Chapter 402 Game Play
"Xiao Zhou," Yan Yu typed, "I have a question for you."

Zhou Hongyu did not reply, but Yan Yu did not wait for her reply foolishly. He just typed the question quickly.

[Conquer others with virtue]: As a team leader, how do you treat your teammates equally?
After a while, the other side sent back a question mark.

【hot and spicy】:?

[Conquering People with Virtue]: Let me give you an analogy. It's January, and Chinese New Year is coming soon. If Qin Meng and Tang Xiaolian both invite you to their homes for New Year's Eve dinner, what would you do?
【Zhao La】: Get lost.

Is it okay to reject them so bluntly? What if it devastates them to the point where they lose their appetite, become distracted, and even lose focus during training? That would be quite troublesome, wouldn't it?
[Zhao La]: I tell you to get out.

[Conquer people with virtue]: Although one word is changed into five words, the meaning remains the same.

The other party stopped replying. After a while, Zhang Huaide suddenly sent a message.

[Speaking in a fluent manner]: Does Captain Yan have any personal questions? Captain Zhou is busy, so if Captain Yan doesn't mind, you can tell me.

[Conquering People with Virtue]: Xiao Zhou asked you to come, right? Oh, here's the thing. I was thinking about how, as captain, I can maintain equality within the team.

[Speaking fluently]: Captain Yan, with all due respect, this is impossible.

[Speaking eloquently]: Everyone has different values. Even if the treatment is exactly the same, some team members may be grateful, while others may feel they are being unfairly treated. If the goal is to satisfy everyone, then the right strategy is definitely not to treat everyone equally.

【Conquer people with virtue】: Xiao Zhang, tell me in detail.

[Speaking eloquently]: The truly effective strategy is to make adjustments based on the circumstances of each of them, rather than giving them the same treatment across the board.

[Speaking in a Changing Language]: From a management perspective, managers need to effectively manage subordinates' expectations and then determine how to meet them most cost-effectively. Some requests can be met directly, some can be addressed through cheaper alternatives, and some require outright rejection. Of course, specific issues require specific analysis; I'm just offering a general guide here.

Yan Yu pondered for a moment.

So, I need to manage their expectations, right?
What did Yunjin want? It was probably a sense of security. After all, as an only child, single from birth, and a young woman with a literary bent, she had rich but unrealistic fantasies about romance. He wanted to give her some sweet treats from time to time to make her feel that her intimacy was rising.

As for Ningning, who says one thing and does another, and refuses to admit her feelings, she probably needs a somewhat ambiguous relationship. Not too close to trigger her tsundere nature, but not too far away to make her secretly cry. As long as you manage the distance, it should be fine.

Got it! Got it, got it, got it. Isn’t this quite simple? Hahaha!

[Conquer people with virtue]: Thank you, Xiao Zhang. Although this may be a bit unethical, there is no better way. I have decided to adopt your idea!

[Speaking fluently]: ...I looked at the chat log just now and confirmed that I did not provide any "immoral ideas".

[Conquer people with virtue]: Don’t worry about this. I’m leaving first. You go on with your work.

Yan Yu put away his phone and looked up, only to see the girls looking at each other in silence. They must be chatting about something through voice messages again.

"Everyone, please don't just stand there." He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat your food."

Chen Lingyun had chosen the hotel. Because of the previous school commotion, everyone knew they couldn't eat in the cafeteria anymore, or they'd be surrounded by their classmates. So they'd chosen a private VIP room in this supposedly tight-lipped luxury hotel. It was spacious enough for dining, drinking, playing games, and partying, and even had beds for everyone to sleep in.

It's strange, why do we need a king-size bed in a private room? What kind of customer would want such a bed?
After dinner, Yan Yu leisurely took out a toothpick to pick his teeth, and saw Xie Ruoxi run to the TV and play Goose and Duck Kill with a game controller.

Perhaps because they were full and bored, and didn't want to go home immediately, the girls all came over to watch the fun.

"This seems like Werewolf," Lin Ning commented with a frown. "What's the point of a game where you have to rely on lying and cheating to win? The better they are at playing this game online, the more I'll want to stay away from them offline." Xie Ruoxi laughed dryly. She had won five games in a row, and she always won to the end - she was the kind of person that Ning Ning said was good at lying.

"Let me play with it." Zhao Yuanzhen was actually quite interested. Although the demonic woman in this timeline hadn't yet committed all sorts of evil, she still had a natural interest in doing bad things.

"Wait a minute, let me finish this level first." Xie Ruoxi said quickly, "The presentation phase is about to begin."

In this level, her identity is Big Goose, which is the so-called "good camp". She needs to convince her companions to believe in herself and find out the "liars" in other camps... In short, Yan Yu watched for a while and roughly understood how to play the game.

I also learned why Xie Ruoxi was able to win five games in a row. This was because she was very talkative, good at playing dumb, and had a completely different personality from the socially anxious Big Rabbit offline. Nine out of ten male players on the opposite side would be fooled by her, and female players had a 5% chance of being deceived by her.

The online players took turns speaking, each of them giving a lengthy analysis, and finally it was Xie Ruoxi's turn.

She was considering her words when she suddenly heard Su Yunjin say:
"The first person to speak is lying."

"Ah, why?" Xie Ruoxi asked curiously.

"I'm quite sensitive to people's voices," Su Yunjin said. "His voice trembled a bit when he spoke. He must be trying to hold back a laugh."

"Sister, this is unacceptable!" The male player on the opposite side who had spoken first screamed, "How can you hire outside help to cheat?"

"Ah, Ruoxi, are you on the microphone?" Su Yunjin quickly covered her mouth. "Sorry, I'm just reminding you, not talking to them."

"It's okay, Sister Yunjin said exactly what I wanted to say." Xie Ruoxi shouted shamelessly, "Let's vote him out!"

Thus, the first round of voting ended successfully, and the player who was pointed out by Su Yunjin as "holding back laughter" was indeed voted out.

The game continued for a few minutes, and soon it was time for the second round of voting. Suddenly, someone spoke up and said:

"Um... Magical Girl Xixi, right? I heard you call someone Sister Yunjin before, and then she called you Ruoxi. Are you Xie Ruoxi and Su Yunjin from the Zhenhai Team?"

The girls looked at each other.

The next second, Xie Ruoxi was quick to quit the game!

"Hahahaha, I almost got recognized." She stood up with an awkward laugh, "I shouldn't call you by your name."

"I haven't played yet." Zhao Yuanzhen was about to cry, "We agreed to let me play the next round..."

"It's okay, I'll register an account for you." Xie Ruoxi was comforting her when she suddenly heard Chen Lingyun say with a smile:
"What's the point of playing with strangers online? There are only six of us here, so we can just play the game right?"

"What does Lingyun want to play?" Su Yunjin asked curiously.

"Werewolf, Uno, King's Game, or Truth or Dare," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "I have no problem with any of them."

Yan Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly shuddered, and the painful memory of playing games with his girlfriend in his previous life instantly flooded his mind.

"No King's Game and Truth or Dare!" he shouted hastily.
