How to Get Rich: BREATHE

Chapter 164 Meeting with the Successor (1)

Hermawan hid the frustration in him. He was pretty upset all day. He could not find Rosalinda. In fact, when he tried to contact her, the woman did not pick up the phone from him.

Then Hermawan tried to send a picture of the two of them, which he took that night, to Rosalinda. However, photos and videos of the incident that night just disappeared from his cellphone. Not even the copy he made on his laptop existed.

This also adds to Hermawan's frustration. He could not threaten Rosalinda if all the photos and videos were lost. When Hermawan asked for a copy of another photo and video, from Karina, the woman did not give it. He said all copies of the photos and videos he had saved were also lost.

This means, there is someone who does know the existence of the photo and video. That person must have something to do with Rosalinda's disappearance. Hermawan is getting upset knowing this.

There was a man who dared to take something from his hands. During his lifetime, Hermawan was never treated like this. Hermawan is very quiet, because something that is already in his hands can be taken by others, without him knowing.

When Hermawan wanted to vent all his accumulated annoyance in this one day, Arman called out to him. His father asked Hermawan to come home. He'll take Hermawan to meet someone important to their family.

All that made Hermawan put on a sour face on the way to meet someone who his father said was important. How important was that man to make his father like this? Not only his father, but Bayu, his grandfather, also went to see the man.

“Actually who are we going to meet? Dad and Grandpa aren't enough to meet that guy, are they? Why are you guys also taking me to meet this guy?”

If indeed the person they meet is indeed an important person, they do not need to invite Hermawan, right? My grandfather and father were enough. If indeed they want to introduce Hermawan to that person, at least Grandpa or his Father must tell him in advance, right?

To introduce Hermawan to what seems important enough, at least Grandpa and his father need to provide information about the person to Hermawan, right? Not suddenly like this.

“We want to introduce you to someone, he's a very important person. After all, you will be the leader of the Sanjoyo family. So you need to know this guy. This person has a great influence on the future of our family.”

“Our family is progressing or even decreasing, it all depends on this person. So, later when you meet that person, take good care of your attitude. Don't offend that guy.” Arman.

Hermawan slightly frowned hearing that. Why does the future of his family depend on this man? Who was he until his father could say that? Is that the President? But that's also impossible.

Although his family began to enter the world of politics, but their greatest strength is in the business world. So, it is unlikely that their future depends on the President. The president of this country does not exert such influence on their family-owned businesses.

“If you really want to introduce me to someone, then you need to tell me the background of that person, right? In this way, I can tell what kind of person I will now meet. Not only that, I will be able to keep my attitude from offending this person.”

“You also need to tell me why this person can have such a big influence on our family. Even you to say that the back and forth of our family depends on this man.”

“Our family used to be just a farming family. Our ancestors were very poor and often held back hunger for not having food. Then, one of our ancestors met a great man. Our ancestors became the men of this man.”

“Our ancestors were given the responsibility to take care of the person's business. For some reason since following that person, our ancestors could easily understand how to do business. That person's business managed by our ancestors advanced by leaps and bounds.”

“In the end, that person gave the business to our ancestors. So, our business right now, is a gift from that person. Our ancestors told us that if that person appears again, we should follow that person.”

“Because that person can take our family even further. Our ancestors also advised us not to oppose that person. If we oppose him or even become hostile to him, then our family can be destroyed.” Bayu to his grandson.

“Therefore, this meeting is very important. I don't want you to mess up and offend that guy. You really have to keep your attitude. You will be quiet during the meeting. If not asked, never open your mouth.” Arman reminded Hermawan.

Hearing that Hermawan frowned. His grandfather's story sounded quite strange in his ears.

If that person lived in the days of his ancestors, then his lifespan might have been over a hundred years. Is that person still alive today? Hermawan thinks the man is dead.

So who are they going to meet now? The bone pile from that guy? Or the spirit of that man? Clearly, Hermawan's mind is difficult to accept what was said by his grandfather.

“How could that person live until now Grandpa? Is he a powerful person who can live long?” Ask Hermawan to his Grandfather.

“Of course not. The person our ancestors met was most likely dead. Now all we're meeting is his descendants. Where might we meet the same people as our ancestors met.”

“The person we met has the title of Successor. Because he continues what his ancestors did. Whoever follows the Successor will surely succeed. For the Successor, money doesn't mean much. He can easily open a new business even though it does not provide big profits.”

“Do you know why the position of the four big families is unshakable? Why has there been no other family to replace us?” Ask Bayu to Hermawan.

“Eh…. I don't know. Maybe because the treasure we have is so much that the other family can not pursue us.” Answer the original Hermawan.

Bayu shook his head slowly. “Wrong. That was because the ancestors of the four great families were the fruit of the Successor. That's why we can get here.”

“Although the four great families are not very harmonious and a lot of competition, but if there are other families trying to outperform the four great families, we will unite and get rid of that person.”

“Therefore a hundred years more our family holds the position of one of the four big families in Surabaya. Tonight, not only will we meet the Successor. But also a member of the Sasongko.” family Obviously Bayu.

So that's the reason. Hermawan thought it was all because his family had considerable power. It makes the degree between his family and other families very far. It turns out that all four large families are the fruit of the successor.

“Why is Sasongko family with Grandpa? What about the Wijoyokusumo and Jayantaka families? Will they come too?”

“Of course not. I and the Old Man from the Sasongko family agreed not to tell about the emergence of the Successor to those from the Wijoyokusumo and Jayantaka families. This is an opportunity for our family to be the leaders of the four great families.”

“So why tell them? If we tell them, we will never be able to surpass the Jayantaka family.”

Bayu remembered what his father used to say. The Wijoyokusumo family once served two generations of the Successor. While the Jayantaka family has served three generations of the Successor.

That means, the two families met the Successor earlier than their families. So, they are far superior among the four big families in Surabaya. The ancestors of the Sanjoyo family were just like the Sasongko family. They had only ever met a Successor.

In fact, the one who met the Successor in this gerner, for the first time was Darsono of the Sasongko family. Darsono met the Successor one year ago. He told that to Bayu.

Darsono wants these two families to work together and utilize the presence of the Successor to strengthen their families and change the rank of the four great families. So, they agreed not to tell the appearance of the Successor to the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family.

Although now they have not felt the change they received by serving the Successor, but Bayu did not give up. He was sure that his ancestors would not lie to his descendants with something as important as this.

All Bayu has to do is be patient. If the time comes, surely the Sanjoyo family can surpass the Wijoyokusumo family and the Jayantaka family. Bayu sure, it won't be long.
