Although strictly speaking, these matters couldn't be blamed on him being useless. No one could have expected that Xiao Ran and Qiao Hongcai, these two small fries, would actually be able to counterattack and succeed in building their foundations at the same time. But in the end, he could only blame himself for not doing his job well.
As a dignified steward senior brother, he couldn't even deal with two small fries under Lin Yi. This was a fact that couldn't be covered up no matter how he tried to find an excuse. Meng Jueguang felt ashamed and flustered, and didn't dare to find any excuse to shirk the responsibility in front of Young Master Xu.
Based on Meng Jueguang's many years of experience, the best way to deal with this situation was to pretend to be sincere and ashamed and prepare to be scolded. There was no need to say anything else, because anything else would be superfluous.
This Young Master Xu in front of him was truly a smart person. Any action of shirking responsibility in front of him was a stupid act of thinking oneself clever. The more one spoke, the more wrong one would be. It was better to put on a good attitude, and at least leave a good impression of being pragmatic.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Xu Lingchong opened his mouth and said, "Alright, I roughly understand the situation. This matter can't be blamed on you, Old Meng. After all, the other side's two small fries suddenly succeeded in building their foundations. This kind of thing is unexpected. Furthermore, it's normal for just one Meng Tong to be unable to handle it. You don't need to blame yourself too much."
After all, Xu Lingchong wasn't an ordinary hedonistic young master. His shrewdness and tolerance were far beyond that of ordinary people. Once a person like Meng Jueguang entered his eyes, as long as he didn't make a mistake on the crucial issue of loyalty, he could completely tolerate this kind of small mistake.
Because only by doing this could he create an image of being open-minded and open-minded. In the future, there would also be more people who would rely on him and willingly sell their lives for him.
Moreover, this time, Meng Jueguang could indeed be considered pardonable. If he, Xu Lingchong, didn't let it go, then it would seem like he had no tolerance. Not only would it not help the situation, it would also easily ruin his reputation. The loss outweighed the gain.
"Thank you for your understanding, Young Master Xu. Old Meng, I won't say any more hypocritical words of flattery. Young Master Xu, please watch my performance in the future. I will do my best and not disappoint Young Master Xu. "Meng Jueguang said with a face full of gratitude.
Xu Lingchong obviously enjoyed this very much. It was rare for him to put down his status, and he reached out to pat Meng Jueguang's shoulder. "Alright, Old Meng, this Young Master has seen your loyalty. Work hard in the future, and this Young Master will absolutely not treat you unfairly."
Looking at the master and servant duo's performance, Shanghai Laner couldn't help but secretly curl her lips. Even if she was inexperienced, she could still feel the artificiality in this. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. These people are really hypocritical to the extreme. They can't be compared to my Little Junior Brother Lin Yi!
Little did they know that this was Xu Lingchong deliberately pulling Meng Jueguang to put on a show. His vision was not limited to the mere Welcome Pavilion Lin Yi. He did this completely to create an image of himself as a wise Young Master. He wanted to spread his reputation through the mouths of the people present, and pave the way for him to take over the Xu Family in the future!
The master and the servant acted for a long time. Seeing that the audience was already talking about it, it seemed that the effect was almost there. Only then did they stop with satisfaction.
"Speaking of which, in this situation, Old Meng, what do you think we should do? We can't let Lin Yi and his lackeys be so arrogant and presumptuous, right? Otherwise, if this goes on, where will I put my face? " Where would I put my face then? "Xu Lingchong opened his mouth to ask.
Although he himself was a smart person, his focus had always been on the top, and he would not waste too much energy on a small figure like Lin Yi. If he had to do everything by himself, then what was the point of having a subordinate like Meng Jueguang?
Young Master Xu felt that what he had to do as the master was to be Meng Jueguang's backing, help him solve some things that he couldn't solve, and then let Meng Jueguang do it. To deal with a small figure like Lin Yi, Meng Jueguang was completely enough.
Meng Jueguang had been waiting for Xu Lingchong's words for a long time. Hearing this, he immediately replied, "Young Master Xu, in the current situation, although Lin Yi and the others are a bit too big to get rid of, in my opinion, the way to deal with them is actually very simple. As long as we take back the initiative in terms of strength, all other problems will naturally be solved."
"Oh? Old Meng, how do you want to take back the initiative? "Xu Lingchong frowned slightly.
Of course, he knew that the strength that Meng Jueguang mentioned here referred to the strength of the newcomers under him. After all, if he didn't want to take risks, he could only deal with Lin Yi and the others through this group of newcomers. Lin Yi and the others were now already in the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment. On the other hand, among the newcomers under Meng Jueguang, there was only Meng Tong. In comparison, it seemed too weak.
However, if he wanted the other newcomers under Meng Jueguang to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, not to mention that it would require a lot of medicinal pills and resources, the key was that with so many resources invested, there might not be any results.
This was because even Meng Jueguang, the Big Senior Brother in charge, could not guarantee the loyalty of so many newcomers. Moreover, it was unknown how many of these newcomers could successfully break through. At that time, when they faced Lin Yi and the others, they might not be able to gain an advantage, and the effect would not be great.
Meng Jueguang had already considered this, so he immediately said, "Young Master Xu, no matter how many resources are distributed to more people, it may not have an immediate effect. However, if they are concentrated on Meng Tong and let his strength rise to the peak of the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Xu Lingchong's eyes suddenly lit up. "Not bad, not bad. As long as we let Meng Tong regain an overwhelming advantage in strength, then no matter how many Early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators Lin Yi and the others toss about, it will be useless. Old Meng, your idea is not bad!"
However, after a pause, Xu Lingchong immediately shook his head and said, "However, although what you said is right, if I remember correctly, Meng Tong just broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage last month, and he even took the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Foundation Establishment Liquid. If you want him to reach the peak of the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment in a short period of time, it is easier said than done!"
At the side, Meng Tong was originally overjoyed, thinking that he could get a lot of benefits this time. However, now that he heard Xu Lingchong's words, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.
Now that even Young Master Xu said so, wouldn't his grand wish of breaking through to the peak of the Early-stage of Foundation Establishment in a short period of time to find Lin Yi and the others for revenge become a daydream?
