Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2950 - 2046: Vice Chairman Bai Xiaosheng (2)
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Bai Xuanyu clearly intended to give Bai Xiaosheng an identity but wanted to limit his power.
Bai Xiaosheng, with a sincere expression, thanked, "Thank you, Chairman, for your care, I express my gratitude once again."
Bai Xuanyu saw Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have agreed and smiled satisfactorily.
"However, Chairman, with all due respect, I cannot accept your suggestion," Bai Xiaosheng said gently.
He refused.
Bai Xuanyu’s corner of the mouth just started to show a hint of smile but was restrained before it blossomed, his brow even slightly furrowed, then said, "Bai Xiaosheng, I’m saying this for your own good. You’ve become the group’s Vice Chairman at such a young age, many eyes are watching you, wishing to see you fail or make mistakes; being cautious is not a bad thing. Why do you refuse to heed my advice!"
In fact, Bai Xuanyu was genuinely worried about the group’s work becoming chaotic.
"May I ask, Chairman Xuanyu, when you assumed the role of Acting Chairman, did anyone tell you that you were too young, possibly lacking in prestige, insufficient to win over the crowd, lacking in ability, unable to handle all the work, it’s best to only take on part of it, leaving the rest to various Vice Chairmen?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
A fine retort!
Bai Xuanyu frowned, staring into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, seeing Bai Xiaosheng neither avoiding nor dodging, his gaze firm; his brows unfolded.
Bai Xuanyu then slightly nodded to Bai Xiaosheng, saying, "Understood. Since you have the desire to try and wish to take on this burden, naturally, I won’t stop you, then take on all the work. However, let me say in advance, you must not make any mistakes at work! When I was the Acting Chairman, I also made a pledge to the board, don’t think that being a Vice Chairman means you can do well or poorly without consequence, this is not a guaranteed position, at least the one you hold is not!"
"I can also make a pledge to you, Chairman." Bai Xiaosheng said directly.
Bai Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, sizing up Bai Xiaosheng for a few seconds, suddenly smiled.
This smile was not a sneer, nor did it contain anger.
"You truly are a bold fellow, very much like me in the past, I admire you!" Bai Xuanyu said, "Then let’s end our conversation here."
With that, Bai Xuanyu slapped his leg and stood up.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng also stood up.
Bai Xuanyu glanced at his watch, murmuring, "Didn’t expect this conversation to be so time-saving, I thought it would take seven or eight minutes, didn’t expect it to finish in five."
"Sure, Chairman is busy, I won’t disturb you any further." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
Honestly, being contradicted, being refused, especially by someone who doesn’t quite get along with you, many people wouldn’t help but feel resentful.
But Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t feel a hint of displeasure or dissatisfaction from this Acting Chairman Bai Xuanyu.
Either Bai Xuanyu’s mood and emotions are like those old and experienced Vice Chairmen, making himself completely unreadable.
Or Bai Xuanyu simply has no emotional reaction to being refused or contradicted.
Regardless of which, this is quite remarkable!
Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng felt some admiration for this Acting Chairman.
"Originally, I should invite you to sit longer, but before coming to me, I suspect you spent plenty of time resting with Wen Yan, you should prepare for work." Bai Xuanyu said.
Bai Xuanyu had already guessed that Wen Yan would chat with Bai Xiaosheng but only mentioned it without asking anything more, seemingly indifferent.
Bai Xiaosheng naturally said nothing, just nodded.
"Then I bid you farewell, Chairman Xuanyu." Bai Xiaosheng courteously said.
Upon receiving permission, Bai Xiaosheng then began to walk out.
It was at this moment that Bai Xiaosheng heard Bai Xuanyu lightly say a sentence, seemingly intended for him, yet also merely a sigh...
"No doubt a true blood relative of grandfather, truly extraordinary."
Bai Xiaosheng glanced back, only to see Bai Xuanyu’s back as the latter walked back to his desk, which was piled high with files waiting to be processed.
Bai Xiaosheng said nothing, and left directly.
As the office door was softly closed by Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Xuanyu raised his head, gazing at the doorway.
Bai Xuanyu’s eyes gleamed brightly, murmuring, "Truly feels like a pressure greater than mine, Bai Xiaosheng, my competitive spirit rises against you!"
Meanwhile.
After leaving Bai Xuanyu’s office, Bai Xiaosheng returned all the way to his residence.
Along the way, he already felt many gazes, along with whispered discussions.
It seems the news has spread.
Vice Chairman Morgan stepping down and being held accountable by the group is akin to a thunderbolt, especially at this critical juncture, creating endless fodder for headquarters gossip.
And the news of Bai Xiaosheng replacing Lu Cheng’an to become the new Vice Chairman is like a second thunderbolt.
That’s not all; it’s precisely because Bai Xiaosheng became the new Vice Chairman that the fate of old Vice Chairman Morgan changed, forming a third thunderbolt.
With these bolts of thunder, headquarters staff is all stunned and shocked.
It’s estimated the news doesn’t "spread silently," but rushes forth at lightning speed.
Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng walking around headquarters draws thousands of gazes and attention.
Bai Xiaosheng outwardly remained calm, behaving as usual even as his heart surged with emotions he had suppressed during conversations with Wen Yan and Bai Xuanyu.
Now, there’s no need.
Passing through an aerial corridor, Bai Xiaosheng looked outside at the blue sky, vast and clear, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
I, Bai Xiaosheng, am now a Vice Chairman!
This feeling, truly wonderful!
Being Vice Chairman implies being just a step away from Chairman, means the dream that seemed far away is now visible, almost touchable.
Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath, feeling entirely at ease.
At this moment, the voice of Red Lotus echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.
"Host has identified a Vice Chairman-level executive, eliminated pests from the group, ensuring healthy operation, congratulations on earning substantial final task accumulation value!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng was momentarily stunned, then pleasantly surprised.
The original task was identifying significant issues of Vice Chairmen to promote to Vice Chairman, but due to Vice Chairman Lu Cheng’an stepping down for him, that task was canceled.
However, unexpectedly, due to misfortune, good fortune followed; identifying Morgan’s issue earned massive points for promotion to Chairman...
Hold on!
Bai Xiaosheng suddenly realized, Red Lotus didn’t calculate specific points earlier, only mentioned a "substantial accumulation value," not quantified, just "substantial," this vague unit.
How much is this "substantial"?
Bai Xiaosheng expressed his doubts to Red Lotus.
"Congratulations host for entering the final stage, this stage has no scores, no quantified assessment, showcase your ability as much as possible and trigger the final task. Once completed, you will become the group’s official Chairman!" Red Lotus’s voice was full of encouragement.
Making Bai Xiaosheng feel somewhat excited.
However, the lack of quantified progress made him feel somewhat unaccustomed.
"What about the assistance I’ve received..."
"Final stage, no new assistance, everything relies on you, but previous assistance will still be provided by the system."
"Truly the official Chairman, without being a temp like Bai Xuanyu first?"
"Complete the final task and become the official Chairman, owning the group, no interim phase."
...
After receiving Red Lotus’s explanation, Bai Xiaosheng’s eagerness heightened.
Counting the time, the journey to inheritance really doesn’t have much time left, even less than the promotion from President to Vice Chairman.
Speaking of pressure, Bai Xiaosheng indeed feels immense pressure, but at this stage, there’s no turning back!
"Then just charge forward without caring!"
Bai Xiaosheng’s mind had only this thought, heart surging with heat, making each step firm and resolute.
Hence the headquarters saw a young Vice Chairman with a vigorous stride, full of energy, walking along the path...
Upon Bai Xiaosheng’s return to his residence, the informed Lin Weiwei immediately pounced, and Lei Ying flashed an unprecedented smile.
However, the three hadn’t managed to converse properly when the threshold was crossed.
Those coming to pay respects to the new Vice Chairman, seeking to build good relations with him, truly like a crowded river, coming incessantly...
On this day, Bai Xiaosheng was truly busy.
