Chapter 214 The Marriage of the Stoke Family ([-])

"No!" Bamar stubbornly interrupted Su Lun's speech, and also interrupted a group of men next to him who wanted to help.

"People should teach a noble how to maintain their land and people." William, who is the oldest and the highest in the family besides Bamar, turned more than half of his head with a gray beard and squinted at Bama. you.

"My lord duke, keeping your stubbornness will only put us all in trouble!" Sir Leslie next to William looked at Bamar, wondering if everyone's interests are the best for a family. Is it important, how could this Bamar be so selfish?

Duke Bamar directly bypassed the two people who were talking, lowered his head and asked Reba next to him, "Finance officer, I want to ask, how long can we last at this rate of loss?"

Reba straightened his neckline and looked around at the 17 people present. Now everyone's eyes were focused on him, waiting for him to announce the final date of the family.

"My lord duke, according to my current calculations, if we look at our family's expenses and the losses of many companies, and according to the increasingly low turnover of Goddess Heart, we can reach this time two months at most, and the family will Putting in the last penny, and then waiting for the heart of the goddess who can't make ends meet, the final bankruptcy and bankruptcy. This is the beginning of the decline of our family."

"Don't hesitate any longer, my lord duke, since Su Lun has already proposed, we should marry the upstart Smith family as soon as possible. We need the dowry assistance of their thirty companies. As long as we have these thirty companies Companies with good performance, we can drag our more than 40 heavy burdens, and reduce the burden for the heart of the goddess." The surrounding nobles have petitioned.

"Do we have to rely on other people's assistance to live!? Our ancestors are the famous Stoke family. Our family has stepped forward several times during the most dangerous period of the Queen of the Eagle Empire. Our family is The eternal backbone of the Eagle Empire, and of course I don’t want the family to become withered in my generation, but what I want to tell all the jazz present is, what is the reason why you are the pillars of the family today?”

Bamar came out and walked behind everyone, "Is it because you have to rely on the help of others, and you don't have the backbone of our pride? Or is it because all the setbacks in reality wiped out your original ambitions?" Already!?"

"I remember when I was little, when you were my dear uncles, you would whisper in my ear 'You will be a brave and strong leader of the family!'"

"Not now! Bamar, your stubbornness will destroy us!" Sir Westin of the Stoke family stood up and said.

"Weakness, cowardice, and evasion of problems will make us perish!" Bamar turned his head and looked at Westin, "My dear uncle, why are you not the first one when the family has such an economic crisis?" Thinking of checking whether there is a problem with our management and operation, but thinking of relying on a woman in exchange for help from others, making our family live on this vast Manchester land as if we need alms from others!? "

"Our family was awarded the Violet Medal of Nobility by the Eagle Queen. We, the Stoke family, represent the most powerful force in the Eagle Empire. We are representatives of chivalry and warriors forged with iron and blood. Therefore, please All the elders of the Stoker family here, please give me time, it only takes four months, I will find out the reasons for the losses of almost all of our businesses, and make improvements, if this cannot reverse our economic lifeline, then I can only accept my fate, Su Lun will marry the Smith family, and our family will receive considerable assistance."

"So, Bamar. What are you going to do?" William looked at Bamar, his tone revealing majesty.

Bamar looked around at everyone present, "First of all, I need the chairmen of your fifteen groups to reduce all the expenses of our family, no expensive golf tournament sponsorship, give up your team funds, and the huge expenses of luxury clubs , All high-consumption life must be reduced from now on, 'open source and reduce expenditure', this is a Chinese proverb, similarly, it is also the guarantee for our current family to re-distribute vitality, you must restrain the flowers of your children, wives, and servants Only by selling it can we guarantee the time for our family to persist!"

The crowd suddenly became commotion.

"I don't agree! I don't agree!" One of the elders stood up, "If I don't want to play golf, I can't do it at all. If I don't practice for a day, the old bones of my body will be cracked."

"Old rascal!" Bamar scolded secretly, "Uncle Stan, I'm not saying that I don't want you to play golf, but I'm stopping your sponsorship of millions of eagle pounds for golf venues every time. It needs to be done under the praise of a lot of people!"

Bamar's words were right, making Stan's face flush immediately, he grinned his dry mouth, and muttered to himself pretending to be stupid.

"You mean we can't provide funds to maintain our own team?" Sir Leslie had an exaggerated expression, "I still count on my Charger team to make money for me in this competition!"

"Give up your team that is always at the bottom of the list!" Bamar looked at Lelis, "Even a hundred snails can run faster than them! Of course, this is quoted from the last time your team competed Newspapers, and what I'm trying to say is, if I were a sponsor, I wouldn't put my money into a team that keeps losing races, so, your huge spending team doesn't do you any favors, ditch them Come on, Uncle Lelis, I don't want any unhappiness between us because of this."

Leiris was speechless and wanted to refute, but just opened his mouth, then lowered his head again.

"I hope your ambition can support your promise, and I hope your courage can lead our Stoke family out of the predicament!" Westin stood up, took the high hat and walking stick from the servant's hand, "Now our The meeting should be over. If our leader, the Duke, has no better suggestions, I will go back. After all, I may not even be able to take a car now. I hope to be able to walk home after the sun goes down. in!"

"Su Lun. I owe you mother and daughter too much. It is already difficult to make up for it, so I can only try my best to save the family business within four months." Bamar walked in the artificial On the lake, next to him is the beautiful Su Lun, with spiral flaxen hair hovering on his chest, and the clearest galaxy in his eyes.

Bamar's leather boots and Su Lun's purple shoes made a sound of tuk-tuk on the wooden lattice bridge.

"The elders of the family at the meeting today, I have to take care of their will. 50.00% of the shares of the family business belong to them. If they unite, they can easily impeach me from the position of leader of the family business, so , Su Lun, this is the limit of what father can do." Bamar was very sad, and it was a cruel and helpless choice to sacrifice his daughter's happiness to save the interests of a family.

"Father, don't worry, you don't need to have any burdens. Wang Zi is very good. I have been with him since I was a child, and I have developed a relationship with him. It will be a matter of course to become his wife in the future."

"My Su Lun, you are as beautiful and kind as your mother." Bamar walked on the artificial lake, the sun had already set, and the last afterglow shone on the bushes, casting a shimmering reflection.

"I can see that when you go out this time, your heart no longer belongs to this place, nor does it belong to Manchester. Your thoughts have drifted away to that mysterious and beautiful ancient oriental country."

Su Lun looked at his father. Under the old face, there was a bright eye. It was these eyes with infinite courage that he inherited to himself at the same time.

"Actually, I don't need you to tell me that our Su Lun already has a boyfriend." Bamar walked on the bridge and sat down on an edge.

Su Lun never imagined that this father who always had a cold and serious face in his normal life, who was always like an iron-blooded leader, would have such a side today at this time, as if since his mother passed away, I can no longer see such a gentle side of my father.

Father patted the wooden board beside him and motioned Su Lun to sit down.

Su Lun threaded her skirt and sat beside her father.

"Although you have never mentioned your boy to me, I can see his shadow in your eyes, hehe, I really want to know, what kind of boy is that?" The father looked into the distance , the black helicopter on the tarmac shone with the light of Heozawa in the setting sun, and the elongated shadow extended into the artificial lake, and then the underwater spotlights of the artificial lake began to light up at the same time, and the whole lake became hazy. The brilliance, like a bright crystal exuding dreamy colors, brings people into a fairy tale world.

The brilliance reflected in Su Zixuan's eyes made her smile blurry, "He is a very ordinary child, an ordinary family, and an ordinary life, but he has a different side, his courage, his The smile he shows in the sun is his uniqueness, and he has many shortcomings, but those are what fascinate me."

"Su Lun. The simplest happiness is the most extravagant thing for our family. Alas, maybe I shouldn't let you go to that country, meet your boy, but want Like this, let your happiness bear the rise and fall of our family."

"It doesn't matter, father, it doesn't matter." Su Lun squeezed his fingers, "He has abandoned me. So it doesn't matter. I can marry Wang Zi."

Forgive me, father, this is the second time I lied to you.It's just that I don't want you to feel guilty.

Bamar looked at his daughter in surprise, and after seeing the tears running down her cheeks, he hugged her tightly beside him, "It's okay, it's okay, my Zixuan. I know Wang Zi, the young man is Noble, but he doesn't have the habit of being a dude, if you marry him, you won't be wronged."

"En." Su Lun leaned against his father, watching the distant sun gradually slipping below the horizon, and some clouds entangled in the red sun, until finally the gorgeous color disappeared.
