Chapter 132: Family Secrets (Part II)
Regarding Wei Qinghao's admonition, although Xiao Junling was a little curious in his heart, he also understood that he was motivated by good intentions, since even Qin Weiyang and the others had no way of knowing the truth of the matter, why should he bother with such idleness?
Speaking of which, although he was also considered an upper-level in his previous life, because he went out on missions all the year round, he was mostly in the midst of intense cultivation and improving his strength when he was idle, and he was really unfamiliar with this social circle in the imperial capital. If the common sense in many circles is not reminded by the Zhou Meng sisters, they would not know anything.
Of course, in the eyes of the people around him, this is very normal, how can a young man who has just come from the Northwest Frontier know many things about the upper class society of the imperial capital? So this saved him and didn't let some people with ulterior motives discover his secret.
The family ranking of the imperial capital is not static, especially the families in the third group sequence, there are new members joining almost every year, and there are old members who are forced to fall out of this circle for one reason or another.
The list of members of the second group is relatively fixed, and there will be a change every three to five years; As for the first group, I haven't heard of a change in the rankings in the last 50 years.
I just don't know how long Wei Zhenhua, the great consul, can work, if he is there, the Wei family should also have the potential to become a big family, of course, this is not a one-day effort.
The members of the third group aside, there are quite a few nouveau riche inside! But those who can squeeze into the second group are all able to occupy a place in this circle after several generations of hard work and the accumulation of sufficient wealth, resources, strength, and corresponding networks.
There are only a handful of examples of people who have risen from scratch and made it to the second group in a single generation in the last two hundred years.
Not to mention the first group, if you want to enter this circle, it is impossible to operate without hundreds of years of hard work and painstaking management! Just the fact that there must be a peak powerhouse at the level of the Silent Star God of War in the family can stump the vast majority of the families that belong to the second group, not to mention the number of wealth, the size of the territory, the power resources, the prestige and many other hard indicators in other fields.
There are many ancient families in the second group who have carefully prepared for several generations, trying to push the family's ranking to the ranks of the first group, but they have to fall short because of the right time, place and people and many other reasons!
The change in the ranking of wealthy families is not only the most intuitive embodiment of the comprehensive strength of the family, but also involves the allocation of many rare resources, so it will make those family owners rush to climb up.
After three rounds of drinking, seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming harmonious, An Yulong glanced at Zhao Ziyan, who understood and took the opportunity to pour wine for him, and said softly:
"Brother Junling, we now want to take this opportunity to sign a long-term cooperation agreement with you, I don't know what you think?"
"Oh? What is the specifics? He asked curiously.
She smiled lightly: "The content is actually not complicated, that is, in the future, if our family encounters some troubles in the battle to open up the Savage Star Domain, it will only be solved by the peak powerhouse, can I ask you to help?" Of course, you can rest assured, we will give you the corresponding remuneration according to the specific situation, and we will not let you work in vain! ”
Xiao Junling touched his head and asked, "Your family has a strong person at the level of the Silent Star God of War, and there are many other high-end forces, if even they can't solve the problem, then it must be a powerhouse of a higher realm to be able to do it!" ”
"But my current strength is really not worth mentioning, although it is said that I have amazing potential, and I may grow into a super strong person in the future, but it is only a possibility, whether it will become a reality one day, no one can say! Are you sure you still have to put your hopes in me? ”
Wei Qinghao said with a smile: "Since it is a long-term cooperation agreement, of course, it will not start to perform until you have enough strength, before that, although you can cultivate and improve with peace of mind, if there is anything that needs our help, you may as well bring it up, and we will also help you!" ”
"In short, when you really grow up, there will definitely be a lot of power to ask you for help, and I hope that by that time, our family will have a certain priority, how about it?"
Xiao Junling asked meaningfully, "Is it you, or your family?" ”
The smile on Qin Weiyang's face couldn't help but froze, and he quickly exchanged glances with the others, and then said with a dry smile: "Of course, it is our personal request, but if the situation allows, it also includes our family!" May I? ”
Wei Qinghao said slowly: "A few of us are all people who have some foundation in the Savage Star Domain, but because the time is still short, our strength is not very strong, so we usually encounter some small troubles!" In such a situation, it is very important to find a strong foreign support! ”
"Of course, we can also ask the family for help, but this will also pay a lot of money, and it will also lower the evaluation of us by the family leaders, so we are not willing to take this path until the last resort......"
In today's era, opening up the Savage Star Domain, discovering and conquering more territories, and plundering high-quality resources are inevitable behaviors for almost all wealthy families, and many families often regard it as one of the indispensable programs when cultivating and honing the younger generation's children.
Different from the young masters and ladies in the imperial capital, who are pampered and well-dressed, these people here are all talented elites who have been trained by the family. All of them have been fighting in the Savage Star Domain for several years, and have their own private fleets and ability weapons, each of which has conquered a varying number of overseas territories.
Every year, the family hierarchy evaluates their achievements and rewards and supports them according to their progress.
If nothing else, the future leadership of the family will inevitably be handed over to these elite children!
Therefore, Qin Weiyang and the others will have the idea of making friends sincerely after seeing Xiao Junling's development potential, after all, it is a cost-effective thing to be able to have a good relationship with a future Silent Star God of War.
"Alright! I accepted it! Xiao Junling finally nodded and approved of their proposal.
Speaking of which, if they need allies, why don't they themselves? This is originally a kind of mutually beneficial cooperation, and it is not a matter of who takes advantage and who suffers.
Seeing that he didn't refuse, several people were obviously very happy and toasted him one after another.
Zhao Ziyan's beautiful eyes turned, and she said softly: "Then, my sister happens to have something to ask you for help with now!" You're not going to say no, are you? ”
"Tell me about it?"
"That's right," An Yu said,
"Two months ago, when we were encircling and suppressing the local natives in the Savage Star Domain, because there were a few tricky guys in the other party's clan, we had to jointly invite a hermit elder from the Atharlet family to help......"
Needless to say, the danger of the Savage Star Domain, although the strong man of the Zhao family was not the God of War of the Silent Star, he was already at the level of the peak of the Star Realm, so his combat power was also extremely strong.
However, due to the enemy's geographical advantage and the fact that his strength was not weak, after a fierce battle, although he won a decisive victory as he wished, the strong man was seriously injured, and there was no hope of recovery in the short term.
According to the estimation of the wise man in the family, the various resources needed to fully recover this elder are worth as many as 90 million energy points, and there is a probability of failure.
Once the treatment fails, it means that the cultivation is declining, or even downgraded.
“…… According to the prior agreement, the cost of this treatment will naturally be borne by us! An Yulong explained with a wry smile,
"The problem is that the losses in this battle are too great, excluding all kinds of cost consumption, the surplus is already very limited, and if we add this expense, then we will lose a lot! Not to mention, it may not be successful, and if that elder can't heal, we'll lose even more! ”
Xiao Junling understood what he meant, if the Elder Yin Xiu really caused his strength to decline because of this matter, it would mean that the family's high-end combat power would be damaged! They naturally have to bear the corresponding responsibilities, and maybe the evaluation in the hearts of the family leaders will drop because of this.
Therefore, after learning about Xiao Junling's ability, they would temporarily try to ask him to take action once to see if they could solve the matter perfectly at a lower cost.
"How?" Zhao Ziyan looked at him pitifully and said,
"If you don't want to help, I'm afraid my sister and I will have to sell myself to pay off this debt! You can't bear to watch people fall into the dust, do you? ”
Sweat! This girl really dares to say anything!
“…… Belch! Okay," Xiao Junling said a little embarrassedly, "I promise you, the time is set for tomorrow, and you will pick me up then!" ”
"Great!" Zhao Ziyan hugged him excitedly and shook him a few times, and the plump upper circumference rubbed around him intentionally or unintentionally, making him more and more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the time has been out for a long time, he found a reason to get up and say goodbye to Zhou Meng's sisters, and several people got up and sent him out of the private room.
After going out, I felt some discomfort in my stomach, so I asked the waiter for the direction of the bathroom, and walked over.
It's just that after he came out of the house, he found that the door of the bathroom had been blocked by several big men with meaty faces and fierce eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at this situation, how could Xiao Junling not understand what was going on? asked silently, while secretly lucky, several abilities were already in a state of preparation.
One of the guys at the head smiled and said: "This little brother, seeing that you have drunk too much, a few of us have come to give you a 'loose bone', rest assured, this is a special service at the cocktail party, free of charge!" Hey hey ......"
"You dare to provoke trouble in this place, your courage is really not small!" Xiao Junling said lightly,
"May I ask who sent your dog?"
This question was indeed a little unkind, the guy couldn't help blushing, and said viciously: "Stinky, miscellaneous, species, dare to be hard when you die, today Lao Tzu doesn't beat your eggs out, Lao Tzu will have your surname!" ”
With a wave of his hand, several guys spread out with a tacit understanding, outflanking them left and right.
