Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 824: Chapter 824 Who Are You Talking About?

The grand conference room was in session, but the content of the meeting was unknown.

However, on stage sat Xiahou Qi and seven Senior Affairs Officers in a row.

Chen Jiutian knew that three Senior Affairs Officers were away; only these seven at the headquarters were in attendance, making it a full house.

Beneath the stage, there must have been three hundred people including Affairs Officers and their assistants.

Almost all the important figures were present in one way or another.

This was an important meeting!

”Why did I forget to ask Zheng Honghu what meeting this was?” Chen Jiutian couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Of course, what meeting it was didn’t matter. In his view, the content had nothing to do with him.

That’s why he didn’t ask at the time.

At that moment, Chen Jiutian felt an inexplicable urge to know the content of the meeting.

However, this was merely a fleeting thought, and he certainly wouldn’t actually ask.

”Chen Jiutian, you’re here? Do you have something to say?” Xiahou Qi asked from the stage, his face showing no emotion as he stared at him.

”Yes,” Chen Jiutian replied promptly.

After speaking, Chen Jiutian suddenly had a peculiar feeling.

He couldn’t quite pinpoint the oddness but felt a vague and inexplicable unease.

Too nervous?

Chen Jiutian thought to himself. As the head of the Greater China Region, his status was on par with that of the Senior Affairs Officers on stage; he had seen all sorts of challenges over the years and had always stood firm, unmoved by the storms.

And now, to be nervous?!

It seemed incredible to Chen Jiutian.

Yet, he felt that his emotions were not due to nervousness.

What was the cause, then?

He couldn’t think.

Whether it was recent anxiety leading to a scattered mind or lack of energy due to staying up late the night before, both made his brain lethargically slow to react.

And right now, he didn’t have the time to think.

From the moment he came in, Chen Jiutian had locked eyes with Xiahou Qi, not even having the time to notice the looks from others.

But without looking, Chen Jiutian could guess the expressions of the people below—curiosity, astonishment, puzzlement at why he had barged directly into the meeting room!

”It doesn’t matter, your misunderstanding is fine, your suspicions are fine too, I just have to throw out a conspiracy theory about Bai Xiaosheng and everything else will be drawn to that. Whether you doubt or speculate about my actions, in the end, the focus will shift there!” Chen Jiutian thought to himself confidently.

He glanced at Zheng Honghu on the stage, who looked back at him with an encouraging gaze.

We will be successful, our plan will be successful!

Chen Jiutian affirmed his belief.

Once the bow is drawn, there’s no turning back. In fact, from the moment he stepped in, there was only one path left for him to take.

Chen Jiutian was clear about this, so he quickly adjusted his mindset.

”Chen Jiutian, in this Greater China Region, apart from me as the President, it is your level, one below me and above tens of thousands. You’ve interrupted our meeting, so you must have something important to say. Alright, I will give you this opportunity, you may speak now!” Xiahou Qi said.

”Yes,” Chen Jiutian nodded respectfully.

Locking eyes with Xiahou Qi again, Chen Jiutian started to realize something.

Part of the reason he felt strange was the demeanor and manner in which Xiahou Qi spoke.

Normally, even as a regional head, interrupting such an important meeting wouldn’t come without a reprimand.

Moreover, something about Xiahou Qi’s words when he had asked him was off.

”Perhaps Xiahou Qi suspected that I would come to defend myself, which is why he did this!” Chen Jiutian quickly gave himself a reasonable answer.

”It doesn’t matter, as long as you listen to what I’m about to say, you will follow my train of thought, and in front of so many people, even you, the President of the Greater China Region, might not be able to control the situation,” Chen Jiutian murmured to himself.

Then, he cleared his throat, his words clear and his expression urgent, ”Elder Xia, this is the situation! Recently, I received reports from several important company general managers under my jurisdiction, claiming that someone intentionally schemed multiple layouts to extort them, profiting in the process and deceiving the Affairs Department to secure promotions repeatedly!”

As Chen Jiutian spoke, he took out materials from his document bag, holding them in his hands and exclaimed loudly, ”The breadth of involvement, the number of people implicated, and the complexity of the insider dealings are shocking!”

”What’s even more shocking is that the person involved has recently risen straight up in the Affairs Department, which is simply inconceivable!”

”I suspect that there must be a mastermind behind this! That’s why I’ve been holding back, trying every possible means to root out the cancer for the group!”

”In order to collect evidence, I had my brother, who is also the industrial leader of Anjiang Province, Chen Jiuzheng, cooperate with the setup to lure him into the trap!”

”But what I didn’t expect was that the person is exceedingly cunning, and managed to take a step ahead; my brother, Chen Jiuzheng, was instead framed!”

”Therefore, today I took the risk of barging into this major meeting to bring the real culprit to light and to clear Chen Jiuzheng’s name!”

In Chen Jiutian’s voice, there was a hint of excitement.

Whether it was the indignation toward the ”vile person” or the pity for Chen Jiuzheng’s ”wrongful accusation,” Chen Jiutian’s expressions conveyed genuine emotion, a textbook example of acting.

Even professional actors would have to acknowledge his skill!

However, as Chen Jiutian’s passionate words flew across the room, Xiahou Qi and the seven Senior Affairs Officers present, were actually expressionless!

Not even the slightest ripple of emotion!

Chen Jiutian blinked in confusion, then a sense of ill-omen began to rise deep inside him!

How could such a significant matter elicit no response from them, how could they be so numb!

Most importantly, how come none of the three hundred people in the audience cried out or murmured in response.

Only then did Chen Jiutian realize that he had not been paying attention to the reactions of the audience.

Thinking this, he quickly turned to look.

Three hundred people were silent, their expressions strangely looking at him.

In the front row corner, there were even people lying down—sleeping!

Seeing the unusual looks in the eyes of the Affairs Officers and assistants, Chen Jiutian couldn’t help but shiver uncontrollably.

A chilling cold ran from his tailbone up his spine, straight to the back of his head!

He finally realized why he felt so uneasy as soon as he entered.

The atmosphere was off, the reactions were wrong!

And that response did not refer to Xiahou Qi alone, but to everyone present!

Chen Jiutian had a very bad feeling—he sensed that he had fallen into a trap unknowingly.

”I wonder, the person who extorted various companies for profit, deceived the Affairs Department, and even gained promotions that Mr. Chen Jiutian mentioned—who might that be?”

In the silent meeting room, someone finally spoke up.

In the quiet environment, even a soft voice sounded exceptionally clear.

At the sound, Chen Jiutian’s skin instantly prickled.

He hurriedly turned towards the direction of the voice.

In the corner, the person who had been lying down and sleeping finally sat up, stretching lazily in the process.

That unforgettable young face wore a smile brimming with mockery.

Chen Jiutian stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with incredulity as he looked at the person.

Rendered speechless as if seeing a ghost, he could no longer speak.

Bai Xiaosheng—he was supposed to be in Zhongjing!

Why was he here!
