Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: There’s No Feast That Doesn’t End_1

Teles Square’s charity dinner gathered numerous magnates, with the attendance slightly fluctuating from day to night.

The mayor and Master Song Kai made appearances, Wei Moran attended, and Lu Qingfeng from the Lu Family arrived, the lineup was extravagantly luxurious.

Guided by a well-known local beauty and host, the evening unfolded with one climax after another.

Bai Xiaosheng sat quietly in a corner, smiling and holding a glass of wine, without joining the magnates or trying to schmooze.

Sitting beside him was Shang Wenshu.

”Sun Xiangdong has been placed under investigation. The offences he committed will lock him away for no less than ten to eight years. Without him, Sun Corporation probably won’t last a few years. Some people who were close to Sun Xiangdong, like Zhuang Boyi, have also been arrested,” Shang Wenshu told Bai Xiaosheng, somewhat reporting to him, yet neither of them paid it much attention.

Sun Xiangdong really picked the wrong opponent this time, Shang Wenshu lamented.

All along the way, those who have opposed Bai Xiaosheng—Wu Qiuyan, Li Mingtong, Wang Ye, Sun Xiangdong—none had ended well.

Could ordinary people really contend with the elite of the corporate inspection team?

Shang Wenshu’s reverence for Bai Xiaosheng deepened by another measure.

”Wang Ye has also been put under investigation. I’ve nominated Manager Chen Jiutian to pursue his accountability. I think, Manager Chen will agree!” A hint of mockery couldn’t help but flash in Shang Wenshu’s eyes.

From the moment Shang Wenshu realized that Chen Jiutian intended to take action against Bai Xiaosheng, he’d been anticipating this outcome quietly.

Indeed, playing tricks with the inspection team never leads to a good result!

Bai Xiaosheng nodded slightly.

”Currently, regarding your position, I’d like to propose your promotion to Deputy General Manager,” Shang Wenshu probed.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, knowing well that he was not yet at the Deputy General Manager level, still fifteen minutes of stature short.

”Mr. Shang, I’ve been here for three months now, haven’t I?” Bai Xiaosheng looked at the stage and suddenly spoke up, asking softly.

Shang Wenshu nodded, his gaze flickering with complex emotions, feeling the premonition of what Bai Xiaosheng was about to say.

”It’s time to leave,” Bai Xiaosheng said, and unexpectedly felt a bit of reluctance. He looked seriously at Shang Wenshu and earnestly added, ”Actually, you’re not a bad person!”

Shang Wenshu, although initially intending to use him, had later put in a lot of effort and had a firm stance, which Bai Xiaosheng appreciated.

If he continued to stay, Bai Xiaosheng would need to challenge the position of General Manager, inevitably having to take down Shang Wenshu, and seize his position.

Bai Xiaosheng did not wish to do so.

Moreover, there was no work of challenge here anymore, and relying on daily operations to get by, he had no idea when he would be promoted.

Bai Xiaosheng had decided to leave.

After all, Zhenbei Group had countless subsidiaries.

Shang Wenshu was quite moved.

The inspection team’s evaluation was ending, and leaving was the norm.

Shang Wenshu awaited the final assessment from the inspection team like a student after an exam. Bai Xiaosheng’s comment, ”you’re not a bad person,” stirred some excitement within him.

”All feasts must come to an end. I hope I have the fortune of encountering you again!” Shang Wenshu’s tone shifted as he respectfully switched to a more formal ’you.’

This was not flattery, as the inspection team held higher status than him.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled faintly and nodded.

Without a word, Shang Wenshu stood up, bowed slightly, and walked toward the front.

This was, after all, Century Construction’s grand banquet, and as the general manager, he couldn’t always be out of the public eye.

”Now, if I may invite the mayor to say a few words!”

The beautiful host called out on stage, prompting enthusiastic applause.

Bai Xiaosheng fixed his gaze.

The charity fundraising segment had ended, with the government of Tiannan and Tengyun jointly establishing a new foundation.

The mayor took the stage, thoroughly endorsing the charitable actions of those present and recognizing the contributions of Century Construction.

Then, the mayor shifted gears, ”I have some good news to share: the selection for a green eco-friendly landmark has been initiated, and Teles Square will officially become one of Tiannan’s top three landmarks!”

This news was unexpected and astonishing.

The venue was instantly abuzz.

Bai Xiaosheng sat there, watching the excited people on the project like Chen Daya, Cheng, and Wang, who were as thrilled as children, which made him nearly break into laughter himself.

After this, these people should also reap a bountiful harvest.

”This is what you deserve,” Bai Xiaosheng silently mused.

The only regret for Bai Xiaosheng about this charity gala was that Wei Xuelian had not come; it was said that she had something come up at the last minute.

What could come up so late at night, especially here where her beloved Wei Moran was present?

Xuelian...

Lately, Bai Xiaosheng had increasingly felt that Wei Xuelian’s mood was subtly off, as if something were bothering her...

Bai Xiaosheng was slightly distracted.

”Project manager Bai Xiaosheng, where are you? Come up and say a few words!”

On the stage, the mayor asked with a smile, searching for him in the crowd.

Many in the audience, who didn’t know Bai Xiaosheng, looked surprised.

After all, that was the mayor, who was personally inviting a project manager to speak?

Simply unthinkable!

”Bai Xiaosheng, come on up, don’t be shy,” Lu Qingfeng teased with the microphone in hand.

The big shots were all deeply moved.

This Master Lu was the eldest son of Tengyun. How many tycoons in attendance wanted to cozy up to him, and it seemed he was acquainted with that Bai Xiaosheng?

From the tone, they seemed to be quite close?!

This was impressive!

”Bai Xiaosheng, come on, say a few words. I came here especially for your dinner,” Wei Moran also chimed in, holding a microphone.

Wei Tianhou actually knew Bai Xiaosheng!

Every top boss was astounded.

The mayor, Lu Qingfeng, Wei Moran—three pinnacle figures—all inviting this Bai Xiaosheng. Who on earth was he?!

Could it be that he was the one who made the Teles Square press conference and charity dinner happen?

After all, the tycoons were well aware of how Sun Xiangdong had been pressing down on Century Construction and Teles Square before.

And yet, Teles had turned the tables all of a sudden, with top-tier personalities showing up to support—they had been wondering how Century Construction had mustered such power.

Attributing it to Zhenbei Group’s operations wouldn’t fit the bill, as not a single Zhenbei bigwig showed up today.

With this in mind, it had to be this Bai Xiaosheng!

Moguls from various industries looked around with awe and reverence, only to discover a young man holding a glass of wine walking from the back to the front.

Everyone tacitly made way for him, watching the young man with awe and surprise, committing that face to memory.

After today, Bai Xiaosheng’s name would be known throughout Tiannan.

At this moment, in contrast with the festive and auspicious atmosphere here, Chen Jiutian, who had already left Tiannan and was in another city, was in a room smashing everything smashable to pieces.

He was like a furious lion, eyes bloodshot, face ferocious as he roared, ”Wang Ye, you son of a bitch! I trusted you so much, and you dare to betray me! I’ll make sure you die a horrible death, a horrible death!”

”It must be you, Bai Xiaosheng, you’re behind this! You’ve taken out another of my aces. I will not share the sky with you!”

After cursing out one person after another, with nothing left to throw, Chen Jiutian’s phone rang, and he yanked it out with the intention to smash it as well.

But the incoming number made him freeze.

After a few breaths, Chen Jiutian’s angry and fierce expression vanished into thin air; he answered the call calmly and gently, with a hint of reverence, ”Hello, is this... the Inspection Team?”

”General Manager Chen Jiutian, regarding the matter of Wang Ye, we’ve reported to the corporation that this person must be severely punished. As of now, aside from Shang Wenshu, do not touch any other management personnel in your subsidiaries.”

”Shang Wenshu will be promoted to the provincial industry head, and the notice will be issued later!”

”Okay!”

Chen Jiutian’s expression subtly changed, but he quickly agreed with apparent pleasure.

This time, Shang Wenshu was really getting a promotion!
