Chapter 3331: Complicated Made Simple! Now All That's Left Is to Act!
In other words, the reason Fatty is doing this right now, as he keeps stressing, is not for himself; and if this matter were fake, 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 coincidentally, Wu Tianzhen didn't see anything like that; on the contrary, Fatty handled everything extremely well, leaving him unable to find any flaw at all.
From his own angle, there was no way to fault Fatty either. Wu Tianzhen had just thought of having Wu Ya discuss the situation here, hoping to rely on the prestige she had accumulated in archaeology to get it all done.
But looking at it now, it seemed his hopes were a bit superfluous.
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 small 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 just be too embarrassing, and might even provoke displeasure from Mr. Zhang.
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 a temporary problem, but if Fatty's personal situation somehow offended Zhang Lin, then everything would collapse along with it. They absolutely could not let this one thing affect the entire plan.
Even though what Zhang Lin said was very dangerous, and he really hadn't seen the full picture, in the end this person is Zhang Lin. Before this, at New Moon Restaurant, he had already used all kinds of methods to direct the archaeology team in completing these tasks not just 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 things so perfectly, they had developed this dependence on him all along, which caused this 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 way to fix it — this 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 wouldn't make Archaeology Team One stop while they were ahead; on the contrary, they doubled down.
Although Zhang Lin didn't care about these things, a person can't go too far. Since Zhang Lin had already done things to this extent, they should at least understand his painstaking efforts.
Looking at the situation now, let alone understanding these things, even achieving the most basic was a luxury — this was also the main reason Zhang Lin was quite disappointed in them.
For example, right now 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 stubbornly pursuing this. Originally, at the start, 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. Actually, at the beginning, Zhang Lin's arrangement 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 definitely wouldn't achieve the purpose of training — this Zhang Lin was more certain of than anyone.
But now this could also be considered a disguised shortcut. At first Zhang Lin thought Wu Ya's decision 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 training lay in Wu Ya's personal ability to handle problems. Zhang Lin did a simple thought experiment: if he were in Wu Ya's place, going to Archaeology Team One in this kind of situation, he would also get straight to the point instead of wasting words with the other party.
Because once he invoked his own situation, if Fatty still wouldn't listen to persuasion, the final solution would be two paths: either Wu Ya and Fatty would just throw down directly, no holds barred.
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 won't submit to any violence.
Unless that person makes him genuinely concede, just like Zhang Lin. The reason he obeys Zhang Lin's orders one hundred percent is also because Zhang Lin truly earned his admiration.
This is the major premise. Once such a major premise disappeared, then afterward, obviously Fatty definitely wouldn't consider anyone's feelings, only thinking about the archaeology team itself.
This wasn't Fatty trying to claim credit, nor did he have any ambition for power. Fatty is absolutely the carefree type — he doesn't care about authority, nor does he care what others give him. Just like in the Archaeology Team One trio, Fatty basically doesn't manage anything.
In Wu Tianzhen's words, used to mock him: this guy likes to be the hands-off boss, and is unwilling to use his brain. On many things he prefers to take what's already done. If he didn't have the brains, that would be one thing.
But coincidentally, Fatty is actually quite clever — he's not that kind of fool. This is what Wu Tianzhen found most helpless about. But now Wu Tianzhen truly hoped Fatty could return to his previous state, and Wu Tianzhen was sincerely regretful.
He felt his own thinking had been wrong from the start. Fatty was suited to staying silent and saying nothing — that was the real Fatty. If he deliberately got involved, then he wouldn't be Fatty anymore.
At the very least, every member of Archaeology Team One would suspect what Fatty's true colors were — this was the most helpless part. But at this moment Fatty wasn't feeling smug, nor did he realize how sharp the looks everyone around him was giving him were. As far as Fatty was concerned, none of this mattered at all.
He just needed to grab the most solid point to raise his objection, then lay everything out on the table and discuss it with everyone. Fatty's thinking was now 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 coincidentally, it was precisely this kind of thinking that touched Zhang Lin's reverse scale. Of course, this was only Wu Tianzhen's personal thought.
