Chapter 1572 - 1571: The Plan

"Wait a moment."

Upon hearing Hussein's humble words, Umarov said, "When you notify these people, tell them this is a great chance for them to achieve success. If our Crescent Group manages to turn things around beautifully this time, their status within the industry will also rise significantly!"

"They might even surpass Pierre from The Times!"

Now, Umarov was completely rejuvenated, with a hint of excitement in his words. After witnessing the polarization of online opinions, his previous state of despair vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of exhilaration!

"Yes, boss!"

In response, Hussein spoke softly, bowing his head in submission, knowing full well that Umarov was heading for disaster!

Currently, online comments haven't polarized; what he's seeing is simply what Lu Yu wants Umarov to see!

After all, the essence of public opinion lies in hype. If everything goes smoothly, netizens lose interest. But if it experiences ups and downs with unexpected twists, the buzz skyrockets!

Hussein is a smart man, so he knows what outcome awaits Umarov for such actions!

Yet, despite knowing, Hussein still won't say anything, because he understands this is all orchestrated by Lu Yu; even if he sees through it, he dares not speak!

Because speaking up would cost him his life!

Thinking of this, Hussein nodded before turning to leave Umarov's office. As he exited, a deep and contemplative look flashed in his eyes.

...

"Is everything you said true?"

In a London café, Lu Yu sat in a corner seat, speaking calmly, "Did Umarov really gather a bunch of UK media personnel intending to stage a comeback?"

Lu Yu's voice was tranquil, indifferent, akin to discussing something very simple.

"Absolutely true!"

In response, Hussein started and quickly placed a document in front of Lu Yu, saying, "These are tonight's arrangements, all targeted at you!"

Hussein's words, filled with dread like a mouse meeting a cat, were timid and fearful.

"Targeted at me?"

Upon hearing Hussein's words, Lu Yu coldly glanced at the documents Hussein handed over, remaining motionless, with no intention of reviewing them!

Based on Hussein's words, Lu Yu clearly understood Umarov's intentions, which is why he didn't bother looking at the documents.

The supposed online polarization was orchestrated by Lu Yu's people; it doesn't actually exist!

Since the polarization is fake, the plan to countercapitalize on it is merely a castle in the air, destined to fail before it starts; hence Lu Yu won't pay much attention to it!

"N-no mistake!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Hussein hurriedly replied, his voice low, nodding like a pecking chick, displaying utmost humility.

"Good!"

Upon hearing, Lu Yu smiled slightly, taking a sip of coffee before asking, "Now tell me, where are they planning to meet tonight to discuss their plans against me?"

Lu Yu's voice was low and indifferent, his words carrying a sense of cold detachment, his lips curling slightly, as if discussing something very amusing.

"London St. George Hotel."

Hussein's voice was low, his eyes fixed on Lu Yu, his body trembling slightly, evidently due to fear: "Upon learning of their plans, I set the location at the St. George Hotel to facilitate your subsequent arrangements!"

Hussein's voice carried hints of depth amidst his fear. Though greatly intimidated by Lu Yu, he subtly flaunted his cleverness.

"Hussein, did you know?"

Hearing Hussein's words, Lu Yu spoke lightly, "In the distant Orient, there's a saying: sometimes ignorance is bliss. Being overly clever isn't always a good thing!"

When speaking, Lu Yu's voice was dark and cold, his eyes like blades piercing into Hussein, coldly speaking, "Especially when you're trying to outsmart me while guessing my intentions!"

Lu Yu gazed down with determination, his eyes as sharp as knives, causing Hussein's body to straighten in fright!

Hussein never expected Lu Yu to see through his thoughts so effortlessly!

It's crucial to gauge a boss's intentions to succeed in the workplace, a skill Hussein has mastered; otherwise, he wouldn't have climbed to his current position.

This time, Hussein attempted his old tactics, choosing the St. George Hotel for its open view and high safety, standing from Lu Yu's perspective.

He initially thought this would make Lu Yu very pleased, but to his surprise, his words invoked Lu Yu's displeasure instantly.

"I am rather carefree, generally speaking, I don't enjoy killing randomly."

Facing Hussein, Lu Yu looked down at him, his eyes sharp as blades, brimming with killing intent: "But if you try to outsmart me, I won't hesitate to kill you!"

When speaking, Lu Yu exerted force, gripping the coffee cup tightly.

Crack!

With Lu Yu's exertion, the coffee cup instantly cracked with a clear fissure: "Did you hear me clearly?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu's gaze darkened, staring at Hussein with frosty intensity!
