Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 629: Chapter 629: If Your Surname is Bai, Don’t Fall Into My Hands!_1

”Look at what you’re saying, with such an important matter, how could I dare to ask you to let things slide!”

Wang Xincheng hastily waved his hands and with a smile explained to Feng Li, ”This Bai Xiaosheng, I really only met him once by chance, so we can hardly say we have a relationship. It’s just because of his exceptional ability that Officer Li appreciates him so much, and has mentioned him a few times. I thought to myself, he is a talent. So I just casually said something. If there’s anything inappropriate, then please, just pretend I never said it.”

Underneath his smile, Wang Xincheng felt annoyed.

Just now, he had really been momentarily possessed by folly to have suggested that Feng Li should take special care of Bai Xiaosheng.

In fact, one couldn’t entirely blame Wang Xincheng for an impromptu statement made carelessly.

There was a reason behind it.

Wang Xincheng’s promotion to Affairs Officer had benefited greatly from the strong support of Senior Affairs Officer Li.

He had always wanted to repay the favor and please his former leader.

This would be absolutely beneficial for his future without any downside.

However, repaying Officer Li directly would be too conspicuous, with countless pairs of eyes watching, both openly and secretly.

That’s why Wang Xincheng thought of Bai Xiaosheng.

In his view, Bai Xiaosheng had some kind of intricate relationship with Officer Li. What kind of relationship it was, he didn’t care.

In any case, Bai Xiaosheng was a channel for him to reciprocate!

Since he couldn’t repay Officer Li directly, he would take extra care of Bai Xiaosheng.

In this way, the leader would certainly feel his painstaking efforts and sincerity!

A few days earlier, it was with this thought that Wang Xincheng had met with Bai Xiaosheng, had a heartfelt conversation. He even went so far as to share many insider details with Bai Xiaosheng. Of course, within this, there was also the intent of betting on Bai Xiaosheng, planting a ”good cause” in the hope of reaping a ”good result.”

These were just the reasons that Wang Xincheng had intended to verbalize.

And the reason he dared to speak was another story—

Feng Li, that woman, was too deceptive. She always seemed to be on good terms with Officer Li, laughing and chatting amiably.

Logically, as a newly appointed Affairs Officer, she would at most nod in passing, but she was able to stop and make conversation for a bit, even on equal footing. In Wang Xincheng’s eyes, wasn’t this out of respect for Officer Li’s face?

This made Wang Xincheng misinterpret the situation, thinking of her as ”one of us”!

Wang Xincheng felt she would consider Officer Li’s face, and even if she listened, she wouldn’t go so far as to turn against him.

How much she really cared did not actually matter—after all, it was a gesture meant for the leader to see.

With this mindset, Wang Xincheng dared to make the request.

But what he had absolutely not expected was for Feng Li to suddenly change her demeanor, her beautiful eyes turning sharp, like two blades, instilling immediate fear in him.

This woman was definitely not as friendly as she seemed!

Frightened, Wang Xincheng immediately exonerated himself and brought up Officer Li for self-protection.

”So that’s how it is. It looks like I misunderstood,” Feng Li said with another sweet smile, the cutting edge from before completely gone, even making Wang Xincheng feel like he had been hallucinating.

However, this feeling now was the real illusion.

”You’re in a rush to meet the president, so I won’t keep you any longer, I also need to get back to work,” Wang Xincheng hurriedly said with a smile to Feng Li, ”You’re going to Zhongjing one day in advance, alright, I’ve got it noted. I’ll send your ticket over later. See you around!”

”Goodbye,” Feng Li smiled.

Wang Xincheng left in a hurry, his expression turning somewhat ugly as soon as his back was to Feng Li.

”Bai Xiaosheng, I truly had the best intentions. If this causes you trouble, then I’m sorry,” Wang Xincheng muttered to himself.

Feng Li watched Wang Xincheng’s retreating figure, her light smile hiding an ambiguous meaning in her gaze.

Then, she proceeded toward Xiahou Qi’s office.

She knocked and entered.

As soon as Xiahou Qi looked up and saw her, his face lit up with a smile, ”Little Li is here.”

”Yes, as the instructor of this training camp, I’ve come to report to you,” Feng Li said with a sweet smile.

In Xiahou Qi’s eyes, Feng Li was among the earlier batch to become an Affairs Officer, and she was someone he acknowledged.

She was gifted and kind, seemingly versatile, but in fact, she was the most upright one, unshakable by anyone.

For this reason, Xiahou Qi trusted her and assigned her as the training instructor.

”You’re opening the session this time, but don’t feel too much pressure,” Xiahou Qi said with a laugh.

”Yes,” Feng Li responded with a smile and a nod, walked over, and then said, ”I also have to thank you.”

”Thank me?” Xiahou Qi was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

”Have you forgotten? I did my doctorate in Economics and Management at Zhongjing University, and my supervisor is now the Dean of the Economics and Management Department there. This time, besides working, I even got to revisit my old haunts and see my teacher, all thanks to you,” Feng Li said cheerfully.

”Oh? Is that so?” Xiahou Qi laughed heartily, ”That’s great, that’s great, you should indeed meet with your teacher, he is a learned and talented figure!”

Xiahou Qi knew who Feng Li was referring to.

After the laughter, Feng Li couldn’t help but ask Xiahou Qi out of curiosity, ”This time, why did you decide to hold the training camp in Zhongjing? I thought you were going to hold it in Linshen.”

This was something that Feng Li could not comprehend.

”That...,” Xiahou Qi chuckled, ”Girl, would it be too much if I said it was a spur-of-the-moment decision?”

Feng Li rolled her eyes inwardly at this remark.

My CEO, we’ve seen you do even more outrageous things...

The elder and the younger chatted for a while longer.

Feng Li could consider her report completed.

”Alright, you can go now, I still have a pile of work to deal with,” Xiahou Qi said with a smile, picking up a document and making notations with his pen.

”Okay,” Feng Li nodded, and then she added another question, ”Is there anything else you want to remind me of? This time, is there anyone who caught your eye who needs special attention?”

Xiahou Qi’s pen paused on the paper, then he replied with a smile, ”No.”

”Then I’m leaving,” Feng Li said.

Xiahou Qi nodded slightly, and Feng Li exited, closing the door behind her.

Hearing the door close, Xiahou Qi lifted his gaze to the door, his expression playful and lips curling into a smile.

”Bai Xiaosheng, I’m not giving you any advantages, so no problem there, right!”

”You’ve impressed me more than once, kid; this time, I’m waiting to hear your news!”

After laughing, Xiahou Qi lowered his head and continued making annotations.

Outside the door, Feng Li left.

”This time, the boss didn’t ask to look out for anyone, which means I don’t need to give face to any of these candidates!” Feng Li’s smile was one of contentment, filled with a delightful sense of being able to do as she pleased.

She then recalled the matter Wang Xincheng had mentioned before.

”So, Mr. Wang wants me to take care of someone named Bai Xiaosheng? And he used Officer Li to pressure me.”

Feng Li felt a twinge of annoyance inside, and she let out a cold snort.

”Cronyism doesn’t work with me. Humph, I really want to see what kind of person this Bai Xiaosheng, that he wants me to take care of, really is?”

Walking in her high heels, Feng Li left with rhythmic and elegant footsteps.

”I hope that guy named Bai behaves himself; don’t let him fall into my hands. Humph, or else I’ll show him!”
