Chapter 2734

This is also because they understand reason—if they were to show even the slightest doubt about Zhang Lin, then Zhang Lin would not treat them the way he treats Fatty, because the officials after all represent far too many layers, and at that moment Zhang Lin would absolutely give up his directives to the archaeological team at the first opportunity.

Then he could calmly talk about the next book. As for Yang Lu's side, he could completely contact her privately and then make some choices.

Instead of strongly telling them the corresponding response at the Crescent Restaurant. It's just that things haven't developed to that state yet, but Fatty has always been clinging to his own kind of thinking, seemingly walking forward very firmly.

This is the result Zhang Lin least wants to see. The next moment Zhang Lin couldn't help but pick up the communicator, wondering if this was the time for him to have a direct conversation with Fatty, and then tell him that things afterward wouldn't go off track at all. But Zhang Lin looked at the time—he hadn't even had lunch yet—so he simply put down the phone.

His own trip to the Crescent Restaurant is in the evening, so for now let Archaeological Team One figure it out on their own. If they can't adjust their actions to the same frequency, then Zhang Lin will change his plan afterward. Of course, this plan doesn't involve the final core interests—this is certain.

It also doesn't involve the safety of the archaeological team. As long as these two points are met, then for Zhang Lin there's nothing to the subsequent matters. Zhang Lin didn't directly emphasize to Archaeological Team One why he was doing this—the fundamental reason was still to protect the interests of the archaeological team itself.

And if Fatty is overthinking things, there's nothing he can do about it. Originally the archaeological team could have obtained more benefits, but if they don't mend their ways now, the benefits they can get afterward will be very few indeed.

But relatively speaking, they will still complete an entire process without too much deviation. Zhang Lin believes that as long as this point is met, then for the subsequent matters he will have fulfilled his promise.

As for whether the archaeological team will regret it afterward, that's not something Zhang Lin needs to consider—it's all their own choice, and has nothing to do with Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin even emphasized one point at the Crescent Restaurant: some things are not obligations, much less responsibilities, just a matter of sentiment. If Zhang Lin doesn't direct the archaeological team, even if the livestream viewers go ballistic,

they have no way to stand on the moral high ground to criticize Zhang Lin for anything. From beginning to end Zhang Lin has been saying he doesn't have that kind of responsibility. Although this wasn't said openly, subtly and gradually he has used all kinds of methods to guide this kind of thinking.

And he told everyone that he really should hold this kind of thinking, so that things afterward won't go off track, and even more so the officials won't morally blackmail him. This is also the main reason Zhang Lin has been able to command these two archaeological teams so smoothly all along.

Zhang Lin believes that once the officials discover he cares very much about Yang Lu's safety, under this premise, the officials might change their previous thinking and do something that even surprises Zhang Lin—that's not the result he wants to see.

Although this result now has a corresponding deviation, it has actually turned out for the better by accident. Zhang Lin also plans to continue using this method—at least he won't feel any displeasure because of it.

As for what Wang Canghai is actually thinking, Zhang Lin can ignore it for now, because he hasn't reached Archaeological Team Two yet.

Looking at the present, Wu Tianzhen took a deep breath and looked at Fatty. At this moment he really planned to smack a brick directly on Fatty's head and knock him out—that would be a permanent solution, no longer letting Fatty say those messy and incoherent things.

You have to know the current situation is so critical, but Fatty's doing this really shows he's too thoughtless and immature. They had planned things perfectly from the start, yet this kind of deviation appeared. For Wu Tianzhen, as long as he continued following Zhang Lin's orders everything would be fine, but Fatty just had to insist on his own ideas.

Now waiting might not matter much to Wu Tianzhen. What he truly worries about is Zhang Lin's side. If because of this incident Mr. Zhang harbors a grudge, and afterward no longer issues any guidance to the archaeological team, then Wu Tianzhen feels Fatty's crime this time truly deserves double punishment.

Because of his own petty thoughts and good intentions, he affected the overall rhythm of Archaeological Team One, and the things they need to do in the future. Most importantly, Fatty's original intention was indeed good.

He wasn't doing it for his own life—instead his thoughts were the same as Wu Tianzhen's, believing they couldn't let too many lives be lost, which would also be hard to explain to the officials. But Fatty himself seemingly didn't expect that it was precisely because of this kind of good intention that he ended up doing a very bad thing in the end.

Wu Tianzhen thought of this and shook his head, involuntarily sighing. He also understands that saying these things now seems meaningless, because Fatty is dead set on it—had it not been for the hurried footsteps from afar just now, Fatty might not have been like this.

Now Fatty is clearly making a big deal out of it, but Wu Tianzhen can't really say anything. At this moment a light bulb went off in Wu Tianzhen's head—when he was still thinking of looking for someone to help, he didn't expect Wu Ya to already walk over at this moment.

That's right, the person Wu Tianzhen thought of was Wu Ya. He understands that if at this moment there's someone who could speak up and change the rhythm of the current situation, then besides Wu Ya there is no one else.

Since that's the case, Wu Tianzhen can only grasp this last life-saving straw, hoping the other party can speak up to help them solve certain problems. At least Wu Ya can't keep being a hands-off boss in the archaeological team.

Although she has never expressed her own thoughts, it's because she doesn't want to overstep, and also doesn't want to affect Archaeological Team One's progress—after all, all of this is controlled by Wu Tianzhen.

At the same time even Wu Tianzhen has to obey Zhang Lin's orders, so as Zhang Lin's spokesperson, his words carry authority in Archaeological Team One. But precisely because of this, Wu Ya doesn't dare express her own thoughts.

She worries that her own suggestions might be taken by Archaeological Team One's people as Zhang Lin's ideas—that would be the biggest joke in the world!

This is also the main reason Wu Ya is especially cautious. But looking at the present, her worry should be purely unnecessary—at least Wu Tianzhen won't listen to Wu Ya about everything, and when Wu Ya says something she also has to prove at the first moment that this is Zhang Lin's order.

If she can't prove it, then Wu Tianzhen will absolutely turn a deaf ear.
