Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: I’m Looking for You, There’s a Matter!

The entire Affairs Department was seething with excitement!

From one office to another, cries of astonishment rose and receded in waves.

”What!” ”How is this possible!” ”Incredible!” ”Oh my God!”

Accompanying the exclamations were the sounds of desk slapping, teacups shattering on the floor, and an assortment of other strange noises.

It was electrifying, utterly electrifying!

The notice of Bai Xiaosheng’s candidacy for the position of Senior Affairs Officer had only been issued for less than a second, and before most people had even made it out, it was covered by the announcement of his formal appointment as a Senior Affairs Officer.

Was this a promotion in one second—

In a heartbeat?!

”This is... a record-breaking event!” a young Affairs Officer said, his voice quivering.

His eyes were sparkling with an odd brilliance, seemingly in fervent admiration!

Bai Xiaosheng!

These three words were as if imbued with magic.

In just half an hour, they swept through every corner of the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region Headquarters!

The Affairs Officers were almost running to spread the news.

In the offices, down the corridors, in every nook and cranny, there was heated discussion about the event, about Bai Xiaosheng!

Within a single day, from candidate in the morning to official by afternoon!

Who else could claim such a feat!

One year and three months, from Affairs Officer straight to Senior Affairs Officer, who else could do that!

Even since the founding of the Affairs Department, this was an unprecedented event!

When Shen Peishen received this news, he was continuing the morning’s conversation with Lin Yu.

After Lin Yu had been cheered up by his teacher, his whole spirit had revived, and his confidence returned.

In the afternoon, Lin Yu came running back to discuss his ambitions for the next five years with his teacher.

”This time, he got the Candidate Great Affairs Officer, but in the next five-year selection, I will stop at nothing to snatch it back! I will prove that I am the first to become a Great Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Yu repeated his morning’s assertion, his eyes overflowing with a fighting spirit.

Shen Peishen saw a glimmer of ambition flashing in his student’s eyes.

He was very pleased.

Perhaps it was just a budding seed, but once rooted, given time, Lin Yu would transform into what he hoped for.

Shen Peishen naturally encouraged and praised him, nurturing with great care.

Then they heard the news.

Bai Xiaosheng had become a Senior Affairs Officer.

An official, bona fide Senior Affairs Officer.

Senior Affairs Officer!

Shen Peishen was momentarily stunned.

Lin Yu suddenly rose to his feet, his eyes bulging wider than they ever had before, as if they might pop out, frightening the assistant who had come to relay the news.

”Bai Xiaosheng, he’s become a formal Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Yu said with a somewhat fierce expression.

Disbelief, confusion, anger, resentment.

A mix of emotions made him look incredibly fearsome.

”Fang Beijun got promoted at such a time!” Shen Peishen’s expression turned frosty, followed by a long, narrow sigh.

Time and fate.

It’s all destiny!

His own beloved student had just made a bold declaration of intent when the news broke from the other camp—a birth (promotion)!

Lin Yu slumped back onto the sofa in complete desolation...

Shen Peishen, observing this, waved the assistant away, feeling quite helpless inside.

He pondered how to encourage Lin Yu once again, sensing a long and arduous journey ahead...

At this moment, in Bai Xiaosheng’s office.

”Xiaosheng, you were amazing this time, a Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise and adoration, at a loss for what more to say.

Even Lei Ying, usually so composed, couldn’t stop smiling.

Bai Xiaosheng had just returned when they received the news, and naturally, they were thrilled and excited.

In contrast, Bai Xiaosheng was much more composed.

This composure impressed Lei Ying so much that she gave him a mental thumbs-up.

Of course, she didn’t know that Bai Xiaosheng had found out earlier and almost jumped for joy.

”I’ll treat you all to a meal later to celebrate,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Then he slapped his forehead, ”Shoot, I rushed back from the duty room and forgot to tell Zheng Honghu... Never mind, I’ll look for him later.”

”Now, I need to hurry and meet Elder Xia!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

There were still things to be done!

”Do you need us to come with you?” Lin Weiwei asked.

”No need,” Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand, ”Get ready, we’re going to make a trip back to our hometown soon!”

Back to Zhongjing?

Lin Weiwei was taken aback, then her eyes lit up.

They really hadn’t been back for a year, even during the New Year, they were caught up in an emergency and had to rush over!

”Okay!” Lin Weiwei replied crisply.

Bai Xiaosheng was about to head to Xiahou Qi’s office.

As the door opened, there were quite a few people standing outside—Affairs Officers!

And the one leading the group looked as if they were just about to knock.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng!”

As Bai Xiaosheng came out, the eyes of those at the door brightened, and they greeted him with smiles and respect.

Most of the people present were ”neighbors,” and some were from farther away.

They had come to familiarize themselves with his face.

Times had changed; Bai Xiaosheng was now their superior, a figure second only to one in the Zhenbei Group Greater China Region!

It was always good to build a relationship while he was still in this office, before he moved to another.

”Hello, everyone,” Bai Xiaosheng greeted them with utmost friendliness and a smile on his face. After exchanging pleasantries, he said, ”I have to go see President Xia now, so I can’t stay with you all. Sorry!”

”You’re busy, you’re busy, we just came to congratulate you!”

”Yes, your official duties are important!”

Everyone had a smile on their face and wore an expression of respect.

The title of Senior Affairs Officer really did carry weight. If he hadn’t been in a rush to discuss matters with Xiahou Qi, Bai Xiaosheng would have loved to have a nice chat...

And enjoy the feeling of being complimented.

Of course, in everyone’s eyes, Bai Xiaosheng was young and capable, suddenly becoming the Senior Affairs Officer without arrogance or impatience, with a friendly attitude and humble posture, which left the Affairs Officers feeling somewhat flattered and greatly increased their fondness for him.

Bai Xiaosheng left the crowd and headed straight for Xiahou Qi’s office.

The journey there was quite lively.

It continued the morning’s theme of ”pedestrians stopped in their tracks, doors opened automatically,” with the addition of many beautiful young women sending him admiring glances, and he could faintly hear the sound of the beauties swallowing hard.

It was as if Bai Xiaosheng was Tang Sanzang, whom everyone wished they could snatch away.

Young and talented, handsome, and now a Senior Affairs Officer, he was truly a diamond bachelor.

Bai Xiaosheng continued on his way with a smile, greeting people warmly, until he finally reached Xiahou Qi’s office. Just as he was about to knock, Wang Mubei happened to come out.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng! I was just about to look for you!” Wang Mubei said cheerfully upon seeing him.

The way he addressed Bai Xiaosheng had subtly changed, now with an added ”you.”

”Is it Elder Xia looking for me?”

”That’s right!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, watching as Wang Mubei knocked and opened the door for him.

Passing by Wang Mubei, Bai Xiaosheng deliberately slowed down, whispered with a smile, ”Brother Wang, in private, using ’you’ is fine. ’You’ is too formal.”

After saying that, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and passed by.

Wang Mubei’s smile widened as he watched Bai Xiaosheng.

Entering the office, Bai Xiaosheng saw Xiahou Qi lift his head and smile at him, ”Oh, Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng has arrived.”

”Are you here for a performance review, or is there something you need?”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Elder Xia, you are truly prescient. I am here to see you about a matter!”
