Chapter 621 Management
Following my instructions, Old Li sent people to search the old house on the west side. After about an hour or two, they did find some items.
It was leftover food from those people. Although several days had passed, the appearance of this leftover food was quite abrupt compared to other things.
Zhu Zhenhao learned of this news not long after.
He called a meeting and asked, "Lu Xiaonan, you were the one who ordered the search of the old house in the west. Now that they've found those things, what do you think we should do about it?"
I thought for a moment and said, "Wait."
Everyone was puzzled, and Zhu Zhenhao was also surprised, "Wait? Why?"
I said, "Because we don't know who the people who attacked this place are, or where their headquarters are, it's unrealistic to find them in a short time. We can only wait. I think if they want to come back to kill or steal again, they will definitely show up again."
Zhu Zhenhao asked, "How can you be so sure they'll show up again?"
I said, "I'm not sure, this is just my guess. Maybe they won't come back. But... I'm inclined to think they will come back, and even if they don't, the headquarters needs to increase patrols. If the patrols are increased, we might be able to prevent it from happening in the first place."
Zhu Zhenhao said, "You mean we should use patrols to prevent them from coming here?"
I said, “Patrols can’t prevent it. If they want to come again, they will definitely find a way to get in again. They won’t give up easily. The only way is to keep an eye on them. If they show up here, as long as we keep an eye on them, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Zhu Zhenhao looked at the others and asked, "Does anyone have any other ideas?"
Basically, no one spoke.
I glanced at everyone present and noticed that many of them were fair-skinned and dressed very neatly; one was even wearing a suit. It seemed life at this headquarters was indeed very comfortable.
If it were the central town, anyone trying to launch a sneak attack would be courting death. Of those who successfully attacked the central town, only Pu Weichao succeeded; there's practically no one else who has attempted to do so.
As for this base camp, judging from their situation, they seem to have been living in comfort for too long and have completely forgotten what kind of society exists outside. If things continue like this, it won't be long before this place completely collapses on its own, without any outside attacks.
You can tell from their current state that they feel that as long as someone offers advice, that's enough. As for themselves, they can live peacefully without having to stand out.
If I were to launch a surprise attack on this place, Hu Fei and I alone could easily wipe it out.
I glanced at Zhu Zhenhao and noticed that he looked disappointed. Clearly, he was very disappointed, even utterly disappointed, with the group of people in front of him.
"Dismissed. Lu Xiaonan, you stay behind."
Zhu Zhenhao stopped me, and everyone else left.
Zhu Zhenhao told the others in the room to leave and close the door.
Zhu Zhenhao looked at me and sighed, saying, "The way you looked at me just now seemed to be observing this group of people. Did you think they were beyond saving?"
I nodded and said, "They're truly beyond saving. They've completely lost interest in the outside world. If this continues, they'll basically become useless. If they were even slightly more useful, I don't think what happened the day before yesterday would have occurred."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. They were the ones who set up this base in the first place. If I were to drive them away now, this base would probably fall into complete chaos, and I wouldn't be able to stay here anymore. Actually, the reason I moved to the office building is because of this. At least the people there are motivated, unlike here, where they take forever to get anything done."
I said, "There's nothing we can do about it. This base has never received any threats, and living such a peaceful life all along is bound to lead to this."
Zhu Zhenhao looked at me and said, "So, I have a task for you."
The moment I heard those words, I immediately understood what he wanted me to do. This bastard had brought me here with him for this very reason.
Zhu Zhenhao laughed and said, "This morning I saw you training those guys in the office building until they were exhausted and dared not resist. So, I was wondering if you could stay here and help clean up this headquarters, make them aware of the crisis, so that they can continue to survive in the future."
I sighed and asked, "Can I refuse?"
Zhu Zhenhao shook his head and said, "You can't refuse. I can't find anyone else besides you right now. Those guys basically shirk their responsibilities whenever possible, and if they can't shirk them, they just pass the buck. This situation can't continue any longer. I need your help. I need you to help me clean up the whole headquarters."
I said with a wry smile, "That's a bit difficult. There are about a hundred people here, and getting them all to obey won't be easy."
Zhu Zhenhao said, "There's no need to make everyone obey. Just make a small group of people obey. People tend to follow the crowd. Once that small group obeys, the others will basically follow suit and obey the organization's arrangements."
I said with a wry smile, "It's not that simple."
Zhu Zhenhao said, "How about we make a bet?"
“No, I never gamble,” I said decisively.
"..." Zhu Zhenhao was speechless. "How do you plan to resolve this matter?"
Wait a minute, I don't think I agreed to this yet, right? When did I say I wanted to resolve this matter?
Zhu Zhenhao then asked, "Don't hesitate or refuse. Only you can do this right now. If you can't do it, then basically no one else can."
I asked, "Why don't you do it?"
Zhu Zhenhao said, "As their leader, wouldn't it be a bit excessive for me to do everything myself? I still need a bit of mystery. If I reveal too much about myself, and they know too much, they might distrust me even more. So this matter is up to you. I suggest you start with the management, those people who came to the meeting just now. If you're willing, I can call another meeting with them right now."
I quickly said, "No need, no need. Okay, I can help you with this, but I don't know if I can achieve your goal. If I can't, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
