Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 716: Chapter 716 Group Assessment?_1

The next morning, Bai Xiaosheng arrived at Zhongjing University on time.

It was only after he entered the tiered classroom that he realized he must be among the last batch to arrive. At most, there were only one or two people who came after him.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng walked in, more than twenty pairs of eyes looked his way.

Today was the last examination of the first stage and perhaps, the training class would be disbanded!

Who the second stage examiner would be, what method would be used, and how many rounds of assessment there would be, were all unknown.

Everyone was worried about the present but anxious about the future.

At this moment, when everyone saw Bai Xiaosheng, their gazes held a hint of difference.

Bai Xiaosheng, now a genuine celebrity in the training class!

If his success in the first assessment could be attributed to luck, and the second to craftiness, then the third time, everyone had no choice but to admit that Bai Xiaosheng relied on actual ability!

Moreover, at the Chen Family, Bai Xiaosheng’s defeat of Chen Changluo and the knowledge and learning he displayed, won him admiration!

It could be said that he was the biggest stumbling block for everyone aspiring to the position of ”Provincial Industry Director”!

Meeting those gazes head-on, Bai Xiaosheng paused, feeling a sense of strangeness within.

He had become the ”public enemy”!

”A tree that stands out in the forest is easily brought down by the wind.”

Muttering to himself the words Officer Feng Li relayed, Bai Xiaosheng felt a chilling determination!

Suddenly, he was very glad that he’d been forewarned and had made a decision.

If he truly became everyone’s stumbling block, those out to get him would not just include Mu Beichen and Zheng Qinghong!

But everyone!

”Bai, why are you so late?” Zhao Qianze greeted him with a smile as she saw him.

Out of everyone in the room, probably only Zhao Qianze didn’t regard him as an enemy.

Bai Xiaosheng could see this from the eye contact honed by his system.

”Late? I think it’s fine, isn’t it usually this time?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

”It’s not the same as other days. Today is the final assessment and moreover...” Zhao Qianze glanced back at the others and when she turned her head again, her expression contained a weight of complexity, ”five more people from among these will be gone!”

In the classroom, there were only twenty-five people left, five had already been eliminated.

Feng Li had also said that her task was to reduce the number by ten!

The thought that today, one-fifth, twenty percent of the people, would be eliminated, also weighed heavily on her.

The cruelty of competition became more daunting as it reached further stages.

”Zhao, with your gentle and virtuous nature, you stand out among them. I’m sure you’ll make it to the end,” Bai Xiaosheng consoled her.

”I hope your words bring luck,” Zhao Qianze said with a smile.

She had already told Bai Xiaosheng that her goal in coming here was to strive for the top five, so she could try for her future at the Affairs Office.

The two chatted as they walked towards their seats.

Zheng Qinghong watched them with a furrowed brow, his gaze shadowed with gloom.

A little further away, Mu Beichen took in his expression and Bai Xiaosheng’s retreating figure with full attention.

”If this Bai is still the first this time, with the accumulation of the entire first stage, he will have a major lead over me! Then, I will have to resort to some drastic measures!”

A hint of ruthlessness flickered in the depths of Mu Beichen’s eyes.

”However, I can join forces with Zheng Qinghong. That way, even if something goes wrong, there will be someone to share the blame!” Mu Beichen decided.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Everyone in the training class had arrived.

But Feng Li was still nowhere to be seen.

The crowd waited anxiously, and it was practically the final minute when Feng Li pushed the door open, holding a roster in her hand.

Feng Li strode up to the lectern, glanced around at everyone, and looked deeply at Bai Xiaosheng before saying with a smile, ”You must be eager, it’s been a while. It seems everyone is in good spirits, very well, today we’re going to hold the last assessment of the first stage!”

Everyone tensed, watching her closely.

They had no idea how this assessment was going to be conducted!

Last time, at least they had brought test papers, but this time, there was nothing?

Feng Li wasted no time, opened the roll call, and said, ”Next, you will be divided into groups and proceed to the assessment. Five people per group. I will read out your names; remember the group you belong to.”

Feng Li paused, glanced at everyone, and then began reading directly, ”First group, Fang Tianchen, Wang Gang... Second group, Mu Beichen, Xu Ying... Third group, Zheng Qinghong, Song Yunmu...”

Feng Li read out the names one by one.

The whole classroom was dead silent, everyone listening quietly.

Bai Xiaosheng was in the fourth group.

He also realized that the top five performers had been assigned to five different groups.

After reading the names, Feng Li clapped the roll call shut with a ”snap” and declared loudly, ”Now, go upstairs. There are five classrooms there, with numbers posted on the doors. Enter according to your group number.”

”The assessment begins!”

With these words, Feng Li did not bother to explain further and left.

The members of the training class looked at each other uncertainly.

”An assessment in groups of five? What are we being tested on, teamwork?”

”Then how will individual scores be determined!”

”Could it be that the elimination is by group? They’re eliminating five people this round, and each group has exactly five people!”

”That’s, that’s not fair!”

...

There was an uproar among the crowd.

Bai Xiaosheng frowned slightly.

”Bai, what do you think!”

In their anxiety, Zhao Qianze also seemed somewhat concerned.

”I think it certainly won’t be as simple or as crude as that, let’s go over and see,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

”That’s the only thing we can do now!”

With a sigh and a wry smile, Zhao Qianze said, ”I heard that Officer Feng Li is fairly by the book, not a person with wildly leaping thoughts, but look at these assessments, which one is simple! I worry about what other sorts of challenges the examiners will come up with later!”

Bai Xiaosheng said nothing, stood up, and walked toward the door, ”Worrying now is redundant and meaningless. Let’s go.”

All twenty-five people filed out of the lecture hall and went straight up the stairs. It was just one floor, after all.

At the top of the stairs, there were small classrooms on both sides, each with a red paper posted on the door with numbers written in brushstroke.

Everyone remembered the numbers called by Feng Li and promptly gathered at the door of the classroom they were supposed to enter.

Bai Xiaosheng stood in front of the door with two people on each side.

These people all looked to Bai Xiaosheng expectantly.

After all, this was the man who had scored first in three consecutive rounds, and his performance during the third assessment with the Chen Family was even more commendable. If he were a teammate, he would certainly be very trustworthy!

Unconsciously, everyone regarded Bai Xiaosheng with respect.

In fact, it wasn’t just them.

The other groups also naturally deferred to the top five ranked individuals in their own groups.

They subconsciously formed a sense of competition and confrontation between groups.

”Could it be this simple? If so, Feng Li wouldn’t have had someone deliver that message to me!”

Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath, steadying his emotions, and knocked on the door.

”Come in!”

The voice from inside startled both Bai Xiaosheng and the people around him.
