He originally thought that Fang Yuan wanted to teach him a lesson. But he didn't expect that Fang Yuan wanted to kill him, and was even willing to pay such an expensive price like the Redbud Token!
"For me, you are so brave and ruthless, is it worth it?" Zhou Quan wanted to cry after receiving such 'attention' from Fang Yuan!
He was a normal person.
He was also afraid of death.
Or else, after the Zhou clan was destroyed, he would be alone and heavily injured, he would have taken the chance to die.
But he survived.
Survival was every living being's instinct.
He rejected Shang Xin Ci because he didn't like her. He was naturally arrogant, and was once the leader of a clan, how could he submit to a silly little girl?
But he didn't expect things to become so big!
Now he was facing the threat of death! Fang Yuan's craziness was something he never expected.
"If I had known this, I would have listened to that girl and let it go. But I actually ended up like this! "Zhou Quan's heart was filled with intense regret.
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid.
Between survival and arrogance, of course survival was the priority. Or else he wouldn't have been a stray dog, living without purpose until now.
"That's right, I understand now! I rejected Shang Xin Ci multiple times, and severely damaged her reputation. Fangzheng is also Shang Xin Ci's biggest supporter, so he wanted to get rid of me! Shang Yi Fan misled me …. "
Feeling the increasing killing intent from Fang Yuan, Zhou Quan's mind was in a mess.
With his intelligence, he only needed to probe a little to understand that the rumors on the streets were caused by Shang Yi Fan.
At first, he was still very pleased with himself, hiding his pride. These rumors would be an excellent excuse for him to reject Shang Xin Ci. At the same time, from the rumors, he could see how highly Shang Yi Fan regarded him. If he really couldn't, he could rely on Shang Yi Fan.
There was no difference between Shang Yi Fan and Shang Xin Ci to him. As long as he was willing to assist them, he could make them the young master.
This was Zhou Quan's confidence.
But now he was filled with regret.
It was because of these rumors that caused Fang Yuan to have killing intent towards him. It was too late for him to rely on Shang Yi Fan now.
Fang Yuan was a madman, he didn't play by the rules at all. This time, Zhou Quan was completely screwed!
Zhou Quan was lying on the ground, his bones were broken, and his face was being stepped on by Fang Yuan, he couldn't move at all.
He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for mercy.
But when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't say it.
"There are so many people watching. Begging for mercy in front of everyone would be a complete disgrace. But if I don't beg for mercy and surrender, my life will be over … "
At this crucial moment, Zhou Quan's arrogance was still.
At this moment, Zhou Quan's arrogance still remained.
"Zhou Zhou Quan," Quan said. Zhou Quan, since you don't know what's good for you, then you're not a hero. "That Fang Yuan" to Fang Yuan "Zhou You" You "t". "'t" to Zhou "You" to "t ''t" "" t "" Zhou "
Zhou Zhou Goes. "Quan" t. "Fang" to Fang "Fang" Tian "
But Fang Yuan's leg exerted so much force that his cheeks were stuck. Zhou Quan wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
Zhou Quan panicked!
"Wait, I don't want to die. I want to beg, I want to surrender, let me talk … "
He roared in his mind, at the same time, he used all his remaining strength to swing his arms and legs.
He grabbed Fang Yuan's calf, but Fang Yuan's body was like steel, he didn't move.
"My life is over …" Just when Zhou Quan was in despair, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Big brother Hei Tu, have mercy." Shang Xin Ci rushed to the scene.
"Xin Ci, looks like I couldn't hide it from you. I know you're thirsty for talent, but don't plead for this guy. This kind of person deserves to die. "Fang Yuan replied coldly, but he was slowly withdrawing his strength.
"No, big brother Hei Tu, I want to speak." Shang Xin Ci insisted.
She continued: "Big brother, you haven't known old mister Zhou Quan for a long time, but I know him better. Old mister Zhou has always wanted to rebuild the Zhou family. He had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and his ambition couldn't be fulfilled. He had once spoken to me in sorrow, saying that he couldn't let go of his family. Before his wife died, she had asked him to rebuild the family. These years, he had been carrying a heavy burden, fighting hard. He had his own difficulties … "
"It's like this." Fang Yuan withdrew most of his strength, his expression changing slightly.
"Why don't I remember speaking to you?" Zhou Quan felt strange, when his wife died, he wasn't even at the scene.
But he soon realized that this was a show put up by Shang Xin Ci and Fang Yuan.
Actually, Fang Yuan and Shang Xin Ci still wanted to recruit him!
They used Shang clan city as a stage, and put up a good show in front of everyone. What they said just now was a prearranged stage.
Not only did they proclaim Shang Xin Ci's benevolence and thirsty for talent, they also gave him a way out.
"Such a good plan, a good plan … I, the great Zhou clan leader, have fallen in the hands of these juniors. The new generation truly surpasses the old. "Zhou Quan gritted his teeth, sighing in his heart.
There was anger, hatred, and also helplessness.
"I see. I didn't expect old mister Zhou to be such an ambitious person. However, you are still foolish. Assisting Xin Ci does not conflict with your ambition to rebuild the Zhou Family. For your ideals, you are not afraid of death, I admire you. But you don't know, dying is easy, but enduring humiliation for your ideals, carrying a heavy burden and moving forward, that is true courage. "Fang Yuan said loudly.
When Zhou Quan heard this, how could he not know that Fang Yuan was giving him a way out.
This was very likely the last step.
If he did not grasp it, then his life would be over, he would not have any more chances.
Thinking of this, this old man opened his mouth: "Sigh! Geniuses will appear in every generation, those who succeed are the teachers, after hearing your words today, I am enlightened! "
Fang Yuan released his leg.
Shang Xin Ci was overjoyed, quickly helping Zhou Quan up.
Zhou Quan endured the pain all over his body, stood up shakily, and knelt down towards Shang Xin Ci: "Zhou Quan greets Lady Xin Ci."
…
"What did you say? Zhou Quan actually acknowledged that silly girl as his master? "In the study room, Shang Yi Fan heard the news and was stunned for a long time.
"Impossible! I know Zhou Quan's personality, even when Shang Ya Zi was the young master and controlled the shops in Shang clan city, he could not recruit him. How did she, Shang Xin Ci, obtain Zhou Quan's loyalty?! "Shang Yi Fan reacted and exclaimed loudly.
"This is true." Old steward Zhang sighed: "Shang Xin Ci is still inexperienced, she naturally does not have the ability. But she has Fangzheng and Bai Ning Bing by her side. Honestly speaking, I underestimated Fangzheng. She didn't expect him to be a shrewd man despite his rough exterior. He purposely caused a huge ruckus, forcing Zhou Quan to acknowledge him as his master. "
"If Zhou Quan did not acknowledge him as his master, Fangzheng would have killed him on the spot. Now, the entire street and shops are talking about this. There are rumors everywhere, saying that Zhou Quan endured humiliation in order to rebuild his clan. After being enlightened by Fangzheng, he finally chose to submit to Shang Xin Ci, who is thirsty for talent. Now, Shang Xin Ci's prestige has reached a peak! "
Shang Yi Fan heard this and was enraged: "That means, we spent so much effort to spread rumors, but it was all for them? Liars, they are all liars! These rumors must have been purposely spread by them, what a good story of a meeting between a ruler and a subject. Pah! "
"Young Master Yifan, don't be impatient. This competition is far from over. Although Shang Xin Ci has talented subordinates, they might not be able to gain their loyalty. Next, with the help of madam's forces, we still have a high chance of winning. "Old steward Zhang said calmly.
Under his persuasion, Shang Yi Fan's emotions gradually calmed down.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with a sinister light: "You are right. Building a force is not something that can be done in a day. She obtained these people almost all because of Fangzheng's threats and promises, how can they truly submit? Hehehe, next, I will sow discord, and use money to bribe them, I don't believe it will be ineffective! "
…
With Shang Xin Ci's planning, Fangzheng and Zhou Quan's support, Wei De Xin, the three Xiong clan brothers working together, the information business regarding the martial stage was finally established.
Just like Shang Xin Ci expected, once this business opened, it caused a huge commotion and reaction.
On the first day of business, they earned back all the money they had invested in the store.
On the second day, it still caused a commotion.
On the third day, the excitement had yet to subside.
After seven days, Shang Xin Ci's three hundred thousand Yuan stone had increased to four hundred and forty thousand.
Shang Yi Fan's schemes did not make any progress. Shang Xin Ci's force was like an iron bucket, tightly controlled by Zhou Jin. Everyone's loyalty caused the other young masters to be shocked.
Shang Yi Fan was panicking, because he knew: If Shang Xin Ci continued to develop, with her ferocious momentum, she would definitely be the final winner.
He started to borrow his mother's force to influence Shang clan's higher-ups.
Shang Xin Ci's information business involved the martial stage, it was a sensitive topic. Shang clan's higher-ups and elders discussed, just as they were about to order Shang Xin Ci to stop the business, Shang Yan Fei stood up and supported his daughter.
Shang Yan Fei's stance was the final blow to Shang Yi Fan.
Months later, Shang Yi Fan and his mother's force could not reverse the situation, they were defeated by Shang Xin Ci.
Shang Xin Ci succeeded Shang Ya Zi's position, becoming one of the ten young masters!
But the sadness of parting washed away the joy of success.
"Big brother Hei Tu, are you really in such a rush to leave?" Shang Xin Ci walked out of the city gates, sending them off.
"You have already succeeded in becoming a young master. With your talent, you will definitely be able to hold on to it. Xin Ci, all good things must come to an end, we will meet again, don't be too sad. "
Fang Yuan consoled, before changing the topic: "Before I leave, I have something to remind you. You have to look far ahead, above the ten young masters, there is still young clan leader Shang Tuo Hai. Above Shang Tuo Hai, there are the five important clan elders of Shang clan, and your father Shang Yan Fei. Above Shang Yan Fei, there are Shang clan supreme elders … "
"Big brother, don't worry. Back then, Shang Tuo Hai became young clan leader at the right time. The other Shang clan young masters had the geographical advantage. I have neither the right time nor the geographical advantage, only investors and people can fight against them. Big brother, if you need anything, just inform me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will definitely do it for you! "Shang Xin Ci's eyes shone with wisdom.
These words made Fangzheng and Liu Qiyue involuntarily look over.
As expected of the outstanding female talent who would become Shang clan leader in the future!
"Alright, we will meet again." Fang Yuan looked deeply at Shang Xin Ci before turning to leave.
Bai Ning Bing followed beside him.
Their figures, one black and one white, gradually disappeared into the forest on the mountain path.
Shang Xin Ci and the two maids stood on the spot for a long time, gazing at the direction where Fang and Bai disappeared without moving.
"Big brother Hei Tu, San Cha mountain is dangerous, please take care!" Shang Xin Ci's beautiful eyes became misty as she prayed in her heart.
(PS: Someone asked, why should I change? Simple, if I don't change, I will be blocked. Do you think I should change?
Sometimes, it is easy to die a martyr's death, but it is hard to live for one's ideals. What men need is patience and perseverance!
This sentence is for Zhou Quan, and also for me.
I am very lucky to have so many people supporting me. Many of them have always supported me. Even though my updates are terrible and unstable, even though my morals are often broken.
This is not the first time I have complained. Writing this book is not profitable, it is too niche, there is a lot of pressure on all sides.
Sigh, be it me or everyone. It was not easy to persevere until now.
Let me tell you a piece of good news, I have some time now.
