Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 358: Chapter 358 How I See Him Win_1

Bai Xiaosheng rushed back to the New Media Department, thinking as he walked.

He was organizing his thoughts, phrasing his words, planning his argument, summarizing and analyzing the pros and cons of insisting on hiring the Ron Team under the current situation, pondering how to make the most persuasive case.

At the same time, Bai Xiaosheng also had Red Lotus search for all available information from Europe and look for similar cases and judgments to analyze.

He wanted to gauge the worst-case scenario, to see how bad it could get!

It was a grand project of thought, so much so that Bai Xiaosheng, overly focused, missed many people’s greetings.

”Mr. Bai rushes with such urgency, is he troubled, why is he so distracted?”

”Yes, he wasn’t like this before.”

”Perhaps he is considering the company’s development, tired, he should pay more attention to rest!”

Countless concerns followed him along the way.

Lin Weiwei was busy in the department when she heard the discussions, so she hurried back to the office and found Bai Xiaosheng with his hands stacked on the desk and his chin resting on the back of his hands, leaning on the desk with wide-open eyes, infrequently blinking.

It looked like he was deep in thought and yet not.

”Xiaosheng?” Lin Weiwei called out with concern.

After several calls, Bai Xiaosheng finally came back to his senses, recognized her, and smiled good-naturedly, ”Oh, is something up?”

”Are you all right?” Lin Weiwei probed.

”Me? I’m fine, I’m just thinking. Right, tell the writers in the department to come to me in two hours. I need them,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Lin Weiwei responded and saw Bai Xiaosheng lying on the table like a sloth again, his eyes wide and expressive yet unfocused, his gaze drifting far away.

Lin Weiwei tiptoed out, following Bai Xiaosheng’s instructions to find people.

Bai Xiaosheng quietly lay for over an hour before finally sitting up straight and rubbing his temples.

”After analyzing fifteen similar cases, in the worst-case scenario, Ron’s team, to avoid other penalties, might have to pay a fine of about two million euros, which is equivalent to fifteen million seven hundred thousand yuan in RMB—a hefty sum indeed!” Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed.

Ron had mentioned over drinks that he was bankrupt.

This wasn’t a joke; Ron Team really had no money now and couldn’t afford such a large fine.

Of course, this was Bai Xiaosheng preparing for the worst-case scenario.

”This must be Kevin’s doing. Judging by the determination he showed in taking down Kaisen, this man is a ruthless and aggressive figure. If Ron’s team doesn’t fall in line with Kelson, this two million euros, the worst outcome, is bound to happen...” Bai Xiaosheng sighed as he turned on his computer.

In that hour, he had also sorted out his thoughts and had virtually completed the ”position paper” he needed to submit to the group, just needing to type it out.

”Merely a thousand words, it’s nothing.” Bai Xiaosheng pressed his fingers, his gaze fixed on the computer screen, his hands on the keyboard. In moments, the clattering of keys rose, almost in one breath.

In ten minutes, the thousand words were written, and Bai Xiaosheng read through it three times without stopping, feeling very satisfied.

After finishing these tasks, Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit tired, stood up, and stretched his back.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng was resting, the door to the office was knocked.

Lin Weiwei entered with the team.

The same five from last time, Bai Xiaosheng’s carefully selected, reliable writers.

It was relying on their writing that several brilliant articles were published last time, forcing Song Changkong to halt Chen Changqing’s activities in the gaming department and leading their department to victory.

Bai Xiaosheng had immense trust in their abilities.

”Ladies and gentlemen of talent, I need you now!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, beckoning everyone over, pointing to his computer screen, ”Here are a thousand words. I’m entrusting them to you—do not exceed this word count. Make it so compelling that after reading it once, people are convinced! Once it’s done, I’ll pay you a handsome fee for the piece!”

A few people laughed and crowded around.

Having handed the task over to the professionals, Bai Xiaosheng fully relaxed, walked out of his office, strolled about, and took a breath of fresh air.

...

Chen Changqing went back and explained the requirements to Yu Qing and Murong Yan, asking them to start working on it while he went off to make a phone call.

He needed to report the situation to Uncle and to Mr. Kevin.

Bai Xiaosheng, this stubborn bastard who wouldn’t be swayed easily, was actually planning to fight a verbal battle with them within the group. However, this time, Song Changkong’s stance was clear, as he chose to stand on the same side as him—an extremely rare occurrence.

Chen Changqing too had a plan; he wanted to join forces with Song Changkong to deal with Bai Xiaosheng...

”That’s the situation,” Chen Changqing said on the phone, providing a description and recounting his private conversation with Bai Xiaosheng.

Without holding anything back, in its entirety.

”Since he refuses to see reason, then no need for pleasantries!” On the other end of the phone, Chen Jiuzheng snorted coldly, ”Song Changkong has clearly indicated his desire to collaborate with you, so join forces with him. The two of you together should be more than enough to deal with someone surnamed Bai!”

”Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking!” Chen Changqing replied.

”Look for an opportunity to have a good talk with Song Changkong...” Chen Jiuzheng gave Chen Changqing some pointers over the phone, to which Chen Changqing repeatedly agreed.

...

Zhongjing, Moon Lake Villa District.

The home of Chen Jiuzheng.

Chen Jiuzheng hung up the phone, tossed it onto the coffee table, picked up his tea cup with an expressionless face, and leisurely sipped his tea.

Mr. Kevin was sitting on the couch, swirling a glass of wine in his hand, admiring its amber hue.

”That Mr. Bai, he really is quite a character,” said Kevin with a smile, as if in admiration.

Chen Jiuzheng had used speakerphone, and Kevin had heard the entire conversation clearly.

”Character? In my eyes, that’s called courting death!” Chen Jiuzheng put down his tea cup and snorted coldly, ”If he can’t be of use to me, the more talented he is, the more I detest him. Such a person is better off scrapped! Don’t you agree, Kevin?”

Kevin didn’t respond, merely taking his time to savor a sip of his wine.

”It’s too early to give up now. I believe he still can be persuaded.” Kevin said with a laugh, ”My people have already located Ron. I’m looking for a chance to have a chat with Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and, incidentally, let Ron witness something interesting. You all got it wrong: whether the Ron Team joins Zhongjing Media isn’t up to your group, but rather it’s up to Ron and his team. If they change their minds halfway, what good is your group’s agreement?”

Chen Jiuzheng was startled, then burst into laughter.

”Interesting, this is interesting. Then I’ll wait and see how you manage to win them over!” Chen Jiuzheng said with a laugh.

At their level, talent was like a gemstone; having it was delighting, without it, well, there were always others.

Nothing was truly indispensable!

”Do you really want to watch this play out?” Kevin said with a smile, ”Your old tastes haven’t changed one bit! My show will take center stage a bit later, but isn’t Zhongjing Media currently putting on a grand show? Bai Xiaosheng alone against two; I am very curious to see how he plans to win!”

”Shall we then wait and see?”

”Wait and see!”
