Inheritance of Two Trillion

After finishing the call with Bai Xiaosheng, Yin Haoran fell into deep thought without a word, while Yin Dongfeng had a look of urgency on his face.

”Now is really not the time to be in a daze, oh my dear father, we have to act fast!”

”No matter what action!”

”With each passing second, our Yin family is suffering losses! If we don’t take measures soon, it will be too late!”

”By the time Bai Xiaosheng is willing to back off, we’d be almost finished.”

”Dad!” Yin Dongfeng called out anxiously.

”Dongfeng, what do you think we should do now?” Yin Haoran looked at his eldest son and asked.

Yin Dongfeng was the future helmsman of the Yin Family, and after his father’s century, it was uncertain whether they would encounter such an overturning crisis again. Yin Haoran wanted to hear his thoughts.

”What else can we do? Either attack, defend, or... surrender!” Yin Dongfeng said with difficulty.

”How so?”

”Attack, which means to fight a counterattack against Bai Xiaosheng, sue Zhongjing Media for slander, organize online forces to fight back, and even fabricate some statements about Zhongjing Media deliberately smearing us. And actively contact Chen Changqing for help! But by doing so, we will truly become the pawns, the... cannon fodder!” Yin Dongfeng said with a bitter smile, ”And the chance of winning is almost zero, it’s just a do-or-die attempt to take a chunk out of him!”

Perhaps, they wouldn’t even touch a hair on their opponent...

Yin Dongfeng swallowed hard.

”What about defending?” Yin Haoran asked noncommittally.

”That would mean carrying out a comprehensive crisis PR, cutting losses, and minimizing damage in all aspects. Whatever needs to be compensated should be, whatever needs to be changed should be, make the public satisfied, and not give Bai Xiaosheng more opportunities to expand his victories.” Yin Dongfeng smiled bitterly, ”However, after all this, the Yin Family will inevitably be heavily impacted. Thinking optimistically, it would be several years of struggle to recover!”

”As for surrendering...” Yin Dongfeng stopped there.

That was easy to understand—it meant complete capitulation, begging for mercy.

Unlike the phone call just now, this time his father had to personally step in and submit to the Bai surname upfront.

To preserve themselves through humiliation, hoping just to be spared by the Bai!

Yin Haoran nodded, uncommitted, and stood up to leave. ”Dongfeng, I’m relieved that you can think this through. However, we have another option! You come with me to meet someone!”

They had another option?

Yin Dongfeng was also startled. Since earlier, his father had been saying that there was still someone who could save the Yin Family, someone who could stop Bai Xiaosheng from continuing his madness.

Was there really such a person?

...

Zhongjing City Government, Mayor’s Office.

Mayor Ji Mingyang was holding a tablet, reviewing the uproarious Haobei International affair on the internet, and observing the focal points of the public debate.

Mayor Ji Mingyang, a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair, sat there with a straight back, exuding vitality.

His expression was serene, showing no sign of emotional fluctuation.

The mayor’s secretary, Zhang Meng, stood quietly by the side.

Secretary Zhang, despite the cute-sounding name, was a nearly middle-aged man with an air of an engineering professional.

Secretary Zhang even made a trip to the Zhongjing Media crew’s opening ceremony.

Mayor Ji Mingyang liked new things and was adept at utilizing them. In this era, where new media prevailed, he paid special attention to the voices on the internet.

Accordingly, Secretary Zhang did the same.

Once the incident started fermenting, Zhang Meng noticed it and reported to Ji Mingyang.

What Zhang Meng hadn’t expected was that just seven or eight hours later, the situation would escalate to this extent!

”The voices online are quite intense, aren’t they?” Ji Mingyang said with a smile.

”Now, Zhongjing Haoran Real Estate Co., Ltd. has been thrust into the limelight,” Zhang Meng replied. ”I noticed that all the news articles link back to a formidable company—Zhongjing Media! So, I did some digging. Zhongjing Media, they’re not just targeting Haobei International. Just hours ago, they also filed a lawsuit at the court, accusing a project under Zhongjing Haoran of violating the portrait rights of several actors from their annual blockbuster! They’re claiming twenty million in compensation!”

Ji Mingyang nodded slightly, lost in thought for a moment, then chuckled lightly, ”It seems this is a war led by Zhongjing Media.”

”This Zhongjing Media has caused quite a stir, and yet there’s nothing inappropriate about it. They have solid evidence, the law on their side, and are completely relying on official channels and legal measures. In just one day, they’ve driven a large corporation into a corner,” Zhang Meng marveled. ”Even I admire the new CEO of Zhongjing Media.”

”The new CEO? Isn’t it Song Changkong?” Ji Mingyang asked, surprised.

He had been busy attending an important provincial meeting on industrial development and, upon returning, had been genuinely busy. He hadn’t known that such a significant change had taken place at one of the large enterprises in his city.

”Not anymore, it’s been replaced by a young man named Bai Xiaosheng. He looks to be under thirty; I’ve met him. He seems to be quite the impressive individual!” Zhang Meng seldom praised anyone, but today he had nothing but commendation for Bai Xiaosheng, ”I heard that Song Changkong was ousted by him, forcibly replaced.”

”Bai Xiaosheng?”

At the mention of this name, Ji Mingyang frowned slightly, ”This name sounds familiar. It seems I’ve heard it somewhere...”

Zhang Meng waited quietly.

”I feel like it’s right on the tip of my tongue, but I just can’t place it,” Ji Mingyang said, chuckling at his own bafflement.

”Should we intervene in this matter?” Zhang Meng inquired. ”Even if Zhongjing Media has all the right reasons, it isn’t necessary to drive another company to its death. It seems excessive and could be a significant loss for the entire Zhongjing economy.”

Before Zhang Meng had finished, Ji Mingyang was already shaking his head with a smile.

”Old Zhang, have you really taken a good look at these online opinions?”

”I have.”

”No, you haven’t. Or rather, you haven’t looked deeply enough or seen through them!” Ji Mingyang sighed. ”I noticed that whenever a public opinion seems about to become unmanageable, it mysteriously eases up. If it happened once or twice, I’d consider it a coincidence! But it’s happened at least a dozen times. It’s clear that someone is intentionally holding back. I think it’s this Bai Xiaosheng. He has no intention of completely destroying the other side!”

Really?!

Zhang Meng was astonished.

”Now go check if there is any friction between Zhongjing Media and Zhongjing Haoran. I think it’s not that simple. Let me tell you, the offensive you’re seeing might only be part of it! This Bai Xiaosheng might also be launching attacks on Zhongjing Haoran in other ways.”

Mayor Ji Mingyang had thoroughly analyzed and figured out most of the situation.

Zhang Meng was completely convinced.

”Speaking of which, I did hear that Zhongjing Haoran had given Zhongjing Media some trouble a while back,” Zhang Meng recounted what he had heard.

Ji Mingyang nodded slightly and said with a smile, ”Then it’s clear. This surname Bai’s young man is counterattacking, trying to scare the Yin Family.”

As they spoke,

the door to the mayor’s office was knocked. After permission was granted, a secretary peeked in, ”Secretary Zhang, Mayor, a Mr. Yin Haoran is requesting an audience.”

Yin Haoran had visited more than once, which is why the secretary reported for him.

”Look at that, the fight has even reached my doorstep,” Ji Mingyang laughed heartily. ”Alright, Wang, bring him over.”
