Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 303: Chapter 303: First Defeat_1

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shang Wanwan in surprise.

Shang Wanwan had asked Song Changkong for sky-high prices, and here she was, seemingly ready to settle the debt on the spot.

Next, conventionally, both parties should engage in a battle of wits, back and forth, one raising the price, the other pushing it down...

How had they agreed with just a few sentences?

You must know, he had only increased the monetary part by ten percent and acquiesced to thirty percent of the other conditions, and Shang Wanwan had compromised?

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shang Wanwan with some suspicion.

”Mr. Bai, don’t look at me like that. Wanwan is not unreasonable. Just now, you also said that our cooperation is not a one-off deal, but a long-term partnership.”

Shang Wanwan spoke earnestly, her expression and words sincere, ”Actually, Wanwan is aware of how harsh the conditions I mentioned to Mr. Song at the cocktail party were. I was just testing your sincerity. Now that Mr. Bai can talk so frankly with Wanwan and offer such favorable terms, it’s clear you’re very sincere. Naturally, Wanwan would agree!”

Shang Wanwan’s words were beautifully said.

However, Bai Xiaosheng still felt the reasons were insufficient.

It even felt rather frivolous...

”If that’s the case, may I know when we can sign the contract?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

No matter what the real situation was, actually signing a contract made it solid.

”Tomorrow, I suppose. I still have some things to discuss with my company,” Shang Wanwan said with a smile.

The two chatted casually a little more, not even taking the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Afterward, they went their separate ways.

Back in her room, Shang Wanwan’s assistant, Xiao Mai, was very curious, ”Shang, you agreed to him so quickly? He only added ten percent to the price and agreed to only part of the conditions, which is far from what we expected.”

Xiao Mai was not aware of the cooperation that Chen Changqing and Shang Wanwan had achieved, and Shang Wanwan had not had the time to mention it.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Xiao Mai, but that there hadn’t been time.

”Everything, let’s talk in detail when we get back!” Shang Wanwan waved her hand and spoke in a hushed voice.

Then, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Changqing:

Everything went smoothly!

Chen Changqing replied with an OK emoji.

Our cooperation has gone smoothly. Poor Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, he has no idea that he is about to be played for a fool!

Shang Wanwan smirked silently.

Although she had a good impression of Bai Xiaosheng, who would’ve thought Bai Xiaosheng, with no background, had offended someone like Chen Changqing.

That’s Chen Jiuzheng’s nephew!

Shang Wanwan reflected.

Vaguely, she felt that there might be even bigger figures behind Chen Changqing...

This time, even if I completely offend that Mr. Bai, I won’t lose anything. Instead, I could earn significant favors!

I’ve hit the jackpot!

Shang Wanwan couldn’t help but curl up the corners of her mouth in self-satisfaction.

Meanwhile.

Bai Xiaosheng left the Zhongjing Wanhe Building and rushed back to his company.

On the way, he scratched his face in puzzlement, mumbling to himself.

”This has gone too smoothly; there must be something fishy. But now, I can’t go back and directly ask that Shang Wanwan what kind of game she is playing...”

”Had I known, I would have had the Micro Expression Analysis System on. I was careless! This is a wake-up call; I must be cautious with beautiful women and treat them with the utmost caution...”

”Let it be, first let Mr. Song and the others get ready. No matter what happens, we will know by tomorrow. If there are any issues, I’ll deal with them as they come...”

After muttering to himself, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t forget to mention Chen Changqing as well.

”I wonder if Chen has talked with Shang Wanwan, what kind of offer he made...”

Back at the company, Bai Xiaosheng went straight to Song Changkong to report the situation, and Song Changkong was thrilled.

Not only was the deal successful, but it only took a third of the planned time.

For that, Song Changkong gave Bai Xiaosheng high praise.

However, amidst his joy, Song Changkong felt a strong sense of regret.

If Bai Xiaosheng could handle Shang Wanwan so easily, then what was left of his rivalry with Chen Changqing?

After sending Bai Xiaosheng away, Song Changkong thought for a moment and then made a direct call to Chen Changqing.

”Mr. Chen, why are you acting so late? Mr. Bai has already settled everything here, and the formal signing is tomorrow. Look, he is managing two departments and also in charge of a major project. You’re just in charge of one department... It’s really a waste of someone of your caliber as a deputy general. Why don’t you stop managing the department and focus solely on researching the future direction of the company’s development, compiling the corporate culture? This is an important task.”

On the phone, Song Changkong spoke earnestly, applying ointment to Chen Changqing’s eyes while persuading him to give up real power.

Song Changkong was an old fox and knew Chen Changqing cared about his image; he wouldn’t ask for real power after repeatedly losing face.

Whether it was to stir up trouble between Bai and Chen or to take back one department, Song Changkong was more than happy.

”Mr. Song, you mean Mr. Bai has settled it? That still needs an official contract to count. Until the end, nobody knows the result,” said Chen Changqing on the phone, his voice steady. Facing Song Changkong’s proposed job shift, he brushed it off casually, ”Changqing needs to start with one department to better understand our company’s culture, in order to offer suggestions for the future development!”

Song Changkong chatted idly for a bit longer, then hung up the phone and couldn’t help but frown and curse, ”One after another, they’re all so slippery and tough to deal with!”

Elsewhere.

Bai Xiaosheng returned to the New Media Department.

A day passed without incident.

The next day, Song Changkong specially arranged for several people from Film and Television Department and Administrative Department to form a signing team to go to Zhongjing Wanhe Building with Bai Xiaosheng to sign the contract.

Somehow, the news had been leaked.

The whole company was paying close attention, after all, it was the formal signing of a contract with the big star Shang Wanwan.

After the signing team had been gone for a few hours, when they finally returned, none of their faces looked good, including Bai Xiaosheng’s.

It didn’t take long for the employee layer to explode—

The contract was not agreed upon!

The signing team had waited for more than two hours, only to receive an apology from Shang Wanwan at the end.

It was said that after communicating with her own company, the contract was not approved.

Mr. Bai had made such a big fuss, only to be left with a huge embarrassment.

Suddenly, he became the laughingstock!

”What’s going on with Mr. Bai? Didn’t he say everything was settled?”

When the news arrived, Chen Changqing was reporting the monthly plan to Song Changkong. Learning of the failure, Song Changkong was furious.

Such a matter, once failed, put them in a passive position!

”Mr. Bai was too eager to take control of the Film and Television Department, a mistake was inevitable,” Chen Changqing said with a smile.

Song Changkong remained silent, his expression extremely displeased.

Chen Changqing smiled subtly.

Back in the New Media Department, Bai Xiaosheng received a call from Shang Wanwan.

”I’m so sorry, Mr. Bai, you see, there’s been a bit of a situation on my end, let me handle it. Let’s talk about the partnership again tomorrow!”

On the phone, Shang Wanwan’s words were heartfelt.

”Alright,” Bai Xiaosheng replied calmly.

But his brows were deeply furrowed.

On the other end of the phone, after hanging up, Shang Wanwan laughed cunningly like a fox.
