Of course, Qin Jin believes that the Chairman means what he says, and he really thinks this way.
Because the opponent is an A-level Awakener, even if he can’t win, he can still escape.
"How much do you know about Chairman Li?"
Shao Yuandong suddenly asked this question.
"Know... know how much?"
A few people looked at each other.
"Or rather, from your point of view, what kind of person do you think he is? After all, you have had some short-term contact with him, unlike me who just got to know him recently." Shao Yuandong said with a smile.
"He’s a very strong person," said the green-haired woman.
"..."
Everyone present felt a bit awkward.
They thought to themselves, isn’t that stating the obvious? Who doesn’t know he’s strong?
"Chairman, I think Chairman Li is someone who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside," Qin Jin said earnestly after thinking for a moment.
"Oh?"
Shao Yuandong showed an interested expression and gestured with his eyes for him to continue.
"It’s easy to understand why he’s cold on the outside. Chairman Li always has a stern face, giving off an impression of being unapproachable, and combined with his strong abilities, it makes him seem even more aloof. But Chairman Li is actually a very good person."
"You can see this from the fact that as the president of the Anshan City Awakened Association, after the Beast Tide broke out, he didn’t leave but stayed to guard the city."
"You’re right." Shao Yuandong nodded heavily.
He asked himself, if it were him, would he do the same?
Not to mention he didn’t have the other’s strength; even if he did, he would most likely choose to leave.
Because it’s unnecessary. As the ancient saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. There’s no need to put oneself in danger for a group of ordinary people.
"Including this time, when we said goodbye to him, he not only didn’t blame us but took us back together. I really think Chairman Li is a very good person, just that he seems difficult to get along with."
The others also nodded repeatedly.
"Such a person, staying in that small city, is really a pity." Shao Yuandong sighed.
"This, I’m afraid there’s no way." Han Xu said helplessly, "I tried to persuade him several times before, even called him this morning, but he refused. It looks like he’s determined to stay in Anshan City."
"Can he hold it?"
Shao Yuandong asked.
"This..."
Han Xu opened his mouth, but could only say that the hope was slim.
But in this world, there are always some idealists, and because of them, the world has a bit more color.
Shao Yuandong sighed and then said to everyone, "You’ve just returned from Anshan City, go back and have a good rest first, sleep well, and regain your spirit."
"Yes, Chairman."
Qin Jin quickly stood up from the sofa, greeted everyone, and led them out.
As they were about to walk out, a voice came from behind, "Juque City will likely be attacked by the Beast Tide soon. You should also be prepared."
"Yes, Chairman."
Qin Jin turned around and looked gratefully at the other person.
A few people reached the corridor and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
"That’s the Chairman, his aura is too strong. I didn’t dare to look him in the eye," chirped the green-haired woman.
"Me too, I stared at the water glass on the coffee table the whole time."
"Alright."
Qin Jin was speechless, glanced at the two women, and then at the others in the group, "You all heard the Chairman’s words from before, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Heard them, actually even if the Chairman didn’t say, we know it too, we’ve come this far together after all."
"Yeah, those Fierce Beasts are countless times more than the ones we saw in Anshan City at dawn. If they attack our Juque City, the numbers will probably be in the millions?"
"Hey, just after experiencing a Fierce Beast siege, finally rushing back from Anshan City, we didn’t expect our Juque City to be attacked soon by Fierce Beasts too. These beasts are really damnable!" A young man cursed.
"Complaining about this now is useless."
Qin Jin sighed, "Remember, you can tell others about anything else, but not that one thing."
Everyone froze for a moment and quickly understood what the captain meant by that one thing.
"Rest assured, Captain, I’ll bury that matter deep in my stomach."
"Right, Chairman Li was so good to us, we can’t do such a thing."
"Hmm."
Qin Jin nodded.
On the other side, in the Chairman’s office, Shao Yuandong was deeply moved and sighed, "Old Han, this Chairman Li is truly a person of noble character."
"Yes," Han Xu nodded, "Chairman, and the matter he entrusted to us."
"Let’s handle it now."
Shao Yuandong said without hesitation.
After speaking, he directly picked up the phone on the table and dialed Li Jian’s number.
After a while, the phone was answered.
"Old Shao, what’s up?"
Li Jian’s voice sounded, appearing somewhat unusual.
In the video call at dawn, he and another sub-chairman Wang Lu didn’t agree with what Shao Yuandong said but didn’t outright reject it either. To save face, they were willing to offer 1 million points.
After hanging up the video call, he regretted it a bit.
Because even 1 million points is not a small amount. He didn’t know that person named Li Ping very well and shouldn’t have agreed so impulsively.
Fortunately, after hanging up the video call, Shao Yuandong didn’t say anything, so he thought the matter was likely over.
