Bai Xiaosheng interrupts a high-level meeting to declare he is there to attend. He produces an old provision from the former chairman, which allows a vice-chairman to abdicate their position to a worthy successor. Vice Chairman Lu Cheng'an has done just that, appointing Bai Xiaosheng as his replacement, and with the seal of the group guardian, the appointment is confirmed, making Bai Xiaosheng the seventh vice-chairman.

With Situ Yin as a witness, a seemingly trivial "abdication" document was recognized by everyone, including Bai Xuanyu.

Bai Xiaosheng thus became the legitimate vice chairman of the Zhenbei Group!

This was also why, when Bai Xiaosheng received this piece of evidence, Red Lotus voluntarily canceled the mission.

Because there was no longer any need to carry out any mission.

After being publicly acknowledged as the vice chairman, under the hint from Li Yunyuan, Bai Xiaosheng walked over to Lu Cheng’an’s seat and sat down, facing Morgan.

Bai Xiaosheng gave Morgan a slight smile, and Morgan’s eyes narrowed to the extreme, filled with shock and deep fear.

The way things developed had far exceeded Morgan’s imagination, and in fact, exceeded everyone’s imagination.

However, Wen Yan, Li Yunyuan, and others were extremely excited at this moment.

Just now, wasn’t Morgan only one vote away from escaping unscathed?

Now, that vote has arrived!

Bai Xuanyu composed himself and let out an almost inaudible sigh. He too knew that the situation had changed, and Morgan could no longer be protected.

For Bai Xuanyu, he may not necessarily want to protect Morgan at all costs.

Preserving or not preserving has its pros and cons.

It was just that Bai Xuanyu previously felt that allowing Vice Chairman Morgan to temporarily hold his position was "more" beneficial for the group.

But now, with the situation as it is, deep down, Bai Xuanyu also feels that cutting out a parasite from the group might not be a bad thing...

So Bai Xuanyu quickly regained his composure and said to everyone, "Carry on."

Carry on? What else is there to carry on, but for Bai Xiaosheng’s dissenting vote.

In front of everyone, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t keep them in suspense, directly announcing what everyone already knew in their hearts—

"I demand the group severely punish Mr. Morgan for his malicious behavior!"

Wen Yan, Li Yunyuan, and the other two vice chairmen, upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, their eyes lit up, full of excitement.

In contrast, Morgan was like struck by lightning and froze completely.

The two vice chairmen who previously stood by Morgan exchanged powerless glances, both remaining silent.

Bai Xiaosheng’s words represented a conclusion that could not be changed by anyone!

Four votes were already more than half of the seven vice chairmen’s votes.

Not to mention Morgan couldn’t participate in the voting, even if he could, they would still definitely lose.

This time, Wen Yan didn’t need Bai Xuanyu’s directions, standing up and proclaiming the result in his loudest voice.

"After voting, the result is clear! Morgan, as the group’s vice chairman, has lost his conscience, disregarded gratitude, and acted immorally! The group will now impose heavy penalties, removal from position, and pursue losses!"

Wen Yan solemnly spoke to Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, I hope you acknowledge your crimes and voluntarily compensate the group for its losses. Otherwise, the group reserves the right to pursue all litigation against you!"

These few words thundered through the room, leaving it in silence.

"...", Morgan let out a helpless groan, slumping in his seat like a puddle of mud.

His face was whiter than paper, lips quivering.

He didn’t fly into a rage, shouting about unfairness.

He didn’t throw a tantrum, stubbornly refusing to accept.

He didn’t even cry bitterly, recounting his accomplishments.

Morgan seemed to have forgotten all forms of resistance, as if his soul had been extracted.

It was all because he knew, every attempt is based on the foundation of possibility.

And he, no longer had any possibility.

After following through with this last step, even Bai Xuanyu silently acknowledged the result, and when the vice chairmen who once spoke for him saw the bigger picture, all his means became meaningless.

Everything was over...

At this moment, Bai Xuanyu stood up, lightly saying, "Meeting adjourned."

With that, Bai Xuanyu walked straight to the door, paused briefly in front of Bai Xiaosheng, and spoke indifferently, "Congratulations on reaching high positions, Mr. Bai. After the meeting, please come to my office for a chat."

Having said this, Bai Xuanyu turned and left without any hesitation, never even glancing at Morgan once.

Li Yunyuan stood up, reached out to Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly rose to shake the elderly man’s hand.

Li Yunyuan laughed loudly and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Bai!"

With those words, Li Yunyuan strode away.

Bai Xiaosheng bowed and watched him leave.

"Congratulations, Mr. Bai," another vice chairman smiled and came to Bai Xiaosheng to shake his hand.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled in response.

Next came the third one...

Even the two vice chairmen who supported Morgan both smiled and greeted Bai Xiaosheng before leaving.

No one paid attention to Morgan anymore.

Finally, it was Wen Yan; he didn’t shake hands with Bai Xiaosheng, instead giving him a big hug, patting Bai Xiaosheng’s back strongly.

Originally thought they would lose this time, but in the end, Bai Xiaosheng turned the tide.

This time they won, and won thoroughly!

Having beaten Bai Xuanyu this once truly filled Wen Yan with an outward joy.

"Come on, Mr. Bai," Wen Yan pulled Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, "I’ll be sure to organize a celebration banquet for you, after all, you are someone who came from my monitoring department, it’s our department’s glory as well!"

Bai Xiaosheng followed with a smile, his heart feeling immensely pleased.

As he walked out with Wen Yan, Bai Xiaosheng remembered something and glanced back to see Morgan cowering in his seat, still trembling, as if he was shaking with fever.

The once formidable man who commanded decisions, in this moment, has become aged, showing all the signs of advancing years.

A twinge of regret floated in Bai Xiaosheng’s heart, and he softly asked Wen Yan, "What about him?"
