Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: Results Revealed

Officer Lin Yu stepped out of Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office.

The bustling crowd outside instantly fell silent.

He hadn’t been in there for even five minutes, and Officer Lin Yu just...

Was it over?

Officer Bai Xiaosheng spent twenty minutes inside by comparison, which made this seem too quick.

People exchanged glances, even Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen over there looked surprised.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled to himself, ”Officer Lin Yu, quite fast, huh?”

He had just greeted Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen when Lin came out, indeed very quick.

After emerging, Lin Yu faced the curious gazes from all sides with calm and a slight smile.

His face was brimming with confidence.

Many people felt relaxed by Lin Yu’s demeanor, as if a weight was lifted off their chests.

That’s right!

Who said that spending more time inside assured victory?

And who claimed that coming out quickly meant certain defeat?

”Officer Lin Yu came out quickly because he doesn’t want to waste everyone’s time, and it shows he has thoroughly completed his tasks.”

”Yes, spending more time inside means the current tasks at hand aren’t dealt with cleanly.”

”Actually, the quicker one comes out, the higher the score might be!”

”I even doubted Officer Lin Yu just now, really...”

”Joking aside, Officer Lin Yu has been the standard-bearer among the officers for several years!”

The quiet crowd once again buzzed with chatter.

Frankly speaking, Bai Xiaosheng is indeed an anomaly among the officers.

This year, he has been stirring up waves frequently. So much so that he’s often compared to Lin Yu.

But causing a sensation often doesn’t equate to consistently outstanding achievements!

While Lin Yu produced continuous tremors, Bai Xiaosheng was still an unknown below.

Officer Lin Yu has been leading the group of officers for years.

Could Bai Xiaosheng, with just one year’s performance, really crush the standard-bearer?

Preposterous!

More than seventy percent of the people didn’t believe it!

They were more optimistic about Lin Yu.

Even Xiahou Qi felt that Lin Yu had better chances this time.

Lin Yu walked past the crowd and noticed Bai Xiaosheng approaching him.

One of them a long-standing ”benchmark” among officers.

The other, a ”prodigy” who rose within a year.

These two, under the watchful eyes of the public, stood two meters apart, smiling face to face.

”Officer Lin Yu truly shines,” Bai Xiaosheng started with a smile. ”In the hearts of people, you have a brilliant image!”

”Too kind,” Lin Yu responded evenly.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed slightly, ”For me, it’s different. Sometimes I feel I’m a bit... bad.”

Lin Yu remained silent.

Had Bai Xiaosheng placed himself here amidst the people just to speak such meaningless nonsense?

While Lin Yu pondered the meaning behind Bai Xiaosheng’s actions, Bai Xiaosheng smiled, turned around, and left.

Lin Yu looked at Bai Xiaosheng, preparing to return to his mentor’s side.

Just then, the door to Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office opened.

Zheng Honghu, holding a list, walked out.

The whispering crowd, seeing this scene, quieted down a bit.

Zheng Honghu stood at the door, looked at the officers in line, glanced at the list, and then said, ”Officers! I will now read a few names. Those I call may leave the line and report their work progress to me. Those not called need not wait any longer.”

With these words, the officers in line were all momentarily stunned.

”But why, Great Official Zheng Honghu?”

”Yeah, we’ve been here since early morning. If only a few report, then the rest of us have waited in vain?”

”There has to be a reason.”

Some of the queued officers couldn’t help but speak up.

”This weekend, I had my assistant quantify the achievements you all reported, evaluated the tasks you registered, and ranked them by score. In the end, there are six of you qualified to vie for the position of Candidate Great Affairs Officer, including Officer Bai Xiaosheng and Officer Lin Yu.”

”The others are too far behind!”

Zheng Honghu swept his gaze across the room, ”Any objections?”

”Or perhaps you feel that your results were scored too low?”

”No problem, step forward, and I’ll check it with you face to face!”

”Mr. Xia and Sir Shen are also here, and you can report to them as well.”

With these words from Zheng Honghu, no one raised an objection.

In fact, when Xiahou Qi initially said that Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu’s achievements were on par, it was also a conclusion after quantifying the values.

Although Lin Yu’s performance had been outstanding for many years, he had never captured a person at the level of regional manager.

Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng, who had investigated the responsibilities of a provincial industry manager along with an Affairs Officer, had more findings than Lin Yu.

Only then were they considered equivalent.

”Tang Shuangyu—”

”Pei Dongke—”

”Han Hao—”

”Sun Dayu—”

Zheng Honghu read the four names in one breath.

Four people stepped out from the line.

Their eyes were bright, their faces tinged with excitement.

After all, having the qualifications to compete for the position of Candidate Great Affairs Officer was an honor in itself!

Standing on the same starting line as eminent figures like Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu was enough to give them bragging rights.

Of course, they were only ”qualified” to compete.

With Lin Yu as a hurdle, it was doubtful any of them could overcome it.

The Affairs Officers quit lining up and joined the crowd of onlookers, all of whom watched them with envy.

Perhaps in the future, one among these four might emerge as a Candidate Great Affairs Officer.

”You, come in one by one and report the actual progress of your work.”

After saying this, Zheng Honghu turned and went into the office.

The four walked over, knocked on the door, and entered in turn.

Each person only spent a short two or three minutes inside before exiting, shaking their heads in resignation.

Having the qualifications to compete was sometimes just a comforting phrase, an encouragement for the Affairs Officers not to be discouraged, not to be afraid to contend with the strong.

In truth, before they even entered, none believed they could surpass Lin Yu or Bai Xiaosheng.

In the end, the real contest would still be between Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu.

Everyone’s gaze fell on these two.

”I’m betting on Officer Lin Yu!”

”I think it’s Officer Lin Yu too!”

”But Officer Bai Xiaosheng could also be a possibility!”

”Still, Officer Lin Yu has the highest chance of winning!”

The crowd didn’t even bother to hide their lively discussion.

Lin Yu smiled as he listened.

Bai Xiaosheng appeared calm, showing no emotions.

”The support for Lin is really high, maybe he will be the next Senior Affairs Officer!” Even Xiahou Qi said with a smile to Shen Peishen.

”Mr. Xia is exaggerating, it’s just a candidacy, there’s still a distance to the position of Senior Affairs Officer!” Shen Peishen replied to Xiahou Qi with a chuckle.

While everyone was bustling with discussion, the door to Zheng Honghu’s office opened.

Zheng Honghu came out with a sheet of paper.

His expression was solemn.

Had the final result come out?

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

All eyes were fixed on Zheng Honghu.

”Based on the final quantified comparison, I announce the highest achiever, who is also the next Candidate Great Affairs Officer—”

”He is—”

Zheng Honghu’s voice paused, and everyone grew anxious.

”Bai Xiaosheng!”

Zheng Honghu revealed the answer, and the room fell into silence.

Lin Yu’s eyes widened.

Bai Xiaosheng?!

Why?!

Why isn’t it him?!
