Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 818: Chapter 818: At All Costs

A perfectly good hearing, in the end, had turned into a debating arena between Bai Xiaosheng and Zheng Honghu.

A New-type Affairs Officer, a Senior Affairs Officer. One arguing, the other questioning.

They exchanged rapid-fire arguments, their words sharp as swords.

Bai Xiaosheng was incisive, Zheng Honghu unabashedly stood his ground.

The other Senior Affairs Officers either frowned or pondered deeply.

However, including Li Haofeng, no one else interjected any longer; they all quietly watched and listened.

This debate unexpectedly educated the audience a great deal about the rights and responsibilities of a New-type Affairs Officer, deepening everyone’s impression.

Many people whispered among themselves in low voices.

”So the New-type Affairs Officer actually has this power!”

”Yes, this right was originally only held by Senior Affairs Officers!”

”That’s nothing, listen to this—this point is even more hardcore!”

”Exactly, with this point, we Affairs Officers can’t compare with them at all!”

”The New-type Affairs Officer also traded long-term stability for a significant amount of authority!”

Within those murmurs of amazement, there were also mixed opinions about Bai Xiaosheng.

More than eighty percent of the comments, though restrained, still unanimously gave Bai Xiaosheng two nicknames—”Madman” and ”Lunatic”!

After today, Bai Xiaosheng was destined to become notorious within the Affairs Department.

Especially since he dared to confront a Senior Affairs Officer right in front of the President of the Greater China Region.

In the entire Affairs Department, who else could?

Everyone secretly took note of that young face.

”Bai Xiaosheng, this man is fearless, with a sharp tongue; he doesn’t spare anyone when he’s right! From now on, it’s best not to provoke him lightly! This man is a madman!” Many silently warned themselves.

Park Benxi quietly turned on his phone and secretly recorded the most intense moment of the argument to show Chen Jiutian.

”Enough, no more talking!”

Finally, Xiahou Qi spoke up, putting an end to the half-hour-long ”farce.”

Only then did Bai Xiaosheng and Zheng Honghu stop.

”What you both said makes a lot of sense,” Xiahou Qi pronounced loudly.

It seemed he was trying to smooth things over, but Xiahou Qi was never one to smooth things over, so many listened intently to what he would say next.

”Bai Xiaosheng, you will take the lead on this matter. I authorize you to use more than twenty assistant officers to help! The Affairs Department’s personnel database has information on each assistant officer, easily accessible, and you can pick those who specialize in the fields you need,” Xiahou Qi declared.

The ability to freely select staff from the entire Affairs Department, more than twenty people—this too was a privilege reserved for Senior Affairs Officers!

Xiahou Qi was clearly supporting Bai Xiaosheng!

Many were secretly taken aback.

Zheng Honghu’s expression turned somewhat ugly.

”This Bai fellow is a newly appointed New-type Affairs Officer, and the New-type Affairs Officer was the old man’s creation, how could he not support him?”

”Zheng Honghu has been knocked around a bit lately. This time... perhaps the old man did it on purpose!”

Park Benxi noted this, thinking to himself, ”But Zheng Honghu’s look, unwilling! Angry at this Mr. Bai! With anger, it will be easier to handle!”

As Park Benxi was pondering, he heard Xiahou Qi say, ”This matter is settled then, meeting adjourned!”

The hearing finally came to an end.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly left; he still had many tasks to handle.

Park Benxi also left with the first wave of the crowd; he needed to inform Chen Jiutian of everything as soon as possible!

At that moment, Chen Jiutian was in Linshen, his ”real home” was here.

When Park Benxi’s call came in, Chen Jiutian was waiting, so he picked up immediately.

”The hearing’s over? How did it go?” Chen Jiutian asked urgently.

Hearings weren’t conducted without cause; once initiated, they signified that the office of the President for the Greater China Region acknowledged and valued the evidence.

Chen Jiutian was eager to know how severe the situation had become.

Chen Jiuzheng’s side might have to forsake a large number of people and interests, and thinking about that made Chen Jiutian’s heart ache uncontrollably.

”Things don’t look good, Mr. Chen!” Park Benxi’s voice was anxious, ”During the hearing, Bai Xiaosheng presented a great deal of evidence, Mr. Jiuzheng’s position might be in danger! Even, there is a risk of dismissal!”

”That serious!” Chen Jiutian blurted out.

It was worse than he had anticipated!

”Not only that, Mr. Bai also publicly claimed that he has some evidence against you...” Park Benxi added.

”He said that!” Chen Jiutian’s voice tightened.

In such a setting, one couldn’t afford to speak recklessly!

Bai Xiaosheng must indeed have some evidence, and it was not a small threat!

Chen Jiutian suddenly felt a wave of heat.

”About those evidences against you, he didn’t present them... or perhaps, they’ve already been handed over to the president’s office.” Park Benxi said.

Chen Jiutian took a heavy breath.

Chen Jiuzheng was finished, and although he was pained, he needed to prioritize his own safety first. If he too were implicated, Chen Jiuzheng would really be in danger.

Mr. Bai, you calamity, must not be left unchecked for even a moment!

Chen Jiutian grimly resolved, then asked, ”Has the investigation on Jiuzheng’s side started?”

”Yes, Mr. Bai is fully in charge! I suggested on the spot that I participate in the investigation with him, but was denied!” Park Benxi said somberly.

Even so, Park Benxi felt incredibly relieved inside.

His professional instincts warned him that this was a dangerous whirlpool; getting involved could be extremely perilous!

Chen Jiutian remained silent.

Park Benxi continued, ”Mr. Bai is very arrogant! Zheng Honghu stood up for me and gave him a good scolding right there!”

”In front of Xiahou Qi?!” Chen Jiutian couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

”Not just in front of Xiahou Qi. There were also five other Senior Affairs Officers, several dozen Affairs Officers, and over a hundred affairs assistants!” Park Benxi said, ”I’ll send you a video later! Zheng Honghu was almost driven mad by it. This time, he went all out to help me... to help us! Unfortunately, in the end, Xiahou Qi still adopted Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestions.”

Hearing about Zheng Honghu’s performance eased Chen Jiutian’s feelings somewhat.

”Actually, I made this call to give you a heads-up,” Park Benxi continued, ”First, Mr. Bai is too dangerous and must be dealt with as soon as possible. Second, Mr. Zheng Honghu is a very reliable ally! Third, please prioritize the overall situation; when necessary... drastic measures must be taken!”

Park Benxi’s words left Chen Jiutian in silence.

With Chen Jiuzheng’s situation as it was, facing investigation by the affairs department, they must not show any resistance nor attempt any hasty fixes, otherwise the situation could worsen further.

As for Bai Xiaosheng...

Chen Jiutian’s mind was in chaos, he couldn’t help feeling irritated.

”Alright, I understand! Thanks, we’ll talk later!”

Chen Jiutian hurriedly ended the call and slowly sat down on the chair beside him.

After a while, Chen Jiutian seemed to have made a decision, his eyes flashing coldly, ”To turn the tables, we need to counteract Mr. Bai’s influence! If there’s an issue with the investigator, the affairs department must conduct a self-review first, which will buy us some time!”

Chen Jiutian abruptly stood up and grabbed his phone.

”This time, I need to tell Zheng Honghu to implement that short-term plan!”

”At all costs, take down Bai Xiaosheng!” Chen Jiutian roared.
