Chapter 2771: Complicated Made Simple! Now All That's Left Is to Act!

In other words, the reason Fatty is doing this now, as he keeps emphasizing, is not for himself; and if this matter were false, or if Fatty were deliberately making excuses, then as long as Wu Tianzhen saw through it, he would absolutely stop him at the first moment.

But precisely because of this, Wu Tianzhen didn't see through any of it; on the contrary, Fatty handled everything flawlessly, leaving him unable to find any loophole.

From his own perspective, there was nothing more he could criticize Fatty for. Wu Tianzhen had just thought of having Wu Ya discuss the situation, hoping to rely on the prestige she had accumulated in archaeology to get it all done.

But looking at it now, it seems his hopes were somewhat unnecessary.

Even Wu Ya couldn't turn this stubborn donkey's thinking around. Wu Tianzhen couldn't help sighing endlessly in his heart, muttering to himself: does he really have to contact Mr. Zhang over such a trivial matter and ask him to step in and resolve it?

Not to mention anything else, if it really came to that, Wu Tianzhen felt it would be far too embarrassing, and might even provoke Mr. Zhang's displeasure.

Even now Wu Tianzhen didn't dare imagine what kind of expression Zhang Lin would have if he saw this livestream and saw Fatty's performance.

It would be a small matter if Archaeology Team One ran into temporary trouble, but if Fatty's personal situation provoked Zhang Lin, then everything would collapse along with it. They absolutely could not let one small thing ruin the entire plan.

Even though what Zhang Lin said was very dangerous, and he truly hadn't seen the full picture, in the end this person is Zhang Lin. Before this, at the New Moon Restaurant, he had already directed the archaeology team to complete these tasks in all sorts of ways more than once or twice.

On this premise, Zhang Lin was very clear about what he should do, and how to choose afterward. Sometimes human nature is just like that.

Because Zhang Lin had done everything so perfectly, they had developed this dependence on him all along, which caused the team itself to become harder and harder to control.

At the very beginning, this was not the outcome Zhang Lin wanted to see, but as things changed, since it had already reached this point, Zhang Lin had no choice — and that was the most helpless part.

Since that was the case, Zhang Lin simply chose to go with the flow and resolve the matter, but he never expected this to make Archaeology Team One stop while they were ahead; instead, they grew even more brazen.

Although Zhang Lin didn't care about these things, one shouldn't push people too far. Since Zhang Lin had already taken things this far, they should at least understand his painstaking efforts.

Looking at the situation now, let alone understanding these things, even achieving the most basic level was a luxury — and this was the main reason Zhang Lin was so disappointed in them.

For example, although Wu Ya hadn't broken things down piece by piece for Fatty, since she had already invoked herself, Fatty should have understood that there was no need to keep insisting. Originally, what Zhang Lin had been thinking was that Wu Ya might argue her case forcefully and thereby persuade Fatty.

But she had skipped a step, making things not so complicated. In fact, at the very beginning, Zhang Lin's arrangements for these matters didn't specifically include every detail, and he hadn't told Wu Ya the full plan either — he wanted Wu Ya to make her own decisions.

So that she could handle everything. After all, as his assistant, she needed some training, and if this trip to Archaeology Team One continued the way it had before, it certainly wouldn't achieve the purpose of training her. Zhang Lin was more certain of this than anyone.

But now, in a way, she had taken a shortcut. At first Zhang Lin thought Wu Ya's decision-making had a problem, but afterward he figured it out: since he had already left all these matters to Wu Ya to arrange, he couldn't say anything more.

The original intent of the training was for Wu Ya's personal ability to handle problems. Zhang Lin did a simple thought experiment: if he were in Wu Ya's place, arriving at Archaeology Team One in this kind of situation, he would also get straight to the point rather than wasting words with the other party.

Because once he invoked himself, and Fatty still wouldn't listen to persuasion, there would be only two ways to resolve it: either Wu Ya and Fatty would come to blows directly, regardless of consequences.

As long as Fatty was beaten into submission, all problems could be solved. But as everyone knows, Fatty is the kind of person who never admits defeat — no matter the circumstances, he insists on living with his back straight, and will not submit to any violence.

Unless that person earns his genuine respect, just like Zhang Lin. The reason he obeys Zhang Lin's orders one hundred percent is precisely because Zhang Lin truly earned his admiration.

This is the major premise. Once such a major premise disappears, then afterward, clearly Fatty would not consider anyone's feelings and would only think of the archaeology team itself.

This isn't Fatty trying to claim credit, nor does he have any ambition for power. Fatty is, in the absolute sense, a carefree and easygoing person — he doesn't care about authority, nor does he care what others give him. Just like in the three-person group of Archaeology Team One, Fatty basically doesn't manage anything.

In Wu Tianzhen's words, used to mock him: this guy likes to be a hands-off boss, and is unwilling to use his brain. For many things he prefers to take the ready-made result. If he didn't have the brains, that would be one thing.

But precisely because of this, Fatty is actually very clever — he isn't that kind of fool. This is what frustrates Wu Tianzhen the most. Yet now Wu Tianzhen truly hopes Fatty can return to his previous state, and Wu Tianzhen sincerely regrets it.

He feels that his own thinking was fundamentally wrong. Fatty is suited to staying silent and saying nothing — that is the real Fatty. If he were deliberately dragged into things, then he wouldn't be Fatty anymore.

At the very least, everyone in Archaeology Team One would suspect what Fatty's true nature actually is. This is the most helpless part. But at this moment, Fatty wasn't feeling smug, nor did he realize how sharp the gazes of those around him were. As far as Fatty was concerned, none of these things mattered at all.

He only needed to seize the most solid point to raise his objection, then lay everything out on the table and discuss it with everyone. Now Fatty's thinking was already very clear.

Unless Zhang Lin personally called to inform them of all this, Fatty absolutely would not change his previous stance — this was certain.

But precisely because of this, it was exactly this kind of thinking that somewhat touched Zhang Lin's reverse scale. Of course, this was only Wu Tianzhen's personal thought.
