Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Shocking the Entire Audience_1

The entire first conference room was dead silent!

Over a hundred people, their breathing audible, all staring with wide eyes, dumbstruck and frozen in place.

The turn of events was so sudden, that everyone had yet to catch up, and their brains simply crashed!

After a long while, someone finally lowered their voice, exclaiming in disbelief, ”Did I just hallucinate, or did I hear... Mr. Song is suspended, and Mr. Bai is promoted to be our company’s general manager!”

After speaking, the person couldn’t help but swallow hard.

”I think... I hallucinated too! Must be because I’ve been too busy, too tired lately, I need some good rest! Hallucinating is serious business, especially hallucinating about something like this...” the person who was asked swallowed hard as well.

”I also heard that Mr. Song is suspended!”

”I heard that Mr. Bai is the general manager now!”

”Oh my God, it can’t be a collective hallucination!”

”Mr. Song stepped down, Mr. Bai stepped up, it’s real!”

”Zhongjing Media is about to undergo a big change!”

From the whispered questions of one or two people to the simultaneous outcries of over a hundred, in just a few seconds, the entire first conference room boiled like a pot of water, instantly reaching a boiling point.

Incredible!

Unimaginable!

Illogical!

The crowd didn’t believe it!

Since Wang Xincheng arrived, his attitude toward Bai Xiaosheng had been one of resistance; it even faintly seemed like he was siding with Song Changkong and Chen Changqing.

Yet, in the end, the person he announced as suspended wasn’t Bai Xiaosheng but Song Changkong!

How could this be possible, it made no sense, this...

It had actually happened!

The murmurs of the managers and supervisors grew louder and louder, almost blasting off the ceiling.

In such an undisciplined, unrestrained manner, if it were any other day, Song Changkong would undoubtedly have slammed the table and roared in anger; he might even have tasked the Human Resources Director to dock bonuses or impose fines.

But right now, Song Changkong had no inclination to care about anything going on below the stage!

He stood there in shock for a moment, squeezing out an ugly smile, and frantically said to Wang Xincheng, ”Senior leader, you, you got it wrong! The one in question is Bai Xiaosheng, not me. The group is investigating him, how can he be promoted? Even if someone is to be promoted, why am I the one suspended!”

Song Changkong was confused, to the point of madness!

He didn’t understand why this punishment was being doled out to him!

The one with the problems was Bai Xiaosheng, and the one who should be punished ought to be Bai Xiaosheng!

Even if, by some wild stretch, the plot he hatched with Chen Changqing against Bai Xiaosheng was exposed, and say, Song Changkong had a momentary lapse of judgment and acknowledged it, it still wouldn’t make sense to directly strip him of his general manager position!

On what grounds!

”Song Changkong, I had no choice! Just now, I received a call from Officer Li. He told me himself, there’s no mistake!”

Wang Xincheng whispered, not without sympathy, to the Mr. Song he favored, ”If you have any objections, you can certainly appeal. I will inform them on your behalf, asking the Affairs Officer to expedite the process...”

Wang Xincheng said more, but Song Changkong was no longer listening. He sat down in his seat, stunned as if turned to stone, his eyes glazed over.

The call just now, was it from Officer Li of the Greater China Region Affairs Department?

His suspension was real!

...

Song Changkong’s mind was in a state of confusion; he simply couldn’t comprehend what had happened.

All he knew was that he was finished!

If he could be suspended like this, then the upcoming five-year evaluation was also doomed!

In his daze, Song Changkong saw Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng looked back calmly and indifferently, offering no hint of sympathy.

In Song Changkong’s eyes, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression clearly conveyed a message, ”This is your own doing!”

It was him!

It must have been Bai Xiaosheng’s doing!

Song Changkong felt a chilling terror, a tumult of shock and anger.

Although he did not know how Bai Xiaosheng had done it, he knew that everything must be related to Bai Xiaosheng!

”Why did I provoke him!”

Song Changkong suddenly felt regret, profound regret.

Off to the side.

Chen Changqing was dumbstruck, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a whole duck egg.

He vacantly looked at Song Changkong, then dumbly at Wang Xincheng, then dumbly at Bai Xiaosheng.

He was completely dumbfounded, unable to comprehend...

What the hell just happened!

Actually, it wasn’t only Song Changkong and Chen Changqing who were clueless; even Wang Xincheng himself was bewildered. He looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes betraying a strange expression.

How could it be such a coincidence, just as he was about to deal with this Mr. Bai, the appointment came through...

And it was Affairs Officer Li who personally made the call!

...

Could it be... Bai Xiaosheng’s backer was Officer Li!

Wang Xincheng’s brain went ’boom’, as if the fog had cleared to reveal blue sky, and he felt an epiphany.

Officer Li had asked him to investigate if there was anything amiss with Bai Xiaosheng, but was it really an investigation? Is that what the leader meant!

...

Or did the leader want him to clear Bai Xiaosheng of the ”conspiracy” that framed him!

Was there a ”conspiracy”?

There must be one! Even if there wasn’t, there had to be one now!

The leader personally ordered Mr. Bai’s promotion and commanded Song Changkong to be suspended; isn’t this attitude clear enough!

Wang Xincheng suddenly somewhat understood the leader’s good intentions and felt a surge of excitement.

If a leader wants to promote someone, he will inevitably give them an opportunity to prove themselves...

This is the leader’s trust in me...

My chance might have arrived, and it lies with this very person!

Wang Xincheng had figured it out, had come to a clear understanding.

When he looked at Bai Xiaosheng again, his gaze was practically shining, as he treated Bai Xiaosheng like a priceless treasure, a beloved darling...

This wasn’t just a person; he was his future!

...

Wang Xincheng’s assistant also curiously looked at Bai Xiaosheng, her eyes full of inquiry.

...

Down below, Gao Dazhi, Shi Yu, and all the managers of the two departments were so excited they could barely contain themselves.

Mr. Bai had won! They had won!

On the stage, Lin Weiwei was also shocked, her delicate lips forming an ’O’ shape.

But then, she smiled.

Xiaosheng had become the General Manager!

No matter what had happened, she didn’t know, nor did she care!

All she knew was that her Xiaosheng had become the General Manager of Zhongjing Media!

Song Changkong had been suspended!

I ask you, who can frame him now!

Good deeds reap good rewards, Heaven is just!

In Lin Weiwei’s heart, there was only this thought.

She stood tall, her gaze immeasurably tender as she gazed at Bai Xiaosheng.

...

The entire room was abuzz, yet Bai Xiaosheng remained calm.

This demeanor of his, in the eyes of the observant, sparked another round of speculations and countless conjectures.

In truth, there wasn’t much for Bai Xiaosheng to be excited about; this promotion was one he had orchestrated for himself. What was there to be surprised about...

Seeing that the scene had become somewhat uncontrollable, Bai Xiaosheng felt it was time to take charge.

He surveyed the room, raised his hand, and gently clapped twice, raising his voice to say.

”Quiet, please!”

These words were as if imbued with great magic!

Just a moment ago, the tempest-tossed conference room swiftly fell silent, with an astonishing quickness.

Bai Xiaosheng, not using a microphone, spoke with a voice that wasn’t loud, yet exerted such authority. It wasn’t anything else.

He was now the Zhongjing Media General Manager!

This was the power of his position!

His word, the law!
