118.Chapter 118
"It should be recognized, and even as a family head, you must know the preferences, habits, weaknesses and general experiences of everyone in the aristocratic class of Zhanghua City, know the situation in the other party's family, know what they want, what they can give themselves, and whether there will be a conflict with the interests of their own family. In such a banquet occasion www.biquge.info it is actually a battlefield to test the wit and eloquence of each family representative. This is a battlefield without true Yuan power, a silent fight and competition, but the war here may be more brutal than the monk's competition. ”
Yun smiled and said, but remembered the boss on duty in his motherland. The boss once traveled to dozens of countries to do diplomacy within a year, and many ordinary people still envy him for being able to "travel the mountains and rivers", but they never thought that the boss must remember the general information of all the leaders, deputy leaders and all the ministers worth befriending in these countries that do not understand the language when he is in diplomacy, remember the relationship between them, and weigh the non-relations between different classes in different countries, remember the preferences and taboos of all the people he comes into contact with, and remember the customs and habits of different countries. Religious taboos, even different titles and different rituals.
As the boss, his words and deeds represent his country and nation, and his words and deeds must not make the slightest mistake, because any small mistake may be infinitely magnified by the enemy's public opinion. He also has to be extremely good, because then he can make those countries respect the country and the people he represents.
How can ordinary people understand the wisdom and hardship required in this?
So, in just that year, the boss's hair turned white, and the whole person was much older, as if he was ten years older than the photos before he took office.
Being the boss is naturally easy if you are a dumb king, but if you want to benefit your country and nation, then it is much more difficult and bitter than many people think.
"Battlefield...... Shen Jiabao looked at the guests who were smiling and chatting happily.
He saw Xiao Yuanyuan, the elder of the Xiao family, toasting each other with Zhao Tianci, the head of the Zhao family, with a smile. But Shen Jiabao knew that just the day before yesterday, the children of the Zhao family had a conflict with the children of the Xiao family on a hunting ground in the Southern Wilderness, one of the Xiao family died, and the Zhao family was seriously injured and two were disabled. The person who died in the Xiao family was Xiao Yuanyuan's own nephew.
He saw Zhao Tianqiang, the second master of the Zhao family, and Li Youcai, the steward of the Li family, holding their arms together and laughing at a singer together. But he clearly knew that Zhao Tianqiang's son had broken his leg by the Li family.
He saw the city lord's wife and Xiao Youyou, the head of the Xiao family, holding hands, and didn't know why they were whispering intimately, but he clearly remembered that more than 20 years ago, the city lord liked Xiao Youyou, and the city lord's wife had bought a murderer to assassinate Xiao Youyou, but she was still saved by herself...... It was also that time that Xiao Youyou had that unspeakable affection with himself.
Shen Jiabao saw the rivers of blood that were almost killed during the day, but the bright and kind faces that were smiling here at night, suddenly felt so cold.
Such a place...... It's really a battlefield......
A brutal battlefield without true elemental power......
I am here...... I am here......
Who can fight???
For a while, Shen Jiabao only felt that he was not standing in this happy and lively banquet, but standing alone on the edge of the cliff, and all the murderous dark ghosts were coming, and the bloodthirsty red light in their eyes seemed to swallow themselves and the entire Shen family......
Day 4.
Although tired, Shen Jiabao still got up early, came to the conference hall, and worked hard to review the file.
Although I am a little more familiar than yesterday, I am a little more tired than yesterday when I look at the past files.
Because I am familiar with it, because I understand it, I am more tired.
Because Shen Jiabao already knows that with a light stroke of the pen in his hand, it may be a family that is ruined and killed......
Such a heaviness made Shen Jiabao exhausted.
Shen Jiabao endured the tiredness and tried to think about it one by one, trying to judge the gains and losses calmly, but when he saw a file, he couldn't help but slap the table.
"This, why are the children of the third and fourth rooms making trouble!" Shen Jiabao said angrily: "Sir, our Shen family is now in trouble, and the Zhao family and the Li family are eager to swallow us, but why are these children so confused, and they actually make such a fuss about the three injuries and two disabilities for the matter of the quota in the Xianyun Secret Realm? This bastard Shen Rongjin actually wants to apply for a family deathmatch? What does he have in his head? Weeds or feces!!"
"And this! The three-room five-girl and the four-room three-girl actually fought for a few feet of southern Xinjiang brocade cotton, and the two girls scratched each other's faces in the Xiao family's shop......" Shen Jiabao pinched his temples weakly, and sighed: "Such a farce, is it, is it also necessary for the head of the family to adjudicate?"
"Brother Shen, do you think this is a trivial matter? In fact, whether it was the Fan family's affairs or banquets and other things yesterday, they all belonged to external things. External affairs are important, but compared to the three-room and four-room affairs, they are not as important as these internal affairs. ”
"Huh......? Why is that?"
"Because a strong fortress often starts to crumble from the inside. External causes are better, but internal troubles are more critical. Brother Shen, the external contradiction may occasionally end in a simple and rude way, but this internal contradiction ...... But it's a lot more troublesome. If the internal contradictions are simply and rudely resolved, it will only be the instability of the people in the clan, and the disintegration of the family is just around the corner......"
"This ...... This...... What Mr. said was even ......" Shen Jiabao suddenly let out a long sigh and patted weakly on these scrolls: "Jiarui...... He's been dealing with stuff like this every day all these years, all these years?"
"Naturally, yes. ”
"Jiarui......" Shen Jiabao sighed again: "Jiarui is not easy......"
"Nature is not easy. ”
"Sir, what about today...... Can Jia Rui solve it?"
"Hehe, Brother Shen, in the past twenty years, although the Shen family's high-end combat power has been insufficient, the overall power in this Zhanghua City has not shrunk, but has developed and surplus slightly, doesn't this already show Lord Shen's ability to handle things?"
"............" Shen Jiabao nodded silently, bowing his head and thinking deeply.
"Brother Shen, in fact, in the eyes of the students, the position of the head of the family represents not only power and status, but also responsibility......"
Yun Xiao gently stroked the documents waiting for Shen Jiabao to sign, and sighed: "Every stroke here carries the glory of the ancestors, determines the future of the descendants, and records the life and death of everyone in the entire family. Every decision made by the head of the family, even every word and deed, affects countless people...... Hundreds of blood relatives and thousands of vassals in this Shenjiazhuang are all the responsibilities of the head of the family. ”
"The position of the head of the family is power, but also responsibility. Yun Xiao made a conclusion.
"It's power, it's responsibility...... It's power, it's responsibility......" Shen Jiabao muttered, his eyes were at first blank, and then they became clearer and brighter. It is like a pearl that has washed away the dust.
"Mr. Liu, actually, Jiarui didn't go into retreat, right?" Shen Jiabao suddenly looked up at Yun Xiao, his eyes were bright and full of warmth.
Yun Xiao nodded without concealment: "Actually, the owner of the village is racking his brains at this time to find a way to make up for your omission yesterday......"
"Anything missing, it's a mistake...... Hahahaha......" Shen Jiabao laughed, extremely happy, for some reason, the headaches of yesterday and today have dissipated at this moment.
"Yes, hehe, in fact, in the eyes of the students, most of the documents that Brother Shen reviewed yesterday were unqualified. Yun Xiao chuckled as well.
"A stupid person like me is driven to the shelves, and naturally he is not qualified. After Shen Jiabao laughed at himself, he said: "By the way, sir, it is reported that Lin Shaogong Master and Lin Feng Shaoxia are already Ning Yuan, but sir, you are contemplative...... Come to think of it, it's just because sir, you put all your energy and time on taking care of the Hundred Flowers Palace. ”
Yun Xiao touched his nose and didn't speak.
"Twenty-four years ago, I was already at the peak of Dan, but Jia Rui was only a condensation yuan. Twenty-four years later, Jia Rui is still only a triple heaven of knots...... It's not easy for Jiarui......"
"This person, it's really ......" Shen Jiabao shook his head with a smile, turned around, and walked towards his own valley: "What about me, I'm too stupid, my brain is naturally stupid, I am not naturally suitable to be the head of this family, and it has nothing to do with the concubine, even if I am the concubine, I should have given it to the second brother." I used to be so ignorant that I thought that if I practiced quickly, I could really do anything, and I thought that if I could fight, I would definitely be able to be the head of the house...... Hahahaha, I, I'm really too ignorant and stupid!" Shen Jiabao laughed heartily.
"This kind of thing is really not something that a fool like me can do. I still do what I can and love to do. ”
"Oh, the student won't send it. ”
"Sir, stay. Shen Jiabao said, paused, turned around, his robe was neat, and he smiled at Yun Xiao for a long time: "Wait for Shen Jiabao to set up wine for Mr. in the evening, in order to thank Mr. for the grace of recreation." After saying this, Shen Jiabao's body shook, and then turned into a virtual shadow and disappeared.
