After hearing his solution, the strong men under the leading brother not only did not speak to respond to him, but instead lowered their heads in dejection, with expressions of despair on their faces, just like the solution that the leading brother had just come up with. Instead of saving them, we are sending them to their death.
After the leader saw their reaction, he was very puzzled. He thought that I had spent a long time and finally came up with a wonderful way to save them. Why didn't these people praise me after listening to my words? , thanked me, but on the contrary, they were as listless as a dead mother, not even saying a word. Are they so unsure of this idea I thought of?
Thinking of this, the leading brother was very angry. He looked at these people solemnly and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Have you become mute one by one? I have finished speaking, why don't you tell me what you think? Now we are in a different situation. In an emergency, you may lose your life at any time. If you have any objections to the method I have come up with, just say it directly. What problem can you solve by pretending to be dead like this?"
The strong men who were disappointed with the big brother in the lead couldn't help but become nervous when they saw that he was a little angry, because they all knew the temper of the big brother in the lead. In such a crisis, if he really made him angry, they must not have done anything well. Eat the fruit.
They exchanged glances with each other, hesitating in their hearts whether to tell the leader their true thoughts.
After communicating with each other with their eyes, they finally came to the conclusion that stretching one's head means death, and shrinking one's head means death. Instead of swallowing their anger and dying in confusion, it is better to speak clearly to the leader.
After making up their mind, the strong men gathered around the leading brother and said one after another: "Brother, we all know that you racked your brains to come up with such a way to save us. We should be grateful to you. But your method is really a bit ridiculous.
The crisis we are facing now, although the danger comes from the side of the great benefactor, in fact, to put it bluntly, the most fundamental reason for this crisis is our own dissatisfaction and cowardice, which has something to do with that door what relationship?
Even if we turn that door into powder and mix it with water and drink it into our stomachs, it will not be helpful in solving our current predicament. After all, we need to be strong to forge the iron. Only by holding back can we completely get rid of the current predicament. "
The leader of the group thought that under his intimidation, these strong men would reveal their true colors and show weakness to him. But what he never expected was that the performance of this group of men actually exceeded his expectations. They Not only did they not give in, but they responded tit for tat, showing a fearless look, arguing with themselves, and even when they were emotionally excited, they belittled the solution they came up with to the point where they were almost torn apart. , scolding myself for being a useless piece of trash.
Faced with the rude treatment of his brothers by his brothers, the leader couldn't accept it for a while. He wanted to get angry immediately and teach these strong men a lesson so that they could understand the rules. When talking to him, Pay attention to your tone.
But at the last moment, he suppressed this impulsive thought, because he understood that in this tense situation, no matter how angry he was, it would be difficult for them to convince themselves when dealing with these strong men. Rather than making the situation worse, it is better to calm down, think carefully about how to deal with it, and then show affection to these strong men and show them reason, so that they understand their painstaking efforts.
Although the success rate of this method of convincing people with reason is not high, the leader believes that in the current situation, this method is much more effective than using anger and violence.
With this thought in his mind, the expression on the leader's face suddenly softened. He calmly looked at the group of brothers in front of him who were shouting with him, and then thought about it carefully, and found that although these brothers said what they just said, It doesn't sound good, but there is some truth in what they said.
Although the opportunistic method he just thought of can cleverly resolve the crisis at hand, it cannot change the true nature of this group of people. If they keep this timid mentality, no matter how hard they work in the future, It’s also hard for those big shots to look down on them.
If he were an ordinary person, faced with such well-founded doubts from his brothers, he would have surrendered and reconciled with his brothers long ago. But fortunately, the leading brother is not such an ordinary person. He found out that the brothers After realizing that their words made some sense, he did not stop thinking because he always felt that something was wrong with what his brothers said, but he couldn't really tell what was wrong for a while. Come.
Under this situation, after listening to the questions from his brothers, he did not speak for a long time. On the surface, it seemed that he was stumped by his brothers' problems.
Seeing the reaction of the leader, the other strong men all misjudged, thinking that he had nothing to say, and they were too embarrassed to admit his mistake to their subordinates, so he did not dare to express his position.
After realizing this, the strong men shook their heads and sighed, and all murmured in their hearts, we thought the elder brother was so powerful, but it turns out that he also has a silver-like wax gun head, which is useless, just like he did to himself just now He was full of confidence, but when we questioned his method a little, he was speechless.
It seems that it is unrealistic to expect him to save us!
The strong men suddenly lost confidence in the leader. They no longer expected him to come up with any good ideas to save everyone. Instead, they began to think of ways to escape. Although it was very disgraceful, it was better than dying in the life of that young man. hands.
Zhou Yiming's eyes had been staring at Dashan and the others, but when he realized that it would be difficult for Dashan to deal with his group of people in a short time, he suddenly felt uninterested, so his eyes wandered a little.
In order to prevent those young men from choosing to escape immediately after losing the game, Zhou Ming observed the escape routes in the bank in advance and confirmed that except for the road leading to the gate, there was no way outside the bank. After exiting, Zhou Yiming nodded with satisfaction.
Just when he was about to turn his eyes to the other side of the mountain again, he suddenly remembered that those strong men who often caused trouble for him seemed to have not made any noise for a long time.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little worried. After all, these strong men had helped him just now, and he should ensure their safety both emotionally and rationally.
He hurriedly turned his head and looked at the place where the strong men had been, and found that the place was empty, not a single person in sight.
This week, Yi Ming became even more panicked. He quickly checked around and found that there was no trace of the strong men in the hall.
After searching to no avail, he withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself, what the hell, where did these people go?
Just when he was wondering if a master had sneaked in and rescued the group of strong men without anyone noticing, his eyes accidentally saw the door of the elegant room, which suddenly made him freeze. Because he clearly remembered that the door had been smashed when he attacked Manager Li. Why was it repaired again and installed on the door frame at this moment?
He frowned, thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that there was only one possibility for the door to be repaired and installed back to its original position, and that was that the strong men secretly removed the door in order to ensure their own safety. The door was repaired and then reinstalled without anyone noticing. They wanted to use this to create a safe space for themselves.
After thinking about this, Zhou Yiming smiled and shook his head, thinking that he knew without asking that these strong men must be hiding in the private room. I really didn't expect that they took action so quickly. In a short time, They have completed such a large workload. From this perspective, their desire to survive is really too strong.
As a strong man with advanced martial arts skills, Zhou Yiming did not view the hiding behavior of these strong men from a negative perspective, nor did he find it embarrassing for them to do so, because he knew in his heart that people without strength would encounter danger. In a helpless situation, they can only rely on this kind of behavior that looks disgraceful to the strong to protect their lives, because if they don't do this, their lives are like grass and may be harvested by the strong at any time.
Not only did Zhou Ming not look down on them in his heart, but he admired their all-pervasive desire to survive. If they could cherish their own lives in this way, they could empathize with them and value the lives of others. Only living individuals with this ability are qualified. called people.
Zhou Yiming secretly decided in his heart that after the immediate crisis was over, he would definitely help these strong men and try his best to say a few good words for them in front of Shopkeeper Lu and try his best to let them keep their jobs.
The strong men in the private room are all worried about their future fate at the moment, so no one has the leisure to observe the situation outside the private room. This directly leads to the fact that they have no idea about Yi Ming's inner thoughts. .
The leader was sitting in the middle of the crowd and had not spoken for a long time. He had been immersed in intense thinking and had never found the loopholes in the words of his brothers. Just when he was about to give up, he opened his mouth to talk to his brothers When he surrendered, an idea suddenly flashed deep in his brain, and the sparks illuminated the darkness in his brain, allowing him to see the essence of the problem clearly.
After working hard for a long time, the leader finally got something. He was very happy. He immediately gathered his brothers together and reminded everyone to listen carefully to what he had to say.
The strong men had long lost confidence in the leader, so they had no interest in listening to him at this moment. However, seeing his excited look, they couldn't refute him face to face, so they could only bite the bullet and temporarily Be patient and listen to what he has to say.
The leading brother glanced around at his brothers with a proud look on his face, and then slowly said: "Brothers, I have to admit that what you just said makes sense."
After hearing this, the strong men were all stunned, because before the leading brother spoke, they all thought that he would get angry and insult them first, and then speak his own way.
The reason for this idea is that they know the character of the leading brother very well. This old boy used to rely on Manager Li to support him and frequently acted arrogantly in front of them. Moreover, once he made a mistake in front of them, he would He would not admit it even if he was beaten to death. If his subordinates pushed him to the edge, he would beat him up, shift the responsibility to others, and confidently let his subordinates take the blame for him and accept the punishment.
It is precisely because of this inherent impression in their hearts that the strong men have no hope for what he will say next. They even feel that as long as he does not blame them and his subordinates, they will be satisfied. The big brother who took the lead suddenly woke up and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. This kind of thing even the strong men would not dare to think about.
But what they didn't expect was that after the leader opened his mouth, not only did he not find fault with them or accuse them, but he went out of his way and said that what they just said was reasonable, not to mention whether he meant what he said. , just the way he spoke moved these strong men.
Because at least the leading brother has shown sincerity, this is a good start. As long as they can work together to solve the current predicament, it is not impossible.
After realizing this, the strong men changed their lazy demeanor and all looked at the leader attentively, hoping that his next words would bring them a way to survive.
After the leading brother figured out the whole problem, he immediately couldn't wait to share his joy and experience with his brothers. However, what he didn't expect was that the reaction of his brothers was extremely cold, as if they were not interested in what he was going to do next. It's like he doesn't care at all.
Such a basin of cold water poured down the fire in the leader's heart almost extinguished in an instant. Fortunately, the huge sense of responsibility finally supported the leader, preventing him from having a mental breakdown and completely losing his ability to speak before he could speak clearly. The ability to speak.
Withstanding the pressure, after making some opening remarks, the leader was pleasantly surprised to find that the attitudes of his group of strong men had obviously changed. Not only did they begin to listen to him attentively, but their eyes also shone with expectation when looking at him. of light.
The leading brother knew in his heart that his glorious image in their minds had returned. He must seize this opportunity and never let them down again: "This huge crisis in front of us is indeed our own." The problem is, if our mental outlook cannot be fundamentally changed, even if we break ten thousand doors, it will not change our timid mental attributes.
But you can talk about it, but can you come up with a plan on how to change this status quo?
I can make a statement here today. For the collective benefit of all of us, as long as one of us can come up with a concrete feasible plan today, this plan can not only solve our current predicament, but also fundamentally make us better. If he becomes more courageous, then I will hand over the position of eldest brother directly to his hands and let him take charge of the overall situation and lead us brothers forward.
Let me remind you that I am not joking, I am speaking from my heart, because if someone can come up with such a method, then he must be better than me in terms of ability. If he leads everyone, he will definitely be able to give everyone a A brighter future. "
The strong men were all shocked. They really did not expect that at such a life-and-death moment, the leading brother would be so selfless. When considering the problem, he had no selfish motives at all. Instead, he always considered their interests, even for everyone. To find a way out, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his own interests and give up his position as the eldest brother. Such courage is not something ordinary people possess.
While being moved, the hearts of the strong men began to move, because they understood better than anyone else that being a pawn in a small group had no future at all. If they could seize this golden opportunity in front of them, reach the sky in one step, and sit on the With the position of eldest brother, even if they lose their lives today, they can still smile.
Although they were happy to see the eldest brother give up his position, they still had to do some superficial work.
As soon as the leading brother finished speaking, all the strong men excitedly began to persuade:
"Brother, why are you doing this? You have been our eldest brother for so many years. Even if you have no merit, you have worked hard. How can you plan to give up your position as soon as you encounter difficulties?"
"Listen up, everyone. Don't take what I say seriously. I'm joking. If anyone dares to plot something against me, I will be the first to let him go."
"Yes, the more critical moments we encounter, the more we must put the word loyalty first. The reason why we can survive until now without losing our lives is because of these two words, isn't it? Brothers For these two words, is it easy to help each other and support each other to get to where we are today step by step?
I don't care about others. If anyone dares to be dishonest and covet my eldest brother's position, I will fight him tooth and nail. "
The leader is not a fool. He understands in his heart that after hearing what he said just now, these people are not happy enough. How can they sincerely defend him? This is all acting. If he takes it seriously, it would be too much. No more brains.
Although the intentions of the strong men are clear in their hearts, the superficial work that needs to be done must still be done properly.
The leading brother smiled slightly, stretched out his hands, and made a downward movement, which meant that he wanted to calm down his subordinates and that he had something to say.
The strong men were talking to each other, and they were talking enthusiastically. Suddenly, when they saw what the leader did, they immediately became quiet and stopped talking.
