Ning Ze gritted his teeth and made the report.
Bang! Young clan leader Ning Xiaoren was so angry that he picked up the inkstone on the desk and smashed it out.
The inkstone hit Ning Ze's forehead, causing him to bleed immediately.
Ning Ze didn't dare to wipe it. His knees softened and he fell to the ground, crying, "Young Clan Leader, it's not that I didn't try hard. I really tried my best, but that young guest wouldn't listen!"
"My ability is so inadequate that I really cannot complete such a task."
"Young Patriarch, you think too highly of me. You have grossly overestimated me. I simply do not have the confidence and ability to complete such a task."
Ning Ze didn't dare to tell anyone about the three ghosts of the Huang family. It was all his own decision.
He had wanted to give up this mission a long time ago. Now that the situation had become so bad, he simply gave up, admitted that he couldn't do it, and frankly admitted that he couldn't do this mission!
"You, you, you!" The young patriarch's fingers were shaking with anger, and for a moment he was speechless to Ning Ze who was playing tricks on him.
He leaned back in his chair, panting for a long time, and then waved his hand: "You can't even do such a simple task! Well, I'll let someone else do it. Get out! Just looking at your useless appearance, it gives me a headache."
Ning Ze hurriedly took his leave, but when he reached the door, the young patriarch called him again.
“Wait!”
Ning Ze's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and saluted: "Young Patriarch, what do you want?"
The young patriarch slowed down his tone and said, "I have seen the list of candidates for this exam, Ning Zhuo is also here."
"He ranked 31st this time. As his uncle, what do you have to say?"
Ning Ze smiled bitterly: "Speaking of Xiaozhu, I am also deeply distressed, Young Clan Leader."
"The child has grown up and feels that he has grown stronger. He had a quarrel with my husband and me after the exam yesterday."
"Alas, maybe it's because Xiaozhu lost his parents when he was young and we didn't do enough, which led to his strange temper and withdrawn personality. He is very stubborn and doesn't want to use backdoors or let us use our connections because it would bring shame to him."
The young patriarch's eyes fixed: "Hmm?"
"Ning Ze, you know very well: Ning Zhuo's father, Ning Zhong, who is also your biological brother, is my savior. I promised him and his wife that I would take good care of Ning Zhuo and help him practice well."
"Children are ignorant, are you still ignorant?"
Ning Ze hurriedly bowed and said, "Young Patriarch, I understand what you mean. I will go back and persuade Ning Zhuo to change his mind."
"Well!" The young clan leader waved his hand and issued an ultimatum, "If you can't handle this little thing well, you will no longer be qualified to be in charge of purchasing!"
Ning Ze felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart and returned home with a gloomy face.
When Ning Zhuo's aunt Wang Lan saw him, she immediately exclaimed, "Husband, how are you injured?!"
"Of course it was the young patriarch who beat him." Ning Ze sighed.
The eldest aunt said in a hateful voice: "This Ning Xiaoren is really something! If he had the ability, he would go and recruit young ladies himself. What's the use of being able to order his subordinates around?"
While complaining, the aunt gently applied medicine to the wound on Ning Ze's forehead.
The pain from the wound made Ning Ze's mouth twitch. He snorted coldly and said, "Fortunately... I finally took the opportunity to get rid of this hot potato."
"But Ning Xiaoren has something else to tell me to do."
"Oh, it's just the bad things that happened to me!"
Ning Ze briefly explained it.
After hearing this, the eldest aunt raised her eyebrows, like a cat with its fur standing on end: "What? Do we really have to spend money to help him get into the family business?"
"No, I don't agree!"
"We have raised him for so many years. It's not easy. Do we have to spend money now?"
The uncle sighed and said, "He lives in the school, has no tuition fees, and only has a little living expenses, which is nothing at all."
"Besides, his mother left a sum of money before she died."
My aunt yelled, "Don't you understand? This money is ours!"
"Back then, when Ning Zhuo's mother was lying on the hospital bed, she held my hand and gave me the money."
"You were there at the time, and several other elders were also there."
"Ning Zhuo's mother said it clearly. This money is not for Ning Zhuo's child support, but a thank you gift to us!"
"This money should be ours, and we can use it however we want."
The uncle sneered: "That's exactly why we can't treat Xiaozhu unfairly."
"After all, I am his uncle. He ranked 31st in the exam this time. It would be unreasonable for me not to help."

The eldest aunt gritted her teeth and raised her eyebrows, but she disagreed: "If you want to pay such a large sum of money, you might as well kill me."
"This troublesome little bastard, and the greedy Ning Xiaoren, both deserve to die!"
"Boss, can't you see it? Ning Xiaoren specifically asked you to do this because he wanted you to give him a gift and use his connections to arrange for Ning Zhuo to join the family business."
"Don't you know what kind of person this guy is and what he's thinking?"
"He is narrow-minded and ungrateful. He may make excuses to forget the promise he made yesterday."
"In the past, we thought that having such a relationship would make things easier. But in the end, when we asked him for help, he either shirked the responsibility or asked for money."
"In order to find you a purchasing manager position, we asked the young clan leader for help. How much did he ask us for? It was three times what others asked!"
"Now, he wants to use this Ning Zhuo incident to blackmail us again."
"Haha, if he really cared about the life-saving grace, why has he never cared about Ning Zhuo once in the past ten years? If he really wanted to repay the favor, he would have made an effort to arrange for Xiao Zhuo to join the family business. He is the young patriarch."
"Hypocrisy, so hypocritical!"
The eldest uncle sighed, "Ah, do you think I don't understand? His meaning is very clear. I didn't do a good job this time. If I don't take the opportunity to please him and give him gifts, he will deprive me of my position as manager!"
The eldest aunt was incredulous: "Boss, are you just going to give in like this? Let him blackmail my family?"
"You have a son."
"Ji'er also needs to practice, and he also needs resources for practice. What can we give him? Even the cakes in the Golden Kitchen can't satisfy him."
The uncle's face darkened and he shouted, "Bullshit!"
"That golden silk jade dew cake, even if you are a steward, you can't eat it as a snack."
"Don't worry, let me think about this matter carefully."
Ning Ze was full of resistance to the idea of using money to find connections and get Ning Zhuo into the family business.
Compared with his wife Wang Lan, he was not concerned about money, but about his own face.
Ning Zhuo had a falling out with the couple and had a very stubborn temper. On this basis, Ning Ze was the one who rushed to find a good place for him. Is this what an elder should do?
This is obviously a servant.
