"Just how is such a selfless person as you able to come up with a system of Extra Staff and Cooperative Personnel?"
Li Yu quietly watched him speak.
Seeing that Li Yu was listening to him, Bai Tao thought his flattery had worked. According to his life experience, to get something done, one often needs to praise that person, putting them on a pedestal which compels them to act out of face-saving.
For instance, when borrowing money from someone, one should publicly praise them for being loyal and willing to help friends in trouble; a true brother indeed.
Then, when unwilling to repay the debt, one could praise their generosity and how they do not hold grudges.
In this way, even if it pains the person inside, there's a great chance they'll follow his lead given the face-saving aspect.
Tried and true.
Bai Tao didn't know much about Li Yu, but having encountered him a few times and seeing he was just a young man in his twenties, he somewhat looked down on him.
