Chapter 722: It will be difficult to lead the team if people’s morale is low!
Earth.
China.
Shelter in the center of Yongcheng.
"How's it going? Have you heard from Lu Li recently?"
Ao Zhan placed his arms on the conference table, his burly body leaning forward slightly, looking anxious.
Pan Xiaoxiao, who was walking towards the main seat, paused, shook her head and sighed:
"No."
"Not only is there no news from Mr. Lu, but Li Luo who went with us has also not responded."
"Hiss, it's been almost nine months..." Ao Zhan took a breath, unable to hide his worry on his face:
"Xiaoxiao, could Lu Li be dead?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent.
Yan Qi, who was sitting next to Ao Zhan, poked the honest leader with his elbow and reminded him in a low voice:
"Leader, Lu Li can't be dead. His name is still ranked first on the three rankings..."
"If he had died, his name would have been taken by someone else."
"Oh, that's right, this kid is still riding on my head..." Ao Zhan smiled foolishly as if he was relieved. He immediately opened his data panel and clicked on the level ranking list to take another look.
The first place is still Lu Li, Lv.88.
The same is true for the kill list.
"Although the person is still alive, there is no news coming back, which still makes people very worried..." Lin Tianxia, who was sitting next to Pan Xiaoxiao, said worriedly:
"It's been nine months... Even if you can reply with one or two words..."
"Maybe it's not convenient to reply..." Pan Xiaoxiao thought uncertainly in her heart, and did not open her mouth to respond to the words of the head of the Lin family.
As one of the maids who signed a contract with Lu Li, Pan Xiaoxiao fully understood what role she should play.
She could guess that the situation on Lu Li's end was probably not optimistic.
It's even possible that he's already trapped somewhere.
But she couldn't show weakness and uncertainty.
Because doing so will not only not help the current situation, but may also cause people to lose confidence.
Once the people's hearts are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Whether it is the Wan family or the Qian family,
Or the Liu family, who are the villains on the surface but are actually the most closely connected with the Lin family.
They all need Lu Li as the stabilizing force.
The overall situation in China is currently stabilizing, and a new order is gradually being established.
We can't let it collapse again!
With her mind firmed up again, Pan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and looked at the audience:
"Mr. Lu Li promised before he left that he would return safely."
"Everyone here has had some contact with Mr. Lu Li and knows the value of this promise."
"Instead of us being here and worrying about something that is not going to happen, we should be more efficient and focus on this meeting."
"I think that when Mr. Lu Li comes back, he won't want to see the situation he has worked so hard to build turned into a mess again."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the players in the conference room straightened up and looked serious.
……
Jiangcheng.
Liu family refuge.
"That's all for today, let's all go do our work."
Liu Wenjian dismissed everyone, put his hand on his forehead, and leaned back in his chair.
This was his usual resting posture after every meeting, so the other Liu family members did not have any special reaction when they saw it.
But Liu Hui and Liu Ba, who were known as Liu Wenjian's right-hand men, looked at each other and saw the difference.
The number of fingers resting on his forehead increased from two to four.
There is a small meeting to be held.
The two of them did not leave the conference room with everyone else, but pretended to organize the information recorded on the data panel.
After everyone had left, he stood up from his seat and closed the door of the conference room.
Take out a few props that can block sound and light from the storage props and temporarily seal off the entire conference room.
Then, he used props with anti-stealth functions to search every corner.
After doing all this and checking that everything was correct, he returned to the conference table.
At this time, there were only three of them left in the meeting room.
"What's wrong, Brother Wenjian? Is there any news from Brother Lu Li?"
Liu Hui spoke first, trying to sound as relaxed as possible.
"No, there is no news from Brother Lu Li yet." Liu Wenjian took his hand away from his forehead and sighed softly.
The aura that only belongs to the superior quietly disappears at this moment, and turns into deep fatigue and uneasiness.
"No news yet? It's been nine months..." Liu Ba smacked his lips, his eyes widened:
"I hope there won't be any accidents..."
"Pah, pah, pah!" Liu Hui interrupted, raising his eyebrows:
"Old Eight, what a rotten mouth you have, slap yourself twice!"
"Hey, yes, I just can't control my mouth all day long..." Liu Ba, who was used to bickering with Liu Hui, did not refute at all this time, and even slapped himself twice with quick movements.
"Okay, let's talk business." Liu Wenjian stopped Liu Ba helplessly and said:
"The Lu family did not provide us with supplies this time... After being deceived for so long, they finally came to their senses."
"I estimate that it won't be long before the Lu family retaliates against us!"
"Based on our current comprehensive strength, as long as the Lu family doesn't send out all their forces, we should be fine if we can hold on for a while."
"Logically speaking, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for our Liu family, but..."
Having said this, Liu Wenjian paused, and the worry on his face became more and more obvious.
Liu Hui vaguely guessed what Liu Wenjian was going to say next, and tentatively continued:
"But by doing so, will the Liu family lose the initiative and fall into a passive position?"
"That's right." Liu Wenjian nodded solemnly:
"Now, we have two choices."
"One, pretend to know nothing and continue to play the 'villain role' we played before;"
"By doing this, we can minimize the casualties and losses of the Liu family."
"Second, take the initiative to expose yourself and provoke a war with the Lu family;"
"If we do this, we will suffer heavy casualties and may even be at risk of genocide."
"Liu Hui, Liu Ba, who do you think I should choose as the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Ba scratched his head and thought more directly: "No matter how you look at it, you should choose the first one, right? Well, but I'm stupid, so I'll listen to Brother Wen Jian in the end!"
Liu Wenjian curled his lips and joked:
"Old Eight, you're being lazy again."
Liu Hui pondered for a long time and looked at Liu Wenjian with complicated eyes:
"Brother Wenjian, you already have the answer, right?"
Liu Wenjian raised his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and did not respond to Liu Hui.
He just repeated the question:
"Which one do you think I should choose as the head of the Liu family?"
Liu Hui's skinny face showed fear and cowardice, and soon it turned into ruthlessness and cruelty.
Two contradictory expressions switched back and forth on his face, and finally disappeared, turning into calmness.
Liu Hui did not answer Liu Wenjian, but muttered to himself:
"The one-year agreement between Big Brother Lu Li and the Lu family is coming soon..."
"If we choose the first option, the Liu family will be able to preserve their strength and minimize the losses, but the Lin family will be under great pressure;"
"If we do the second one, the Liu family will suffer a great loss, but it will attract a considerable amount of hatred for the Lin family;"
Having said that, Liu Hui stopped talking and raised his head to meet Liu Wenjian's gaze.
After a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Brother Wenjian, your position as the head of the family was given to you by Brother Lu Li, so I think you will choose the second option..."
"No, you must choose the second one."
A smile suddenly broke out on Liu Wenjian's expressionless face.
He said in a relaxed tone:
"As expected of you, Lao Liu. I think so too."
"I have been submissive and submissive for twenty years. It is time for me to be ruthless once..."
