Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2949 - 2046: Vice Chairman Bai Xiaosheng
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Walking on the way to Bai Xuanyu’s office, there was always a trace of distraction and absent?mindedness in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes.
Just now, Wen Yan had said a lot of things to him that seemed useless, but on closer taste, they seemed to carry deep meaning.
Bai Xiaosheng was unwilling to speculate, like why he had to say those things, what his intent was, especially since Wen Yan had just fought side by side with him, and could even be called his friend, his brother.
"I just hope I’m overthinking it." Bai Xiaosheng murmured in his heart.
The truth was, he also knew he very likely was not overthinking it at all.
Wen Yan’s expression had already been extremely clear—he was hinting that Bai Xuanyu would be their shared "oppressor" and adversary from now on.
In the future, they might very well have to deal with Bai Xuanyu the same way they dealt with Morgan!
Would Bai Xuanyu turn out just like Vice Chairman Morgan...
Bai Xiaosheng shook his head inwardly.
How could they be the same? How could Bai Xuanyu possibly be like Morgan.
Morgan had wantonly swallowed up group assets to satisfy his own selfish desires.
Bai Xuanyu, although sometimes overbearing and stubborn, acting in ways people disliked, was single?mindedly devoted to the entire group, willing to do anything.
And what most left Bai Xiaosheng helpless was that such a person really might become his greatest opponent and nemesis in the future.
Because Bai Xuanyu’s position was his target!
After all, what Bai Xiaosheng was striving toward was the true chairman’s seat, and within a year or two he had to drive Bai Xuanyu down from it!
Bai Xiaosheng had never wavered because of an opponent, but this time was different.
From the group’s perspective, Bai Xuanyu truly looked like a "positive figure," while he himself was the one seeking to seize power.
What was this turning into, some grand ancient drama about fighting for the throne...
Bai Xiaosheng quietly sighed to himself, giving his head a slight shake, clearing out the stray thoughts in his mind.
What was he tangled up over, really? First suspecting Wen Yan of building his own faction and creating opposition, then feeling that treating Bai Xuanyu as an enemy and rival was wrong.
He was, perhaps, thinking a bit too much.
Wen Yan had indeed grown up under the intangible pressure of this older brother without blood ties, always living in his shadow, and now, having won a round for once, he was overjoyed—what was wrong with that.
Since he had accepted the succession task, treating the chairman’s seat as his ideal and goal in life, what was wrong with that.
As long as his actions were upright, and he reached for the top position in an open and aboveboard way, what could be wrong with that!
Having thought it through, Bai Xiaosheng felt suddenly clear inside, and even his steps became much lighter.
The bespectacled male secretary following behind him suddenly noticed that Mr. Bai Xiaosheng had quickened his pace, but didn’t think much of it, assuming he was simply eager to see Chairman Xuanyu, and promptly sped up to keep close.
Very soon, the two of them arrived outside Bai Xuanyu’s office door.
The bespectacled male secretary knocked, and hearing a response from inside, pushed the door open, leaned in, and reported, "Chairman, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng is here."
"Let him come in." Inside, Bai Xuanyu’s magnetic, rich voice came through.
The male secretary withdrew, gave Bai Xiaosheng a respectful smile, stepped aside and made a "please" gesture.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded to him and strode into the office.
Once Bai Xiaosheng went in, the secretary closed the door properly from the outside.
Stepping into Bai Xuanyu’s office, Bai Xiaosheng’s field of vision opened up at once.
The space inside was extremely large, impressively grand, highlighting the group’s domineering presence; the design was very thoughtful, carrying a kind of natural, integrated momentum.
One entire outer wall was floor?to?ceiling glass curtain, with light?adjusting functions, allowing a crystal?clear view of sky and buildings, cleansing the mind along with the view.
Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept across the office scene and finally landed on the person behind the desk.
It was Bai Xuanyu.
At this moment, Bai Xuanyu was also gazing at Bai Xiaosheng, assessing him very seriously, scrutinizing him very seriously.
Bai Xiaosheng walked over with a calm face, and Bai Xuanyu also stood up from behind his desk and came around it.
"Chairman Xuanyu." Bai Xiaosheng showed a mild smile and spoke first.
"Vice Chairman Bai Xiaosheng." Bai Xuanyu nodded, then said, "Come sit over here."
As he spoke, Bai Xuanyu walked toward the sofa to the side, and Bai Xiaosheng followed.
After the two sat down, Bai Xuanyu spoke bluntly, "I’ll just say a few words to you, no more than ten minutes. My time is limited, and you should be very busy too. I won’t have anyone bring tea or coffee to interrupt us."
Bai Xiaosheng had not expected that this acting chairman would actually even save on a glass of water...
But Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mind and nodded casually.
"Regarding your appointment, I’ll formally issue it within the next two days. Rest assured, since Mr. Situ Yin has testified, I recognize you as vice chairman, and so does the group." Bai Xuanyu first gave Bai Xiaosheng a reassurance pill.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled. "Thank you for the group’s and the Chairman’s trust. I will definitely..."
Bai Xuanyu raised his hand to stop Bai Xiaosheng from continuing.
"Forget it. You’re not used to saying those cheesy words of gratitude, and I’m not used to hearing them. Your getting the vice chairman’s position is a matter of timing and luck; the ones you should thank more are Mr. Situ Yin and Mr. Lu Cheng’an."
"I’m going to visit Mr. Lu Cheng’an today. If conditions permit, I’ll thank him in person and tell him he didn’t misjudge me." Bai Xiaosheng said seriously.
Bai Xuanyu nodded and said, "No need to tell me that. What I want to talk about is the work arrangements. You’re still unfamiliar with a vice chairman’s duties and obligations; whether you can fully shoulder the role is still unknown. So my suggestion is that you only take over a small portion of Mr. Lu Cheng’an’s original work for now. Once you gradually get familiar, we’ll see."
