Please don’t say such words in such a casual tone.

Wait, last time I watched the group chat, you guys were still talking about Zhang Bili being jealous of his second sister and preparing to take someone to block Xu Ningjian. My phone was confiscated for a few days, how did the plot develop like this. 

Chen Zhi was so angry that he felt another faint pain in his chest. He quickly took out his fast-acting heart tonic from his pocket and took two pills.

It wasn’t long before people from other divisions also arrived. 

It was almost noon by now, and the planning team arranged a simple lunch for everyone before taking a short break.

After the lunch break, the group was divided and mobilized.

Needless to say, the grouping is directly divided according to business departments, and there are five teams in total. The teams are sorted and numbered according to their arrival time. For example, if the people from Ho Lang’s department are the first to arrive, they are the first team.

Needless to say, the teams were divided directly into five teams according to their business divisions. The teams were numbered according to their arrival time, for example, He Lang’s team arrived the earliest, therefore, they were Team One.

After the groups were divided, the host would first introduce the activities. Subsequently, the leaders of each business division would separately lead their respective teams.

Generally, in this type of process, the leader usually went through the motions and gave a motivated speech. It was fine as long as the meaning was conveyed.

But today, employees from a certain business division found that their leader seemed to act as if he had an injection of chicken blood, acting particularly high spirited.

Chen Zhi put his hands behind his back, and he could see fire in his eyes: “Everyone, please listen to me. This is not just a team building, but also related to the honor and disgrace of the entire department. In the past two days, everyone has given me Try your best, no matter what, you must not lose to other departments, especially that department – you all know which one I’m talking about!” 

Chen Zhi placed his hands behind his back, and he was fired up to the point that sparks could be seen in his eyes. “Everyone, listen up. This is not a mere team building event, but a show of our division’s reputation. Everyone, please give me all you have in the next two days, and no matter what, we must not lose to other divisions, especially that division—I hope you all know which one I’m talking about!”

The workers below looked at each other in dismay, feeling very complicated.

How could they not know which division. What went down in that morning meeting had long spread far and wide, so there could only be one that their leader had targeted on a grand scale.

Speaking of which, they were also quite unlucky. Chen Zhi wanted to duke it out with He Lang, but not only did he fall over in a tumble, but he also implicated their budget. 

Of course, as the working bees, even if they were upset about this, they could only smile and show support to their leader.

After Chen Zhi finished his speech, everyone applauded and shouted with full energy, “Understood!”

“Refuel, add oil!”

“Oh, power give!” 

If this was in their WeChat group, it would already be filled with (thumbs up) and (fight on) emojis.

Seeing the enthusiastic response from everyone, the gloom in Chen Zhi was finally lessened, but he still felt something was missing.

Seeing this, his deputy quickly flattered him and said, “Mr. Chen, don’t worry. Although our team can’t guarantee that we will win, we certainly won’t lose to the first team – and this young master is here, too.” , The young master is delicate and delicate, so the first team must have the energy to take care of him. In this case, the game is far behind before it starts, don’t you think?”

His assistant saw the situation and hurriedly said ear-pleasing words, “Mr. Chen, you can rest assured. Although there’s no guarantee our team will win, we will definitely not lose to Team One—have you forgotten that the Crown Prince is also participating? With how high maintenance he is, Team One will definitely allocate their manpower to look after him. With that handicap, they will inevitably fall behind right from the get-go, don’t you agree?” 

Chen Zhi suddenly opened up to a wide panorama from hearing this.

—The main reason why He Lang’s team would be so protective of Ren Xingliu was mainly because the youth hadn’t gotten them into trouble yet, and it wasn’t like giving verbal flatters would cost them anything.

When there was an actual conflict of interest, never mind a single Ren Xingliu, even if it was Ren Zhu herself, employees would still be criticizing her behind her back.

Just look at how many people are cursing their bosses online. 

The reward for today’s team building event was very generous. If one person was the reason for the team’s loss, there was bound to be resentment from their colleagues.

Of course, this alone wouldn’t be enough. If he could add fuel to the flame and expand the conflict, the result would definitely be spectacular.

Thinking so, Chen Qi called the person in charge of the activity, smilingly said: “It’s not easy to engage in such a large-scale joint team building, like this, I personally have to pay out an additional 500,000 yuan in cash, as a reward for the winning team.

With this in mind, Chen Zhi called for the event manager and said with a smile, “Getting this large of an event going must not be an easy feat. How about this, I’ll personally contribute an additional five hundred thousand in cash into the prize pool for the winning team.”

Their total rewards this time were only about this amount. Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi doubled the budget as soon as he opened his mouth. Although it was only given to the winning team, it was undoubtedly very effective in mobilizing everyone’s enthusiasm.

The overseer instantly informed everyone of this news, and every person instantly became excited.

Several other division leaders were also surprised.

“Did Lao Chen take the wrong medicine today? Why so generous?”

“This doesn’t seem like his style.”

But whatever the case, Chen Zhi’s contribution was nailed on the board, which also tangled them along.

Now that several divisions were about to compete, this was just the morale boost they needed.

In this situation, with how generous Chen Zhi was, as fellow leaders, if they didn’t follow his example, they might appear stingy and lose out first.

So, after some discussion, they also found the person in charge and added some extra money to the prize, matching Chen Zhi’s amount.

Before the employees below could calm down, they learned that the amount had multiplied in the blink of an eye.

“Holy fuck! I’m not hearing wrong, right? Is it really going to be two million?!”

“All the bosses are so impressive!”

“That’s no good, I really need to show my true strength this time!” 

“Fight on!”

Chen Zhi was very pleased with this turnout.

A prize pool of two million was almost equivalent to a quarterly dividend for a division that almost met expectations.

He didn’t believe that those people from Team One would be so tolerant of mouse poop! 

In fact, after hearing such a large prize money, Team One’s mentality towards Ren Xingliu did change, but not in the way that Chen Zhi had expected.

“Xingliu, if you need any help later, feel free to let us know.”

“Yeah, right. Don’t be polite, since we are a team after all.”

“It’s normal for you to be lost on your first team building event, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” 

Of course they wanted to win first, but it wasn’t enough for them to be color challenged.

If Ren Xingliu really had a young master temper like the rumors, they would definitely blame him.

But after the incident with Mr. Cheng, they knew that Ren Xingliu wasn’t the same as the rumor. Although they didn’t have confidence in winning with him, they wouldn’t blame him entirely.

Because which team didn’t have new members?

To be showered with everyone’s kindness, although Ren Xingliu didn’t think it was necessary, he still smiled and nodded. “Yes, okay… If you guys need help later on, you don’t have to hold back with me as well.”

After a while, the team building activity officially began. Led by the planning team, they arrived at a small stream on the north side of the campsite.

There were already bundles of bamboo, tires, life jackets, and ropes prepared by the stream. In addition, there were five professional coaches waiting there.

This was the first competition of this team building—cross by building a raft. 

As the name suggests, the team needed to swim across the body of water by using the materials provided. They must work together under the instructor’s guidance, tie up a bamboo raft that could carry people, and then row the raft to the designated place.

With guidance from a professional, technical skills wouldn’t be a problem. The main test would be the actual hands-on ability of each team.

Chen Zhi smiled at the program instantly. The planning team’s arrangement was very much to his liking.

If it was an ordinary sports competition, Ren Xingliu might be able to hold some advantage in physical strength with his age. 

But the young master was bound to be a burden in this kind of work. What kind of hands-on ability could someone, who extends his hands to get dressed and opens his mouth to eat, contribute?

Chen Zhi was taking joy in calamity and feeling delight in disaster. He couldn’t wait to see how Ren Xingliu was going to be hated by both humans and dogs with his own eyes. Even though he couldn’t wait any longer, he paced at his own speed, as if minding his own business and strolling to Team One’s side.

The coach had just finished explaining the technical points, and everyone was going over the resources. Ren Xingliu was also half kneeling on the ground, asking Bai Juanqiu to help tidy up the bamboo, while he himself held the rope, looking like he was about to get his hand dirty.

The kid really looked like he was going to do it. 

However, Chen Zhi would not be fooled by such pretentiousness. He sneered in his heart, put on the posture of an elder, and said: “Xingliu, you have never experienced any hardship since you were a child. Is this life too hard for you?” It’s difficult, why don’t you go to the side and rest, so as not to delay other colleagues…”

However, Chen Zhi wasn’t going to be intimidated by this shelf of flowers. He sneered lightly inside, and put on a senior-like demeanor, saying, “Xingliu, you have never done manual labor like this. Isn’t this activity too difficult for you? Why don’t you take a break on the side and avoid hindering your colleagues…”

Ren Xingliu looked up at him and said with a hint of amusement, “Not at all, I actually found it quite easy.”

While he was in the chaotic world, everything had to be done with his own hands. After joining the Sheng army, he also fought in water battles, so making a bamboo raft was a basic skill. 

Chen Zhi didn’t buy it and clicked his tongue. “Child, there’s no need for you to look strong in a time like this…”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard someone shout “Holy cow” on the side. “Xingliu, how were you able to tie so fast?”

Chen Zhi was taken aback momentarily and when he looked over, he went: “???”

Why was Ren Xingliu moving his hands so quickly? 

He only caught a glance of the rope weaving through the bamboos Bai Juanqiu had organized at a flying speed, with no pause at all.

There were some bamboos that were out of place, which Ren Xingliu simply pushed them in order with one press. This didn’t slow down his work at all.

Nonetheless, in the blink of an eye, he had already tied up a section.

His colleagues weren’t keeping their voice down, which attracted others’ attention. After watching Ren Xingliu work, they were also shocked. 

“Gosh, is that even human speed?”

“Do I need new glasses? I might be seeing afterimages?”

“You don’t need it. That’s an exaggeration.”

Even the other coaches were attracted by this commotion and praised Ren Xingliu’s works, “Beautiful, what a beautiful knot!”

The coaches have taught countless people, they have seen students who picked up very quickly, but rarely ones like the one before them.

Their work often required encouragement from the learners, and many compliments were exaggerated, but in this case, they were genuine.

Hearing affirmation from the coaches, everyone knew that Ren Xingliu was not only fast, but good quality too.

In fact, you can tell by looking at it. The bamboos are arranged neatly and densely, and the ropes are tightly stretched. Unlike others, many of them are tied loosely because of their unfamiliar skills. 

In fact, one could see visually. The dense bamboo was arranged neatly, bounded tightly by rope. Unlike others who, due to little to no mastery, tied their raft with pretty loose binding.

Never mind the ones that haven’t got the technique down yet.

For a moment, envy appeared on other teams’ faces.

With such a great god around, the progress of Team One was going to soar! 

The people in Team One looked even more baffled. To be honest, although they didn’t think Ren Xingliu was going to drag their team down, they also didn’t have expectations of him either.

After all, the Crown Prince didn’t look like someone who did manual labor before.

Who would have thought that Ren Xingliu was actually at King Rank! Just look at his work, he was much more skilled than they were!

After a while, Team One’s people finally came to their senses and came over to watch. 

“Oh my god, Xingliu, is this really your work? That’s solid!”

“No way, you have already done so much in such a short period of time?”

“That’s amazing!”

Ren Xingliu was feeling bashful from the praises and said modestly, “This is very flattering, but it’s very simple,” 

Everyone: “…”

One of the colleagues couldn’t brush this off any longer and expressed a strong objection, “Please don’t say such words in such a casual tone.”

It was a critical hit to self-esteem!

Ren Xingliu was sweating. “…Oh.” 

After the shock, it was no surprise that Team One’s fighting spirit was burning up.

After all, since the Crown Prince was able to do his job so well, they couldn’t fall behind. They wouldn’t be the reason to hold the Crown Prince back, could they?!

Chen Zhi watched helplessly as instead of being hindered by Ren Xingliu, Team One was even more motivated under his example.

They carried a look of seeing Ren Xingliu as their spiritual leader! 

This was not the plot development he wanted to see!

The faint pain was back in Chen Zhi’s chest. He instantly waved his hand to leave, but Ren Xingliu turned, and their eyes met, then the youth said sincerely, “Chen-shu, thank you.”

Chen Zhi was puzzled. “For what?”

Ren Xingliu beamed and said, “I think my team can win that two million.” 

Chen Zhi: “!!!”

Heart tonic, someone go get him his heart tonic!
