He opened his eyes with a headache. He looked at this unfamiliar place.
"Young Master Shen, you're awake."
"And you are? Where is this place?"
"I'm Old Huang from the Qin Clan, and I'm in charge of some small matters within the Qin Clan. I wish to be the butler of the past.”
"Oh, Uncle Huang…"
"Don't call me that. You'll kill me.”
"Hehe, respecting the old and loving the young is a tradition in China. How could I forget that? Oh, right, Dongrui?"
"Young Master hasn't woken up yet. By the way, Old Master asked me to come and see you just now. If you're awake, he'll ask you to eat something.”
"Oh, I see. Thank you, Uncle Huang. Please lead the way.”He followed Uncle Huang to the dining room and saw a dignified elder sitting at the dining table. He was reading a newspaper attentively.
"Old Master, Young Master Shen is here."
"Greetings, Uncle."
" Oh." He raised his head and stared at me with a pair of tiger eyes that were filled with dignity. I was really a little nervous, but thinking about how I didn't do anything to let the Qin family down, I faced it calmly after a moment.
"Alright, alright. It was really like the new waves pushing on the old. I haven't left the house for a long time. I didn't expect the younger generation to be so amazing. Not bad. Come, sit. Treat this place as your own home. If you need anything, tell Uncle Huang and he will arrange it for you.”In this way, I was a little confused and embarrassed.
"Nephew, come, come, sit. Eat with uncle.”
"Thank you, Uncle. Aren't you going to wait for Dongrui?”
"I think Rui Er hasn't woken up yet. Uncle Huang, you should go to Young Master's place to take a look. Rui Er was too drunk last night.”
"Yes, Master. I'll go and get busy first.”
"Mhm, sorry to trouble you, Uncle Huang."
"Nephew, it's to your liking, right? If not, I'll get the kitchen to make it again.”
"Uncle, there's no need. It's fine.”
"That's good. Where are your friends?”
"I'm from SSS."
"Oh, then how did you get to know Rui 'er?”I put down my spoon and told him how I met Dong Rui. However, he was very curious. Logically speaking, the Qin family was also considered a powerful family. Why was the information of the family head so blocked? Is he testing me? Or was it because of something else? But looking at him, it seemed like he really didn't know anything about Dong Rui.
Uncle Qin seemed to have read my mind."It's been more than ten years. Rui 'er and I have been in a cold war. Sigh, ever since his mother passed away, he had changed completely. He was always alone and cold to everyone. But thinking back, was I wrong? Even if I disbanded the gang, what would happen to the brothers in the gang? They also have families. They can't affect everyone because of me, right? How am I going to meet my brothers in the future? Even if I really disbanded the gang and my brothers didn't blame me, would those people let us go? No, definitely not. For their own interests, they would definitely kill everyone. As long as one was a human, they would not allow any potential threat to exist. This was human nature.
"Uncle, Dongrui actually doesn't blame you anymore. It's just that he's been suppressing himself for too long these past few years, and he's slowly getting used to it. When he's done adjusting, I believe everything will get better. After all, you are father and son, and he is your only son. In fact, what Uncle said just now made sense. People would make all the unfavorable factors disappear and resort to unscrupulous means to protect themselves. In the biological world, the most ferocious animal must be human. Haha.“
" Good, well said. I've lived for more than 60 years, but my insight into things is not as deep as you, a young man who has just turned 20. I'm ashamed, ashamed.“
"Thank you for your compliment, Uncle. Right, Uncle, when I first entered the house. You glanced at me. Why did he keep saying yes? Then what's going on?"
"Oh, about that, my dear nephew, let me ask you first. Do you believe in martial arts in this world?”
"I don't believe it."
"Hehe, you're wrong. Actually, martial arts do exist. It's just that they're not as powerful as they are on television. "Our Qin family is actually an ancient martial arts aristocratic family. If it was back then, if I hadn't just started cultivating, those clowns would have wanted to kill me. What a pity, what a pity. When you first entered the house, I used my family's Mind Terror Technique. Although I only used 50% of my strength, your performance has already made me sigh in admiration. If it were anyone else, they would probably be skinned alive if not dead.”
"Uncle, it can't be that exaggerated, right? I personally think that the Mind Fury Technique has its shortcomings when facing an enemy. For example, if the opponent's will is firm or if the opponent's mind is clear and there is no fluctuation in his heart, then the Mind Fury Technique has no chance of winning. That's why I said it wasn't that exaggerated. But as long as I adjust quickly, I can still turn the situation around. Isn't that right, Uncle?“
"Not bad, not bad at all. What you said is also the only shortcoming of this Mind Intimidation Technique. It was true that it did not affect people with firm willpower, but how many people with firm willpower were there in reality? If you looked at him, he would let his imagination run wild. To be honest, it was better for girls to cultivate the Mind Fear Technique. If a woman looked at you a few more times, as long as it was a man, who could be as calm as still water? In fact, some martial arts were developed to target a person's weaknesses. It's to use a man's lustful heart to achieve unexpected results. Hehe, don't you think so, nephew?"
"En, that's true. Who asked him to be a man?。”
"Uncle, can you tell me about the current society? For example, in terms of martial arts, was it only the Qin family that knew it, or did other families also know it?”
"Up until now, only Zhang, Li, and our Qin family are left in the open. Of course, we can't say that there are only three big families left in the world. Some families are in the dark and usually don't surface, but they definitely have their own spokesperson in the open. Otherwise, a big family will spend a lot of money every year. Without a fixed source of income, no one can survive. The Zhang family mainly operates in the south, while the Li family operates in the north. Our Qin family is only left in the central region. Of course, within the sphere of influence of the three families, there are more or less other families 'industries. This way, it will be convenient for us to grasp the latest developments of the other party in time, so that we can make the best judgment. This situation was also tacitly approved by the three great clans, so no one tried to break it. When I took over the Qin family, it could be said to be a truly big family.。。Hehe, because I have always been obsessed with martial arts and don't have much talent in business, the current Qin family has not developed much compared to before. It is even showing signs of regressing. Now, in terms of business, the Qin family was no longer a match for the other two. However, in terms of comprehensive assets, they might not be comparable. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. All these years, it was really thanks to Rui 'er. He was really good at business. Because of this, although the Zhang and Li families had joined forces to suppress the Qin family several times, they had never really taken advantage of them. Hehe, so now, the three families seemed to be calm on the surface, but no one knew what the other party was doing behind their backs. No one dared to rashly launch a commercial competition. However, after Rui 'er's mother left, I, who had no intention of doing business, lost all my interest and focused on studying martial arts. Now that the Qin family has become like this, to be honest, I really don't have the face to meet the ancestors of the Qin family in the future. In addition, the relationship between Rui 'er and me has been very strained these years. Sometimes, I really want to throw away this burden and find a quiet place. When I have nothing to do, I can find someone to play chess, drink tea, and discuss martial arts. Wouldn't that be better? Sigh, to be honest, I've been really…。。。
As the saying goes, men don't cry easily, but they haven't reached the point of sadness. He looked at Uncle Qin's fragile side. Sitting on the chair, that lonely expression really seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. Didn't parents work so hard for their children to live a better life in the future? After toiling for a lifetime, when would he be considered to be living for himself? Parents all over the world are like this. He was thinking about what he could use to show his filial piety to his parents in the future, and what he could use to let them live in peace.
"Nephew, what's wrong?“
"Oh, it's nothing. I just couldn't help but feel a little touched when I saw Uncle's expression. I thought of my parents and felt a little uncomfortable.“
"Sigh, it's been hard on you. It's rare for young people these days to have thoughts like yours. What are you doing now?
"I originally came out to find my own ideals. To put it bluntly, it's strength and wealth. However, he didn't know how he ended up going to school. It was fine if he didn't go to that school. He had nothing to do there all day except to play. Later, he retained his student status there and came out. However, I realized that it was very difficult for honest people to survive in society. They were bullied everywhere. Originally, I wanted to save some money and work on my own, but now I realized that it was very difficult. My previous thoughts were too childish. If you don't have any capital, it's purely a fool's dream to start from scratch. What a joke. The newspapers said that someone started from scratch and eventually established a business empire. At that time, I admired him, but now I truly understand what it means to start from scratch.“
"Oh, then tell me. Let uncle hear your thoughts.“
"I think that starting from scratch must have had external factors. Either someone helped you, or you got a considerable amount of start-up funds. Then, he added his own efforts. Or perhaps, there were other factors that made you successful. However, there were many factors that determined a person's success, whether it was external or internal. They often talked about starting from scratch, so there must be one or more of these factors. This should be what they often say about starting from scratch. I wonder if I can understand it this way? Uncle Qin."
"You can understand it that way. Then let me ask you, how did the first generation of every big family accumulate wealth?|”
" As for how the first generation of each family accumulated their wealth, the key to their success was their courage and their methods. After all, the first generation was not very healthy in all aspects during that era. Therefore, I guess they used some loopholes to quickly accumulate wealth and then think of a way to turn it from illegal to legal. This is why the first generation of family leaders are a little bandit and are not afraid of any hooligans. And when the clan truly became strong, they would not allow any negative effects to happen. It was because the descendants were walking the same path as them, and they were afraid.”
"Alright, then let me ask you another question. If a person has all the factors, what kind of heart is the most important?”
"This, I think, is a ruthless person. Under the same conditions, a person with this heart has a higher chance of success. However, not every family leader was like this. If someone was willing to stand behind you and do everything for you silently, it was also possible. Some things couldn't be solved openly, so they could only rely on the power of the dark.
"Alright, alright. It was really good. I've lived for so long, but I really don't have your perspective on certain things. That's right, I've broadened my horizons today. I don't know if Rui 'er is lucky to have a friend like you, or if it's something else.。。“
"Uncle, what did you say?“
"It's nothing, hehe. I just wanted to tell you that it's not enough for you to have only one heart. At the same time, you need to have a certain amount of brains and know when to advance and retreat. At the same time, you must also have a certain level of strength. You can't just say that you're ruthless. If your physical fitness can't keep up, you won't be able to escape the fate of failure in the end. With a strong body and good coordination in all aspects, you could fully display your fighting strength. Only in this way could you be arrogant and frivolous. Otherwise, you would be doomed.
