Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2959 - 2051: Wen Yan’s Thoughts

"Mr. Wen Yan, you have returned. Mr. Bai has been waiting for you!"

As soon as Wen Yan returned to his office, Ruan Yu greeted him and discreetly signaled towards the sofa area.

Actually, Wen Yan knew Bai Xiaosheng was there because Ruan Yu had informed him in advance.

"I know." Wen Yan smiled at Ruan Yu and then walked towards Bai Xiaosheng.

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng was sitting upright on the sofa, gazing out the floor-to-ceiling window, looking thoughtful.

The cup of red tea on the coffee table remains untouched.

"What are you thinking about?" Wen Yan sat down opposite Bai Xiaosheng and asked with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng snapped back to reality and gave Wen Yan a faint smile, "Oh, you’re back."

At first glance, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have no issues.

Except for his recent momentary distraction.

"Yes, I’m back. I went to see Miss Blanche from the board who came, just had a casual chat." Wen Yan, as if unaware, laughed and directly took the cup of tea from the table and drank it himself.

This action could only be done by friends or brothers.

Bai Xiaosheng quietly watched Wen Yan and said in a gentle voice, "I heard she is just an executive officer, is it worth it for you as the head of the Supervisory Department to meet her personally?"

At the headquarters, Wen Yan’s status is equivalent to a deputy director, even surpassing it.

It wouldn’t be excessive even if the executive officer sent by the board came to see him actively.

Thus, Wen Yan’s actions are not only inappropriate but also somewhat questionable in terms of attitude.

He was too proactive.

Wen Yan shrugged his shoulders and calmly said, "Although the person isn’t of high rank, she represents the board. There’s nothing wrong with me meeting her."

"It’s still not good." Bai Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "The relationship between headquarters and the board has never been great. If people in headquarters see you doing this, what will they think? Aren’t you afraid of being criticized and making our middle and upper management dissatisfied?"

Wen Yan looked at Bai Xiaosheng, suddenly laughed, as if Bai Xiaosheng had said something amusing.

"What do you mean the relationship between the board and our headquarters’ top management is bad, that’s improper to say. The board consists of our group’s shareholders, saying so is a fundamental mistake. And where did you hear this from? Don’t take it seriously, no one would admit this in person. Besides, I went openly to see the representative sent by the board, if there’s anything inappropriate anyone can come and tell me." Wen Yan laughed.

Bai Xiaosheng stared at Wen Yan, slowly said, "I regard you as a friend, that’s why I said those things!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s implication was, I wasn’t joking!

"Okay, I know you mean well." Wen Yan restrained his casualness, seriously said, "Sheng, first you must understand, it doesn’t matter what position the person holds, as she is now the board’s representative. That’s enough to make me see her, it’s absolutely not an act of lowering my status or actively sticking to her. Another thing... it was our acting chairman, Bai Xuanyu, who instructed me to handle the reception, the person has come, I can’t just ignore her."

Such words left Bai Xiaosheng slightly stunned.

He didn’t expect that it was Bai Xuanyu who assigned the task to Wen Yan.

With that explanation, Wen Yan’s "initiative" seemed truly justified.

Bai Xiaosheng felt he somewhat misunderstood Wen Yan, felt a bit apologetic, and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief as some of his concerns diminished.

"I see."

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression visibly eased as he said to Wen Yan, "Earlier, I wasn’t targeting you, don’t take it to heart."

"Do you think I’m that kind of person?" Wen Yan smiled.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and asked, "Is the reason the board sent someone over this time to get the position originally belonging to Morgan?"

Previously everything was just Bai Xiaosheng’s speculation. Even though he was sure, he needed someone to confirm it.

"Correct." Wen Yan didn’t hesitate to honestly tell Bai Xiaosheng.

It shows his sincerity towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "I also heard that over the years, the board has never stopped, and a few years ago there was even a big fallout with our side, which was only resolved when the old chairman had Mr. Situ Yin come forward with a handwritten letter."

"That did happen." Wen Yan nodded.

"It seems they have returned with readiness this time. I think everyone has noticed this. What do you think the attitude will be this time?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

This question didn’t require Wen Yan to think, he directly gave his answer, "Whether it’s the acting chairman or the deputies, they’re likely still not going to agree."

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t surprised by this answer.

It seems Wen Yan understands everything, so he can relax.

As long as their stances align, that’s what’s important.

Bai Xiaosheng let go of previously muddled thoughts.

Over the years, the headquarters’ management has been united, the board couldn’t do anything with them, and now they can still keep the board at bay.

"Is your next question about my stance on this matter?" Wen Yan smiled.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, it seemed Wen Yan roughly guessed what he was thinking.

Wen Yan reached out and picked up the teapot nearby, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it, then slowly said, "I support the board taking Morgan’s position."

This statement from Wen Yan made Bai Xiaosheng utterly surprised, he even was taken aback, then looked at Wen Yan in shock.

Wen Yan understood everything, but why at the final decision did he choose this?!

Opening the gates, allowing the board to have a hand in the management?!

Bai Xiaosheng was puzzled.

Even Second Master Bai Zhenbei didn’t agree, even Bai Xuanyu didn’t agree, but Wen Yan chooses this?!
