Chapter 119 Summation
Mingzhao is wearing a bulletproof vest and has a shield. In addition, she has the skill [Five-Point True God].
Even if the other party is bluffing, she can quickly return to her ship with the Five-Point True God skill.
Having made thorough preparations, Mingzhao took out the zipline and slid onto Xiaowei's boat.
Xiao Wei seemed a little embarrassed when she saw her, and wanted to say something.
Let the bullets fly for a while, then gently patted her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
In the end, Xiaowei said nothing.
Mingzhao followed the two into a room that resembled a reception room.
If you look closely, you'll see that every room on the Xiaowei Cruise Ship is exquisitely decorated.
There are also meeting rooms, exhibition halls, and other rooms that are almost never used in the game "The Great Voyage".
I have no idea where she got all that furniture.
Compared to this, Mingzhao's own ship was practically a shabby dwelling.
The reception room they were in was a very warm and comfortable room.
The entire space features a warm wood tone, and the furniture is also made of wood.
Soft cushions and decorations were placed on it. There were also a few green plants on the window.
All of this fits the impression Xiaowei gives off.
It's just a mystery how she managed to maintain such a refined lifestyle in this precarious world of maritime exploration.
Seeing Mingzhao staring blankly at the room, Xiaowei and Let the Bullets Fly exchanged a glance.
Xiao Wei actually spoke first.
"I think there is indeed some misunderstanding between us. We have come here with sincerity. We are acquaintances, so let me introduce you. This is Lu Ming, the founder and head of the company."
Lu Ming smiled and extended his hand to Ming Zhao.
"Hello, Miss Xiao Hong. I'm Lu Ming. I've heard Xiao Wei and other employees talk about you before. You're always the center of attention."
For reasons unknown, this person neither called her by her online name nor asked for her real name, but instead used the obviously fake name she had used when introducing herself to Xiaowei.
It seems to be an attempt to show that one is an open and honest person, with no need to hide anything.
However, Mingzhao wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal her real name just because the other party seemed open and honest.
Who knows if Lu Ming's name is real or fake? And what if the other party has some cursed item that requires knowing the real name to use?
This is a game about sailing the seas, anything is possible. Mingzhao had heard of similar items in his previous life.
Mingzhao didn't shake hands with him, just in case he had some skill that required physical contact to activate.
He simply nodded.
"I've heard so much about you. I never imagined that the founder of this mysterious company would be so young."
Lu Ming withdrew his hand, not angry, but with a smile on his face.
“I’m not as young as I look. Would you like to take a look? Xiao Wei’s boat is a specially built reception boat that only invites important guests.”
Mingzhao shook her head. The reception room didn't seem dangerous at the moment; she had already checked it with her Clear Vision.
But if she goes somewhere else, who knows what awaits her?
“Mr. Lu Ming, Ms. Xiao Wei, there’s no need for formalities and unnecessary talk. The reason I’ve taken the risk to come here is to find out what you really want to say to me. Let’s get straight to the point and state your purpose.”
Mingzhao's words seemed polite, but in reality, they were somewhat powerless.
Xiao Wei glanced at Lu Ming, seemingly a little worried.
But Lu Ming seemed completely unmoved, his gentle expression remaining unchanged.
"Miss Xiao Hong is a very straightforward person. Let's not beat around the bush, I'll just say it directly."
“Our company has suffered significant losses recently, and of course, I don’t intend to blame it all on you.”
"After all, we understand that our employees have better options and are therefore free to leave. We did not do a good job in the previous frozen sea area, and I am reflecting on that."
"But for some reason, you seem to be very hostile towards us. This is a game of great navigation, where everyone needs to cooperate to survive. Pointless disputes will only waste resources. I think Miss Little Red should understand this as well."
Mingzhao understood Lu Ming's meaning; he had come to sue for peace.
But is it really that simple?
The moonlight in the city told her that Lu Ming had suddenly emerged from seclusion. If he only wanted to talk, why would he have needed to prepare for so long?
Since things have come to this, let's try to engage with him and see if we can find out their true intentions.
“I understand what you mean, but this is a difficult situation. You see, I finally built up my own power in my original service area, and then the servers merged, everyone joined the company, and we can't even trade anymore. If you were me, what would you choose to do?”
Mingzhao deliberately stated her desires very bluntly, as if her dissatisfaction with the company stemmed only from the loss of personnel and the damage to profits, rather than from any opinion about the company itself.
The reason for doing this was that Mingzhao also wanted to know the other party's true purpose.
If one acts in a highly virtuous manner and launches a moral condemnation against the company's philosophy.
Lu Ming would then respond with some platitudes, reiterating the company's philosophies that Ming Zhao was already tired of hearing.
Only by first presenting a seemingly genuine idea can you make the other party feel that there is something to talk about, and thus reveal your true purpose.
Sure enough, Lu Ming smiled even more brightly after hearing her words, revealing an expression that said, "I understand."
“Miss Xiaohong, we were indeed wrong in this matter. I have already spoken with several senior executives of the company and asked them to apologize to you when they have time. I hope you can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against them.”
"Regarding the issue you raised, I've also considered a solution. See if it's acceptable to you. We could both serve in senior management positions within the company, or if you're not satisfied with the current company structure, anything else is fine."
Mingzhao found Lu Ming's words increasingly strange.
Judging from his tone, it seems he also has some reason why he must be in a high position.
“Mr. Lu Ming, since we’re going to do business, we should be honest with each other. I’d like to know why you’re so insistent on establishing this kind of collective structure. We all know that it’s already difficult enough to survive in the Great Voyage game. You can’t possibly be thinking of saving the world, can you?”
Lu Ming looked at Ming Zhao as if he had found a kindred spirit.
“Miss Xiao Hong, I knew you were someone who could understand me when Xiao Wei mentioned you.”
"Most of the people who participate in the Great Voyage are greedy, selfish, cowardly, and extremely foolish. I don't think you'll have any objections to that. Of course, I don't want to sacrifice my own interests to serve them."
"But for rulers, such subjects are the easiest to control."
