Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1235: Chapter 1198: A Mouthful of Old Blood

Shen Peishen was determined to exercise his newly acquired authority as the acting CEO and forcefully recall the four Senior Affairs Officers, including Bai Xiaosheng.

That very afternoon, Shen Peishen assigned the task to the headquarters’ administrative department, instructing them to call those four individuals.

Bai Xiaosheng was the first to receive the call.

The caller was an Affairs Officer-level administrative executive from headquarters.

On the phone, the administrative executive was exceedingly polite.

He also knew exactly whom he was speaking to.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s current reputation, he was absolutely awe-inspiring among all the Senior Affairs Officers.

His fame was formidable.

His ”notoriety” preceded him.

You must know, there was more than one provincial industry head who had fallen to Bai Xiaosheng’s investigations, and none could escape. Even if they had the backing of a Senior Affairs Officer or were regional heads, their fate was sealed!

Even earlier, Chen Jiutian, a figure comparable to a Senior Affairs Officer in status, had been defeated by Bai Xiaosheng!

Thus, no matter who the administrative executive was under, they dared not act out of line in front of Bai Xiaosheng.

”Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, currently, Mr. Xia is gravely ill, and his condition is very dire. Mr. Shen Peishen has been summoned to step in as the acting CEO. He is calling all the Senior Affairs Officers who are away to return to headquarters promptly for a work adjustment meeting. The meeting is urgent and cannot be delayed. I am informing you that we have booked a business class flight for you at ten o’clock tomorrow morning. Please arrange your tasks at hand accordingly,” the executive said to Bai Xiaosheng with the utmost courtesy.

Bai Xiaosheng responded decisively and in one breath, ”I am indispensable here; I cannot leave. A meeting for Senior Affairs Officers? We have a remote video conferencing system; I don’t need to go back in person. Cancel the flight ticket; that will be all.” Then, without giving the administrative executive a chance to speak again, he hung up the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng’s hurried demeanor served to show that he was indeed ”very busy.”

On the other end, the administrative executive called out ”Hello? Hello?” twice, only to hear the dial tone. He was left with an expression of helplessness, glancing cautiously at Officer Lin Yu, who kept a watchful eye on him.

”How did it go? He hung up?” Lin Yu asked, frowning.

In truth, there was no need to ask; seeing the expression on their own man, he already knew the answer.

”He said he’s busy...” the administrative executive stammered.

”Even if he’s busy, he must follow orders!” Lin Yu suddenly roared in anger, ”Does he think Acting CEO Shen Peishen is negotiating with him! Such disregard for leadership!”

Lin Yu was very angry.

The administrative executive promptly nodded, but couldn’t help inwardly scoffing, ”With such a strong aura, why don’t you call Bai yourself? Yelling at me is pointless, as he can’t hear it!”

Naturally, the administrative executive would never dare to voice this opinion, or even let it show on his face.

Moreover, they were all ”on the same side.”

”The Senior Affairs Officer said there’s a video conferencing system. Normally for meetings, there’s no need to go back to headquarters,” the administrative executive added.

”Then couldn’t you have told him that the system is down?” Officer Lin Yu glared.

The administration executive made a pained face, ”If I said that, he would surely tell me to go see Sir Shen and fire the logistics and technical staff. Mr. Lin, you know as well as I do that our headquarters’ system failures have never lasted more than an hour...”

Officer Lin Yu huffed in silent irritation and then pointed at the executive’s phone, ”Forget it, give Li Haofeng and the others a call now!”

”Okay,” the administrative executive quickly agreed.

What these two didn’t realize was that Bai Xiaosheng had immediately contacted Li Haofeng and the others after receiving the call, informing them about the situation.

Following that, no matter which Senior Affairs Officer the administrative executive phoned, the answers were almost uniform.

”Busy,” ”No time,” ”We have a video conferencing system,” ”No need to go back in person,” ”This is the right of a Senior Affairs Officer.”

”Their responses are too similar; it’s certain Bai Xiaosheng has talked to them, and they’re doing this deliberately!”

Lin Yu was shocked and outraged after hearing the administrative executive’s conversation with Xu Youruo.

The executive from their own side managed a secret, bitter smile.

It was no surprise...

Such uniform responses, it would be odd if they had not colluded.

The key point was, they were all in cahoots, and that was something everyone on our side already knew...

Is this your first day realizing it?

Officer Lin Yu, the former model for Affairs Officers, who was decisive and acted swiftly, how come when confronted by Bai Xiaosheng, seemed to lose his composure, with his intelligence even appearing to take a holiday...

The administrative executive inwardly sighed.

”They say Bai Xiaosheng descended like a malevolent star, born to counter Officer Lin Yu. Could it be true...”

For a moment, the executive remembered the nonsensical rumors circulating internally and started to believe a bit of it...

After Officer Lin Yu had finished berating, seeing the administrative executive looking at him with a strange expression, he pondered for a moment, feeling slightly embarrassed.

Their sides were just at loggerheads with each other!

It was a matter of who had more reason on their side!

Right now, Sir Shen had seized greater power, but with that also came greater restriction!

It was impossible to act as forcefully as before!

Sir Shen intended to use his authority to make them bow, while they were using the rights of the Senior Affairs Officers to rebel.

This was a struggle against each other!

Since a phone call proved useless, further calls were unlikely to work either!

Having realized this, Officer Lin Yu refrained from wasting further words with the administrative executive, hurriedly turned, and left to report to Sir Shen before deciding on their next move.

This action by Officer Lin Yu actually gave the administrative executive a sigh of relief.

As a minor figure, he dreaded superiors assigning hard tasks without caring whether they were achievable or not.

Bai Xiaosheng was an untouchable ”malevolent star”... not someone he could provoke...

...

Officer Lin Yu returned to Shen Peishen’s office and recounted the entire incident.

Shen Peishen frowned deeply, exhaling heavily.
