Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1303: An Unexpected Turn of Events

The news of Han Richeng being held accountable and having a hearing was spread throughout the headquarters within less than fifteen minutes after the administrative acceptance.

The Greater China Region Headquarters was in an uproar.

Even the janitors and the gatekeepers knew about this matter and were paying close attention to it.

Such widespread attention and rapid spread naturally had its reasons.

Firstly, everyone had been closely watching this system, wondering if anyone would truly dare to take such action. Now that it happened, countless people voluntarily became ”little megaphones” to spread the news.

Secondly, apart from that, there were naturally people adding fuel to the fire—

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu meticulously found some reliable people to manage this matter, but even they were surprised by how quickly the news spread.

However, they were also pleased.

Meanwhile, in Bai Xiaosheng’s office, Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and even Xiahou Qi were present.

”Is everything arranged?” Bai Xiaosheng looked at Lin Weiwei and the others, asking with a smile.

”Yes, we know someone is fanning the flames, so naturally we have to lend a hand!” Lin Weiwei replied with a smile.

This fast-spreading matter certainly included their contribution!

”Just this time we have to employ some improper methods... Thinking about it, I always feel we’re letting Elder Xia’s teachings down.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Xiahou Qi, jokingly.

”Hehe.” Xiahou Qi looked at Bai Xiaosheng, scoffed twice disdainfully, and spat, ”Kid, don’t give me that crap! I’ve played just as many underhanded tricks. What you did is nothing.”

When Xiahou Qi talked about his own shady past, he not only didn’t hide it but seemed a bit proud.

Anyway, he had a clear conscience, as it was all for the corporation.

As he spoke, Xiahou Qi glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, ”I’m mainly worried that you’re as upright as Li Haofeng, which can be annoying. What I want to teach you next is that as a president, you have to be both righteous and shady; only by being both can you have comprehensive control.”

”I’m afraid you’ll implement a set of entirely upright policies for our Greater China Region, insisting on leading by example, and then getting trapped in it. Not knowing when to adapt, or spurning any underhanded tactics.”

”That’s when I’d have to beat some sense into you!”

As he spoke, Xiahou Qi seemed rather regretful, ”But it now seems, huh, you kid not only have a strong upright stance, but quite a few crooked branches and wicked thoughts too.”

Xiahou Qi was all smiles, without a shred of disdain, but rather very pleased.

A qualified leader must have a shining, positive guidance for his subordinates, yet he himself must have one foot in the shadows.

In this regard, Bai Xiaosheng did well.

At least, Xiahou Qi had appreciation.

Seeing Xiahou Qi’s support, Bai Xiaosheng and the three exchanged a glance and shared a relaxing smile.

With the words of their experienced leader, they felt at ease.

And next, they planned to use this turmoil to set an example.

No, not just one!

Bai Xiaosheng later changed his mind; they should set two examples!

This grand drama, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu set the stage, but the exciting part was beyond their control!

...

Morning, eleven o’clock.

The Greater China Region Headquarters, in a large conference room.

According to the administrative department’s arrangement, besides Han Richeng, nine Senior Affairs Officers were present along with fifty Affairs Officers and assistants with a good reputation.

Han Richeng also arrived, but his seat was so solitary it made him seem isolated.

On the opposite side, there was also only one person — Luo Chengxin.

Han Richeng gazed at Luo Chengxin from afar, his expression extremely gloomy and unpleasant.

In the row of Senior Affairs Officers, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu exchanged glances, with a hint of schadenfreude lurking deep in their eyes.

Looking at the row of Senior Affairs Officers sitting beside them, many had heavy expressions, with a touch of sympathy typical for those sharing the same fate; Shang Dadong couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased.

”Watch carefully, what good is it to support Bai Xiaosheng! You were once exalted, second to none as Senior Affairs Officers, but once this accountability system is implemented, you might obediently stand over there, like Han Richeng, facing accountability. If someone actually bribes an Affairs Officer willing to sacrifice themselves to bring you down, you’ll be doomed!”

Shang Dadong secretly sneered in his heart.

Actually, like Li Haofeng, even if someone were willing to sacrifice themselves, they might not get evidence sufficient to threaten him.

If the evidence is fabricated to frame, the consequences, according to the system, would be dire, almost equivalent to giving themselves away.

Of course, not everyone would be as upright as Li Haofeng.

Take someone like Zheng Honghu; he still has some shady past.

Not to mention, those whom Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu once considered allies.

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu want to ”wake up” precisely those people.

Currently, Bai Xiaosheng’s new system has been implemented but is still in its budding phase. As long as they unite again and work together, colluding secretly, the system’s little seedling will be uprooted from its survival soil, and though it may not die quickly, it will wither and become ineffective.

...

The Affairs Officers and assistants watching this exhibition of evidence and accountability were also secretly whispering, their expressions curious, with somewhat excited undertones.

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu’s gaze swept over those people, and although none of them were theirs, those they knew were all upright, even a bit stubbornly obstinate.

They were probably delighted to see Han Richeng suffer.

The two shared a subtle smile and each glanced at Han Richeng disdainfully.

”See how you tumble like a reed, supporting Bai Xiaosheng; now you wait to be made an example!”

”Bai Xiaosheng surely won’t miss the chance to use you as a scapegoat to make an example, anyway, he’s unfamiliar with you!”

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu were full of schadenfreude, highly satisfied with Han Richeng being sacrificed as a warning to others.

Han Richeng naturally saw their expressions, and his heart was filled with hate. He also took a glance at the crowd below, feeling a chill.

Not one person was on his side!

”Shang Dadong, Zhao Xinyu, even if I’m finished this time, I won’t spare you!” Han Richeng fiercely thought, ”You think you’re the only ones who have collected dirt on me? You’ve underestimated me. I gathered quite a bit on you two, fearing you’d come after me for rejecting you. Once I’m done for, my brothers will come after you!”

”We’ll all die together!”

Han Richeng was already determined.

He felt that there was little hope of getting through this.

While everyone waited, Bai Xiaosheng and Xiahou Qi entered the room, and the entire room fell silent, with Senior Affairs Officers leading the others in rising to their feet.

”No need for such formalities, everyone sit down.” Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand, inviting Xiahou Qi to join him on stage.

The venue was set up like a courtroom, with Bai Xiaosheng, Xiahou Qi, and the nine Affairs Officers, along with the fifty attendees behind them, facing the stage where Han Richeng and Luo Chengxin stood opposite each other.

Once Bai Xiaosheng took his seat, he smiled and addressed everyone, ”Let’s begin.”

These words were like a decree, and Affairs Officer Luo Chengxin could barely contain himself, immediately starting to display pictorial evidence on the big screen, beginning his accusations against Han Richeng.

The room was silent, everyone watching intently.

With Luo Chengxin’s narration and presentation of the evidence, Han Richeng’s heart turned cold.

Each piece of evidence struck at the heart.

Though not major errors, carrying so many tarnishes, Han Richeng was evidently unfit for the position, especially given the need to set an example...

Han Richeng was already in despair.

In a little while, he probably wouldn’t even be able to defend himself, having difficulty convincing everyone.

After Luo Chengxin finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng looked expressionlessly at the crowd, quietly asking, ”Does anyone have anything to add?”

The entire room remained silent.

Every second felt exceptionally long.

Han Richeng even felt bouts of dizziness.

Just then, Han Richeng suddenly heard someone raise their voice, ”Mr. Bai, I have something to say!”

”Me too!”

”I have something as well!”

In response, the meeting room suddenly became lively; at least three to five people spoke out.

Han Richeng was bewildered yet dared not harbor any fantasies.

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu’s eyes brightened as they looked at those people.

Surely, they were all here to report and expose!

Even Luo Chengxin was full of smiles.

”I believe the evidence presented by Affairs Officer Luo is questionable! Suspected of fraud!”

”I also feel there are errors!”

”Some are facts, but there are misunderstandings!”

Those people consecutively spoke, and their words stunned Han Richeng.

Shang Dadong, Zhao Xinyu, and even Luo Chengxin on stage were visibly taken aback.

The Senior Affairs Officers also curiously looked towards those who spoke.

Were they defending Han Richeng?!
