Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 586: Chapter 586 Zhongjing Wins!_1

Tianqing forfeited their qualification? Zhongjing got the spot!

The two ministers’ words silenced the entire room.

Everyone looked stunned and shocked, exchanging glances, even including the leaders on the review committee.

Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng were particularly dumbfounded and disbelief.

In contrast, Bai Xiaosheng appeared calmer.

After the quiet, the room erupted, and everyone began talking all at once.

”What happened? Why did Tianqing City forfeit their qualification!”

”Incredible, they were almost guaranteed to get the spot!”

”That company in Tianqing indeed had some issues before, but they were brave enough to reveal them themselves and handled everything properly, the province decided not to pursue further, so how could this...”

”I just ran into Dai Mingcheng, the mayor of Tianqing, and I had no idea he was actually here to apply for the forfeiture!”

...

Amid the babble, people mentioned some things that Ji Mingyang didn’t know.

The company had a problem? Something actually happened on Dai’s side?

Ji Mingyang was equally surprised. He might be the least gossiping among all the mayors.

This was the first he heard of it!

Applying for forfeiture is indeed a right of the prefecture-level cities, and the chair and vice-chair of the review committee have the authority to approve it.

Once approved, it takes immediate effect!

This means that with Tianqing City’s exit, the remaining ten prefecture-level city enterprises, as long as they complete the final review, can advance!

This naturally includes Zhongjing Media!

Ji Mingyang felt a burst of unreality; he hadn’t harbored any illusions at first.

Yet the spot came to him so unexpectedly!

It arrived so suddenly!

Ji Mingyang felt a fire in his chest that suddenly ignited, burning fiercely. After many years without such excitement, it now burst forth!

He couldn’t help wanting to cheer!

Zhang Meng felt the same way, thrilled and excited, her face flushed.

Heaven bless Zhongjing!

Minister Wang extended his hand, lightly tapping the table with his index finger for quiet, then said with a smile, ”I believe everyone is surprised; I am just as surprised. It was only right before the meeting that Minister Fan told me this piece of news! And he approved the request just before the meeting began!”

”Do I need to repeat it here? Zhongjing Media, advanced!” Minister Wang repeated, smiling, emphasizing each word.

Across from him, Minister Fan was smiling, looking at Bai Xiaosheng and Ji Mingyang, and started clapping his hands.

Minister Wang followed with applause.

Then everyone, looking pleased, joined in the applause.

Zhongjing Media fully deserved this spot!

All the leaders expressed their congratulations with their applause, expressing their admiration for Bai Xiaosheng’s report!

Ji Mingyang’s eyes were moist.

He clapped vigorously, sending Bai Xiaosheng a look of congratulations!

With Minister Wang’s statement, the matter was beyond doubt.

Upon hearing that, a ”ding” resonated in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

The voice of Red Lotus sounded, ”Congratulations, Master, task completed with full marks, reward: twenty points!”

”Your current total score is seventy points at the General Manager level, with thirty points remaining to upgrade to the Provincial Industry Head!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, this was the news that made him the most happy!

...

With that, the fourth stage of the Zhongjing Media report came to an official close.

Tianqing City gave up the application qualification, Zhongjing’s review was successful, and Zhongjing Media obtained the spot for the provincial benchmark enterprise!

As the meeting dispersed, this astonishing news spread quickly.

Through those who had an interest, it swiftly reached every prefecture-level city!

That very day, in Langbei City, City Hall.

Mayor Su Shu was taking a break from her duties, sipping a cup of mellow Pu-erh tea.

Her female secretary hurried into the office, came up to her, leaned in, and whispered the news into her ear.

Mayor Su Shu was stunned at first, looking at her secretary in disbelief.

”Are you sure?”

”Positive!” the secretary nodded confidently.

Mayor Su Shu waved her hand, and the secretary withdrew. She frowned slightly but then smiled genuinely, a smile from the heart.

”Ji Mingyang, you’re really something!”

At Tianzheng Media, in the General Manager’s office.

Not long after Mayor Su Shu received the message, she called Mu Beichen.

Upon receiving the call, the usually radiant Mu Beichen suddenly had his smile freeze on his face.

He was shocked and disbelieving.

”Alright, Mayor Su Shu, I understand,” Mu Beichen eventually replied, very gentlemanly.

After the call ended, Mu Beichen gently set down the phone, stood up, and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

He looked down at the city beneath him and gazed in the direction of Zhongjing.

After being silent for a long time, Mu Beichen suddenly erupted, kicking over a decorative porcelain vase that was as tall as a man.

The vase fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, the loud noise startling Liu Yue outside the door.

By the time Liu Yue came in, Mu Beichen had regained his expressionless composure and sat back down at his desk.

Liu Yue looked at the porcelain fragments scattered on the floor in astonishment.

”It turns out that even a salted fish can turn over!” Mu Beichen said to Liu Yue with a smile, a smile that sent a chill through Liu Yue, who didn’t dare to respond, only listening quietly to Mu Beichen talking to himself.

What Mu Beichen said made Liu Yue astonished.

”Zhongjing Media, Bai Xiaosheng! They, too, have secured a provincial-level benchmark enterprise spot!” Mu Beichen’s voice was low as he chuckled, ”All of this is because Tianqing City renounced their right! That jinx Bai Xiaosheng, his luck is surprisingly good!”

Bai Xiaosheng, you only win by luck! Mu Beichen thought bitterly.

Many people thought the same.

Even Ji Mingyang had a slight such thought.

Several days after the event concluded, Ji Mingyang received a call from Dai Mingcheng, and the two talked for a long time.

It was then that Ji Mingyang realized that before Bai Xiaosheng reported to the provincial government, he had made a call to Dai Mingcheng.

As for the content, it astonished Ji Mingyang...

Ji Mingyang also learned that during Bai Xiaosheng’s visit to Tianqing, he had made certain suggestions to Dai Mingcheng and had conceived a cooperation plan between the two cities.

Although Tianqing was weak, it had its strengths.

Although Zhongjing was strong, it had its needs.

Between cities, besides strong-strong alliances, there was also talk of industrial complementarity, which was mutually beneficial as well.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Mingyang immediately approved the cooperation plan.

Other prefecture-level cities were spreading a saying—Tianqing offers peaches, Zhongjing returns plums.

But the cooperation between these two cities was upright and open, not secretive or one-sided, but a collaborative development.

This even brought great commendation from the provincial government!

Furthermore, with Bai Xiaosheng’s help and leadership, Tianqing introduced a policy to attract the Tengyun Group, the European Kelson, and many other large enterprises...

Dai Mingcheng was beaming with joy.

Of course, all these are stories for another time.

Bai Xiaosheng and Zhongjing Media’s success enraged Mu Beichen enough to smash a large vase.

And in Zhongjing, someone was furious enough to smash a teacup.

This person was Chen Jiuzheng!

”This little bastard, his luck is really good!” Chen Jiuzheng gritted his teeth in anger, spitting out to the person sitting on the sofa, ”And with him staying in Zhongjing Media, a company directly under the group, we cannot touch him even if we want to, this is infuriating!”

On the sofa.

Chen Jiutian looked up with a cold laugh, giving his brother a glance with a sinister smile.

”Then let’s make him move!”
