Master Du was hit on the head with a sack. Fortunately, the person who did it did not dare to beat him to death and saved a life. It happened in the evening of the banquet. Chen Guanlou got the news and rushed to Du Fuzi's house as soon as possible. The doctor was applying medicine to Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Du screamed, asking the doctor to be gentle. "It's not serious. You have to bear with it." The doctor was an acquaintance and spoke politely. Chen Guanlou hurriedly stepped forward, "How is it? Is the injury serious? Does it matter?" The doctor told him that it was a skin injury but not a bone. He might have symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting afterwards. He didn't need to worry too much. He would be fine after a few days of rest. This is a concussion! Chen Guanlou's anger level soared and he asked Master Du, "Did you see the person who did it?"
Du Fuzi shook his head, "I went home after drinking and took a shortcut through an alley. Suddenly a sack was put over my head. Then I was hit with several sticks. Then those people ran away." "More than one person?" Du Fuzi nodded, "At least two." "Are the injuries on your body serious?" Du Fuzi rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's okay, they're all skin injuries." Chen Guanlou pursed his lips and kept a straight face, looking very gloomy. Du Fuzi in turn comforted him, "I'm fine, I'll just rest for a few days. Brother Lou, you must not do anything random. Besides, you don't know who did it, so you can't just accuse people randomly." "I can roughly guess who did it. Master, please take good care of yourself and I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." "What are you going to do? I told you I'm fine." Master Du was afraid that Chen Guanlou would mess up. The two had known each other for many years, and he didn't know exactly how capable Chen Guanlou was, but he had already guessed that Chen Guanlou had many secrets in private. These secrets were the guarantee that nothing happened to the two of them during their antique business for so many years. The huge profits from antique trading, coupled with Chen Guanlou's supply channels, have long attracted the envy and jealousy of countless people. For so many years, the two of them have been safe and sound. Although it was because of the Hou Mansion's signboard, Chen Guanlou must have taken a lot of preventive measures in private and used necessary means to deter some people who were ready to take action. Master Du never asked, he just kept his suspicions in his heart. Now that he was being put into a sack, after thinking about it, it must have been caused by the antique trade. It's today again, and everyone can guess that it was someone from the Chen family who did it. Master Du didn't want Chen Guanlou and his fellow clan members to fall out because of him. Originally, his reputation in the clan was not very good. Many people scolded Chen Guanlou for eating alone and said he had a surly temperament. If his clan members fall out again, Chen Guanlou's situation in the clan will become even more difficult. These days, no one can survive independently from the clan. This is a world of the weak and the strong. The clan oppresses the clansmen, but at the same time it also protects the clansmen from being bullied by outsiders. If Chen Guanlou breaks away from the clan, the wolves, tigers and leopards outside will definitely swarm up. Even though Chen Guanlou is really very capable, it is difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists. After all, his personal power is limited. Maybe he won't even be able to keep his job in Tianlao, and all the business and making big money will be in vain. They have been going smoothly these years, and to be fair, they must have benefited from the Marquis Mansion and the Chen family to a certain extent. Chen Guanlou was able to win the Tianlao antiques, calligraphy and painting business because his surname was Chen, the same Chen from the Hou Mansion. If his surname was not Chen, Zhang, Wang, or Ma, let's see which prison officer would take advantage of him.
Therefore, Master Du tried his best to persuade Chen Guanlou, "My injury is not serious. It will heal in a few days. The important thing is that harmony brings wealth." Chen Guanlou smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Master, you were beaten with a sack, and you even said that being friendly would make you rich. You have never provoked anyone in normal times." "I understand what you want to say. But right now..." Du Fuzi hesitated, "Your reputation is more important. In fact, I have planned to persuade you, but if it doesn't work, you can recruit someone to join the gang. If the Hou Mansion can see it, Go ahead and cooperate with the Hou Mansion. But this way, our profits will definitely be reduced, and at least our safety will be guaranteed." "I don't plan to bring anyone else into my gang. Master, don't worry, I do things in a measured way. After all these years, you still don't believe me, when did I ever do anything random?" He comes with a plan. Master Du sighed, "Your biggest problem is that you are stubborn, you don't listen to advice, and you have bigger ideas than anyone else. That's all, that's all. In short, don't mess around, and don't take revenge for me. My injury is not a problem." I just took this opportunity to rest for a few days. When you have free time, hang out with brothers in the clan who you can talk to. Once you have friendship, everyone will help you speak up when something happens. Don't think that if you don't cause trouble, trouble won't come to your door. Clan is sometimes a place where people can be reasonable, and sometimes it is a place where one person can bully others due to their overwhelming power. You are weak and weak, so don't force yourself. When it's time to be soft, be soft. Take a small loss and save yourself from shame. We have to take a long-term view, so it doesn't hurt to let him score three points. " Chen Guanlou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, what kind of person do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who rushes in and takes action regardless of the situation?" Du Fuzi snorted, "You still deny it. Today at the Marquis Mansion banquet, you kicked Chen Guanqing away as soon as you disagreed, and everyone saw it. When we were eating, you were the center of the conversation, and everyone said you were there He has been in Tianlao for a long time and has a bad temper. He often beats people. It is not appropriate to bring the Tianlao method to the clan. " "That's because Chen Guanqing's face was ugly and disgusting, so I kicked him away. Later, so many people came to me to discuss antique trading. Do you think I got angry and hit anyone? You are all prejudiced." "The current problem is that prejudice has already existed. The image of you in everyone's mind is that you are a person with a bad temper, and you will fight if you disagree. You decide what to do. If you mess around, it will be even more detrimental to your reputation. If there is anything in the clan in the future, you will definitely suffer. You have to find a way to reverse this situation." "I'm quite kind." "You are only kind to people you are familiar with." Master Du pointed out the core of the problem. This made the clan members particularly dissatisfied. Chen Guanlou would rather cooperate with people of other surnames and let them make money, but he was unwilling to bring his own brothers to make money. In the eyes of many people, he is a traitor, does not know what is good for him, and needs to be taught a lesson. Chen Guanlou was influenced by his previous life and had no concept of clan, so he seemed out of place in the Chen clan. Everyone talked about the clan and brought brothers around. Only Chen Guanlou, you can hardly hear him mention his clan or brothers. It all depends on who he likes. He will help anyone he likes to become rich. If he doesn't like anyone, he will not like even his own brothers, let alone his clan brothers. Fortunately, he has no brothers, so there is no way to verify this. Under the influence of alcohol, everyone vented their dissatisfaction at the banquet, and his performance was also cold. There was no embarrassment or shame of being accused. It's too much. Is his surname Chen? Does he care about his family?
