Chapter 541: Chapter 258 The truth has been revealed_2

This was just an excuse he’s been using.

What is it?

He himself didn’t know what it was.

So naturally, it was quite difficult to say out loud.

“Uh…”

“This…”

Luo Yao stammered, struggling to utter a complete sentence.

“What’s wrong?”

Luo Ping glanced at Luo Yao beside him and then asked in a low voice, full of interest, “Could it be that the matter, with its massive amount of information, is so complicated that it has left you momentarily at a loss for where to begin?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao nodded repeatedly.

Good person, what a good person.

Just moments ago, he had been pondering what exactly to say.

Yet, the Family Head had directly helped him out of the predicament.

This allowed Luo Yao’s anxious heart to gradually relax.

“Indeed, as the Family Head has said,”

After nodding, Luo Yao continued, “The matter has an overwhelming amount of information, and it’s terribly complicated, leaving me momentarily at a loss for where to begin.”

“So, I need to carefully consider it.”

“I must think about how to present the full picture of this issue.”

Luo Ping silently picked up the cup of Spiritual Energy tea from the table.

He sipped and said softly.

“No rush, no rush, take your time.”

“I’ll wait for you…”

…

As Luo Ping and Luo Yao stopped talking,

the atmosphere inside the room

gradually became even more silent.

Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was leisurely drinking the cup of Spiritual Energy tea in his hand, now cooled.

The taste was indescribably exquisite.

And Luo Yao, seated next to Luo Ping,

was at that moment bowing his head,

seemingly contemplating how to properly convey his earlier words.

“This…”

“This…”

“The matter, roughly, started about half a month ago…”

Luo Yao spoke haltingly,

his words filled mostly with redundant and unenlightening phrases and quite a few repetitive thoughts.

And the issue he spoke of roughly concerned,

the various developments within Qingshi City,

and the areas he felt were wrong.

“Family Head, that’s roughly the situation,”

After finishing, Luo Yao bowed his head and took a deep breath in relief.

My goodness, at last I’ve finished.

Even though he didn’t really understand what he had just said,

as long as he could muddle through,

that was enough, wasn’t it?

Why think so much?

“Oh?”

“Do you really think so?”

After finishing his tea, Luo Ping silently placed his cup down,

turned his head, and asked Luo Yao in a low voice.

“Yes, yes,”

Luo Yao nodded somewhat reluctantly.

At this point, what else could he do but nod in agreement?

…

The atmosphere in the room

became even more silent.

With his head down, Luo Yao’s emotions grew increasingly tense as time went on.

Meanwhile, Luo Ping, seated at the main seat,

was slightly squinting his eyes,

giving the impression that no one other than himself knew exactly what he was thinking.

“The points you’ve just made do make some sense,”

“In a while, I’ll have someone carry them out,” he said to Luo Yao in a low voice.

Hearing this, Luo Yao looked up, somewhat puzzled, at Luo Ping beside him.

The points he had just made were purely blurted out on a whim.

Based solely on his own feelings.

Whether they were right or even clear to him,

was uncertain.

Yet, the Family Head had readily accepted his suggestions?

This, this, this…

That’s not a problem, right?

“Never mind, it doesn’t matter now,”

“As long as I’ve bluffed my way through, that’s all that counts,”

“Everything else is no concern of mine.”

Thinking this to himself, Luo Yao’s mood gradually returned from initial tension to its original calm.

Only…

What puzzled Luo Yao was,

why, after the issue had been fully discussed,

Why, the Family Head Luo Ping, who had already sat down,

suddenly stood up again?

And moreover, he fucking walked towards his direction.

What? What do you want to do?

What are you trying to do?

Don’t, don’t, don’t…

Don’t you fucking come over…

Don’t move, don’t…

Luo Yao watched as the man gradually walked towards him, apparently intending to take away the only unprocessed political task from the top of the stack next to him.

Is that something you can take?

Clearly, that was something absolutely not to be given to Family Head Luo Ping.

If it were taken,

and he saw all the political tasks below that had already been processed,

then all the effort he had previously spent,

the facade he had previously put up,

wouldn’t it all be exposed?

“Family, Family Head…”

Out of desperation, Luo Yao called out in a low voice to Luo Ping in front of him again.

“What else is there?”

Luo Yao did not pause his movements this time,

but directly picked up that political task from the very top of the stack.

“It’s over…”

“This time, it’s completely screwed…”

Luo Yao sighed somewhat helplessly, then felt somewhat resigned.

All the effort, all the pretense,

now, all exposed.

His good days in the future, he estimated, were probably coming to an end…

“Oh?”

“What is this, what’s the matter?”

Luo Ping picked up that one and only unprocessed political task.

After that, he looked at all the tasks that had been processed.

He couldn’t help but slightly frown, then he asked Luo Yao in a low voice.

“Uh, that…”

“That what…”

“An accident, it’s all just an accident.”

Luo Yao laughed somewhat awkwardly.

Luo Ping then put down that political task in his hand.

Afterward, he returned to his seat.

After thinking for a moment with a frown, he said softly to Luo Yao beside him, “From now on, the amount of political tasks you need to handle will be directly tripled, any problem with that?”

Luo Yao nodded with a near-tearful look, answering, “No, no…”

Now, what else could he respond with besides “no”?

Could it be something like, “Screw this, I’m not doing it, do it yourself, I’m not playing along anymore”?

To say that would indeed be quite satisfying,

but if he really said that,

it’s estimated that by the time he got back,

his own father would be waiting to break his legs with an iron rod.

The successor to the Luo Family headship, what a prestigious title.

Back when Luo Yao was being groomed as the next Family Head of the Luo Family,

the smile on his father’s face

seemed to stretch all the way back to his nape.

The smile lasted for several days without fading.

Now, if because of his own words,

he were to lose the title of the next Family Head of the Luo Family,

his future days were estimated to be ten, a hundred times more painful than now.

…

“Right.”

Inside the room, Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, seemed to have thought of something again.

He turned his head and said in a low voice to Luo Yao beside him, “You’ll be handling those matters you told me about just now.”

“Is that a problem?”

Luo Yao nodded again and said, “No problem, no problem…”

However, with so many things happening all of a sudden,

Luo Yao could hardly remember what exactly he had mentioned?

Was it about the planning within Qingshi City?

Was it about optimizing taxation?

Was it about increasing revenue?

Damn it, his head hurt.

He couldn’t quite recall…

“Good, since you have no problem with these matters,

let’s just leave it at that.”

“I naturally won’t say anything to your father about this,

you don’t need to worry too much…”

Luo Ping smiled faintly, then just said this.

Luo Yao gave no response to these words,

but there was a trace of silent resentment in his heart.

“What? You think I’ll be grateful to you for this?”

“Dream on!!!”
