1052: Chapter 1052: So it’s him!
Hotel lobby, buffet restaurant.
Bai Xiaosheng got so food and found a window seat to sit down.
The window was bright and clean, and the morning light was just right.
In such an environnt, Bai Xiaosheng was in a good mood.
Looking at the food on his plate, he felt quite an appetite.
Speaking of which, this five-star hotel had a lavish breakfast of high quality.
Bai Xiaosheng picked up a small bowl of steaming hot noodles, topped with half an egg, two shrimp, and bright green chopped scallions floating in the broth, the aroma tantalizing his taste buds.
Additionally, he grabbed two buns, one vegetarian and one at, and a small dish of mixed cold dishes.
With such a rich breakfast, Bai Xiaosheng was indeed hungry.
However, just as Bai Xiaosheng was about to start eating with his chopsticks, soone sat down across from him, pushing their plate level with his.
“Eating just this much for breakfast?
It’s better to have a hearty al,” the person smiled, directly picking a tea egg from their own plate and placing it onto Bai Xiaosheng’s, cheerfully saying, “Co on, don’t be shy, eat more!”
Bai Xiaosheng was speechless.
In this buffet, you could take whatever you wanted—who was being shy!
But, the person ant well, and Bai Xiaosheng looked up and smiled, “Thanks.”
The person who ca over was naturally Chen Yucheng.
“You’re welco,” Chen Yucheng said with a smile.
On his plate, there was only coffee, a small piece of toast, and a boiled egg—very simple.
Bai Xiaosheng ate his breakfast, and Chen Yucheng drank his coffee.
“Back there in the elevator, in the face of ‘facts’ unanimously recognized by everyone, you still had the courage to step forward, identify the real culprit, and clear soone’s na,” Chen Yucheng said with genuine admiration.
“Man, you’re really sothing!”
“Overrated.”
Bai Xiaosheng didn’t even look up, dismissing it with a word.
“No no, I really admire you!” Chen Yucheng said sincerely.
“Admire what?
Admire that I bring a ‘dumb down’ aura with , that I alone could see the truth, and everyone else is a fool?”
Bai Xiaosheng put down his chopsticks and started peeling the tea egg with a smile.
Chen Yucheng looked at him with a quasi-smile, “Why say that?”
“It’s what you imply.
Of the twenty to thirty people there, I believe that no less than five could see the truth, including you, old fellow!” Bai Xiaosheng bit off half the egg and continued eating, “And I never pride myself with the notion that ‘everyone else is drunk and I alone am sober,’ nor do I think everyone else is a fool.”
“I’m not that narcissistic!”
Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “So don’t treat like a fool either.
Your admiration, it’s too much.”
These words made Chen Yucheng smile even more, and even his eyes brightened.
He looked at Bai Xiaosheng, unable to stop himself from exclaiming, “It’s rare for soone to have such a clear understanding like you!”
Bai Xiaosheng remained indifferent.
Chen Yucheng continued—
“It’s also rare for soone to dare stand up, to dare to stand on the opposite side of the majority, and speak the truth!”
“What I said about admiration, has a different implication!”
“So people see it, but don’t want the trouble!”
“So people see it, and just want to watch the drama unfold!”
“So people see it, waiting to profit from it!”
“You’re not like those!
You saw it.
You chose, to stand up!”
“You not only have the ability to see the truth but also have the ability to change the situation, to keep the truth from being buried!”
Chen Yucheng said with extra emotion, “That is the real reason why I admire you!”
Bai Xiaosheng looked at Chen Yucheng unexpectedly, then smiled.
“Actually, I’m a bit curious now,” Bai Xiaosheng finished the remaining egg and wiped his hands with a napkin.
“What?”
“If it were you standing up back then, how would you have handled that situation?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.
Because of this man’s words, Bai Xiaosheng started to look at him with new respect.
Being able to say these things indicates that they share so common values—
Wanting to do sothing!
Without minding the trouble, the gains and losses, ignoring the benefits, just wanting to do sothing!
This recognition made Bai Xiaosheng very appreciative!
Faced with Bai Xiaosheng’s question, Chen Yucheng thought for a mont and then shrugged, laughing, “Perhaps not much different from your thods.”
“Maybe it’s a special way,” Bai offered.
“Pity it’s all over now, no chance to show you,” Chen said with a laugh.
“No worries, I didn’t really want to see anyway,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
“Because I believe if it was you, you would have solved it as well!”
Chen Yucheng smiled, “Then I must thank you for your trust.
How should I address you?”
“Just Bai,” Bai Xiaosheng replied simply.
“Just Chen,” Chen Yucheng echoed the response.
When strangers et, even if there is a sense of recognition, there’s no need to reveal one’s identity.
After all, the friendship of gentlen is like water.
“Finished eating, goodbye.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and stood up.
Chen Yucheng nodded with a smile, watching Bai Xiaosheng leave.
Until Bai Xiaosheng disappeared from the doorway, Chen Yucheng kept watching, but then seed to rember sothing, his expression slightly condensed.
“Bai, is it?!”
On his way back, Bai Xiaosheng walked and pondered.
That man surnad Chen, gave him a sense of déjà vu, as if they had t sowhere before.
Where?
Bai Xiaosheng returned to his room without figuring it out.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were already inside, reviewing docunts.
Bai Xiaosheng walked over and greeted them.
“Xiaosheng, we have pulled up the information on Chen Yucheng and the two provincial industry heads with your authority.
Take a closer look; it might inspire you,” Lin Weiwei said.
“Hmm.
Good job,” Bai Xiaosheng, his mind elsewhere, took the docunts and accidentally looked at the photos, suddenly paused.
Then, his eyes lit up.
“So, it was him!”
Lin Weiwei was startled, “What?
Xiaosheng, what did you say?”
“No matter, Weiwei, notify those two provincial industry heads and Chen Yucheng to co here tonight for dinner, on !”
“We’re inviting them to dinner,” Lin Weiwei smiled.
“Will they really enjoy it?”
A Senior Affairs Officer investigating here normally would be given a welcoming dinner by the locals.
Who invites them like this?
This is not playing by the rules!
Bai Xiaosheng didn’t care; the al would be expensed by the company.
He was just adopting a way to et those people!
At that mont.
In Beiyu Group, in the chairman’s office.
Shen Yu, the chairman, was sitting opposite soone in the sofa area.
Shen Yu looked respectful.
But after listening to the other person’s request, Shen Yu was sowhat surprised.
“Why so soon?
You’re asking to expose Chen Yucheng?
According to the plan, shouldn’t I be in the last batch and not get too involved?” Shen Yu was slightly reluctant.
This was the chaos of the investigation, led by a Senior Affairs Officer!
Being part of it, who knew what troubles might arise!
“The situation has changed, Old Shen!” his companion frowned, “That Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng arrived half a day ago; we intercepted evidence carried by one of Chen Yucheng’s colleagues – it seems they intended to use it to confront him!
Our initial evidence had loopholes; we need to fill them promptly.
Your early appearance is unavoidable!”
Shen Yu opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to say sothing else.
“Sooner or later, you have to co forward; does the order really matter that much!” his companion suddenly was displeased, “I didn’t ask you to confront the Bai’s Senior Affairs Officer directly, it’s who will et him!
Of course, if the investigation reaches you, you’ll have to testify; what’s there to fear, you aren’t at the group anyway.”
“Don’t want to, reluctant?
Don’t forget what you promised that person!” his companion’s voice hardened.
Shen Yu hesitated, stopping himself from speaking.
I don’t have to confront Bai Xiaosheng directly?
Hell, I’ve seen him in Zhongjing before!
He’s a tricky one!
eting him again, could I remain calm and composed?
Inside, Shen Yu felt bitter.
