Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 315: 315

Agreed to all of that without any hesitation!

Song Changkong had originally thought that Shang Wanwan would erupt in fury upon seeing such an unequal ”treaty.” Even if she didn’t lose her temper in public, her complexion definitely wouldn’t look too good. And even if she had enough self-control to not change her expression in public, she would surely come to bargain with him.

All the way there, Song Changkong had been mulling over which terms on paper he could relinquish, should Shang Wanwan come to haggle with him.

Of course, he would explain things to Bai Xiaosheng. Even if Bai Xiaosheng weren’t reasonable, he should at least show him a modicum of face, considering he was still the general manager, after all.

But the result.

Far from getting angry, Shang Wanwan was overjoyed and agreed to everything. It made Song Changkong actually think that he had picked up the wrong document, one that offered concessions to Shang Wanwan.

As for Chen Changqing’s part, Song Changkong decided it was better not to give it to him publicly after all.

Now was a time rife with complications; maintaining stability was paramount, and getting Shang Wanwan to sign the contract was the most important matter.

However, Song Changkong had been negligent. He had only considered Shang Wanwan’s reactions and failed to anticipate that, upon glancing over her portion and spotting those ”punishments” for Chen Changqing, she would subconsciously pass the paper to Chen Changqing.

No!

By the time Song Changkong realized it, it was already too late.

Chen Changqing took the paper with a suspicious look, scanned it rapidly, and was shocked when he saw the additional conditions Bai Xiaosheng had given to Shang Wanwan.

Upon seeing the ”punishment” for himself, Chen Changqing’s face suddenly darkened.

Rage mixed with shock!

Yes, he and Shang Wanwan had teamed up to make a fool out of Bai Xiaosheng.

But Mr. Bai had actually imposed a punishment on a colleague of his rank, deducting a quarter of the department funds for the Gaming Division to give to the New Media Division?

Absurd!

Was there anything more ridiculous than that?

”Mr. Song, what’s the meaning of this? What is Bai Xiaosheng implying?” Chen Changqing exclaimed, shaking the paper in his hand as he questioned Song Changkong, ”Penalizing the Gaming Division’s department funds? Is he penalizing the Gaming Division, or penalizing me?”

Chen Changqing found it hard to accept and couldn’t help but raise his voice, ”By what right!?”

With one sentence, the whole room went silent.

Incredulity was written on everyone’s faces.

It might have been considered outrageous before.

Mr. Bai had his people stop Shang Wanwan, and Mr. Song too. But since Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t present, he could claim his subordinates misinterpreted his intentions.

There was room for explanation, a way to talk oneself out of it.

Now, Mr. Song had personally gone to Bai Xiaosheng to speak with him and bring out that paper.

Seeing Mr. Song a bit nervous as he handed the paper to Shang Wanwan, everyone had a hunch.

That paper definitely contained the contract terms set by Mr. Bai.

Shang Wanwan’s reaction confirmed this.

Everyone was impressed!

To negotiate a contract this successfully...who else could pull it off?

In all of Zhongjing Media, no, in the entire Zhongjing...who else could negotiate a contract like this?

Just when everyone was still in shock, an even bigger surprise came their way.

Shang Wanwan passed the paper to Mr. Chen, and there were even punishments for Mr. Chen, for the Gaming Division?!

This was openly slapping someone in the face, wasn’t it?

Yu Qing and Murong Yan were dumbstruck.

Lin Beichen was like someone struck by lightning, with only his eyes twitching slightly.

The subtle power struggle between the past deputy directors had always been behind the scenes, never in plain sight. Punishing a department directly under the other party was preposterous!

After a moment of deathly silence, a rustling murmur spread across the room.

Those present were all department heads and elite managers, well-informed individuals.

They were all too aware of the disputes between the two deputy directors.

With Mr. Bai failing to seal the deal twice, and rumors of Mr. Chen signing a contract with Shang Wanwan, those with keen minds could see the clear picture!

It must be that Mr. Chen had undermined Mr. Bai, and now, Mr. Bai’s revenge had arrived!

”This time, Mr. Chen seems to have gone a bit too far, and Mr. Bai’s counterattack is within reason!”

”Yes, Mr. Bai has been teased time and again; even a Buddha would lose patience at this point.”

”Alas, Mr. Chen really crossed the line, let’s see what he can do now...”

In the midst of the discussions, public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.

Chen Changqing naturally heard it.

His face turned pale, and he looked around angrily, yet he couldn’t pinpoint who was talking; those cunning people were all looking at him, but he saw no one’s mouth moving.

Still, the murmur of discussion didn’t stop.

Chen Changqing’s face went from green to white, the whole person shaking with anger.

Shang Wanwan stood beside him, looking at him with some sympathy.

That Bai Xiaosheng may just be someone you really can’t afford to provoke!

Shang Wanwan sighed inwardly to herself.

This time, both you and I have misjudged!

Only I have come to my senses, while you still haven’t!

A flicker of unusual light danced in Shang Wanwan’s beautiful eyes.

It’s best to avoid contact with this Chen Changqing in the future!

He has offended the man behind Bai Xiaosheng, and is courting disaster!

What a pity about the potential collaboration with Chen Jiuzheng, it seems it won’t be feasible now!

Shang Wanwan felt regretful but recognized that to avoid misfortune, she had to abandon the idea willingly.

”Enough, all of you shut up!”

Song Changkong suddenly let out a low shout.

The entire place fell silent.

No one dared to speak ill anymore.

Song Changkong looked indifferent and calm as he glanced at Chen Changqing.

After all, the fact remained that Chen Changqing was at fault first; this was indisputable.

In short, it was all self-inflicted.

”Mr. Chen, this was also a decision by the company! Your subordinate made a mistake and must accept the consequences... there’s no need to say more about this!” Song Changkong said with an air of authority.

He blatantly told a white lie, shifting the blame to Chen Changqing’s subordinate, as a way to give him an out.

After exploding with rage, Chen Changqing gave a fierce glare to the New Media Department, then turned and left without a word, not even waiting for the elevator.

Yu Qing and Murong Yan hurried to follow him.

Lin Beichen also scurried after him; their retreating figures looked dejected, eliciting sighs of pity as they disappeared into the stairwell.

Song Changkong breathed out an inaudible sigh of relief, feeling irritated as he saw the directors stretching their necks to watch.

”Stop gawking, everyone go back to your departments! Today’s report meeting is postponed until next week!”

By now, Song Changkong had no mood to continue the meeting either.

Just as the directors and managers were about to leave, someone suddenly shouted out.

”Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Bai is here!”

Those ready to leave paused in their tracks, all turning to look.

The one hundred-plus members of the New Media Department on site parted to either side with reverence, opening up a path.

Bai Xiaosheng came through it with a calm expression, followed by the equally measured footsteps of Lin Weiwei.

”Has everything been settled?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile, addressing Mr. Song, ”I appreciate Mr. Song sending someone to draft the contract, and please, have Miss Shang sign it.”

”Miss Shang, as our new partner, please, follow me to the Film and Television Department for a tour,” Bai Xiaosheng offered with a warm and friendly smile.

”Of course!” Shang Wanwan responded very politely.

Song Changkong revealed a faint, bitter smile.

Bai Xiaosheng was now even giving him orders.

It really makes one wonder who the actual boss of Zhongjing Media is!
