On the evening of November 20, 2017

Qingyun City Chengzhong District, Lu Family Compound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a spacious and bright conference room, the heavyweight elders of the Lu family basically gathered together. With a dozen expressionless faces, the atmosphere in the conference room became quite serious.

However, it was only serious, there was not much pessimism in the room, people just looked at the report in their hands and smiled wryly.

Lu Xin finished reading the report in his hand, knocked on the conference table, and said after a long silence: "So, the Qian family is ready to withdraw?" Ha, it's worthy of being a businessman, and it's very decisive at the moment. What do you guys think? ”

"I think that since the general trend is irreversible, let's push the boat with the current." An elder proposed, "The Qian family is quite authentic, and they have communicated the layout and plan to us in advance, and it also means that the signed contract is still valid, and the research of the marrow washing spirit liquid will not be interrupted, so we actually have nothing to lose." ”

An elder smiled when he heard this: "Yes, the real expenses are on the Qian family's side, we will not lose a little time and energy, but we will not break our muscles and bones." ”

"It's a pity that we have too little liquidity, otherwise if the Qian family's plan can be involved, not only will there be no loss, but a lot of money. Hehe, this Qingyun Competition, although he lost the championship, he also won a lot of benefits. ”

There are also elders who sighed: "Speaking of which, this time the Li family is really destiny, and one Li Wanqing is enough, and there is actually another Wang Jiu, so that there is really no suspense in this big competition." ”

Several elders agreed, and after cautiously expressing their optimism after the loss of the championship, they began to exchange various technical details.

The Lu family's liquidity is limited, and the research of the spiritual liquid cannot be stopped, so even if they know that the Qian family's plan this time is very profitable, but the funds are insufficient, it is difficult to participate - of course, if there are too many funds, it will seriously affect the implementation of the Qian family's plan, and it is another matter. Therefore, the elders communicated and exchanged, and they all started the idea of peripheral gambling markets.

Seeing that the content of the meeting had been basically determined, Lu Xin turned his head to look at the eldest brother who was almost out of the world, and patted him on the shoulder with a wry smile.

"Big brother, what do you think?"

Lu Fang woke up like a dream and shook his head: "What's the matter?" If it doesn't matter, you can just look at it, take the minutes and sign them for me and print them out, and I'll have to retreat later. ”

Lu Xin knows that the eldest brother has a temperament, this is a real shopkeeper who is even worse than Li Fengyun, everything is directly thrown to the elder group on weekdays, he only has to sign and draw it, and the seal of the head of the family is eager to be thrown to Lu Xin for safekeeping.

In a general meeting, Lu Xin really let him be a rubber stamp as Lu Fang said, but it was a matter of Qingyun Dabi, so it was still safe to be safe, so he coughed, and hard against the impatience of the landing party, handed over the minutes of the meeting that had been sorted out, and explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"Big brother, what do you think?" As he spoke, Lu Xin had already laughed softly.

Because Lu Fang didn't look at the minutes of the meeting very carefully at all, he glanced at it twice and put it aside.

It can be seen that he didn't take Qingyun Dabi's matter to heart at all.

According to past experience, no matter how big the matter is, as long as there is not a difference of opinion among the elders attending the meeting, the eldest brother will just wave his hand and say something casual, and then impatiently sign to end the meeting.

However, this time, the situation was a little different from Lu Xin's expectations.

Lu Fang didn't speak for a long time, and the silence in the conference room remained for a long time, so long that everyone noticed the anomaly and became a little worried.

After a long time, Lu Fang frowned, stared at Lu Xin with creepy eyes, and then glanced around: "What are you guys doing!?" ”

When Lu Fang said this, many elders in the conference room were stunned, and Lu Xin was even more stunned: "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Fang sneered, "Ha, what's wrong with you asking me?" I'd like to ask you what's wrong! Look for yourself at the minutes of the meeting that you wrote, what are the key words? Expenses, losses, benefits, all that! ”

Facing the incomprehensible gazes, Lu Fang snorted and said, "Let me ask you, is the gold paint of the pillars in this conference room the blue gold of the Tiangong Academy?" ”

The elders looked at each other, and then an elder in charge of the Lu family's compound said: "Go home, the blue gold fragments of the Tiangong Courtyard are too extravagant, we have almost never used them, and now we use the imperial bronze paint." That, the overall effect is only one or two percent, but the price is only one-tenth of the blue gold crush. ”

"Oh, the tenth." Lu Fang nodded, and picked up the teacup in his hand again, "Is the tribute tea of our family meeting a fairy robe?" ”

The internal staff elder smiled bitterly: "Immortal robe...... Even in the past, it can only be used occasionally for a few elders of the family and you to drink on festive days. Recently, the family's funds have been tight, and it has been cut off for a long time. If you feel that the current batch of tea is not to your taste, we can find a way to replace it. ”

Lu Fang was noncommittal, and said: "It is said that the disciples' routine money has been deducted a lot. ”

Several of the elders present suddenly became uncomfortable: "That, there is no direct deduction of the money, but some excessive benefits are cut." ”

Lu Xin added: "Of course, it was not done so directly and rudely, but let the disciples regain the eight ancestral teachings left by the Lu family when they developed Qingyun with the Li family two thousand years ago, carry out activities to revive excellent traditional culture, and advocate everyone's hard and simple life......"

"It's a hard and simple one." Lu Fang snorted and said, "There is no blue gold fragment, no fairy robe, no various subsidies and benefits, and hard work and simplicity are advocated." In this way, I am not attending the meeting of the Qian family. ”

"Huh?"

"Since it's not the Qian family's meeting, why are the minutes of this meeting written the same as the Qian family!?" Lu Fang said, and directly threw the minutes, flying all over the sky like a goddess scattering flowers.

"It's been a long time since I've been in charge, because I think you guys are smarter than me, better at running a house than I am! I don't have anything but cultivation, so I only take care of my own affairs, and the rest is up to you. But now, when did our Lu family fall into the same trivial matter as those nouveau riche who cared about money? What is Qingyun Dabi for you, a good opportunity to make a fortune? Is it an auspicious day to rob while the fire is burning? With such dozens of pages of meeting minutes, I am calculating to take advantage of other people's money, and see what you can! ”

Lu Fang rarely came out of the retreat place, but after these words, everyone present was a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, we're just ......"

"It doesn't have to be." Lu Fang waved his hand and interrupted Qian Jing's defense, "Even if I didn't participate much in the front, I can guess what you want to say, you just want to say, since you can't win the championship, you have to retreat to the second, right?" ”

Lu Xin was stunned, and then nodded: "Yes, since the championship is hopeless, it is better to plan early......

"Why is it hopeless?!" Lu Fang interrupted sharply, "There is still more than one month before the main competition!" With a month and a half to go until the finals, how do you know that there is no hope of winning the championship? A month and a half ago, you were still discussing how to deal with Fang Chen when he met Qian Ye, and then Li Wanqing was born, and then there was Wang Jiu, so many changes have occurred in just over a month, which one of them did you judge correctly? Then how do you conclude that after a month and a half, our Lu family will still have no chance? ”

"This ......" Lu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "This kind of thing is indeed impossible to determine, but ......"

"But what? 20 years ago, when Lu Huang won the championship, who of you would have expected that the Lu family would be able to win two consecutive championships? 10 years ago, who of you would have thought that the masters of the three major families would be eliminated one by one by a loose cultivator Li Tingshu? Then, you tell me now, you have expected that the Lu family has no hope of winning the championship this time, don't you think it's ridiculous! ”

Lu Xin had no choice but to shake his head and said, "At least there is not much hope, look at it rationally, ...... it."

"There's not much hope, so it's better to get out of it rationally? Hahaha! Lu Fang said, laughing angrily, "Don't you think reason has become your excuse and fig leaf?!" ”

Lu Xin lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, let alone argue with his eldest brother.

"I know you're not convinced, I usually don't care about family affairs, and now you've worked hard to figure out a rational plan, but I've belittled you as worthless." Lu Fang said, beckoned, and the plan of the female scattered flowers that day was gathered again.

"So if you don't want to trouble, I can continue to be my hands-off shopkeeper, this summary, I can sign it now, and let you go to work with the Qian family to stop the loss. You can assume that you didn't hear what I just said. ”

After speaking, Lu Fang sighed a long sigh: "Our Lu family, since thousands of years ago, we mentioned the rise strategy of the Lu family's division in the internal meeting, and the ancestors ambitiously set many grand blueprints, starting from the division, and using hundreds or even thousands of years to develop, and finally counterattack the family and replace it." Now, a thousand years later, I don't know anyone who really believes that the blueprints of the ancestors can be realized. ”

There was silence in the meeting room.

Lu Fang said: "I believe it. ”

"I don't have any other strengths, in terms of the ability to cultivate immortals, I can't compare to the two brothers Lu Yin and Lu Huang, and I can't even compare to Lu Xin You, I'm afraid that I am only a little stronger than Xin'er. In terms of management ability, everyone here is far better than me. I can sit on the throne of the head of the family, nothing else, just because I have a good father, plus I have the undisputed strongest strength in the Lu family compound. And my strength, of course, does not rely on my terrible talent, let alone the support of the Lu family's gradually depleting wealth. ”

"As a person, there is only one thing to be proud of in my life, and that is that I am willing to believe in miracles and give everything to them. Since I broke the wind barrier, every step on the path of cultivating immortals has been a struggle against the heavens, and I don't know how many times I have stepped through the ghost gate during my retreat, in order to strive for a 1 percent, 1 in 10,000 possibility. Then, I made it all the way to the present. ”

"However, if the dream of the rise of the family is only me doing it, it will be too boring."

"I don't force you to go crazy with me, so it's your freedom to choose."
