Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: I Think Highly of You!

Bai Xiaosheng hated most in life being undermined or deceived. Whoever dared to do so would face an unimaginably dismal fate!

And this Gao Siyu had brazenly made a distress call to Shen Peishen without anyone noticing.

Moreover, he dared to look at Bai Xiaosheng with a provocative gaze.

At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression turned frosty cold.

”Teacher...” Gao Siyu, keeping an eye on Bai Xiaosheng, stepped away from the crowd, turned his back, and hastened through the details of what had happened.

Whether there were any omissions or distortions, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t know.

Nor did he care; he just coldly watched.

Within just two to three minutes, Gao Siyu returned. His expression was not as distressed as before, seemingly relieved as if he had been appeased.

”Has Gao Siyu succeeded in seeking help?”

”Seeing that he’s not so panicked, the person he sought must hold a position no less than Bai Xiaosheng!”

”If that’s the case, will Sheng step back?”

”This seems to be troublesome now...”

Mayor Ji Mingyang and others watched from the side.

Their thoughts varied.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, Sir Shen is on the line!”

Gao Siyu held out his phone to Bai Xiaosheng.

His face broke into a smile again, showing a superficial respect towards Bai Xiaosheng, with an underlying distaste that was off-putting.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at him and took his phone.

”Hello, Sir Shen? This is Bai Xiaosheng!” Bai Xiaosheng greeted, a smile appearing on his face.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, I didn’t realize you had returned to your hometown. I’ve been wondering why I hadn’t seen you at the headquarters these days,” Shen Peishen chuckled over the phone.

The movements of a Senior Affairs Officer were kept confidential.

Except for informing Xiahou Qi, Bai Xiaosheng had not mentioned his departures to anyone else.

Shen Peishen naturally didn’t know.

”Yes, Sir Shen, it’s my first time as a Senior Affairs Officer, a minor accomplishment, so I returned to visit my hometown,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a laugh.

He respectfully addressed Shen as ”Sir Shen” repeatedly.

Mayor Ji Mingyang and others listened intently, sensing that the person on the other end of the phone held even higher status than Bai Xiaosheng.

Meanwhile, Gao Siyu’s smile began to widen.

In his view, with his teacher stepping in, Bai Xiaosheng completely caved!

Although his teacher expressed anger over the phone and mentioned ”settling accounts later,” he ultimately stood up for him.

His teacher would never abandon him!

And Bai Xiaosheng, even as a newly appointed Senior Affairs Officer, what of it?

Wouldn’t he still show respect to his teacher?!

It was known that other Senior Affairs Officers revered his teacher as ”Mentor”!

He was also a contemporary of Mr. Xiahou Qi!

One of the oldest qualified in the Greater China Region!

Let alone Bai Xiaosheng, who had just assumed his position, what about Zheng Honghu or Li Haofeng!

Even the second-ranking Senior Affairs Officer, Fang Beijun, what of it!

Who wouldn’t show respect to their teacher!

Who would dare!

The more Gao Siyu thought about it, the more relieved he felt, with his earlier anxiety completely dispelled!

He even glanced at the others, unable to suppress a sneering smile.

He, Gao Siyu, would still preside over Anjiang, and although his arrangements had been temporarily halted to maintain respect for Bai Xiaosheng, they were still secretly underway!

Seeing the uneasy expressions on their faces, Gao Siyu felt pleased.

Bai Xiaosheng exchanged pleasantries with Shen Peishen over the phone, speaking very courteously.

Shen Peishen, on the other end, seemed quite pleased with Bai Xiaosheng’s attitude.

”Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, I just heard from Siyu that there seems to be a misunderstanding between the two of you,” Shen Peishen chuckled, ”In light of this old man, could you please not take it too seriously with him? Later on, I will certainly talk to him! If it upsets you, I’ll have him publicly apologize!”

Whether the term ”misunderstanding” came from Gao Siyu or if Shen Peishen was deliberately playing Tai Chi, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t tell.

However, it seemed Shen Peishen wanted to minimize the issue.

”Look at what you’re saying, what misunderstanding? It’s just a small discrepancy in our work; it’s nothing serious. Apologies aren’t needed!” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, speaking on the phone to Shen Peishen.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng looked towards Gao Siyu with a beaming smile, nodding his head amiably.

Gao Siyu quickly blossomed into a smile as well.

But deep in his eyes, there was no lack of mockery.

You, Bai Xiaosheng, were quite overbearing just moments ago!

Boisterously commanding!

”Directly abolish my orders and stop my job?”

”How about that!”

”You got a call from the teacher, and suddenly you became a coward!”

”I really thought Bai Xiaosheng from the legends didn’t know what respect was,” sneered Gao Siyu inwardly.

Mayor Ji Mingyang, Zhang Meng, and Gao Dazhi couldn’t help but exchange looks.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng ”giving in,” they all sighed in relief, yet understood the situation.

After all, sometimes within a corporation, one must bow to the stronger ones.

”I just hope Sheng can mediate a bit to ensure their company doesn’t go too extreme in Zhongjing. It benefits no one,” Mayor Ji Mingyang mused silently.

Bai Xiaosheng continued smiling and speaking to Shen Peishen on the phone, ”Yes, yes, these matters should be impersonal and focused on the issue at hand. How could I get angry? You must be joking.”

”Oh, you mean the suspension issue? Yes, since you have ordered, I naturally must comply; the suspension of Gao Siyu’s disciplinary action is revoked, revoked!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and gestured to Lin Weiwei to delete the records of the disciplinary results.

Lin Weiwei did so without any expression.

Bai Xiaosheng completely yielded.

Gao Siyu couldn’t help but feel triumphant from deep within.

Even against Bai Xiaosheng, the Senior Affairs Officer, he wasn’t afraid anymore!

He knew that this Senior Affairs Officer wouldn’t dare to harm him!

”Alright, take a rest then. I’ll visit you at the headquarters later when I return.”

Bai Xiaosheng hung up smiling and then returned the phone to Gao Siyu.

”Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, you see, I don’t need to be suspended anymore, do I?” Gao Siyu said with a beaming smile.

Arrogant and unbowed when he could mock, humble and pleading when he needed, he indeed knew how to adapt to circumstances.

”No need, of course not. Sir Shen has spoken,” Bair Xiaosheng said with a laugh, ”Not only that, but I will also keep you in mind for good things. Wouldn’t you agree, Mr. Gao?”

”No need to call me Mr. Gao, just Siyu will do,” Gao Siyu responded with a smile.

Pride and humility.

Such polar opposite reactions appearing in the same person gave a surreal impression.

Yet, it was very real.

Humans are inherently contradictory.

Unless one is truly insane, any sane person knows how to maneuver with the tides.

Moreover, the humility Gao Siyu showed now did not mean he would act the same way later.

Pretense and defiance are just another side of him.

Aside from Gao Siyu, everyone else looked at Bai Xiaosheng with complex expressions.

Just hoping that Zhongjing Media would not collapse...

Just hoping that those businesses wouldn’t leave yet...

Just hoping that their former colleagues could return...

Everyone dared not hope for too much.

They only hoped that Bai Xiaosheng could persuade Gao Siyu not to be too ruthless!

The crowd fell silent, their eyes on Bai Xiaosheng filled with anticipation.

Bai Xiaosheng signaled Lin Weiwei to record the results and turned to Gao Siyu with a friendly smile, ”Mr. Gao, there’s actually a great opportunity I want to give you right now.”

”Tell me!”

Though surprised, Gao Siyu still listened with a smile.

”Each Senior Affairs Officer has the quota to send regional industrial directors and affairs officers for further education.”

”Each Senior Affairs Officer, only one every year!”

”Now, this quota is yours!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile was warm, but his gaze was ice cold.

”Go on, go back to headquarters for further education!”

Gao Siyu’s smile froze on his face.

He knew about that rule!

Further education?

Three years of mandatory learning, writing a thesis; if not approved, you don’t graduate, handling no specific affairs during this period!

After three years, based on 120% of the average annual performance before, fill the three-year performance gap to compete for the next Candidate Great Affairs Officer.

This was not a suspension.

This was a disguised sidelining!

If it were truly a good thing, Shen Peishen would have given it to Lin Yu or him earlier!

Still using Bai Xiaosheng to give out the quota?!

”The next Candidate Great Affairs Officer, I wish you success in your election.”

”Oh, and Lin Yu is also running, I hope you can beat him!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile bloomed as he patted Gao Siyu on the shoulder.

”I’m counting on you!”
