Jiang Zhuliu smiled sinisterly and said, "No wonder Young Master reminded us to settle the matter quickly. It seems like they were well prepared …"
"This is a chain of attacks." Li Yun was in a bad mood as well. She had just finished negotiating with the workers' representatives. They were very satisfied with the solution and promised that they would not cause trouble for the company anymore. They had finally come up with a big move and were just waiting to kill the enemy in one move. What they didn't expect was that their opponents had already taken the initiative to use their ultimate move. The special effects were even cooler than theirs, and the moves were even more gorgeous than theirs. Tell me, who could they go to to reason with?
"Yes. This is a chain of attacks. " General Ling took the towel that Shangxin brought over and wiped the water stains on his hands. The murderous look on his face gradually disappeared, and he regained his radiant smile. He said softly, "When they were digging that pit, they had already predicted our reaction. When we counterattack, it is equivalent to jumping into the pit, and they start to dig the soil with shovels, burying us tightly. "
The workers had chosen to create trouble at such a critical moment. When Jiang Junling and the rest were busy filling the pit, Fang Yan and Lu Chaoge kicked them into the pit and started to fill it with soil …
"These people are trying to kill us. Military orders, they are once again ahead of us. What do we do now? "Lan Ling asked angrily. In the past, they had always been the ones to bully others. They had never thought that there would be a day when someone would dare to bully them. This feeling of being led by the nose was really unbearable.
"We have lost." Jiang Junling said honestly. "This time, no matter what we do, we have already lost."
"If we ignore it, we will not be able to answer to the workers. If we followed suit, the outside world would interpret it as us being inspired by Lu Zhaoge taking the lead in raising wages and feeling guilty towards the workers. That's why we did this. We will not be able to gain anything. Lu Chaoge has stolen our reputation and prestige, and no one will be grateful to us … "Jiang Zhuliu explained.
"The woman you like is really powerful." Jiang Shangxin sneered. Ever since her father's death, she started to view Jiang Zhuliu with hostility. She wouldn't let go of any opportunity that presented itself.
Li Yun swept a sharp glance at her daughter and stepped out to smooth things over. "Shangxin, don't misunderstand the relationship between Zhu Liu and Lu Chaoge. They are only siblings, it's not what you think it is …"
Jiang Shangxin understood her mother's thoughts and lowered her head, not saying a word.
Jiang Zhuliu looked at Shangxin and smiled sympathetically. "Mom, don't blame Shangxin. Which woman wouldn't be jealous? Shangxin was jealous because she cared about me. If she didn't care about me, why would she mention me with another woman? At that time, I really should have been sad. "
Jiang Junling took a glance at Jiang Shangxin and said with a smile, "This younger sister of mine is a little petty. However, Zhu Liu, I have to warn you that you cannot let Shangxin down. If you dare to bully her, I will not let you off — "
Jiang Shangxin's heart was filled with sorrow. She was very clear that Jiang Junling was' instructing 'Jiang Zhuliu on the surface, but in reality, he was threatening her. When he asked Jiang Zhuliu to treat her better, he was implying that he didn't want the two of them to have a conflict.
Indeed, Jiang Zhuliu understood and replied with a serious face, "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master. I can't wait to dote on her and love her. How would I bear to bully her? "
The group of people laughed out loud. Only Jiang Shangxin's heart was wet and she wanted to find a quiet place to cry her heart out.
Li Yun stopped laughing and looked at Jiang Junling. "We are one step behind on the military order, but we still have to respond. At the very least, we have to fulfill the conditions that we promised the workers' representatives. Otherwise, they will think that they have been cheated and will do something even more drastic. By then, we won't be able to turn the situation around — "
"Of course we have to fulfill the promise." Jiang Junling pondered and said, "It's just a matter of how far we have to go."
Li Yun's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jiang Junling wasn't convinced and wanted to increase the stakes?
If that was the case, they would have to spend an astronomical sum of money —
This time, Li Yun's heart really ached a little.
Of course, Li Yun wouldn't say anything against it. She knew Jiang Junling too well. This man was proud and arrogant. On the surface, he was respectful to everyone, but deep down, he was extremely selfish. No one could change his mind once he decided on something.
"What's your opinion on the military order?" Li Yun looked at Jiang Junling and asked.
Jiang Junling's gaze met Jiang Zhuliu's for a short while, then it stopped on Lan Ling's face. He smiled and said, "Uncle Lan, this concerns a few families. I can't make the decision alone. Everyone has to make a decision together —"
Lan Ling also knew Jiang Junling's character and knew that he would be the one to make the decision. However, he really liked the respectful attitude that Jiang Junling displayed. He waved his hand and said, "Military order, we are all on the same side. You don't have to be so courteous with us. It's still up to you to make the decision. Don't worry, as long as I can do it, I will give my full support. If I can't do it, I will go back and ask my grandfather for support. "
Jiang Junling nodded and said, "Since everyone trusts me, then I won't be courteous with everyone. I'll tell you my opinion first, and if you think it's inappropriate, you can bring it up. This isn't just empty words, everyone has to fork out the money together — — this is a big matter. I can't make the decision alone, and I can't make the decision. "
Jiang Zhuliu chuckled as he looked at Jiang Junling and said, "Whatever eldest young master says, we'll do it. Do you think eldest young master will let us suffer losses? "
"That's right. The Jiang family has a lot of assets. At most, they'll give us some compensation from other places — — "Lan Ling also agreed.
Jiang Junling had the Jiang family behind him. Even if Jiang Junling squandered all of his assets in Huacheng, it would only be a superficial wound. He wouldn't even be able to touch his bones. The Jiang family would still be the prestigious Jiang family.
Moreover, Jiang Zhuliu was the one who voluntarily gave away the shares of Longtu Group in order to curry favor with the Jiang family. Even if Longtu Group collapsed, the person who lost the most was Jiang Zhuliu. What did that have to do with Jiang Junling?
"We can't give too little compensation. We've already discussed the standard with the workers' representatives. If we break the contract now, the workers won't be satisfied, and if this matter gets out, we'll seem petty." Jiang Junling patiently explained, "We can't use the same standard as Chao Yan either. Although they're ahead of us, we can't use the same standard as them. If we do that, people will think that we're imitating Chao Yan — — and Chao Yan will bribe the media to lead us in that direction. We have to set a higher standard than them, but not by too much. Otherwise, we'll fall into Fang Yan's trap and become the main culprit of this incident. Do you think there's a problem with a 25% increase in benefits? "
"No problem." Jiang Zhuliu was the first to agree.
Li Yun did some mental calculations and felt his heart ache. However, he still smiled and said, "There's no problem on my side either."
Lan Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "This isn't a small amount. I can't make the decision alone. I'll go back and discuss it with the Old Master. If he agrees, there won't be a problem — — I'll explain the cause and effect of this matter and the various stakes to him. I think he'll agree. "
Although Jiang Junling despised Lan Ling's indecisiveness, he still said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Lan. Thank you for the trouble."
Lan Ling sighed and didn't speak anymore.
Jiang Junling looked at Li Yun and said, "Let's do it this way."
"Okay." Li Yun nodded and said, "I'll handle this personally."
Jiang Zhuliu looked at Jiang Junling and said, "Master, the matter has been settled temporarily. However, what if they create any more trouble?"
"If I were Fang Yan — —" Jiang Junling took the teacup that Shangxin passed to him and said, "I can still make two more moves."
"— —"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in shock, Jiang Junling squinted his eyes and smiled. He said, "Furthermore, based on my understanding of my old friend, he will definitely be able to think of these two moves and execute them — —"
Li Yun panicked. She looked at Jiang Junling and said, "Military orders, this isn't a joke. Since you know what Fang Yan is going to do next, shouldn't we take some precautions — — We can't just passively take a beating and do nothing, right? "
Jiang Junling shook his head and said, "We don't have to do anything, and we can't do anything — — If we are slow in the first move, we will be slow in every subsequent move. We have lost this round. Let's change to another battlefield and continue playing the game. "
Everyone looked at Jiang Junling thoughtfully. This proud man had once again admitted that he had lost. He had lost to the man who had beaten him repeatedly, Fang Yan?
Furthermore, even though Jiang Junling had already thought of what Fang Yan was going to do next, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it. In that case, what exactly was Fang Yan going to do?
"There are some things that can't be done with human strength." Jiang Junling looked at everyone and explained, "The more we get entangled in this, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. Why don't we cut the Gordian knot and end this battle quickly in exchange for a battlefield that is beneficial to us? "
"You are right, Young Master." Jiang Zhuliu agreed and said, "Doing something despite knowing that it is impossible to do is the true stupidity."
"This feeling — —" Jiang Junling smiled bitterly and said, "— is really uncomfortable."
After the meeting ended, he bade farewell to Shangxin and the General Ling and walked out with his bag in hand.
Jiang Zhuliu walked over quickly and shouted, "Shangxin, let's talk — —"
Jiang Shangxin turned around and looked at Jiang Zhuliu expressionlessly. "Jiang Zhuliu, what do we have to talk about?"
"You are my wife, and I am your husband in name and in law. We have many things to talk about — — "Jiang Zhuliu chuckled and said.
Jiang Zhuliu grabbed onto Shangxin's arm as she turned around to leave.
Jiang Zhuliu gave Shangxin a tight slap when she turned around to scold her.
Piak!
A resounding slap!
