After enlisting Lan Fang's support, Farris's status in the Rashid family has improved significantly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The former Farris, who was only the most inconspicuous of Ashlefer's many descendants, had no power or background, and did not hold any position in the family.
If there is no accident, even if the Rashid family does not fall, after a hundred years of Ashlefer, the best outcome for Faris may be to become an idle prince and live like this for the rest of his life.
Such a reality can make anyone with ambitions despair.
Faris is not yet thirty years old, but he can already predict the trajectory of his life, and he is still the most gloomy kind, which cannot but make people despair.
There is a correct explanation of the word "crisis", that is, there is an opportunity lurking in danger, and this opportunity is often reserved for those who are prepared.
The Rashid family is indeed facing a crisis now, and Faris is the one who seized the opportunity.
After returning to Mecca to report the details of the agreement signed with Lan Fang, Faris took on the role of director of the Rashid family's external liaison office, and the adjustment of this position made people see a lot of different things.
The External Liaison Office was originally a department that existed in name only, and the Rashid family had cut off all foreign aid in the past 20 years of fighting with the Aziz family, so this so-called "external liaison" was simply a no-brainer. After signing the agreement with Lan Fang, it is obvious that the power of this department will increase, and it will even become hot, and at this time, the appointment of Faris as the director of the External Liaison Office, Ashlefer's attitude is a bit playful.
You must know that the former director of the External Liaison Office is none other than Farris's eldest brother, Mel Zug.
Although Mel Zug was not satisfied with Ashlev's arrangement, he was also helpless.
The Rashid family's external relations made no progress when Mer Zug was in charge of the work of the External Liaison Office, and it was precisely because of Faris's efforts and persistence that Lan Fang's support was available, and Mel Zug had to keep it in his heart even if he was dissatisfied, and once he was criticized for showing it, then Mel Zug would lose more than just a position as a section chief.
Although the External Liaison Office is a non-existent department, there are still some tasks to be handed over. On the evening of the handover, Merzug invited the emir to drink at his home.
Yes, drinking.
Although Persian doctrine explicitly forbids the consumption of alcohol, for the Persians, when basic livelihood is not guaranteed, the prohibition prescribed by the doctrine is not so "forbidden". Only then do you know etiquette, and now Saudi Arabia is poor and white, and there are really few people who strictly abide by the doctrine. Of course, drinking can't be done in public, as long as it's not discovered, it doesn't matter.
Ordinary Persians can't get wine, but although the Rashid family is a bit down now, their ancestors were once broad, so it is not difficult for Merzoug to get wine. Melzug and Emir don't usually drink too much, just drink two glasses to mean that, if you drink too much and get a little drunk or something, then you can't cover it.
However, today's situation is obviously different, Melzug's mood is not very good, he drinks without moderation, glass after glass, and does not speak, just silently drinks and sullen wine.
Such a Mairzug was something that the emir had never seen before.
After all, it is a brother, and when Merzug opened the second bottle, Emir was resolute: "Big brother, you can't drink anymore." ”
"It's okay, I'm not drunk, let me drink some more." Myrzug wasn't going to shut up.
"Big brother, you can't drink anymore, isn't it Faris? You don't have to worry, I'll go kill him in a moment. Emile understood the fear in Merzug's heart.
It must be said that although Melzug did not treat Faris very affectionately in the past, it was by no means to the point of being in the same situation, that is, the relationship between brothers of the ordinary big family. If Faris is the patriarch of the Rashid family in the future, then it may be no different for the other brothers, but for Merzug, the meaning is definitely different, even if Merzug accepts it calmly, Faris will not necessarily let Melzug go.
After all, Melzug is Farris's eldest brother, and Faris's existence is a natural threat to Faris.
Since it is a hidden danger, then it must be eradicated!
At least that's what Myrzug thought.
"No, you can't kill him." Melzug disagrees.
"Why?" The character of the emir is to be straightforward, without many twists and turns, otherwise he would not have such a good relationship with Mel Zug.
"You, with your character, sooner or later you will suffer in the future." Mel Zug looked at Emir with a complicated expression.
"Hehe, isn't there still you." The emir is not worried.
"We can't do anything now, the more we do, the more we make mistakes, we have fallen behind in the matter of winning Lan Fang's support, if we do something wrong at this time, then everything will be irreparable, and if we don't make mistakes in the future, then no matter how good Faris does, he will not be able to get the position of patriarch." Melzug was not stupid at all, and the smile on his face was a little cold.
I have to say that Ashlefer is still very effective in taking Mel Zug with him, maybe Mel Zug is not pioneering enough, but "keeping" is still no problem.
"Then we'll watch that Faris kid go arrogant?" The emir was a little unwilling.
This is "envy, jealousy and hatred", if Faris is still the mediocre Faris, then the emir will still be a brother and sister, and now Fariss has begun to shine, which really makes Emir unwilling.
"What is this - Emir, you have to understand a truth, Faris is actually right, our Rashid family must exist first, and then other things will make sense, so our biggest enemy now is the Aziz family, everything else can be put on hold for the time being, and after defeating the Aziz family, it is time for us to clean up the portal." Myrzug is quite sane.
"I'm afraid that by then—" The Emir's fears were justified.
"What's that—Faris can enlist the support of the Lanfangs, and so will we. The people of Lanfang are indeed greedy, their attachment to the land has penetrated into the bone marrow, Faris can use a Persian Gulf to get Lanfang's support, so do we, so don't care about the temporary gains and losses of my brother, we have to take a long-term view. "Myrzug has a plan, and it's not as competitive as he appears to be in front of Ashlefer.
"Ha, that's right, the greedy Lanfang people are better than the stupid French." This time, the emir agreed with Merzug.
Before receiving Lan Fang's support, Merzoug had personally begged the French, still with the Emile, but the French did not pay attention to Merzug, and Merzug was not even given the opportunity to meet the French governor in the Middle East. Merzug could still see it, but Emir had always been obsessed.
"Come on, let's have a drink, you just have to remember one thing my brother, it should be yours, it will always be, not yours, never!" Merzug opened the second bottle and poured it full for Emir.
What Mel Zug said seems to be very philosophical, but in fact it is very problematic, there is actually nothing predestined in this world, and the words "should" or "should not" are very mysterious in themselves.
If, according to Merzug, then the son of a peasant can only be a peasant, the son of a merchant can only be a merchant, and the son of a king can only be a king.
The peasants and the merchants are all right, but there must be more than one son of the king, and there is only one king, so there is a contradiction between "should" or "ought".
If someone gets what they want after some hard work, then those who don't work hard can say that the harvest after hard work is destined, so those who don't work hard have a reason to continue to get by.
And if someone doesn't get what they want after all their efforts, can it be said that person has gained nothing?
No, at least the experience of failure has increased, which increases the possibility of success in the next effort, and if you continue to accumulate like this, then you will definitely be able to succeed in the future.
Merzug will definitely not explain this truth to Emir, Merzug only wants Emir to be his little brother and do something inconvenient for Maierzug to do at a critical time, so Merzug's words are always plausible.
The words spoken by Mel Zug and Emir were quickly put into writing before Ashlefer.
"Do you want me to give him a warning?" Ashlev's younger brother, Nabil, who is also the number two in the Rashid family, is a little angry.
The Rashid family has reached a life-and-death situation, but the next generation of heirs is still intriguing with each other, which is really unacceptable to Nabil.
"No, let them fight - the Rashid family does not need a mediocre helmsman, the future helmsman must have the ability to lead the Rashid family forward, this is also a test for them, only the winner can enjoy the most beautiful meal." Ashlefer was not prepared to interfere in the open and covert rivalry between the Melzug brothers.
"That should also be after we defeated the Aziz family." Nabil is focused on the big picture.
"That's for sure, so Merzug didn't disappoint me too much." Ashlefer's face is not very good-looking, if Myrzug wants to deal with Faris just now, then Ashlefer will let Myrzug serve the ancestors now.
"We can create the best conditions for them to do their best, and in the process, they will naturally understand what they should be doing." Ashlefer is the real cunning man.
