Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2440 - 1816: Acting Along with You_3
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying instantly felt a surge of energy upon hearing this.
"Mr. Cilio is likely still congratulating himself on narrowly escaping, yet now the Sword of Damocles hangs over his head once more," Bai Xiaosheng remarked enigmatically. "It appears many individuals are intent on denying him peace!"
The latter statement caused Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to exchange bewildered glances.
Eventually, Bai Xiaosheng and the others retreated to the lounge.
By this juncture, the majority of the group’s members had reconvened.
Various leaders, including Mr. Fiewood, made an appearance in the lounge.
It seemed the subsequent phase was imminent—an evaluation of the final two projects.
However, prior to this, Bai Xiaosheng dedicated a mere five minutes to assembling fresh leads and dispatched them to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, entrusting the subsequent actions to their discretion.
In under a quarter of an hour, everyone had reassembled in the lounge. Under Mr. Fiewood’s direction, the contingent recommenced their journey, adhering to the established itinerary.
The examination of the subsequent two projects was indeed the central focus, housing significant details demanding scrutiny, and Mr. Fiewood furnished ample "contextual material" within his explanations.
As Bai Xiaosheng navigated through the assembly, making mental notes, any inquiry he conceived was typically anticipated and voiced by others. After all, these associates were prominent figures in the commercial sphere, possessing a superior vantage point and a thorough consideration of matters.
Bai Xiaosheng found himself in a position to simply "relax and absorb" the information by listening.
The final two review sessions spanned nearly two hours to conclude.
Upon the completion of the reviews, the timing was precisely appropriate; the group needed to return to their accommodation and did not prolong their stay.
Just as they were poised to depart, Mr. Fiewood unexpectedly orchestrated a farewell ceremony.
It was a vibrant affair, imparting a sense of finality.
Observing the group’s convoy recede into the distance, Mr. Fiewood finally turned, entrusting the remaining responsibilities to Harvey before retiring to his private office.
Back within the confines of his office, leaning back in his chair to rest, Mr. Fiewood let out a profound sigh.
The day had been exceptionally taxing.
At that precise moment, a knock echoed on his door.
"Enter!" Mr. Fiewood responded with renewed vigor, his voice prompt.
The door was opened, and an individual entered, their smile as brilliant as a blooming flower.
"Mr. Fiewood, I’ve successfully concluded all tasks. How would you assess my performance?"
The individual beamed, maintaining a disarmingly youthful appearance.
It was none other than Matilda, the secretary who had previously appeared so pitiable.
"Exceptional, truly exceptional!" Mr. Fiewood leaned forward, a smile gracing his lips. "While our plan this time had its imperfections, your acting was flawless. That concealed camera in the meeting room confirmed for me that you belong on stage, not behind a desk!"
Matilda stifled a giggle behind her hand, whispering, "You are far too generous!"
Matilda then voiced her uncertainty, "However, withholding the item from Bai Xiaosheng, merely allowing him to glimpse it—will this truly achieve the desired outcome?"
"It will suffice; that individual possesses considerable competence!" Mr. Fiewood replied with a shrug and a chuckle. "By withholding it, the gesture appears more authentic. Compounded by your performance, Bai Xiaosheng is certain to believe he stumbled upon these clues by chance. It’s perfect!"
Matilda offered a sympathetic smile, remarking, "You commend his capabilities, yet he is being manipulated entirely by us!"
Meanwhile, aboard the returning motorcoach.
Bai Xiaosheng and his associates occupied the rearmost seats, facilitating discreet conversation, as the rows ahead were conspicuously vacant.
Indeed, upon returning from review sessions, it is not uncommon for business professionals to convene with their team members to deliberate on work-related arrangements. The team leader, Hou Yuncheng, endorsed this practice. Given the availability of two business coaches, ample space existed for these professionals to segregate and conduct their discussions.
If they could formulate a collaborative strategy en route, it was considered a highly productive utilization of time, yielding substantial benefits.
Bai Xiaosheng leaned in to whisper to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
A look of mild astonishment flashed across their faces as they regarded him.
"A person who has served as a secretary for five years, committing such a rudimentary error again? Filas misplacing documents—did he purchase his position as general manager? While Matilda’s acting was superb, her gaze still lacked a certain depth..." Bai Xiaosheng divulged candidly to the pair. "It's all a fabrication! Designed to make us examine that particular piece of information. Those clues were intentionally disseminated to us. And I played along with their charade!"
"It’s all a deception? That's hardly possible... So, what action should we take now?" Lin Weiwei still struggled to accept this revelation.
Lei Ying, however, was fully persuaded.
"Then let us investigate the matter!" Bai Xiaosheng declared. "Someone actively seeks to prevent a resolution, desiring Cilio not to emerge unscathed, and is deliberately supplying us with information. Shall we not pursue this? However, once the findings are unearthed, their subsequent utilization falls beyond their control."
Bai Xiaosheng's lips twisted into an icy smirk. "Someone intends to provoke a conflict between two powers, hoping we can profit from their struggle! Let the show commence, and let's discover who possesses the superior cunning!"
