"Ten years of sacrifice?" I slowly frowned: "What is the Ten Year Festival for?" ”

The man on the other end of the phone said: "It's our family's ancestor worship once every ten years, you hurry up and come back, I have something to discuss with you." ”

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"I've been in Xitang for so long, I accidentally forgot about it, anyway, you come back quickly, and we'll talk about it when we meet."

"Can't you say it on the phone...... Feed? ”

At this time, Yan Yanan had already hung up the phone, and I listened to the busy sound from the mobile phone, and I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.

Boss Lu probably heard the conversation between me and Yan Yanan, and asked me with some concern, "You want to leave?" ”

I nodded helplessly: "The store is in a bit of a hurry, I'll come to you for a drink another day." ”

Boss Lu still held my hand: "What's so anxious, can't you leave after eating?" ”

"I'm afraid not." I said this first, and then turned to Liu Xiaohui and said, "You stay, the boss lady may have something to explain." ”

After saying that, I broke away from Boss Lu, quickly went to the backyard to find the proprietress and left my mobile phone number to her.

Boss Lu was very unhappy with my sudden departure, and when I came out of the backyard, he didn't bother to take care of me.

But there is no way to do it, who made Yan Yanan rush so urgently, and I can hear that she does have a reason to call me back.

Leaving the furniture city, I took a taxi and went straight to the old alley.

Boss Jiang and Boss Yu have been waiting for me at the entrance of the alley for a long time, and Boss Wen is also there, but everyone else looks nervous, just he looks down at his mobile phone with his head down, with a leisurely expression.

After I got out of the car, Boss Jiang quickly rushed over: "You may want to use this ancestor worship to attack you." ”

I scratched at the root of my ear with some irritation: "What the hell is going on?" I didn't make it clear when I called me just now. ”

"Let's let Yan Yanan tell you, I don't know much about the specific situation. Lao Yu, Lao Wen, come with you...... Old Wen, what are you doing? ”

Boss Jiang pushed me towards the alley while talking, but when her eyes fell on Boss Wen, she stopped halfway.

Boss Wen slowly put the phone into his pocket, and then answered: "What." ”

Boss Jiang frowned and beckoned to him again: "Follow me." ”

Surrounded by Boss Jiang and the three of them, I quickly returned to the thrift store, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Yanan sitting on the sofa facing the door, she clasped her hands, frowned, and stared at the coffee table.

When Boss Yu and Boss Wen, who were walking behind me, entered the door, Yan Yanan raised his head and looked at us.

I sat opposite Yan Yanan: "Isn't it just to sacrifice an ancestor, why are you guys fighting in such a big battle, it seems that the sky is about to fall." ”

Yu Yanan took a long breath and said to me: "Uncle doesn't know what he thinks, he actually asked Yu Ru to preside over this festival, and it has been determined that this festival will invite people from all major sects to come." ”

I couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it the old family worshipping ancestors, what are people from other sects doing?" But it's good that they can come, and we can also clear the inventory in the warehouse by the way. ”

Hearing my words, Yan Yanan rolled his eyes: "Why is your guy so big-hearted, listen well, if you can invite people from the major sects to come, you must ask them to come to witness the competition at the festival." ”

"Do you have to compete with your ancestors?" I scratched my temples and said, "I can't figure it out, why do you have to engage in these things?" ”

Boss Jiang explained to me: "The ancestor worship of the family is not only to pay tribute to the ancestor Tianling, but also to take the opportunity of the clan to gather to select the candidates for the next generation from the young Zhuang generation. ”

Yan Yanan continued: "Yu Ru has never liked to play cards according to routines, and he must have bad intentions when he called people from the major sects this time. It's only been more than a year since you returned to the family, and although you have the inheritance of the bonebreaker, after all, you are not good at learning, and there are many people who can defeat you. I'm afraid that if you are going to arrange some powerful opponents for you in the competition, if you lose, the consequences will be quite serious. ”

I said, "What happens if you lose?" ”

Yan Yanan: "If there are no people from the major sects present, whether they win or lose, only the people within the family know, but there are so many eyes staring, and the victory or loss of the heirs of the bone destroyer hand is related to the face of the family." If you do get defeated, you won't be able to take over the thrift store business for ten years, and you won't want to be a candidate for the tie-up store for ten years. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "You mean, if I lose, I can only wait until ten years later, when I win the competition at the next ancestor worship, before I can turn over?" ”

Yan Yanan sighed: "Theoretically, this is the case, but the second master is eighty years old this year, and no one knows if he can live for another ten years." If the second master dies before the next ancestor worship, with his temperament, he will still pass on the position of Dingmen to you, but if you become Dingmen in that way, the name is not right, and then you only have the name of Dingmen, but you will never have the opportunity to become a real power faction like the second master. ”

I lay on the back of the sofa and smiled at Yan Yanan: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I didn't plan to be like the second master." ”

Yan Yanan stared into my eyes and said in an extraordinarily serious tone, "You must be like the second master." After the uncle dies, the head of the family is likely to be like this. Once he sits in the position of the head of the family, someone must be able to check and balance him, otherwise the family will be in chaos, and now the only one who can compete with the family is your winter character. ”

I said: "I heard the second master say, doesn't each of the four veins of the family have two fixed gates, even if I can't check and balance them in the future, there are also deputy fixed doors, what are you afraid of?" ”

Yan Yanan: "After all, there is still a difference between the deputy and the fixed door, and you expect a deputy to balance the head of the family, which is simply a fantasy!" No matter what, you must become the fixed gate of the winter word vein, and a fixed gate with real power. ”

To be honest, I've never been interested in family infighting, and I'm even more disgusted when I hear Yan Yanan say so much.

A good family, why do you have to be like this, besides, the second master also said that although this person has great desires and likes to intrigue with others, he also has a bottom line and never does anything that hurts the interests of the family.

I don't know what's so bad about such a person being the head of the family, why do I need to check and balance him.

Boss Jiang seemed to see the helplessness in my heart, and said to me on the side: "A big family like the Yu family needs a person who responds to every call to control, but this person can have means and prestige, but he can't have absolute power. ”

I nodded: "Absolute power can easily lead to absolute decay, I understand this truth. ”

Boss Wen, who has never had a deep relationship with me, also said on the side: "A family like the Yan family, the clan relatives are connected by blood, if the head of the family gathers all the power in one, it is easy to become the emperor of the soil. If the selection system were to be overturned, it would be replaced by a caste system similar to that of Hinduism. ”

I said, "Aren't they all one family, how do you divide into castes?" ”

Boss Wen said: "The family is also divided into lineage and collateral lineage, just like the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's son is Elder Brother, and the prince's son is Baylor." There are different names, and there are big differences in status. Although he didn't say it, he has always made a clear distinction between his relatives and his relatives, and those who are close to him are all relatives in his opinion, and those who are far away from him. This kid has double standards when dealing with his relatives and relatives. ”

Boss Yu said: "If it weren't for the fact that he is also the grandson of Yu Heng, he is a real cousin." ”

Boss Wen: "The battle between Yu Ru and Yu Ruofei is a bit similar to the battle between the princes and sons in the ancient dynasties. If it weren't for the return to the house, no one would have been able to threaten the family, but if it hadn't been for the return, he would have become the heir of the bonebreaker, and then he would have taken over the thrift store. The key is that only Yu Heng is protecting him at home, but if he is not behind him, in addition to Yu Heng, there is also a second master. In fact, the most unacceptable thing is that there are people in the family who are more favored than him. And it is precisely because of this favor from the second master and Yu Heng that Ruo Fei has become his biggest opponent in the Yu family. ”

He actually said that the second master doted on me, not to mention the word "pampering" itself made me uncomfortable, just talking about the attitude of the second master when he treated me...... He can't wait to toss me to death sooner, where can I see the slightest pampering?

At this time, Boss Yu said to Boss Wen again: "Then according to your meaning, you still want to make a separation of powers in the family?" Everyone checks and balances each other, don't do anything, fight every day. ”

Boss Yu's tone was not very polite, but Boss Wen was not angry, but just said to him: "How many people in the industry are staring at the fat of the family now, if there is really any separation of powers, it is difficult to reach a unity within the family no matter what, then it is really over." For now, the best option is to maintain the status quo. ”

Yan Yanan also agreed with Boss Wen's words: "Indeed, the best choice now is to maintain the status quo, the family can't fight too fiercely, and you can't let the clan power be completely concentrated on a certain person." ”

After speaking, Yan Yanan said to me again: "If not, what you have to do now is to do everything in your power to maintain the status quo of the family and ensure that you cannot break the set of selection rules set by the old lady back then." ”

I waved my hand a little irritably: "You just say what I should do." ”
