Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: Quite the Businessperson

”Xiaosheng, what are you talking about?” Yu Ying looked utterly bewildered, her eyes even brimming with astonishment as she gazed at Bai Xiaosheng.

She seemed not to understand what Bai Xiaosheng had just said.

”Is this amusing to you?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with an indifferent smile.

Yu Ying pouted, seemingly a bit aggrieved, and turned to look at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Both of them were watching her with calm expressions on their faces.

”Weiwei, Brother Lei Ying, has Xiaosheng mistaken me for someone else?” Yu Ying asked, seeking help in a pitiful tone.

”This, is it really that interesting?” Bai Xiaosheng sighed and repeated his question.

Seeing that Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying remained unmoved, standing firm just like Bai Xiaosheng.

Yu Ying suddenly laughed.

”It’s interesting, for sure!”

After saying that, the clueless and foolish look on Yu Ying’s face disappeared entirely.

She twisted her waist seductively, even crossing her legs in an alluring pose.

With just one expression, one gesture, it was as if Yu Ying had become a different person.

At this moment, her demeanor was lazy, her eyes sly, she had leapt from innocence to sultry charm in an instant.

Even though Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were prepared, they couldn’t help but inwardly praise and admire her.

”What a pity, Miss Yu, with such acting skills, you’re buried in the Affairs Department,” Lin Weiwei said wittily, ”If you were an actress, you might become famous.”

”That’s an overstatement, Sister Weiwei.”

Yu Ying smiled at her, then turned to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, how did you figure it out?”

”You should ask, when did I figure it out?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”So, when did you figure it out?”

Yu Ying asked with a radiant smile, playing along quite well.

”Since our first meeting, from the moment I saved you, I felt that you were quite different,” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”Of course, back then it was just a feeling. You could call it a sixth sense.”

In reality, Bai Xiaosheng’s observation of micro expressions, and even his sense of people, had already reached an introductory level, allowing him to perceive the subtle inconsistencies.

”So, at that time, you all used aliases with me?” Yu Ying asked with a teasing smile.

”Pity, that wasn’t very useful, was it! Because for an Intelligence Trafficker like you, a mere alias amounts to nothing!” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Later on, when you came to me for an autograph, your acting had really improved a great deal.”

”Thanks for the compliment.” Yu Ying smiled.

”Too bad my discernment has grown even faster!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.

At first listen, it sounded like self-praise, but it was an absolute truth.

After over a year of refinement, his insight, his eye for detail, was of the highest order even among those experienced Senior Affairs Officers!

To discern whether there was an issue with Yu Ying was naturally not a problem for him.

Furthermore, with a little effort, Bai Xiaosheng could predict Yu Ying’s actual focus and then infer her motives—it was not a difficult task at all.

Of course, if he had not paid sufficient attention or solely relied on the Micro Expression Analysis System to simulate ”inner voices,” it would have been unlikely.

After all, this girl was not to be underestimated!

Hearing what Bai Xiaosheng had said, Yu Ying even smirked.

In her view, Bai Xiaosheng was just bragging.

Yu Ying’s expressions, gestures, and even her speech conveyed that she had no awe or fear of Bai Xiaosheng, the Senior Affairs Officer.

In fact, she held a similar attitude towards everyone else.

Currently, her public identity was merely that of an assistant in the Affairs Department, not even qualified enough to be considered an Affairs Officer, her low and ”special” status making her rarely respectful.

”In fact, regarding your identity, even though it’s secret, the particular Affairs Officers and Senior Affairs Officers still know about it,” Bai Xiaosheng said cheerfully, ”After all, you still have business to do. Right?”

”Since I got so close to Chen Yucheng, I’ve felt that it was only a matter of time before my cover was blown,” Yu Ying followed with a sigh, ”That guy has extensive connections and is ranked among the top five for his uniqueness in the Affairs Department.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded in agreement.

”Moreover, many of his pieces of information came from me—I sold them to him. He’s one of my regular customers!” Yu Ying deliberately glanced around, looking at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying with a sly smile, ”It’s safe to say this here, right? No outsider eavesdropping, or you guys recording it?”

Her words made Lin Weiwei laugh, ”You’re the only outsider here!”

”You didn’t mention it, but now that you have, perhaps we should search you,” Lei Ying said coldly as he stroked his chin, sizing up Yu Ying, ”just in case you’re the one who came to record.”

Lei Ying was only trying to scare her and had no intention of actually doing anything.

”Don’t you dare mess around. I’m a single young lady, you know. I can scream,” Yu Ying said with a fearful expression, even making a show of covering her chest.

Lei Ying couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He certainly didn’t believe that this woman didn’t know he was joking.

She was all fun and games!

Beside them, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but sigh.

”Actually, when you came, you never intended to hide your identity. Whether we saw through you or not, you were going to spill the beans in the end, right?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Yu Ying smiled as she looked at him.

”Yep, Xiaosheng has been promoted to Senior Affairs Officer. How long could I possibly keep my identity secret? Now that you’ve reached your current status, you’re qualified to do business with others. Right now, you’re the man of the hour, and there are many things that require information channels. Don’t you want to buy some information?”

Yu Ying said enthusiastically, ”The price I offer is very fair! Plus, since you saved me, I’ll give you a 5% discount. How about that!”

They offer discounts?

A 5% discount, quite generous indeed!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying suddenly felt a mix of laughter and helplessness.

”Aren’t you afraid I’ll report your identity to Elder Xia, making it impossible for you to stay in the Affairs Department!” Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze turned cold, his voice firm.

”Are you trying to scare me?” Yu Ying smiled radiantly, ”I’m just a small fry who hasn’t done anything wrong. If I’m upright, I’m not afraid of my shadow. Besides, Xiaosheng, could you really bear to do that?”

Bai Xiaosheng pretended to reach for his phone.

”Even if you could bear it, what about the Affairs Officers and Senior Affairs Officers who have done business with you? What would they think? They might wonder if Xiaosheng has taken something from you.”

”Now, when your side is in the midst of troubled times, if you mess with Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s people, do you really want to make more enemies among the other Affairs Officers and Senior Affairs Officers? Fighting on multiple fronts, even with Chen Yucheng’s wide connections and numerous allies, will that be enough?”

”Even if Elder Xia favors you greatly, Xiaosheng, can you really fight against so many people?”

Beneath Yu Ying’s smiling face, her voice was calm, carrying a veiled threat.

Her words caused Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to involuntarily furrow their brows, a chill in their hearts.

”You have quite the gift of gab!” Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed, ”And what clever schemes!”

Such praise made Yu Ying’s smile more complacent.

”I might not be as glamorous as the Affairs Officers and Senior Affairs Officers after all these years in the Affairs Department, but my income is pretty decent. And I’ve never made a loss.” Yu Ying said proudly, then her expression suddenly became a bit resentful upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, ”But I lost big time to you!”

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback and asked with a smile, ”How so?”

”Wasn’t it because of you last time? You used unscrupulous methods to win over Lin Yu, inadvertently setting me up!” Yu Ying gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing slightly, ”I had someone obtain evidence from Li Qiushan, but you had set a trap there. Fine, fine, you almost ruined my credibility and made my clients hold me accountable!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes narrowed, ”Your client is Lin Yu, who wanted you to get physical evidence from the hands of Li Qiushan and the others?”

After saying this, Bai Xiaosheng negated his own words, ”No, it shouldn’t have been him. He wasn’t that proactive then.”

”Was it Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

Yu Ying smirked, her expression saying ”as if I’d tell you.”

”Forget it, with things becoming clearer now, there’s no point in dwelling on past issues,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, unconcerned.

Yu Ying rolled her eyes.

”So now, you’re here to sell information?” Bai Xiaosheng got straight to the point, ”Let’s talk business then!”

He didn’t want to waste words.

”Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, let me make it clear that even though I offered you a 5% discount, my rates are very high!”

Yu Ying smiled, her expression sly and cunning.

”Okay. But first, let’s see if you’re all talk and no show,” Bai Xiaosheng said seriously, then smiled again, repeating a previous question, ”Are you really not afraid Elder Xia will find out?”

Bai Xiaosheng asked again, ”Or do you underestimate Elder Xia, thinking he’s already aware of your existence but is choosing to ignore you for now?”

Yu Ying frowned, looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

The more she looked, the more she disliked him!

”No discount for you!”

...

An hour later.

The door to Bai Xiaosheng’s office opened, and Yu Ying walked out with a naive, sweet smile. She spoke to Lin Weiwei, who saw her out, in an overly sweet tone.

”Thank you, Sister Weiwei!”

”I’ll come by often when I have the time!”
