Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1512: Chapter 1308: Our New President is a Devil! _2

After Bai Xiaosheng’s simple speech, he smiled and invited everyone to eat, and the group eagerly toasted the new president. They were cautious not to urge him to drink too much, but they themselves drank quite a lot, instantly heating up the atmosphere at the table.

Cheng Dongyu felt like an outsider, watching the crowd bond with the leader, and his confidence dwindled further.

Not only that, he felt increasingly isolated, sensing that Bai Xiaosheng had the ability to garner unanimous support.

He even considered that if Bai Xiaosheng encouraged others to report him, they might do so without hesitation!

This notion was undoubtedly terrifying.

While others grew warmer with the alcohol, Cheng Dongyu’s heart grew colder with each sip, sending chills down his spine.

”It’s crazy! Have these people really defected to him completely? What kind of bewitching congee has Bai Xiaosheng fed them?”

Cheng Dongyu’s mind was in chaos.

”Could it be that Mr. Bai promised to absolve them of responsibility for past deeds?!”

No wonder he once partnered with Shen Peishen. Cheng Dongyu quickly grasped the crux of the matter.

”Would Bai Xiaosheng waive their issues without cause? Surely, they have to earn merit somehow!” Cheng Dongyu pondered secretly.

Just thinking about this, a chilling realization struck Cheng Dongyu—the ominous possibility—

”Could it be that they’re treating reporting me as their merit to earn immunity?”

Cheng Dongyu shivered with fear.

Fear arises from wild thinking, and the more he thought, the more frightened he became, his heart shrinking with worry.

Bai Xiaosheng continued drinking and enjoying with everyone, while Cheng Dongyu felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, enduring unbearable suspense.

Several times, he attempted to interject, to probe. Yet, each attempt was subtly or overtly ignored by Bai Xiaosheng.

Moreover, facing so many people, he truly struggled to find the right words.

Cheng Dongyu was truly at a loss, feeling increasingly restless.

This torment felt like purgatory, leaving him wondering when it would end.

At this moment, the private room door was gently knocked, and upon Bai Xiaosheng’s prompt, Cheng Dongyu hastily called, ”Enter!”

The door opened, and several people entered from outside.

Leading them was a woman, who smiled and said, ”It’s lively here, Mr. Bai! May we join and have a drink as well?”

Feng Jiayao!

Cheng Dongyu’s eyes narrowed.

The newcomers included Feng Jiayao!

Not only her, but she was accompanied by two Senior Affairs Officers—the ”allies” Cheng Dongyu planned to contact next!

Feng Jiayao and the others looked at Bai Xiaosheng with eyes full of respect, awe, and smiles, just like everyone else at the table.

Cheng Dongyu instantly felt as if plunged into icy waters.

Of the ten Senior Affairs Officers and fourteen regional-level leaders, it seemed all but him were under Bai Xiaosheng’s influence!

He alone was isolated!

Cheng Dongyu stared blankly as Feng Jiayao and her company took seats, watched them enjoy drinks and conversations with Bai Xiaosheng, feeling waves of despair.

After several rounds of wine and dishes, everyone was in high spirits, with flushed faces and fulfilled smiles, appearing to bond with the new leader.

Bai Xiaosheng put down his wine glass and smiled at everyone, saying, ”That should be enough, folks. You all have work tomorrow, so best head back and rest early.”

The young president spoke, and it was just that single sentence.

Instantly everyone began to rise and bid farewell, with no lingering or wasted words.

Within less than five minutes, all were gone.

As Feng Jiayao left, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Zhang Chengxi outside the door, glancing back at the room before leaving.

Sun Wuchen at the door was continuously bidding farewells.

After most guests had left, Sun Wuchen slipped into the room, hoping to chat with Cheng Dongyu.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing only Bai Xiaosheng and Cheng Dongyu remaining, he was startled and quickly withdrew, even ensuring the door was properly closed.

Sun Wuchen was no fool.

He suspected that what followed inside would be the real business!

Bai Xiaosheng pulled out a chair, taking a seat a little farther away, smiling at Cheng Dongyu with a meaningful grin.

Cheng Dongyu wanted to smile, but his facial muscles twitched, finding it impossible to do so.

”Mr. Bai, what exactly do you want from today?”

In the end, Cheng Dongyu bit the bullet and directly confronted the issue.

First, there were no outsiders here, leaving no concerns.

Secondly, enduring such torment was worse than a straightforward confrontation!

By now, Cheng Dongyu viewed Bai Xiaosheng as though staring at a demon.

The opponent arrived, clearly ”saying nothing” and ”doing nothing,” yet inducing such chilling incitement and fiery torment.

Shen Peishen might be cunning, scheming every bit, but Cheng Dongyu didn’t feel he was as formidable as this young man.

That Bai Xiaosheng truly understood human nature, disguising intentions, plunging him into deep waters and raging flames.

”Are you waiting for me to say something, or do you have anything you want to say to me?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

This carried some undertone of ”confess voluntarily, don’t wait for me to speak” and ”frankness leads to lenience, resistance invites severity.”

Cheng Dongyu felt as though pressed under an invisible giant hand, hard to breathe. Usually, having spent many years in a high position, he had matured mentally as a middle-aged man, unlikely to experience such emotional fluctuations. Yet now, he was precisely seized by these emotions.

”Mr. Bai, since Elder Xia was in charge, I’ve consistently served diligently, and over the years I’ve climbed laboriously from the grassroots, achieving today’s status through accolades. My region ranks among the top in terms of production value. What do I need to say, I...” Cheng Dongyu began to speak emotionally.

”Don’t play the emotional card with me. I’m young and haven’t gone through what you’ve described. I can’t relate to it.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
