Catastrophe
Chapter 1245: corrosion
Lu Meng originally thought that he and Lu Tao were both victims of the family's interests.
Lu Meng wanted to build a career, but he was ill-fated and never got the chance to enter the military world.
Although his second brother Lu Tao is full of strategy, his pursuit is not to enter the military world.
But through the conversation at the moment, and Lu Tao's high-spirited appearance, Lu Meng suddenly became envious.
All the time, everything he pursued has been easily obtained by Lu Tao, and he has abolished the power of nine bulls and two tigers, and only mixed with a division commander, or a mercenary commander.
Previously, with his own efforts, Lu Meng could have Lu Linhuan transfer him to the Military Intelligence Department, which was already a huge improvement for him.
But when he arrived at the capital, there was a huge psychological gap.
The third-in-command of the Military Intelligence Department is really not worth mentioning in Daosui City, the capital of fierce generals like clouds and high-ranking officials like crucian carp.
For people who started from scratch, they may not be able to climb to the position of a regiment leader in their entire life.
But for Lu Meng, who came from a wealthy family, this position is too low.
Poorly low!
Especially after Lu Tianhe had a long talk with Lu Meng, Lu Meng felt even more pitiful.
In the past, he only wanted to change his life through his own efforts. In his opinion, relying on his family was a shortcut that only the weak would choose.
However, during his time in the army, after he really understood the current situation of the Lu family, he realized that he had always been naive and pitiful.
As Lu Tianhe said, the chaebols themselves are the game of the top group of people. If you want to make achievements in this circle, you must have a relationship with the chaebols. If you are not the chaebols themselves, you even have the qualifications to enter this circle. None, not to mention stepping into the upper echelons.
The appearance of Lu Tao made Lu Meng believe that people can be corrupted by power, and he even felt that even himself was gradually being corrupted.
After the two brothers talked about Lu Tao, Lu Tao suddenly asked: "Little Si, you have been transferred back to the capital to report your duties this time, so your next position must have changed, right? Father let you come to this banquet, which means that he has changed. Have you talked to him about your opinion?"
Although Lu Meng's relationship with Lu Tianhe is relatively tense, he is still relatively close to Lu Tao. Seeing him ask about this, he did not hide it: "My father told me that he wanted me to return to the family and help you."
Lu Tao did not comment on this, but handed over a cigarette: "What about you, what do you think?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Lu Meng lit the cigarette and took two sharp breaths: "Second brother, to tell you the truth, in fact, when I come back to report this time, even if I don't go through my father, I will take a step up and join the Military Intelligence Department. ."
"The Military Intelligence Department is mainly doing behind-the-scenes work. Although you wear military uniforms, all you do is intelligence work. It doesn't make much sense, and there are fewer opportunities for promotion. You have been a spy in Pei's for so many years. Haven't done enough yet?"
Lu Tao put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled at Lu Meng: "What did Dad say? If you can compromise, he will arrange a more powerful job for you, so that you can gain a firm foothold in the military world, but the conditions are limited. Just to be my foil?"
"How do you know?" Seeing that Lu Tao's words were exactly the same as Lu Tianhe, Lu Meng glanced at him unexpectedly: "Brother, shouldn't you and Dad brought this up? You did this to help me. ?"
"You have to be clear that my father is the head of our family. Although I am the most famous person in the family now, in my father's hands, I am just a chess piece. of."
Lu Tao smiled and shook his head: "The reason why I can guess is that when Dad talks to everyone in the family, it is almost always the same. It all revolves around me.
If I could go to the Northern Military Region, it would be like a big step forward, and our family has a very shallow foundation in the military world, and Dad was also afraid that if I plunged into the military world, there would be a lack of helpers around me, so these days, I have been They are all helping me to clear the relationship and pave the way, and many children of the family have been arranged into the military.
Although these children of the family entered the military world to serve me, but to be honest, my father does not believe them, and you and I are brothers. If the family really wants to devote resources, of course, they will be more inclined to their own people. Letting you enter the military world is the most reassuring choice for him. "
Lu Meng showed a self-deprecating smile: "So at the end of the day, I'm still a victim, right? If you want to go up, you have to make sacrifices, otherwise, let me fend for itself."
"I'd love to reassure you that things weren't what you thought, but I have to admit that you're right."
Lu Tao drank a glass of wine again: "Remember what I said to you? The noble family is cold-blooded and ruthless. The reason why you can't accept it is not because it feels unfair, but because we are a family. You feel that your father is unfair and that your brother has a better fate than you, occupying the best resources in the family.
And what I'm telling you right now is that you're right, there's nothing wrong with what you're thinking, because that's what it is! But what I want to tell you is that you can't change this, you can only choose to endure.
If you look at this from a third party's point of view, you'll think it's all normal, and you've been very lucky.
What we said is a bit harsher. At this moment, you are thinking about the choice your father gave you, and you are still a little dissatisfied, but have you ever thought about it? If Dad is talking about this to someone today, the other party may You don't even have a chance to think. Do you know how many people behind you are waiting to take your place? "
Lu Meng smiled and said, "You also said~lightnovelpub.net~ My background is destined to be different from other people. Maybe the request from Dad today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for others, but Is this a good opportunity for me?"
"People can't fight with their lives. You have already reached this point. What's the use of pity and self-pity?"
Lu Tao patted Lu Meng on the shoulder: "I know you're upset, but things have come to this point, it's pointless for us to discuss right and wrong, believe me, this time listen to Dad. , go to the Northern Military Region with me, when I take care of you, you will definitely have a bright future.
As for the nonsense such as foil, you don't have to listen to it at all. As long as you can gain a firm foothold in the northern military region, I don't need you to make any sacrifices for me. You just need to walk your own way. The only way to achieve your ambitions, what's there to struggle with? "
Lu Meng raised his eyebrows: "Whether I sacrifice, it doesn't seem to be what you said?"
"I went to the military area, it was my father's arrangement, but you have to know that my father is not a one-handed man. After arriving in the military area, it's what I said." Lu Tao stretched out his hand and touched Lu Meng's head: "He is My dad, you are my brother too! Let's go, it's dinner time!"
