting this matter on the table. If it doesn't pass the first time, we'll try again; if it doesn't pass the second time, we'll try a third. The Aung 　　Phan government has committed numerous atrocities this past year, and we have many issues at our disposal: the resurgence of drugs, universal social 　　security, civil servant salary increases… 　　The key is that each vote gives those so-called Democratic Alliance's vassal parties a chance to appear, to let them 　　choose which side to stand on in front of the entire nation, and to see if they are truly interested and have the courage to be buried with Aung Phan. 　　I believe this so-called Democratic Alliance's iceberg will soon melt away in the sunlight. 　　Of course, the real battleground is outside the arena, on the streets. What truly chokes Aung Phan is the million-strong Orange Scarf 　　protest army. Therefore, we must plan our demonstrations carefully, one wave higher than the last, leaving the Aung Phan government nowhere 　　to hide." 　　"Will the military intervene?" Tanong was still somewhat worried. Ultimately, the fundamental 　　reason for Song Tao's downfall was the military's intervention, and the recent massacre at the Prime Minister's official residence also implicated the military. 　　"Times have changed. The situation is completely different now than it was a year ago, or even a week ago," Ananta 　　interjected. "Actually, if you go out and look around, you'll see that the military's attitude has clearly shifted. Currently, 　　the soldiers on guard and the Orange Scarf Corps are basically coexisting peacefully, and in some places, they've even held celebrations. I 　　think the military doesn't want to take the blame for Aung Pan, and they're clearly trying to clear themselves of any connection with Aung Pan's government." 　　Innan smiled and said, "Actually, it's the King's attitude that has changed. Two years ago, the King was worried that his elder brother had been on the throne 　　for too long and had too much popularity. Now, he's worried that Aung Pan's reckless behavior will destroy the country. 　　The King has changed his stance, and the military has naturally followed suit." 　　"Yes. As long as we don't deliberately point the finger at the military, they won't stand up for Aung Pan now," 　　Wensha added, seemingly unintentionally giving Innan a meaningful look. 　　After speaking, Wensha glanced around the room again and said, "Everyone, please feel free to share your thoughts. 　　If not, perhaps we should assign tasks." 　　Seeing everyone nod, Wensha and Yinnan exchanged a glance and said, "I think we should follow a two-pronged 　　approach: Tanong will be in charge of the Parliament, and Ananta will be in charge of the Orange Scarf Group. You each present your plans, and we'll discuss them and 　　implement them as soon as possible." 　　He looked at everyone and, seeing no objections, said, "Then this matter is 　　settled. Next, there's another important matter to arrange: Mr. Sawa's funeral." 　　(To be continued)
