A Realistic Mount & Blade Game

However, Zhang Bo didn't linger here for too long. After discussing the current sensitive situation with these middle-level managers, he parted ways and returned to his town residence.

Zhang Bo was preparing to rest, as a full day of work awaited him tomorrow.

He needed to ensure he had sufficient rest.

However, even after Zhang Bo left, these middle-level managers remained in the open space, their faces filled with anger.

They were also whispering among themselves, and although they deliberately lowered their voices, the content of their conversations was inevitably related to resistance.

The actions of those senior managers today had truly angered them and had crossed their bottom line.

Previously, they had been choosing to endure, but the result of their forbearance was the hostility of those senior managers and their current desire to find an excuse to wipe them out completely.

Therefore, they were no longer planning to endure.

If those senior managers wanted to start a conflict with them, then these middle-level managers wouldn't mind uniting and confronting those senior managers.

It would just be a confrontation. Everyone's level was about the same now, and they even had a numerical advantage. After all, they had now become Spirit Realm Commanders under Deherim, and most of the soldiers under their command were human soldiers.

There were no longer any strange Spirit Realm creature followers.

So, in a situation where the levels were the same, a confrontation with a numerical advantage meant they might not be without a chance of victory.

Moreover, some of these middle-level managers had already reached the level of Swadian Light Infantry, and their followers had reached the level of Swadian Militia.

As long as they organized themselves into a good formation, even if those senior managers organized their human followers to attack.

They would definitely have the ability to resist.

Even to counter-kill them.

"Brother Bo is right. We must organize ourselves to resist. Moreover, now we not only have to prove that we are innocent, but also prove that they are the bad guys colluding with the remnants of the Diesel Company."

"That's right. We are inherently good people, and now we are organizing to resist the attacks of those bad people against us. We must unite."

"Those damned remnants of the Diesel Company must have infiltrated those senior managers. After all, those senior managers were also members of the temporary convoy at the time, and perhaps they had long had the idea of joining forces with the remnants of the Diesel Company."

"We are all ordinary people. How could we collude with the remnants of the Diesel Company? Besides, the Diesel Company didn't give us any good help at the time. Why would we cooperate with the remnants of the Diesel Company?"

"Those senior managers must have been bewitched by the remnants of the Diesel Company, or they themselves are spies sent by the Diesel Company to infiltrate our Deherim."

"I also feel that those senior managers are spies sent by the Diesel Company to lurk in Deherim. Otherwise, how could they attack us? We are a group of staunch loyalists."

"Tomorrow, we must unite and jointly resist these damned senior managers, and let them know why we can be so united now, because we are all loyalists, and we are different from those traitors who colluded with the Diesel Company."

These middle-level managers had finally unified their words and their thoughts, which was to fight those senior managers to the end.

Absolutely no slackening was allowed.

The current situation was obvious: those senior managers wanted to engage in a 'Zhū Lián' (implication of guilt by association) against them, causing them to lose their current positions, power, and status, and return to the point where they were ordinary people who could be arbitrarily bullied.

Of course, they were unwilling.

When they submitted the list to Shen Mu, they knew that they would definitely offend these senior managers, but they had no choice. After all, they were all ordinary people before and had no extensive connections with these senior managers.

If they didn't do this, then the path to advancement would be completely blocked, and they would have no chance to see Lord Shen Mu.

They would only be ordinary people for the rest of their lives, only able to kneel on the ground and provide mental energy for Deherim.

No one wanted to do this.

No one wanted to live their life as a beast of burden.

That's why they united and desperately wanted to strive for a future, submitted the list, and finally obtained the possibility of advancing to Spirit Realm Commander, and now they have succeeded.

Of course, this also offended those senior managers. After all, without the power of personnel affairs, it was equivalent to losing the biggest capital in the political game.

This was something that everyone understood.

The senior managers among those Blue Star humans also understood this, so they would be hysterically angry, and then they would want to engage in 'Zhū Lián' at this time, so that these middle-level managers who dared to break away from their control would be completely suppressed by them.

Only in this way could they maintain the status and identity of these senior managers, as well as their future power, glory, and beautiful life.

And just when those middle-level managers had united and planned to fight against them.

These senior managers were also negotiating.

Inside a certain town residence.

A total of 14 senior managers had gathered.

Of course, Zhang Caidong and Sun Zhiru, the two highest-ranking chief and deputy chief, were missing, but the remaining ones had already included many senior managers in charge of various fields among the Blue Star humans, and they had all come to this room and sat down.

And in the dim candlelight, they were also saying in a deep voice the names on some lists they wanted to confirm, and they were also allocating the specific quotas.

The quota of Diesel Company remnants, that is, the middle-level managers among those who were hated, angered, and resented by them.

"I have six people here, they must die."

"I have three here. I gritted my teeth and removed four people from the seven. The remaining three must die."

"I also have two here who must die. They were my subordinates before, but they betrayed me, and they even dared to ignore me when I expressed my desire to reconcile and showed goodwill. Then they must die."

“I also have two here. I wanted to contact them before and get them to join me, but they didn’t even pay attention to me. They must die.”

“I have four guys here who must die.”

“I have one here. I'll feel uneasy if this guy doesn't die. I can let everyone else go, but this guy must die.”

“I have three here.”

“I have five here who must die. There's no room for sentimentality. They must die.”

These senior managers wrote down their respective targets in their notebooks, then tore off the pages from their notebooks and pushed them all onto the table.

Finally, two senior managers in charge of overall planning collected them, then identified and distinguished them.

After removing duplicate names.

They compiled all the final lists into a notebook and handed it to the top-ranking senior manager, who was also the convener of this meeting and the main person behind this undercurrent.

“Brother Zhou Mo, this is the list submitted this time. There are a total of 27 people, all thorns in our sides and nails in our flesh, and some guys who are most likely to cooperate with the remnants of the Diesel Company.”

The senior manager in charge of overall planning and registration handed the notebook to a middle-aged man in his 40s, whom he called Brother Zhou Mo.

“Okay, thank you.” Zhou Mo nodded lightly, reached out and took the notebook, glanced at it casually, and then threw it back on the table, making a 'pa' sound, which immediately made the senior managers in front of him, who were still whispering to each other and gnashing their teeth, focus their attention on him.

“Brother Zhou Mo, what's the situation?” Their eyes were a little puzzled, not understanding why Zhou Mo didn't even look at it and threw the notebook directly on the table, looking indifferent.

“Indeed, there's no need to look. Now that you've submitted these lists, then let's proceed according to this list.” Zhou Mo used to hang out in the gray areas, and he was also involved in engineering earthwork. At this time, he also showed his more ruthless side, looking at the senior managers in front of him with a smile on his face: “We are now a united brotherhood. Let's get rid of all those damned guys first. It's enough for us to eat the remaining cake ourselves, isn't it?”

“Of course, that's how Brother Zhou Mo is! We just like you being so unguarded with your own people!” The senior managers all gave thumbs up, with expressions of admiration on their faces.

At this time, Zhou Mo also waved his hand, indicating that he was very modest: “I am also considering it for everyone. There must be some places that are not well considered. Whether there are any remnants of the Diesel Company in here, it still depends on what Big Brother Zhang Cai Dong says.”

When he spoke, he deliberately emphasized his tone on the three words Zhang Cai Dong, as if he meant something.

“Ah, hahaha, yes, yes, it's still up to Big Brother Zhang Cai Dong.” But these senior managers below were all like old foxes, laughing a couple of times without saying much.

They all understood why Zhou Mo said this, and even they all knew why Zhou Mo directly took over this mess, stirring up this storm, looking like he wasn't afraid of offending people or being investigated by Shen Mu.

He just wanted to stand in front and be noticed by Shen Mu.

Or rather.

Did he also want to try what it would be like to reach the highest peak of Blue Star humans?

But now they all understood that their strength was not enough to compete with Zhang Cai Dong. If they jumped ship to Zhou Mo in advance, then they would suffer if Zhang Cai Dong counterattacked. After all, Shen Mu's trust in Zhang Cai Dong was obvious to all.

They must not take sides in advance.

Everyone was an old fox, and there was no need to play any Liaozhai stories. Moreover, they were all veterans who had been through the business world and the battlefield for a long time.

It was essential to be wary of others. They didn't want to take sides in advance and then be used as cannon fodder or pawns.

“Hahahaha.” Zhou Mo also laughed a few times. He wasn't worried about the fact that these senior managers in front of him didn't react to his words at all.

After all, for him, it was just the beginning now.

The fact that these people came to his room already showed that they had begun to support him. There was no need to worry. There was no need to be too anxious. As long as he steadily moved forward, then he could slowly create his own force within Zhang Cai Dong's management.

This was a small circle within a circle.

Once his small circle completely replaced the management system built by Zhang Cai Dong in terms of mainstream functions, then his small circle would have the final decision-making power, rather than Zhang Cai Dong's verbal appointment and verbal management.

This was equivalent to hollowing out.

They weren't unaware of Zhang Cai Dong's intention to win over those middle-level managers through Zhang Bo, they didn't understand, and they hadn't guessed it.

Now that they were building a small circle and wanted to hollow out Zhang Cai Dong, then Zhang Cai Dong shouldn't be angry, after all, Zhang Cai Dong did it first.

They were just fighting back.

“Also, tomorrow, everyone should pay close attention to see who among those middle-level managers is making so much noise. If they're making noise, then they must be the remnants of the Diesel Company. If they don't listen to persuasion, I think it's right to let them see some blood.” Zhou Mo continued to offer his suggestions: “Dealing with traitors should involve bloodshed. If it doesn't achieve this kind of deterrent effect, those traitors will definitely not be afraid of us, and they will definitely add fuel to the fire even more. That would be restrictive for us. I don't think anyone wants to see this result, right?”

“Of course, what Brother Zhou Mo said is right. I support Brother Zhou Mo on this matter.” The other senior managers nodded one after another.

“That's right, that's right, we also support Brother Zhou Mo on this matter. Brother Zhou Mo should lead us.” The other senior managers continued to flatter: “If those remnants of the Diesel Company are investigated, then the credit should go to Big Brother Zhou Mo.”

And those staunch brothers of Zhou Mo who said these words all clamored at this time.

Making the atmosphere in the entire town residence even more enthusiastic.
