The evening of November 20, 2017

Qingyuncheng City, Lujia Courtyard.m. The site that saves the most traffic and has no ads on mobile phones.

In a spacious and bright conference room, the heavyweight elders of the Lu family Qingyun family gathered together. With more than a dozen expressionless faces, the atmosphere in the conference room became quite serious.

But it was only serious. There was not much pessimism in the room. People just looked at the report in their hands and smiled bitterly.

After reading the report in his hand, Lu Xin knocked on the conference table, pondered for a while and said, "So, the Qian family is preparing to withdraw? Haha, it's worthy of being a businessman, and he made a quick decision. What do you think?"

"I think that since the general trend is irreversible, let's go with the flow." An elder suggested, "The Qian family is quite authentic, and they communicated with us in advance the layout and plan. They also said that the signed contract is still valid, and the research on the marrow washing liquid will not be interrupted, so we actually have no losses."

An elder laughed and said, "Yes, the real expenses are all on the Qian family. We just lose some time and energy, so we won't be hurt."

"It's a pity that we have too little liquidity. Otherwise, if the Qian family's plan can be involved, it will not only not lose money, but will make a lot of money. Hehe, although this Qingyun Competition lost the championship, it also won a lot of benefits."

Some elders also sighed: "This time the Li family is really destined to be born. It would be fine if one Li Wanqing was born, but another Wang Jiu came out, which really makes this competition without any suspense."

Several elders agreed and carefully expressed their optimism of making fun of the pain after losing the championship, and began to exchange various technical details.

The Lu family has limited working capital and the research on marrow washing liquid cannot be stopped. Therefore, even though they know that the Qian family's plan is very beneficial to increase, it is difficult to participate in it in the shortage of funds. Of course, if there is too much capital, it will seriously affect the implementation of the Qian family's plan, which is another matter. Therefore, the elders communicated and started to think of external betting.

Seeing that the content of the meeting was basically confirmed, Lu Xin turned her head and looked at the elder brother who was almost wandering around the world, and patted his shoulder with a wry smile.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Lu Fangru Meng woke up and shook his head: "What's the matter? If it doesn't matter, just do it. Use the minutes to sign and print them. I'll go into seclusion later."

Lu Xin knew that his elder brother was a man who was even more unresponsive than Li Fengyun. He threw everything to the elders group on weekdays. He just signed and sealed, and even wanted to throw the seal of the head of the family to Lu Xin for safekeeping.

In a normal meeting, Lu Xin would have just asked him to be a rubber stamp as Lu Fang said, but it was necessary to be safe. He coughed, and he forced Lu Fang's impatientness to hand over the organized meeting minutes and explained the causes and consequences of the matter.

"Brother, what do you think?" Lu Xin had already chuckled softly as he said that.

Because Lu Fang didn't look at the meeting minutes carefully, he glanced and put it aside.

It can be seen that he did not take the Qingyun Competition to heart at all.

According to past experience, no matter how big the matter is, as long as the elders who participated in the meeting have different opinions, the elder brother would only wave his hand and say whatever he wanted, and then impatiently sign and end the meeting.

However, this time, the situation was a little different from Lu Xin's expectations.

Lu Fang didn't speak for a long time, which kept the conference room silent for a long time, so long that everyone noticed something abnormal and became a little nervous.

After a long time, Lu Fang frowned and stared at Lu Xin with a creepy look, then glanced around: "What are you guys doing!?"

After Lu Fang said this, many elders in the conference room were stunned, and Lu Xin was even more shocked and puzzled: "Brother, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Fang sneered, "Ha, what's wrong with me? I want to ask you what's wrong with you! Look at the meeting minutes you wrote yourself, what are the key words? Expenses, losses, affordability, what's the big deal!"

Facing the puzzled eyes, Lu Fang groaned and said, "I'll ask you, is the golden paint in the pillars in this conference room the blue gold shattered from Tiangong Academy?"

The elders looked at each other, and then an elder who was in charge of the internal service of the Lu family compound said: "Go back to home, the blue gold fragments in Tiangongyuan are too luxurious. We have almost never used them. Now we use imperial copper lacquer. That one, the overall effect is only 100% or 20%, but the price is only one-tenth of the blue gold fragments."

"Oh, one tenth." Lu Fang nodded and picked up the teacup at his hand, "Is the tribute tea at our family meeting a fairy robe?"

The Interior Elder smiled bitterly: "The immortal robe... Even in the past, I could only occasionally supply a few Supreme Elders of the family to drink with you during festivals. Recently, the family's funds have been tight and have been cut off for a long time. If you think this batch of tea is not as good as the taste, we can find a way to replace it."

Lu Fang refused to comment and said, "It is said that a lot of money for the disciples' examples have been deducted."

Several elders here suddenly became uncomfortable: "That, he did not directly deduct the money for the case, but just reduced some excessive benefits."

Lu Xin added: "Of course, it is not so direct and rough. Instead, it allows the disciples to regain the eight ancestral teachings left by the Lu family when they developed Qingyun with the Li family two thousand years ago, carry out activities to revive excellent traditional culture, and encourage everyone to live a hard and simple life..."

"What a hard and simple thing." Lu Fang snorted and said, "No blue and gold pieces, no fairy robe, no various subsidies and benefits, and it advocates hard and simple thing. It seems that I am not attending the Qian family's meeting."

"ah?"

"Since it's not a meeting of the Qian family, why is the minutes written in the meeting the same as the Qian family?" Lu Fang said, throwing the minutes directly, flying all over the sky like a scattered flower of a celestial girl.

"I haven't been in charge for a long time, because I think you guys are smarter than me and good at managing the family! I have nothing to do except practice, so I only care about my own affairs, and you can do whatever you want. But now, when has our Lu family become as obsessed with money trivial as those nouveau riche? What is Qingyun Competition for you? Is it a good opportunity to get rich? Is it a good day to take advantage of the situation? Using these dozens of pages of meeting minutes, I am planning to take advantage of the other family, and see if you can do it!"

Lu Fang rarely comes out of seclusion, but after these words, everyone present felt a little ashamed.

"Brother, we just..."

"No need to be just." Lu Fang waved his hand and interrupted Qian Jing's defense. "Even if I didn't participate much before, I can guess what you want to say. You just want to say that since you can't win the championship, you will settle for the second best, right?"

Lu Xin was stunned and nodded: "Yes, since the champion is hopeless, it's better to make plans early..."

"Why is there no hope?!" Lu Fang interrupted sternly, "There is more than a month before the main competition! There is even one and a half months before the finals, how do you know that there is no hope of winning the championship? A month and a half ago, you were still discussing how Fang Chen should deal with Qian Ye. Later, Li Wanqing was born, and Wang Jiu later. There have been so many changes in just over a month. Which one was right? Then why did you determine that after a month and a half, our Lu family still had no chance?"

"This..." Lu Xin pondered for a moment and said, "It's true that such a thing cannot be determined, but..."

"But what? When Lu Huang won the championship 20 years ago, who did you expect that the Lu family would win two consecutive championships? 10 years ago, who did you expect that the masters of the three major families would be eliminated by a casual cultivator Li Tingshu? Then, tell me now that you have expected that the Lu family will have no hope of winning the championship this time. Don't you think it's ridiculous!"

Lu Xin had to shake her head and said, "At least there is little hope, look at it rationally..."

"There is little hope, so it's better to withdraw from the truth than to reason? Hahaha!" Lu Fang said, laughing in a hurry, "Don't you think rationality has become your excuse and fig leaf?"

Lu Xin lowered his head, didn't speak for a long time, and did not argue with his elder brother.

"I know you are not convinced. I usually ignore family affairs. Now you have worked hard to figure out a rational plan, but I belittle it so worthless." Lu Fang said, waved his hand, and the plan of the girl scattering flowers gathered again.

"So if you don't want to trouble, I can continue to be my hand-off manager. I can sign this minutes now and let you do the stop loss with the Qian family. You can pretend that you didn't hear anything I just said."

After saying that, Lu Fang sighed: "Our Lu family mentioned the rise strategy of the Lu family's division in an internal meeting thousands of years ago. The ancestors ambitioned to set many grand blueprints, starting with the division of the family, continued to develop over hundreds or even thousands of years, and finally counterattacked the family and replaced it. Now, a thousand years have passed, I don't know who really believes that the blueprint of the ancestors can be realized."

The conference room was quiet.

Lu Fang said: "I believe it."

"I have no other strengths. In terms of my ability to cultivate immortals, I can't compare to Lu Yin and Lu Huang's two brothers, or even Lu Xin, you are only a little stronger than Xin'er. In terms of business skills, everyone here is far better than me. I can sit on the throne of the head of the family, nothing else, just because I have a good father, and I have the strongest strength in the Lu family's courtyard. And my strength is of course not based on my bad talent, nor is it supported by the gradually exhausted wealth of the Lu family."

"I am a person, there is only one thing that I am proud of in my life, that is, I am willing to believe in miracles and devote all my money to it. Since I broke through the wind barrier, every step on the road to immortality was to fight against the heavens. When I was in seclusion, I walked through the gates of hell to win one percent and one ten thousand possible. Then, I have come all the way to the present."

"But it would be boring if I was the only one doing the dream of family rise."
