Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 793: Chapter 793 Why! On what grounds!_1

At the last moment, Bai Xiaosheng appeared. Everyone present simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the thoughts in everyone’s hearts were surprisingly unanimous—

”Finally arrived!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s glance swept over the crowd, exchanging smiles with Feng Li, Lin Ke, Zhao Qianze, and others.

When looking towards Li Haofeng on the podium, Bai Xiaosheng was humble and polite, respectfully nodding in acknowledgment.

”You are Bai Xiaosheng, aren’t you?!” Li Haofeng’s eyes shone brightly, sizing him up, then nodding with a smile, ”Very good!”

This ”very good,” nobody knew whether it was to praise Bai Xiaosheng’s timely arrival or for his humble politeness.

However, it was evident that Haofeng Great Affairs Officer held no displeasure for Bai Xiaosheng’s lateness.

This caused Mu Beichen and others to feel a deep sense of regret.

”I am Haofeng Great Affairs Officer of the Greater China Region Affairs Department, and to you, this is our first encounter. However, when I was still an Affairs Officer, I dealt with the dispute between you and Song Changkong of Zhongjing Media, so we are also old acquaintances,” Li Haofeng said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile.

This mild manner deepened everyone’s impression of the approachable Senior Affairs Officer and made them slightly envious of Bai Xiaosheng for having such an encounter.

”But you are ultimately one of the eliminated!” Mu Beichen thought to himself fiercely.

What he didn’t realize was that this too was a form of jealousy.

Faced with Li Haofeng’s attitude and words, Bai Xiaosheng calmly smiled without seizing the opportunity to climb the relationship or acting overwhelmed by the favor.

In Li Haofeng’s gaze, there was an even greater sense of admiration.

”Please take a seat, we’re about to announce the results.”

”Yes,” Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, striding towards the back row where Lin Ke and others were seated, and Zhao Qianze was also there.

All eyes followed, watching Bai Xiaosheng take his seat.

This eager attention was perhaps greater than even that for Li Haofeng.

”This guy, always with this nonchalant demeanor, so full of himself. We were so worried about him!” Lin Ke couldn’t help but give Bai Xiaosheng a quietly disdainful look, cursing in a lowered voice.

However, her eyes were filled with laughter.

Feng Li pondered silently, her smile serene.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng sit down, Li Haofeng then smiled at everyone, ”Now that everyone is here, I will announce the final assessment results!”

”The following is the list of those eliminated—”

Li Haofeng looked solemn. Everyone couldn’t help but be on tenterhooks.

”Bai Xiaosheng, your name, will appear in this part of the list,” Mu Beichen looked on eagerly, extremely expectant, seemingly more excited than if he had been announced as the first.

Zheng Qinghong beside him was much calmer, but Mu Beichen took no strange notice of this, assuming the guy had some post-stroke side effects, and had become expressionless.

”Wu Suqiu—” Li Haofeng started, pronouncing the first name.

One of those seated dimmed in the eyes, his back suddenly slumping.

The feeling of being eliminated in the final round is indeed very unpleasant.

Mu Beichen glanced at the person, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned with a smile.

He was imagining that person’s performance as that of Bai Xiaosheng’s.

His anticipation grew even more.

”Wang Dongyu, Li Dawen, Zhang Ran—” Li Haofeng read three names in succession.

The three of them looked pained, despairing.

Mu Beichen was, besides them, the most intense in reaction, looking at each named person, then glancing at Bai Xiaosheng each time a name was called.

His anticipation was heated to the extreme!

Contrary to him, Lin Ke, Feng Li, and others looked very tense, fearing to hear Bai Xiaosheng’s name.

Zhao Qianze was worried about herself and also concerned about Bai Xiaosheng, her snowy white teeth biting her lower lip, her pretty face pale.

Bai Xiaosheng was calm, as if he wasn’t listening to the verdict of his fate, or as though he had resigned himself to it.

As Li Haofeng crisply pronounced the last name, he actually paused for a moment.

Everyone hung in suspense, eagerly waiting.

Mu Beichen felt a mix of anxiety and impatience, like he was infested with lice or suffering from hemorrhoids, unable to sit still.

”The last person!”

Li Haofeng’s gaze swept over everyone and rested deeply on Bai Xiaosheng.

”Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng!” Mu Beichen saw this scene, and his eyes suddenly lit up, like a gambler, chanting Bai Xiaosheng’s name in his heart.

”Bai—” Li Haofeng articulated each syllable clearly.

A single word, like the sound of thunder.

Lin Ke, Feng Li, and Zhao Qianze widened their eyes in utter horror, while a surge of ecstasy flooded Mu Beichen’s face.

Among the candidates, there were only two with the surname Bai!

Bai Xiaocheng, Bai Xiaosheng!

There’s no need to mention Bai Xiaocheng, he’s been eliminated, leaving only Bai Xiaosheng.

This ’Bai’, is there any need to consider it? Bai Xiaosheng!

”Baili Yu.” Li Haofeng announced the name.

The entire classroom fell silent in an instant.

”It’s not him!” Mu Beichen exclaimed in disbelief.

Bai Xiaosheng was actually not on the list of those eliminated!

How is this possible, with his performance, he shouldn’t have been able to make the top five!

”Could it be that in the past few days, Bai Xiaosheng landed some astonishing deal that allowed him to enter the top five? Or are the bottom five candidates just too useless!” Mu Beichen instantly regretted, ”If I had known, I should have made sure that Bai Xiaosheng gained nothing in Hedong!”

A snake that isn’t killed will bring calamity! This was the only thought in Mu Beichen’s mind!

Little did he know, who the real serpent was, was still up for debate.

”However, even if Bai Xiaosheng does make the top five, so what! With Zheng Honghu, our ally, as the Senior Affairs Officer, Bai Xiaosheng will at best get an assistant position in the Affairs Department... I’ll see how he dies!” Mu Beichen’s lips curled into a sinister smile that went unnoticed.

”Now, for the top five list! Congratulations to the following five, the third to fifth will become assistants in the Affairs Department!” Li Haofeng said with a smile.

The remaining candidates looked on eagerly, while those who were eliminated stared at them with glinting eyes.

”Fifth place, Wang Wenyu—” Li Haofeng announced.

Everyone clapped in unison to congratulate.

”Fourth place, Zhao Qianze—” Li Haofeng continued.

Applause rose again, and amidst it, Bai Xiaosheng clapped his hands and smiled at Zhao Qianze, saying, ”Congratulations!”

Zhao Qianze’s smile bloomed like flowers, brimming with joy.

Zheng Qinghong’s expression finally changed, revealing a smile.

Mu Beichen was filled with doubt.

Bai Xiaosheng made it into the top five, but could he enter the top three?

”Third place, Zheng Qinghong!”

This announcement stunned Zheng Qinghong. Mu Beichen’s eyes narrowed in disbelief as he looked towards Li Haofeng.

Why was Zheng Qinghong in third place! Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng’s performance actually surpassed his?!

Mu Beichen was in disbelief, and turning to Zheng Qinghong, he found Zheng Qinghong already speechless and stunned.

Something was not quite right!

Mu Beichen’s heart skipped a beat.

”I must let Tian and the others know right away!” Mu Beichen frantically took out his phone to send a message to Chen Jiutian.

The stakes involved were far too serious, enough to shake their alliance with the Zheng family!

He had to notify Chen Jiutian immediately!

Just as he turned on his phone, Mu Beichen heard Li Haofeng’s next sentence.

In that moment, he stood dumbfounded, his phone nearly slipping from his hands.

”Second place, Mu Beichen!” Li Haofeng’s voice boomed like thunder, utterly shocking him.

He was the second?

Then, the first, isn’t it Bai Xiaosheng?!!

Why!

How come!
