Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008: The Eve of the ”Decisive Battle

”Bai Xiaosheng isn’t here yet,” ”Bai Xiaosheng will have to line up at the very end,” ”Bai Xiaosheng is definitely going to be the last one!”

Officer Lin Yu had been standing there amidst this excitement for forty or fifty minutes, until his legs were sore.

Then, at the very last minute, he was dumbstruck.

That bastard Bai Xiaosheng had actually gone to meet the Great Official Zheng Honghu and came with him!

No playing by the rules, no following the usual protocol.

No matter how carefully you plan, he always foils your schemes!

Lin Yu was infuriated beyond words, filled with regret.

Why didn’t I think of that!

Zheng Honghu was returning to Linshen this morning, so go meet him at the station, hand over the materials on the way, and you’re the first one there!

Lin Yu wanted to slap himself.

He’d only called Great Official Zheng Honghu to ask his arrival time at the company, believing that among those present, many officers had made similar calls.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for everyone to arrive so uniformly and queue up.

Relying solely on the word of mouth of the people from the past couldn’t achieve such an effect.

But they were all wrong!

Bai Xiaosheng had inquired about Great Official Zheng Honghu’s arrival in Linshen.

”So cunning!”

Lin Yu watched Bai Xiaosheng walking towards him, his chest tight with shortness of breath.

Zheng Honghu was chatting and laughing with Bai Xiaosheng as they walked towards the office.

Following behind them were Zheng Honghu’s other assistant and Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying.

Behind them were six others!

Li Qiushan, Fan Sihui, Wu Tong, and the rest!

In fact, Lin Yu had only guessed half right.

Bai Xiaosheng had indeed inquired about the arrival time of Zheng Honghu in Linshen, but Zheng Honghu hadn’t asked Bai Xiaosheng to meet him at the station. Instead, upon arriving near headquarters, he personally called Bai Xiaosheng to meet up before coming over.

For this, Zheng Honghu had even waited for a while at the original location.

Clearly, Zheng Honghu favored Bai Xiaosheng over others.

Of course, these were not matters for outsiders to discuss.

Nor would Lin Yu and the others think that Zheng Honghu, acting as a referee, would ever be ”unfair.”

”It seems everyone is very enthusiastic, which is good,” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but give a wry smile as he saw the long line forming.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged smiling glances.

Previously, they thought Bai Xiaosheng was too eager to meet Great Official Zheng Honghu, even a bit too much.

But now it seemed, if you wanted to get a head start, you had to be like this!

Over there, lining up first, was Officer Lin Yu.

But so what!

Even if you arrive earlier and line up closer to the front, you’re still not as good as them!

”All right, stop with the sentiment, your tone, it feels like there’s not much difference between you and the Senior Affairs Officer,” Zheng Honghu said in a low voice.

Then, Zheng Honghu straightened up and composed his smile.

Joking with Bai Xiaosheng like this, under everyone’s watchful eyes, seemed somewhat inappropriate.

It might make people question his impartiality...

As Zheng Honghu approached, all the other officers warmly greeted him.

”Great Official Zheng Honghu!”

”Great Official Zheng Honghu, good morning!”

Zheng Honghu smiled and nodded to everyone, replying, ”Morning, good morning, everyone!”

After Lin Yu greeted Zheng Honghu, he looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a cyptic smile, ”Affairs Officer Bai, you actually went to welcome the Great Official. Quite thoughtful of you!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s face was full of smiles, ”Officer Lin, waiting at the door this early and being the first in line, you’ve surely not spared any effort. You’ve waited quite a while, haven’t you?”

Lin Yu’s expression turned ugly.

With a chuckle, Bai Xiaosheng said, ”Otherwise...”

Lin Yu’s eyebrows raised, thinking Bai Xiaosheng was going to say, ”Otherwise, would you like to go first?”

Yes, that’s what he did last time.

As a result, Bai Xiaosheng gained the upper hand!

This time, if Bai Xiaosheng were to say that, Lin Yu wouldn’t pretend to decline; he would definitely agree!

Lin Yu eagerly anticipated Bai Xiaosheng to continue.

”Otherwise, why don’t you wait a little longer? I’ll be quick over there,” Bai Xiaosheng said with utmost sincerity.

Lin Yu, ”...”

As Bai Xiaosheng was speaking, Officer Lin Yu couldn’t help but look over at Li Qiushan and his group.

Although he had not met them face-to-face, Officer Lin Yu had seen their photographs.

Those people all had somber expressions on their faces, seemingly somewhat heavy-hearted.

”Is it because the original evidence was swindled away?” Officer Lin Yu thought to himself.

While Officer Lin Yu was watching Li Qiushan and the others, Bai Xiaosheng was observing him, the smile gradually fading from his face.

”Officer Lin Yu, do you know, yesterday someone impersonated me and tricked these people out of the original evidence!” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice carried a hint of chill.

”Really! How careless!” Officer Lin Yu expressed in astonishment.

Bai Xiaosheng stared into his eyes, and Officer Lin Yu calmly returned his gaze.

”No matter who took that evidence, they must be planning to use it today!” Bai Xiaosheng slowly said, ”However, I hope for a fair competition, I do not wish for it to be used!”

”Officer Lin Yu, what is your opinion?” After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng earnestly inquired.

”I sympathize,” Officer Lin Yu stated flatly.

Once he submitted the physical evidence, Bai Xiaosheng would inevitably realize, it was his, Lin Yu’s, people who had played tricks.

By then, it was likely the two sides would tear off their masks!

But from the struggle for the position of Candidate Great Affairs Office on, isn’t it a matter of victory crowning the victor and defeat marking the loser?

Confrontations are fleeting!

Officer Lin Yu thought to himself.

For soon I will be the Candidate Great Affairs Officer, and given time, the official Senior Affairs Officer, while you, will be my subordinate!

Officer Lin Yu gazed at Bai Xiaosheng.

Once I become the Senior Affairs Officer.

I will prove that I am the one fit for this position!

I will display the grace expected of a Senior Affairs Officer and discard past grievances!

I will give you the chance to strive for this position, even if it’s a small compensation for my actions today!

Bai Xiaosheng peered into Officer Lin Yu’s eyes and suddenly smiled, ”Thank you for your sympathy.”

The exchange between the two men was brief and covert.

Great Official Zheng Honghu exchanged greetings with everyone, then promptly entered his office. Before entering, he amiably said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Affairs Officer Bai, you are the first to report to me today. Come in with me.”

”And bring your people as well!”

With that, Great Official Zheng Honghu went into his office.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Officer Lin Yu and the others, then took Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, signaling to Li Qiushan and his group to follow into Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office.

Soon after, Yu Chang, Zheng Honghu’s assistant, emerged from the office, smiled at the crowd at the door, and squeezed through the throng.

About ten minutes later, Yu Chang returned.

Behind him were Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing.

Both persons wore rather unpleasant expressions on their faces.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s commotion at the Zhang Family, they knew things were going downhill.

Summoned by the headquarters this time, their hearts were filled with immense anxiety.

The three of them hurried into Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office.

This scene also sparked countless speculations, but very few were truly privy to the details, most were just wild conjecture.

After all, it concerned a provincial industry leader and an Affairs Officer, and the department was aiming for a low-profile approach, especially before undeniable evidence was revealed, maintaining as much confidentiality as possible.

Of course, some people were aware of the truth, but even so, they would not disclose it, preferring instead to spin tales and speak nonsense.

”Are the two sides going to confront each other?” Officer Lin Yu’s heart tightened, but he also thought to himself, ”Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing, both of these people are wily, and they will surely demand to see the physical evidence. They won’t simply accept their fate without it!”

”And the physical evidence is with me!”

Officer Lin Yu’s confidence reignited.

Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard someone shout—

”Sir Shen has arrived!”

The queueing crowd immediately began to buzz with agitation.

Officer Lin Yu looked over in surprise, indeed Sir Shen Peishen was approaching with a warm smile, accompanied by his assistant.

Why has the teacher come?

Officer Lin Yu was astonished.

Previously, hadn’t the teacher said he would recuse himself?

”Elder Xia is here too!”

The crowd’s boiling point suddenly exploded.

Officer Lin Yu turned around in shock.

From the other side, Xiahou Qi, had also arrived!
