Jiang Zhuliu grinned and said, "No wonder the young master reminded us to solve it quickly. It seems that they were prepared in advance----"
"This is a chain of tricks." Li Yun was in a bad mood. He had just finished negotiating with the workers' representatives. They were very satisfied with the solution and said with a smile that they would never cause trouble for the company again. It took a lot of effort to come up with a big move, and they were waiting to kill the enemy in one move during the battle. Unexpectedly, the opponent had already used their big move first, and the special effects were cooler than theirs, and the moves were more gorgeous than theirs. Tell me, who can I complain to
"Yes. This is a chain of tricks." General Ling took the towel handed to him by the general and wiped the water stains on his hands. The murderous look on his face gradually disappeared, and he regained his smile. He said softly: "When they dug the pit, they had already anticipated our reaction. When we fought back, it was like jumping into the pit, and they started to dig the soil with shovels to bury us tightly."
The workers chose to cause trouble at such a critical moment. It was a big pit. When the general ordered them to fill the pit, Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge stood behind and kicked them into the pit, and then began to fill the pit with soil-----
"These people are trying to trick us to death. Military order, they are ahead of us again, what should we do now?" Lan Ling asked angrily. In the past, they always bullied others, and never thought that one day someone would dare to bully them - this feeling of being led by the nose is really uncomfortable.
"We lost," the general said frankly. "This time, no matter how we react, we have already lost."
"If we ignore it, we won't be able to explain to the workers. If we follow suit and increase the stakes, the outside world will interpret it as us doing this because we were inspired by Lu Chaoge's initiative to increase wages and feel guilty towards the workers. We will gain nothing, as all our fame and prestige will be taken away by Lu Chaoge, and no one will appreciate our kindness----" Jiang Zhuliu explained.
"The woman you like is really amazing." Jiang Shangxin sneered. Ever since her father died, she began to be hostile to Jiang Zhuliu and would not let him go if she had the chance.
Li Yun glanced at her daughter sharply, and came out to smooth things over, saying, "Shangxin, don't misunderstand the relationship between Zhuliu and Lu Chaoge. There is only a brother-sister relationship between them, it's not what you think-----"
Jiang Shangxin understood his mother's thoughts, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Jiang Zhuliu looked at Shangxin and smiled sympathetically, saying, "Mom, don't blame Shangxin. What woman wouldn't be jealous? Shangxin is jealous because she cares about me. If she didn't care about me at all, why would she mention my relationship with another woman? That's when I should be really sad."
Jiangjun Ling glanced at Shangxin and said with a smile: "My sister is a little narrow-minded. But Zhuliu, I have to warn you that you must not let Shangxin down. If you dare to bully her, I will not let you go -"
Jiang Shangxin felt sad, she knew that Jiang Junling was ostensibly "instructing" Jiang Zhuliu, but in reality he was threatening her. He asked Jiang Zhuliu to be nicer to him, and the subtext was that he didn't want there to be any conflict between them.
Sure enough, Jiang Zhuliu understood and answered seriously, "Young Master, don't worry. I love her so much that I can't bear to bully her."
A group of people laughed, but Shangxin felt sad inside and wanted to find a place where no one was around to cry.
Li Yun smiled, looked at the general order and said, "General order, we are a step late, but we still have to make some response - at least, we have to do what we promised to the workers' representatives. Otherwise, they will think they have been deceived and will do something more drastic. At that time, we will have no room for maneuver -"
"Of course we have to fulfill our promise." The general thought for a while and said, "It's just a question of how far we should go."
Li Yun's heart suddenly jumped, and he thought, could it be that the general is not convinced and wants to add more pressure
If that's the case, it will cost an astronomical amount of money.
This time, Li Yun felt really distressed.
Of course, Li Yun would not say anything against it. She knew Jiang Junling too well. This man was arrogant and conceited. On the surface, he was very respectful to everyone, but in fact, he was extremely selfish. No one could change what he decided.
"Military Order, what do you think?" Li Yun asked the general order.
Jiang Junling's eyes briefly met Jiang Zhuliu's, then stopped at Lan Ling's face. He smiled and said, "Uncle Lan, this is a major matter that concerns several families. I can't make the decision alone. We all have to come together to make a decision-----"
Lan Ling also knew the character of General Ling, and knew that he would make the final decision on this matter. However, he liked the respectful attitude shown by General Ling. He waved his hand and said, "General Ling, we are all family, so don't be polite to us. You will make the decision on this matter. Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will fully support it. If I can't do it, I will go back to ask the old man for support for you."
General Ling nodded and said, "Since everyone trusts me, I won't be polite with you. I will tell you my thoughts first, and you can also point out if you think there is anything inappropriate. This is not just empty talk, it requires everyone to pay together - this is a big deal, I can't make the decision alone, and I can't make the decision."
Jiang Zhuliu looked at the general's order with a smile and said, "We will do whatever the young master says. Will the young master let us suffer any loss?"
"That's right. Since the family is big and the business is big, at worst they can give us some compensation from other places-----" Lan Ling also echoed.
Behind the General's Order is the Jiang family. Even if the General's Order squandered all the assets in Huacheng, it would only hurt their flesh and blood, and even their bones would not be hurt. The Jiang family would still be the mighty Jiang family.
Besides, the shares of Longtu Group were given away by Jiang Zhuliu in order to get close to the #Jiang family. Even if Longtu Group collapsed, the person who suffered the most was Jiang Zhuliu, so how much did it have to do with the general's order
"We can't have less compensation. We have already agreed on the standard with the workers' representatives. If we breach the contract now, the workers will be unhappy, and if the matter is exposed, we will appear to be petty." General Ling explained patiently, "We can't have the same standard as Chao Yan. Although they are ahead of us, we can't have the same standard as them. If we do, people will think we are imitating Chao Yan - Chao Yan will also bribe the media to lead in that direction. Our standard should be higher than theirs, but not too much higher, otherwise we will fall into Fang Yan's trap and become the biggest blame in this incident. Do you think there is a problem with the 25% welfare increase?"
"No problem." Jiang Zhuliu was the first to agree.
After Li Yun did the math in her mind, her heart ached, but she still smiled and said, "There's no problem on my end either."
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "This is not a small amount of money. I can't make the decision alone. I will go back and discuss it with the old man. If he nods, there will be no problem. I will explain the cause and effect of the matter and all the interests involved to him. I think he will agree."
Although the general despised Lan Ling's indecision, he still said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Lan, thank you for your trouble."
Lan Ling sighed and stopped talking.
The general looked at Li Yun and said, "Let's do it this way."
"Okay." Li Yun nodded and agreed, saying, "I'll handle this matter myself."
Jiang Zhuliu looked at the general order and said, "Young Master, the matter has been temporarily resolved, but what if they cause any more trouble?"
"If I were Fang Yan-----" General Ling took the teacup handed over by General Shangxin and said, "I can still make two more moves."
"------"
Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, General Ling narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying: "Moreover, based on my understanding of my old friend, he will definitely be able to think of these two moves and will definitely execute them-----"
Li Yun was anxious, looking at the general order and said: "General order, this is not a joke. Since you know what Fang Yan is going to do next, should we take some precautions? We can't just do nothing and passively get beaten, right?"
General Ling shook his head and said, "There is nothing to do. There is nothing we can do. We were slow in the first step, and every step after that was slow. We lost this round. Let's change the battlefield and continue playing the game."
Everyone looked at General Ling thoughtfully. This proud man once again admitted that he lost, lost to Fang Yan, the man who had defeated him time and time again
Moreover, although the general had already thought of Fang Yan's next move, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it. So, what exactly was Fang Yan going to do
"Some things are beyond human control." General Ling looked at everyone and explained, "The more we continue to fight, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. We might as well end the local war quickly and gain a battlefield that is favorable to us."
"Young Master is right." Jiang Zhuliu agreed and said, "It is truly foolish to do something knowing that it is impossible."
"This feeling----" General Ling smiled bitterly and said, "It really makes me uncomfortable."
After the meeting, Jiang Shangxin said hello to Jiang Junling, then walked out with his bag.
Jiang Zhuliu walked up quickly and shouted, "Shangxin, let's talk-----"
Jiang Shangxin turned around, looked at Jiang Zhuliu expressionlessly, and said, "Jiang Zhuliu, what can I talk to you about?"
"You are my wife, and I am your husband in name and in law. We have a lot to talk about-----" Jiang Zhuliu said with a smile.
Jiang Shangxin turned around to leave, but Jiang Zhuliu grabbed her arm.
Jiang Shangxin turned around and was about to curse, but Jiang Zhuliu slapped him in the face.
Snapped!
The slap was loud!
