Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1816: Chapter 1436: Who Is That Man?

Ever since Bai Xiaosheng and the other two appeared, Zhengdong Province had been all smiles, seemingly in a great mood. But at this moment, his expression turned grim, and his eyes were filled with disgust.

Bai Xiaosheng and the other two followed his gaze.

Inside the elevator hall stood a group of people.

In the middle of the crowd, surrounded by others, was a middle-aged man. He was of medium build, neither fat nor thin, yet he had a striking appearance and exuded a commanding presence. While speaking with those around him, he exuded leadership qualities. Moreover, people conversing with him were attentive, wearing eager smiles, constantly nodding. One could easily mistake this middle-aged man as the real boss of Shengsheng International.

Zhengdong Province let out a low cough.

The crowd turned their heads, and upon seeing Zhengdong Province, their expressions changed slightly as they greeted him and stepped aside to let the middle-aged man out.

The middle-aged man also saw Zhengdong Province, along with Bai Xiaosheng and the other two beside him.

The middle-aged man looked slightly surprised, then smiled as he walked over with one of his companions.

”Oh, Mr. Zheng, feeling stifled in the office and decided to take a walk?” Although the middle-aged man spoke with a smile, his words were not biting.

Yet there was something about his smile and voice that was inherently unsettling.

Before Zhengdong Province could respond, the elevator dinged, and an elevator door opened.

Seeing that both big shots, Zhengdong Province and the middle-aged man, were engrossed in conversation and had no intention of taking the elevator, those lesser individuals hastily boarded the elevator.

Conversations between such big figures in the elevator weren’t easy to eavesdrop on, and intervening could easily lead to trouble.

Thus, their actions could be considered wise.

Soon, only the middle-aged man and his entourage, Bai Xiaosheng, Zhengdong Province, and the other three remained, totaling six people.

Outside the elevator, some people peeked in but quickly pulled back, knowing better than to disturb the scene, preferring to wait outside.

With no outsiders, it was easier to speak freely.

Zhengdong Province looked at the middle-aged man and said in a deep voice, ”Luo Zitian! Do I need to report to you what I’m doing? You’re really considering yourself as the future chairman of Shengsheng International! Let me remind you, ascending isn’t that easy for you!”

Zhengdong Province’s tone was full of aggression.

”Well, I must thank you for the reminder, Mr. Zheng,” Luo Zitian chuckled, ”Tomorrow, whether or not I take the position is none of your concern.”

As he spoke, Luo Zitian chatted with a short, thin fellow beside him, ”But I am certain, without a doubt, that Mr. Zheng will be stepping down soon!”

The short, thin fellow grinned widely, ”I believe Mr. Zheng’s stepping down is a certainty, and your appointment is also a certainty, becoming an unchanging fact.”

These words brought Luo Zitian great pleasure. He enjoyed hearing them.

Zhengdong Province glanced coldly at the short, thin fellow, saying, ”Guo Nan, you despicable man! I’ve valued you so much! But after tomorrow, you will be the first to be fired, kicked out!”

Faced with Zhengdong Province’s anger, the short, thin man called Guo Nan feigned an expression of fear, ”Mr. Zheng, don’t say that. I’m timid, I’m really scared.”

Halfway through, Guo Nan started to laugh.

Luo Zitian burst into laughter, patted Guo Nan on the shoulder, and boasted, ”Guo Nan, starting tomorrow, I’ll promote you and raise your salary, make you a vice chairman, how about that?”

Hearing this, Guo Nan beamed with a smile, bowed and said, ”Then I must thank Mr. Luo in advance!”

Luo Zitian laughed indulgently.

The two were simply brazenly performing in front of Zhengdong Province.

Zhengdong Province was furious, his face turning blue, fists clenched, yet he restrained himself from cursing or getting physical.

From their brief dialogue, Bai Xiaosheng understood.

Luo Zitian seems to be the person Beifeng Holdings has supported internally within Shengsheng International, holding shares equal to that of Zhengdong Province. It was he who urged shareholders to strongly advocate for Shengsheng International to distance itself from the Tengyun Yuema conflict and pushed for the introduction of new shareholders.

Regarding Luo Zitian, Zhengdong Province was able to dig out his background, thanks to Lu Qingfeng’s assistance and the extensive resources mobilized.

Additionally, it seems that Luo Zitian was utterly fearless, unconcerned about being discovered, and even less worried that Zhengdong Province would reveal his identity to the shareholders.

On one hand, perhaps it was due to Zhengdong Province lacking solid evidence, while on the other, shareholders might have preconceived notions, resulting in less ”trust” in Zhengdong Province, making it unlikely for them to readily accept the truth about Luo Zitian.

However, in Bai Xiaosheng’s view, those shareholders at Shengsheng International weren’t foolish; they might not care at all that Luo Zitian was a Yuema affiliate.

They might even be willing to tacitly approve.

After all, in the Tengyun Yuema battle to date, the Yuema System holds a significant advantage, while Tengyun continues to lose. Supporting Tengyun Series might not be a wise choice, whereas supporting Yuema System is different.

Birds choose the best trees to nest in. Shareholders, considering their own interests, might lean in such a direction.

As Bai Xiaosheng pondered, Zhengdong Province spoke again in an icy voice, ”Luo Zitian, tomorrow will reveal everything! Just wait and see who gets the last laugh! For now, please don’t block the way!”

The other party was aggressive, yet Zhengdong Province showed admirable restraint.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but glance at Zhengdong Province.

Over the years, Zhengdong Province had grown remarkably.

Hearing what Zhengdong Province said, Luo Zitian smiled and stood aside, and Guo Nan followed suit.

”I wouldn’t dare block the path of our Mr. Zheng, after all, today you’re still the chairman of Shengsheng International!” Luo Zitian laughed.

Zhengdong Province remained expressionless, completely ignoring Luo Zitian, seemingly treating him like air, leading Bai Xiaosheng and the other two to the elevator entrance.

”Mr. Zheng is so impolite, almost petty.” Guo Nan scoffed quietly.

Zhengdong Province glanced back at him coldly.

Though known for his good temperament at Shengsheng International, his longstanding authority was such that a single look silenced Guo Nan.

Yet, Guo Nan stood calmly, unafraid.

At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng also glanced at Guo Nan, just a simple glance, devoid of any hostility or anger.

But that one glance sent chills down Guo Nan’s spine, making him feel an eerie chill down his back.

What the hell! Who is this guy?! Guo Nan’s mind instantly echoed with those words.

Luo Zitian noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze too, and though it wasn’t directed at him, he didn’t experience Guo Nan’s level of fear, yet he felt a strange unease.

Luo Zitian couldn’t help but squint.

With just a glance, Bai Xiaosheng withdrew his gaze.

”Ding”—the elevator arrived.

The elevator door opened, and Zhengdong Province invited Bai Xiaosheng and the two others in, following behind them.

Luo Zitian moved forward, but Zhengdong Province pointed at him, eyes sharp.

Zhengdong Province said nothing, yet Luo Zitian instinctively stopped, daring not to proceed further.

Inside that elevator was not only Zhengdong Province but also a man whose gaze made Luo Zitian involuntarily feel alarmed, along with a burly man seemingly intent on putting pressure on his arm.

The implication was clear: if he went in, he’d be responsible for the consequences!

Luo Zitian truly dared not enter.

Watching the elevator door close before him, and the elevator ascend, Luo Zitian furrowed his brow in anger.

Damn it, he just got intimidated by a mere glance!

”Who is he?” Luo Zitian muttered, fingering his chin.

Guo Nan couldn’t help but swallow, and whispered nearby, ”Even Mr. Zheng treats him with unusual respect, which suggests he might be connected to tomorrow’s new shareholder affairs!”

Guo Nan’s comment made Luo Zitian’s eyes narrow, ”Are you saying that person might be the new shareholder Mr. Zheng intends to introduce?”

Guo Nan nodded.

Luo Zitian’s expression turned uncertain, murmuring, ”Then I must get to them soon and find out their background!”
