Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 It’s About Time_1

”They don’t need to sneak off, I said yesterday that anyone who wants to go, I’ll approve their leave,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

With a pout and disbelief on her face, Han Shuying replied, ”Really? You’re not just fishing for responses, are you? You’re too kind-hearted.”

Bai Xiaosheng just shrugged his shoulders without explanation.

”If that’s true, then you’re not a bad leader. If I were an employee, I’d like a boss like you,” Han Shuying said.

”Are you considering a career change? It’s not too late.”

Bai Xiaosheng teased.

While they were chatting, someone knocked on the office door.

Following the knock, Cheng, the head of the engineering department, entered, nodded at Han Shuying, and reported to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Manager Bai, all departments are ready as you instructed, standing by.”

”Okay, got it,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

The engineering department head left the room, gently closing the door behind him.

Then, the door was knocked on again; this time, it was the head of the administration department who came in.

”Should we keep an eye on Vice General Manager Wang Ye’s side?”

The administration head knew Han Shuying was not part of the project, but a friend and external support to Bai Xiaosheng, not an outsider, so there was no need for discretion.

”No need, as long as he doesn’t forcibly unveil those materials under the tarps, let him be,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

The administration head nodded, gave Han Shuying a smile, and then left the room quietly, closing the door behind her.

In the next few moments, various people came in - employees, heads of departments, and even Chen Daya, who was another manager.

Shuying’s eyes sparkled.

Regardless of their positions, all of them looked to Bai Xiaosheng for guidance, and even those of equal rank came to report to him.

Dealing with them, Bai Xiaosheng was affable and composed, not trying to show off, yet exuding an aura of unspoken authority.

Shuying even felt a sense of pressure herself.

When no more people came in, Bai Xiaosheng’s demeanor relaxed.

Only then did Shuying breathe a sigh of relief, unable to resist whispering, ”Now I see why you’re not interested in the gaming industry. You’re a natural-born king in the business world!”

”What did you say?” Bai Xiaosheng asked, puzzled.

He hadn’t heard her clearly.

”I didn’t say anything,” Shuying said with a playful smile, her eyes holding a different kind of allure.

A man focused on his work, with his mind on his career, always has a way of making a woman’s heart flutter.

”So, what should I do now?” Shuying couldn’t help but volunteer her services.

”Now?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled softly, ”It’s still early, let’s watch some TV.”

Watch TV?

With a puzzled look from Shuying, Bai Xiaosheng actually turned on the wall-mounted television in his office and started projecting a program via his computer.

What he watched was the live broadcast of the Xiangdong Plaza extravaganza!

The moment the helicopter made its appearance during the opening show, even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but exclaim, ”That’s quite the investment, such a dazzling scene!”

At this moment, it wasn’t just Bai Xiaosheng watching the TV; many people on the project were gathered around their computers, eyes glued to the screen, watching Wei Moran’s concert.

Not being able to attend in person was truly regrettable!

Plus, the concert was right in Tiannan; an opportunity like this might never come again!

The people at Teles Square were filled with infinite regret and intense remorse.

But when Bai Xiaosheng had said they could take leave, not a single person asked for it, not even one.

It wasn’t that they didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng, his actions over the past few days had fully demonstrated that he was a quirky leader. He forbade overtime before the opening, allowing the project to openly watch the concert.

If he said he’d grant leave, it meant just that, with no repercussions later, even the supervisors guaranteed it.

Yet still, no one left.

If the concert had been in the evening, after the opening, many would have gone, but now, this was just before the opening of Teles Square!

Everyone is emotionally invested in this project, and that sentiment even prevails over their pursuit of idols!

”It sounds so good! Wei Moran truly deserves to be my idol!”

Gazing at the silhouette on the screen and listening to the singing voice reminiscent of Heaven’s Melody, the usually carefree Yezi found herself with tears in her eyes.

”She’s my idol too!”

Song smacked his lips and said, ”For her next concert, even if it’s at the ends of the earth, I’ll follow. I have to see it live!”

”So do you two regret it now?”

Wang, who had been silent up until then, suddenly interjected.

Yezi and Song exchanged glances, their answers unexpectedly in unison.

”Regret it, but also don’t regret it!”

This paradoxical statement elicited a wry smile from Wang.

Without responding, Wang too fixed his eyes on the screen, enjoying the singing, muttering under his breath, ”Who says the modern youth are a degenerate generation? What a load of bullshit!”

The same scene unfolded throughout Teles Square, with the people of Treles feeling an immense sense of regret but also no remorse for their choice.

In Vice General Manager Wang Ye’s office.

Assistant Qian rushed in, his eyes brimming with excitement.

”Mrs. Wang, I’ve finally got some news!”

”Oh?” Wang Ye’s eyes lit up.

”People on the project are all watching Wei Moran’s concert livestream. From Manager Bai Xiaosheng’s office, the same sounds are coming through—he’s watching it too!” Assistant Qian snitched.

Bai Xiaosheng is watching too? Wang Ye frowned.

Have all the people on this project gone mad?!

They must have decided to give up completely, now they’re all just slacking off.

”Wait, is this the news you’ve got?!” Wang Ye suddenly snapped back to reality, frowning at Assistant Qian.

”Uh, yeah,” Assistant Qian, feeling unsettled by the stare, stammered in response.

Wang Ye, infuriated, pointed a finger at him and finally managed to blurt out, ”I sent you out to gather information, do you think I want to hear this crap? Get out! You’re truly as dumb as a pig!”

Assistant Qian scrambled out in disarray.

He was originally dispatched by Wang Ye to find out what lay underneath those tarpaulins...

At the entrance of Teles Square.

Zhuang Boyi and Ma were still on guard, while Ma was watching the concert livestream on his phone, his eyes nearly bulging out, a dirty grin on his flushed face.

You old pervert!

Zhuang Boyi looked at him, speechless.

Zhuang Boyi wasn’t much interested in the concert but had a much keen fondness for cold hard cash.

The crowd control barriers at Teles Square, more robust than those at Xiangdong Plaza, seemed pointless with not a soul in sight.

Zhuang Boyi sneered but also itched with impatience.

The vast tarpaulins shrouding the exterior, each guarded by several members of Zidun Security, deterred him from getting too close.

”It’s nearly noon, the concert at Xiangdong Plaza is almost over, yet these tarps here are still up. Are they not going to be taken down until the opening?” Zhuang Boyi mumbled to himself, smacking his lips.

Even now, Treles Square still plays the mysterious card.

What the hell is Bai Xiaosheng up to with this act!

Zhuang Boyi, mystified yet scoffing, said, ”No matter what you’re scheming, I’ll take some pictures to promote your ’environmental’ contributions for Treles Square, so peaceful that not even a bird lands!”

Zhuang Boyi quietly sneakily captured photos with his camera.

At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng, who was watching the concert in his office, suddenly looked up at the clock and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

”It’s about time!”
