Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1046 Chen Yucheng

”Elder Xia, tell me, what’s going on exactly?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

He was quite interested.

Elder Xia had personally made the call to assign the task, and had even requested him, a Senior Affairs Officer, to take action.

It must be a matter of great importance!

Xiahou Qi got straight to the point on the phone, ”Xiaosheng, have you ever heard of a person named Chen Yucheng?”

”Chen Yucheng?” Bai Xiaosheng muttered the name.

He really had heard of it!

But that was all, merely heard, and he had even forgotten who had mentioned it.

”I’ve only heard the name, nothing more,” Bai Xiaosheng truthfully replied.

”Chen Yucheng is an Affairs Officer, who is currently facing multiple accusations,” Xiahou Qi didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly, ”I want you to conduct the final verification of those allegations against him!”

Xiahou Qi’s words took Bai Xiaosheng by surprise.

Just... for this?

Just now, he had told Lin Weiwei that dealing with an Affairs Officer’s issue involved a series of procedures and was not simple.

But to mobilize a Senior Affairs Officer for an Affairs Officer’s case, was that not making a mountain out of a molehill?

”I can guess your confusion,” Xiahou Qi spoke on the phone, ”Ordinary Affairs Officers wouldn’t require such measures. But Chen Yucheng is different!”

”Let me put it this way, if you hadn’t come along, as a New-type Affairs Officer, I might have let him handle it!”

”A couple of years ago, everyone was discussing whether Chen Yucheng or Lin Yu would become the next Candidate Great Affairs Officer!”

”With that said, you should have some idea about him now!”

There was one!

This was a strong contender!

Another question rose in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, ”So this time...”

”This time, when you and Lin Yu were competing for Candidate Great Affairs Officer, why didn’t he show up? Is that what you wanted to ask?” Xiahou Qi said.

”Exactly.”

”That’s because—he gave it up.”

”Not because he admitted defeat or was afraid, for the Chen Yucheng of the past was a fearless and daring individual!”

”And this time, he was involved in an investigation against two regional industry heads and couldn’t extricate himself!”

”So, he gave it up!”

Bai Xiaosheng was stunned. Such people existed?

To forego promotion for the sake of one’s work?

Even a workaholic wouldn’t go that far!

That was a little too selfless.

”Incredible, isn’t it? He’s just like that, astonishing!” Xiahou Qi also sighed with emotion, ”That’s why I said, he’s a special case!”

”Those whom he has firmly bitten have a hard time getting away, so Chen Yucheng has an unflattering nickname—’Hyena.’”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile.

He was called a devil himself.

”Um, now that you mention it, I am quite eager to meet this person,” Bai Xiaosheng spoke frankly.

”Now, an opportunity has come!” Xiahou Qi’s voice was grave on the phone.

”This time, one of the regional industry heads under investigation claims that Chen Yucheng demanded bribes! When he didn’t comply, Chen Yucheng wanted to bite him to death! He also requested headquarters to get involved in the investigation!”

”As the controversy escalated, those on duty who had been troubled by Chen Yucheng also came out, accusing him of overreaching, entrapment, and bribery!”

”What’s more absurd is that some who had been investigated and left the headquarters, upon hearing the news, also denounced him through various channels.”

”In short, these days Chen Yucheng has become the target of public criticism, facing more than a dozen internal and external accusations!”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but interject while Xiahou Qi paused, ”This sounds a bit like a collective conspiracy.”

There was a light sigh from the other end of the phone.

”If it were merely a simple entrapment, that would be one thing.”

”The key point is, they have produced very strong evidence, which I cannot help but believe!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes narrowed.

This was what he feared the most!

If someone just wanted to slander Chen Yucheng deliberately, the problem would be relatively simple.

But they had even come up with evidence...

This was no mere smear campaign organized on the fly.

There was premeditation, and a conspiracy.

The instigators must have thought things through thoroughly, not acting on a whim!

Moreover, what’s fatal is that Chen Yucheng holds a special status as an Affairs Officer.

Under ”irrefutable evidence,” there’s even less room for delay.

One could imagine that Elder Xia was likely in quite a quandary!

On one hand, he trusted the once-reliable Chen Yucheng, yet faced with the evidence, he had no choice but to believe it.

”Regarding those pieces of evidence, I’ve had them turned into an electronic version and sent to your email. Check your inbox,” Mr. Xiahou Qi’s voice carried a hint of gravity, ”It does feel somewhat like cast-iron proof.”

Bai Xiaosheng asked calmly, ”Do you believe it, then?”

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Xiahou Qi spoke solemnly, ”Sheng, although I am the CEO of the Greater China Region and seem to have absolute authority and say.”

”But in such matters, it’s genuinely difficult to make conclusions based on personal judgment.”

”Moreover, I cannot claim that Chen Yucheng has always remained unchanged, steadfast in his original intentions, suggesting that Chen Yucheng has no issues at all!”

”I hope not to wrong a good person, nor to let a bad person slip away!”

With that said, Mr. Xiahou Qi’s voice became heavier.

”Furthermore, regardless of Chen Yucheng’s issues, those rabble-rousers behind the scenes are also what I’m concerned about! I might ignore their forming cliques or their gathering together for warmth, but if their voices can influence the character of a high-level executive, even affecting their future with the company, that would be truly terrifying!”

”I hope you, can give me a satisfactory answer!”

Bai Xiaosheng listened quietly until Mr. Xiahou Qi had finished speaking before he said, ”I’ll handle this matter.”

”Mm!” Mr. Xiahou Qi uttered a single sound, exuding immense trust.

Bai Xiaosheng was the most neutral and therefore the most suitable candidate.

Zheng Honghu and Li Haofeng, although equally trustworthy, would not entirely convince everyone if they took action, for it would seem biased.

After hanging up the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment before asking Lin Weiwei beside him, ”Where is Lei Ying meeting up with us?”

”Tomorrow, the original plan was in the capital of Shangyun Province,” Lin Weiwei replied.

”Notify Lei Ying, let’s change the location. Let’s go to Tianqiu City, Yandong Province!” Bai Xiaosheng said gravely.

A serious expression crossed his face.

Perhaps this time, as the newly appointed Senior Affairs Officer, he would have to confront an unknown group and arm-wrestle with a bunch of people!

”It can’t be ruled out that Chen Yucheng may indeed have problems. After all, human hearts are unfathomable!”

”However, listening to Elder Xia’s words, it seems his trust in this Chen Yucheng prevails.”

”If Chen Yucheng truly is someone devoted to the corporation, I will certainly help him through the crisis!”

Bai Xiaosheng set the basic tone in his mind.

”Xiaosheng, what on earth has happened that Elder Xia wants us to do, and why go to Yandong Province?” Lin Weiwei, having sent a message to Lei Ying, curiously asked.

”I’ll explain it to you slowly.”

Bai Xiaosheng took a stroll around the community with Lin Weiwei, sharing the tasks Elder Xia had entrusted to him.

”Usually, when there’s a problem, wouldn’t they handle it at headquarters? But this time they are sending someone from headquarters to deal with it, and it’s you, the Senior Affairs Officer,” Lin Weiwei said in surprise.

”This time it involves two provincial industry heads, responsible for adjacent regions.”

”Their affairs are busy, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to abruptly pull them both from their positions. Although there are backup candidates, headquarters isn’t short on them, it takes time to get familiar with the work. So those two provincial industry heads are being investigated while in office. Chen Yucheng went there as a matter of convenience for them.”

”Of course, before he left, he didn’t report to headquarters. Otherwise, it would never happen that an Affairs Officer would investigate two provincial industry heads—it’s too outrageous. After he went there, the lawsuit came to light.”

”It’s problematic for those two to leave their posts temporarily, and it’s odd for Chen Yucheng to return to headquarters for the investigation.”

Bai Xiaosheng sighed.

”That’s why I, as the Senior Affairs Officer, must also accommodate them.”

Lin Weiwei nodded, ”Should I book the tickets now?”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded in agreement.

The two talked for a while before heading back home.

That night, Bai Xiaosheng said farewell to his parents.

The night passed without incident.

The next morning, Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei enjoyed a hearty breakfast before setting off for the Zhongjing high-speed rail station.

The train from Zhongjing to Tianqiu in Yandong was not direct.

However, coincidentally, the starting station for this train was Linshen.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei were in the business class section, arranged in rows of three.

Their seats in the row were not next to each other.

They were separated by one person.

At the sight of that person, Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze sharpened.

His attention was captured by this individual in an instant!
