"They probably thought we had arranged dinner in advance but didn't invite them," Tu Zhiyi added, as if remembering something.

When he left, Song Xingyuan was in the living room. When he returned to the room, all four of them showed obvious surprise. Ding Luoying even asked, "Have you finished eating?" Obviously, it was because it was mealtime and he hadn't gone back yet. Lin Su was probably not in the room either. After exchanging information, they assumed he had gone out to eat.

He couldn't explain it, and it was awkward to stay there, so he pretended to go back to his room to get something and came out.

"That's good."

Lin Su didn't seem to care much and continued cutting the chicken on her plate. "There are two groups, so there's no need to do everything together. You can manage our group, and their group has its own leader. If there's anything, we can wait until we reach a consensus before the leader talks to you."

Tu Zhiyi paused for a moment upon hearing this: "Don't you want to be the team leader?"

He saw Lin Su stand up in the afternoon and subtly use photos to make everyone follow her lead, so he thought she wanted to become a protégé.

"I don't want to," Lin Su emphasized, giving him amusement as she stated bluntly, "I'd rather have the team leader serve me."

For example, in their group, Tu Zhiyi was responsible for all the schedule planning and project reports. She only did two things: list the places she wanted to go, and after reading them, she would say if there were any changes.

Tu Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment. Seeing that Lin Su seemed genuinely unconcerned, he felt a little conflicted. After a brief pause, he asked, "What time are we leaving for the party tonight?"

"8:50, at the elevator."

……

at the same time.

Suite No. 726.

The four sat around the TV and, guided by a professional team consultant, reviewed the day's events. The first thing they did was go over the details of what happened that day.

"The problems are actually quite obvious."

On the other end of the screen, the young consultant, his hair neatly pulled back, adjusted his glasses. His tone was gentle, but his words were quite sharp:

"As an independent group, you have changed the relationship between the two groups from parallel to subordinate, completely losing your initiative. The main reason for this situation is the lack of a group leader. Without a group leader to unite the team, you have all become members of the other group."

"Throughout the process, Lin Su, who should have been a team member, took on all the functions of uniting the team, providing direction, and regulating the atmosphere. In other words, she was the actual controller of both teams, and the stability of the entire team currently depends entirely on her personal abilities."

"If changes aren't made in time, and one day she decides to stop managing things, the team will revert to its original state, where there's no sign of any cohesion."

The advisor, looking at the four silent individuals, continued:

"However, the fact that you held a separate group meeting shows that some of you have already realized the problem and are trying to find a solution, which is a good sign and a good start."

"In fact, Lin Su is an excellent reference point. Let's analyze her behavior first. Everyone can think about what you were thinking and what you did at that time."

The consultant shared previously recorded details of the incident on the screen:

"Her icebreaker was extremely natural and low-pressure. 'Take a picture for me,' it was a personal request, a simple action, and none of you would have refused if the subject were any of you. After taking the picture, she would then offer to take one for you, smoothly turning a one-way request into a two-way interaction."

"Up to this point, it can all be considered normal social etiquette, a one-on-one approach to building rapport, and it hasn't spread to the entire team."

"But then she asked, 'Who wants to go first?' This was a conscious effort to bring everyone into a shared experience, turning the photo shoot into a relay-style collective activity."

"She made the call, you responded, and no one raised any objections because taking photos was so simple; she was serving everyone. In the end, by sharing the photos, everyone had individual contact with her, and her leadership was established step by step through these small things."

The consultant paused for a moment at this point:

"That's the result. Now let's go back a bit. Why did Lin Su suggest taking photos?"

"Or to put it another way, haven't you all noticed that the team atmosphere is too quiet? If you have, why hasn't anyone suggested taking photos or other activities?"

"Do you think this kind of activity is too childish and meaningless? Or do you believe it can be left to its own devices and doesn't need special intervention? Or are you worried that no one will respond?"

"You need to understand that you are a team. Since you have a common goal, regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, the team leader should take the initiative to stand up when he is silent, and the team members should also give timely feedback when the team leader makes a suggestion. This way, everyone can get to know each other as quickly as possible."

"The effectiveness of the group activity was already verified in the afternoon. Everyone did a great job as a group member, especially Song Xingyuan, who was the first to respond when taking photos."

Suddenly called out, Song Xingyuan exclaimed "Ah!" and scratched his head.

"Now, let's imagine what would happen if Lin Su weren't here, and how you should deal with it."

The consultants began calling out names one by one:

"First, there's Lu Qi, the team leader. Now the team has fallen silent again. How do you plan to break the ice...?"

Inside the living room, the four of them continuously conducted scenario simulations, repeatedly reflecting on and confirming their roles within the team through questioning, as well as how to handle similar situations.

……

It was 20:49 PM.

The cool night breeze rustled the palm trees.

Lin Su changed into her platform shoes, checked her outfit in the mirror, and then said, "Time to get ready to go out."

"Ling~"

Qianyang, who was resting in the seashell, revealed herself and jumped out of the glass tank, turning into a water droplet and flowing into an exquisite seashell hair ornament as an embellishment.

"Ghost Puppet!"

Xiaoying also floated over from the balcony, her eyes fixed on her beast tamer, a dark purple vortex spreading in her eyes.

Ahri disappeared.

Lin Su let out an "Ah," smoothed her thick, light chestnut-colored long curly hair, which resembled seaweed, and fastened the hair accessory above her ear.

After tidying up, she bent down, picked up Bai Bai, and led the four little ones outside.

Elevator entrance.

Tu Zhiyi, dressed in all black, saw Lin Su, whose hairstyle had changed and whose facial features had also changed slightly, and pursed his lips to suppress the urge to laugh.

Is this disguise even necessary? People who know her can recognize her at a glance...

"Let Xiaoying help you change it too."

Lin Su took the eye drops that he handed her, which could temporarily open her spiritual eyes, and as she spoke, she tilted her head back and put one drop into each eye.

"Ghost Puppet~"

Before Tu Zhiyi could refuse, a dark purple hue spread across Xiaoying's eyes once more.
