Chapter 345 Rejection
Fan Jiannan came to the Tianji Pavilion and met Mr. Du and Po Jun.Although Mr. Du looked in good spirits, he was much thinner, and the white hair on his temples made him look several years older.It seems that what happened to King Marshall really hit him hard, and the cumbersome affairs of the Yishu Council, a huge organization, also made him tired enough.

"Jiannan, you handled the matter in the Middle East very well last time. To be honest, I didn't expect you to be able to solve this matter so quickly. I asked Wushu people to handle this matter. The original purpose was just to hope that you could contain it. Stay in King Marshall for a few days, and wait for me to come back and solve it myself. I didn't expect your performance to be called outstanding." Mr. Du said with a smile.

"It's just entrusted by someone, we just do our best, and luck is on our side." Fan Jiannan said flatly.

"You don't need to be modest, even Lin Ruogu is full of praise for you. You have done what he couldn't do." Mr. Du laughed loudly.

"I said Uncle, you are not staying in the United States, why did you come to Hong Kong? Did you come here specially to praise me?" Fan Jiannan raised his eyebrows and said.

"Of course not, I'm here to talk to you about something." Mr. Du was silent for a while, and seemed to have finally made up his mind, "Are you interested in joining the Yishu Council?"

"What? Join the Yishu Council?" Fan Jiannan was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"

Po Jun smiled and said, "Mr. Du means, please formally join the Yishu Council. You know, although the Yishu Council is nominally headed by four directors, there is one seat that has been vacant for many years. The first director has never participated in the management, and the real person in charge is actually only Mr. Du. Now with the matter of King Marshall, a group of backbones have been taken away, and we are short of manpower, very short."

Fan Jiannan laughed, "Isn't it? Could it be that you still want me to succeed King Marshall and get a director?"

Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "You're only half right. The position of King Marshall has been taken over by Po Jun. In fact, he handled it quite well and helped me a lot. I want you to take the long-term vacant position. That fourth director."

Fan Jiannan was stunned for a while and said, "You...you are not joking, are you?"

"No." Po Jun shook his head and said, "We also made the decision after careful research. Both Mr. Du and I think you can take this responsibility."

"Is there any advantage to being a director?" Fan Jiannan looked at him strangely and asked.

Mr. Du said solemnly, "You can get a lot of benefits. The council has developed to this day. Although it is only an international academic organization studying the Book of Changes in the eyes of outsiders, it has actually penetrated into various industries and all walks of life. So we can do a lot In fact, as long as you want everything, the Yishu Council will help you achieve it. But you must make a promise and be loyal forever.”

Fan Jiannan was silent for a while and said, "No."

"Why? I told you about the historical origin of the council last time. And do you know that once you become one of the four directors of the council, it means that your life has reached a new level. This It is a dream opportunity for many surgeons." Mr. Du persuaded.

"It is precisely because of this that I quit." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said.

"Tell me your reason." Mr. Du's expression was a little uncomfortable.

Fan Jiannan smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, I don't like the Yishu council. I can't be loyal to the council forever. In my opinion, the art council is a wrong deformity It is a product. It is just a small group formed by a small number of practitioners for their own benefit. I will never join such an organization, even if you are one of the leaders of this organization, uncle."

"You...how can you think so?" Mr. Du had a look of anger on his face.

"Don't be angry, just listen to me. The council is under the banner of serving the magicians, just to attract more magicians to join this organization. Then use these magicians to enter the high-level of various industries, forming a series of complete The profit chain of the operator, and then control various industries. Use the advantages of the magicians to compete unfairly, making you rich and powerful people. But all this is not what I want. So sorry, I don’t want to join. "Fan Jiannan said flatly.

"But everything we do is to make this world more reasonable." Po Jun frowned, "I admit that we represent the interests of a certain group, but this group belongs to all practitioners, not individuals. Yi The Arts Council does have a lot of wealth, and it also has a huge invisible influence, but all this is not for the individual, what we do is for the morality of the arts. As an artist, we should shoulder this responsibility."

"Morality? So you are like the Justice League in American cartoons? The dispute between you and King Marshall is nothing more than interests, but you insist on using morality as a cover, isn't it nonsense?" Fan Jiannan spread his palms and said. "When I say this, you may find it harsh. Let me put it another way. I'm just a small person. I just open a shop to make a living and do fortune-telling. I don't want to get involved in things like fighting for power and profit."

"Okay, I won't force it. But I want you to think about it. Sometimes you can see farther by standing taller." Mr. Du waved his hand.

"Uncle, do you know? My initial thought was not like this. I was very complacent at first. I thought that the power of a magician could see through life and change the laws of nature. It wasn't until the moment Wei Rushan died that I realized that no matter how brilliant the magic is, Sorcerers can't see through life, and we can't change the laws of nature. We are just using this law. We are just a group of people, and people have needs and desires. They will also argue over needs and desires, and the battle between magicians Scarier than ordinary people." Fan Jiannan shook his head.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Mr. Du said lightly.

"I want to say that I'm tired of fighting." Fan Jiannan said flatly, "This is one of the main reasons why I don't want to join the council. I know that you are gathering strength to deal with King Marshall and the Witchcraft Federation. But all of this It's meaningless, just like Wei Rushan, who fought for his whole life and finally died like a worthless dog. And the pain this dog caused to me and my father is so real."

"It seems that I can't convince you anymore. I regret that you are the second person in history to refuse to be a director. And your father is the first." Mr. Du sighed, "So the fourth director positions will remain vacant.”

"My father?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"Yes, many years ago, he was also recruited by the council, and he also refused. The two of you have such different personalities, it is unexpected that the decision is so unanimous." Mr. Du looked at Fan Jiannan and said silently for a while, "When you were suffering from schizophrenia, I once said, respect your choice. This sentence is still valid now. This time, I still respect your choice."

Po Jun was a little anxious, and said to Fan Jiannan in a low voice, "This is an opportunity, I really hope you can consider this suggestion carefully."

Fan Jiannan also knew that Po Jun and Mr. Du had good intentions, but he really didn't want to participate in the battle of Yishu Council.Just nodded and didn't speak.

Several people chatted for a while, and Mr. Du and Po Jun got up to leave.Fan Jiannan sent them outside, and it could be seen from their faces that both of them were somewhat disappointed with Fan Jiannan's decision.
