Chapter 687 Discussion Plan

Hangzhou is not as stable as here. So many things have happened in Hangzhou, and I almost lost my life. If I bring the little girl there, I'm really afraid something will happen.

Although the little girl wasn't afraid of zombies, what was more terrifying in Hangzhou was the people.

After thinking for a moment, I said, "How about next time? After Hangzhou is completely safe, I'll take you there to play, okay?"

The little girl was a little unhappy, but she was very sensible and nodded, saying, "Okay, you must take me next time!"

I nodded and said, "Definitely."

The little girl laughed again.

Not long after I stood on the frozen lake, it started to snow. I stretched out my hand and watched the snowflakes fall on it. Everything around me became quiet. The little girl spun around me, laughing all the while.

Ten minutes later, I pulled the shivering little girl back into the villa and wrapped her in a blanket to warm her up.

I never expected that she would fall asleep in my arms so soon.

...

That night, we received news that it came from Jiangbei. Pu Weichao and Xu Sanshui's mole in Jiangbei had begun to spread the truth about everything. In addition, during the day, I used the radio to spread the word, and the mole sent a message saying that their progress was going very smoothly. Before midnight, a third of the people in Jiangbei already knew about this.

Regardless of whether they will believe it or not, as long as someone hears it, someone will believe it. Now it depends on the committee's reaction.

The committee estimates that it won't be long before they find out about this, and once the matter has spread to a certain extent, virtually no one will object.

If the committee decides to take action to suppress the protests, it would be tantamount to admitting to what they have done.

In the middle of the night, a group of us gathered in the conference room to discuss this matter.

As the leader of Jiangbei, Su Mu said, "I estimate that the committee will be in chaos in less than two days. I will then return to Jiangbei and explain the situation to everyone. I think they will all be willing to stand by my side."

Pu Weichao nodded and said, "Yes, you will indeed play some role in the past, but the role will probably be very limited."

Su Mu was taken aback. "Why?"

Pu Weichao said, "When you were ousted from power, everyone thought you had encroached on their interests and treated them like your slaves. Even though many people now know the truth, I estimate that most of them would not believe you again even if they saw you again. Once a group of people have a fixed impression of someone, it is very difficult to change it."

"So I think even if you go, it won't change anything."

Su Mu started crying and making a fuss, "But if I'm not, who else is more suitable to lead them?"

Pu Weichao looked at me, which caught me off guard.

Su Mu turned to look at me and asked Pu Weichao, "You want Lu Xiaonan to go over there?"

Pu Weichao nodded, "Yes, he's the most suitable person right now. After all, he's the creator of the tripartite cooperation and the leader of the resort. Basically, everyone in Jiangbei has heard of him to some extent. I think there's no one more suitable than him to lead Jiangbei."

Hearing Pu Weichao's words, I said, "Do you really want me to go? Should we discuss it again?"

Pu Weichao stared at me. "There's nothing to discuss. Who here do you think is more suitable than you? You may not be a great manager, but you're good at leading others, especially in Jiangbei right now. I think many people heard what you did during the day and what you said on the radio. As long as you show up, someone will definitely recognize you. So, you're more suitable than anyone else for this."

Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that makes sense. Lu Xiaonan, you're the only one who can save Jiangbei right now."

Although I really wanted to decline, I knew that if I declined, there really wouldn't be a suitable candidate. So I could only say, "Alright, I'll handle this. The rest is up to you. Just tell me what to do."

Pu Weichao smiled and said, "No problem. What we need to do now is wait. According to my speculation, Jiangbei is currently very calm on the surface, but people are probably very uneasy behind the scenes, especially after seeing the extent of their martial law. I think the people living inside are under a lot of pressure."

"Sooner or later, all this pressure will explode."

We barely slept that night. A campfire was lit in the conference room. We initially thought we could hold on, since everyone was wearing thick clothes. But in the latter half of the night, we realized we couldn't hold on at all. Although the doors and windows were tightly closed, in the southern winter, it doesn't matter whether there are windows or not. The cold felt like it could freeze your soul.

Left with no other choice, we risked our lives to light a bonfire in the conference room for warmth and lighting.

The meeting lasted a long time, since many plans were discussed and agreed upon. Sometimes everyone had different ideas, even opposing ones. At this point, it was necessary to discuss which approach was more suitable for the current situation.

This was a very troublesome matter. I joined the discussion at first, but I found that my mind wasn't as quick as Pu Weichao's and Chu Yu's, so I had to give up.

In the end, the meeting room basically fell into two camps: one was Sister Chu Yujing and her group, and the other was Pu Weichao and Su Mu. As for the others, they would occasionally chime in, but most of the time, they were just listening to the debate.

I was too lazy to argue with them. Holding a cup of hot tea, I took a sip and felt warm all over.

Everyone was wrapped in thick blankets to keep warm.

Pu Weichao and Chu Yu argued incessantly.

Looking at the vibrant conference room in front of me, I suddenly felt quite fortunate; at least in this cold, apocalyptic world, I wasn't alone.

But thinking about this, I suddenly remembered Wu Shuang, who is far away in Hangzhou. She is all alone now, and I wonder how Longhu is doing. I imagine she must be quite upset.

Wu Shuang, wait for me. Once I've settled things in Jiangbei, I'll come back to find you right away.

I glanced at my watch and realized it was already four in the morning.

Pu Weichao and Chu Yu stopped arguing at this point.

Pu Weichao said with difficulty, "Alright, the plan is basically finalized now, but we'll have to wait and see how it's implemented. We can't predict what might happen right now."

Chu Yu said, "Let's wait for news from those traitors. As long as their news matches our expectations, we can then take action."
