Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044: Why is He Afraid of Me?

”Mr. Shen Yu, do you have anything to say to me?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Shen Yu, his tone seemingly casual as he asked.

Mentions of his identity, Zhenbei Group, Greater China Region, Affairs Department, Senior Affairs Officer.

At that moment, fear flashed through Shen Yu’s eyes!

Although it was only a fleeting expression,

but there was no mistake!

Convinced of what he saw, Bai Xiaosheng’s curiosity was piqued.

Why was Shen Yu afraid?

Was it his identity that frightened him?

Bai Xiaosheng had learned from Mou Yutian and others that Shen Yu’s Beiyu Group was a private company, having no monetary relation with Zhenbei Group.

Beiyu Group, established three years ago.

A company only three years old had managed to make a name for itself in such a short time in the real estate sector!

It had to be said, Shen Yu was quite impressive!

Before revealing his identity, Bai Xiaosheng had been eager to talk with him and learn about his legendary success.

It would be good to absorb some experience in success.

But now it seemed that Shen Yu had some other interesting aspects.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shen Yu, his eyes amused yet discerning.

”Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, please wait here while I prepare the contract. We have a template, so you won’t need to wait long!”

Shen Yu had already switched to a smiling demeanor, answering somewhat irrelevantly before hastily leaving.

”Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng”?

This designation was very much in line with the internal naming conventions of the group, or it was by someone extremely familiar with the Affairs Department.

Bai Xiaosheng watched Shen Yu’s retreating figure with a meaningful gaze.

This Shen Yu had a really good psychological quality, swiftly changing his expression, his emotions quickly returned to normal.

Truly not a common person!

If it were someone else, a simple laugh from Shen Yu would have made the other person think they had seen incorrectly and not taken it further.

But Bai Xiaosheng was different.

Over this past year, Bai Xiaosheng had encountered numerous adversaries.

The cunning, the deceitful, those who appeared honest.

These people were adept at changing emotions and disguising, Bai Xiaosheng had dealt with them long-term, honing his abilities with system assistance.

His discernment was beyond ordinary people.

It was not an exaggeration to say that in terms of observational skills, even among the Senior Affairs Officers, he, being the youngest, could be ranked among the top!

And moreover, Bai Xiaosheng trusted his judgment!

This Shen Yu had used the contract as an excuse to escape.

When he returned, his emotions and mindset would probably be adjusted, and he wouldn’t easily show any flaws.

”What is he afraid of?”

Bai Xiaosheng murmured with interest.

At that moment, Lin Weiwei and Chu Yue had come back, bringing tea and fruit for Bai Minghang and Li Qiuyun, the couple, as they chatted.

Bai Xiaosheng walked over.

The two women brought fresh tea and fruit.

Bai Xiaosheng, with a smile, took the items and set them aside.

Seeing Chu Yue gave Bai Xiaosheng a thought.

”Miss Chu, I want to ask, what did your Mr. Shen do before?” Bai Xiaosheng asked casually.

”Mr. Shen, before?” Chu Yue looked puzzled as she glanced at Bai Xiaosheng.

”Before he founded Beiyu Group,” Bai Xiaosheng added.

”Before that...” Chu Yue considered.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei curiously watched Bai Xiaosheng.

Xiaosheng wasn’t someone who took an interest in gossip, yet he suddenly seemed quite interested in that Boss Shen.

As Chu Yue thought, Bai Xiaosheng picked up his red tea, savoring it carefully.

The tea was indeed good.

The hot tea soothed his throat pleasantly.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly wondered if he was overcomplicating things.

Maybe Shen Yu’s fear was of the Group.

Perhaps his company had battled in business wars with a subsidiary of Zhenbei Group and had been frightened.

Bai Xiaosheng thought that if Chu Yue didn’t know ”before,” then perhaps she knew ”after.”

However, if he guessed wrong again,

Bai Xiaosheng decided not to probe further.

He was merely curious and didn’t truly expect to uncover any secrets.

After all, now Shen Yu was operating independently and had no financial ties with his group.

If no information was extracted, then so be it.

Bai Xiaosheng was not prepared to pursue endlessly over just an expression.

”I think I heard an old employee mention!” Chu Yue spoke up, ”Before establishing the company, our boss apparently spent many years at Zhenbei Group. Supposedly, at the Greater China Region Headquarters no less, holding a significant, somewhat unusual position dealing with ’Affairs something.’”

Bai Xiaosheng paused in his tea drinking, surprised, and looked at Chu Yue.

Beside him, Lin Weiwei was also somewhat surprised.

Shen Yu had originally been with the group!

”Is that true, Affairs Officer?” Bai Xiaosheng asked in a deep voice.

Chu Yue was momentarily taken aback, thought about it, and nodded.

”Seems like... yes! Huh, Mr. Bai, how did you know?”

”Coincidentally, we are, in a way, colleagues!” Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes twinkled with a smile as he continued to drink his tea.

”Really, what a coincidence!” Chu Yue was also surprised.

Lin Weiwei, gentle and virtuous, sensed something was amiss from Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction but did not ask, as there were outsiders present.

Bai Xiaosheng calmly sipped his tea, yet in his mind, he said to Red Lotus, ”Red Lotus, can you log into the group’s system and search for information?”

Interest piqued again, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to see why this Affairs Officer Shen Yu had left.

Perhaps, that was the real reason he feared himself—a Senior Affairs Officer!

”Senior Affairs Officer-grade expansion assistant, features an optional function: direct login into the network, view text and image information, and execute direct operations. This function is called ’virtual login’. Do you wish to activate it?” Red Lotus inquired.

’Virtual login’ feature?

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.

Was this the evolved version of his initial system assistant—”search engine”?

Direct login into the network, view text and image information?

Direct? View?

Wait.

Is this something like an AR existence?

AR, Augmented Reality, enhances reality by overlaying real and virtual objects in real-time in the same image or space.

”Indeed, it’s an application of the AR system,” Red Lotus confirmed Bai Xiaosheng’s thought.

”Activate!” Bai Xiaosheng was immediately intrigued; he certainly wanted to experience it.

”Are you sure?” Red Lotus asked.

”Sure,” Bai Xiaosheng mentally responded.

However, after confirming, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt something was amiss.

Usually, when activating system assistance, he never heard Red Lotus so meticulous; it was always directly activated.

Why this time did it include a query?

Could it be...

Bai Xiaosheng had a foreboding feeling.

”’Virtual login’ function activated, requires two points!”

”Host in Zhongjing stopped inappropriate relocation actions of subsidiary companies, ensuring group’s interests, two points added!”

”Confirm assistance activation, points deducted!”

Red Lotus’s voice was clear and unhindered.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s stunned view, a virtual interface appeared that looked quite sci-fi.

Only, this was quite a rip-off!

It actually cost him two points?!

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly felt a sense of frustration and heartache.

Why, after upgrading, did system assistance begin charging?!

No one had ever told him about it!

This was random charging!

”Currently, the host is at zero points at the Senior Affairs Officer level; one hundred points away from the Greater Region President level!”

Red Lotus’s last reminder was like a stabbing afterthought.

The points were deducted, regrets, and fears; it might be too late.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed, raised his hands in the air, and operated in the void.

However, this AR system was quite novel and easy to control; experiencing it was indeed fun.

”Xiaosheng, what are you doing?” Lin Weiwei asked curiously.

Chu Yue also looked curious.

Even his father and mother were watching him strangely.

Calmly, Bai Xiaosheng waved his hands in the air and completed his operation.

”Self-created Tai Chi, to prevent shoulder periarthritis, cervical spondylosis, and Alzheimer’s,” Bai Xiaosheng spouted nonsense.

However, his gaze quickly scrolled through the information displayed after logging into the group system at the level of a Senior Affairs Officer.

That information made his eyes narrow.

After seeing that, Bai Xiaosheng mentally said, ”Take it back, Red Lotus, I’m done.”

The image suddenly disappeared.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, now had a plan in mind.

It turns out this Shen Yu was really not simple!

Just after the inquiry, Bai Xiaosheng saw from a distance.

Shen Yu, with a smile on his face and holding a contract, approached with big strides.
