Da Xiong smiled gratefully at Lin Weidong, then decided to go back and discuss it.
Da Xiong’s Yang family was a top-tier family in Chuannan City.
Generally speaking, they were not comparable to the Zhang family.
But the difference was not significant.
And Da Xiong was already the designated heir of the Yang family. He just needed to gain some experience in the Dragon Group because he was still young.
Once he returned, he could directly take over family affairs.
This would also make others more convinced of his leadership.
Logically, with Da Xiong’s background, he should have rejected Lin Weidong’s proposal outright.
After all, everyone knew whether it was better to be an unknown member of the Dragon Group or the helmsman of a top-tier family.
However, after these few days of intensive training, Da Xiong had grown to like this environment!
He wanted to try to persuade his family!
After leaving Lin Weidong, Da Xiong went straight back to the lounge.
New recruits in the intensive training were not allowed to bring their mobile phones.
If they wanted to contact their families, they could do so through the observers or the phones in the lounge.
Generally, powerful families would send their own retinues to participate in the observer group to look after their descendants up close.
However, some family members joined through their own strength, and their families were not as powerful.
They naturally couldn’t secure a spot in the observer group and could only contact their families via the phones in the lounge.
Therefore, there were quite a few people making calls in the lounge at the moment, and it was a bit crowded.
Da Xiong did not choose to find his family's retinue but called himself.
Firstly, he wanted to explain things to his family himself.
Secondly, he was afraid that the retinue might object and not even allow him to make a call!
Da Xiong stood at the back of the line, thinking about how he should explain things clearly to his family, his palms sweating with nervousness!
He knew that once he told his parents his decision, there would be significant resistance.
After all, the Yang family had been on a downward trend for a long time. Among the younger generation, while there were no decadent prodigal sons, there were also no geniuses!
Most of them were mediocre.
They could help manage the business, but none of them could carry the banner of the family.
Furthermore, over the years, the martial arts experts who had served the Yang family had either died or left.
It was foreseeable.
If this continued, once the older generation of the Yang family passed on, the Yang family would face complete decline!
The Yang family desperately needed a young and promising descendant to step up and shoulder the responsibility!
Finally, the people in front finished their calls.
Da Xiong then stepped forward, picked up the phone, and dialed his father's number.
Ring, ring, ring—
As he waited for the call to be answered, Da Xiong took a deep breath, trying to expel the nervousness from his chest.
After a while.
"Hello?" Yang Fu's voice came from the other end of the line.
Da Xiong stiffened immediately, then said, "Dad, it's me."
Yang Fu was startled, then asked, "Why didn't you have Retainer Bai call?"
Da Xiong was using an unfamiliar phone number!
Da Xiong immediately said, "I have something I want to discuss with you, and it's not convenient for Retainer Bai to hear."
Yang Fu immediately had a bad premonition.
The first thing he thought of was whether Da Xiong had been expelled from the Dragon Group.
Although the Dragon Group recruited members from top-tier families as a basis for cooperation, it was not a dumping ground!
They didn't accept just anyone.
Especially during the new recruit training period, if any mistake was made, no matter how prominent the family, the Dragon Group would expel the person without regard for their reputation.
Da Xiong was usually a troublemaker at home.
It was no wonder Yang Fu's first reaction was this.
"Don't worry, tell me what you did wrong, and I'll help you plead with Elder Lin later," Yang Fu immediately said.
Da Xiong couldn't help but laugh and cry!
It seemed Yang Fu had misunderstood him!
Because of this misunderstanding, Da Xiong's somewhat nervous mood finally eased considerably.
So, Da Xiong mustered his courage and said, "Dad, I didn't make any mistakes. On the contrary, I performed very well!"
"That's good, that's good. As long as you pass there, don't do anything reckless," Yang Fu said with relief, admonishing him.
Da Xiong laughed heartily and said, "Dad, because I performed well in the training, Elder Lin even thinks I'm a promising talent!"
Yang Fu smiled knowingly, a look of pride on his face!
What father wouldn't want his child to be an exceptional talent?
Da Xiong's approval from Lin Weidong was equivalent to his own approval!
Yang Fu said with gratification, "Don't let Elder Lin's kind intentions go to waste. You must train hard. When the training is over, I'll personally thank him for you!"
Da Xiong softly agreed and continued, "Because of my outstanding performance, Elder Lin asked me today if I was willing to officially join the Dragon Group."
"Of course..." Yang Fu was about to agree wholeheartedly.
But he quickly realized the implication of Lin Weidong's words, and the rest of his sentence got stuck in his throat!
After a long pause, Yang Fu tightened his grip on the phone and said, "Officially joining the Dragon Group, is it what I think it is?"
Da Xiong nodded.
He didn't need to explain much; Yang Fu could understand!
Yang Fu's side fell silent, with only the sound of his shallow breathing.
Da Xiong waited quietly, not saying a word.
"Da Xiong, I think this is a good opportunity, it shows Elder Lin values you."
"But you know our family's situation. If there was anyone else I could rely on, I wouldn't force you into this position."
Yang Fu said with great difficulty.
He deeply understood the difficulties of the Yang family, and even more so the hardship of holding this position!
The Yang family had been declining year after year.
But many people in the Yang family still held an optimistic attitude, living day by day without knowing what tomorrow would bring.
Some even suspected Yang Fu of embezzlement!
In reality, Yang Fu had made countless efforts behind the scenes to keep the Yang family's great ship running smoothly!
Being the helmsman of the Yang family was not a pleasant task.
On the contrary, it was like holding a scorching hot potato!
That was why Yang Fu said that if there were any other candidates, he wouldn't let Da Xiong walk his old path.
"Dad, I know, but I really like it here," Da Xiong said with a hint of melancholy.
Even though he knew this would be the outcome, he still wanted to try.
Yang Fu pondered for a moment.
After a long while, Yang Fu spoke, "Do you really like it?"
Yang Fu already had the answer in his heart.
This child, Da Xiong, rarely asked for anything from the family.
Despite his sometimes boisterous nature, he was actually very sensible.
Since he was making this call, it meant Da Xiong was extremely eager in his heart!
