Lu Zhiye looked at the melancholy in Lu Mingde's eyes, and a hint of sarcasm flashed through his mind.
If the same situation happened a few decades ago, Lu Mingde would definitely stand idly by.
Lu Mingde's voice gradually became quieter, and he looked fixedly at Lu Zhiye, who had his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.
The moment Lu Zhiye raised his eyes, a flash of sarcasm passed through his eyes. Although he concealed it very well, Lu Mingde, who had lived for so many years, could still see it clearly.
Lu Mingde was like a rooster, with his neck strangled tightly.
His mouth trembled for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word.
Lu Zhiye straightened his sleeves and said straight to the point: "Old Chief, I know your concerns.
Although I didn't experience my grandfather's era, I can hear a thing or two from other people.
I will not judge whether it is right or wrong, but the recipe is in my hands now. I am the only one left in our family's generation.
No matter what the outcome is, the children are still young and I don’t want these things to involve them.
So, I have other plans for Fangzi."
Lu Mingde's heart trembled, and he asked in a trembling voice: "You, what are your plans..."
Lu Zhiye took out an envelope from his arms: "All the ancient recipes left by my grandfather are in this envelope.
I have come all the way to the northwest this time, also to submit this prescription.
I don't want this recipe to disrupt my peaceful life anymore.
You always say that everything has been arranged, but there is no wall that is impenetrable, and who can accurately control people's hearts?
Just like my grandfather, he did so many good deeds, but what was his fate in the end?
In order to erase the shame, some people intensified the persecution.
How many children have my grandparents raised?
In the end, how many of those kids reached out for help?
So, human hearts are the most difficult to predict. I have understood this principle thoroughly since my grandparents passed away. "
The calmness in his tone deeply hurt Lu Mingde's heart.
This almost included him in the criticism.
But what else could he do? Lu Mingde could only endure it.
Lu Mingde's eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. Finally, he said in a heavy voice: "Actually, your idea is right.
People my age are almost always sick.
Although those who should leave have almost all left.
But there are still several old guys alive, wouldn't they be tempted to take advantage of Fang Zi?"
Lu Mingde is absolutely right about this point.
People who are tortured by illness all year round cannot give up their rights when they get old and want to live even more.
They will think of some crooked ways, just like the emperors in ancient times, who worked hard to govern the country when they were young, and when they got old, they became obsessed with making elixirs and pursuing immortality.
These people in high positions are no exception.
Lu Mingde stood up and paced around the small room with his hands behind his back.
He was preparing to come up with a foolproof plan that would allow Lu Zhiye to hand over the prescription without bringing trouble upon himself.
Lu Zhiye's move was too bold.
Just as Lu Mingde was about to speak, he heard Lu Zhiye's low voice say, "I have nothing to be afraid of now. I am ready to use these prescriptions to negotiate terms with others."
Lu Mingde's cloudy old eyes widened: "You, you......"
He didn't know whether to say Lu Zhiye was bold or stupid.
"Do you know who those people are? Which of the younger generations in the family doesn't hold a high position?
In a word, your current project is stuck, so why are you negotiating with them?
Isn't this just inviting a wolf into the house?
The few old guys who are still alive, although they did not take action at the beginning, are just watching coldly.
They don't have much friendship in their hearts. If they force you to take these prescriptions, what can you do?"
Lu Mingde originally thought that he could either use himself or Old Tan to hand over the prescription, since they were old anyway.
But now Lu Zhiye said that he would hand it in personally.
This approach is too radical.
Lu Zhiye laughed sarcastically: "My grandfather is a kind person, he doesn't want to be a bad person, but I am different from him.
Besides, the situation is different now. The country was in turmoil at the beginning. Even if you are in a high position today, you may fall into the quagmire tomorrow.
In this situation, everyone is trying to protect themselves.
Now, the period of turmoil has passed and we are in a period of great development.
Those who should retire should retire, and those who should push their children forward should push them forward.
What do they care about? They care about face.
Besides, I’m not going to confront these old guys head-on.
What I need to do is to get in touch with their family members. They are so old, and the younger generations want to fight for power and benefits. What I need to do in front of the elderly is to be filial.
How many troubles will it solve for them once I come up with this prescription?
Besides, there are 5 prescriptions in total, and I am cooperating with different families, which will be of great benefit to them.
The relationship between them has been further improved, all thanks to the exchange of prescriptions.
I just want a small portion of what they have, and these people are not stupid, so why would they not agree?"
Lu Mingde's approach is too conservative. Should he hand it over to the country?
Haha, some people will just think that you should do this.
It would be better to exchange this thing to another family. As for how Fang Zi and the others deal with it, that is not something Lu Zhiye can control.
If we throw this hot potato away, distract their attention, and move forward on our own, things will be much smoother.
The most important thing is that these prescriptions are all rubbings, and the real ancient prescriptions are still kept in his space.
