Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 We Do It Ourselves!_1

Manager Bai has a plan? The project director frowned.

Could it be that he wanted to put the stage construction on hold for two days and wait out the storm before proceeding?

The grand opening was drawing nearer by the day.

Even if there was ample time, delaying for a few days would make their own people anxious and disrupt the order.

”Or should I check online?” the project director suggested, somewhat reluctantly.

The construction teams available online were at two extremes. Either they were too large and wouldn’t take on such a small job, or they were too small, maybe one or two handymen, who simply couldn’t handle it.

Even if someone was found, could they be trusted, and could the project withstand any further setbacks?

”Maybe we should turn to an event company?” the project director was grasping at straws.

Sure, event companies had resources, but they didn’t just take on construction work.

Just like a bathhouse might sell bathing supplies, but if you go in just to buy those items, they won’t pay you any mind.

Having said that, the project director shook his head first, negating his own suggestion.

”Cheng, have we ever really worked with external construction teams in the latter stages of our projects?” Bai Xiaosheng suddenly asked.

”Yes,” Cheng, the project director, nodded.

At Treles Square, the entire architecture, including the overall decoration and landscape design, was a one-stop project handled entirely by a large domestic company.

Only after everything had been inspected and was found satisfactory did they leave the site.

”After the project was completed and passed three inspections, it was close to 90% of what we had envisioned. All subsequent issues were just minor details for modification. We did not work with outside construction teams for these; the engineering department handled them. If we were really busy, we’d go to the market to find some temporary craftsmen...”

As the project director was speaking, he caught Bai Xiaosheng smiling at him, which sparked a thought, and he blurted out, ”You mean we should handle the construction ourselves!”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

”I’ve looked it over, and the key parts of the stage construction are almost done by Zhou. After inspection, there don’t seem to be any major issues. The remaining workload is just two-fifths, and I think we can handle it!” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”On the project, if we’re short on tools, we can rent them; if we’re short on manpower, there’s plenty of skilled workers in the market! This time, if no one else is willing to come, we’ll do it ourselves! Choose the best workers, offer double the payment, and I don’t believe no one will come! You guys in engineering will get double pay this month!”

”Let’s do it!” the project director smacked his head firmly and laughed, ”I really got knocked silly by the situation, so stuck in my ways I couldn’t see around the corner. If no one comes, we’ll just do it ourselves! Alright, I think it’s feasible!”

The project director was brimming with confidence.

The old sages said a single leaf can block the view, and that the one in the game is often confused.

After the incident, the project director, faced with taking responsibility and feeling guilty and scared, lost his senses and became single-minded, frantically searching for construction teams when in fact, they could do the job themselves.

Bai Xiaosheng gave him a smile.

”Go, you know more about engineering matters than I do. I only have two requests: ensure we hire capable workers—selecting people is your strength—and pay attention to safety during construction, especially for high-altitude work.” Bai Xiaosheng patted the project director’s shoulder and smiled, ”I’m counting on you, brother!”

Cheng felt a warmth in his heart.

There was a solution to the issue, their department was getting double pay, and the boss trusted him!

Cheng opened his mouth to say some words of gratitude, but in the end, nothing came out.

”Manager Bai, don’t worry. I guarantee this time we will complete the work promptly and with quality!”

The project director said loudly, then turned and walked away with long strides.

Bai Xiaosheng watched him go.

One more problem was resolved.

”Address construction issues properly, boost staff morale, add two points.”

”As the current overall project manager, double the points, add two points.”

”Total points are now thirty, seventy points away from the position of Vice General Manager.”

Red Lotus’s voice rang out, but Bai Xiaosheng did not show excessive joy; instead, he gazed out of the window.

”Those people, whether they’ve truly joined forces or not, they are a tremendous threat to me, to this project! I can’t keep taking one step at a time anymore!”

”They can keep catching me off guard, time and time again, like today. How am I supposed to adapt on the fly and resolve these surprises? Once or twice, or maybe three or five times! But what if they come at me like this every day, what then?!”

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head secretly.

I can’t continue to just react passively anymore!

Now, with less than two weeks until the project’s opening, constantly staying on edge, guarding against those people, I won’t be able to hold out.

My body will break down, my spirit will collapse.

This is just Tiannan, just a minor managerial position, yet it’s already draining me so intensely. How will I handle even higher positions in the future, with even more schemes against me, simply by enduring?!

”There’s the saying ’A thief can’t be on guard for a thousand days, but a thief can operate for a thousand days!’”

Bai Xiaosheng snorted coldly, silently calculating in his mind.

”The resources at my disposal, in terms of money, I have two million six hundred thousand in the account, and I could apply for an additional five million from Red Lotus for legitimate reasons. My accessible connections include Shang Wenshu, District Chief Wu Qibing, Song Kai... and the Lu Family. The Lu Family’s favor, I will definitely not use for something so trivial... No, actually, I have some other helpers whose strengths may even surpass what I know...”

Bai Xiaosheng was calculating everything silently in his heart, planning everything, until finally a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had plenty of trump cards!

”But I’m afraid of being forced to constantly reveal my trump cards, to face trouble after trouble, and ultimately being worn down by them...”

Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, ”Perhaps, I shouldn’t be so assertive, winning every time isn’t necessarily a true win. Sometimes, one needs to advance by retreating. The key is to see who has the last laugh!”

Bai Xiaosheng turned around, went back to his desk, sat down, and grabbed an A4 paper, scribbling and sketching on it at will.

What he wrote was chaotic and messy, using single characters or some letters.

No one could make heads or tails of it, not those who might steal a glance, nor even someone standing right next to him.

This was Bai Xiaosheng’s scheming!

When he finally finished his scribbling, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the paper, very satisfied with what he saw.

”Let’s consider this my second set of plans, to have more than one string to my bow!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled confidently, memorized the contents on the paper, and then slowly tore it to shreds, tossing it into the waste basket.

He now looked relaxed.

The day passed without incident, and in the evening, Cheng, the head of the engineering department, reported the progress to Bai Xiaosheng.

The next day, to everyone’s surprise at the project site—the construction team had arrived!

The leader of this construction team was none other than Cheng.

Once the news spread, even Wang Ye was taken aback for a moment, his gaze flickering uncertainly, until he finally grumbled, ”That’s pretty clever of you!”

Under Cheng’s leadership, the construction team quickly began setting up the stage with efficiency that was not only on par with Zhou’s team but even faster and better.

The hired technicians and day laborers were personally selected by Cheng, skilled and hardworking, completing their tasks swiftly and effectively.

As the stage was being erected, the people on the project watched with joy in their hearts.

Bai Xiaosheng waited silently for his opponents to make their move.

Yet the site remained quiet for three consecutive days.

However, the quieter it became, the more Bai Xiaosheng had a premonition.

The next wave of attack was about to arrive, and it would be even stronger!

Indeed, on the fourth day, with just ten days left until the opening of the project.

A news story exploded at Xiangdong Plaza.

Shocking Tiannan!
