At this moment, Lu Yuan was in his room, continuing to ponder the memories in his mind.
After finishing the concrete work last night, he couldn't fall asleep anymore and kept thinking about it while lying in bed.
He dared not sleep, fearing that when he woke up, all those dreams would disappear.
Suddenly, the phone on the table rang.
Lu Yuan picked up the phone casually.
"I am Lu Yuan!"
"Lu Yuan, this is Chen Zhongzheng!"
"Uncle Chen? Is something the matter?"
"Oh! Just wondering, have you finished dealing with things on your end? Do you need any help?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Chen. Everything is settled! There's no need to worry about things here!"
"That's good! I didn't expect you to handle this all by yourself!"
"Yes! By the way, Uncle Chen, what's up with the call?"
Chen Zhongzheng thought for a while before speaking, "It's like this! The refugees outside are demanding negotiations with us! The negotiations are scheduled for 7 PM tonight! So I wanted to tell you about it!"
"Oh! This matter? It's alright, Uncle Chen. You're the highest-ranking officer in the fortress now, so make the decision yourself!"
Chen Zhongzheng shook his head with a wry smile. Although he was now the highest-ranking official in the entire region, the problem was that these core management personnel were still Lu Yuan's old subordinates.
They were basically all on Lu Yuan's side, so he had to ask Lu Yuan for his opinion.
"So what do you mean?"
After explaining the purpose of their negotiations to Lu Yuan, Chen Zhongzheng asked again.
After listening for a moment, Lu Yuan immediately understood the purpose of Chen Zhongzheng's call.
"Uncle Chen, as I've already said, you're now the highest-ranking official in the entire region, so you can make the decisions. As for my thoughts, of course, you can think whatever you want, really! There's no need to worry about my opinion! Besides, I no longer live inside the fortress! As long as you can manage the fortress well, that's all that matters!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Chen Zhongzheng sighed and could only nod in the end.
"Alright then! I'll handle this! But don't worry, I won't let them in!"
Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled wryly. Chen Zhongzheng was still somewhat worried that he would disagree with his idea.
Therefore, Chen Zhongzheng always sought his opinion whenever dealing with such a major issue.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan hung up the phone and then pondered for a moment.
"Forget it! Let's talk to Lao Zhou and the others first! Otherwise, Uncle Chen's superiors will probably be in a tough spot!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan picked up the phone again and dialed Zhou Tong's number.
When the call connected, Zhou Tong's voice sounded tired.
"Hey bro, how's things going on your end? Is everything all sorted out?"
"Yes! It's all done! Don't worry!"
"Oh! That's good! What did you need me for?"
"By the way, it seems like Uncle Chen's superiors are facing obstacles at every turn! Are you guys constantly working against him?"
Zhou Tong was taken aback after hearing this: "No! We always reach a conclusion through meetings and then implement it!"
"Alright! From now on, you should all show some respect to Uncle Chen! After all, he's the regional commander, and I'm no longer in that position! So, you don't need to ask me for my opinion on everything!"
Lu Yuan's words were not very clear, after all, he had to give Chen Zhong and Zhou Tong face.
Zhou Tong understood what Lu Yuan meant, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm! Okay! I'll tell them later! But are you really not planning to come back?"
"No! I've made my decision! I won't go back to leadership! You guys are enough! Besides! My dimensional space has disappeared! And I don't have any special abilities to assist me anymore!"
"Sigh! Okay! I'll tell them now!"
Lu Yuan nodded and continued, "By the way, Lao Zhou, when are you and your wife planning your wedding?"
"Hey, don't even mention it! This super storm really came at the worst possible time. Let's talk about it later! Once things have calmed down and everything has settled down, then we can discuss the wedding!"
"Alright! Then you should tell them now! Don't put Uncle Chen in a difficult position!"
"No problem! I know what to do!"
So, after hanging up the phone, Chen Zhongzheng immediately told them about it.
Everyone felt very sorry after hearing this, and they were still hoping that Lu Yuan could lead them again.
Now it seems that Lu Yuan has really given up this right.
The midday meeting went fairly well, and Chen Zhongzheng finally gained everyone's approval, though he was still somewhat frustrated.
He didn't particularly crave the power in his hands, but it was as if Lu Yuan had discarded it and he was picking it up again.
Fortunately, everyone was very cooperative with his work, and he knew that this would take time.
At 7 p.m., Guo Jialiang led three people into the fortress.
Behind them were densely packed refugees, all staring at the four of them with pleading eyes, as if those gazes had weight, making it hard for them to breathe.
Guo Jialiang arrived at the conference building, led by a soldier.
The four were then led to a large conference room.
However, none of the people in the conference room came; only a few waiters were busy setting up the venue.
