Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2473 - 1831: After the Incident
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
The comprehensive evaluation report that Bai Xiaosheng had forwarded to the main headquarters was, in fact, separated into two distinct segments. The initial portion, which had been delivered to Mr. Tike by Brown, was observed by Cilio. Its contents primarily detailed previously scrutinized corporations, with a significant focus on those linked to Cilio. To subtly agitate Tike, however, two entities, including Yorko, were appended to this section.
The subsequent segment of the corporate roster exclusively enumerated companies newly identified as problematic, with an overwhelming ninety percent having direct ties to Tike.
Nevertheless, Bai Xiaosheng's investigative endeavors did not cease; on the very morning designated for the trial, a substantial trove of irrefutable evidence was placed into his hands.
It could be argued that had Tike been privy to the latter half of the report from the outset, his actions today would not have been so rash. He would undoubtedly have first prioritized measures for his own protection.
Prior to the commencement of the trial, Bai Xiaosheng personally entrusted the second segment of the investigative report, alongside the physical proof, to Wen Yan.
At this precise moment, Bai Xiaosheng registered another scoring notification from Red Lotus, a development not unprompted, as Wen Yan had evidently initiated action.
Upon reflection, Wen Yan would still be en route at this time, moving with the speed of a swift gale, losing not a single moment!
This decisive work ethic was something Bai Xiaosheng deeply admired.
Indeed, precisely as Bai Xiaosheng had foreseen, Red Lotus issued points, all attributed to the decisive handling of the executives from those compromised companies.
"... In summation, all responsible individuals from the problematic enterprises have been addressed, with official communiques to be disseminated imminently. The cumulative score acquired amounts to five points..."
With the exposure of numerous corporate leaders resulting in a gain of merely five points, which seemed somewhat meager, Bai Xiaosheng did not permit disappointment to take root. He was keenly aware that a far more significant target, Tike, had yet to be accounted for in the scoring—Tike!
Considering the preceding investigation into Cilio and the points awarded by Red Lotus, Tike's score was anticipated to be at least equivalent, if not superior.
"Former African Regional Executive President Tike, in flagrant disregard for established laws, engaged in the massive embezzlement of group assets and perpetuated corruption among senior group management... This matter has been jointly reported by headquarters inspector general Wen Yan, deputy Bai Xiaosheng, and African Regional Business President Brown, subsequently reviewed and sanctioned by the highest group assembly. The presented facts are unequivocal, and the evidence is conclusive. Tike is hereby relieved of all executive functions, and criminal liability shall be pursued through the appropriate legal channels."
The formal declaration issued by Red Lotus stirred a profound sense of emotion within Bai Xiaosheng.
Primarily, the promptness with which Wen Yan and the elder Brown had acted was notable.
Secondly, the phrase "jointly reported" likely served as a courtesy extended by Wen Yan to old Brown, implicitly sharing the burden of responsibility they both carried.
Mr. Tike, it is presumed, is likely still recuperating in the hospital, his consciousness perhaps yet to return. Should he awaken to receive this official notification, might he suffer another shock that renders him unconscious...
Naturally, this unfortunate turn of events is solely attributable to his own transgressions, with no external blame to be assigned.
As Bai Xiaosheng's thoughts drifted, Red Lotus's voice resonated once more, "One regional executive president has been investigated, yielding a score of—ten points!"
This distinct announcement compelled Bai Xiaosheng to involuntarily break into a smile.
Ten points, at this juncture, held more value for him than a billion!
"The total points gained from this assessment amount to fifteen!"
"Your current standing is sixty-five points at the Business President level. Progressing to the Vice Director level requires an additional thirty-five points. Please continue your diligent efforts!"
Red Lotus concluded its address with a clear and pleasant tone.
Bai Xiaosheng had previously harbored the notion that advancing to this level and taking the subsequent stride towards the Vice Director position would prove exceptionally arduous. Unexpectedly, a single expedition to Africa had yielded scores that propelled him forward akin to a rocket's ascent, rapidly covering two-thirds of the journey towards this next milestone, an outcome that left Bai Xiaosheng unable to suppress his burgeoning joy.
However, it is crucial to note that the scores conveyed by Red Lotus were registered internally within Bai Xiaosheng's mind, remaining entirely undisclosed to external parties.
Furthermore, this entire progression unfolded in a remarkably brief timeframe.
Presently, standing before Bai Xiaosheng is the secretary of Hou Yuncheng, arriving with auspicious tidings.
The decisive actions taken by old Brown had not only served to rectify his prior reluctance to cooperate, thereby mitigating the negative repercussions and losses incurred by Bai Xiaosheng and the Huaxia Business Group, but had additionally led to the opening up of his affiliated companies, signaling an eager readiness to engage with the group's business associates.
These developments represented unequivocally positive news.
The secretary, speaking with palpable enthusiasm, observed the emergence of a smile on Bai Xiaosheng's face and erroneously assumed it was a reaction to the positive news he was conveying. He was entirely unaware that Bai Xiaosheng was merely lost in "thoughtful contemplation," having not absorbed a single word of his "trivial" report...
Once the secretary concluded his account, Bai Xiaosheng collected himself and offered a smile in his direction, stating, "Very well, I have taken note. Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver this message; I truly appreciate it."
"It is my professional obligation; it is as it should be," the secretary replied, his smile beaming.
Mr. Brown's altered stance brought significant rewards to everyone involved in the delegation. Those accompanying the group were honored, their direct supervisors received praise and attention, basking in the reflected glory. This success inevitably bolstered their political standing, leading to general merriment.
Consequently, Bai Xiaosheng, the architect of this favorable turn, was viewed with great appreciation.
In parallel, the secretary regarded Bai Xiaosheng with astonishment and profound admiration.
No businessman so young had previously commanded such influence, eclipsing prominent figures like Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan.
Previously, whispers of Bai Xiaosheng making waves in the North and South American business arenas were dismissed as mere business folklore.
However, witnessing firsthand how Bai Xiaosheng single-handedly turned the tide, compelling venerable figures such as Old Brown to alter their demeanor, was a different experience entirely.
The narrative surrounding this event, hinting at legendary undertones, was undeniable. Yet, the unknown remained shrouded, and those privy to the truth kept their silence. This very 'unknowability' lent an air of mystique, akin to viewing blossoms through a mist, further cementing Bai Xiaosheng's burgeoning legend.
