Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 979: Chapter 979: Start the Investigation

”Hexi Province’s Industry Head—Lu Zhixin? Is he also connected to Li Qiushan and his associates?!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were both surprised.

Zhang Tianze had said that the Zhang Family business was targeted by Hexi Province’s Industry Head, Lu Zhixin, who mobilized companies to gang up on them simply because they had accidentally clashed with a newly established subsidiary of Zhenbei Group.

At the time, Bai Xiaosheng and his colleagues saw this as normal, entirely within the jurisdiction of the provincial industry head.

”It was also Lu Zhixin’s doing!” Bai Xiaosheng said.

The businesses of Li Qiushan and others were taken down by Lu Zhixin...

”That’s a bit exaggerated, isn’t it?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but mutter.

Putting it all together, it was like the Hexi Province Industry Head used group resources to aggressively pursue the conflicting companies, and then an Affairs Officer took advantage, bringing in a bunch of external companies to annihilate those businesses and divide up the markets and assets of the failed companies...

This all sounded too bizarre!

Lei Ying also widened her eyes in disbelief, finding it hard to believe.

”Do you find it unbelievable?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, ”This sounds just like something out of a novel!”

”But in life, there are many unbelievable things! Some are even more magical than novels!” Bai Xiaosheng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

He paused, giving them both time to digest the information.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances, furrowing their brows in thought and sharing their views.

”Is this a coincidence?”

”Once or twice might be a coincidence, but this many times, it can’t just be coincidence!”

”Does Lu Zhixin, the Hexi Province Industry Head, know that Zhao Beiqing is picking up opportunities behind his back?”

”You might as well ask if the two of them have been communicating secretly!”

”That’s hard to say. Even if they haven’t communicated, Zhao Beiqing just needs to keep an eye on Lu Zhixin’s movements; he doesn’t need to cooperate directly with him to share the spoils!”

”But from Lu Zhixin’s side, facing the rival companies, he always crushes them mercilessly. Is it his nature, or could it be because of Zhao Beiqing? You can’t be sure!”

”Hmm, if this was indeed an act of collusion between the two, it would make sense!”

”If it’s really true, it’s quite impressive! One playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, they took down so many companies!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying spoke up, each adding their thoughts.

”But if it really comes to a legal investigation, what ’charges’ can we press? After all, Zhao Beiqing and Lu Zhixin haven’t harmed the group. On the contrary, Lu Zhixin targets companies that compete with our subsidiary, which seems proper. Zhao Beiqing’s actions, even if dubious, were outside of work hours and didn’t involve abuse of power.”

Toward the end, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help asking Bai Xiaosheng.

”No, Weiwei, you’re wrong!”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke earnestly, ”If they really colluded and did those things, it would definitely have greatly harmed our group’s interests!”

”To crush our opponents, yet deliberately investing massive resources to fight them to the death...”

”It’s about using the group as a tool, wasting the group’s funds and manpower, and also damaging the group’s reputation!”

”If it’s really the case, then it’s nothing less than an indirect infringement of the group’s interests, and pilfering of wealth!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes hardened, ”I can’t let them off the hook!”

This matter, Bai Xiaosheng would handle it.

Whether it was for the benefit of the group or out of sympathy for Li Qiushan and others.

”The information we have gathered is enough! Next, you both need to help me run around and investigate some things that are hard to verify online!” Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze sparkled, ”With that, we’ll have enough time!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying looked at each other and nodded firmly.

This was not the first time they had acted under Bai Xiaosheng’s arrangements.

Sometimes, they didn’t understand the relevance of the content Bai Xiaosheng asked them to investigate, but it always proved useful eventually—and some of it even greatly useful.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had learned much along the way and even found joy in it—

Thinking about what Bai Xiaosheng asked them to investigate, guessing when and how he would use that information.

This made the two people enjoy themselves immensely.

However, Bai Xiaosheng was deep in thought.

There was still one thing Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t mentioned to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust them, but that this matter, besides himself, needed and could let no one else know—

This Friday would be the last day of the task issued by Red Lotus to Bai Xiaosheng!

After Friday, the score that had been locked would be reset!

Bai Xiaosheng was full of fighting spirit, partly for this reason.

”Zhao Beiqing, Lu Zhixin, two high-ranking executives, I wonder if you would become the points I need to strike at the position of Senior Affairs Officer!”

Bai Xiaosheng felt a surge of passion in his heart.

”Find a place to settle down, let’s get moving now!” Lin Weiwei said with full enthusiasm.

Involving a provincial industrial leader was one thing, but now they also had an Affairs Officer, so they temporarily could not return to the headquarters.

After settling the bill, Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions left the restaurant to find accommodation and start their investigation.

Meanwhile, inside a townhouse in Linshen Third Ring.

In the living room, Shen Peishen sat opposite Lin Yu.

They had arrived in Linshen today and had just had dinner.

They were chatting at the moment.

”Lin Yu, you’ve made considerable progress this year. I heard that even Mr. Xiahou Qi praised you highly.” Shen Peishen said.

”Teacher, you flatter me.” Lin Yu smiled.

”This year, you’ve not only advanced in your profession but also in cultivating your mindset. Now, I want to test your temperament. There’s no problem with that, right?” Shen Peishen picked up his tea and took a slight sip.

Lin Yu was startled.

Indeed, he had retrained himself this year, especially in terms of his mindset.

But...

How would this growth in temperament be tested?

”Please give me a test, teacher. I’ll try!” Lin Yu said, full of curiosity.

Shen Peishen smiled.

The Affairs Assistant behind him stepped forward two steps and handed over a piece of paper.

Shen Peishen glanced at it and then handed it to Lin Yu, ”Take a look at this.”

Curious, Lin Yu took it and immediately his gaze sharpened.

It was a comparison between him and Bai Xiaosheng!

The achievements of both over this year.

Lin Yu silently read through it, silently set it down, his face showing no emotion.

However, eventually, Lin Yu still gave a bitter smile, ”Teacher, it seems my temperament is still not firm. Just now, seeing the end, I still felt a bit resentful, feeling...”

”Unconvinced?” Shen Peishen laughed, ”Lin Yu, oh Lin Yu, I am here to temper your mindset, not to cultivate a saint. If you were unaffected by things and not sad for yourself, what use would you be?”

Lin Yu was taken aback.

”What I want you to learn is to keep honor and disgrace in your heart and not show it outwardly!”

”What I want is for you to be able to quickly adjust your mindset when you lose your composure!”

”This is what I wanted to see!”

Shen Peishen smiled, ”The first test, I consider you to have passed! Now, for my second test! If you pass this, then this year would really not have been wasted for you!”

Lin Yu’s expression became serious, ”Please set the question, teacher!”
