Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1148: Chapter 1136: Not Running, Is it Stupid?

On a high-speed train, in the business coupe, a man with black hair and dark pupils had reclined his seat and was lying comfortably with headphones on, seemingly listening to music or perhaps asleep.

This individual, who had turned the corporate industries of Gandong and Da Qing provinces upside down and caused the headquarters to collapse chaotically in a single day like a landslide or tsunami, had quietly boarded this train heading to Guangyun, vanishing from everyone’s sight.

Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng wanted to vent his anger but couldn’t find him.

It seemed that only Bai Xiaosheng could pull off something like this.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng appeared to be dozing, but his mind was buzzing with voices without pause.

Red Lotus was calculating for him.

In fact, it seemed that the later stages of Red Lotus’s calculations were delayed a bit.

It’s said that this was to better assess the results, waiting for some matters to emerge before making judgments.

But Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t in a hurry; what was his couldn’t escape him anyway.

Red Lotus had always been fair in its assessments.

Of course, if it were unfair, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t do anything about it. After all, there was no absolute standard to follow.

Just then, the scores arrived—

”Assisting Shang Wenshu, the provincial industrial head of Shangyun Province, in resolving a provincial industrial crisis, add five points.”

”Investigate and manage seven large enterprise heads and ten small to medium enterprise heads in Gandong Province, all actions deemed just and reasonable, add twelve points!”

”Investigate and manage one provincial industrial head and six large enterprise heads in Da Qing Province, all actions deemed just and reasonable, add twelve points!”

The continuously rising scores brought immense joy to Bai Xiaosheng, even curling the corners of his mouth into a slight smile.

Indeed, the most delightful thing in the world was scoring points to level up.

”This time, a total of twenty-nine points were gained, currently a Senior Affairs Officer with fifty-seven points, only forty-three points away from a Regional President!”

Suddenly, over half the points were achieved!

Bai Xiaosheng’s mood couldn’t have been better.

How long had it been?

He hadn’t even been a Senior Affairs Officer for half a year, yet the journey was already half over, truly comforting!

Regional President!

Bai Xiaosheng savored the title, slowly building anticipation.

This was different from a normal regional level with only a few provinces under its jurisdiction.

A Regional President could oversee places as significant as the Greater China Region, or perhaps other major international regions.

In that case, he would truly be ”second only to one, superior to tens of thousands.”

Here, ”tens of thousands” referred to the top managers from various industries.

Beneath them, the numbers were far greater than tens or hundreds of thousands.

Such splendor was something that even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but yearn for.

The smile on Bai Xiaosheng’s lips, oblivious to him, grew by another degree.

”Xiaosheng?” Lin Weiwei asked tentatively from nearby.

Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes and looked over.

”What are you listening to? It must be amusing; I’ve seen you smile several times,” Lin Weiwei asked curiously, handing him a box of neatly cut and assorted fruits.

Bananas, pears, watermelon, honeydew—white, red, pink...

Arranged neatly and not only looking good but also very fresh, it was tempting at first sight.

Bai Xiaosheng sat up, adjusted his seat upright, ate the fruit—nodding as it was sweet—and casually answered Lin Weiwei’s earlier question, ”Didn’t listen to anything specific, just thinking about Shen Peisheng and their current mood is making me a little too pleased.”

Hearing this, Lin Weiwei also laughed.

Indeed, Shen Peisheng on the other end must be going mad with rage by now, especially after Xu Yuncong’s forthright declaration supporting Bai Xiaosheng sent to headquarters.

Lin Weiwei felt like laughing.

Imagine, the expression on Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s face—it must be priceless!

”The evidence collected on Shen Peishen must be kept safe until we have enough to make it impossible for Shen Peishen to deny his guilt—then we’ll use it! Otherwise, if we report it piece by piece, it will only add fuel to the fire and easily let the other party mitigate it. We don’t engage in such tactics.”

Bai Xiaosheng said this as he stuffed a piece of cantaloupe into his mouth and chewed.

So sweet.

After a few bites, Bai Xiaosheng passed the fruit box to Lei Ying.

Each plastic fork was for individual use; it was very hygienic.

Lei Ying took it without any reservation and began eating.

”I’ve been keeping them all, categorizing and archiving. Now, from Chen Yucheng and Yu Ying, we’ve really collected quite a bit. Even if we revealed it all at once, it would be enough for Shen Peishen to receive a notice, a salary cut, or even a demotion!” Lin Weiwei’s eyes sparkled.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, ”Not enough, not nearly enough. What I want is to leave Shen Peishen with no chance to turn over the table!”

Bai Xiaosheng spoke seriously and deliberately.

What Bai Xiaosheng wants is a relatively clear Greater China Region.

It’s not about eliminating problematic individuals. In fact, many problem-bearing individuals are extremely talented, and many of those without issues are just too mediocre.

Both he, Bai Xiaosheng, and the group’s executives understand this.

Mr. Xiahou Qi, all the Senior Affairs Officers, and all the regional heads know this as well.

That’s why there are penalties such as notices, salary cuts, and demotions after mistakes—small punishments to serve as warnings, drawing a line but also keeping those who are useful.

Bai Xiaosheng isn’t seeking an absolutely ”clear” Greater China Region.

After all, water that is too clear is void of fish.

And what Shen Peishen wants is a ”post-stage” clear Greater China Region.

However, Shen Peishen’s approach is more extreme; he turns himself into a vortex, attracting those with issues to help him climb to a higher position, then sweeps these people away, clearing Greater China Region and adding a feather to his cap, aiming for even higher positions.

You have to say, for someone of Shen Peishen’s age, an ”old man” who would be retired in public service, to have such ambition, even audacity, is truly remarkable.

Naturally, Bai Xiaosheng does not agree with his methods.

Ultimately, What Shen Peishen pursues is fundamentally ”self-interest,” with self-interest as the goal. Although it will also eventually clear the Greater China Region, by gathering that group, starting from profit, he’s undermining the foundation, leaving Greater China Region riddled with holes. And in the end, even if the termites are gone, it’s nothing but a leaky, broken house swaying in the storm.

What’s the use!

”It will be soon, with the rate we are collecting evidence, the day we take down Shen Peishen will come quickly. Of course, they will hate us even more, just like they do now, I bet they despise us to the bone,” Lin Weiwei said confidently, smiling.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled; he also felt that day would not be far off.

Then, Lin Weiwei asked, ”Xiaosheng, why did we leave Da Qing so quickly to come to Guangyun? What’s the plan?”

Bai Xiaosheng never mentioned any evidence or clues in Guangyun. On the contrary, in Nanyu, after their investigation, there were indeed real issues. It was Bai Xiaosheng who, with a single train ticket, drew out deeper issues.

But Xiaosheng had said,

Going to Nanyu now was obviously not plausible; Shen Peishen and his crew would surely be on high alert, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

We must wait, let the heat pass, then feint a move and sneak over quietly!

Lin Weiwei understood this.

But, the purpose of coming to Guangyun?

Lin Weiwei was curious, and even Lei Ying, who was eating fruit next to her, perked up his ears, waiting for Bai Xiaosheng’s explanation.

Realizing both their concerns, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly laughed loudly.

”Weiwei, you said it yourself, they’re at the point of hating us deeply. We’ve taken such a big advantage; should we not run and wait for their desperate retaliation?” Bai Xiaosheng humorously said, ”Wouldn’t that be foolish!”

In his good mood, Bai Xiaosheng even made a joke, then said, ”This trip to Guangyun is naturally to dodge the sharpness and, incidentally, to visit Master Song Kai!”

”This time, it’s mainly a friendly visit! It’s for fun!”

Bai Xiaosheng said, his gaze distant.

It had been quite a while indeed since he last saw Master Song Kai!

Bai Xiaosheng was genuinely missing the old man.

However, what Bai Xiaosheng did not know was that at this moment, in Master Song Kai’s home, a significant figure was visiting!

And this significant figure was someone Bai Xiaosheng knew.

In fact, they were closely related!
