Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 815: Chapter 815 - I Don’t Need Cooperation!

It was not strange to have a new visitor, but what was strange was Lin Weiwei’s expression and attitude.

It seemed that the visitor was no ordinary person!

Bai Xiaosheng’s thoughts quickly shifted.

Weiwei had just arrived and didn’t know anyone, so the reaction must be due to the visitor’s identity or position.

The Senior Affairs Officer, being his superior, would have simply called him over to chat if that was the need, and would never come in person.

If it were the assistant to the Senior Affairs Officer, Lin Weiwei would have said so openly; it’s impossible that she would report back in such a manner.

The visitor was very likely an Affairs Officer!

And among the Affairs Officers, Lin Ke, Feng Li, Wang Xincheng—Weiwei would have heard these names before and known they were acquaintances who she would mention outright.

Therefore, the visitor was not an acquaintance!

An Affairs Officer who wasn’t an acquaintance?

...

A slight smile involuntarily curled upon Bai Xiaosheng’s lips.

Lin Weiwei glanced at Zhao Qianze, and didn’t avoid her, just lowered her voice slightly and said, ”It’s an Affairs Officer!”

This confirmed Bai Xiaosheng’s guess.

”Let’s go, Zhao, I’ll see you out and on the way, greet this Affairs Officer!” Bai Xiaosheng said to Zhao Qianze with a smile.

Zhao Qianze also smiled and nodded her head.

The group left the inner room.

Bai Xiaosheng saw the person waiting outside; he was not very tall but was stocky, probably in his forties, with distinct facial features—monolid eyes, triangular eyes, high cheekbones, displaying characteristics often found in UH Country people.

Behind him followed a female assistant with a lithe figure.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng coming out, the man’s lips slightly raised in a smile and he stepped forward to greet him.

”Affairs Officer Bai!” The man smiled and extended his hand, ”I am Park Benxi, Affairs Officer of Han nationality.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and shook his hand.

This fellow’s command of Chinese was indeed very smooth!

”Officer Park, it’s a pleasure to meet you, please come in.” Bai Xiaosheng warmly ushered him inside.

Park Benxi smiled and nodded, following Bai Xiaosheng into the house, while Zhao Qianze was escorted out by Lin Weiwei.

”This way, please!” Bai Xiaosheng gestured Park Benxi towards the sofa area.

”Your office is very nice, quite impressive!” Park Benxi said, looking around and continuously offering praise as he walked.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled faintly, not taking the comments seriously.

Lin Weiwei was dissatisfied with the decor and had just submitted her suggestions for changes to logistics; the room hadn’t been altered much and was still in its initial state.

This Officer Park was obviously spouting nonsense with narrowed eyes.

After both were seated, Lin Weiwei came in to serve tea, then exited the room and shut the door from the outside.

Park Benxi specifically glanced at the door.

Due to the nature of their work, the decoration of the Affairs Officer’s office was very focused on privacy, with excellent soundproofing. Essentially, once the door was closed, even if one hid by the door to listen, nothing could be heard clearly.

Moreover, with ”one’s own people” handling outside, it was impossible for anyone to eavesdrop.

Bai Xiaosheng saw Park Benxi’s demeanor and smiled lightly, ”Officer Park, come, try the tea here.”

”Certainly.” Park Benxi took a sip of the tea and couldn’t help but praise, ”Excellent tea, excellent tea!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled silently, taking a sip himself.

This tea was just ordinary tea, hardly worthy of being called fine tea. Lin Weiwei’s replacement list even included an item for tea.

Park Benxi set down his teacup and initiated some small talk with Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng was in no hurry, leisurely chatting with him.

After more than ten minutes of idle talk, Park Benxi shifted the topic, finally getting to the main point.

”I heard,” Park Benxi started, ”that Officer Bai has been investigating Chen Jiuzheng from Anjiang Province and even submitted some evidence to headquarters?”

”Correct,” Bai Xiaosheng answered with a smile.

”I don’t mean to hide it from Officer Bai, but I’ve been investigating Chen Jiuzheng as well and have also gathered some substantial evidence!” Park Benxi said with a serious expression.

”Oh?” Bai Xiaosheng appeared genuinely surprised, ”Officer Park, you too... What a coincidence!”

”Indeed!” Park Benxi slapped his thigh, ”I’ve been on it for two years, even before you became an officer. You can check if you don’t believe me, I submitted a report on Chen Jiuzheng’s negligence early this year. Unfortunately, due to lack of evidence, the executive office didn’t approve the project to investigate at that time.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

However, he was inwardly sneering.

Negligence was such an ambiguous charge, ”not treating one’s duties with seriousness and responsibility”, it provided a lot of room for maneuvering.

Moreover, if the evidence provided by Park Benxi was dismissed even for project approval by the executive office, it indicated that it was essentially irrelevant.

”I’m saying all this, Officer Bai, to make sure you understand...” Park Benxi looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a smile.

”Not quite clear!” Bai Xiaosheng looked back at Park Benxi with a mocking smile and said, ”What do you mean, Officer Park? Are you telling me that this is your case, and I’ve overstepped my boundaries?”

”No, no, no!” Park Benxi quickly waved his hands, laughing, ”Your inquiry request is being studied by the executive office for approval, how could I ask you to withdraw it now. I mean... cooperation!”

”If we work on this together, I have plenty of evidence against Chen Jiuzheng as well. We can share and I will proactively request from the executive office that we split the achievements—thirty-seventy, thirty for me, seventy for you! What do you think?”

As he spoke, Park Benxi grinned, ”Officer Bai, we are both officers, we see each other often. Such a small request, you wouldn’t refuse it, right? In the future, when I have cases, I’ll involve you too. This would accelerate your promotions, why not do it?”

”Hmm! Not bad!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

”You agree?” Park Benxi looked ecstatic.

Seeing the emotions momentarily revealed by Park Benxi, Bai Xiaosheng decisively turned on the Micro Expression Analysis System.”

Until now, Park Benxi had been playing the role of someone greedy for achievements.

But in reality...

Bai Xiaosheng wanted to ”listen”!

When the Micro Expression Analysis System was escalated to its highest level, it possessed an intriguing ability.

Bai Xiaosheng jokingly called it ”mind reading,” which actually involved Red Lotus simulating inner monologues based on emotional expressions.

”Great, he agreed. I need to find out exactly how much he knows!”

”Finally, I can report back to that person!”

The voice of Park Benxi echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, of course, it was the synthesized voice by Red Lotus.

Hearing all this, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Park Benxi and smiled, ”Officer Park, this kind of cooperative win-win method, surely it’s highly advocated by the affairs department, right?”

Park Benxi was about to speak with a smile when he heard Bai Xiaosheng continue.

”However, the parties in cooperation must be of equal standing. An officer and a senior officer, they are not supposed to cooperate.” Bai Xiaosheng’s smile faded, and he spoke coldly and arrogantly, ”Regrettably, some of my authorities are equivalent to those of a senior officer. You are much inferior to me! Moreover, I’ve gathered enough evidence on my own, so I don’t need external help. Why would I cooperate and share with you?”

Bai Xiaosheng stood up, walked to the door, and opened it, gesturing for Park Benxi to leave but still smiling.

”So, please!”
