Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 382: 382 Chapter You Don’t Understand a Damn Thing_1

”Representing Zhongjing Media, a subsidiary of the group, we have officially signed a contract with Kelson Corporation. The additional conditions proposed by Kelson Corporation for this signing are zero!”

”The mission has ended successfully, with the highest level of completion, scoring twenty points!”

”The current total score is seventy-five points for the Deputy General Manager level, only twenty-five points away from the General Manager level!”

In Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, a series of prompts made him so happy he couldn’t stop grinning.

All his busy efforts hadn’t been in vain, as he watched his score jump higher and higher. It was truly exhilarating!

Now, just twenty-five points away from the General Manager level, promotion truly seemed just around the corner!

Bai Xiaosheng was in high spirits.

Compared to him, Song Changkong and Chen Changqing were completely thrown into disarray.

The two of them were utterly confused about what had transpired, almost deeming it a supernatural event.

They had thought that the contract was facilitated because Bai Xiaosheng had some connection with Ariel, but after the signing, Ariel and Kevin immediately returned to Europe, as if they had guessed wrong again...

However, in his heart, Chen Changqing felt an inexplicable sense of relief...

After this incident, Song Changkong and Chen Changqing had no choice but to postpone their second-stage plan against Bai Xiaosheng...

For several days in a row, the company was remarkably peaceful.

Bai Xiaosheng, happy to have some downtime, wandered around the two departments he oversaw.

However, beneath the appearance of calm, how could there truly be peace?

Especially since Bai Xiaosheng had already openly clashed with Song Changkong and Chen Changqing.

The reason Song Changkong and Chen Changqing had yet to make a move was that they lacked the right opportunity and conditions.

Moreover, Chen Changqing noticed with dismay that ever since Kevin and Ariel had left, Chen Jiuzheng seemed to have lost his enthusiasm for dealing with Bai Xiaosheng.

This simply wouldn’t do!

Both sides had publicly fallen out, with no room to maneuver. Without Uncle’s support, it would be difficult for them to completely deal with Bai. Were they supposed to make peace with Bai proactively? That would be too shameful!

After waiting for a few days, Chen Changqing could no longer restrain himself and hurried to the Moon Lake villa to have a face-to-face talk with his Uncle.

This was also of great concern to Song Changkong.

Upon visiting again, Chen Changqing found that his Uncle, usually an avid fisherman, was not fishing this time and instead received him in the living room.

After some pleasantries, Chen Changqing couldn’t hold back any longer and broached the subject, ”Uncle, regarding Bai Xiaosheng, what exactly are your thoughts? Dealing with him might be a bit challenging for Song Changkong and me alone. We need your help.”

”Bai Xiaosheng.”

Chen Jiuzheng muttered the name, frowning slightly and nodding his head.

”Changqing, let me tell you about someone,” Chen Jiuzheng said, diverging from the topic at hand and starting another conversation instead.

Chen Changqing couldn’t interrupt and listened patiently.

”You know this person, Kevin from Kelson. I met him when I was studying in England.”

Chen Jiuzheng reflected on the past, ”This person, two years younger than me, had a lot of cunning and was very shrewd. Always thinking three steps ahead when taking one! His judgment was extremely sharp! Let me tell you, in our class at school, there was a classmate from Africa. You know, when people mention Africa, the impression isn’t always good. This classmate was just an ordinary person, very easygoing, and his lifestyle was no different from that of the average person. You know, those with money, like sons of chieftains and whatnot, they flaunted sports cars and beautiful girls at school; you could tell they were wealthy at a glance! While we were busy trying to fit in with those rich second-generation kids, only Kevin kept approaching the African student, even becoming a laughingstock among us in private.”

”But you know what! That African classmate, his family owned a gold mine and an oil field! He was one of the wealthiest tycoons in our class! Just through that connection, Kevin made his first fortune in life! He earned a billion!”

Chen Jiuzheng sighed, ”I had a good relationship with Kevin, but the kid wouldn’t share a dime of his profits with anyone. In the end, he only left me with this piece of advice: ’Distinguish the wealthy by the details’!”

Chen Changqing nodded in admiration.

”Understand?” Chen Jiuzheng asked with a smile.

Chen Changqing nodded.

”Really understand?” Chen Jiuzheng asked again with a laugh.

Chen Changqing paused, blinked, and hesitantly nodded.

Such a simple story, what’s there not to understand...

”You’re telling me that everyone’s success is no fluke.”

”Nonsense!” Chen Jiuzheng’s gaze narrowed slightly, ”What I’m saying is, Kevin, that bastard, always talks in riddles, devouring all the benefits for himself and then leaving me some seemingly profound, nonsensical statement! He never speaks directly!”

Chen Changqing, ...

”The reason I’m telling you this is because Kevin mysteriously signed the contract this time, slipped away slick as an eel, and before he left, he dropped another English phrase for me,” Chen Jiuzheng’s gaze flickered uncertainly, ”’Appearances are deceiving’! Referring to, Bai Xiaosheng!”

”Even though Kevin always speaks cryptically, his words aren’t without foundation! So regarding Bai Xiaosheng, I suddenly felt an uncertainty I couldn’t grasp!”

Chen Jiuzheng’s eyes narrowed as he spoke gravely, ”After thorough investigation, he seems unremarkable, yet he took down Kevin without a trace! Is that simple? Shouldn’t we be a bit more cautious about him?”

A chill settled in Chen Changqing’s heart.

If Bai Xiaosheng really isn’t as simple as he seems, Uncle is being cautious, then I’ll bear the brunt of it and be the unlucky one!

This won’t do!

For a long time, Chen Changqing had held a wary respect for Bai Xiaosheng, but more than that, he wanted to defeat him. Seeing Uncle possibly pulling back, how could he agree!

”Uncle, now that things have come to this! You can’t start having second thoughts!” Chen Changqing spoke bluntly, ”Do you know how Bai Xiaosheng threatened us when he fell out with us?”

Chen Jiuzheng looked at him curiously.

”Bai Xiaosheng said that since he joined the group, he had driven people away, driven people mad, caused job losses, lay-offs, crushed careers, and led to despair and pessimism.”

Chen Changqing, who had a keen memory of this statement, embellished it as he recounted it to Chen Jiuzheng, ”He said he would remember everyone who crossed him and pay them back one by one, including me, including Song Changkong, including you!”

Chen Changqing spoke solemnly, ”Even if we step back ten thousand paces, if Bai Xiaosheng is truly hiding some startling capabilities, shall we just wait for him to come at us, or should we strike first!”

After Chen Changqing’s words, Chen Jiuzheng’s gaze grew dark.

”Bai Xiaosheng really said that, and he wants revenge on me?!” Chen Jiuzheng snorted coldly.

”Exactly, he named you specifically! I was afraid you’d be angry, which is why I didn’t dare tell you!” Chen Changqing said gravely.

Chen Jiuzheng’s face showed a trace of anger as he scoffed.

”Good, good, good, I want to see just what this kid is capable of!”
