Chapter 190 A Greater Price
Zheng Yaoxian's expression grew serious, and he nodded slightly, seemingly pondering Su Ming's words. "Your ability is truly unique. It allows you to delve into the minds and identities of others, which in itself carries a tremendous mental burden," Zheng Yaoxian said. "During missions, using this ability isn't just about manipulating and observing others; it also has a lasting impact on your own psyche."
Su Ming was silent for a moment, a complex wave of emotions welling up in his heart. He finally understood that the challenge he faced was not just external enemies, but also internal torment. "So, how should I deal with this mental exhaustion?" he asked.
Zheng Yaoxian thought for a moment, then said, "First, you need to learn to take effective breaks between tasks to maintain a balance between body and mind. Second, you could consider psychological counseling and training to improve your adaptability. Furthermore, perhaps you could seek a more scientific way to manage and regulate your abilities."
Psychological exploration and adjustment
At Zheng Yaoxian's suggestion, Su Ming began receiving psychological counseling, attempting to adjust his mental state through professional means. His counselor was an expert within Juntong, skilled in handling psychological issues in high-pressure environments.
During each consultation, Su Ming described in detail his experiences with using his "identity attribute" ability. The counselor helped him analyze the impact of this ability on his inner self and suggested some coping strategies. These included setting aside dedicated relaxation time, practicing relaxation techniques like meditation and deep breathing, and cultivating healthy lifestyle habits.
As he gradually adapted to these new methods, Su Ming felt a sense of relief. However, he knew the pressure this ability brought wouldn't disappear easily. He had to learn to manage his mental state more effectively to maintain both work efficiency and personal health.
Cooperation and integration with the team
At the same time, Su Ming also began to collaborate more actively with his team members. He knew that it would be difficult to handle all challenges alone. Therefore, he tried to leverage the strengths of teamwork in his daily work, fully utilizing the expertise of other team members to share the pressure of the tasks.
During a routine meeting, Su Ming and his team discussed upcoming tasks and challenges. Everyone on the team expressed admiration for Su Ming's abilities and expressed their full support. In this atmosphere of teamwork, Su Ming felt a long-lost sense of comfort. He realized that team support and cooperation were not just necessary for work but also an effective way to regulate his mental state.
After the meeting, Su Ming shook hands with each team member and thanked them for their support. He felt a warmth and strength in his heart, which made him more determined and confident in facing the challenges ahead.
Facing future uncertainty
Over time, Su Ming gradually adapted to the new work rhythm and, to some extent, alleviated his mental fatigue. However, he knew that the tasks and challenges ahead were still full of unknowns and dangers. He must remain vigilant and ready to respond to new threats at any time.
On a quiet evening, Su Ming sat in his office, gazing out the window at the starry sky. His thoughts drifted back to the task he had just completed and the new one about to begin. Though his inner fatigue remained, he felt a newfound strength—a new understanding of his own abilities and a readiness for the challenges ahead.
He smiled faintly, his heart secretly resolute. He knew that no matter how bumpy the road ahead, he would continue to move forward with even greater tenacity. In this challenging world, he would constantly explore and adapt his abilities to maintain both efficiency in his mission and his own health.
Inside Juntong's executive meeting room, the atmosphere was heavy and tense. Zheng Yaoxian stood at one side of the long table, his face solemn, his hands tightly gripping a folder beside it. The executives sitting across from him seemed preoccupied with their own concerns, their expressions varying. A subtle tension permeated the entire conference room, as if the air itself were compressed to the point of suffocation.
Su Ming stood in a corner of the conference room, his eyes occasionally scanning the attendees. He knew his current situation was extremely awkward. As Zheng Yaoxian's right-hand man, he naturally supported Zheng Yaoxian's decision. However, amid the heated debate within the top leadership over whether to eliminate "Plum Blossom," Su Ming was well aware that this was not just a simple decision, but a complex game involving the interests of all parties.
Debate among senior officials
"Meihua's existence is a hidden danger to us, but do we really need to take action against her now?" A senior executive asked calmly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone.
Zheng Yaoxian's voice was firm and powerful: "The existence of Meihua has seriously affected the security of our operations. Her intelligence network is not only complex but also deep. If we don't take action quickly, she may continue to pose a threat to us."
Another senior executive frowned. "But if we act now, it might alert her and cause her to disappear. Should we consider first gaining a complete understanding of her movements before deciding on our next course of action?"
Zheng Yaoxian retorted, "We have waited a long time. Delaying will only make the situation worse. Meihua's actions have disrupted our plans many times. She must be eliminated."
Su Ming listened quietly, his complex emotions making it difficult for him to calm down. He knew he had to find his own side in this argument, but he couldn't easily reveal his intentions. His mission was to ensure his own safety while completing the upcoming mission - this was the dual pressure he had to face.
Su Ming, caught in the middle
After the meeting, Su Ming and Zheng Yaoxian had a deep discussion alone in the office. Zheng Yaoxian sat behind his desk, his expression serious. He turned around and looked at Su Ming with a sharp gaze: "Su Ming, what do you think about this matter?"
Su Ming knew his opinion could affect the entire plan. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "Director Zheng, I understand your concern about Meihua. Her intelligence network has indeed caused us considerable trouble. However, I believe that before taking action, we need to ensure that all intelligence is accurate. Any hasty decision could cost us even more."
Zheng Yaoxian frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied. "You mean we still need to wait? We've been waiting for a long time, and time won't allow us to delay any longer."
Su Ming said hesitantly, "I think we can consider designing a precise trap to lure out the plum blossoms. This will not only minimize our risks, but also ensure that we catch the real plum blossoms."
