"This world is far more complex than you imagine. Lu Yu was able to get promoted because he knows how to seize opportunities, how to use his connections, and more importantly, he knows how to make the right choices at critical moments."
Having said that, Lu Dongsheng retracted his gaze and looked at Mei Huarong again, with a bit more seriousness in his eyes.
"And you, Meihuarong, you're always so self-righteous, but have you ever considered that your so-called efforts and abilities might not even be worth mentioning in the eyes of your superiors? What you lack is the wisdom to assess the situation, the ability to understand people's hearts and grasp the overall situation."
Mei Huarong was speechless after hearing what Lu Dongsheng said. She opened her mouth but found that she had nothing to say. She had to admit that what Lu Dongsheng said was exactly what she had been ignoring.
"I...I..." Mei Huarong hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, "Perhaps, you are right. I do have a lot of areas that need improvement."
Seeing this, Lu Dongsheng couldn't help but feel secretly proud. He knew that his words had touched Mei Huarong's heart, causing her to reflect on her own shortcomings. And he wanted to use this opportunity to achieve his own goal.
"Meihuarong, I don't mean to attack you, but to make you understand a truth. There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. Only interests are eternal.
It’s true that Lu Yu is your son. If necessary, we can ignore these things.
When the higher-ups want to promote you, they only look at your strengths, and when they want to punish you, they only look at your mistakes. If my estimate is correct, Hua Rong, your position as the president of the Military General Hospital may be gone."
"Why? What did I do wrong?" Mei Huarong shouted, a little hysterically.
Lu Dongsheng quickly covered Mei Huarong's mouth and scolded him in a low voice: "Keep your voice down, do you think there are not enough people to lose?"
"But I..."
"You want to say you're not wrong, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Haven't you heard this saying? If someone says you're wrong, you're wrong, whether you're right or not. If someone says you're right, you're right, whether you're wrong or not. Do you dare to say that you haven't made a single mistake since you started working here?"
Mei Huarong was stunned, and suddenly thought of some red envelopes he had received from patients. He felt very at ease at that time, but now he suddenly felt that the money was hot.
Then, Lu Dongsheng whispered something that made Mei Huarong even more upset:
"I heard that the Ability Research Institute seems to have noticed the military. Someone directly pointed out our situation and said that if we are treated unfairly, they don't mind using special measures."
"What?"
Mei Huarong stood up suddenly and sat down again.
Her eyes were dull, and she murmured in a distraught manner:
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
"You have to be nicer to Lu Yu from now on, and of course, treat his wife better too. We can't give anyone a chance to criticize us. As long as we're alive, we have to learn to adapt to the rules and make use of all available resources." Lu Dongsheng's tone softened a bit when he said this. "No matter what, Lu Yu was born from your belly. No one can change that. That's why they haven't touched me yet."
Mei Huarong's eyes flashed with a complex expression when she heard this. She looked at Lu Dongsheng, as if she was thinking about something. Lu Dongsheng waited quietly for her answer. He knew he had to tell Mei Huarong that people need to be able to adapt to their environment.
Lu Dongsheng approached Mei Huarong and whispered mysteriously, "I also heard that the National Institute of Supernatural Powers seems to have taken a fancy to Lu Yu."
