Chapter 770 Pu Weichao's Conspiracy

Su Mu's words were a bit cheeky; he was trying to divert attention from what I was saying and prevent everyone from noticing the real meaning behind my words.

To be honest, I'm a bit disgusted with this guy. Chu Yu's analysis was right; this guy's goal is to achieve dictatorship and unification. Since that's the case, I'll just go along with your wishes.

I said, "That's right, I do want to be the president. Since none of the three parties and Sister Jing are willing to give in, then I'll do it. To you, I'm someone who is independent of the four communities. I think it's normal for me to be the president."

“This is very abnormal,” Su Mu was the first to object. “First, you don’t have the ability to be the president. You’ve never managed a community before, you don’t know the situation, and you don’t have the brains to mediate conflicts between communities. Second, even if you did become the president, achieving complete unification would be impossible because no one would respect you. Third, you’re not qualified.”

Although Su Mu's words sounded absurd, they were true. I understand that my abilities are limited, and I am indeed not good at management. As for making them submit, I'm afraid I can't do that either.

Pu Weichao said, "So it seems we can't reach an agreement."

Su Mu said, "So, follow my method..."

“Your method is utter bullshit,” Pu Weichao interrupted him without saying another word.

Bang! Su Mu slammed his hand on the table. "Pu Weichao, don't go too far."

"Hmph, I'm going too far? Su Mu, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If I really agreed with your idea, the resort would probably be gone by tomorrow morning, right?" Pu Weichao's words contained a lot of information.

Su Mu's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more.

No one is willing to back down, mainly because it involves their own interests. No one is willing to give up their own interests, as this will only make them lose the strength to fight against others.

However, the purpose of unification is to break up everyone's strength and then reintegrate them to form a new force, at which point there will be no longer any conflict of interest between anyone else.

No wonder Pu Weichao came up with this idea earlier. Indeed, I now have the urge to kill them all. If we kill them, the path to unification will basically take a step forward, with fewer obstacles. But the reality is that we can't kill them all. If we do, it will only cause even bigger trouble.

At this point in the meeting, no one was speaking anymore.

I said, "Let's leave it at that for now, meeting adjourned, take a break and then we'll discuss it again."

After I finished speaking, I left the room, and Pu Weichao followed me out.

When we came outside, Pu Weichao gave me a cigarette and said, "It's annoying, isn't it?"

I said, "Yeah, it's really annoying. I can't understand why they're so stubborn. Su Mu is the same, it's really annoying."

Pu Weichao said, "That's normal. Reaching an agreement isn't a simple matter; it takes time. If we can't reach an agreement today, we'll continue tomorrow. If that doesn't work tomorrow, we'll try again the day after. That's how we used to negotiate with clients when I was working at the company, until they agreed."

I said with some concern, "But what if it doesn't work? What if they really don't want to?"

Pu Weichao said, "Then we'll have to resort to force. If they don't listen, a beating will make them behave."

His words sounded a bit frivolous, and I didn't believe he could actually beat the other party up. I had no idea what to do next. The situation was now very clear: I couldn't be the president because I couldn't command respect. When I became the facilitator of the tripartite cooperation, it was mainly because they felt I lacked the ability to be easily manipulated that they agreed. Now that it's a serious matter, I want to be the president, and they obviously won't agree to it.

After all, becoming the president means having all the resources at your fingertips. Su Mu was unwilling, Yao Chengjie was even less willing, not to mention that old fox Xu Sanshui.

I have no idea what to do, but Pu Weichao is full of confidence. I really don't know what he's thinking.

I asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

Pu Weichao shook his head and said, "I can't do anything about it. They are stubborn, and we are stubborn too. Neither of us is willing to give up. I don't actually want to fight them, and they have the same idea. If we can talk, we'll continue talking; if we can't, we won't talk anymore, and we won't talk about it in the future. It's very difficult to resolve this. The only way is for them to attack directly from the dam side now. Maybe then we can unite to fight the enemy together, but that's not realistic, don't you think?"

That's really unrealistic.

The meeting continued without any substantial progress. Everyone seemed to understand that whatever was discussed next would not be as intense as before. In everyone's mind, a certain degree of restraint was maintained, including Pu Weichao's. It's unclear what he was thinking.

I have a feeling that this guy definitely has a plan for the future. Today's meeting was just a prelude. A person like him would never let them resist like this.

As for what happened next, I have no idea. Since he didn't tell me, it's clear that this matter had to be kept secret, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve.

I plan to ask Chu Yu after the meeting to see if she can give me an answer.

...

The meeting ended at 4:30 pm. Yao Chengjie and Xu Sanshui originally planned to go back, but Sister Jing persuaded them to stay and have dinner together.

I found Chu Yu, took her directly to the rooftop of the villa, and asked her the question directly.

Chu Yu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I think Pu Weichao must have a plan."

"What kind of plan?" I was really curious about what Pu Weichao's plans were.

Chu Yu said, "I'm not entirely sure about that either, but judging from his performance at the meeting just now, it shouldn't be a simple plan. There must be a lot involved, whether it's the impact on the dam, his threat just now, or his silence afterwards. He must be plotting something."

"Can't you tell either?" I asked.

Chu Yu shook his head and said, "I can't tell, but I guess he will definitely try to make the three parties fight amongst themselves. That should be true."

"Why?"

"I don't know, but he'll definitely do it. Right now, none of the three parties are happy to cooperate, and the most serious consequence would be infighting, which would then deplete their own resources. Pu Weichao's goal is probably to make the infighting happen sooner. But I'm not sure if that's really the case, because what he's expressing is too vague, and I can't figure it out at all."
