Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 916: Chapter 916: It’s also Bai Xiaosheng!

Bai Xiaosheng was ushered by Chu Xingyun and Ji Mingyang into the Yunhai City Government Office’s mayor’s office, where they engaged in an intimate conversation with the two mayors.

Others, including Zhang Meng, were asked to sit in an adjoining room and have tea.

Secretary Song He, who worked for Chu Xingyun, shuffled between the two rooms, frequently coming and going to ask about their needs, and also chatted with Zhang Meng for a while.

”Old Zhang, you didn’t see it, they’re having a lively discussion over there. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Mayor Chu talk so happily, he laughed heartily several times.” Song He expressed his feelings admiringly, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng is so young yet he made both mayors nod again and again in agreement, truly unmatched!”

Song He was genuinely astonished.

Zhang Meng smiled, ”You think that’s impressive? What if I told you about the incredible things this top player did back in Anjiang Province, wouldn’t you be stunned?”

”Let’s hear it.” Song He was curious.

Zhang Meng then recounted how Bai Xiaosheng, during his time in Zhongjing at the Anjiang Provincial Office, seized a provincial benchmark enterprise quota with a compelling report.

Song He, a city mayor’s secretary, listened with wide-eyed amazement.

Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and other involved parties also listened with rapt interest. Although they were aware of the full story, hearing it from another person’s perspective and in someone else’s words gave it a fresh flavor.

Especially the relentless praise from Zhang Meng and Song He’s frequent exclamations of amazement made their listening experience very satisfying.

”So it seems that he really is an extraordinary young man!” Through Song He’s gaze, an involuntary admiration shone through.

”Old Song, shouldn’t you be going back to check on them? You’ve been here listening for an hour or so.” Zhang Meng reminded him.

”Ah! Has it been that long already!” Song He quickly stood up and hurried out.

”That guy really hasn’t seen much of the world, to be so enthralled by the story, tsk!” Zhang Meng chuckled, taking a sip of tea before saying to Lin Weiwei and others.

He wasn’t bad-mouthing behind someone’s back, but because of the two mayors, he had a pretty good relationship with Song He. The comment was made in jest, and he would dare say it even if Song He were present.

Lin Weiwei and others didn’t make any comment and simply smiled.

Yet in Lin Ke’s eyes, a hint of astonishment was unavoidable, as there were things she too hadn’t known.

”I had no idea Bai Xiaosheng was capable of so much!” Lin Ke thought to herself.

As she reflected, she heard Zhang Meng ask, ”Where has Bai Xiaosheng been lately, and what has he been busy with?”

Lin Weiwei, who was quite familiar with him, simply smiled and said, ”We have both been transferred to the Group’s headquarters in the Greater China Region, mainly involved in oversight of subsidiary companies.”

”Oh? No longer dealing with hands-on management?” Zhang Meng sounded somewhat regretful.

After all, in his view, Bai Xiaosheng was skilled in the management of specific enterprises.

Of course, based on what Lin Weiwei implied, it looked like Bai Xiaosheng had been promoted—a positive development indeed.

”However, I still feel that if he were to manage a large company, he could achieve more,” Zhang Meng took a sip of tea and sighed, ”Starting a new position from scratch, it might be difficult to replicate the accomplishments he had in Zhongjing and Anjiang, I have faith in him, but it’s something that requires time...”

Lin Weiwei just smiled.

”It’s not quite like that. I think Bai Xiaosheng can exert even greater influence at the headquarters, uncle!” Lin Ke said.

”Really? What happened?” Zhang Meng asked with a smile, glancing at Lin Ke. He wouldn’t seriously argue with a young girl—it was just a casual question.

”Within a few days of taking office, Bai Xiaosheng unearthed a big parasite in the Greater China Region of the Group—Chen Jiuzheng,” Lin Ke said.

Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment. As he brought the teacup to his lips, he lost concentration and took a large sip of hot tea, immediately spitting it back out.

However, he completely ignored his burnt tongue and urgently said, ”Chen Jiuzheng was taken into custody by the judiciary, was it Bai Xiaosheng who discovered this?”

Chen Jiuzheng’s sudden downfall, captured by Zhenbei Group and handed over to the judiciary, had indeed set off a huge uproar in Zhongjing, with major media outlets reporting on it continuously for half a month.

”What’s wrong, Secretary Zhang, did that matter have a big impact on Zhongjing?” Lin Weiwei quickly asked.

”How could it not be huge? Chen Jiuzheng, known as Chen Banbi, wielded an impact on Anjiang like a storm!” Zhang Meng said absentmindedly.

”You can’t blame Xiaosheng for that. If it weren’t for his crimes, he wouldn’t have gotten into trouble,” Lin Weiwei hastily said.

She was worried that Chen Jiuzheng’s downfall and the economic impact it might cause would lead Zhang Meng and the others to blame Bai Xiaosheng.

Her words brought Zhang Meng back to reality, and he quickly said with a smile, ”Miss Lin, you misunderstood. When I said the impact was significant, I meant it in a good way!”

”A good thing?” Lin Weiwei was momentarily perplexed, somewhat confused.

”With Chen Jiuzheng gone, your group sent a new provincial industrial leader who sees Zhongjing’s development as a historical opportunity. He is fully cooperating with us, and Zhongjing’s economy has reached new heights! Moreover, he is also promoting, within Anjiang Province, the set of development strategies initiated by Bai Xiaosheng, the ’business card-style’ unique development path! It can be said that Anjiang Province has benefited from this change. If Chen Jiuzheng were still around, it would never have been possible!” Zhang Meng said spiritedly.

Lin Weiwei took a deep breath of relief.

She had been scared, thinking that by taking down Chen Jiuzheng, they had negatively affected Zhongjing’s development.

Learning that their actions had inadvertently contributed to the development of Zhongjing and Anjiang, Lin Weiwei was also very pleased.

After all, Zhongjing was her and Bai Xiaosheng’s hometown, and who wouldn’t want their home to develop even better?

”I never imagined that Chen Jiuzheng, who has been entrenched for more than a decade within your group, and held such a firm foundation, would be toppled by Xiaosheng!” Zhang Meng exclaimed in admiration, suddenly saying, ”But what’s more impressive to me is the higher level of your group. I heard that Chen Jiuzheng’s brother was also taken down. He was the industrial head for multiple provinces within your group, presumably much more formidable than Chen Jiuzheng, right?”

”Your group really has the guts, even digging out Chen Jiutian too! You should know, that’s the real big news. Even the mainstream media and internal publications mentioned it several times over several days. That’s truly a significant event!”

Zhang Meng continued to express his astonishment, ”It seems that the person who achieved this must be quite renowned within your Greater China Region Headquarters, holding a special status, right?”

”With such achievements and accomplishments, if Xiaosheng continues to work hard, given time, he might achieve such grand feats!”

Zhang Meng finished speaking and noticed that Lin Weiwei, Lin Ke, and Lei Ying were looking at him strangely.

”What’s the matter, how are you all looking at me like that?” Zhang Meng asked curiously.

”The high-ranking individual you mentioned being removed, was that Chen Jiutian?” Lin Weiwei asked.

”Yes, Chen Jiuzheng’s brother, another bigwig in your group, right? Don’t you know that? Why ask me?” Zhang Meng grew even more curious.

”If it’s him...” Lin Weiwei shrugged, ”Xiaosheng took care of that too.”

”What did you say!” Zhang Meng took another sip of tea but almost choked himself to death, his eyes bulging like light bulbs.

It was Bai Xiaosheng too!
