Chapter 102: If you don't fight, you fight
Huo Lao's words clearly entered the ears of Gigi and the eldest lady of the Huo family who had not yet walked out of the room, making Gigi stunned when she heard it, but then walked out of the main hall without any stop under the leadership of Zhu Ling, leaving the space for Huo Lao, George and Huo Zhenting.
"Grandpa Huo, there are some things that you still need to fight for, what I want is not the supreme right of the Watt family, the kind of power that is huge and omnipotent in the eyes of others, it doesn't mean much to me.
If I want, I can build my own world, and there is no need for a bunch of people to compete for a chair that seems tall but is actually imprisoned. β
George's words made Huo Lao and Huo Zhenting, who was standing on the side, both have a feeling of brain circuits, especially Huo Zhenting, he looked at George like he was looking at a fool, if it was possible, he would definitely take a scalpel to open George's skull to see how it grew inside.
As one of the leading families of the California Foundation, a world-class consortium, the Watt family has sat on the throne of the patriarch, which means that his owner has mobilized countless funds and countless resources to do whatever he wants.
There is no chance for many people to compete for that position, and now George has the opportunity but wants to give up, which is an incredible thing for him who has a very strong desire for power.
"Grandpa Huo, Uncle Huo, don't look at me like this, I'm not a pretty girl, I'll be shy if you look at me like this. β
Looking at the two pairs of eyes staring straight at him, they were full of puzzlement and greetings, which made George feel a little embarrassed for a while.
He can't say that he is advancing by retreating, first weaving an incomparably huge net, and slowly smoothing out the disadvantages before he can do anything else, thinking about that position without a foundation, that's not looking for death, he hasn't lived enough, but he doesn't want to be a short-lived ghost.
"Ahem,,,,,, I'm old, I'm really old, I didn't expect it to be as good as a young man, hey,,,,,,,
Nowadays, there are really not many young people like you who know how to advance and retreat, and can clearly know what they want and what to do.
I wasn't blinded by the huge benefits, and I wasn't carried away by the chair, boy, you know better than my old man, it's really good, it's a pity,,,,,,,"
Huo Lao was the first to react, with a relieved smile in his eyes, staring at George carefully, the more he looked, the more happy he became, and finally he didn't know what he thought of but kept sighing.
Huo Zhenting looked at George's eyes at this time, but he seemed to be looking at a monster, he had been chasing the patriarchal system of power and wanted to take the Huo family in his own hands, but he didn't expect that one day he would be taught a lesson by a young man, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Grandpa Huo, what you said is serious, I am not as noble as you say, nor as good as you say, I just know that my ability is there, instead of fighting for that position, it is better to live freely,
Life is just a few decades in the world, and it is better to spend all your time pursuing illusory things, wasting your life, than living happily.
Look at my grandfather and my father, both of whom were smart people, who quit the fight early, and now they get a lot more than those who are fighting.
Giving up, giving can only be gained, this is a truth that I only figured out after thinking about it for a long time in Xiangjiang. β
There is another sentence, George put it in his heart, "If you don't fight, you fight" Many times, it seems that you don't fight, but in fact, you are already fighting, and under the noses of others, when they don't care about you, it's already done.
This sentence George also made it clear after outlining Watt Smith's roadmap in his heart, he walked a point by point, which seemed to be unrelated, but as long as someone carefully observed, he would find that Watt Smith already had a very large voice in the Watt family.
All of this was done slowly and invisibly, and others excluded the person who chose another path early and left the family.
If one day he stepped down from the position of member of Congress and turned his head to say that he wanted to be the patriarch, I believe that there will be many people who support him and can quickly and completely settle everything, of course, behind this George saw his mother.
"Hahaha,,,,,, is worthy of being Brother Qiao's grandson, if Brother Qiao hears this, he will be very happy.
In terms of dealing with power, you and Brother Qiao are really very similar, Brother Qiao also said this back then, without the slightest drag, since then he has stayed in that small courtyard like a hermit, not asking about the world.
It's really like, the same style, the same character, there is a give-and-take, this sentence is a sentence that Brother Bao often reads on his lips, and because of this sentence, Brother Bao has completed what many people can't do.
It's a pity, but how many people can really do it?"
At this moment, Huo Lao really looked at George differently, not because he was the grandson of his friend and the heir to the Watt family.
Because of George's words, he clearly knows that George's future is limitless, and he can get rid of layers of temptation at a young age, and jump out of it, see everything around him clearly, and not waver in his beliefs, which is not something that anyone can do.
After saying the last sentence, Huo Lao glanced at his eldest son sitting on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, with a complicated look in his eyes.
The eldest son is a man who is blinded by the desire for power, but he is still immersed in his own thoughts and does not know it.
It's not that Huo Lao didn't want to wake him up, and it's not that he hasn't done it, but some things are not so easy to complete, especially when a person is deeply immersed in the strange circle formed by his own thoughts, and it is very difficult to get out.
"You have been in Xiangjiang for so long, haven't you thought about going to the capital to take a walk around and see your grandparents' family?"
Huo Lao's words made the room full of embarrassment, especially Huo Dashao, he has always regarded himself as the head of the family of the next generation, and his brothers and sisters should listen to his own words, but now his father's words intentionally or unintentionally pointed the finger at his heart that had never thought about right or wrong, making him feel very hungry and embarrassed, but fortunately, Huo Lao also knew that saving face for Huo Dashao quickly changed the topic.
"As a son of man, when my mother has no way to fulfill her filial piety, I should replace her and fulfill my filial piety in front of her grandparents' knees, and fulfill the responsibilities of the younger generation.
But you also know that I am in a situation where I can't just do what I say, I have to take into account some other thingsγγγγγγ β
Saying this, George is not going on, Huo Lao also understands what George means, everyone has their own difficulties, and they are truly at ease, so it's so simple, in the end, there are still more problems to consider in many cases.
"Sir, lunch is ready, look ,,,,,,"
