Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 464: Chapter 464: Bai Xiaosheng, I’ve long admired you!_1

The secretary led the way.

Yin Haoran, accompanied by Yin Dongfeng, entered the mayor’s office, where Ji Mingyang rose to greet them.

Seeing this, Yin Haoran quickened his pace and overflowed with a smile, ”Ah, Mayor Ji, Haoran has taken the liberty of coming unannounced. I apologize for the disturbance! I dare not trouble you to come out to meet us again!”

”It’s no bother, no bother. After all, we’re old acquaintances. Come, come and sit,” Ji Mingyang said warmly, inviting them to the sofa area.

Yin Dongfeng was pleasantly surprised by Ji Mingyang’s attitude!

He had never expected that his father had such a relationship with the mayor!

To visit the mayor without an appointment and be seen immediately! Moreover, to be personally greeted by the mayor!

One could ask, how many business owners in Zhongjing could enjoy such an honor!

Yin Dongfeng was excited.

No wonder his father was so confident! With the mayor in their corner, how could Bai Xiaosheng turn the world upside down on him!

The clouds in Yin Dongfeng’s mind cleared away at once.

”Mr. Yin, we can be considered old friends. While I was the deputy mayor, I frequently attended your project events,” Ji Mingyang said with a smile as he offered seats, ”In the past, you always welcomed me, now it’s my turn to welcome you, which is only fair.”

”I would never dare, never dare!” Yin Haoran replied with a laugh.

The group exchanged a few more pleasantries.

”Mr. Yin, you’re here this time probably because of Haobei International’s matter,” Ji Mingyang continued with a smile, ”No, it’s probably because of your Zhongjing Haoran, I fear Zhongjing Media has launched a full-scale war against you.”

”You already know about this!”

Yin Haoran was surprised, then sighed, ”This matter has truly blown up too much! Under the leadership of the new General Manager Bai Xiaosheng, Zhongjing Media is trying to bury Zhongjing Haoran! Sure, there is a conflict, but there’s no need to cut off all survival routes for the other side, which is rather harsh. We even pleaded with Bai Xiaosheng for mercy, but he was relentless. If this continues, our Zhongjing Haoran will be finished. That’s why I’ve come to you, hoping you could intervene.”

Yin Haoran was very shrewd in his approach.

Completely avoiding who’s right and who’s wrong, not discussing the cause, only focusing on the outcome.

To destroy a company does not go beyond the head, and having a major enterprise go under would certainly be a great loss to Zhongjing.

Zhang Meng gave Yin Haoran a deep look and thought to herself, ”He’s an old fox too. He must have been quite ruthless to that Bai Xiaosheng in the past; otherwise, why would they attack him so viciously without reason? Perhaps, they asked for it themselves.”

That’s the way it should be, but reality is complex, and there are many things to consider.

Ji Mingyang nodded.

”Old Zhang, could you please make a call to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, the General Manager of Zhongjing Media, and ask if he has time? I would like to invite him over for a chat,” Mayor Ji turned to his Chief Secretary Zhang Meng.

”I’ll get right on it,” Zhang Meng nodded and left the office.

Mayor Ji turned to the Yin Family Father and Son with a smile, ”Zhongjing Media, Zhongjing Haoran, those are revered enterprises in our Zhongjing. I do hope that you can cooperate more and differ less. I shall assume the role of mediator.”

The mayor had agreed!

”That would be a great favor, Mayor Ji!” Yin Haoran said with an even brighter smile.

Yin Dongfeng looked quite excited.

Ji Mingyang nodded with a smile and thought to himself—

Yin Haoran has come to propose peace without complaining or reporting a grievance. It seems that what they did to Zhongjing Media before must have been ruthless enough, yet Zhongjing Media managed to dodge it invisibly! That young man named Bai Xiaosheng... he really has something up his sleeve!

Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng, that name does sound very familiar!

”Alright, you and your son sit tight. I’m going to the restroom,” Mayor Ji stood up and left the office.

In the room, only the Yin Family Father and Son were left.

Yin Dongfeng, looking towards the door and lowering his voice, couldn’t help but excitedly say to Yin Haoran, ”Dad, you’re amazing! To still have such a move up your sleeve, this will surely make Bai Xiaosheng fall in line!”

Yin Haoran was full of smiles, clearly enjoying his son’s praise.

”Mayor Ji and I share a special bond! Besides, Zhongjing Haoran is also a major enterprise, the mayor won’t sit by idly!” Yin Haoran said in a low voice, ”That Bai fellow probably thought I would go begging to him! Now with the mayor stepping in, he’ll have no choice but to fall in line!”

”But what if he acts one way and feels another, deliberately stalling? What do we do then?” Yin Dongfeng suddenly thought of this possibility.

”I couldn’t wish for more!” Yin Haoran stared at the door, his face revealing a sinister smile, ”If Bai Xiaosheng dares to play this game, he’s signing his own death warrant! Defy Mayor Ji in secret while feigning compliance? Hmph...”

”Exactly!” Yin Dongfeng also laughed.

...

Some noise came from outside, and the Yin Family father and son quickly took their seats.

It turned out to be the secretary bringing in tea.

Both of them received it, politely expressing their gratitude.

After a little while, Ji Mingyang returned.

Close on his heels, Zhang Meng also came back.

”Mayor, Zhongjing Media General Manager Bai Xiaosheng will arrive shortly, in about five minutes,” Zhang Meng said.

Ji Mingyang nodded, smiling as he spoke, ”I just so happen to have some matters to discuss with him.”

Yin Dongfeng didn’t find that statement odd, but Yin Haoran felt something strange.

It was as if, even if they hadn’t come, Ji Mingyang would have summoned Bai Xiaosheng...

...

After chatting idly with Ji Mingyang and Yin Haoran father and son, a secretary knocked at the door.

”Zhongjing Media General Manager Bai Xiaosheng has arrived,” the secretary announced upon entering.

”Please show him in,” Ji Mingyang said, a glint of anticipation flashing through his eyes.

Yin Haoran caught a glimpse of it unintentionally, and that strange feeling resurfaced.

How could it be that Mayor Ji’s trip to the restroom seemed so odd!

A hint of a smile lingered on the corner of Ji Mingyang’s mouth, with a faint sense of anticipation hiding in his eyes.

While he was in the restroom, he had checked the contacts on his phone, and a name suddenly jogged his memory—who Bai Xiaosheng was!

Led by the secretary, Bai Xiaosheng stepped into the mayor’s office.

He was also surprised to receive Zhang Meng’s call.

The mayor wanted to see him, today? Could it be that the clamor on the internet had alarmed this top official of Zhongjing?

Upon entering the office and seeing the Yin Family father and son seated on the sofa, Bai Xiaosheng immediately understood.

So it was the Yin Family who had sought out the mayor, no wonder Yin Haoran had been able to keep calm and not contact him!

This now became a bit tricky! Bai Xiaosheng felt a sense of wariness.

Seeing the change in Bai Xiaosheng’s expression, Yin Dongfeng sat there, utterly triumphant inside.

Bai Xiaosheng, you didn’t expect this, did you? Our Yin Family still has such power at our disposal! So arrogant, so proud, you think you’re capable, dare you challenge the mayor!

Yin Dongfeng was in a good mood.

”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Bai,” Mayor Ji rose to greet him, wearing a smile.

”Good day, Mayor Ji,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, neither servile nor overbearing, striding forward with confidence and extending his hand.

His demeanor was very appropriate, positioning himself as a junior rather than a subordinate.

This grace, compared to Yin Dongfeng, was vastly superior; even Yin Haoran was no match!

Mayor Ji looked at him approvingly and shook his hand.

Then he said two words that were severely incongruent with his status!

These words astonished Bai Xiaosheng and shocked the Yin Family father and son.

”Great renown!”

Mayor Ji said with a smile.
