James's words became the last straw to defeat the camel. The carriage with one or two words was quiet.
Yang Xiaotian's silence also made James realize that what he said just now is true. But it is not appropriate to say it now. What's more, they are friends now. But there is a layer of boundary between them and their true friends.
"I was just joking. Don't take it too seriously." James dry smile twice, but next to Yang Xiaotian, but did not give any response. On the way after that, James also began to look for a few other topics. But Yang Xiaotian's mood, has been completely destroyed, not to mention, next to see Xiang porter.
No matter how good the mood is, when you think about the situation of the person you are going to see next, it will get worse in an instant.
The car sped all the way, and finally stopped in front of a building group that did not match Yang Xiaotian's impression of the status of the Rost family. Or, it's just a few tall buildings. Although the floor area is not small, just one of them is a luxury for ordinary people. But for the most famous family in the United States, the Rost family, after all, is a lot worse.
"This is where you live now?" Yang Xiaotian frowned and asked.
"I think you've heard the saying that wood is beautiful in the forest and the wind will destroy it?" To Yang Xiaotian's surprise, James said it in Chinese.
But the tone is very stiff, I think it is just the beginning of learning.
"The United States today is no longer the United States it used to be." James shook his head and said with a bitter smile“ Powerful as the original three chaebol families, under the planning of the U.S. government for decades, only a few months, it quickly degenerated into the existence that even ordinary people can't match. The rothers, though powerful, are more cautious. However, after enjoying the comfortable feeling that there is no restriction from big families, the U.S. government is absolutely not allowed to be in the territory, and there are big families that can compete with the government. It's not just the Rost family, but the rest of the family now have similar experiences. Luxury is nothing but a talisman
"If you want the family to continue to survive, it's not enjoyment, but forbearance. Joral is a good president and a strong executive president. His executive power is a good thing for ordinary people. But for big families, it's not. " James squinted not far away, where at least two cars were following him.
Although he is now the youngest major general in the United States, his actual power is inferior to that of his peers. It's just a little higher than the brigadier general.
Although the Rost family has declined, it is different from the three plutocratic families that were annexed by the U.S. government. The loss of the Rost family is only money and part of the industry. But the most important person, however, did not lose much.
And from the beginning of the family, until now. Over the past hundred years, the core existence of maintaining the operation of the family has always been the children of the clan. It's not the larger number of separated children.
Separated children can be replaced by recruiting ordinary people. Although the number of children who lost their families this time was large, many of them even had the ability to do so, which was no less than or even more than that of the children of the patriarchal family. For example, shampoo and so on
But at most, the Rost family is just a little broken. As long as enough time is given, the Rost family can rise again.
But the U.S. government does not want to see the rise of the Rost family again!
So the actions of the ZTE family need to continue, but they need to be carried out in secret. Once the action is a little bit bigger, it will disturb the US government. In the future, it may not be like before, but just as a backstage controller.
Once the U.S. government takes the initiative, the three chaebol families that have been completely destroyed are the best examples.
"What about people?" Although he knows that what James said is true, Yang Xiaotian also knows it. It's not good that one knows too much. The fire at the gate of the city affects the fish in the pond. Sometimes the so-called innocent people may be just because they are too close to the fire.
Yang Xiaotian doesn't want to know or even listen to what James is going to say.
"This way." Yang Xiaotian showed no interest, James did not go on. We have known each other for several years. James is familiar with the character of Yang Xiaotian. Yang Xiaotian doesn't like people playing tricks on him. He trusts his friends very much. He won't care about the little jokes between friends.
But once a person is no longer his friend, Yang Xiaotian will keep an eye on his words and deeds. Now James for Yang Xiaotian, between acquaintances and friends.
Even to some extent, it's not as good as acquaintances.
Just because James has helped Yang Xiaotian a lot, so if James has something to help, as long as it can be completed, Yang Xiaotian will not refuse - of course, to give certain benefits.
"Little patriarch." Although James has announced his withdrawal from the race for the next patriarch, Landry is still the patriarch of the Rost family. As Landry's most powerful son, and now James's position in the military. This is the little clan leader. No one will feel it wrong to shout it out.
"Open the door." James nodded and motioned to the man to open the door.
"This... It's dirty inside." The man's face changed, and then stammered.
"Go down and accept the punishment yourself. Don't let me say it again." James murmured.
"Little clan leader, spare your life, little clan leader, spare your life!" The person in charge of the guard is naturally a member of the Rost family. As the children of the separated family have been wiped out, some of the things that were originally in the charge of the separated family can only be handed over to the children of the families who are not valued in the family and whose abilities are not good.
From a superior son of the patriarchal clan, he is now treated the same way as the original son of the separated clan. Many of the clan's children, whose status dropped suddenly, naturally threw their anger on the culprit, xiangporter.
Although James knew about it, he could only warn but not punish. On the one hand, because of James's concession and his current status, everyone has decided not to execute shampoot according to the clan rules. But in the final analysis, shampoot is still the main cause of the unprecedented loss of the family.
As long as they don't kill shanport, they don't break the agreement. Although James has a high prestige in the clan, he is not the heir of the clan leader after all. They will respect him, but they won't be too afraid.
This is the inside story of a big family. Even if they are just ordinary family members, they don't need to fear any unfair treatment. Even James, it's just a punishment for these clandestine shampoos.
"Five whip." James was silent for a moment, then murmured.
"Thank you, little patriarch." The man breathed a sigh of relief and then turned away.
"Five whip? I'm afraid there won't be a whip that really works, will there? " Yang Xiaotian sneered.
"Since you know, is there any difference in the quantity?" James said with a wry smile“ No matter how many whips I say, the people who are executing know that I punished him for cleaning up shampoos. I'm afraid none of them will fall on that man. In this case, I said too much, in addition to let that person's heart hate me, there will be no other effect. And if I say less, it's symbolic, and the person in charge of execution is symbolic. The results are the same, but the minds of those who are punished will be very different. "
"The people of the big family are really terrified." Yang Xiaotian shook his head and then drank softly“ Well, open the door. I'm ready. "
"I hope you are well prepared." James shook his head and slowly opened the door.
The door is completely closed, and one of the high-rise buildings is dedicated to holding important prisoners. But now, the only person who can be called an important family prisoner is shampoot.
When the door was closed, it was OK. At the moment of opening, a rotten stench came to my face.
"Well..." Yang Xiaotian's eyebrows were instantly tightly wrinkled together, but his face didn't change much.
As a doctor, it is necessary to face a variety of patients, as well as a variety of treatment sites. Just like in Alberta not long ago, Yang Xiaotian once treated an infected patient next to the fertilizer pool. There is no way. This patient is a dustman who cleans up excrement. In order to live, he has to work even if he is sick.
Compared with the chemical fertilizer pool, the smell of the room is much milder.
"I've warned them several times, but they still won't let him go." James shook his head helplessly.
Although he is now a hot member of the clan, everyone knows that. James, who has retired from the race for patriarch, can only become a powerful foreign aid at most.
Yes, now James can only be regarded as an outsider who can help the Rost family.
When Landry leaves his position as patriarch, the person who can be made a minor patriarch is no longer James. As a person who demands the release of prisoners who have played an almost devastating role in the safety of his family, if James's identity is not enough, even if he does not rely on his family, he can not be afraid of more than 99% of the people in the United States. But in the Rosta family, he was an outsider after all.
Unless it's the people who want to join the army, James is just a senior military officer. The military has always prohibited too much close contact with the people. In any country, this kind of conditioning exists.
