Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1511: Chapter 1308: Our New President Is a Devil!

The dinner organized by Cheng Dongyu started twenty minutes later than originally planned, but fortunately, it still got underway.

Everyone sat around the table, the people were all present, and even one extra person was there.

At this banquet, the main host was Cheng Dongyu, and the main guest was naturally Bai Xiaosheng.

It was precisely due to this main guest who appeared out of thin air—the new president Bai Xiaosheng—that the atmosphere at the entire banquet felt strange, with a subtle sense of awkwardness.

After all, the original agenda of this banquet was to discuss how to deal with Bai Xiaosheng.

And now, here he was.

Moreover, he had come with the invited ”guest.”

So, that agenda became void.

What should be said next?

Sun Wuchen organized the serving of drinks and dishes, throughout the entire process, he dared not look at Cheng Dongyu, afraid of the awkwardness, nor did he dare look at Bai Xiaosheng, truly afraid.

He had long heard how young this new president was and how formidable his tactics were, but Sun Wuchen had once been dismissive.

How formidable could a young man be?

He must have just had a stroke of luck, or he has a strong background, with someone backing him!

This time, Sun Wuchen saw it with his own eyes.

Here they were, having just privately set up a meeting, and not only did he already know, but he also gathered all the guests in one place!

It’s hard to say, but it seems everyone might have already taken a stand with the other side, just thinking about these tactics made Sun Wuchen feel a chill down his spine.

Is this young man a monster!

Indeed, Shen Peishen fell by his hand, so he is indeed a monster!

This kind of monster in a high position of power, someone of my status should have the good sense to steer clear!

Having served the drinks and dishes, Sun Wuchen knew he had no business staying, so he directly exited the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him, completely leaving Cheng Dongyu, whom he served, to fend for himself.

Cheng Dongyu watched helplessly as his only confidant left, and at the moment the door closed, his heart turned dark.

However, as the host, he really couldn’t remain silent.

”Well, we all came to the headquarters half a month ago and haven’t gathered in a while, so I decided to host and invite everyone over for a drink and reminiscence. Also, the conference at the headquarters today was a complete success, which makes us happy.”

Cheng Dongyu forced a smile, playing the host and saying some polite words.

Then he continued, ”I am very, very happy that Mr. Bai could come to attend! Now, let’s invite Mr. Bai to say a few words!”

The well-intentioned words were in tatters as Cheng Dongyu said them.

When inviting Bai Xiaosheng to speak, Cheng Dongyu was truly unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

Unfortunately, the rule has been passed down at the drinking table for thousands of years.

Bai Xiaosheng was in a high position of power, he was the leader, and next, it was his turn to speak.

Cheng Dongyu grudgingly accepted it.

Furthermore, at this point, Cheng Dongyu really had nothing to say, his heart full of panic, unclear about the situation in front of him.

Did these people present really all ”betray” him?

Was he really left alone?

Cheng Dongyu feared it was so, and feared even more that it wasn’t, fearing that everyone was just ensnared by Bai Xiaosheng and now Bai Xiaosheng was also setting a trap for him.

Cheng Dongyu felt he couldn’t lose his composure.

So he decided to let Bai Xiaosheng start the conversation and then assess the situation.

Moreover, as he spoke, Cheng Dongyu’s gaze slid over everyone’s face.

He wanted to discern something.

Even if the others were forced to switch sides and become traitors, there should be some guilt, some hint.

To Cheng Dongyu’s great disappointment, the people present, who could previously be called allies, now all looked at Bai Xiaosheng with respectfully smiling faces, sincerely waiting to listen to the leader’s speech.

Cheng Dongyu smiled placidly on the surface but cursed inwardly, ”You shameless traitors, have you really betrayed me? And with such a clear conscience, without even looking at me! Does your conscience not ache!”

Despite cursing in his heart, his expression remained unchanged, and he certainly wouldn’t openly fall out with Bai Xiaosheng at that moment.

With his temperament, he would never oppose Bai Xiaosheng until the last moment, until the absolute breaking point, he was no longer at an age of hot-bloodedness or recklessness.

Doing so would provide no benefit, other than venting and releasing the last breath of anger.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and glanced at everyone present, his gaze also swept over Cheng Dongyu, and he gently said, ”It’s rare to see our Mr. Cheng so concerned about fellow colleagues and the development of the headquarters. Indeed, today’s meeting yielded quite an achievement, it’s worth celebrating, particularly seeing everyone have gains today, it must have made them happy, it’s worth having a drink.”

Bai Xiaosheng got the conversation started.

Zhang Chengxi and the others immediately brimmed with smiles and raised their glasses.

”We must thank Mr. Bai, your grand strategic vision, your magnanimity, truly make us look at you in a new light!”

”Yes, Mr. Bai, your decisiveness is extraordinary, removing long-lasting issues, and we admire you greatly!”

”The Greater China Region is sure to welcome a new period of rapid development, and we are willing to make every effort to cooperate with Mr. Bai and forge ahead together!”

Those present, who typically counted as big leaders, were cultured individuals, each better at speaking than the last.

These words, which Cheng Dongyu often said in the past, now left him in a daze.

He was even more confused about what was going on.

Bai Xiaosheng raised his glass, and everyone else raised their glasses.

Cheng Dongyu was still in a daze, upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng and the others look at him, he snapped out of it, quickly smiled and raised his glass, with a mind clouded with confusion, joined everyone in clinking glasses.

When drinking this bottle of thousand-coin liquor, it entirely lacked its usual rich and enduring aroma, just felt intensely sharp.

It seems any delicacy requires the right frame of mind, and with a poor state of mind, even the most exquisite foods taste like ash.
