If it was before, Su Mu would most likely think that this was a hara*sing call.
But now, Su Mu’s heart had a gut feeling – the reason why the cheque he gave could not be transferred from the bank might have something to do with this person who called!
“Hello.”
Su Mu picked up the phone.
“Excuse me, is this Cousin Su Mu?”
A slightly childish voice came from the other end of the phone.
Cousin?
Su Mu frowned slightly, since when did he have a cousin?
He hadn’t heard of it before.
“I’m Su Chen Ge.”
The voice on the other end of the phone introduced itself, “You may not have met me or even know me, but it doesn’t matter, because from now on, you and I are considered acquainted.” One second to remember to read the book //novelcone.com
“Su Chenge?”
Su Mu inexplicably disliked this person: “You just said you were my cousin, so you’re also from the Hidden Su Family?”
“Yes.”
Su Chen Ge smiled: “But I am different from you cousin, you are a direct descendant of the Su family, while I come from a branch line.”
At this, Su Mu did not immediately answer.
There was a very strange rule in the Hidden Su Family, the direct descendants were not told of their identity until their twentieth birthday, and needed to endure humiliation, undergo various tests, and eventually complete many strange family tasks, all of which they would have to pa*s before they could return to the family.
However, Su family members who come from a branch line do not have to do so.
The descendants of the Su family’s branch lineage were surrounded by good clothes and food, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as being clothed and fed.
Su Mu once asked his grandfather why there was such a bizarre rule.
Grandpa said that it was because the direct descendants of the Su family were the future pillars of the Su family.
Therefore, the direct descendants of the Su family were the group of people who absolutely could not have any problems.
If the direct descendants could not play the test, it would mean that they were just rotten wood rather than pillars, and could do nothing more than take on the task of carrying the whole family forward.
Therefore this group of people cannot return to the family and can only be reduced to ordinary people.
But the descendants of the clan are different.
The descendants of the clan are just some branches of the great tree that is the Hidden Su Family, and although they also have an influence on the Hidden Su Family, their influence is not as great.
So, allowing them to enjoy benefits from birth, despite the risk of making them losers who can do nothing, will, at the same time, give them a stronger family dependency.
A family must be cohesive.
Family dependency is one form of cohesion.
Although there is a price to pay for this, the Hidden Su Family, can fully afford to let a small number of descendants of the clan become waste.
The reason why it was said that it was only a small number of people who would become waste was because although the descendants of the Su family branch lived a luxurious life, the education they received was also an elite education.
Under this elite education, it was not even easy for you to become a waste.
This, then, was one of the reasons why the Hidden Su Family had been able to thrive for so long!
“Is cousin Su Mu curious as to why I called you?”
Su Chen Ge smiled lightly: “The direct descendants of the Su Family are not officially recognized by the family until they have completed all of their family tasks, and are not considered true Su family members. Therefore, it is also rare for the descendants of the branch line to know their contact information, let alone get in touch with them.”
“Just say what you have to say.” Su Mu’s voice grew cold, he guessed that Su Chen Ge’s fox tail that he was hiding behind was already wagging at the drop of a hat, so he didn’t bother to talk nonsense to Su Chen Ge anymore.
“Is cousin Su Mu’s time really so valuable that he is so impatient to even hear a few more words from me, his cousin?”
r /> Su Chen Ge choked out a taunt.
“Of course my time is valuable.”
Su Mu said in a cold voice.
“That was before, wasn’t it?”
Su Chen Ge smiled sarcastically, “In the past, cousin, your time was valuable, after all, you might have several billions of expenses or incoming money in a minute. But now ……”
The fact that your a*sets have been frozen and you can’t spend money should mean that you have no income coming in, right? After all, people in business are all about making money out of money, the more money you spend, the more money you will get back.”
“It’s really you who’s up to no good!”
Su Mu’s eyebrows were crossed and there was a cold glint in his eyes.
“What are you saying, cousin, why can’t I understand?”
Su Chenge said innocently.
“What exactly have you done to actually freeze my a*sets.” Su Mu asked in a cold voice.
“What kind of words are you talking about, cousin? I am your cousin, how could I let let your a*sets be frozen?”
Su Chen Ge continued to play innocent: “I was just expressing my views at the recent family proceedings.”
“I feel that the family seems to be too lenient towards certain first cousins, not only giving them human resources but also financial resources, causing certain first cousins to squander the family’s financial resources at will.”
“Now that the family is already experiencing some difficulties, it’s a bit disgraceful that certain direct descendants are still squandering the family’s resources in such a big way. Therefore, I suggest that the family be allowed to freeze the a*sets of these direct descendants and increase the difficulty of their tasks.”
Su Chen Ge smiled: “Cousin, if you say that the difficulty of the task has been increased, then don’t the direct descendants who are still able to complete the tasks of the family deserve to be recognised even more? The direct descendants who have grown through such a stormy time can also give more help to the family that is in distress, right?”
The corners of Su Chen Ge’s mouth lifted slightly: “Cousin, would you say that this suggestion I made is sensible and reasonable, and is it worthy of praise?”
At those words, Su Mu could not help but be furious.
However, he could not find a point to refute.
Because from the family’s perspective of Su Chen Ge’s proposal, it was indeed very correct.
“Cousin ah, you have to work hard, don’t be underestimated oh.”
Su Chen Ge gave a grim laugh: “Oh yes, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
“Why is it that I, a descendant of this branch, can participate in the family council? That is because, this one branch of our clan will soon cease to be just a branch. The family is considering incorporating this branch of ours into the full family. The family council at which I made the suggestion was discussing this matter.”
“Although the suggestion I made had nothing to do with the main discussion point of the family’s deliberations, the family head appreciated the suggestion I made, so it is likely that this branch of ours will become the family’s direct lineage because of this suggestion I made.”
Hearing these words, Su Mu’s heart grew more and more upset.
So Su Chen Ge was sacrificing the welfare of them, the descendants of the direct lineage, to make himself and the branch he was in whole?
“Cousin, why don’t you praise me?”
Su Chen Ge was selling a good story even though he had gotten a bargain.
Compliment you?
Cold light bloomed in Su Mu’s eyes.
He really wanted to hammer Su Chen Ge on his nose and make his nose crooked!
“Hey, cousin, the family head is calling me, so I’ll hang up now.”
Su Chen Ge said smugly, “Cousin do you want to say anything to the family head? Or else I’ll tell the house master that you think the difficulty level of the task is not enough, so he can give you a little more difficulty level?”
“Oops, the house master keeps pushing, so I’ll hang up now oh.”
Listening to the beeping sound of the phone hanging up at the other end, Su Mu’s face was an iron blue!
