"This isn’t an exaggeration, this is the truth. The word ’Terminator’ is invaluable, and it brings significant influence to those around. If the Deceitful Fox and Sky Net were still around, so petty forces might jump out as enemies and threaten those around us, but not anymore. Deceitful Fox and Sky Net have been eliminated, and the Terminator Alliance is at its peak. With the financial power of the Chu Group, no one dares to provoke the Terminator anymore; they can only rack their brains to ingratiate themselves." ngyao stated truthfully.
Ye Fan called it an exaggeration, but ngyao laid out the facts with logic and evidence.
Ye Fan thought carefully and agreed with this reasoning. He’s not alone anymore; the na of the Terminator Alliance is not given lightly, and no one dares to challenge its might. Additionally, with the Chu Group’s abundant resources, no force will seek its own demise.
There’s no pathway to curry favor, so how could anyone do sothing self-destructive?
It’s only natural that those around them can enjoy substantial benefits.
"I’m happy to see this happening. As long as past identities don’t bring trouble to those around , that’s what I’ve always pursued. It’s great if my friends can rise with the tide." Ye Fan couldn’t hide his delight.
"Liu Shangxiang enjoys a queen-like treatnt; she’s overjoyed and has simply accepted the current situation, riding the wave unchecked." ngyao said with a smile, recalling Liu Shangxiang’s pride and joy when sharing her feelings, ngyao felt genuine happiness too.
Close friends in a foreign land, receiving such courtesies due to one’s influence, are naturally pleased.
ngyao remarked with a mix of amusent and helplessness, "But Liu Shangxiang also has her troubles. A series of gifts were sent to her; she has no choice but to accept them because people dropped them off without a word. Liu Shangxiang doesn’t know how to handle this."
"Just accept what you can and bring it back if possible. The items you can’t bring back can be shipped," Ye Fan said casually. "Since it’s a goodwill gesture, there’s no reason to refuse a benefit that’s handed directly to you. We needn’t feel embarrassed."
"Liu Shangxiang enjoys the treatnt without guilt. She tried returning so gifts, but couldn’t find the people who gave them. Once the gifts were given, there’s no intention of taking them back, so Liu Shangxiang accepted them." ngyao said helplessly. "The value aside, even the quantity is astonishing. Most people give gifts in threes: one for Liu Shangxiang, and the other two indirectly for you and , which really puts Liu Shangxiang in a dilemma."
"Just accept the goodwill, no need to feel awkward. If you forcibly return gifts, we’re in the wrong, and it puts the gift-givers in an awkward position; they might suspect ill intentions on our part." Ye Fan said calmly.
...
At this mont, Fu Lao and his daughter Fu Huixia were on their way to visit Ye Fan and ngyao.
Fu Lao’s visit was naturally about what Zhang Lu had discussed, coming to seek Ye Fan’s aid.
In the car, Fu Lao uncertainly asked, "Daughter, do you think Ye Fan will agree to our request?"
"I don’t know," Fu Huixia replied earnestly, "In terms of understanding Ye Fan, you’ve analyzed him from all angles; if you don’t have confidence, how could I answer this question?"
"This guy is loyal and righteous; it’s an excellent trait with many exploitable aspects. Considering today, people like him who are loyal and righteous, yet capable and talented, are rare." Fu Lao said.
"According to your perspective, the chances are high that others seeking Ye Fan’s help might succeed. Your brief interaction with Ye Fan doesn’t lend itself to a strong bond; you can’t leverage his loyalty and righteousness," Fu Huixia bluntly pointed out.
"You’re right," Fu Lao said with a deep gaze, "If Zhang Lu or Chu ngyao’s grandfather Chu Erzhu stepped in, the chances of success would be higher. But I can’t do that. Constantly using those connections has its limits. This ti, I just want to see how Ye Fan feels about our affiliation. Ye Fan served as an instructor and interacted with the Longyin Team. In many people’s minds, he holds the position of a leader, although we know we deliberately fostered this misconception, hoping Ye Fan would incorporate into our ranks."
"Without emphasizing Ye Fan’s identity, the re term ’leader’ truly represents a lot."
"Ye Fan himself hasn’t objected, so we take it as implied consent. Actually, I know he disdains such titles. He hasn’t opposed this misunderstanding, likely because he finds it beneath him to clarify."
Fu Lao’s understanding of Ye Fan is thorough, analyzing even the finer details.
The goal is to use insights into Ye Fan’s character for better negotiation.
This way, they can grasp a certain degree of initiative.
"You’ve learned so much, hopefully it proves useful. If we’re t with rejection, it’ll prove whether your analysis on Ye Fan’s sense of affiliation was in vain, not excluding the possibility of it backfiring," Fu Huixia candidly comnted.
"Ye Fan acts according to his will, entirely based on personal preferences, which an organization can’t allow and wouldn’t agree to. But this matter needs soone like him, so it’s best to involve Ye Fan to minimize losses. Putting him in charge is an optimal choice." Fu Lao expressed his reasoning and intentions.
Many tis, things that shouldn’t see the light need to be handled by those in the shadows.
Fu Lao did have other options, but to minimize casualties, this was the safest and most reliable approach.
"Trying to assimilate a rule-defying vigilante who relies on his own sense of justice into organizational ranks—don’t you think this is nonsensical?" Fu Huixia said impatiently.
"A girl speaking such words!" Fu Lao chided before continuing with a aningful tone, "Everything is possible; certain tasks require unrestrained individuals to accomplish. As long as there’s a basic moral compass, there’s no problem, and in this respect, Ye Fan fits all the basic criteria."
"Following your reasoning, the sense of belonging might get further distance," Fu Huixia said bluntly.
"Non-permanent personnel is fine," Fu Lao said thoughtfully.
