Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Waiting for Tomorrow_1

Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking and, without even glancing at Assistant Xiao Mai and the agent, swept out of the room.

Lin Weiwei, listening to Bai Xiaosheng’s words, appeared somewhat excited. She coldly shot a glance at Xiao Mai, grabbed her things with a flick of her hand.

”Let’s go!”

The staff of Zhongjing Media stood up in unison and filed out. Even the employees trailing behind didn’t forget to snatch the contract from in front of Xiao Mai and her companion, stuffing it into a folder to take with them.

If they weren’t signing it, there was no point in looking at it anymore.

Assistant Xiao Mai and the agent watched in a mixture of shock and anger as the others left triumphantly, their expressions flickering uncertainly.

After a long moment, Xiao Mai managed to squeeze a few words out through clenched teeth, ”Has this vice president gone mad!”

To think he would tear up relations with them over a mere assistant, to the point of not even signing the contract now.

This was simply unbelievable!

Long had it been said that Mr. Bai of Zhongjing Media was a capricious and violent character; indeed, seeing is believing!

Although Xiao Mai was following Shang Wanwan’s instructions to deliberately pick fights and create friction, there was an insinuating tone to her earlier provocations. But she hadn’t expected Vice President Bai Xiaosheng, in a fit of rage, to openly break off relations on the spot!

How could such a person become a vice president!

”Forget it, in any case, Shang just wanted us to sabotage the signing, and we have accomplished that,” the agent whispered to Xiao Mai.

”Failing to sign the contract twice, with everyone watching, Mr. Bai has become a laughingstock. Let’s go back. As for the rest, Shang will deal with it. It’s not our concern!”

The agent’s words made Xiao Mai nod incessantly, a cold smile spreading across her face.

The fact that they hadn’t succeeded in signing the contract twice must be well-known throughout Zhongjing Media by now.

Even though both parties were keen to sign, to cause such a commotion every time and still fail to finalize a contract.

Bai Xiaosheng’s competence would inevitably be questioned; even if it didn’t completely ruin his reputation, he was bound to become an object of ridicule.

And their Mr. Song, would surely be furious.

”And this isn’t over yet. Tomorrow, we have another big show prepared for you!” thought Xiao Mai with unrestrained glee.

Just now, this Mr. Bai had humiliated her so shamefully, she was going to enjoy a good laugh tomorrow!

...

Bai Xiaosheng, leading Lin Weiwei and the others, made their way back.

Midway, Bai Xiaosheng instructed the staff to head back first.

”Mr. Bai, how should we respond to Mr. Song?” asked the head person tentatively.

Should we find an excuse...

Actually, before Shang Wanwan’s arrival, when Assistant Mai was making sarcastic remarks, these people merely treated it as a spectacle. But, when Xiao Mai insulted Lin Weiwei—one of their own—the staff of Zhongjing Media couldn’t help but share a sense of communal indignation and anger.

When Bai Xiaosheng stood up to reject the signing, they were shocked yet pleased.

They were also aware of the bet between the two vice presidents.

In such a scenario, for Bai Xiaosheng to reject the contract because an assistant had been insulted, and to not care about the outcome of the wager, was an act of dominance that inspired admiration and awe!

”Answer truthfully,” said Bai Xiaosheng very calmly, uttering these four words.

”Understood!” The leader did not say more, nodding respectfully before signaling for his people to leave.

Bai Xiaosheng led Lin Weiwei back to the New Media Department.

”Mr. Bai, it’s all because of me...”

When there were fewer people around on the way, Lin Weiwei felt uneasy and timidly tried to apologize.

”Silly girl, don’t overthink it, it doesn’t have much to do with you!” Bai Xiaosheng gave Lin Weiwei a radiant smile.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng’s smile grew cold, ”Haven’t you realized yet? All this talk about an emergency meeting, Shang Wanwan had no intention of signing this time. It wasn’t because of you; her assistant and agent would have found a hundred other excuses to refuse to sign.”

Bai Xiaosheng sneered, this time he was prepared. He just wanted to see, to confirm, whether Shang Wanwan and Chen Changqing knew when to back off!

If that’s the case, then let’s tear off the masks!

...

Back in the office, Bai Xiaosheng was drinking the bitter tea brewed by Lin Weiwei herself.

At the moment, Lin Weiwei felt touched that Bai Xiaosheng had stood up for her, yet she worried that he might be infuriated by these events.

In the office, she was anxious and tentative, like a little maid, wishing she could massage his legs and shoulders to attend to him.

Seeing her so flustered, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to send her to the editing team to help out. When people get busy, they stop having idle thoughts.

After sending Lin Weiwei away, Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t finished his cup of tea when his mobile phone rang.

Bai Xiaosheng picked it up to see, the caller was Shang Wanwan.

Bai Xiaosheng answered the call.

”Is that Mr. Bai? It’s Wanwan.”

On the other end of the line, Shang Wanwan’s voice was full of apology, ”Xiao Mai has already told me about the situation. I scolded her severely. I’m very sorry for today’s issue. Tomorrow, I have to leave Zhongjing early. Before I go, I want to sign the contract. This time, I’ll have Mr. Song witness the signing, and we’ll go by the last terms you proposed.”

Once again, Shang Wanwan was all courtesy, gently agreeing to sign the contract.

This was already the third time.

”Alright,” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was flat, without joy or sorrow, devoid of any emotion.

As if the failure of the previous two attempts to sign the contract didn’t concern him in the slightest.

In the phone call, Shang Wanwan chatted with him for a bit longer, then hung up.

Bai Xiaosheng placed his mobile phone on the desk, got up to refill his cup with lukewarm water, and frowned as he sipped slowly.

It took a full five minutes to finish the cup of water. Bai Xiaosheng put down his teacup, picked up his phone, and opened WeChat.

...

Meanwhile.

After hanging up the call, Shang Wanwan gave Chen Changqing in front of her a charming smile.

”Mr. Chen, I have done as you instructed. By tomorrow, I will have thoroughly offended Mr. Bai! After signing the contract, I need to ’lay low’ until filming starts before coming back. By then, I believe you will have firmly taken control of the film and television department. When the time comes, you must protect me well,” Shang Wanwan said to Chen Changqing.

Chen Changqing laughed heartily upon hearing this, ”Miss Wanwan, you are being too serious. I’m not instructing you, and I wouldn’t dare to. We are collaborating. Besides, to make you offend someone, I’ve made quite many concessions. If anyone gives you a hard time, I’ll step in for you!”

Chen Changqing spoke with a boisterous air.

He spoke the truth; to get Shang Wanwan to cooperate, he indeed had made many concessions.

Tomorrow, not only would Shang Wanwan have to sign a contract with Zhongjing Media, but she would also need to sign another contract arranged by Chen Jiuzheng.

Only after both contracts were signed would these matters be truly concluded.

Afterward, Shang Wanwan also had to return to her media company to handle related matters.

With a smile on her face, Shang Wanwan stood up to pour two glasses of red wine, handing one to Chen Changqing, ”It’s been a pleasure to collaborate with Mr. Chen this time. I hope we can continue to work together in the future.”

Chen Changqing took the glass with a smile, gently swirling it and admiring the ruby-red liquid before raising it for a toast with Shang Wanwan.

”Cheers, to a pleasant collaboration!” Chen Changqing said with a smile, his gaze distant.

Thinking of what Bai Xiaosheng’s expression would be like tomorrow, he was filled with anticipation!
