Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 871: Chapter 871 I Want to Snatch This Order

Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions hailed a taxi and left. In the car, Lin Weiwei said, ”That person just now was truly outspoken. Such a person would probably suffer in the workplace!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled upon hearing this.

”Weiwei, do you think humans are simple creatures?”

”Huh?” Lin Weiwei was startled and muttered, ”Some people have said that humans are advanced animals.”

While speaking, Lin Weiwei had an idea and said, ”Are you trying to say that the human heart is complex, and what he lets you see is only what you think you see?”

”It’s not as dramatic as you say. What you’re talking about sounds a bit like a conspiracy theory,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile and a distant look, ”However, he isn’t someone who can’t adapt, who’s straightforward to a fault.”

”Later on, we both praised each other. A truly outspoken and naive person wouldn’t change their stance so quickly.”

”Plus, I could see from his eyes—he was very confident! If we did things his way, he could come up with a hundred methods to save that person from trouble and achieve his goal. And I, too, have many ways to achieve my goal in my own manner.”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke as though he held Lin Yu in high regard.

This was the first time he had ever thought so highly of a peer on his journey so far.

Lin Weiwei was somewhat skeptical and muttered, ”You two are both so impressive it’s unbelievable, then why didn’t you guys continue the conversation at that time?”

Bai Xiaosheng gave a wry smile, ”That wasn’t our candidate for giving advice. He was already down for the count. Arguing would have been pointless!”

”Even if that person wasn’t drunk, us two self-proclaimed smart people probably couldn’t have helped him,” Bai Xiaosheng sighed. ”Even the best plan and strategy need to be executed well by someone. That drunkard couldn’t do it!”

”That person, from the way he drowned his sorrows in alcohol, vented his grievances to strangers while drunk, yet still dared not curse his boss and even didn’t dare to mention names, it’s clear—he’s been repressed for too long, and his fear of his boss is deeply ingrained. Even drunk, his subconscious was still filled with fear. How could such a person possibly carry out any plan of retaliation?” Bai Xiaosheng shook his head.

Lin Weiwei seemed to realize something and then nodded, ”So from what you’re saying, Xiaosheng, your method would have been more suitable for that person!”

”Let it be, it’s pointless to talk about it now.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said no more.

Quite coincidentally.

At that very moment, Shen Peishen was also discussing the same topic with Lin Yu.

Shen Peishen’s views were in agreement with Bai Xiaosheng’s.

”Lin Yu, you overlooked something. No matter how good the plan, what’s crucial is the executor’s ability to carry it out. I know you have many ways to help that drunkard protect himself and even blow the whistle, and you’ve even taken the timing into consideration. However, you missed one thing— that drunkard could never fully implement what you envisioned. It would be difficult to even get thirty percent done,” Shen Peishen lamented. ”In this regard, you are indeed not as good as that young man. He was calculating, knew the right timing, and more importantly, he knew how to move people’s hearts!”

Lin Yu nodded.

Despite nodding, there was a flicker of unwillingness in his eyes.

Hearing his teacher say he was inferior, he felt a sense of defiance.

Shen Peishen saw it in a glance, smiled, and said, ”You know about Jing Ke’s assassination attempt on the King of Qin, right? During the Warring States period, Jing Ke, armed with the map of Yan and the head of Fan Yuqi, along with Qin Wuyang, went to Qin to assassinate King Ying Zheng. Qin Wuyang is recorded in ’The Biographies of the Assassin-Retainers’ of the Historical Records as ’A warrior from Yan named Qin Wuyang, who at thirteen, killed a man, and none dared to cross him.’ But what happened when he saw King Ying Zheng? He trembled with fear, which made King Ying Zheng suspicious, leading to the order that only Jing Ke should come forward to present the map. One could say the assassination’s failure was tied to him.”

”A good plan improves the result,” Shen Peishen chuckled. ”The right plan allows the executor to achieve their maximum potential and reach a satisfactory outcome.”

”The difference between you and that young man is precisely the difference between a ’good plan’ and the ’right plan’.”

After Shen Peishen’s words, Lin Yu nodded, ”I’ve learned my lesson, teacher!”

While the mentor and student were talking, the assistants who had taken the drunk to the hotel hurried back.

”Zhang, what took you so long?” Lin Yu couldn’t help but ask.

The assistant called Zhang was Shen Peishen’s assistant, Zhang Yu.

”I helped get the person settled into a room.” Zhang Yu replied, then added, ”Also, we found out some news!”

”Oh?”

Such words from Zhang Yu surprised Lin Yu.

Zhang Yu wouldn’t delay without good reason.

”That drunkard is a vice president of Yunfeng Business Management! Yunfeng is a subsidiary of the group and is very powerful locally,” Zhang Yu said.

Lin Yu was somewhat startled and couldn’t help but exchange a glance with Shen Peishen beside him.

”After knowing his identity, his drunken words concerned me, so I made a call to headquarters to inquire,” he said.

Zhang Yu, being an assistant to Shen Peishen, was highly shrewd and perceptive, always investigating issues thoroughly at first suspicion.

”Go on,” Shen Peishen said.

”The news from headquarters is that Officer Lin Ke’s assistant has uncovered a problem at Yunfeng Business Management, an issue with the accounts. It seems someone will come to investigate in the next two days,” Zhang Yu said, ”Using your authority, I acquired the report of the problem that was submitted at the time. Have a look!”

Zhang Yu handed over the phone displaying the problem report submitted to headquarters by Lin Ke’s assistant.

The problems were clearly laid out.

However, there was no evidence.

”Also, I asked Officer Lin Ke’s side about it, and it appears there are problems with the evidence and materials they’ve collected, which are still being sorted out. It will take another two days,” Zhang Yu continued.

Now it was clear.

Lin Yu nodded.

Shen Peishen laughed, ”This really is a serendipitous opportunity. But it seems there’s no need for us to worry. Officer Lin Ke is still reliable in handling matters.”

”Yes,” Lin Yu nodded as well. He had a lot of respect for this young lady from his own family.

”Oh, right, there’s more,” Zhang Yu went on, ”We also learned from Officer Lin Ke that she has entrusted someone else to take over. This person, I believe, will interest both of you.”

”Who is it?” Shen Peishen asked casually.

Officer Bai Xiaosheng!” Zhang Yu said.

”Bai Xiaosheng?!” Both Shen Peishen and Lin Yu were taken aback, somewhat surprised.

Lin Yu had been discussing this person over dinner and wanted to meet him. He hadn’t expected the opportunity to arise so soon!

A light of excitement and a fighting spirit seemed to radiate from Lin Yu’s eyes.

Have you asked Officer Lin Ke if all the materials are in order, what are the chances of making the other party confess?” Lin Yu asked.

”Not high, forty percent. Officer Lin Ke said that the rest of the issues need to be tackled by Officer Bai Xiaosheng himself,” Zhang Yu replied.

Lin Yu clenched his fists in excitement and turned to Shen Peishen, ”It seems that that drunken vice president misspoke! The people coming to investigate—Officer Bai Xiaosheng and his team—won’t be making a move until two days later.”

”Teacher, this time, I’d like to compete with him!” Lin Yu said excitedly and earnestly. ”I want to take this case!”

Shen Peishen looked at his student without surprise and smiled, ”Are you serious?”

Lin Yu nodded.

”Then have some fun, consider it a sparring match between you young people!”
