Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 409: Chapter 409 He’s Not, I Am!_1

Wang Xincheng, who is he? The predecessor of Zhongjing Media’s General Manager.

During his reign, it was known as the dark era of Zhongjing Media. Everyone was aware of this, but they overlooked another point.

That is—during the dark era of Zhongjing Media, it boasts a high position in performance for five years!

Otherwise, Wang Xincheng could not have possibly clinched a grand slam of exceptional evaluations for five years, under the watch of the Ministry of Affairs, audit teams, and countless prying eyes.

Overbearing arrogance and boundless conceit were simply Wang Xincheng’s attitude towards his subordinates.

Once he took notice of someone worth his consideration, he would never behave like that, and his insight was astounding.

With just one glance, Wang Xincheng determined that something was off between Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Jiuzheng!

Wang Xincheng suddenly stopped in his tracks, his smile vanishing.

Facing Chen Jiuzheng, who approached with a full smile and dared to ”perform” his enthusiasm in such a setting, Wang Xincheng made a calculated decision in just a moment’s time.

Chen Jiuzheng approached with overflowing enthusiasm, only to find that Wang Xincheng’s attitude was somewhat lukewarm, even maintaining a sense of distance.

What’s with old Wang? Fearing a negative impact, avoiding suspicion?

Bullshit!

Chen Jiuzheng didn’t believe that Wang Xincheng would be concerned about these matters when visiting the subsidiary companies.

”So it’s Mr. Chen. Your visit to Zhongjing Media is quite rare,” Wang Xincheng greeted with a faint smile, extending his hand politely.

”Rare? Ha-ha, you got it wrong. Here, you’re the guest!” Chen Jiuzheng enthusiastically shook his hand vigorously, showcasing his warmth.

To Chen Jiuzheng’s surprise, Wang Xincheng withdrew his hand after a brief shake, shyer than a woman.

Chen Jiuzheng was taken aback and then chuckled, turning to another person, ”Where’s Mr. Song? Today I must impose on him for a meal and have a good drink with Secretary Wang!”

Chen Jiuzheng’s visit, far from avoiding suspect, naturally had his own agenda.

After all, the company he supervised and Zhongjing Media both belonged to the same corporate group. Mingling a bit wasn’t an issue.

In the past, not mingling, Chen Jiuzheng stood on his dignity and also felt it was meaningless to interact. But after devising strategies for Chen Changqing, he suddenly had a new idea!

Chen Jiuzheng’s visit, under the guise of meeting Wang Xincheng, was also to show Song Changkong that old Wang was an acquaintance of his, and that he, Chen Jiuzheng, had an even larger network within the group to bolster Song Changkong’s confidence in collaborating with him.

Chen Jiuzheng was increasingly convinced that promoting Song Changkong in exchange for old Song’s support of Chen Changqing was a profitable deal!

This was also Chen Jiuzheng’s purpose for coming here!

There was a reason Chen Jiuzheng had come openly. The audit team was lurking in the shadows, beyond his defense, so it was better to approach them openly, dignified and straightforward.

While Chen Jiuzheng was making a fuss, he didn’t see Song Changkong, but he did see a face that left a deep impression on him.

Bai Xiaosheng!

Chen Jiuzheng’s eyes narrowed.

What, he’s still here?

”Mr. Chen, stop looking,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, watching him, ”Mr. Song just left, and moreover, seeking him out is pointless!”

”Why?” Chen Jiuzheng frowned.

”He is no longer the General Manager of Zhongjing Media,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Song Changkong is no longer the General Manager of Zhongjing Media?

Chen Jiuzheng was stunned and couldn’t help laughing.

What a joke!

Just an hour ago, when Chen Changqing messaged him, Song Changkong was greeting Wang Xincheng alongside him. And now he was no longer the General Manager? Who was he kidding?

”Bai Xiaosheng, I know you are full of lies, very cunning!” Chen Jiuzheng snorted.

He had too much experience with this fact!

Bai Xiaosheng stuck to his guns, slicker than a monkey.

”Wang, you must be careful with this Bai Xiaosheng. He never says anything reliable. I know you’re here to investigate him. You have to be on guard not to get entangled in his web. You should listen more to Song Changkong and Mr. Changqing, and waste less time on his nonsense!” Chen Jiuzheng kindly warned Wang Xincheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled but did not interrupt.

Wang Xincheng’s brow furrowed slightly.

Chen Changqing, standing by, looked increasingly distressed. He repeatedly gave Chen Jiuzheng meaningful looks and even coughed softly.

Regrettably, Chen Jiuzheng completely ignored him.

”Mr. Chen, mind your words and actions!” Wang Xincheng gave Bai Xiaosheng a glance and spoke with a touch of severity.

Only then did Chen Jiuzheng notice the odd atmosphere.

He looked suspiciously at Wang Xincheng, then at Chen Changqing, who was making faces beside him.

”What’s going on, Changqing?” Chen Jiuzheng asked.

Chen Changqing would have liked to answer, but as soon as he met Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze, he immediately lowered his head, his eyes filled with panic.

He was scared.

The day’s unexpected turn of events had left Chen Changqing with a chilling sensation.

Even though he came from a great family and had an extraordinary power backing him, without his elders’ promises, he truly did not dare to confront Bai Xiaosheng head-on.

Even in Chen Jiuzheng’s presence!

Hadn’t he noticed Wang Xincheng’s strange attitude? It was clearly biased in favor of someone with the surname Bai!

”I’ve already told you, Mr. Chen.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed. ”Why could you not trust me just once? Song Changkong has already left. If you want to find him, you’ll probably have to leave too. Furthermore, he is no longer the general manager of Zhongjing Media.”

”If he’s not the general manager, could it possibly be you?” Chen Jiuzheng scoffed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jiuzheng felt an eerie silence fall over the room; everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

Chen Jiuzheng was baffled.

”You’re right, I am,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile. ”Mr. Chen is indeed extremely perceptive, guessing correctly on the first try.”

Bai Xiaosheng sounded as though he was praising a child...

Chen Jiuzheng was dumbfounded, staring at Bai Xiaosheng with wide eyes.

Disbelief written all over his face!

”Just before you came in, Mr. Song had been suspended by Secretary Wang. Bai Xiaosheng... Mr. Bai is now the general manager of Zhongjing Media!” Chen Changqing awkwardly explained to his uncle. ”You left in such a hurry you didn’t hear me out...”

Chen Jiuzheng stood there, dumbstruck, still in disbelief.

Song Changkong really stepped down, and Bai Xiaosheng took over?

But... why!

Chen Jiuzheng felt as if his brain couldn’t quite catch up. He opened his mouth, then opened it again, like someone with pre-senile dementia, unable to utter a single word.

It was Song Changkong who set up the trap, who had the situation well in control, so how could the outcome be this!

”Mr. Chen, you’re welcome to stay for lunch. We know each other, and it’s not often you come to visit. I’ll speak to Mr. Bai, and of course, there should be no problem. However... you really need to watch your language. If you continue to be rude to Mr. Bai, then please excuse me if I don’t accompany you!” Wang Xincheng huffed.

Chen Jiuzheng looked at him blankly, mouth agape, silent.

Bai Xiaosheng turned to Wang Xincheng.

That stance was for his own benefit, so he had to respond accordingly.

”I naturally have to give face to Secretary Wang,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled. ”The food at Zhongjing Wanhe Building is not bad; I believe everything there is almost ready. Secretary Wang, shall we go?”

”Okay, okay, ha-ha,” Wang Xincheng responded with a warm smile.

”Mr. Chen, why don’t you join us?” Bai Xiaosheng invited Chen Jiuzheng without much sincerity, then glanced at Chen Changqing, ”Mr. Changqing, please have everyone disperse.”

Chen Changqing was taken aback, his expression complex, but eventually nodded in agreement.

”Yes!”
