Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 921: Chapter 921: Discussing Countermeasures

Minghao was also being spiteful, clamoring for retaliation. When he heard Ji Mingyang say that the young man who had undermined him was named Bai Xiaosheng, he remembered the name.

As soon as he spoke, his father abruptly slapped his hand on the coffee table, causing the teacup on it to jump, the lid askew, which showed how much force he had used.

This sudden action startled both Han Dong and Han Minghao.

”Damn it, are you crazy?!” Han Dong glared at Han Chengren and roared.

Back when Han Dong was young, he also had a fiery temper, constantly using harsh language. Otherwise, how could Han Chengren repeatedly call him ”donkey-raised”? It was clearly ”like father, like son”...

Such habits are hard to change.

Decades of cultivation had elevated Han Dong to a new level, enabling him not to swear at others.

Outside the home, Han Chengren managed to be cautious at all times, but at home, especially in front of his own son, he sometimes couldn’t help himself.

The fright and the curse just now had, in a moment, destroyed decades of Han Dong’s cultivation, and he felt even more inclined to beat Han Chengren.

Han Chengren, a man in his fifties and a corporate head, still feared his father like a tiger and hurriedly explained, ”Dad, it’s not that I’m going crazy. It’s that Bai guy, we cannot provoke him! Calm down, let me explain!”

My goodness, the old man’s hand was already raised.

If he were to be beaten by his father in front of his son, Han Chengren’s face would be utterly lost.

Curious, Han Minghao surreptitiously watched his father, realizing that his usually irascible father had also been shaped through beatings.

It seems the Han family’s way has always been thus, a contradictory mix of indulgence and brutality.

Han Dong glared at Han Chengren and said sternly, ”Speak!”

Not daring to delay, Han Chengren quickly reported everything he had experienced at the municipal office, also letting Han Minghao hear.

He wanted Han Minghao to realize just how powerful that young man, whom he thought despicable, really was!

”What, Mayor Chu invited him to dinner, and another mayor accompanied him!”

”Mayor Chu is eager to talk to him and hasn’t yet given a statement about your proposal?!”

”Because of interacting with him, Mayor Chu felt inspired about developments in Yunhai?!”

Hearing this, Han Dong couldn’t help but be startled and shocked.

Indeed, some news was truly astonishing!

This young man, reportedly about the same age as Han Minghao, possessed such influence.

Who is he, where does he come from, and what kind of power does he have behind him?!

Questions about his identity, origins, and backing flitted through Han Dong’s mind, like the three questions of philosophical inquiry.

As for Han Minghao, he was dumbfounded, silent.

Han Minghao had heard for years how his grandfather boasted about having dined with the mayor, albeit that it was only coincidental workmeal in a bento box.

To know that someone actually could enjoy a meal with the Mayor of Yunhai was astonishing to Han Minghao.

In the years Chu Xingyun had governed Yunhai, whether inspecting or attending events, he indeed had never dined on another’s expense nor invited anyone to dine.

If there were any, they were exceedingly rare.

Bai Xiaosheng had no idea that such an ordinary, home-style meal could be so significant.

”Such a figure can even influence a mayor’s thoughts on city management. Do you dare to retaliate against him? Do you want to bring serious trouble upon our Han Family!” Han Chengren glared as he spoke.

Han Minghao fell silent.

”He’s no ordinary person!” Han Dong sighed. ”Chengren, do you know why I specifically came back today to understand this matter?”

Han Chengren shook his head.

”The Fu Family and the Liu Family also lost face, and even reporters came knocking. Some reporters wanted to find me, but I had already alerted my media friends, asking them not to send anyone over here. In exchange, I gave them some hard news about the business world to temporarily shut those people up.”

”It’s not just the Fu Family and the Liu Family, but also those other beloved children who lost face. Their parents are the heads of big companies in Yunhai, and they were also affected. Imagine this: firstly, their precious sons were bullied, secondly, it gives a bad impression, and thirdly, it could be exploited by competitors.”

”These people were eager for me to step in. On one hand, to explain the situation to the mayor, and on the other hand, many have developed hostility towards that young man surnamed Bai!”

”If you hadn’t spoken to me about this, I might really have made a terrible mistake in my strategy towards Bai Xiaosheng!” Han Dong said with lingering fear.

Han Chengren nodded.

There’s a civil organization within Yunhai enterprises called the Yunhai Enterprise Federation, and Han Dong is the president.

Any problems naturally come to the president to solve.

Once Han Chengren mentioned this, both father and son felt that Bai Xiaosheng should not be messed with easily.

What they didn’t know was that not only should Bai Xiaosheng not be provoked, it was best to even steer clear of him.

Because Bai Xiaosheng was an Affairs Officer of the Affairs Department, and even more formidable than an ordinary Affairs Officer, a New-type Affairs Officer.

The identities of Affairs Officers and even their assistants are classified. Otherwise, if an Affairs Officer was easily recognized during his inspections, then what would be the point of his inspections? Even some regional managers and provincial industry leaders are not aware of this, let alone the far-off Yunhai, where Han Chengren is just a general manager of a subsidiary company.

If Bai Xiaosheng found any issues with Han Chengren, even if the issues were not fatal, the connection between Yunyu Industrial and the Han Family’s family businesses would inevitably be severed.

The impact of this would be terrifying, even deadly!

Han Dong and Han Chengren did not know that they were on the edge of danger.

”What do we do now?” Han Minghao muttered, ”Actually, you always mention Mayor Chu, but I think someone like Mayor Chu wouldn’t favor one side because of personal grievances. So, about the Bai surname, we needn’t be so cautious, right?”

Han Minghao was quite unconvinced, after all, Bai Xiaosheng was about the same age as him. Why should his grandfather and father regard him so highly and warily?

However, what he said also made some sense.

”In that case, Chengren, go find this Bai Xiaosheng tomorrow and probe his background,” Han Dong said. ”I will have a chat with those CEOs and deal with the public opinion crisis together.”

This arrangement made Han Chengren nod in agreement.

However, Han Chengren was a bit puzzled, ”Why wait until tomorrow? We could find Bai Xiaosheng’s address today.”

”It still has to be tomorrow, because Chengyi is coming back tomorrow. I want him to go with you!”

Han Dong said, ”Chengyi isn’t he employed in your corporation’s Greater China Region Affairs Department? Using the name of your corporation’s senior leaders, that young man surnamed Bai, if he really has some significant backing, will also show us some respect!”

Han Chengyi was Han Chengren’s younger brother, though not by blood. Han Dynasty had a tradition of passing the family line through a single son, and since Han Chengren was always unwell from a young age, the fortune teller advised against raising him alone, which is why Han Dong adopted a child.

Han Chengyi also had been a previous leader at Yunyu Industrial, currently serving as an assistant in the Affairs Department.

This time, his return was meant to leverage his reputation, gaining an imposing presence through affiliation.

”Chengyi is coming back? Good, with him along, and the name of the corporation behind us, I feel very confident!”

Han Chengren’s eyes sparkled with brightness.
