Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 168: Chapter 168 Trouble Now!_1

Bai Xiaosheng took over as the person in charge of Treles Square!

This news, after the meeting, instantaneously spread throughout the entire project.

The entire staff layer was boiling with excitement!

In the Promotion Department, Wang, Song, and Yezi were so surprised that they were speechless for quite a while.

Looking back on when Bai Xiaosheng first arrived, who could have imagined that in just under two and a half months, he would become the sole person in charge of the entire Treles Square project!

Even Vice General Manager Wang Ye promised not to interfere with any of his work.

The company was filled with deep feelings of admiration.

This might be the fastest promotion from the grass-roots level in the history of Century Construction!

Truly a devilish talent!

Beyond their shock, Wang and others were also very happy, thinking about finding time to properly celebrate with Bai Xiaosheng.

The employees engaged in enthusiastic discussions, while the managers were likewise struggling to calm their emotions.

Having experienced today’s meeting, the engineering supervisor had now become a loyal fan of Bai Xiaosheng.

The ”Devil Bai” that he used to complain about incessantly had now transformed into a truly good leader!

Under his lead, the heads of other departments also began to recognize the various strengths of Bai Xiaosheng.

Since becoming manager, Bai Xiaosheng trusted his team, dared to delegate authority, avoided petty faults-finding, gave no random orders, and refrained from random scolding; he was generally amicable...

Compared to him, Vice General Manager Wang Ye seemed worse by several multiples.

Especially given that they didn’t have to deal with people like Assistant Qian anymore, the managers expressed their happiness.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng’s approval rating within the project skyrocketed like never before.

However, Wang Ye, after Bai Xiaosheng had readily agreed, wrapped up the meeting hastily, and rushed back to his own office with Assistant Qian.

Originally, he had prepared a whole set of arguments to persuade Bai Xiaosheng to take over the position, and he had even planned to force the promotion if necessary.

But...

Bai Xiaosheng just accepted like that!

Eagerly, without any hesitation, he agreed!

Back in his own office, Wang Ye pondered for a long time yet couldn’t grasp the scheme.

It was like playing a card game where he led with a three and the opponent immediately played a King Bomb...

What kind of strategy was this!

”Qian, what do you think that kid is plotting?” Wang Ye couldn’t help but ask his own strategist.

He was truly not adept at guessing people’s intentions.

”Well, I’m not sure either,” Assistant Qian hesitated, similarly confused, ”Maybe it’s because he’s young and can’t resist the temptation of a high position...”

”Nonsense, that kid might be young, but he’s slicker than an eel!” Wang Ye snorted coldly, ”Look at his performance today. Let me tell you, I now find it more difficult to deal with him than with Shang Wenshu. He’s clever, always acting beyond your expectations!”

Assistant Qian profoundly agreed.

The more he interacted with Bai Xiaosheng, the more he felt that although Bai seemed harmless at first glance, he always managed to catch you off guard and throw you into disarray.

Thinking back to the chilling glimpses he received in the meeting today, Assistant Qian shuddered, still somewhat traumatized.

”Nonetheless, fortunately, we achieved our goal today!”

Wang Ye could not help the cold smirk that spread across his lips. Only by making Bai Xiaosheng take the role of project head, he would win!

By doing so, he tied Bai Xiaosheng to the project; if the project failed, so would Bai Xiaosheng!

This had been Wang Ye’s strategy from the beginning of the project!

It was just carried out in stages to avoid resistance.

”You may be the cunning and sly Sun Wukong, but I am the Buddha, can you escape the palm of my hand!”

Wang Ye looked at his palm, slowly closed it into a fist, and his cold laughter turned into a sinister snicker.

”Mrs. Wang, I guess I don’t have to write that ten-thousand-word report now, do I?” Assistant Qian asked cautiously from the side.

This was not part of the plan.

”Of course, you have to write it!”

Wang Ye gave him a look and murmured, ”Now that Bai Xiaosheng is the head, who knows if he’ll want to check it. We can’t give him any excuse.”

Assistant Qian couldn’t help but twist his mouth into a bitter smile.

Who had he provoked? He was just an advisor, yet also served as cannon fodder.

A ten-thousand-word report!

It almost matched a short story!

”Alright, we should go too, to avoid affecting the show later on!” Wang Ye stood up, his laugh filled with ominous coldness.

At this moment.

In his own office, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t have the joyful composure that people outside imagined, but instead a solemnity incongruent with his age.

”Does Wang Ye want to take this opportunity to deal with me? It won’t be that easy!” Bai Xiaosheng scoffed coldly.

At that time, Bai Xiaosheng had searched for office machiavellianism, adopting a strategy of advancing by retreating. Sure enough, it was very useful.

”However, Wang must be feeling proud now, finally putting me on the grill, the total responsibility for the project? Humph, what a big hat!”

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, not at all concerned.

The bigger the hat, the greater the risk.

This meant that if there was any problem with the project, he would be the first person responsible. He was now tied to this project, for better or for worse. If the project went down, so would he.

But his potential gain was also huge!

Double the score! The temptation was irresistible!

Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

”Fortune favors the bold. To earn high scores, one must be prepared to take risks.”

However, this double score was only valid during the tenure as the total responsible person for the project. After leaving Teles Square, it would cease to exist.

This was quite frustrating!

Bai Xiaosheng tried to get some hints from Red Lotus about the triggers for the double scores.

But Red Lotus kept her lips sealed, giving away nothing.

Bai Xiaosheng was at a loss.

”Forget it, the most pressing task at hand is to find a new construction team and finish the stage. Fortunately, much of the stage has already been erected and inspected without issues. As long as we have the manpower, I believe the work can be completed smoothly within a week. Luckily, the progress of each of our tasks is significantly ahead. There shouldn’t be any impact.”

Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

”The project supervisor has gone to look for a construction team; he should be back soon.”

Some things can’t be rushed, and haste won’t help.

Bai Xiaosheng brewed himself a pot of tea and leisurely started drinking.

Yet, all through the afternoon, the project supervisor hadn’t come back to report to him, which somewhat surprised Bai Xiaosheng.

Could it be hard to find a construction team in Tiannan?

”Manager Bai!”

Finally, the door to Bai Xiaosheng’s office was pushed open, and the project supervisor hurried in.

Seeing him, Bai Xiaosheng was startled.

The project supervisor looked haggard, his forehead covered with sweat beads, his lips so dry they were peeling.

Bai Xiaosheng stood up and filled a disposable cup with water for him, ”No hurry, have some water first!”

The project supervisor gave him a grateful look, took the water cup with both hands, and drank it in one gulp, smacking his lips, evidently not enough.

Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand, and the supervisor went to get himself another three cups, gulping them down swiftly.

He was truly parched.

Could it be that he had been running around outside the whole time?

Contacting a construction team, was it that strenuous?

The project supervisor, in charge of the project construction and management, was supposed to have plenty of connections.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly had a bad premonition, and his expression grew serious.

”Manager Bai, we’ve run into trouble!” The project supervisor said, his mouth twisted, his face grim.

”No one is willing to take on this job!”
