Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1141: Chapter 1133: Agree to Cooperate

”Mister Wang was startled by Bai Xiaosheng’s words. ’You said Mr. Xiahou Qi promised me that the group would no longer pursue my issues and that Shen Peisheng could not touch me.’”

Although there is only one rank between a Grand Affairs Officer and the CEO of the Greater China Region, the actual difference between them is immense.

It must be known that within the Greater China Region, all regional heads and Grand Affairs Officers must obey the orders of the CEO of the Greater China Region, under his jurisdiction, and are appointed or dismissed by him.

Even Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng, who holds so many human and material resources, does not dare to openly confront the CEO of the Greater China Region.

Of course, without solid evidence, the CEO of the Greater China Region would not easily take action against a Grand Affairs Officer or a regional head. Removing someone is easy, but maintaining stability is hard as it could cause severe cascading effects.

It’s not that he can’t make a move, but rather, he is reluctant to do so.

However, an exception includes Shen Peisheng, a Grand Affairs Officer whose experience matches that of Xiahou Qi and has supporters throughout the Greater China Region and even people at the headquarters of the Zhenbei Group.

He really has become too influential to control.

Nonetheless, when comparing the two, Wang Ziyu felt that Xiahou Qi was more formidable.

After all, if Xiahou Qi decided to take action against him, even Shen Peisheng wouldn’t be able to protect him.

On the contrary, if Shen Peisheng wanted to take action against him, and Xiahou Qi stepped in to protect him...

Wang Ziyu believed more strongly that Xiahou Qi could ensure his safety.

”I can call Elder Xia and have him promise you personally,” Bai Xiaosheng said to Wang Ziyu with a smile.

Wang Ziyu was genuinely tempted but still cautious, ”I want a video call!”

He needed to confirm for himself that it was actually Xiahou Qi.

”No problem,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

He had already notified Elder Xia, who was available during this period to assure Wang Ziyu, and any form of communication was possible.

Seeing how readily Bai Xiaosheng agreed, Wang Ziyu believed him a bit more, but then he thought to himself, ”Even Xiahou Qi is supporting this Bai, it seems the headquarters are indeed planning to take action against Shen Peisheng.”

Even Wang Ziyu did not fully understand the grand ambitions of Shen Peisheng, thinking he only acted to protect his status and wealth by ”establishing his own power” and ”ruling as a king.”

However, Wang Ziyu knew that Shen Peisheng had already been undermining Xiahou Qi, including spreading rumors that Elder Xia’s health was failing and he was about to retire, which Wang Ziyu also vigorously supported.

Wang Ziyu believed Shen Peisheng had more moves up his sleeve, even if he was not aware of them.

Now, there was nothing controversial about President Xiahou Qi targeting Shen Peisheng.

”If it’s only Elder Xia’s verbal promise...” Wang Ziyu hesitated and probed Bai Xiaosheng, ”Can I record it?”

”No!” Bai Xiaosheng refused outright.

To Bai Xiaosheng, it seemed highly disrespectful.

He seriously said, ”If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.”

”Firstly, Elder Xia is a man of such stature, do you think he would care about deceiving just a regional industry head... oh, right, you are no longer even that!”

”Secondly, if Elder Xia truly breaks his promise, do you think a video will turn the world upside down? You are underestimating Elder Xia.”

”Lastly, recording it is simply seeking some psychological comfort. If Elder Xia does not fulfill his promise, you would go to Shen Peisheng to expose this. But, what use would that be? What would Shen Peisheng do if he knows? Moreover, he knows you once betrayed him; do you think he would trust you?”

Bai Xiaosheng, calm and unruffled, made another two points, then concluded, ”Think about it for yourself.”

”Anyway, you have only two choices, either believe in Elder Xia’s promise and cooperate with us to redeem yourself.”

”Or, go and spend a dozen or twenty years in prison, with me watching over here. I doubt Shen Peisheng and his people would be able to interfere or reduce your punishment!”

With these words from Bai Xiaosheng, Wang Ziyu felt extremely unsettled, his will significantly weakened.

”Alright then, I’ll just have a video call with President Xiahou Qi, and forget recording or anything...”

Wang Ziyu thus submitted once more.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled upon seeing the reaction, the recent topic was also his opportunity to warn Wang Ziyu.

If Wang Ziyu thought he could secretly collude with Shen Peishen’s side and play both ends against the middle, that was impossible.

Would Shen Peishen trust someone who had betrayed him? Bai Xiaosheng clearly told Wang Ziyu not to harbor any inappropriate thoughts!

The only way out for him, Wang Ziyu, was just one!

He had to agree to cooperate, help root out those problematic individuals, and he could only follow one path to the end, completely severing ties with Shen Peishen’s side.

”Rest assured, Mister Wang, I won’t let you be busy for nothing,” Bai Xiaosheng added with a smile.

Wang Ziyu looked at him, puzzled.

”Shen Peishen kicked you out of the group, didn’t he give you anything as compensation?” Bai Xiaosheng said, ”I’ll turn a blind eye to those things, consider I never saw them, they are still yours! Moreover, I’m not saying you were involved in them, any information and reports that involve your name and certain content will be redacted, only Mr. Xiahou Qi can review them, to protect your privacy as much as possible. How about that?”

Bai Xiaosheng ”delivered a slap” but also offered a big red date.

Finally, there seemed to be a flicker of spirit in Wang Ziyu’s eyes.

Permanently and thoroughly resolving his personal dilemma while reaping benefits from the other side, and with some luck, he might even fool Shen Peishen’s side without their knowledge.

Such a great deal, so ”perfect,” Wang Ziyu finally warmed to the idea.

”Done!”

Bai Xiaosheng, smiling, sent a video to Elder Xia.

The entire conversation lasted only five minutes, but by the end, Wang Ziyu had evidently become one of their own.

”Let’s not delay, Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, since we’ve decided to take action, we must act quickly and decisively. I’ll help you clean up the problematic individuals on this side as soon as possible.”

Wang Ziyu’s enthusiasm and initiative were even higher than that of Bai Xiaosheng’s team.

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying smiled, saying to Wang Ziyu, ”That would be most ideal!”

...

That night, Lin Yu arrived in Linshen and immediately headed for Shen Peishen’s residence upon disembarking.

Shen Peishen had his servant cook a late-night snack for his student so he could eat while speaking.

Lin Yu meticulously recounted his journey to Nanyu and his confrontation with Bai Xiaosheng, not missing a single detail.

Although it seemed there wasn’t much worth mentioning, adding specifics about Bai Xiaosheng’s facial expressions when he said certain things, Shen Peishen listened thoughtfully, nodding frequently.

”Listen, this Bai Xiaosheng can’t do anything to you, so he deliberately deceived you, then rushed towards Nanyu,” Shen Peishen said, frowning slightly, ”However...”

Hearing a ”however” from his teacher, Lin Yu quickly put down his chopsticks and exclaimed, ”Teacher, what however...”

Shen Peishen looked at Lin Yu.

”Doesn’t it seem too easy for you to deduce Bai Xiaosheng’s motives?” Shen Peishen asked.

”Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng deliberately let me see his anger? What would be the point? It seems like nothing but a distraction for his move to Nanyu!” Lin Yu couldn’t help saying, ”Teacher, although Bai Xiaosheng is very cunning and crafty, we don’t need to think too highly of him!”

Lin Yu still felt somewhat unconvinced as he spoke.

”Maybe, I’m overthinking it,” Shen Peishen admitted, glancing at Lin Yu.

”Anyway, we need to immediately be on alert in Nanyu, be prepared! It’s better to be prepared and have nothing happen!” Shen Peishen added.

Lin Yu nodded emphatically.

What neither teacher nor student expected was.

The very next day, Bai Xiaosheng created a huge uproar.

Not in Nanyu.

But in Gandong!
