Chapter 304: Trying to Win Over Supporters
As the discontent she had sown within the team gradually grew, Li Ruotao finally launched her next strategy. She knew that simply stirring up doubts and conflicts would create a delicate atmosphere within the team, but to truly seize Ye Wan's leadership, she needed substantial support. This support clearly came from those members who were beginning to doubt Ye Wan's decisions.
Li Ruotao acted with extreme caution, knowing she couldn't appear too eager for quick success. She understood that to successfully win over these members, she had to win their hearts through care, understanding, and empathy, rather than directly raising anti-Ye Wan slogans. All of this had to be done through a quiet, gradual process of infiltration.
One day, while eating lunch, Li Ruotao noticed Fang Yue, the usually taciturn member, sitting in a corner, seemingly lost in thought. She had heard Fang Yue had recently been doubting some of Ye Wan's decisions, particularly her preference for core members. Li Ruotao immediately seized the opportunity and approached Fang Yue with a look of concern.
"Fang Yue, you seem a little worried lately. What's wrong? Are you troubled by something?" Li Ruotao's tone was gentle and concerned, and her eyes were particularly soft.
Fang Yue looked up, a little surprised by Li Ruotao's sudden concern. She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Actually... I've been having some thoughts lately. Some of the team's decisions are really hard for me to understand. I know Sister Ye Wan is doing this for everyone's benefit, but sometimes... I'm not sure if she's forgotten the rest of us."
Li Ruotao smiled faintly, already understanding Fang Yue's distress. She didn't respond immediately, but instead gently patted Fang Yue's shoulder. "I understand how you feel, Fang Yue. Actually, I've noticed similar situations. Sister Ye Wan is indeed a very capable leader, but sometimes she places too much trust in her core team and ignores the voices of us, the ordinary members. You know, as a team leader, the most important thing is to listen to everyone's opinions. Only when everyone has a say can the team go further."
Li Ruotao's words were like small pebbles, gently dropped into the lake of Fang Yue's heart. She felt a long-lost resonance, and her doubts began to release. "Do you think... wouldn't it be better if there was a leader who was more fair and listened more to everyone's voices?" Li Ruotao continued to guide Fang Yue.
Fang Yue was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and thought about what Li Ruotao said: "Well, I also think that if more opinions can be adopted, perhaps we can do better."
Li Ruotao smiled inwardly, having already prepared herself for the future. She continued patiently, "Actually, I've been thinking about this. If given the chance, I'll definitely listen more closely to every member's ideas and help everyone express their opinions equally. After all, a team isn't just about one person; the power of everyone is what matters most. I believe that through our combined efforts, the team will become more united and stronger."
"I feel a lot more relieved when you say that." Fang Yue raised her head, her eyes softening. "Thank you, Li Ruotao."
"It's okay. I'm only saying this because I care about everyone." Li Ruotao smiled gently. "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can always come to me and we can work together to find a solution."
Fang Yue looked at Li Ruotao, and an inexplicable warmth welled up in her heart. She hadn't expected Li Ruotao to be such a listener. Gradually, she let go of her uneasiness and doubts, and began to secretly agree with Li Ruotao's views.
Li Ruotao's strategy continued to deepen. She wasn't content with Fang Yue's support alone, but instead turned her attention to other members, particularly those who had begun to doubt Ye Wan's decision-making. She began to frequently interact with them, occasionally taking the initiative to sit next to them during lunch or breaks, quietly discussing team matters and skillfully steering the conversation.
During a conversation with Liu Ming, Li Ruotao once again displayed her skills. "Liu Ming, do you feel that Sister Ye Wan's decision-making has recently become more concentrated on those close to her? Sometimes, I really feel that the team's voices could be more balanced," she casually mentioned, her tone tinged with resignation.
Liu Ming was a thoughtful person. Although he had always respected Ye Wan, he had recently felt that he and other ordinary members were being treated unfairly. This was especially true when it came to important decisions. Li Ruotao's words rekindled his discontent.
"I've had similar thoughts." Liu Ming immediately found a kindred spirit. "Sometimes, I really feel like a bystander. Everyone is working hard, but it turns out that decision-making is often the responsibility of a few people. We all work hard, but we don't get the attention we deserve."
Li Ruotao was secretly delighted at this. She continued gently, "I completely understand how you feel. If I were the team leader, I would definitely pay more attention to the opinions of every member and ensure everyone feels included. Everyone should have a voice, especially ordinary members like us, who are the foundation of the team."
Liu Ming's eyes gradually brightened, deeply attracted by Li Ruotao's words. "Yes, I also think we should speak out more so that the team can truly go further. Li Ruotao, do you have any ideas for doing better?"
Li Ruotao smiled slightly and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely do better and ensure that everyone has equal opportunities, so that everyone can truly feel their importance."
Her smile and words were like a gentle breeze, quietly shaking the foundation of Liu Ming's heart. Liu Ming's original loyalty to Ye Wan began to waver at this moment. He began to trust Li Ruotao and silently cheered for her in his heart.
Through repeated interactions, Li Ruotao gradually gained the support of several core team members, including Liu Ming, Fang Yue, and Zhang Xiaofei. Rather than rushing them into expressing their opinions, she skillfully used daily care and empathy to win them over willingly. Gradually, her influence spread quietly within the team, and more and more members began to align with her.
Li Ruotao also knew that her actions were only the first step. To truly shake Ye Wan's prestige, she needed more support and more systematic actions. This team was destined to undergo a major change, and she was the central figure in that change.
