"Oh, I'm going to look for you, Mr. Thompson, have you noticed the questions from those reporters today?"

Before Thompson could speak, Lu Yiqi took the initiative and said with a smile on his face. The words of joking are like ordinary chatting.

Thompson was about to question and stopped talking, looking at Lu Yiqi in confusion, waiting for his next sentence.

Lu Yiqi seemed not to notice Thompson's expression and said with a smile, "You said, how many New York media were there today?"

New York media?

Thompson didn't react.

"We just won a playoff game and they can't wait to start stoking the fire."

"First I tried to provoke the relationship between Driver and other wide receivers, then I tried to provoke the relationship between players and coaches, and even my contract renewal was discussed. I tried every means to disrupt the morale of the army. Does this mean that New York has realized our threat?"

"Mr. Thompson, is this a good thing?"

Thompson looked at Lu Yiqi with a smile and blinked at him, as if saying: You are so smart, you can definitely see the tricks of the reporters. These are all conspiracies by the New York media to disrupt the morale of the army. You have already seen it, right?

New York Giants, defending champion, opponent in the Green Bay Packers Division.

New York Media!

A flash of light in my mind, all the keywords were connected. Thompson was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and his smile bloomed, concealing his inner hesitation, "A good thing, of course, is a good thing, which shows that we are also a threatening team now."

"Look, the psychological battle before the game has started early. Let me tell you that Coughlin is a very good at psychological battle. This was the case when he played against the New England Patriots last year. Even Bilicek was accidentally caught, and you need to pay attention." Thompson continued.

Lu Yiqi also expressed his understanding, "That's it," and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, they didn't know that Mr. Thompson had been prepared for such a situation. Before the playoffs opened, we had reached a consensus on the renewal. Now the most important thing is the playoffs. Everything else can be temporarily sidelined. Our team can unite as one, and this is the most important thing."

"Yes." Thompson showed a satisfied look and nodded slightly. The irritability and suspicion in his heart disappeared without realizing it. He was very satisfied with Lu Yiqi's performance and agreed with his "wise decision". "Yes, the playoffs are the most important, and it would be better if you can understand."

Lu Yiqi's expression did not relax, but was a little cautious. "Mr. Thompson, the reporter will definitely continue to harass him in the future. How should I deal with it? I am still worried that the leaders above may have misunderstandings, and the players below may also have some turmoil."

Thompson looked at Lu Yiqi's slightly nervous expression and couldn't help but think: It's true that he is a young man, and he has never experienced such strong winds and waves, and he is still in a panic. So, he is here to find his own idea.

"Don't worry, leave the above matters to me, don't worry." Thompson gave Lu Yiqi a reassurance, "If the reporter asks another question, you will push the question to me, saying that we have discussed the relevant issues. The playoffs are the top priority, and we have reached a consensus."

"The following things, you and the coaching staff should work harder, just be tough, don't worry, throw those thorny players over and clean up for me. You just focus on the game and training. We have been working hard for a season and can't relax here. Just let it go."

Thompson said with a big bag, and his heroic attitude made Lu Yiqi's nervous expression completely relax, and he finally showed his smile.

Such a subtle expression change made Thompson smile happily. Sure enough, young people are young people, they are not well-educated and do not know anything, and in the end they still need him to organize it.

Thinking of this, Thompson patted Lu Yiqi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you did a good job, everything is very good. Don't worry, no matter what the final result of this year's playoffs, I will fight for you a big contract. Don't have the burden, do it well, that's all."

Lu Yiqi's eyes lit up, and his relaxed and happy smile bloomed from the bottom of his heart. His honest and sincere eyes seemed to trust Thompson wholeheartedly.

Thompson felt more and more relaxed, and the doubts and confusions had long disappeared. Then he began to make a long speech as a person who had experienced it:

How should we prepare for the playoffs, how should we respond to psychological warfare, how should we adjust next... and so on.

After nearly twenty minutes of talking, Thompson turned around and left with satisfaction, his brisk steps and loose shoulders completely lost their previous tightness.

Watching Thompson turn and leave, Lu Yiqi truly relaxed—

After a season of getting along and confrontation, Lu Yiqi had already figured out Thompson's character. He knew Thompson's concerns and Thompson's way of thinking. Therefore, in the face of the foreshadowing laid by the reporter, he did not need to explain or argue, but followed Thompson's idea and handed over the initiative to "solve the problem" to Thompson, and the rest was solved.

The conversation just now was not long or complicated, but Lu Yiqi turned passively into active attacks, and made full use of suggestive guidance, and the most important tactical weakness. It can be said that it is linked together, one detail connects one detail, and firmly controls the rhythm and initiative of the conversation, which subverts the situation.

Controlling the overall situation with a soft and hard manner, and turning the world quietly. Such interpersonal relationship processing in offices is indeed not difficult for Lu Yiqi.

I'm afraid the reporters never expected that the landmines they had buried with great difficulty were easily removed by Lu Yiqi in a few words; and after this small "promotion" today, Thompson trusted Lu Yiqi more and more, and was willing to take the initiative to fight for a better contract for Lu Yiqi. The reporters unknowingly completed an epic assist. Lu Yiqi still needs to thank the reporters—

If there was no reporter digging a hole and waiting patiently, Thompson's suspicion would also grow, but Lu Yiqi would not have such a open opportunity to turn the situation around, and the situation might be different in the end.

Turning around, Lu Yiqi could see Augustus standing at the corner of the corridor with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

Thompson is a fan of the authorities, but Augustus is a bystander. Moreover, Augustus is well aware of Lu Yiqi, and he can see that his gentle and gentle attitude is not Lu Yiqi's true face at all.

"You, you." Augustus laughed smugly as if he grabbed Lu Yiqi's braid.

Lu Yiqi didn't mind at all. He raised his eyebrows slightly and accepted Augustus' "accusation" with confidence, which made Augustus dumbfounded, "Devil! You are the devil!"
