"It's so cold, I think that's enough."
"Yeah, yeah, he usually has a foul mouth and a bad temper, so don't take it to heart."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, someone finally spoke up. After all, if something really happened, the meeting wouldn't be able to be held today.
"You care about him so much, why don't you go together?" She glanced at him coldly, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
"Well……"
Everyone looked at each other and shut up. They could feel her seriousness and threat.
Everyone present here is a senior executive of Hope Shelter. Each of them controls certain resources and can be considered as holding scattered shares in the company.
Those who can sit at this table are all relatively powerful, and when it comes to actual interests, no one will make anyone unhappy.
That's why I wanted her to know her position before Zhao and Yan's families arrived.
Unexpectedly, he failed to show his power and almost hurt himself.
The conference hall fell silent again until there was a bang. The man's hands and feet were almost numb from the cold, and Lin Xingyou stopped.
"I don't want there to be a next time." This was her final warning.
The farce came to an end, and the two major forces in the shelter slowly arrived. The head of the Zhao family came in person, while Yan Ze represented the Yan family.
The Shen family has lost its former glory. Shen Yang, who arrived late, had two dark circles under his eyes and sat down opposite Lin Xingyou.
When he saw Lin Xingyou again, his face no longer had the arrogance he had before. Jealousy and viciousness flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to show it in such an occasion.
Patriarch Zhao cleared his throat twice and said, "As everyone knows, the Shen family's warehouse was breached yesterday. Patriarch Shen was furious and everyone felt deeply sorry for him."
At this point, Patriarch Zhao narrowed his cloudy eyes, making it impossible to discern any expression on his face, and the topic suddenly took a sharp turn.
"I hope that the establishment of the shelter cannot be separated from everyone. In the end times, only strength is the hard truth. Don't you agree?"
This ups and downs made Shen Yang who was standing beside him feel uneasy. As expected, the next words of the head of the Zhao family made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.
"For the safety of the shelter, I recommend Master Yan to take the position of the second-in-command of the shelter so that we can create a safe and stable place to live."
Yan Ze stood up and greeted with a smile on his face. His eyes, like black jade, were like the bottomless ocean.
"When strange things happen, the Yan family will provide the best protection for everyone."
This sentence is a promise, but also a threat with a hidden meaning.
In plain words, "If you dare to raise doubts, and something unexpected happens, the Yan family will never intervene."
You have both strength and supplies, but it also depends on whether you have the life to spend them. After all, weirdness is not a material existence.
"I don't agree!"
Shen Yang, who had been silently lowering his head, suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with anger, wishing he could engulf Yan Ze who was sitting above him.
His action caused the audience to burst into laughter, but the head of the Zhao family had a calm expression and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Even Yan Ze didn't say anything.
"Master Shen, oh no, Master Shen, why do you disagree?"
"Just relying on the few remaining supplies of the Shen family, or the loose psychics?"
"Hahaha, I haven't woken up from the dream of holding a lot of supplies."
"Tsk tsk, you really overestimate your own abilities!"
The conference hall was filled with boos and sarcastic voices, causing Shen Yang's face to instantly turn red.
At this moment, he was like a clown, bringing joy to everyone but without any deterrent power.
Seeing that Shen Yang was unable to refute the numerous comments, Patriarch Zhao finally spoke up:
"Nephew Shen, the Shen family is in a difficult period, and the shelter is full of things to do, so I'd better not trouble you."
His meaning was obvious.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You should go back and look after your father. Maybe he can give you some advice when he wakes up."
"Go!"
The laughter from the audience couldn't be suppressed at all, but no one cared.
Chen Yang's pride was completely shattered. Faced with the ridicule, he almost got into a fight with someone next to him. It was Yan Ze who spoke up to stop him.
"The Shen family is still here, be careful about your behavior."
No matter how dissatisfied Chen Yang was, he had to stop and finally sat down in anger.
Yan Ze's expression turned serious and he formally brought up the topic of today's meeting.
"We have gathered everyone today to compete for the position of the mainstay of the shelter. Everyone knows that the supplies lost by the Shen family are enough to shake the hope of the people in the shelter to survive."
"I would like to nominate someone..."
Before he finished speaking, the head of the Zhao family interrupted him and said, "The Shen family has suffered heavy losses, but the Zhao family is still there to back them up. The shelter will not be short of supplies for the time being."
"Nephew Yan would like to take this opportunity to introduce a powerful partner to everyone, who will continue to contribute to the shelter."
The head of the Zhao family smiled kindly, but his slightly narrowed eyes were shining with a cold light, and his flashing eyes were quickly transmitted to the people below.
He could never have imagined that after he rejected Yan Ze, this junior would dare to bring up the third-in-command of the shelter on such an important occasion.
Without waiting for Yan Ze to speak again, the head of the Zhao family stood up first and raised his hand to signal, "Let us welcome Miss Lin Xingyou to join us. The Castle in the Sky that everyone knows is the property under Miss Lin's name."
In an instant, the original discussion noise disappeared, replaced by all kinds of unfriendly looks.
Even the smiling head of the Zhao family felt a moment of fear and murderous intent when he glanced at Lin Xingyou.
Once Lin Xingyou's castle in the air came out, the interests of many people in the shelter were affected.
As the topic master, Lin Xingyou stood up leisurely and started to introduce himself in a brisk manner:
"Hello everyone, I am the owner of the Sky Castle. I believe that even if you have not been there, you have heard of it. Sky Castle welcomes everyone."
"I have everything here. As long as it is related to survival, you can come to the Castle in the Sky to buy it, including everyone's personal safety."
She said the last sentence very seriously, and you couldn't tell that she was lying at all.
As everyone was excited, the sense of crisis in their hearts became more and more serious. Faced with such temptation, one of them still chose to speak:
"Who do you think we are? Who can sit at this table? Who is less wealthy than you?"
When he said the last sentence, his eyes were a little vague and he was obviously feeling very guilty.
"Yeah, don't look down on us."
Among the large group of people at the table, only these two dared to question what Lin Xingyou said.
Others understood that supplies were the hard currency in the end times, and even with the signal from Patriarch Zhao, they had no intention of offending Lin Xingyou and damaging their own interests.
Hearing this, Lin Xingyou, contrary to his usual behavior, did not argue with them. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and tilted his head playfully.
"There's no limit to the amount of supplies you can buy at Castle in the Sky!"
Everyone's heart was beating even harder, and their burning eyes almost stared a hole through Lin Xingyou.
The head of the Zhao family at the head was almost furious. He never thought that such an important occasion would be used by Lin Xingyou as a sales channel.
After seeing her actions, Yan Ze did not mention the matter of the third-in-command again. He just mentioned it in a few words until the meeting was adjourned.
As soon as he left the meeting room, Lin Xingyou ran into Fu Yuan who came to look for the head of the Zhao family. He looked hurried, and his face looked more haggard after just one night.
"Wait for me, don't walk so fast."
Li Yanyan, who followed behind him, looked even more listless and withdrawn, with no trace of her original spirit at all.
"I told you not to follow me. I have something important to do."
The man shook off the hand on his arm and looked at the woman with only disgust in his eyes.
The two were in a hurry, and during the argument, Li Yanyan almost bumped into Lin Xingyou.
She dodged to the side, her tone was full of undisguised disgust, "I am not part of your paly, if you want to flirt stay away from me."
Fortunately, she reacted quickly.
Otherwise you'll be hit by something dirty!
"Why are you here?"
Li Yanyan frowned, with dissatisfaction showing on her face.
"Come to the meeting, can't you?"
Lin Xingyou looked relaxed, but Li Yanyan's expression changed again and again when she heard her answer.
Tang Yi, who came later, saw these two crazy men and women and looked at Lin Xingyou hurriedly, "Are you okay?"
Lin Xingyou raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
There will be something that can never be her.
Of course Tang Yi knew that she was afraid that Lin Xingyou would get excited and kill Li Yanyan directly.
She would rather take action against her enemies herself.
"I'm sorry to bother you."
Fu Yuan pulled Li Yanyan over with such force that she almost fell to the ground.
Even though she was treated like this, Li Yanyan just stood obediently behind Fu Yuan. She was extremely silent, which was totally unlike her usual style.
How strange!
Tang Yi stood beside her and said calmly, "After what happened at the engagement party, Fu Yuan officially broke up with Shen Yang. Between the two, Li Yanyan finally chose Fu Yuan and completely stood on the opposite side of Shen Yang."
"I don't understand her at all. Although the Shen family is in decline, it still has some foundation. Fu Yuan has nothing except the disintegrating Dawn Team."
Tang Yi's face flashed with a hint of confusion, "With her vain and selfish personality, she ended up choosing the much-discounted Fu Yuan."
She could see clearly that Shen Yang's dog-licking personality was also due to Li Yanyan giving him some sweet treats from time to time.
Lin Xingyou sneered, "Maybe this is true love!"
Tang Yi:? ...
"True love can even give the treasure that one has worked so hard to obtain to a scumbag like Zhao Yue after joining the Zhao family." Tang Yi sneered.
A flash of surprise flashed across Lin Xingyou's eyes, "He doesn't want the supplies on Li Yanyan?"
Tang Yi's face flashed with contempt, "Even so, Li Yanyan still clung to Fu Yuan and even took out supplies to please Fu Yuan."
She doesn't understand.
In the end times, supplies are so precious, this is simply an idiotic thing to do.
Tang Yi was puzzled, but Lin Xingyou could guess a little bit. Li Yanyan was reborn, so she should bet on Fu Yuan.
Unfortunately, she can only daydream!
Raising his hand to take a piece of residual snow, Lin Xingyou said in a deep voice: "When are you going to take action?"
"Just these few days." Tang Yi replied.
"ASAP!"
After that, Lin Xingyou left quickly, leaving Tang Yi alone standing in the snow, feeling the cold.
Mom and Dad, I'll send her to be with you right away.
