Chapter 46 - Chapter 45: Planning and Night Talk

'…Having finished with the contact information, I will now state my understanding.'

'I believe, Miss Talulah's predicament stems from nothing more than the following aspects. First, different voices have emerged within the group. Second, insufficient understanding of the initial slogan and internal spirit. Third, deviations have occurred in the team's execution and self-perception of their actions.'

'And these problems are essentially very easy to solve.'

'Let us first discuss the first problem. If Miss Talulah, you are the undisputed leader, then there should logically only be one voice within an organization. You are not a country, not rulers; there is no need to pay attention to too much noise. What you, still within the organization, need is a unified direction, a fist that can be clenched tightly. While listening to other voices is important, for an organization that is not overly large, it merely disperses strength.'

'So my suggestion for this problem is: retract the rights of other departments and managers, ensure your own voice is unique. Only by unifying your own will and commands can you ensure the smooth progress of subsequent work. This is the fundamental guarantee for an organization to become strong. But it is not the sole guarantee.'

'Second, it is obvious that no one in your team has truly grasped your thoughts, which is why such huge divergences have occurred.'

'I don't know if this is because you disdain explaining, or due to the lack of a political work team leading to communication failure; theoretically, this problem should not have appeared in your organization. But since it has appeared, it proves that your organization needs an internal factional purge.'

'This is also why I said there can only be one unified voice. Because only after unifying one voice can you identify those bad apples (害群之馬 - hài qún zhī mǎ), then eliminate them from the team to purify your own ranks. Only a united organization, a whole, can be considered a truly one's own organization. Although correct nonsense like 'prefer quality over quantity' (寧缺毋濫 - nìngquēwùlàn) is pointless to say much, it is still very effective. Ensuring there are no voices of resistance within your senior team is very important. Because you cannot ensure these voices of resistance won't turn into voices of betrayal one day, and the organization will suffer heavy losses as a result.'

'Since the organization gathered because of your ideals, then letting everyone from top to bottom understand your ideals is the truly crucial matter. Spirit can become dull. Many times, without emphasis, without review, you might not even notice your own spirit has deteriorated. So implementing with one voice from top to bottom, this is the second step.'

'And third, very simply, is organizational cohesion and subjective initiative.'

'As you said, their mental state is not good; I believe this isn't because they don't recognize your ideals. Quite the opposite, those who joined at the very beginning of your organization's creation undoubtedly believed in your theories. And their slackness after understanding indicates they don't consider this matter closely related to themselves.'

'But actually, establishing an organization cannot rely solely on slogans shouted between the top and bottom levels. It must be down-to-earth, truly carrying out one's cause; this is what an organization truly needs. That is, subjective motivation. They need you to prove, need the higher-ups to set an example, so they know what exactly they should do. There needs to be a model to take the lead. And after there is only one voice from top to bottom, and everyone understands your thoughts, you can first select a batch of people who understand most thoroughly and are willing to act for it, to set an example for your other followers.'

'Like a net, you are the central node, the high-level and core personnel spreading out from you are the nodes, constantly radiating downwards from the surroundings. Let everyone's will be unified with yours, let the entire organization attain pure purification and sublimation. If you still feel it's not enough, add some content regarding team building. For example, invite successful mid-to-high level members from successful organizations to lecture and provide experience education to grassroots members, letting successful cases inspire the motivation of the organization's bottom-level personnel.'

'This way, your team will radiate immense brilliance under your will.'

'More importantly, I have an ingenious formula and data to prove that human nature can be reformed and tamed; utilizing human greed and desire for one's own wants, human nature will burst forth with incomparably crazy brilliance. But there is simply too little space here, I cannot write it down.'

'Regardless, I hope these things can help you and your cause. These are just basic organizational management theories everyone understands, I can only speak some correct nonsense. Regarding your real predicament, I can only help this much. So regretfully, I cannot truly help you with anything.'

'But I hope my correct nonsense can provide some comfort to your anxious heart; if so, then my task is completed. Although I cannot truly help you handle your organization's problems, if these bits of correct nonsense can make you feel you have a clue, or gain a little inspiration, it is also my honor. Sincerely hope you and your organization can walk onto the normal track just like your noble ideal—although to this day, I still do not know what your cause is.'

'Your friend, Penguin Logistics Operator, Prophet Li Lin.'

'P.S.: Due to Chernobog political factors and other reasons, Penguin Logistics no longer transports orders to Chernobog. Please take note.'

This should satisfy Miss Talulah now, right?

Blowing on the ink marks on the manuscript paper, Li Lin carefully folded these papers, then stuffed them into the envelope addressed with the location Miss Talulah provided. He went downstairs, called an employee from another Lungmen express company for expedited letter delivery, preparing to send the letter in his hand over as soon as possible.

Under the inexplicable gaze of the other Lungmen express employee, Li Lin quickly sprayed a layer of plastic sealant on it, gave the courier an extra four thousand Lungmen LMD as an expedited fee—this was just a letter after all, not something overly valuable, nor was it gangster logistics, this price was already very expensive—and under the courier's 'looking at an idiot' expression, slowly returned to the Penguin Logistics building, preparing to go to bed.

This letter had quite a few words, took nearly two hours to write. Exusiai couldn't bear it long ago, went back to her room to sleep. And Li Lin also yawned, walked upstairs swaying, preparing to go back to his room to catch up on sleep.

Although helping people was happy, the continuous stream of events had already drained the bit of stamina he had painstakingly recovered.

However, just after walking back a few steps, Li Lin saw a faint light suddenly appear inside the Penguin Logistics room.

The door of the double dormitory room was suddenly pulled open, and Texas, wearing pajamas and holding a cup of coffee, walked out, almost bumping face-to-face with Li Lin who had just come upstairs.

"T-Texas?"

"…"

Looking at Li Lin, who jumped up startled, almost fleeing, Texas, holding the coffee cup and awake for some unknown reason, sighed faintly, walked over pattering in her slippers. Gazing at Li Lin, she pointed at the sofa beside her.

"Sit. I have something to say."

"…"

But I want to sleep?

Li Lin looked at the calm-faced Texas, sighed inwardly, obediently sat down, intending to see how this beautiful girl planned to torment him further.
