Chapter 239 The Sorrow of Durifin Davemarsh
It was late at night and there was a heavy rain falling from the sky, but the luxurious villa of the Durifen family was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
A banquet was being held in the spacious and bright hall, but the study was very quiet.
Dulifin Dawimarsh looked at his nephew Dulifin Daly with a serious face and said firmly: "Don't get involved in this matter. It's very complicated and you can't control it at all!"
Dulifen Daly had an expression of confusion on his face. He really couldn't understand why his uncle was so afraid of the Lan family.
"Uncle, I really don't understand why this is happening?" Dulifin Daly frowned and asked in confusion.
"We clearly have the opportunity to take a larger share of the profits, but now we have to hand over most of the profits to the Lan family, and we can only get such a small share of the profits."
There was obvious dissatisfaction and anger in his voice.
Durifen Dawima sighed helplessly. He knew that his nephew was young and energetic, but some things were not as simple as they seemed.
"My child, you are still too young. There are some things you don't understand."
The forces behind the Lan family are complicated and we can’t afford to offend them.”
Dulifin Dawimarsh explained to his nephew earnestly.
However, Dulifin Daly obviously could not accept such an answer. He believed that his family was already strong enough and there was no need to bow to anyone.
"Uncle, are we just going to let the Lan family bully us like this?"
"We should stand up and fight for what belongs to us!" Dulifin Daly clenched his fists, his eyes determined.
Durifan Daveymarsh shook his head, knowing that his nephew's idea was too naive.
"Child, you don't understand the rules of this world yet."
“Sometimes, giving in is not a sign of weakness, but a way of survival.”
"If we forcefully confront the Lan family, I'm afraid we will be the ones who suffer in the end."
Durifan Daly was silent for a moment. Although he was still unwilling in his heart, he gradually understood his uncle's difficulties.
"Okay, uncle, I'll listen to you."
"But I hope I'll have a chance to change this situation in the future." Dulifin Daly gritted his teeth, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Dulifin Dawimar nodded with satisfaction. He believed that his nephew would achieve something great in the future.
"Good boy, I believe you can do it."
"But until then, we have to keep a low profile and bide our time."
"I will take over all the cooperation with the Song family this time, you don't need to ask about it."
Dulifen Daly was still a little worried, "But uncle, if we do this, will other partners still trust us in the future?"
Durifen Dawimarsh had naturally considered these things and would explain them to other partners.
"You don't need to worry about these, I will communicate them in advance"
"Besides, the money invested by the Song family will eventually go into the treasury of the empire, and we can also sell a favor to the Lan family, so why not do it?"
——After the banquet——
Dulifin Davidmarsh was about to take a rest. He leaned back on the sofa tiredly and rubbed his temples.
His wife Alice Vasa was sorting boxes of dazzling jewelry, with greed gleaming in her eyes.
"Dear, the Song family sent someone to visit us today and gave me a lot of gifts!"
Alice Varsha said excitedly, showing off the expensive jewelry and looking at her husband expectantly.
Durifan Dawimarsh slowly opened his eyes and frowned when he saw the jewelry in his wife's hand.
He knew the intention behind these gifts.
"What do they want?" he asked, with a hint of resignation in his voice.
"They hope you can hand over the Madaraan New Port project to them." Alice Vasa replied with a smile, a smug gleam in her eyes.
"I've already promised them."
She said it lightly, but in fact her heart was already filled with joy.
Dulifen Dawimarsh had just put down his glasses. He looked at his wife and said seriously, "Return the things. The project belongs to the Lan family."
After hearing this, Alice Vasa's face instantly turned gloomy.
She widened her eyes and retorted in dissatisfaction: "Why should I give it back? This was given to me by someone!"
"Besides, we have been cooperating with the Lan family for so many years, and they have never given me such a valuable gift!"
"The Song family knows how to give gifts this time. We should give them the project!"
Alice Vasa became more and more excited as she spoke. She felt that she had been wronged and believed that the Song family's gift was a sign of respect and appreciation for her.
But the Lan family had never given her such treatment.
However, Durifan Dawimarsh remained unmoved. He insisted, "No, we can't change our minds just because of some gifts."
"This project was first negotiated by the Lan family, and we cannot break our promise."
Alice Vasa's expression became uglier and uglier. She shouted angrily, "Humph! You are always so stubborn!"
"Can't we consider the Song family? Their conditions are not bad!"
"Although the Song family is powerful, we have a long-term cooperative relationship with the Lan family and cannot betray them easily." Dulifen Dawima explained calmly.
"I don't care! I won't return the gifts anyway!" Alice Vasa said stubbornly. She held the jewelry boxes tightly, as if she was afraid that they would be taken away.
Durifen Dawima sighed helplessly. He knew his wife's character very well. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change her mind.
But he also understood that he could not destroy his cooperative relationship with the Lan family because of momentary greed.
"Okay, you can keep those gifts, but please remember that we cannot let this affect the project of the new port of Madaram," said Durifen Dawimarsh in a firm tone.
Alice Vasa nodded proudly. She finally got the answer she wanted.
She will continue to enjoy those precious gifts while also carefully handling her relationship with the Song family.
After all, she didn't want to lose this unexpected fortune.
However, the debate is not over.
Dulifin Dawimarsh knew that this incident would become a hidden danger and might cause more trouble.
But he could only compromise temporarily and wait for the opportunity to solve this problem.
My wife is a member of the royal family and I can't do anything to her.
Regarding this project, I can only explain it to the Song family when we meet.
We can't break up with them now. After all, the money invested by the Song family is not enough.
As the minister of Lamps, Durifan Dawimarsh worked very hard.
As the emperor's teacher and important minister, Durifan Dawima would not allow any mistakes to happen in his career.
The Lan family has helped Lamps so much. If they are angered, it will definitely shake the business foundation of the empire.
