In the Zhou family's residence, the situation was similar to that in the city lord's palace. They were also amidst the groans and sighs. The Zhou family, the older generation of Mr. Zhou, all had their heads drooped and listlessly. They had tried their best to come up with nothing.
"Let's put it all together again..." They didn't expect that just overnight, the situation in the Liming Gathering area would change dramatically. Unexpectedly, the salted fish turned upside down. Now they were in a dilemma, and the Zhou family had to return to the choice of life and death.
when.
At first, the young and old men of the Zhou family were all arrogant, and no one looked down on the Ant Alliance. Who knew that the other party had made a huge turn overnight, catching the Zhou family by surprise.
"Wrong, we were wrong." Some people kept sighing and hissing without any constructive suggestions.
From the Yubeichuan riot in the city lord's palace, the destruction of the Lu family's camp, the Enhancer Alliance, to the news that the scattered alliance was preparing to surrender to the Ant Alliance, one by one, they plucked their heartstrings and made them tremble with fear.
"It's too scary." When did the Ant Alliance station hide so deeply? "Alas..." someone sighed. If he had known this today, why bother in the first place? If... it's just that things are unpredictable...
"What else can you say?" Zhou Zhongxian was silent, sitting silently on his seat.
He didn't say anything, what could he say now? He didn't even know that when things got to this point, he was powerless and it was too late to say anything.
Judging from Yu Beichuan's current actions, although this person cannot be said to be a villain who will definitely retaliate for his teeth, he is not a kind person with a broad heart. If he has not touched the Zhou family now, it does not mean that he will not move or still.
Didn't move.
"Report!" A guard squadron leader hurried in with a pale face. He was panting. It seemed that he had walked in a hurry all the way.
"Say!" Mr. Zhou asked sternly. He was receiving constant bad news. One or two more would probably not be a big deal.
"Reporting to Fourth Master! We have just confirmed the news that the Qilin Team does have a special relationship with the Ant Alliance. Previously, the Qilin Team used to go out for training, and all of them left the Qilin Team overnight and joined the Ant Alliance." The guard squadron leader said carefully.
"Are you sure it's before the war starts or after the war starts?" Mr. Zhou immediately grasped this key point. It would be a big trouble before the war started. But after the war started, the Zhou family can still do it. No matter what, as long as
Only by protecting the Zhou family can we survive.
"Report to Mr. Zhou! Before the war begins!" the guard squadron leader answered decisively. He had reviewed this question repeatedly.
"Are you sure?" The young and old men of the Zhou family present became nervous. Do they know what this means?
The guard squadron leader said with a wry smile, "The news came from a squadron leader who joined the Ant Alliance. Before this, the investigation force of the City Lord's Mansion also seemed to have made a discovery."
The scene became quiet, quiet! It was terrifyingly quiet!
"Zhongxian, what do you think?" Master Zhou raised his head and asked about Zhou Zhongxian.
Zhou Zhongxian on the side couldn't sit still. He sneered and said, "Before the war started, I made a request to assist them, and every one of you was against it."
He sighed, "When the Ant Alliance was in danger of resisting, you thought you had the ability to play both sides. Now that you have aroused their dissatisfaction, you want to repair the relationship. There is nothing so cheap in the world."
Facts speak louder than words. Now it seems that Zhou Zhongxian's suggestion at that time was correct. The old and young people in the Zhou family's residence all looked at each other and could not say anything.
Businessmen are businessmen, and profit comes first. They overthink this. It was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but they, who were obsessed with profit and only cared about immediate gains, finally tasted the consequences of what they had sown.
"Zhongxian, you are also from the Zhou family, why do you talk like this?" Mr. Zhou spoke.
"Haha, in your eyes, those who want to protect themselves while others are in crisis, and then look for opportunities to make a fortune, can be said to be unscrupulous and arrogant." Zhou Zhongxian was so angry that he cursed uncontrollably.
"In your eyes, no matter who or what you do, no matter what, it is a tool for you to make money. As long as you can make money, what are the tombs of your ancestors? What are your wives and children? What are the lives and deaths of others?" Zhou Zhongxian
Said coldly.
"You..." The young and old of the Zhou family pointed at him bitterly, but still had nothing to say. Businessmen always pursue profit, and profit comes first. Isn't that the case?
In ancient times, the plutocratic families survived through several dynasties and generations. In the final analysis, they were able to pursue their own interests in troubled times. These interests could become life-saving capital and control the economic lifeline when new dynasties came. The so-called
The change of dynasties has nothing to do with them.
It can be said that the ancient plutocratic families controlled the lifeblood. They have always used wars and disasters to seek violence, and made the country difficult to make money in exchange for the growth of the family. This was the path that the young and old men of the Zhou family originally wanted to take.
There is a saying in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" that "businessmen value profits over separation". The so-called businessmen seize opportunities to strengthen themselves and seek ways to develop.
"What is the definition of a businessman? A businessman refers to a person who uses certain tangible resources of himself or society as a tool to obtain profits and has certain social responsibilities. Without a sense of responsibility, he cannot be called a businessman." Zhou Zhongxian expressed eloquently.
"Okay, Zhongxian, you know that the Zhou family is in a life-and-death crisis right now. If you have any ideas or requests, please come up with them." Mr. Zhou calmed down.
Before, their work was not done well and they did not really understand the strength of Yubeichuan and the others. Judging from Yubeichuan's current behavior, I am afraid that this person is a tyrant who must retaliate for his every bite.
"There is no way!" Zhou Zhongxian said angrily.
"Zhongxian, don't you like Commander Dong who is stationed in the Ant Alliance? We agree that you propose marriage to her immediately." Someone from the Zhou family proposed.
"Haha, yes, once we get married and become a family, all problems will be solved!" The Zhou family became excited.
"In-laws? You are thinking too much!" Zhou Zhongxian smiled sadly. Until now, he knows better than anyone else what kind of person he is in Dong Qiuling's eyes.
"Zhongxian, no matter how much you think about it or not, you have to do this!" The older generation of the Zhou family spoke up, "It is a matter of life and death for the Zhou family, so don't be willful!"
"Haha, whatever, I won't participate!" Zhou Zhongxian was frustrated. At this time, they were still thinking about their own interests, even at the expense of themselves. However, Zhou Zhongxian gave up and stood up and said something.
He walked out without saying anything.
"Zhongxian, where are you going?" Zhou Zhongxian gave them a cold look without expression, turned his head, and never looked back. If the Zhou family had stepped forward when the Ant Alliance was in crisis, what would have happened?
It's different now.
"Forget it, ignore him, you are so childish, he will be fine after a while!" Mr. Zhou became energetic after thinking of a countermeasure.
The only person present who could see the problem was Butler Jiang. He stood up and followed Zhou Zhongxian out.
