C1503 Fan Tao the Abandoned Son(1)
"Shut up! Do you remember that you are from the Wang family? Then don't use others' morale to dampen your own prestige! "Old Master Wang glared at Fann Tao and said coldly," That precious son of yours, Fann Binn, is really an extraordinary figure. He has already achieved such an achievement at such a young age! It is more important that those reformist officials like him. Do you regret your decision to join the Wang family? Let me tell you, it is useless even if you regret it! You are now tied to the big ship of the Wang family. If you want to leave, the only way is to drown! You can take back everything that the Wang family can give you! "
" Father-in-law, you misunderstood my meaning. I have no intention of betraying the Wang family. I just want to remind everyone that the current situation doesn't allow us to act on impulse anymore. Although Fann Binn and we are enemies, a wise man who understands the situation is a wise man. We can't confront him head on in this kind of situation. It would be best to stabilize the situation first before making a move... "
Fann Tao sighed helplessly and said, "I have always underestimated my son Fann Binn's ability. I really did not expect that. He has today's climate. To him, we... We really can't fight him. We should talk to him. If father-in-law agrees, I can go and mediate with him. "
" Make peace? Haha, what a huge joke!" Ye Zhenyu suddenly said coldly, "Fan Mayor, don't you think it's too easy for you to say that? Advising peace? How could he persuade him? Should he persuade Fann Binn, or should he persuade Ye Family and Wang family? Could it be that you want the Ye and Wang family to lower their noble heads? Apologize to that brat Fann Binn and admit your mistake?"
" Although Ye Family has suffered a great setback, it hasn't reached that stage yet! He didn't know what he was going to face. He was going to face the joint forces of the two great families, the capital city and the Jiang Zhe Province. Could it be that they are still unable to deal with him, brat? Humph, if that's the case, I'm afraid that the Ye and Wang family will only become the laughing stock of the people! "
Ye Zhenyu's words had obviously made the rest of the Wang family feel the same way. Indeed... The Wang family was a big family in the Jiang Zhe Province, and the Ye Family was a big family in the capital. They were both famous and glorious families. So many people from the two big families wanted to compromise with a young businessman. Wasn't this a great irony? They wouldn't agree even if they used their brains to think about it.
Fann Tao helplessly sighed and closed his mouth. He knew there was no point in continuing. Why? Because there was no need for that. There were too many people in Wang family and Ye Family. None of them knew how powerful Fann Binn was and how terrifying he was! That's right, terrifying. He had the power and strength that even his father could feel! But these people didn't understand...
Wang Lihua pulled his sleeve, indicating for him to stop talking. Fann Tao also knew that even if he said it, it would be meaningless. Instead, it would only increase his hatred. The hostile gaze of Old Master Wang, who was standing next to him, also made him feel a chill in his heart. Since they were not interested in his proposal, if they thought he was the representative of cowardly behavior, then what reason did they have to continue talking?
"No matter what, Fann Binn has killed my brother's son. He is the enemy of Wang family. We must not show any mercy or pity to him!"
Old Master Wang patted the armchair and said with a heavy tone, "But we have to be careful when dealing with Fann Binn. We also have to be careful when dealing with the current situation. With the collapse of the Conservatives and the appointment of reformist, the three fires of war were put down. It's bound to burn us to the ground and affect the interests of our two great families. What should we do? I think we should sacrifice some people to protect some people. We should develop some people. Only by doing so will our family be able to stand on this land of Jiangzhe forever."
Old Master Wang's words immediately caused everyone to fall into deep thought. Wang Lihua immediately felt that something was wrong. What did the old man mean by this plan? Sacrifice some people? Sacrifice who? Who would be sacrificed?
It was not only Wang Lihua who was most concerned about this problem, many people from the Wang family were also afraid and puzzled about this problem. Old Master Wang saw that his descendants were looking at him with a questioning and fearful gaze and could not help saying faintly. "For the interests of the family, sometimes personal interests are not the top priority. Once you lose power, don't complain endlessly, because you have successfully protected the family's power. This is the best contribution!"
"Hmph... How can there be an egg underneath a nest..." Fann Tao couldn't help but snort and mutter in a low voice. Wang Lihua was so scared that she patted his arm lightly and glared at him. Fann Tao stared back unhappily and said in a low voice, "What I said is the truth. It's useless even if you stare at me."
"You... Don't speak nonsense. Let me tell you, if you have any grievances today, you can't say these words to Dad. Did you hear that? " Wang Lihua pinched Fann Tao lightly and said in a low voice in dissatisfaction. " The old man is already worried to death. Why do you still want to provoke him? Follow his lead!"
When Wang Lihua said this, she did not expect Old Master Wang to finally look at the two of them. She coughed twice and said, "Fann Tao, you have climbed up to the Deputy Mayor of Beihai City step by step from the director of a small county. This high position that everyone dreamt of was enough to prove your talent. But you have to know that when the reformist is appointed, three of them will burn the butt of our family. "
" At this time, we have to carry out a smart method to deal with ourselves. Only then can we prevent those bastards from kicking our butt. Those who know the situation are wise men. If we don't give the reformist some benefits, how can we survive? Therefore, after thinking it over and over again, I have decided that you should resign from the position of Deputy Mayor of the Beihai City. What do you think?"
Old Master Wang's voice was very calm, as if he was leisurely pulling the strings of his family. However, when these words entered Fann Tao's ears, it instantly made him freeze on the spot. He widened his eyes. His eyes were filled with disbelief! Perhaps he had never dreamt that he would be the first person to truly be the so-called victim. It was actually him! Instantly, he felt like he had completely collapsed!
"Dad!!" Wang Lihua was also completely stunned this time. She was clearly at a loss as to what to do. After a while, she suddenly asked loudly in confusion, "I... This, what did Fann Tao do wrong? You actually want to sacrifice him like this? Make him give up his official position that he had worked for his entire life? "? " Why was that! I, I can't figure it out!"
" If you can't figure it out, then go back and slowly think about it! " Old Master Wang frowned and said discontentedly, "For the overall interests of Wang family, what's the big deal about sacrificing your own interests for the time being? Do you think that your small profits are greater than the overall interests of Wang family? "
Wang Lihua could not help but say angrily, "Dad... Then what do you want Fann Tao to do? Did you want him to retire and retire at such a young age? Besides being an official, what else can he do!"
" But he does a lot of things, all kinds of flowers... Raising grass is also very fun! Of course, if you don't want to retire, you can continue to do business in the future. Be a businessman. You can tell me what you want to open and what industry you want to invest in. I'll give you the first start-up capital."
Old Master Wang casually looked at Fann Tao, who was still standing there in shock, with an ugly expression on his face. He sighed and said, "Fann Tao, you have to think about the bigger picture. Besides, you are not the only one who retired... The reformist was overbearing. The Wang family had no choice but to focus on business. Luckily, we have a lot of connections in Jiangzhe and other places. I think if we do business... There will definitely be a lot of preferential policies."
"Business... Haha, father-in-law, you want a Deputy Mayor like me to do business? Don't you think it's ridiculous? " Fann Tao was truly in despair. He couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly. " I have to change from a scholar to a lowly merchant. Aren't you afraid that the people of the world will laugh at the Wang family? "
"Laugh at me? Who dares to laugh at the Wang family? Only you can be ridiculed! The Wang family also has a very high reputation in politics. Only you, who became a businessman, will be laughed at!"
Old Master Wang was provoked by Fann Tao's words and angrily said," Fann Tao, don't think that just because you become Deputy Mayor, you can't even listen to the words of Wang family! If I can make you become Deputy Mayor, I naturally have the ability to make you a piece of cloth clothing again! Your fate... There are many people in the world who want to become an official. Why is it your, Fann Tao, turn to be an official? A fellow from a small county is really ambitious!"
Fann Tao's face alternated between green and red. He had clearly been provoked by Old Master Wang's words and was incomparably furious. Perhaps he only realized it now. It turned out that he, Fann Tao... Just a pawn of Wang family, a pawn manipulated by others! To put it bluntly, he was just a dog, a dog that allowed the Wang family to order him around!
He instantly felt his heart break. It turned out that he had worked hard for so many years. He had worked hard on his career, but in the end, it was all because of a single sentence from the Wang family. It had caused him to fall from his divine altar! No, he had never been on the altar before. On the altar... It was the Wang family, not him, the foreign son-in-law!
The humiliation and unwillingness made Fann Tao clench his fists and clench his teeth in anger. Looking at the mocking eyes of his former comrades from the Wang family, he felt like his dream had been shattered. He had the urge to die! When a person's lifelong pursuit was taken away from him, he lived in this world. What meaning was there! He really didn't expect that he would be summoned from the Beihai City to attend the internal meeting of the Wang family. It was the end of his career!
Wang Lihua's face was full of tears. She had no words for her husband, and she didn't know how to face her father. As the woman in the middle, she complained that she had been wronged. But what could she do? Her father's words were like military orders, but she could not comfort her husband's grievances and resentment. She really did not know what to do as both sides were not human...
At this moment, Fann Tao suddenly stood up. He looked at Old Master Wang with eyes full of anger and said, "A man can be killed but not humiliated. As an official, I rely on my own efforts. And I got it in exchange for my endless loyalty to the government! Perhaps the Wang family played an irreplaceable role in this. But I, Fann Tao, am not someone who is manipulated by others!"
" I have my own thoughts, my own thoughts. My own decisions! I spent so many years climbing up Deputy Mayor's position, step by step. How could I give up just like that? It ended just like that! I, Fann Tao, have my own life and power. I don't need the Wang family to control my life and death for me!"
"Resign? I'm sorry, I won't resign on my own accord, because I didn't make any mistakes! Unless the country finds out about me and revokes my position, I will never leave my job! "
