The other team leaders all began to point their fingers at Yuan Cheng, who was sitting in his seat, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, his entire back instantly soaked with sweat.
"Alright, Captain Yuan, let's talk. I, Lu Yuan, am not targeting you. I'm already quite grateful that everyone has been able to live peacefully during this time. It's understandable that some people can't resist other people's sweet talk."
Lu Yang's words were meant to give Captain Yuan a way out. Whether the other party could hold on to him depended on whether he was truly loyal to him or was actually a spy sent by Liu Tianhu.
Yuan Cheng suddenly stood up, kicked the chair behind him away, and knelt down in front of everyone with tears streaming down his face, kowtowing repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry everyone. I was confused for a moment and listened to Liu Tianhu's slander. Please give me another chance, President Lu. I want to atone for my crime and don't want to leave here." As he said this, Yuan Cheng was already in tears, and there was a bruise on his forehead from hitting the ground.
He knocked everyone down, but a few captains who were close to him stood up, disregarding their previous friendship, and pointed at Yuan Cheng, cursing him fiercely.
"Yuan Cheng, I've always considered you a brother, and you actually tried to ruin our team! I must have been blind to have ever considered you a brother!"
"You surnamed Yuan, I never thought you were this kind of person. Have you forgotten who gave us the opportunity to come here in the first place, after receiving such small favors from others? You couldn't resist a little bit of persuasion and defected to the enemy. Now you can leave."
"Hmph, it's better not to let this kind of person stay in the team. Keeping him around will only cause trouble sooner or later. President Lu, why don't you just fire him? We'll stick with you through this. I don't believe that this water and power outage can continue indefinitely."
"..."
The crowd began to criticize Yuan Cheng, which turned Yuan Cheng's face ashen. He slumped to the ground, not knowing how to plead for mercy. He could only look at Lu Yuan with a pitiful expression in his eyes.
Lu Yuan sighed, raised his hand to quell the commotion, and immediately everyone stopped their verbal attacks.
The man quietly walked up to Yuan Cheng and helped him up with both hands: "I already said that I didn't mean to target you. It seems that you have seriously realized your mistake. I'll give you another chance today. Perform well in the company in the future. However, you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes. Starting today, you will start as an ordinary worker. If you perform well, I can promote you to team leader. Are you satisfied with this decision?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan say that he had only been demoted to the rank of ordinary team member, Yuan Cheng's eyes immediately flashed with gratitude, and then he burst into tears and began to kneel down in worship.
"Mr. Lu, you're not satisfied? I accept it. As long as you don't kick me out of the company, I'll do anything you ask. I'll definitely perform well and never hold our company back again."
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then reached out and pressed down again.
"Alright, now that everyone has come to me and we've talked things out, let's consider this matter closed. After this year, I don't want anyone spreading negative information in our company anymore. Also, since we're all gathered here today, I'll take this opportunity to share some internal information with you. But I'm telling you beforehand, this information cannot be told to anyone, understand?"
"Understood, Mr. Lu. We promise not to tell anyone."
Everyone gave the same answer.
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then turned to look at his secretary and whispered a few words in her ear. The secretary quickly left the meeting room and returned shortly afterward, this time carrying a portable projector.
Then Lu Yuan took a USB flash drive out of his pocket, plugged it into the projector, and pressed the power button.
Soon, the projector emitted a blinding light, shining on the wall behind it. The scene on the screen showed Hei Zi and his group leading a group of people installing and debugging geothermal power generation equipment in a scorching lava field.
The scene quickly shifted, focusing on several workers carrying heavy equipment with rolls of electrical wires covered in heat-insulating and radiation-proof film. The wires were slowly emerging from the geothermal power generation equipment and moving into the distance. A small detail that everyone noticed was that a small light in the distance from the geothermal power generation equipment emitted a dazzling light when the switch was pressed.
Yuan Cheng swallowed hard, then asked cautiously, "President Lu, has our... power problem been resolved?"
Lu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded: "As I just said, these problems are not difficult for us. Moreover, our people have already had the generator set equipment modified for geothermal power generation. The test operation is going very smoothly. If I'm not mistaken, we will be able to get power tonight. Everyone should get a good rest tonight, and we will officially start work tomorrow."
Lu Yuan's words were like a shot of adrenaline to everyone's vital arteries, instantly filling them with hope and causing them to clench their fists in excitement.
"I knew we couldn't possibly be stuck here because of a tiny power outage, otherwise Mr. Lu wouldn't have asked us to wait here like this."
"Yeah, a living person can't be killed by holding their pee. Tonight I can finally have a proper meal. I need to call my wife."
