Chapter 257 - Preaching
"Why does he need my advice? He was so anxious to give our Fan family's things to the Yang family. As soon as he saw the girl from the Yang family, he was so fascinated that he didn't know which way was which. Humph..."
Mr. Fan was still speaking with anger, and even Mrs. Fan's attempts to coax him were ineffective.
Fan Rui finally understood why Mr. Fan treated him like that. After all, he was still dissatisfied with him for being too nice to Yang Xi.
Knowing where the problem lies, Fan Rui is no longer so angry, but he just doesn't understand. Even as he speaks, there is a sense of dissatisfaction that he is not aware of:
"Grandpa, I don't understand. You clearly didn't object to my liking Yang Xi before, and you didn't stop me from pursuing her. Why do you insist on stopping me from liking her now? Besides, you said it's not good to anger Qin Bu Ru. Didn't I not bring up Qin Bu Ru's wife when I was clearing Han Wen Ya's name?"
Mrs. Fan spoke up for her grandson: "That's right, Xiao Rui is so obedient. He didn't do it even though you told him not to."
"Yeah, I'll slap you once, and then tell you I won't slap you a second time. Just don't bother with me, okay?" Mr. Fan said angrily:
"Did you go to dinner with that girl from the Yang family last night? Did you enjoy it? I didn't stop you before because I thought you had brains and that the girl from the Yang family was okay. But look at you now. Do you even remember your last name and what you're doing? The girl from the Yang family made any request, and you agreed to everything. She hasn't even married you yet, and you're like this. If she does, what will happen?"
"Grandpa, I didn't. Chasing a girl requires sacrifice."
"My contribution doesn't mean you have to give away your family property. Guess what will happen to you if you anger Qin Bu Ru this time and I don't intervene?" Old Master Fan sighed.
"Compared to Qin Buliu and his gang, you're just a flower in a greenhouse. They usually look good-tempered because they just don't like to play with outsiders, but if they get ruthless, you're no match at all. Don't be unconvinced. Qin Buliu was able to make a comeback and create a foundation that no one can shake. You don't have that ability, right?"
Mr. Fan almost gave Fan Ruishu a very earnest advice:
"Sun Quanzhang of the Sun family built his own career, no doubt about that. Lin Xicheng of the Lin family, his medical skills are even praised by Master Niu, a national master. No one would bother to offend him, but for the sake of their own lives, they have to give him some respect. Even if he has a cold face every day, everyone still praises his good relationships."
Mrs. Fan wanted to refute and praise her grandson, but after hearing what Mr. Fan said, she opened her mouth and closed it again, unable to praise him anymore.
Mr. Fan continued:
"Lu Fuchen of the Lu family is basically the most outstanding of the younger generation. He went to the military for a few years and I heard that he has completely taken over the Lu family's hidden power. After returning, he took control of the Lu family's business in just one month. Who dares to provoke him now?"
This Fan Rui is truly beyond words. I heard that someone previously refused to accept his fate and wanted to oppose Lu Fuchen, but now he's been abandoned by his family and sent to Africa. They say he's going to start a new company, but everyone knows he's actually going to suffer.
However, Fan Rui had not forgotten the other two: "What about Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun?"
"Do you think it's easy to become a top star in the entertainment industry, without any scandals or black spots, and to win the love of the vast majority of people? Zou Lianxun of the Zou family is so cunning that you can't even begin to match him. How many of those people's affairs are in charge of him and that Sun Quanzhang?"
Mr. Fan continued his analysis:
"And there's Qian Bowen. He went abroad to learn advanced technology, and after returning, he took over the Qian family. Look at how much Qian's sales have increased in the past few months. The older generation of Qian's parasites are hard to deal with for the sake of their reputation, so he doesn't even need the family to say anything, he just goes on stage and takes care of them. His father always complains that his son doesn't give him face, but isn't he just bragging about his son's ability? Otherwise, how could Qian Bowen have been able to stay in power until now?"
Fan Rui had been unconvinced before, but after Mr. Fan finished speaking, he fell silent.
He wanted to laugh sarcastically and say that these people were not as powerful as his grandfather said, but he couldn't say it. In the end, he could only find one sentence:
"Zou Lianxun relies on his brothers and family. If it weren't for the support of his family company, I don't believe he could have become a top star."
"The Yang family also has a company, so why didn't Yang Xi become a top star before? And Yang Wei's cousin has been in the entertainment industry for five years and still hasn't become a top star?"
Mr. Fan was very disappointed:
"You're still not convinced. I gave Weibo to you because I thought you were reasonably clear-headed and could accurately assess your own interests. But simply assessing your own interests isn't enough. When faced with major issues, you also need to be able to distinguish right from wrong and prioritize. Most importantly, you need to be on the right side."
Fan Rui remained silent. Old Master Fan looked at him and sneered:
"Let me tell you this. Just look at the Yang family's unscrupulous and petty greed. Even if you offended Yang Wei last night, even if Old Man Yang found out about the Weibo post today, Yang Xi would bow down to you. Their daughter isn't as valuable as they say. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
Fan Rui was still unconvinced by what Old Master Fan said, but Zou Lianxun had already called Qin Buzhu to claim credit.
Qin Buzhu was driving and directly clicked on the hands-free mode. Shi Feiye held his phone and listened curiously with his head tilted. Zou Lianxun on the other end of the phone was yelling:
"Second brother, are you awake yet? The news about Yang Wei has leaked out, hahahaha. That kid must be scrambling right now, either coaxing his wife or scolding his mistress. He might even curse Fan Rui a few times. Tsk tsk, Fan Rui is so unlucky. It's probably going to be hard for him to win the beauty. But we can only blame him for being so stupid. He actually dared to whitewash Han Wenya like that, treating me like I was dead. Fourth brother was so angry when he saw the message Han Wenya sent that he laughed. We've only been quiet for a short time, and Fan Rui dares to be so arrogant."
"Hello, hello, are you listening, second brother? Am I disturbing you and second sister-in-law?" After saying that, there was no response. Zou Lianxun put down his chopsticks, shook his phone, and muttered to himself, "Is the signal okay?"
Shi Feiye, who had been bending over the phone to greet Zou Lianxun, suddenly sat up straight. What did he mean by disturbing her and Qin Buru? There was nothing wrong between her and Qin Buru.
"I heard you. Well done." When Zou Lianxun was about to hang up, Qin Buzhu flattened the curve of his lips, turned the steering wheel, and finally replied.
On the other end of the phone, Zou Lianxun curled his lips. Needless to say, his second brother definitely didn't listen carefully. He drank a sip of milk:
"Second brother, are you dissatisfied? At least give us a definite answer instead of letting us guess. Forget about Fourth Brother. I understand you want to give him some advice, but I haven't done anything wrong recently. You don't have to torture me like this. I, your younger brother, didn't go to bed until the early hours of the morning last night. Besides, Yang Wei has been ruined like this. Yang Xi has no chance of marrying into the Fan family. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Nothing to be dissatisfied with." Qin Bulu said calmly.
He said he was not dissatisfied, but it was obvious that he was dissatisfied, otherwise he would not have said just this one sentence. How could Zou Lianxun not know Qin Buzhu's temper?
This second brother was hard to guess from the beginning, just like the third brother. Zou Lianxun could only spontaneously understand that Qin Buzhu still felt that their methods were too soft, so he made a promise:
"Brother, don't worry. We won't give Yang Wei any chance to turn things around. If all else fails, we'll give other entertainment companies a chance and shut down the Yang family. The higher-ups just want to see the entertainment industry not be monopolized. As for who challenges our family, they don't care."
The originally mysterious and serious news was spoken so carelessly by Zou Lianxun. Shi Feiye was shocked to find that he had heard something beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition.
Zou Lianxun muttered a few more words on the other end of the line, then thought he understood Qin Buzhu's attitude and quickly hung up.
"What do you want to ask?" Qin Buzhu casually pressed the button on the phone and looked forward, signaling Shi Feiye not to hesitate.
"If there really is a fight going on, wouldn't the higher-ups be bothered by Xiaoliu doing things so ostentatiously?"
"In China, as long as businesses don't involve monopoly or national interests, the government supports them. If Xiaoliu really has the ability to defeat the Yang family, it can only be attributed to the Yang family's own lack of strength, and it's just the survival of the fittest. Besides, if the Yang family falls, there are still the Wang family, the Zhao family, and so on. No one has ever been able to run all the businesses by themselves."
Shi Feiye listened thoughtfully. Qin Buzhu took the opportunity to look at her and thought that the way Shi Feiye tilted her head to think about the problem was very cute. He couldn't help but rub her head with one hand:
"Don't overthink it. Xiaoliu doesn't have that ability. If he joins forces with the fourth brother, it would be okay. By the way, this is also an opportunity for him to practice and learn well. Once he brings down the Yang family, Xiaoliu will be almost ready to become a master."
Shi Feiye suddenly realized:
"So, you're actually letting Xiaoliu learn and practice? I was saying it, how could such a simple matter be made so complicated? It's so complicated that I even doubt the state of the entertainment industry."
If an entertainment company were to be ruined at any moment, then the competition in the entertainment industry would be too cruel. Who could stand it?
Qin Buzhu smiled but said nothing, still looking precious. The competition in the entertainment industry was certainly cruel, but it wasn't just the entertainment industry itself. Ultimately, the entertainment industry was still a business, and the business world was like a battlefield. Not everyone could have exclusive deals like him, and do it in a way that left those above them speechless.
These matters cannot be explained in a few words. They also involve the struggle between the Zou and Yang families, the subsequent reshuffle of the cultural industry, and the future development situation that the Fan family will face. The complexity is beyond Shi Feiye's imagination.
There is never a shortage of good things to do in the business world, and the fun is yet to come in this one.
