The indifferent voice contained no emotion, but Hu Xiaodong's ears smelled something bad.
The middle-aged man's words sounded unremarkable, but combined with Lao Xu's previous related questions and answers, could it be that... the other party was going to have a showdown?
My heartstrings couldn't help but tighten. If this middle-aged man had a showdown, it would be no joke.
Hu Xiaodong had a hunch that the middle-aged man's next words might be quite sharp.
"Captain, what's the problem?" Lao Xu replied calmly.
"What I want to ask you is, did you really build this team for the sake of the venue?"
Sure enough, Hu Xiaodong's pupils swelled.
Just as he expected, the middle-aged man finally asked this question.
Just like Lao Xu Shicai's straightforward self-recommendation, the middle-aged man's current problem is also quite straightforward.
The two of them seemed to be discussing it right now. After going round and round and competing back and forth, they finally took off their pretense and decided to "be honest with each other."
Looking at Lao Xu, Hu Xiaodong looked a little solemn.
As for Lei Tong, he was holding the thing in his hand tightly. He didn't care what would happen next, and he wasn't worried whether Old Xu would anger the middle-aged man and make him give some drastic orders.
In Lei Tong, the middle-aged man accepts Lao Xu's proposal. If he doesn't accept it and asks the inspection and management team below to cause trouble, there is nothing to say. His knife has long been thirsty.
He doesn't mind cleaning up the gym.
Anyway, what these members of the inspection and management team in the gymnasium did in the past, killing them was an act of justice.
"Captain, of course my proposal is for the sake of the museum. I don't understand why you are asking this, captain." Lao Xu did not answer directly. He waited for the middle-aged man to show his cards to him.
Sure enough, after Lao Xu answered this ambiguously and knowingly, the middle-aged man followed up: "Do you really not understand what I mean, or do you want to hide it from me on purpose?"
Lao Xu didn't answer.
"Forget it, since you don't understand... Haha, let me get it straight. Do you want to do this to build a team for yourself?"
Nodding, it was not a bad thing for Lao Xu that the other party could say this.
This is not a good thing.
But this is also something that is tacitly understood.
Whether it's Lao Xu or the middle-aged man himself, everyone is aware of each other's problems.
When this happens, instead of hiding it, it is better to point it out in the open.
"Yes, I want to build a team myself!" Lao Xu replied affirmatively.
"Old Xu, you..." He couldn't bear it anymore. What Lao Xu said must have made Hu Xiaodong almost instinctive.
Good guy, he never expected that Lao Xu would reply like this.
The most important thing is that Hu Xiaodong couldn't believe that Lao Xu really wanted to pull a team by himself?
What does he want this team to do? To overthrow a middle-aged man?
It's impossible. Lao Xu is not the kind of ambitious person.
If he really was, he wouldn't be able to become the leader of his own team.
Then why did Lao Xu give such a definite answer? Doesn't he know that such an answer will irritate the middle-aged man?
Or is it that Lao Xu just wanted to stimulate the middle-aged man to go crazy today?
Hu Xiaodong was really confused by Lao Xu at the moment, and he couldn't figure out Lao Xu's thinking.
The Lao Xu in front of him now is completely different from the Lao Xu he knew in the past.
What Lao Xu said today was completely inconsistent with common sense and understanding of that person.
And just when Hu Xiaodong was worried.
Lao Xu's straightforward answer received a reply from the middle-aged man.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" laughed three times for no reason.
It's just that these three laughters coming from the stage are a bit...cautious.
It was obvious that this middle-aged man's laughter contained a different meaning.
Sure enough, after the laughter stopped, the middle-aged man said coldly in a low voice: "Okay, you are quite frank and don't hide it at all. I like to deal with people who are frank, so please tell me, you keep saying this To pull the team together…what’s the purpose?”
"Purpose? There is only one! It is what I said before, to deal with the crisis in the museum."
"Really? Is it really just for the crisis in the museum?"
"Of course, captain, I have to do what you tell me to do seriously. I just listen to the captain, but it seems that there are doubts about what I said and what I did? If so, I also hope that the captain can make it clear. I said, now the venue must want to Stability requires unity and trust. This trust is two-sided. I trust you, captain, and I have to ask the captain to give me support. So if there is anything I do that does not satisfy the captain, I ask the captain to explain it to me directly. I am People are stupid and don’t know how to take detours!”
Lao Xu still said frankly.
He is determined to force middle-aged people to laugh with his honesty.
After hearing Lao Xu's self-analysis, the middle-aged man didn't have much reaction: "It doesn't matter whether you question or not question. Since you mentioned unity and trust, I won't bother saying a word to you."
"What word captain?"
"I think you must have heard the saying that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, right?"
This is Chi Guoguo’s clear statement.
Although the middle-aged man said this sentence is still a hint, the content is self-evident.
What he wanted to express through these words was obvious to everyone present, who was not a fool.
"Of course!" Lao Xu affirmed: "As a Chinese, how can I not understand the truth of this word? But I don't understand why the captain said this. Does the captain think that I will become the "tiger" that challenges you? "
"Hmph, it's not easy to become a "tiger" who can challenge me. At least you don't have this ability now." The middle-aged man replied confidently.
After hearing this, Lao Xu smiled and asked: "If that's the case, why did the captain use this word alone to say it? I don't think the captain just made up the word casually and said it as a joke, right?"
This matter was naturally not a joke, Lao Xu knew very well what the other party wanted to express.
But at this juncture, it is the right thing to turn against the guests.
Lao Xu definitely can't jump into the trap by himself. The best way to encounter this kind of confrontation is to retreat before advancing, see what the other party says, and then show off his tactics and move forward step by step.
"You don't have the ability to challenge me now, but...hehe, it's not necessarily the case that this team wants you to fight, right?" A rhetorical question further intensified the situation.
Hu Xiaodong was listening with his fists clenched tightly.
He wanted to interrupt, but his hand was in Lao Xu's hand.
Besides, at this time, he really had no chance to interrupt.
After all, Lao Xu made the decision on this matter without authorization and did not discuss it with him and Lei Tong.
It was agreed before that they were just here to ask about material supplies, but now Lao Xu actually evolved the situation step by step to the point of clarifying his position with the middle-aged man.
The most important thing is that even Hu Xiaodong can't understand what Lao Xu is clearly stating now.
But things have developed to this point, and Hu Xiaodong is no longer able to reverse it.
