368 The Virtues of Lin You (2/2)
I'm starting to miss our Yameng. Wang Baole shut his eyes. The image of Bunny surfaced in his mind. As he stared at her in his mind, he soon felt as if something was missing. The image of Zhao Yameng slowly appeared next to Bunny.
It's a pity I couldn't transfer her over to Mars. Else, with Zhao Yameng and Zhuo Yifan here, the Adonis Association would be able to take over the whole Martian planet. We still don't have enough members in the Adonis Association though. Wang Baole sighed. He started considering who should fill the last opening for vice mayorship.
He kept thinking, then suddenly, he thought of Lin Tianhao.
Even though he had recommended Lin Tianhao to become the dean of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy, he started thinking about how well Lin Tianhao followed his orders and how powerful his father was. He considered adding him as a member of the Adonis Association.
I can't have my enemies fill the positions of my vice mayors. Li Yi and Kong Dao definitely won't cooperate with me. Jin Duoming's just interested in being around Li Yi, so who knows how much help and support I can get from him during critical moments… Wang Baole's caution grew as he thought further. He realized that he couldn't allow his vice mayors a chance to gang up on him. He couldn't lose sight of that possibility while trying to get as many resources as possible for his new city zone.
He immediately realized that he needed an ally as one of his vice mayors. After some thought, Wang Baole didn't hesitate as he sent a voice transmission to Lin Tianhao. He told Lin Tianhao that he intended to recommend him as a vice mayor. Lin Tianhao hadn't yet recovered from his shock of becoming the dean of the academy before he was stunned again by what Wang Baole told him. Emotions of joy and extreme excitement flashed across his face.
”Dean, I…”
”Tianhao, do a good job. Remember what I told you before? I, Wang Baole, will never forget my friends. As long as I get a promotion, I'll pull you along as well. At first, I wanted you to take over my position in the academy, but I've since given it greater thought. With the capabilities you have, you should be standing on a greater stage so that you have a chance to showcase your abilities!
”Tianhao, I've given you this stage! Let both of us build and realize our dreams in the New Mars Region!”
Wang Baole spoke with passion. Lin Tianhao shook with excitement, and his brain was buzzing. He didn't know what else to say. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him!
Lin Tianhao took in a few deep breaths, then said, ”I… I have to inform my father!”
”Go!” Wang Baole was pleased with the outcome. He wanted Lin You to know that he was a man who knew how to return a favor with a favor. He knew that the more he groomed and pulled Lin Tianhao up the ranks, the greater the alliance between himself and Lin You would grow!
It was a reassuring thing to have such an experienced and cunning man with elevated status and authority as an ally. He needed only to handle the matter of Lin Tianhao properly.
Wang Baole grew pleased with his deepening understanding of what he had learned from the high officials' autobiographies. Lin Tianhao ended the transmission with him and excitedly sent a voice transmission to his father.
Lin You simply smiled faintly when he found out about the matter. His eyes were colored with deep satisfaction and approval. He hadn't told Lin Tianhao, but he made a gamble when he decided to stop his son from participating as a candidate for mayorship!
He had gambled on Wang Baole's success. Once Wang Baole became the mayor, he might not immediately decide to promote Lin Tianhao and transfer him to his city zone, but as he started work in the foreign environment, he would start to consider pulling familiar people over and placing them as deputies in his office.
When that time came, the only person he would and could think of would be Lin Tianhao!
Even if he made a losing bet, he would still push for Wang Baole to become a vice mayor. Lin Tianhao would still become the dean of the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.
He would win either way. This was where Lin You showcased his full cunning!
Lin You had another virtue… he never treated anyone as an idiot. Even though he felt that Wang Baole hadn't yet seen through what he was trying to do, he knew that as Wang Baole became exposed to more situations and gathered more experience, he would soon realize what had been going on all along. It wouldn't be to Lin Tianhao's advantage if he were made to come to that realization then.
That was why Lin You decided to make full use of the experience he had accumulated. Now that Wang Baole had reached a critical stage in his career, Lin You was going to give him… an intensive lesson!
He was confident that the advice he was going to give Wang Baole would resolve any tensions between them. Even if Wang Baole realized what he had been up to all along, he wouldn't carry any unhappiness or displeasure towards him or Lin Tianhao!
