Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1281: A Completely Hopeless Situation?!_3

In the Western world of politics, many people may share the same mindset as businessmen like Soruns.

”Jiang Kuo left the whole matter to me. What exactly is his attitude? Does he want me to protect this powerful deputy to strengthen the Asia region, or does he hope to crush someone who might threaten his future promotion to high office?”

Soruns savored these two judgments, and looking at Shen Peishen on stage, his smile was overflowing.

”So, which one is most beneficial to me personally?”

”Is it to protect this Shen Peishen, make him part of my network, cause a rift between him and Jiang Kuo, and let the Asia region engage in infighting so their performance can’t match mine in Europe?”

”Or should I seize the opportunity to take down this Shen Peishen, causing the Asia region to lose a formidable figure and delay their future development, thereby making Jiang Kuo understand my ’good intentions’ and be grateful to me?”

Soruns softly tapped his index finger on the table, inwardly ”wavering”, ”It’s so hard to choose!”

On stage, Shen Peishen saw Soruns on the chairman’s platform smiling at him, nodding, with a look of full approval, which made him immensely pleased.

In contrast, Fang Beijun sitting below was constantly observing Soruns’ reactions, pondering what measures he should ultimately take based on these observations.

What troubled him was that Soruns seemed to greatly appreciate Shen Peishen.

”Mr. Jiang Kuo should have already told him about the accountability and accusations Shen Peishen would face... Does Mr. Soruns really care about those?!” Fang Beijun sighed deeply in his heart. During his time at headquarters, he had also heard about Soruns, the head of the European division.

His employment style—only looking at capability, regardless of character.

Those under Soruns could never sit in the position of Executive Officer in other divisions.

But under Soruns, they could!

Therefore, the development speed of the European region has always been terrifyingly impressive.

Even when faced with unfavorable factors like geographical and financial storms, within Zhenbei Group, their division was rapidly developing.

”If even Mr. Soruns supports Shen Peishen... White Xiaosheng’s chances of losing are substantial.”

Fang Beijun’s hand clenched into a fist under the table.

At the very least, he should now send a message to Bai Xiaosheng to prepare him.

Unfortunately, Yu Xingyao was next to him, and on the other side was Chu Ruolan.

Fang Beijun simply couldn’t contact Bai Xiaosheng.

”Bai Xiaosheng, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s that fate isn’t on my side!”

Fang Beijun’s clenched hand relaxed despondently under the table.

Shen Peishen’s report was meticulously prepared, bound into a thick volume, detailing the achievements of the Greater China Region during this phase, the problems encountered, and considerations for future development...

He went through it step by step, until noon, taking two hours to get halfway through.

Fortunately, Shen Peishen was well-prepared, so ultimately it wouldn’t drag on time-wise.

The performance of the Greater China Region reached new heights again, and everyone present listened with great passion and enthusiasm, because this was something to be compared with the other five divisions, and face was very important.

Among the six major divisions, those that made it into the top three would receive rewards from headquarters, benefitting everyone involved.

That’s a real benefit.

The employees present, mostly Asians or Asian descent, with many foreigners, but regardless of nationality or skin color, their sense of honor was consistent, and their desire for ”benefits” stemmed from a basic human instinct.

Lunch was a simple meal held in the conference hall, and Soruns was no exception.

Fang Beijun, who never got the chance to notify Bai Xiaosheng, simply gave up on the idea during lunch, deciding against it even if he had the chance to sneak a message during a bathroom break.

In the afternoon, after another two-hour report, the atmosphere in the conference hall was no longer as enthusiastic as in the morning.

After a long session, everyone would get weary and numb.

By the end, the employees were yawning repeatedly, enduring second by second, getting through the main meeting, next would be the small meetings, which were matters for the leaders and not their concern.

Finally, Shen Peishen finished his report.

As they heard the closing, thunderous applause erupted in the hall.

Rather than a compliment on the marvelous report, it was more like everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, celebrating the end of the ordeal.

Next, Soruns summarized in a very concise manner, just a few minutes.

When Soruns finished speaking, applause erupted again, as they had to give the leadership some face.

The administration department organized the dismissal, leaving only some key figures behind.

Soruns invited Shen Peishen over and engaged in a cheerful chat with him.

Facing someone slightly higher in rank than himself, Shen Peishen responded with a broad smile, providing a networking demonstration to Lin Yu and others watching from afar.

Noticing that almost all the extraneous people had left, Soruns smiled and said to Shen Peishen.

”The next topic still concerns Mr. Shen, unfortunate that you can’t rest yet.”

Shen Peishen originally planned to rest after the chat since he was getting up in years, and four hours of meeting with continuous speaking was a bit much.

But hearing Soruns say this, Shen Peishen was momentarily stunned.

No known agenda mentioned anything further requiring his involvement?

”May I know what Mr. Soruns is referring to?” Shen Peishen asked with a smile.

”You’ll know soon enough.” Soruns feigned mystery with a slight smile, ”Oh, by the way, there’s another main character in this part, whom I’ve already sent someone to invite...”

Soruns lifted his gaze, noticing a group of figures appearing at the entrance, he immediately smiled and pointed, ”Look, they’re here!”

”And an old friend of Mr. Shen!”

Shen Peishen looked over with curiosity.

His originally smiling face froze instantly upon seeing someone, his eyes narrowed, and his eyes widened.

”Bai Xiaosheng!”
