Chapter 829: 829
Chu Xiongcheng's face turned pale as he said, "Are you forcing me? I'm a big steward, and I know what're personal properties and what're clan properties! Why are you being so unreasonable?"
That person continued to kneel in silence, and bowed his head down again, and said, "It's all my fault . I only plead my clan master to allow me to return back home . "
Chu Xiongcheng stared at him, his breath became heavier and heavier . Suddenly, he yelled, "If that's the case, why should I keep you any further!? If you want to go back home, I'll allow it!"
That person's face turned white and said, "Thank you, Clan Master Chu!" He had already corrected himself from saying 'Clan Master' to 'Clan Master Chu' . He was obviously admitting that he wasn't a member of the Chu clan anymore .
The masses changed colors on their faces . Another old man with a white beard said hurriedly, "Clan master, Steward Wu has long worked hard and carried out his duties responsibly . I hope that you can take back your words . "
Chu Xiongcheng couldn't suppress his rage any further and shouted, "He wanted to leave . What can I do?"
Everyone gazed at one another . A few people gritted their teeth and stood up at the same time, saying, "I also intend to return to my homeland . Clan master, please permit us!"
With these people taking the lead, other people also knelt down, "I'm old now and death is also coming nearer to us . I also hope for clan master to permit me to return to my homeland and spend the rest of my life there!"
Chu Xiongcheng's entire body shuddered furiously, bringing his beard to wave in the air . He was just about to yell: Leave, leave if you want to!
Chu Feilong had always been standing at one side . Suddenly, he stepped up and said aloud, "Everyone, please calm down . May I seek all of you to listen to my words?"
Everyone said, "Second master, please speak . "
Chu Feilong frowned and spoke, "Everyone is loyal to the clan and everything that you do is for the clan . Although your methods are a little too radical, you're after all doing so for the sake of Chu clan . I can understand this . But, isn't it unreasonable to be so intense? Is this the way all of you should conduct as subordinates?"
Chu Feilong looked grim and righteous . He said, "There's definitely a solution to every mistake made! What are the effects if you compel someone to do something? If everyone disperses from the clan now, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Chu clan, but this doesn't mean that everyone… can lead a better life, right?"
Everyone calmed down instantly . The chaotic situation just now became a bit still . Everyone seemed to be thinking carefully .
This fully illustrated the supreme power that Chu Feilong had in the Chu clan now .
"Then, by second master's perspective, how should this matter be resolved?" the elder with white beards seemed to be a bit unconvinced, and said, "It's right that this is the Chu clan's matter, and we rely on our attachments to the Chu clan for existence . Who doesn't want the clan that they've attached themselves on to be strong? To be regarded highly? But… clan master's perspective… really chilled us…"
Everyone sighed .
Chu Feilong was furious, "What are you saying? Our clan master's temper is indeed not good, but he isn't a bit bad-hearted! Besides, everyone has been here for so many years, don't you understand his temper? Why are you forcing him so hard?"
Everyone looked guilty, and lowered their heads .
Only then did Old Master Chu's heart feel more relieved .
But, at the next instant, everyone raised up their heads, and some said indignantly, "But, to allow the Chu clan to have such a huge wealth concentrated in the hands of one person, we're still… still a bit…"
Chu Feilong was instantly raged as he said, "That's my nephew's personal property! Besides, only he has this ability . If he's replaced by an average person, I'm afraid that he won't earn so much, and will instead have to lose money! There're so many medical centers in the Flat Mountain Ridge, but which center is on par with my nephew's? Why do you want to entangle yourselves in this kind of matter?"
"I'm not being unreasonable, but this sum of wealth is really huge! The entire clan has close to 20 000 people . Adding on external and ordinary members, it would be 30 000 . But in a year, we only earn a bit more than 1 000 purple crystals! But now, this one person earns at least 0 . 1 million purple crystals annually… Second master, this… this matter, surely you don't mean that…"
Chu Feilong snorted and said, "Then… in your opinion, what should be done?"
"Take it back to the clan!" everyone said in unison .
Chu Feilong raged and said, "Are you taking this for granted? If it's taken back, who is to replace Chu Yang to manage the medical center? To be the doctor? Who has abilities on par with Chu Yang? If my nephew is angry and gives up his business… He has just returned back and doesn't know much about the clan, and yet he has to suffer from such coercion… Do you bear to do this to him? What's more, won't this instead become a huge loss for the clan?"
Everyone gazed at one another . The elder with white beard took a step forward and said, "Second master, I've got an idea . "
"Say," Chu Feilong said deeply .
"Actually, no matter what Young Master Chu Yang says, he's, after all, a member of the Chu clan . This is an immutable fact! Since he's a member of the Chu clan, he has the responsibility and obligation to seek benefits for the clan, but not to swallow his huge profits himself!"
The elder said eloquently, "While the second master thought about this aspect, I also considered this . I think that the medical center can be taken back by the clan, and Young Master Chu will still remain as the chief doctor . But in order to be fair, the clan can allow Tenghu and Tengjiao, these two young masters, to assist Chu Yang in managing the medical center . After all, they're the grandsons of the clan master . Being too partial isn't good . "
