Chapter 1213 Four funerals and a wedding (2)
If you have made a request, it is equivalent to having already made a move. After that, it depends on how the other party will make a move. Of course, Lu Xi feels that the possibility of the other party finally compromise with him will definitely be greater. You must know that the more vested interests, the more a ruling class that has existed for too long and has begun to decay, the more they cherish the bottles and jars in their hands, and naturally the less they dare to turn over the table. When you threaten to turn over the table, as long as it does not really touch their bottom limit, they will always compromise with you, even though they know that this is just a noose that is locking their neck little by little, but as long as they are not trapped when they are still or are still in trouble, everything can be negotiated.
Of course, the premise is that you really have the ability to turn the table up. Otherwise, even a little concession will never be given, and you will even gain a lot of effort.
The reason why Master Russell has not been able to get a bargain in front of the clan for so long is probably because he doesn't understand this? Of course, the most critical issue is that he is not himself, and there is no force that can really make the clans feel dangerous.
Well, so, the biggest benefit of being a thief for so many years is this? Lu Xi thought. In essence, Master Russell was ruined by being too honest! It should be true.
I hope that his younger generations will not continue like this. They will reshape a country from top to bottom through reform, without losing their integrity and becoming a bad guy a little bit. After coming out of Master Russell's office, he was still sighing for the other party, so the eyes of Brother Alantis were already very subtle.
"It's not me, Brother Alan, even if you are secretary, you must have the spirit of going there even if you are not able to do dirty work for the boss! Show out a little evil spirit and make the nobles afraid of you. From now on, someone will listen to your words! What is the political world? How can you be brave!"
Those who rely on their courage to play in politics have long since grown grass on their graves. Mr. Alantis Nassis, the great disciple and chief official secretary of Master Russell, probably thought so? So, the impeccable and gentle "girlfriendly smile" couldn't help but show a helpless and bitter smile.
"I also want to show my courage, but there is no way. If I haven't seen blood, I will not have evil spirits. Besides, I know that I am not a genius like magic or martial arts. Maybe I will be destined to be an ordinary civil servant in my life, right?" He smiled helplessly.
"Who said that an excellent politician must have seen a genius of blood or a magical and martial arts practice? His courage is not cultivated by killing people on the battlefield. The favorite heads of state of the federal people, Linden and Franx, ranked second and third, are also literati. They have never been to the battlefield, nor have they heard of any very powerful magician." Lu Xi raised his fist: "So, in the final analysis, you still have to be brave and courageous! Brother Alan! If you really don't understand, find a time nearby and let me teach you seriously!"
"Yes, yes, spirit is of course very important..." He also imitated Lu Xi and raised his fist. Of course, rather than really listening, it would be better to say that he was barely dealing with it, and then said with a helpless expression: "If you want to have a small gathering, it must be tomorrow night. You have also seen that the teacher officially participated in the election, but the work of the Military Affairs Department has not been put down at all, or it is more responsible than before. As his government secretary, I can't leave at all."
"I know, you are not only a secretary now, but also serve as the leader of the Master Russell campaign working group, plus the director of the Foreign Liaison Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs. This is really hard for those who can do it!" Lu Xi smiled and said, "Sure enough, talents are all made like this."
"They are all working together to deal with journalists, congressmen, public opinion representatives, and so they do it together." He smiled and shook his head: "Compared to your life and death on the battlefield, how can I be considered a tempering?"
"Well, I'm sure I smelled the sour smell." Lu Xi couldn't help but smile and patted the other person's shoulder: "It seems that I have been wasting too long in the center of Neosfia's power world. Brother Alan, the outstanding young man with a sunny and elegant sunny and elegant, has also fallen into depravity! I think in order to save the average value of the federal youth, it is indeed necessary to let you attend our real party of the sun at eight or nine o'clock!"
He pondered for a moment, then looked at the other person with a smile, and kept looking at Arantis had already started to restlessly, then said: "In addition, have you concealed some very important situations? For example, someone's lifelong affairs or something?"
This time, Alantis really couldn't sit still, so he stood up helplessly and said, "It doesn't make any sense even if this kind of thing is said? Moreover, it's the case now. Even if everything is settled, it will take until next year, and the big matter here will be settled... Then again, who leaked the secret for you!"
"Master Russell is Master Russell. You are you. Career and personal life, especially emotional creatures, should not conflict. It is precisely because of this situation that you should tell the world upright that you are a winner in both career and love, and you are worthy of envy, jealousy and hated." Lu Xi continued to pat the other person's shoulder vigorously and smiled: "No matter what, Brother Alan, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow night, and please be sure to bring the bride with you at that time."
"So, even if you want to get married, it will be next year. Now you will be your fiancée at most. Wait, I'm asking, who leaked the secret?"
"Master Russell hopes you can relax. Don't worry, Brother Alan, at this time, we have done everything we should do and can do, and then we just depend on the choice of fate."
"Lu Xi... You, or our country and the whole world, have experienced such painful loss. I am showing this happiness so stupidly. Will it appear..."
"Happiness is my own, what does it have to do with the country and the world?" Lu Xi interrupted the other party again: "What does it have to do with my loss? To put it pretentiously, if I really don't want to cry all day because of the elders' departure, they would laugh at me in heaven. Let me tell you, last time, the day after I finished my mother's funeral, I went to eat a whole piece of grilled lamb leg alone, and there were ten skewers of beef, ten skewers of plate tendons, cold lamb belly, a plate of red oil shredded cucumber, and twenty bottles of beer. That would be a great pleasure! Eat a large piece of meat and drink a big bowl, and live happier than anyone else. This is the best way to comfort the elders in the heavenly spirit!"
No matter how you look at it, it seems like you are using alcohol to relieve your sorrows or eating to relieve your sorrows! I have heard of this kind of thing.
"So, if you really stand on the standpoint of a friend and worry about my current state, then bring the bride here tomorrow and everyone will gather together and have fun. Well, okay, that's what you decided so happily!"
Lu Xi waved his hand to say goodbye, and never gave Alantis a chance to refuse. The other party could only watch his back leave.
"Fun? Happiness? Alas... the sadness hidden with this attitude is the most painful!" Alan sighed to himself, and began to think about how to persuade the other party to let go tomorrow... However, although he was very confident in his eloquence and talent, he really didn't see enough in front of himself, a clever child.
"Sure enough, I can only ask my wife for help!"
Such a party was already thought of when Lu Xi arrived at Elatichal. Now, this period may be the only relaxing moment in a long time. He really wanted to have a little gathering with his friends in Elatichal without any intention. Of course, considering that since Teacher Orusero and Dad Tifario left, all the friends have to look at him with pity and regret from time to time, as if he was hospice care for a patient, this made him feel subtly unhappy.
It's time to prove to everyone that I've actually come out of that shadow! Well, that's right.
The party was held at 6 o'clock the next night, and the meeting was held on time. The place I chose was not a luxurious restaurant. Lu Xi believed that if he reported his name, any restaurant in Elichar would now provide him with free orders and top-notch services. However, if he really did this, he had to cheer up and deal with the "scenes" and had to show his precious business smile to all kinds of messy guys. Lu Xi said that he was very busy recently, but he did not have that American time meeting place, of course, Lu Xi's residence in Elichar, got the butterfly manor from his first friend Carol Rossudit.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen each other for more than a year. I don't know if that guy Carol is still the popular rich second-generation gangster. The kind of aura that exudes the aura that I am Kaizi and I am a second-generation, and then someone will be put on a sack and dragged into the alley at night and beaten to death from the edge of the city and thrown into the sea of clouds.
Wow, I'm dead and I'm so swearing!
"Who, who will die without a complete corpse! I am now the chief commander of the Second Federation Army. I have 1,500 burly men and 200 winged scouts, and I also serve as the second seat of the combat mage. Well, I am still the two-star combat mage in the alliance! But the promising elite guard officer! What does it mean to exude Kaizi and the second generation aura! What does it mean to be a rich second generation little gangster! Now, ordinary gangsters can only escape when I get glared at me! Why am I thrown into the sea of clouds by these guys! Even if I are the second generation of those real noble families, now... well, forget it."
"Yes, so who are you? What do you want to appear in my house without any brains?" Lu hoped that this young man who appeared outside the gate of his home, wearing a navy blue uniform of an officer, was a heroic and handsome young man, and a delicate and charming dark elf girl who was surrounded by a handsome smile, delicate and charming dark elf girl. He exuded the disgusting aura of a winner in life, and said coldly with his eyes narrowed.
"Who is the real winner in life? The real winner in life is pretending to be a loser with a stern face. Will your conscience hurt? Are you not tired when you come to this kind of joke every time? Are you really not tired? Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we give you more and more dividends every year, but we just can't get your conscience back. That's right?"
"...Oh, I just sigh that I was right. You are the first person to come every time I eat free! Tsk... I've become a major in the army! The federal personnel appointment and removal system has never been understood. Is the future of the army and the country really okay?"
"A officer who survived from Heiman City will be granted the special rank as long as he is a magician... By the way, you, a 21-year-old lieutenant general, are you qualified to say such sarcastic words?"
"Oh? The news is quite informative. You know the intention of not having a single word of the eight characters? Sure enough, even a second-generation little gangster will mature after being in society for a long time. So, the captain and you are just two stars, don't you salute the magistrate and Lieutenant General?"
"...Tsk, I've become a big shot, and anyone will become more and more disgusting. Damn, give me the feeling of being so heart-pounding when I first saw your face!"
"I'll call a young man, your values and spirit need to be reshaped well! I treat you as a brother, and you actually want to... ah! As a magician, I have the obligation to establish the correct values of young members of the alliance! Just as I was just like a training ground was opened in the basement of the Butterfly Mansion, and the first visitor was welcomed. Isn't this God's will?"
"Will the basement of Butterfly Mansion be opened up to where it can be? Maybe it cannot support the confrontation that senior students from the Central Magic Academy can do their best, right?"
"Yes, so I used the space anchor to pull a small subplane fragment over and made a little connection... Well, just a little space operation is enough. Although the support time will not be too long, I can still hold on to a battle."
"...Damn, I only realized today that the gap between mortals and geniuses is sometimes not just not even jealous, but not even a feeling of despair. I feel that all this is a fait accompli, and there is nothing to be mournful about. Well, that's the feeling, right?"
Yes! So it is not surprising that the civilization history of this world has been tens of thousands of years or the parallel between feudal royal and noble society and slavery. So, when will you mortals understand the spirit of "there has never been a savior"?
Captain Carol Rosudit didn't know that he was despised by Lu Xi again, but even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously, right? After Lu Xi came to the Federation, he even made his first peer friend after traveling through time, and then he looked at himself up and down. He didn't retreat at all because he was the youngest general and the youngest magician in the history of the Federation, and then slowly smiled. He walked forward, hugged him hard, and patted the latter's back hard, and then quickly retreated with a grin.
Of course, this is why Lu Xi directly put a steel skin on himself. Captain Carol Roshudit, who has been promoted, has not seen him for a year. His skin has been tanned and strong. He is really more and more like a capable and heroic young elite officer. However, he is still an excellent combat mage and has no ability to smash steel with his fists.
It would definitely feel uncomfortable to hit the steel plate with your hand. So Carol could only rub his wrists and look at Lu Xi with a sad and angry look.
On the other side, Lu Xi couldn't help laughing.
No matter what happened, no matter whether I had become a general, a magician, or an existence that made all the wealthy families in the Federation silent and dared not provoke at will, this young gangster born in a rich second generation still regarded him as a friend. Maybe it was the most satisfying thing that he encountered after returning to the Federation?
