Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022: Mr. Ji’s Visit

Facing Gao Siyu’s mockery, Gao Dazhi’s expression turned dismal, his eyes revealing exhaustion and defeat.

There seemed to be truly no hope left for Bai Xiaosheng.

Gao Dazhi’s report to the group had been discovered by Gao Siyu, who showed complete indifference.

This gave Gao Dazhi a deep sense of powerlessness.

Speaking of which, the person who informed Gao Siyu about the incident hadn’t told him that Bai Xiaosheng had already become a Senior Affairs Officer.

Because it was public and sensational news, the insiders at the Department of Affairs thought Gao Siyu must have already known.

Of course, even those insiders didn’t know—

Bai Xiaosheng had come in person!

At this moment, standing before Gao Siyu, Gao Dazhi clung to the last thread of hope.

This hope wasn’t placed on the delegates from the group, but on another entity—the City Government!

The commotion Gao Siyu caused in Zhongjing didn’t just affect Zhongjing Media but targeted all of Zhenbei Group’s businesses in the city.

It’s just that Zhongjing Media was the hardest hit.

A large number of middle and lower-level managers were being reassigned or laid off, and the entire company was set to be split in two and relocated.

These matters were currently underway.

And the businesses of Zhenbei Group in Zhongjing were also claiming—they would all be moved out!

If it were any other provincial industry leader, it would be hard to believe, even unimaginable.

But Gao Siyu could do it, and he had the power and ability to do so!

Not to mention the audacity!

Gao Dazhi believed that by threatening to move businesses out, Gao Siyu was covertly blackmailing the Zhongjing City Government.

He pressed for more favorable treatment, more policies.

Under normal circumstances, this would be suicidal; the city government would never compromise.

However, as the city’s development entered a critical phase, a move by these large enterprises could trigger a terrifying domino effect.

This was what truly frightened the city government!

This was exactly what Gao Siyu was banking on.

Such an act could only be done by a madman!

But would he care about the hardships that local businesses would face after a fallout with a local government?

He wouldn’t!

Gao Dazhi couldn’t help but feel that Gao Siyu—

Was purely focused on boosting performance at this stage!

The life or death of the subsidiaries meant nothing to him!

Madman!

This was the term Gao Dazhi coined for Gao Siyu, his own kin.

But after all, the city government was the city government. Would it succumb to such veiled threats?

Gao Dazhi was somewhat incredulous!

Especially Mayor Ji Mingyang, would he tolerate such threats?

Today, representatives from all three sides were gathered for the meeting.

Whether there would be a turnaround because of the city government, this was Gao Dazhi’s only hope.

”If Zhongjing Media really falls apart, or even moves away, then what’s the point of me sitting in this deputy director position,” Gao Dazhi pondered the worst-case scenario in his heart, ”That will be the time for my resignation!”

Gao Siyu, tired of watching Gao Dazhi’s subservient demeanor, casually gestured outside, ”The matter of your unauthorized report to the group, we’ll settle that later! Now, go outside and wait for the visitors, don’t be an eyesore in front of me!”

Gao Siyu drove Gao Dazhi like one would a dog, his words and tone dismissive and patronizing.

The big conference room was filled with trusted aides brought by Gao Siyu.

They too wore mocking, cold smiles as they looked at Gao Dazhi, as if staring at a dog that had lost its home.

Gao Dazhi left silently, without protest, his whole demeanor somewhat resigned.

This was a place he no longer wished to linger in!

Gao Siyu watched Gao Dazhi leave with cold eyes, a sneer curled at the corner of his mouth as the doors to the large conference room closed. He then turned his gaze towards another direction, deep and distant.

Gao Siyu tapped his fingers on the desktop, mumbling to himself words that only he could hear.

”Bai Xiaosheng, this lucky bastard, what makes him so impressive! Does he even deserve it?”

”The New-type Affairs Officer who acts with impunity should be mine, mine! Only I am suitable for that position, not some green boy!”

Gao Siyu’s eyes reddened slightly, a hint of jealousy present.

This was also one of the reasons why he had been stirring up trouble with Zhongjing Media and in Zhongjing.

Moreover, there were other, more important reasons.

”The moves you made in Zhongjing have all been praised by our teacher, so I will make sure they completely crumble!”

”I will reshape the landscape here in Zhongjing, I will prove that I am the one with exceptional ability!”

”I want to score achievements here and then spread them to other cities. I want the Affairs Department to be shaken by my performance within a year.”

”With these achievements as my support, the teacher will have a reason to speak for me, and he will be able to get me back into the Affairs Department, back to the position of Affairs Officer!”

”When that time comes, I will ask the teacher for help to also become a New-type Affairs Officer!”

A smile appeared on Gao Siyu’s lips, with the corners twitching slightly.

This man, often called crazy, always did crazy things.

At this moment.

An Audi A6L was driving toward Zhongjing Media.

The driver was Zhang Meng, and the passenger was Mayor Ji Mingyang.

Mayor Ji Mingyang’s face was visibly haggard, he continued to read documents in the car, and when tired, he would massage his temples to stay alert.

”Mr. Ji, you really don’t need to take care of this matter personally!” Zhang Meng couldn’t help but say.

The mayor had been working too hard these days, it was heartbreaking.

”As long as it can be resolved properly, my personal appearance is nothing,” Mayor Ji Mingyang said with a forced smile as he put his hand down.

”This new provincial industry head that Zhenbei Group has sent over is going too far!” Zhang Meng couldn’t help but express indignantly, ”At such a critical time, he actually plans to relocate those key enterprises and has even split Zhongjing Media. It’s a heavy blow to our city.”

The timing of this development was too critical!

And it was clear that the other party was doing this intentionally!

So hateful!

If it weren’t for this time period, then whatever that damn Gao Siyu did, even if he moved all the subsidiaries of the Zhenbei Group away, so what!

As if the Zhongjing City Government couldn’t attract big companies!

Thinking of all this, Zhang Meng was both angry and resentful, yet helpless.

”What can we do, we can’t interfere with the enterprise’s decision to stay or leave,” Mayor Ji Mingyang sighed slightly, ”For Zhongjing, if I, the Mayor, can persuade them by making a few personal visits, it’s worth it.”

As he spoke, Mayor Ji Mingyang searched out his reading glasses and put them on to continue reviewing the documents.

Right now, as Zhongjing was at a crucial point in its development, he did not want to waste a single minute.

Zhang Meng looked in the rearview mirror and saw the mayor’s cheeks becoming thinner and his hair graying more within just one year.

Zhang Meng felt a wave of sorrow and greater sadness within.

”If only Bai Xiaosheng were still here!” Zhang Meng suddenly said, ”He always has a way!”

When Bai Xiaosheng was mentioned, Mayor Ji Mingyang looked up, his eyes twinkling behind his reading glasses.

”Yes, that kid always had a way,” Mayor Ji Mingyang smiled.

This smile had become rare and precious these past days.

”I heard he got promoted. Do you think we should seek him out?” Zhang Meng couldn’t help but suggest.

Mayor Ji Mingyang shook his head.

”Even if Xiaosheng has been promoted, he’s at best on the same level as Gao Siyu. Gao Siyu is reckless, and he always acts so confident, as if he was sure of himself. He must be no simple character,” said Mayor Ji Mingyang, ”I’m afraid I would only cause trouble for Bai Xiaosheng and it wouldn’t solve anything. Why bother!”

Zhang Meng couldn’t help but say, ”Mr. Ji, you have never thought about things this way before.”

Mayor Ji Mingyang smiled faintly and bent down again to his documents, ”There’s always an exception to everything.”

After this conversation, Zhang Meng didn’t know what else to say and simply concentrated on driving.

The Audi drove past a coffee shop where Bai Xiaosheng happened to look up from his window seat and noticed the car, his gaze immediately curious.

”Isn’t that Mayor Ji Mingyang’s car? Is he also heading to Zhongjing Media?”
