Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 352: Chapter 352 You Dare Insult Me!_1

The meeting attended by only five people ended in just two hours.

Overall, Song Changkong was satisfied.

They had combed through thirty-five suggested amendments to the cooperation framework and reported them to the group.

It appeared to be sent out one by one by an assistant, not as a single report, but in fact, such electronically sent files always followed a fixed template and modules.

Before calling Bai Xiaosheng to the meeting, Song Changkong’s assistant had already prepared the background information for the meeting, including Kaisen’s bankruptcy and Special Envoy Kelson’s visit, in text form and filled it in. By the time the meeting minutes were sent, it formed a complete electronic file.

Once uploaded, no one, including the companies below and the uploader themselves, besides the group’s senior executives tasked with reviewing the document, had the authority to make any changes.

That is to say, the application to recruit Ron Team to Zhongjing Media had already reached the group.

Once the group approved, they could start hiring.

”When did you get in touch with Ron Team, was it Ron himself?” Song Changkong asked, recalling the past with some doubt and seemingly asking casually.

”Yes, it was Ron himself. He just sent me a message shortly before your assistant approached me,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

This was indeed an incredibly perfunctory and full of holes excuse!

Song Changkong gave him a deep look, then glanced at Chen Changqing.

He suddenly felt that both of these guys were hiding something from him.

Whether it was Chen Changqing or Bai Xiaosheng, the suggestions they made, now that he thought about it, were all remarkably concise and hit the nail on the head.

Did they seem like they had just thought of them? The more he pondered, the more it seemed they had thought this through well in advance!

There’s a saying, ”A man in a hurry makes no sense,” and Song Changkong, preoccupied with matters before and during the meeting, had unconsciously overlooked these issues. Now, the more he thought about it, the more peculiar it seemed.

”These two, they knew the news before I did!” Song Changkong thought with a start.

Bai Xiaosheng with Ron, Chen Changqing with William... not so simple, uh...

They were each mingling with Kaisen and Kelson people...

I’m the only one on my own!

Song Changkong grew wary.

However, looking at the current situation, whether it was cooperating with Kelson or recruiting Ron Team, both seemed like pretty good deals and posed no harm to him.

Unable to find an excuse to question them, Song Changkong maintained a smiling face and said to them, ”Regarding Ron Team, I think Mr. Bai should be in charge. Mr. Chen, you’ll handle the Kelson side. No objections, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changqing nodded, agreeing readily.

”Mr. William must be tired too. Take him to rest, and arrange a welcome dinner for this evening,” Song Changkong instructed his assistant.

The assistant nodded and left with William.

Song Changkong glanced at Bai and Chen, ”I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave. You two should get busy as well.”

With that, Song Changkong also left.

The entire fifth meeting room was left with only Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changqing. Chen Changqing stood up and walked to the door of the meeting room. Bai Xiaosheng thought he was leaving, but unexpectedly, Chen Changqing locked the door from the inside and walked back.

Chen, you’ve got something to say to me!

Bai Xiaosheng was stirred, but not at all surprised.

It would be surprising if Chen Changqing didn’t speak.

”Mr. Bai, what’s the meaning of this?!” Sure enough, Chen Changqing sternly dropped his facade and questioned Bai Xiaosheng.

”What’s wrong with me?” Bai Xiaosheng looked bewildered, his face the picture of innocence.

Acting, you’re fucking pretending with me!

Chen Changqing watched him expressionlessly.

”Oh, you’re talking about the Ron Team,” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, and seriously said to Chen Changqing, ”I won’t lie to you, I really did suggest that they go to Mr. Jiuzheng! But if they don’t agree, what can I do?”

Indeed, Bai Xiaosheng spoke with full confidence.

Chen Changqing looked at him suspiciously. He could no longer tell if Bai Xiaosheng was telling the truth or lying, or what his state of mind was.

This kid, too good an actor...

”As for Mr. Kevin’s side, the Ron team clearly stated they won’t go. I can’t exactly put a knife to their throats, can I!” Bai Xiaosheng sighed, ”Even if I forced them, it would be useless.”

”Fine, they don’t go to Kelson, so be it! But why won’t they go to my uncle’s? Is Zhongjing Media really offering better prospects than my uncle’s place?” Chen Changqing couldn’t contain himself anymore, he snorted coldly and scoffed, ”I’m afraid that you, Mr. Bai, have strongly advised them to come to Zhongjing Media instead, haven’t you? You want to add a big accomplishment to your resume! Hmm, to lure over a top European business consultancy team, the group would surely regard Mr. Bai with new respect!”

Chen Changqing’s sarcasm wasn’t without reason. Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t given away even a hint before, not a single heads-up, catching them off guard with this move was clearly intentional.

Chen Changqing was really irritated.

Especially since he had no way to explain to Uncle Chen Jiuzheng, just days ago he had been beating his chest, swearing he would handle things well at Zhongjing Media and keep an eye on Bai Xiaosheng!

And today, this kid Bai Xiaosheng pulled such a stunt!

How could Uncle be happy about this!

What would he think of him!

The more Chen Changqing thought about it, the angrier he became. It wasn’t just irritation; he felt a burning rage inside.

”Old Chen, if you insist on seeing it that way, then so be it. Anyway, it makes no difference to me.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed it off and rose to head toward the conference room door.

As if Bai Xiaosheng, the future president, needed to boast about such an achievement when his status alone would make the entire group bow down. Why would he need to seek credit in this affair!

”Bai Xiaosheng!”

As Bai Xiaosheng reached the conference room door and stretched out his hand to turn the doorknob, a low shout came from behind him.

He paused, turning around.

Chen Changqing looked at him with a detached expression.

”I know you have personality and talent, and sometimes I even begin to admire you,” Chen Changqing said coolly, ”But in the face of absolute power, you need to know what things you should not do, and who you should not offend! Otherwise, your talents and abilities will only lead to a more miserable end!”

”There’s nobody else here, which is why I’m saying this to you!”

”I need to remind you. Now, what you and I should do is find a way to persuade Ron to go to my uncle’s! Don’t cling to your folly! And don’t harbor any cunning thoughts. In front of my uncle, you’re just a mantis trying to block a chariot, deluding yourself!”

Chen Changqing’s last words were delivered with utter coldness.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Chen Changqing, ”Old Chen, for your kindly advice, I’ll give you a bit more insight as well. Don’t always think that others are deluding themselves; maybe you are the ant, and what you threaten is the great tree. An ant trying to shake a tree is not only ridiculous...”

”But also pitiful!”

Having said that, Bai Xiaosheng opened the door of the conference room and, without looking back, strode away.

Bai Xiaosheng!

Chen Changqing’s gaze turned icy.

I had given you a chance, and you insult me!
