Chapter 3069: A Hundred Twists of Conflict! Should She Take the Initiative to Ask Mr. Zhang?

~5 min read 952 words

Fatty still wanted to speak, but Wu Tianzhen shot him a fierce glare and said coldly, "Stop arguing, do as I say!"

After saying this, Wu Tianzhen cast an inquiring look at Wu Ya. The key node now rested on Wu Ya — whether to make this call had to be decided by her, Mr. Zhang Lin's assistant.

For some unknown reason, the expectant gazes of everyone made Wu Ya feel extremely nervous, as if it had been a very long time since she had experienced anything like this.

At this moment, Wu Ya could not help recalling her time on the archaeological team, when she was not yet Zhang Lin's assistant — just a nobody.

But at this instant she suddenly felt a sense of mission. Perhaps it was not only because of Zhang Lin, but also because of the others in this situation — Wu Ya felt that if she made even the slightest mistake, she might cause the others to suffer along with her.

That was why Wu Ya was now so utterly nervous. The next moment, Wu Ya took another deep breath, and at this point Wu Tianzhen was very considerate.

He immediately saw through Wu Ya's state, then shook his head and gave the others a look, before slowly walking over to Wu Ya's side.

"You don't need to be so nervous. These things were never meant for you to bear alone — this is the result of all of us discussing it together."

It had to be said that Wu Tianzhen really did know how to speak. At least as team leader, his emotional intelligence was remarkably high.

He did not put any psychological pressure on her, because he understood that the pressure of rashly contacting Zhang Lin was simply too great. Clearly, he did not want her to face something like that.

Based on this, he had chosen to speak in such a way.

Wu Ya looked at Wu Tianzhen with gratitude, and Fatty also instinctively nodded and said, "Wu Ya, don't worry. No matter the outcome, none of us will blame you."

In fact, many of the livestream viewers did not understand what exactly was going on right now, but as long as they usually listened to Zhang Lin talk, they should have been very clear about it.

The worries of the First Archaeological Team members were warranted. First, when Zhang Lin was at the New Moon Restaurant, there was no problem with them asking about anything.

Even if the First Archaeological Team did not go through official channels to inquire, the people watching the livestream inside the New Moon Restaurant would also tell them the relevant situation — that was the premise.

With this major premise in place, they naturally had nothing to fear. But now the result was exactly the opposite — Zhang Lin was not at the New Moon Restaurant. If they rashly inquired, it might well arouse Zhang Lin's displeasure.

This was what these people were most worried about at present. If it really came to that, they might also believe they had committed a grave mistake. And in that situation, if Zhang Lin stopped giving instructions to the First Archaeological Team, what would they do?

Of course, this was not the team shooting in the dark, nor was it Wu Ya's excessive interpretation born of baseless nervousness. Zhang Lin was certainly not petty — if it were merely a matter related to the issue itself, even if they disturbed Zhang Lin's rest, he would not say anything.

But the reality now was not just that. They all knew very well what Zhang Lin truly tabooed, and all of this was under Zhang Lin's subjective control.

If they rashly contacted him, they might truly disrupt the rhythm, thereby affecting all the subsequent matters. Then Zhang Lin would have every reason to no longer bother with the First Archaeological Team.

At the very least, he would no longer concern himself with the First Archaeological Team's situation — and that was precisely the outcome the First Archaeological Team members least wanted to see.

Wu Ya had still been wrestling with herself, but she had not expected everyone to encourage her in such a way. The next moment, she took another deep breath and said nothing more. With resolve, she picked up her satellite phone and walked aside. Even someone who was not part of the First Archaeological Team could tell what her purpose was.

Even a glint of excitement flashed in the eyes of many livestream viewers. This was, in a real sense, the first time the First Archaeological Team was proactively contacting Zhang Lin to ask what instructions he had.

For those who loved spectacle, they were certain this was absolutely the most anticipated moment. Even the officials were itching to try.

They felt this might well represent a fundamental shift between Zhang Lin and the archaeological team. If this call went through, would it not also mean that their future exchanges could become more casual, without having to worry about so many useless things?

It had to be said that this kind of thinking was on par with Wang Wang Canghai's naive, childish notions. Who was Zhang Lin? How could he possibly allow them to stall things in such a manner?

For Zhang Lin, his own ideas were what mattered most!

He was the one who guided circumstances to bring these things about, while the others were not Zhang Lin's pawns.

At the same time, Zhang Lin would not be controlled by them. For instance, the officials and Zhang Lin did not even have a basic cooperation agreement — they were merely discussing what came next on an equal footing.
