Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 402: Chapter 402 You’re Slandering! _1

A shout of anger.

Song Changkong suddenly slammed the table, glaring at Bai Xiaosheng.

The previously noisy venue fell silent abruptly.

Managers and directors gazed in surprise at the enraged Song Changkong on the stage.

Although some had sensed something was off at the beginning, nobody had expected the situation to escalate to such a serious level!

Song Changkong was actually publicly rebuking Bai Xiaosheng in front of all the senior executives and the visiting leaders from the group.

And even called him by name!

”This is going to be a disaster, a major disaster!”

Some couldn’t help but swallow nervously, looking back and forth between Bai Xiaosheng, Song Changkong, and the visiting leader.

Although the leader appeared calm, the look in his eyes when he gazed at Bai Xiaosheng was clearly icy cold.

The entire place was dead silent.

”Bai Xiaosheng, who gave you the authority to cause such a fuss? Even in front of the leaders, you dare to pull this stunt! Do you no longer see me as your general manager, or the group’s leadership?” Song Changkong said indignantly.

This outburst left the managers and directors below, afraid to even breathe heavily.

Even the most foolish understood by now!

This was no mere review meeting, but clearly a disclosure and accountability session for Bai Xiaosheng!

And to think, they had been offering nothing but praise...

Song Changkong’s gaze was cold as he scanned the room.

”This time, the leader from our group’s business affairs department, who is also the former general manager of Zhongjing Media—Mr. Wang Xincheng—came not only to provide guidance but also to investigate Bai Xiaosheng, the deputy general manager of Zhongjing Media!”

Song Changkong’s voice was harsh, ”It’s not for you to sing praises, nor to brown-nose in front of the leader. We’re here to discuss problems!”

All the managers and directors were shocked.

He had made it clear in public that issues were to be addressed?

Could it be that the high ranks of the group were greatly dissatisfied with Bai Xiaosheng?

That couldn’t be.

Although Bai Xiaosheng had always been very high-profile and somewhat overbearing in his actions, everything he did was beneficial to the company.

This was witnessed by all!

Moreover, how could the group know about Bai Xiaosheng’s ruckus here unless...

Someone had reported it!

In the room, the least of them was a manager, each one astute. With a bit of thought, they all understood that today’s meeting was likely a trap laid out for Mr. Bai by Mr. Song and Mr. Chen—

A Feast at Hongmen!

However, Mr. Bai had some real talent, managing to turn it into a commendation meeting while everyone was unsuspecting...

All the people below the stage immediately felt a huge sense of respect in their hearts!

Worthy of Mr. Bai, always playing out of the ordinary...

But now, what should they do...

The crowd exchanged glances, silent.

Bai Xiaosheng held the microphone, slightly bowed his head with a calm smile, saying nothing.

Song Changkong glanced at Chen Changqing, and Chen Changqing imperceptibly nodded.

It was his turn to speak!

Always having Song Changkong take the lead threatened their mutual alliance of faith...

If they were going to tear off the façade, why hold back any longer!

Chen Changqing slammed the table, straightened up, pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, and said sharply, ”Bai Xiaosheng, since nobody dares to hold you accountable, then I will! On the day you took office, without discussion, you fired the director of the new media department. Is that true!”

”In the new media department, without any performance evaluations or notifying the company, you dismissed management personnel based on your personal preferences and arbitrarily promoted people. Is that true!”

”At the film department’s banquet, knowing full well that the star Shang Wanwan was in attendance, and that her partnership was crucial to the company, you still created a disturbance and forcibly fired the male lead Lu Fanyu. Is that true!”

”You knew Ron and the Ron Team well ahead of time, knowing full well they had numerous issues and might even face a lawsuit, yet you wanted to bring them into our company. Is that true!”

...

Chen Changqing barraged him with questions.

In one breath, he enumerated ten major accusations against Bai Xiaosheng, ending with a crisp demand, ”Are these all your doing! Do you have anything else to say!”

The managers and directors present couldn’t help but swallow nervously.

Some things, when heard, seem to be true, but there’s obviously a bias, and the specifics are not for them to recklessly judge. However, some things Chen Changqing is saying are clearly distortions of the truth.

This is outright defamation!

But, who dares to say it...

The crowd looked discreetly at Song Changkong, who was nodding repeatedly, seemingly in strong agreement.

This is Mr. Song and Mr. Chen joining hands to target Mr. Bai!

A chill went through everyone’s hearts.

At this moment, whether what Chen Changqing says is true or not, it has nothing to do with them!

When the big ghosts fight, the little ghosts suffer.

It’s best to stay out of this affair, for anyone brave enough to speak up for Bai Xiaosheng, even just to make a fair comment, is taking sides. Thus, offending both a general manager and a deputy general manager of the company—how could that end well!

They might even get fired when they turn their backs!

Had the conflicts among the leaders become so irreconcilable?

It was thought that with Mr. Bai handing over power, the company would become more peaceful. Yet, it seems Mr. Song and Mr. Chen never intended to let him be!

The struggle for power is so frightening...

Irreconcilable until death...

”Whether you admit it or not, it doesn’t matter, these things are clear for all to see. What do you say, isn’t it so?”

Chen Changqing surveyed those present.

”Mr. Bai surely isn’t that bad...”

Someone murmured in an extremely low voice.

”Exactly, Mr. Bai has done many things to benefit the company!”

Someone whispered in agreement.

”Who’s talking, stand up and say it!” Song Changkong suddenly slapped the table and shouted loudly, ”One by one, you’ve all learned to speak dishonestly. Who’s been spoiling you! And this, in front of the group’s leaders—what does this look like!”

As a general manager with longstanding authority, his stern and forceful manner made even some directors tremble.

Instantly, there was silence in the meeting.

People from the New Media and Film departments looked particularly uncomfortable.

On one hand, Mr. Bai, whom they admired, was being attacked. It was clear that the general manager and deputy general manager were slandering him, and there was no one to speak up for him!

On the other hand, these people had families, wives, and children to support. They had their careers and dreams at Zhongjing Media.

Was it worth losing their livelihood just to speak a word of justice for someone?

Is it worth it?

Moreover, was their so-called word of justice effective at all? With Song Changkong readily pinning the label of ”Bai Xiaosheng’s confidant” on anyone, they could be making a needless sacrifice...

Is that worth it?!

People, including Gao Dazhi and Shi Yu, lowered their heads.

Torn between their lives, their careers, and their consciences, they felt an extraordinary pain and torment!

”Elder leader, you see, of the more than one hundred senior executives present, not one is speaking up for Bai Xiaosheng, which shows how unpopular he is!”

Seizing the opportunity, Song Changkong quickly whispered in Wang Xincheng’s ear.

Although Song was also curious about Bai Xiaosheng holding a microphone, slightly bowing his head without a peep, this was clearly an opportunity to add fuel to the fire, a tactic he was familiar with.

Wang Xincheng nodded slightly, endorsing Song Changkong’s words.

Song Changkong was secretly pleased and gave Chen Changqing a knowing glance. Chen Changqing scornfully smirked at Bai Xiaosheng.

See, Bai Xiaosheng!

We have the power on our side; even the moral high ground is with us. What do you have to fight us with?

Who dares to speak up for you!

Chen Changqing sneered.

”What you are doing is slander; it’s twisting the truth!”

Suddenly, an angry, crisp shout rang out.

It struck like thunder!

Lin Weiwei, her face frosty, took the stage!

If no one else would speak a word of justice for Xiaosheng, then she would!
