Clan matters? What do you mean, what is the matter with you coming to my house? Fang Chao didn't have a good impression of these three people, and he didn't speak very politely.

Fang Ji sneered back at him, and then said: "Senior, give me a final answer tonight, I will always wait, but it is better not to affect my rest too late." ”

These people in the clan have always been so arrogant and domineering, Fang Chao has seen it again and again, but every time he sees them arrogant in front of him, it will make Fang Chao feel uncomfortable, as if someone has stabbed a needle into his flesh, and it hurts but he can't shout.

The three of them left, and Fang Chao looked at his father, who beckoned to him and said, "Come here, let's have a chat." ”

In the study, as soon as Fang Chao sat down, he asked, "Dad, what's going on, what is the clan sending these three guys for?" ”

"Don't get excited, sit down and listen to me slowly." Fang Chao's father waved his hand and motioned for Fang Chao to sit down.

After the father and son sat down, his father spoke: "You and I are both surnamed, we are both surnamed Fang, we are both children of the same clan, do you remember what you said and swore when you participated in the coming-of-age ceremony held by the clan when you were eighteen years old?" ”

Where do you still remember, at that time, they all followed others and read behind them, and they didn't know anything in a daze, but they probably remembered that they swore allegiance to the clan and obeyed the words of the clan.

"I don't remember, it's just a slogan anyway, I've read it and pulled it down." Fang Chao said.

His father lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and said, "All the people of my Fang clan must first put the interests of the clan first, obey the orders of the clan chief, do not do anything unfavorable to the clan, do not do anything unfavorable to the clan, and if you are a member of the Fang clan for the rest of your life, you must not forget this oath." ”

Seeing the serious expression on his father's face, he realized that something didn't seem right, although in the past, his father would also have headaches because of things within the clan, but he had never shown such a deep and solemn expression as today.

"Dad, what's going on?" Fang Chao asked.

"I just came here with the other two inner disciples in the clan, they are now middle-level cadres within the clan, and they just brought an order from the upper echelons of the clan, it is for me, it is also for you, or for our entire family." Fang Chao's father took another puff of cigarette when he said this, and after being silent for a while, he continued, "The Lang clan has nearly 30 million business to do with our Fang clan this year, and it is asked for by the top of our Fang clan, if our clan offends the Lang clan, not only will the 30 million order be in vain, but it will be impossible to do any business of the Lang clan in the future, and the Lang clan has a very wide circle of contacts, and after offending them, the business of many other clans and organizations will not be handed over to our Fang clan. To put it mildly, the loss may reach hundreds of millions, and in the preliminary round of this team battle, you eliminated the Lang Clan's Lang Badger Son, and the Lang Clan has already found out your identity and began to put pressure on the upper echelons of our clan. ”

"Pressure? What do they want to do? Fang Chao asked.

"They want you to get your team eliminated in the next round, and they don't care what to do, they just look at the result." Fang Chao's father told the truth.

The foreshadowing of the previous words was nothing more than the old father looking for an opportunity for himself to tell the truth, and now that he has finally said it, this simple sentence has an unimaginable meaning, he represents the desire to let his son give up his dreams, give up friendship, give up dignity, and then continue to mingle in this clan that will never come out.

"Dad...... So how do you answer? Fang Chao asked calmly.

"I didn't answer, because I won't make up my mind for you, but I must tell you about it, and tell you what happens if you say yes or don't." Fang Chao's father was still serious.

"Okay, then you say, what will happen if I don't agree to the clan's request and don't frame my friend." Fang Chao asked.

Fang Chao's father flicked the cigarette ash, organized the wording and said: "If you agree to the clan's request, you and I can continue to live in the clan, and the benefits that the clan gives us every year and my work can also be guaranteed, our family will definitely not have any problems financially, and you don't have to worry about running out of money when you marry a daughter-in-law and have children in the future, but the price is that you may be able to get ahead in this competition, and this opportunity will be completely lost, The two friends you have just made less than a year ago will definitely not associate with you again, and there will even be many people in the rivers and lakes pointing fingers behind your back, poking your backbone and saying that you are not a good person if you don't pay attention to righteousness, this is the price you promised the clan to ask, you and me and your children's lives can be guaranteed, and the clan will also promote you after this matter, and may even promote you to the inner disciple, to the branch in the field as a supervisor, your child will also become an inner disciple in the future, Our family will become an important member of the Fang clan from now on. ”

Don't look at the Fang clan is just a small clan in the circle, but the assets controlled by such a small clan are still as high as billions, and several high-level leaders are all rich people worth hundreds of millions, even if Fang Chao is just the director of a foreign branch, the annual salary can reach more than seven figures, plus the welfare subsidy of the inner disciples, it is not a problem to easily relax three or four million when he is young, the most important thing is that his children will be born as inner disciples in the future, and they will enjoy completely different treatment from when he was a child. Maybe when his children grow up, no one in the Fang clan will look down on them anymore, and they will completely turn over.

"And what if I don't say yes?" Fang Chao asked.

"Then you and I will be expelled from the clan, I will lose my job, our family's economy is likely to be temporarily paralyzed, I am relatively useless, my strength is not good, I don't have any good connections, I don't have any powerful friends in the circle, and it is difficult to find a good job at this age, maybe this family will depend on you in the future, in addition, if you refuse to agree to the clan's request, it will be tantamount to rejecting the Lang clan and the big clans around the Lang clan, those big clans will ruthlessly suppress you and Tang Yao, The size of the Hall of Dead Bones is insignificant in front of these big clans, and it is not an exaggeration to say that if you refuse the request of the clan this time, our family and a few of you children may not be able to mix in this circle in the future, at least not on the side of the 'Divine Mansion'. ”

The reality is so bloody, unlike Cinderella's fairy tale, where there will be fairy godmothers who come out to save the world, in the real world, you can only bow your head in front of the big people who are more powerful than you, and there is no way at all.

Fang Chao is a small person, although he seems to be happier than Tang Yao, at least he has parents who love him, has a childhood with no worries about food and clothing, and has a clan that supports him, but he also has his own helplessness.

Since I was a child, I watched my father take the blame for those inner disciples who obviously had no talent, and was reprimanded again and again by the elders in the clan for no reason, and served as a small servant serving tea and water for decades, and supported the family with a meager income.

When he was a child, he did the same thing as his father, studying in a private school run by the clan, and the outer disciples like him had to wait at the door of the class every morning until all the inner disciples had entered the class and sat down.

The teacher never blames the inner disciples, only scolds them for these outer disciples, and even Fang Chao has encountered more than one time when the exam is almost over, his test paper was snatched by the inner disciple as his own test paper, those who don't learn and have no skills but are born superior will also use various excuses to find their own trouble, in the summer he has to run errands for the inner disciples to buy ice water, and in the winter he has to buy breakfast for them, and so on Fang Chao doesn't know how many times he has done.

All men are meant to be created equal, but in the world of illusionists, this sentence is a joke.

And now, when he finally has friends of his own, and his career is just beginning to take off, the monster called the clan jumps out again, ready to strip him of everything he has.
