This protagonist is really good

Bai Zha was shocked when Lu Tianhao said that he wanted to make the Bai family the fifth family. It was very obvious that Lu Tianhao wanted to annex their Bai family.

Bai Zha was very reluctant.

The Bai family was indeed not as good as those thousand-year-old families, but it was not something that could be manipulated at will.

If the Bai family was sold out by him and became a vassal of the Lu family, Bai Zha would not be willing.

Lu Tianhao heard Bai Zha's direct and pale description and shook his head, "No, no, Master Bai, you misunderstood. I want to help the Bai family become a family."

Bai Zha didn't believe a word of Lu Tianhao's words.

At this time, Lu Tianhao raised the corner of his mouth, showing a devilish smile, and knocked the tea boat with his teacup, "Besides, do you have any reason to refuse me?"

'Is there a reason to refuse? '

These words were like carvings, piercing Bai Zha's heart!

Does he have a reason to refuse Lu Tianhao?

No! There is no way!

Compared to the conditions offered by Lu Tianhao, the remaining possible choices are even more unacceptable to Bai Zha.

Either he would watch the Bai family being torn apart by other families and shattered.

Or he would marry Bai Xiuxiu to a wealthy family and merge the Bai family into the wealthy family.

There are only these two choices.

Want others to help the Bai family?

Business has always been about adding insult to injury, not helping in times of trouble.

On the contrary, Lu Tianhao's proposal did make it impossible for him to keep the Bai family, or to say that he could not completely keep the Bai family but could keep the Bai family in name.

At least in name, the Bai family is still in his hands, instead of being torn apart or merged.

In any case, this is the best choice for the Bai family.

The reason why Lu Tianhao is the choice to become the fifth family is because Bai Zha is least likely to refuse this choice.

Compared to the resources Bai Zha has at hand, Lu Tianhao's conditions for Bai Zha are the best choice.

The military strategy says: surround three sides and leave one side open.

Leaving the Bai family with nominal autonomy is the net that Lu Tianhao pulled out.

Otherwise, Lu Tianhao's conditions are the same as others, and he doesn't give the Bai family any chance to choose. The Bai family will disintegrate at most, and everyone will work in vain.

Lu Tianhao didn't force Bai Zha to choose immediately, but waited quietly. He knew that Bai Zha was caught in a fierce ideological struggle at this time, but he was more inclined to agree.

Because there was no choice.

Bai Xiuxiu sat aside and wanted to say something. She opened her mouth but closed it again. She knew that this was not the place for her to speak and she had no place to speak. She could only watch quietly.

The air seemed to be frozen. No one spoke, no one moved, and even the sound of breathing became very faint.

Ten minutes later, Bai Zha's originally pale and sick face looked more like a dead bone in a tomb, as if the skin was attached to the bones, without any internal tissue.

Bai Zha opened his mouth at first, but no sound came out. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Master Lu, the Bai family is willing to become the fifth family in Linhai."

Lu Tianhao smiled slightly, "The Lu family welcomes the Bai family to join at any time."

After that, Lu Tianhao stood up and said, "Then I won't stay here. Please come to the Lu Building tomorrow to talk about the Bai family becoming a family."

Lu Tianhao turned to Bai Xiuxiu and said, "Xiuxiu, the tea you brew is delicious."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master Lu." Bai Xiuxiu lowered her head with a hint of shyness on her face.

Lu Tianhao straightened the wrinkles on his clothes, "Master Bai, then I'll take my leave first."

"Master Lu, take care!"

Lu Tianhao walked out of the private room and turned a corner to see Zhao Yang waiting here, "Get something to eat, I'm hungry."

"Okay!"

The next morning, Lu Tianhao pushed open the door of Lu Wanqing's office.

"What a rare guest! This is your first time in my office." Lu Wanqing was about to scold the visitor, but when she looked up, she saw that it was Lu Tianhao, and a smile appeared on her face.

Lu Tianhao said with a coquettish expression, "Isn't it usually my sister who comes to see me? I don't have time to come."

"Then why did you come to see me this time?" Lu Wanqing asked.

"Didn't you say last time that Mu Jin and Shen Beibei from Qiantang were getting married? Now the time is almost up, and I'm here to say goodbye." Lu Tianhao said.

"They got married on October 15th, and it's only October 5th now." Lu Wanqing said this and her eyes turned, "Xiaohao, didn't you hear that you were going on a business trip with Xiaobai this time, so you wanted to go early and come back late?"

"What do you think?" Lu Tianhao hugged Lu Wanqing's waist.

"Then you have to be careful." Lu Wanqing raised her head and looked at Lu Tianhao.

"What are you careful about!”

“Be careful that Xiaobai squeezes you dry!” Lu Wanqing made a joke before asking formally, “When are you going to Qiantang?”

“Tomorrow.” Lu Tianhao thought for a moment and said, “So I’m here today to do some handover work.”

“You mean the Bai family’s business, right?” Lu Wanqing asked back.

“How did you know?” Lu Tianhao was a little curious.

“Last night, the Bai family had already called out to those families that were still eroding the Bai family’s foundation, saying that they wanted to become the fifth family in Linhai. Now it is estimated that all of Linhai knows that the Bai family is going to be annexed by us.” Lu Wanqing let go of Lu Tianhao and held onto the table, smiling at Lu Tianhao, “Is this a deal between you and the Bai family, or a deal between you and Bai Xiuxiu? I heard that she came to you yesterday morning.”

“Of course it’s a deal with the Bai family. I don’t have any thoughts about Bai Xiuxiu.” Lu Tianhao promised.

“I didn’t ask you to promise. I was saying that it’s a bargain, so why not take advantage of it. ”

“......”

In a rental house in Qiantang, a young man in his twenties with messy hair, work clothes on the upper body, jeans on the lower body, and a thin face suddenly woke up, gasping for breath, as if he had just held his breath in the water for a long time.

“I’m not dead! Where is this!”

The man only had a room of about 15 square meters.

The room was very shabby inside, the white wall putty had turned yellow, the ground was full of cigarette butts, and there were shoe prints on the wall.

The only furniture in the room was a broken wooden bed that creaked whenever I turned over, and a storage box was placed at the head of the bed.

This box was both a storage box for clothes and a bedside table.

The lid of the box was piled with cigarette boxes, ashtrays, and half-drunk beer bottles.

The man recognized that this was the room he lived in when he was in his twenties.

The man’s eyes burst into a light of surprise, and he said in disbelief, “Isn’t I going through the heavenly tribulation? How did I come back here? Could it be that I failed to go through the tribulation and was reborn! "

Thinking of this, the man suddenly jumped up from the bed and said, "No, the spiritual energy is about to revive, I must prepare!"
