Chapter 170 Extreme Cold. Ouyang's Little Secret
The next morning, Chu An left Gu Ye at home to do his exam papers. He hadn't studied for a long time, so he missed a lot of material. She went downstairs to throw away the garbage and observe the situation.
As soon as I went down to the tenth floor, I met Ouyang and very eagerly invited her to come in and sit down.
Chu An refused, there was nothing to talk about.
Ouyang refused to give up and advised with a bitter face, "Xiao An, Master Yin and the others haven't come back yet, so I can only discuss this with you. This matter concerns the safety of Building A, and I definitely didn't lie."
Yes, they saw the note left by Yin Tianlin on the day they came back. He used the same trick as the other two of them, and when he couldn't stuff it in, he just stuck it in the crack of the door.
She thought about it for a moment. As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The people who were targeting Qingrun Apartment probably didn't know that Li Qing had recovered and would not miss the opportunity to wash away their shame. The more places were taken care of by Li Qing, the more dangerous they were now.
"I'm not going to your house. Just follow me downstairs." Chu An said and continued walking downstairs.
Ouyang's eyes lit up and he hurried to catch up. As long as they could talk, they would go anywhere.
After going down the tenth floor, Ouyang kept talking. They were often robbed when they went out to look for supplies recently. Some robbers specifically waited for them to come back nearby. When they robbed, they also said that the boss would not let Building A go. If they wanted to survive, they had to prepare food.
"Oh, I don't know who I offended. It was never like this before."
They will call a meeting of all owners tomorrow night to vote on how to deal with the outside organization.
The first option is to take the initiative to negotiate with them and try to minimize the losses.
The second option is to strengthen protection and fight to the end.
The third option is to remain calm, wait and see what the other party does, and then respond accordingly.
Chu An sneered, how could the third option not be called giving up!
"What do you think?"
"I want to strengthen my defense and fight to the end. But I don't have much say, alas."
"You want to bring people up to the 11th floor to vote together?"
"Ah..." Ouyang said with a long pause, "There is someone in the building committee who is against me. He will definitely make trouble at night. I am afraid I can't control him. He wants to..."
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. What matters is how you think." Chu An interrupted him, "You need to make sure if there are other people in the building who support your point of view."
"Yes, many people support me, including Snow, Lao Li, and Luoyang." After saying Luoyang's name, he felt a little embarrassed, "Well, actually Luoyang is not a bad person..."
"Stop—" She didn't want to hear any nonsense, "If you finish, I'll go back."
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about Luoyang..."
"I remember you once said that in elementary school, you bought candies and cards for your classmates and asked for favors one by one in order to become the class monitor. Show your enthusiasm for choosing the class monitor in elementary school. Don't think that you don't need these childish behaviors when you grow up. Adults and children are the same."
"Ah - I see. What about tomorrow night?"
"I won't go. Yin Tianlin should be back tomorrow. I will tell them about this. I can't influence whether they go or not. Also, if you think your idea is right, just do it. Why should you care about other people? If the people in the building vote for you to kill people and set fire, will you go?"
After saying this, she laughed to herself and murmured, "Hey, maybe you can do it!"
Ouyang's face suddenly turned green. In the past, he had indeed been forced to do many things against his will.
When Chu An turned to go upstairs, he suddenly shouted, "I won't do that anymore. I won't kill anyone or set anything else on fire."
Chu An didn't look back. He hoped so. A person's character cannot be changed just by saying so, but at least he has the idea of changing, which is not bad.
The next day, Yin Tianlin did not come back as planned, but the voting downstairs went on as scheduled with great fanfare.
The voting result is to combine the first and second items.
It is tentatively planned that Liu Cheng will lead Li Yan, Zhao Wei, and Gao Chenghe to go out and scout the enemy situation, negotiate with them, and strive to maximize their interests.
Ouyang led the remaining members, Luoyang, Snow, Lao Li, and Han Shaogang to strengthen the defense inside the building and train the people in the building in self-defense capabilities.
One is in charge of external affairs and the other is in charge of internal affairs, and they do not interfere with each other.
As for the relationship with the 11th floor, there was no result.
Ouyang felt it was inappropriate to let Liu Cheng go, fearing that he would harm the people in the building. He wandered around at home for an hour, and bravely went up to the 11th floor. He couldn't get into the corridor, so he could only wait at the iron door, shaking it from time to time.
As a result, I waited until 1 a.m., but there was no movement. It was too cold, so I had to go back. I waited again the next morning.
When Gu Ye came out to throw away the garbage, he saw an arm inserted diagonally into the iron sliding door. Thinking someone was dead, he hurried over and saw Ouyang dozing off.
After listening to Chu An's story about what happened downstairs, he felt it necessary to tell her. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they were all from Building A, and it would be impossible for them to be let alone during the robbery.
After a while, Chu An came out sleepily, and Ouyang was still dozing off.
"Ahem..." Gu Ye cleared his throat, scaring Ouyang.
He jumped up and looked at the two of them with a smile.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Um..." Ouyang looked downstairs, fearing that someone might be trying to steal the wall. Seeing that it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, he whispered, "Yesterday's voting results were not exactly what I expected. Hey, Liu Cheng is taking people out to negotiate, and I'm responsible for strengthening the defenses in the building."
"That's good. Be prepared for both situations," Gu Ye was puzzled.
"The result was not the same when we first voted at around 4 o'clock. He held another round at around 10 o'clock last night. As a result... the wind direction changed. He must have used some tricks."
Seeing that his face was almost wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, Chu An guessed that both of them were up to some tricks, so no one dared to expose the other and could only wait and see the final result.
Gu Ye was a little puzzled. "This is not a bad thing. Let them negotiate. Why are you so anxious?"
"Just after the meeting, Liu Cheng asked everyone to gather food, saying that we cannot go to the negotiations empty-handed."
They are now at a disadvantage, so it is not impossible to show goodwill. This is a test of the ability of the negotiators. If the negotiations go well, both sides will be happy, but if the negotiations go badly, they will become more aggressive. They clearly wanted 100% of the benefits before, but now they want 20%.
"He wants the 11th floor to provide food as well?" Chu An asked.
"Yeah." Ouyang was a little embarrassed. "I didn't agree at first, but then I thought, I can use this opportunity to let you integrate into the group."
"No, we don't want to." Gu Ye refused very straightforwardly.
Ouyang explained, “Kids, I know you are doing well, but the situation outside is getting more and more serious, and no one knows what will happen in the future, so it is better to unite.
Hey, I didn't want to look for you guys in advance, and I wanted to see Liu Cheng come up and hit a wall, but then I thought, if someone really comes up, it is impossible for him not to go to the 11th floor.
If we keep opposing each other, it will only give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. It is better for us to unite. If you want, the 11th floor can also nominate one person to join the building committee."
"I'm afraid this is not something you can decide alone." Chu An was very worried about his position in the building committee. He might be kicked out of the position of building manager one day.
"If you can stand on my side, I will let you join the building committee no matter what." Ouyang finally said what was in his mind.
Chu An smiled lightly. The current situation is different from before. 906, 510 family, Nao Nao family, Long Face, Glasses Man and Zhang Wenge's group are all dead. No one in Building A dares to oppose them openly.
