Chapter 705: Chapter 705 Wang Changdong’s Speech Chapter 705: Chapter 705 Wang Changdong’s Speech Shu Yu looked around and noticed a few new faces.
No wonder Wang Changdong said he wanted to wait for everyone to arrive before speaking a few words–it seemed he intended to include these newcomers in the Hunting Team.
When she first arrived, she had gone through the same experience.
After everyone gathered, Ma Lu and Fang Xiyue came out of the living room and stood in the courtyard.
Wang Changdong stood on the steps, looking at the people below, and couldn’t help frowning as he saw the members of the fifth team dawdle like fools in the center.
The fifth team hurriedly took their places, but their eyes kept darting over to Wang Changdong’s side.
Why wasn’t Lu Shuyu standing in the courtyard but instead under the eaves?
Before they could ponder any further, Wang Changdong said, “Before you receive your tools, I have a few words to say.”
Shu Yu, “…” He really had the air of a leader.
Wang Changdong scanned the crowd and said, “Two days ago, the third and ninth teams took down a tiger together, and I presume you all know about this. I know you’re envious of the rewards they received, but mere envy is useless–you must strive hard. When you take down the next tiger, their today will be your tomorrow.”
“In the past few days, many have come to me, wanting to join the Hunting Team. Hunting isn’t for everyone, though, so I’ve picked a few who truly have the ability to come aboard like those new faces among you. Shortly, you’ll decide whether to form a team on your own or join with others.”
“Even though you lack experience, forming a team on your own shouldn’t worry you. You’re new, and there aren’t as many game to hunt yet. Besides, you have to believe in yourselves. And if that’s not enough, you have a living example right before your eyes.”
Wang Changdong looked toward Shu Yu, who was standing to the side, and said, “This Lady Lu here, as you all know, was the last one to join the Hunting Team before you, and she’s a woman. But it doesn’t matter because those who are skilled will shine anywhere.”
Shu Yu’s mouth twitched–apparently, she was a model example.
Wang Changdong grew more impassioned as he spoke. He felt that under his stewardship, not only had the Hunting Team bagged a tiger, but they had also caught the governor’s attention, seemingly carving a mountain in his life’s path, and he had a premonition that his future would be bright.
He made this speech today specifically to motivate everyone, aiming for another tiger. Even if there was no tiger, a Big Bear would do.
“Lady Lu and Miss Fang formed a team. Just the two of them, and on the first day, they bagged a roe deer… yada yada yada.” He recounted all the commendable achievements of their ninth team.
Finally, he changed tack, saying immediately, “It’s precisely because of their skills that they played a significant role in the last tiger hunt. Of course, the third team’s contributions were indispensable. Now, they have all received their awards; the third team got a mule carriage and a half-monthly day off.”
“Miss Fang took leave for her father and also found a new job for her mother.”
“And as for Lady Lu,” Wang Changdong suddenly raised his voice, his expression excited and startling the crowd, “Lady Lu, with her literacy and strategic courage, received high praise from the governor, and now she’s become the steward who can register names and distribute grain on our Manor.”
The scene fell silent.
