The matter of inviting the Qingyu School was not decided imdiately, largely because of Luo Xudong’s words. As the task executor, he had to be the primary consideration.
After the eting, Chen Jingfeng found Fang Yushan and spoke with him about sothing.
Zhan Lanqi quickly caught up with Luo Xudong, walked alongside him with a generous and bright smile, and said, "I didn’t expect Commander Luo to agree with my opinion. It seems we have quite the rapport."
She laughed and joked.
Luo Xudong maintained a cold deanor, walking outward without turning his eyes, as if there wasn’t a vibrant person beside him, as if no one was speaking.
Zhan Lanqi was accustod to his attitude, continuing to talk on her own, "Does Commander Luo have any requirents for the candidates? I’ll go back and tell the head of household to send so candidates who can follow orders."
By saying this, she was also showing her influence within the Ancient Wood School and her status in the head’s mind.
Luo Xudong still said nothing, pursed his lips as he walked out. As Zhan Lanqi was an outsider parachuted from above, if a choice had to be made, he would be the first to exclude her.
Besides her ill intentions, another point was that she talked too much, which was annoying.
After Chen Jingfeng spoke with Fang Yushan, his expression was sowhat grim, evidently unable to convince Fang Yushan. He didn’t outright reject but wasn’t as straightforward as during the eting, all because of that one sentence from Luo Xudong.
Fang Yushan also indicated that Chen Jingfeng should first learn about Qingyu. If they were indeed too arrogant, there might be no way to cooperate.
Knowing there was still room for maneuver, Chen Jingfeng initially intended to discuss with Luo Xudong. But upon seeing Wu Yuekai’s car leave, he changed his mind and decided to visit Wu Yuekai.
Chen Jingfeng was younger than Wu Yuekai and less experienced, considering Wu Yuekai as a predecessor.
On the way, Wu Yuekai contacted Beisitian to co to the Red Painted Courtyard, so shortly after Wu Yuekai arrived ho, Beisitian ca.
"The old man asked for ?" Beisitian asked while sitting on the sofa.
Wu Yuekai put down the cup and directly asked, "Do you want to be involved in Xudong’s task?"
Beisitian was montarily stunned, then nodded. She hadn’t gone to the old man to plead, as she didn’t want to involve him, but now it seed that the old man couldn’t be kept out of this task.
"Xudong doesn’t want you to be involved."
"I know, but I have to be involved." Beisitian paused and then explained her reasons to Wu Yuekai.
Wu Yuekai couldn’t help but sigh after hearing her rationale. Her consideration was indeed correct—prepare ahead, gather information, and strike first if the opportunity arises!
"You two couples! That boy Xudong doesn’t want you to take risks, but your considerations aren’t wrong, and are more forward-looking."
"So the old man plans to help ?" Beisitian asked with a smile.
Since the old man was involved, there was no such thing as not implicating him.
Wu Yuekai laughed and shook his head, "What else can I do? It seems I will offend that boy Xudong. He might give a cold shoulder for a while."
He joked.
Luo Xudong might give the cold shoulder to anyone, but not to Wu Yuekai, though he would undoubtedly feel helpless.
"Alright, you should go back first. I reckon Chen Jingfeng will co to find ." Wu Yuekai said.
He saw Chen Jingfeng going to find Fang Yushan. Fang Yushan, the person who emphasizes execution, would certainly prioritize Luo Xudong’s opinion since he spoke. It would be hard for Chen Jingfeng’s eloquence to persuade Fang Yushan.
If Chen Jingfeng wasn’t foolish, he would know that instead of negotiating with Luo Xudong, he should co to him.
Sure enough, shortly after Wu Yuekai finished speaking, Li Xuejun ca to report, and Beisitian had to temporarily avoid.
Chen Jingfeng arrived hurriedly, also directly expressing his intention.
"I don’t know how much General Wu knows about Qingyu, but as far as I know, Qingyu’s head of household, although young, is not an arrogant person; moreover, their skills are significant. Having such a strong individual to cooperate with is better than relying entirely on one school."
Wu Yuekai was calm, asking Li Xuejun to pour a cup of tea for Chen Jingfeng before speaking, "What you can think of, General Fang can naturally think of. Since he hasn’t closed the door on the matter, it shows there’s still room for negotiation."
Chen Jingfeng felt delighted hearing that Wu Yuekai hadn’t outright rejected his proposal.
"Mr. Wu’s point is?"
"Go back and discuss with General Fang again." Wu Yuekai said.
Chen Jingfeng was stunned, "I just ca out from General Fang, and his attitude was different from in the eting."
"General Fang’s intention was to find another sufficiently strong partner to contain the Ancient Wood School so they wouldn’t lead us by the nose. Hence, Commander Luo can better execute the task. That’s why General Fang didn’t imdiately reject you, but he has to consider Luo Xudong’s remarks. If Qingyu’s leader is indeed an arrogant person, naturally, there’s no need to talk."
Upon hearing Wu Yuekai’s analysis of Fang Yushan’s thoughts, Chen Jingfeng imdiately assured, "I can guarantee Qingyu’s leader isn’t as arrogant as people say. Mr. Wu, would you be willing to say a few words?"
"Oh?" Wu Yuekai was now intrigued.
Chen Jingfeng laughed, "I was fortunate enough to et this young leader once during an event held by the Mystic Doctor Association, accompanying a friend. Although it was a brief encounter, it left a profound impression on , which is why I strongly recomnd her."
Wu Yuekai smiled and nodded, seemingly enlightened, though he knew internally that Chen Jingfeng definitely had vested interests. They were all seasoned professionals; who would sincerely recomnd soone after just one encounter, expending so much effort and even utilizing connections?
Nevertheless, Wu Yuekai certainly wouldn’t expose him, especially as his current goals aligned with Chen Jingfeng’s.
By gaining a favor from Chen Jingfeng, Wu Yuekai also managed to help Beisitian, achieving two things at once.
With Wu Yuekai’s advocacy, Fang Yushan genuinely began considering Qingyu. With two generals recomnding it, Qingyu was indeed powerful. Additionally, since Chen Jingfeng claid he had seen them in person, he also contacted the Mystic Doctor Association’s higher-ups for a thorough understanding and decided to invite them.
Luo Xudong didn’t expect an old superior to appear halfway, preventing him from stopping his wife’s advance. It seed like this task needed to be re-planned.
He had no doubt that Beisitian could assist him; he just didn’t want her facing any danger, especially since this task had certain peculiarities, even he couldn’t guarantee anything completely.
Feeling most upset would be Zhan Lanqi; indeed, Qingyu inevitably intervened.
