Chapter: 6458

Having said that, Jimmy looked at everyone and shouted loudly: "In this matter, I want to stand with all of you!"

As soon as Jimmy spoke, everyone immediately applauded and cheered.

Before today, people were actually quite annoyed with Jimmy. He had many flaws, and his miserliness and greed were particularly unbearable, making it hard for others to accept him even if they worked together. This was because he would take advantage of small details to get ahead, treating others like fools.

But in this moment, a radiant glow from someone else's character suddenly appeared on Jimmy's face, allowing him to have such a broad-minded and responsible attitude towards the issue, instantly dispelling everyone's resentment and dissatisfaction towards him.

Jimmy didn't expect that he would be able to play the role of a righteous person so well, and his heart felt surprisingly good about it.

Steve saw him putting on an act and couldn't help but whisper to Leaf Chen: "Mr. Leaf, Jimmy and Knight are so confrontational. How should we wrap this up next time?"

Jimmy said with a smile: "I'm sure I'll be the one to wrap things up later. Look at Jimmy now, he's already laying the groundwork for himself. He knows he'll have to stay in Hua Xia for many years and work with ten colleagues. Naturally, he wants to become their leader, and this is him establishing his authority."

He said again: "However, he's just pretending right now. If you don't back him up, Knight won't take him seriously. But if you back him up, Knight will definitely not dare to confront him."

Steve nodded slightly and asked Jimmy: "So I should just help him settle the matter directly?"

Jimmy smiled: "Don't be too straightforward. You're in our Hua Xia territory, after all. Everything needs to be balanced with yin and yang;"

Steve was surprised: "Yin and Yang?"

"Yes!" Jimmy said: "Sometimes, two opposing sides are not mutually exclusive, one side trying to destroy the other. For us, more often than not, two opposing sides are like ice water and hot water colliding. If handled properly, they can merge into warm water that's easy to drink."

"We Hua Xia people do things so long as we don't tear each other apart completely. Generally, we give everyone some room. So in this situation, I think you're better off being a mediator, letting them continue to argue and negotiate, and then use your identity and position to provide a platform for both sides. Of course, the platform should allow Knight to gain some face while losing some benefits, and others to lose face while gaining practical benefits, on one hand ensuring that Knight won't use their leverage against them, and on the other hand making sure they're willing to give in."

As he grew up, his education was that you should never consider reconciliation with enemies, only victory or defeat. If you're weaker than your opponents, learn to restrain yourself; if you're stronger, take them down with one strike.

However, Leaf's reminder also opened up a new perspective for him. Besides treating people like slaves or beasts of burden, he could also treat them like horses and carriages that needed to be driven.

Understanding this level, he no longer felt anxious and smiled, saying, "Let's see how far they can go."

Leaf looked at the crowd who were excited yet nervous, with a calm smile, "I think they'll get stuck soon. One side will realize they can't do anything about the other, and the other will be wary of them, but the object of their fear won't reveal their attitude for the time being. So they'll be uncertain. Therefore, I estimate that everyone will be left riding a tiger after the commotion."

The current argument was indeed less intense than before.

Jimmy, despite wanting to retreat with everyone else, wasn't really concerned about Jimmy's situation. His focus was on Steve Rossiter.

In his view, he was only afraid of Steve today.

As Steve had just declared that Jimmy was his friend, that meant declaring his attitude to support Jimmy.

So, he truly couldn't afford to offend Jimmy.

But now, Jimmy seemed to be getting a bit too far ahead. He didn't even ask Steve's opinion and directly wanted to stand up for all the high-level partners. Now it's time to see if Steve will continue to firmly back him up; if Steve speaks out, that would mean he had lost completely.

That's why he was quietly looking at Steve, wondering if Steve would stand up for Jimmy at this moment.

And those who had similar experiences to Jimmy were also waiting for Steve to speak out in support of Jimmy. After all, Jimmy was fighting for their rights and just now, Knight had also made his stance clear - he wouldn't be difficult with Jimmy again, but he wouldn't give up on others either. If Steve didn't stand up for Jimmy, Knight would definitely not give Jimmy any face. JrNovels.com
