1055: Chapter 1055: Show Power 1055: Chapter 1055: Show Power “What?
Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng is hosting a banquet at this hotel and inviting you along with those two people!”
In Chen Yucheng’s room, Zhang Wenxin exclaid in shock.
“Yes, so that’s why I called you back.
Change your clothes and co with ,” Chen Yucheng said with a smile.
That young man was indeed Bai Xiaosheng!
Chen Yucheng sighed.
He had even thought about pulling him under his wing.
It seed impossible now.
Reflecting on Bai Xiaosheng’s way of doing things, Chen Yucheng felt it suited his own taste even more.
“However, might he be too upright but not cunning enough?”
“Being willing to stand up and speak for justice is comndable, but knowing how to adapt and being…a bit more cunning would be good.”
“That’s the only way to secure one’s position!” Chen Yucheng thought to himself.
Senior Affairs Officers have extraordinary strategies and always have a group of people around them; this is how they stabilize their foundations.
It’s not about forming cliques necessarily.
But one does need so people, to stand by your side, and faithfully carry out your arrangents.
Even the best plans rely on people for execution.
Senior Affairs Officers might seem lofty, but if they are sidelined or t with lip service compliance, they beco nothing but a hollow shell.
Intimidating people might work, but making things happen is hard.
Bai Xiaosheng was a Senior Affairs Officer with a shallow foundation.
“I, Chen Yucheng, after years of work, have built a network that ranks among the top in the circle of Affairs Officers; even Lin Yu is no match for .
This ti, I have prepared a last resort asure.
If it ever cos to that, many will stand up for , ensuring my safe exit.
This network of resources, if lent to Bai Xiaosheng, could enable him to contend with any Senior Affairs Officer!”
“But why should I put everything on the line for Bai Xiaosheng?”
“Just because I admire him?”
“That’s impossible!
If sothing goes wrong, it won’t just be trouble for but will also implicate many!”
Chen Yucheng thought to himself, “Besides, I still don’t know if Bai Xiaosheng is cunning enough, if he is fit to adapt to the treacheries of the corporate world.
Until I’m truly convinced about him, I had better not entertain the thought of changing alliances!”
“After all, it’s not like there are no other suitable candidates!”
Chen Yucheng, while arranging his clothes in front of the mirror, contemplated these thoughts.
So much so that when Zhang Wenxin spoke to him, he did not listen, just responded with non-committal grunts.
“I’m talking to you!”
Finally, annoyed, Zhang Wenxin brought Chen Yucheng back to reality.
“What did you say?”
“I said ‘I’m talking to you!'”
“The sentence before that.”
“Why is Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng hosting a banquet here?”
Chen Yucheng smiled, “Who knows, maybe he is staying here.”
That was his way of addressing Zhang Wenxin’s question; feeling no guilt, Chen Yucheng turned away.
Zhang Wenxin’s brows furrowed.
“Why can’t you take this seriously?
If he’s staying here, you should at least find him in advance, explain the false accusations to him, and ask for a fair judgnt,” Zhang Wenxin felt his anger rise whenever he spoke to his friend.
At the sa ti, he was extrely displeased with Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival.
“After all these years, doesn’t Elder Xia know what kind of person you are?
Doesn’t he know you have been falsely accused?”
“Not appointing Haofeng Great Affairs Officer, Great Official Zheng Honghu is one thing, but sending a newly appointed Senior Affairs Officer, not even thirty years old!”
“The headquarters are unfair!
Elder Xia is unfair!”
The more Zhang Wenxin thought about it, the angrier he got, “You might think it doesn’t matter, but I can’t stand it!”
Regardless of what Chen Yucheng thought, Zhang Wenxin decided to stand up for his friend.
At six in the evening.
At the hotel where Bai Xiaosheng was staying, on the fifth floor in a banquet hall, outside a private room.
Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe, each with an assistant, led by a waiter, found the private room and pushed the door open.
Inside, sat Chen Yucheng and Zhang Wenxin.
“Hehe, you two co early,” Guo Yunxin said with a strained smile.
Sun Youhe nodded politely to the two Affairs Officers.
“Not too early, just arrived a few minutes ago,” Chen Yucheng smiled, gestured for them to sit with a welcoming hand, showing quite an enthusiasm, “Please, have a seat.”
Although it had co to a point of dire competition, Chen Yucheng still managed to smile and behave politely.
Zhang Wenxin, however, was not in a good mood, snorted coldly, his gaze filled with hostility towards Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe.
These two individuals had started it, and then there was an echo around, maligning Chen Yucheng.
So, in Zhang Wenxin’s view, they were the “culprits.”
“What would you two like to drink?
The Huangshan Maofeng here is particularly good, why not try it?”
“Hehe, sure, since Affairs Officer Chen Yucheng recomnded it, then Huangshan Maofeng.”
Chen Yucheng and Guo Yunxin chatted and laughed.
Sun Youhe also smiled, “Then I’ll have a pot as well.”
The waiter nodded and left.
“You look quite worn out, Affairs Officer Chen, haven’t been sleeping well lately?
You should take care of yourself; soone like you is a valuable asset to our group.”
“I’ve been a bit busy lately, but thank you for your concern, Mr.
Guo.
I also need so information from a few companies soon, I hope for your cooperation.”
“Hehe, absolutely, definitely will cooperate.”
Guo Yunxin and Chen Yucheng continued their friendly exchange.
Unknown to others, they would think those two were best friends, yet in reality, both viewed each other as rivals wishing for the other’s demise!
Sun Youhe forced a smile awkwardly from the side.
Zhang Wenxin’s face was ashen with anger, seemingly on the verge of exploding.
Suddenly, the door to the private room opened.
At first, everyone thought it was a waiter, but then they saw it being pushed open from both sides, and a man and a woman entered.
The man was burly and imposing without showing anger, his gaze sharp and piercing.
The woman was beautiful and elegant, her deanor supre, her smile sweet.
Following them, a young man with a smile, dark hair, and dark eyes walked in.
“Have all of you arrived early?
It seems I’m the last one to arrive, sorry about that,” the newcor said with a laugh.
It was Bai Xiaosheng.
“It’s him!” Zhang Wenxin exclaid in disbelief.
During his trip to Tianqiu, the suspicious travel companion turned out to be Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng!
Zhang Wenxin was stunned by this realization, at a loss for words.
The change in his expression caught the attention of Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe.
Both n frowned slightly.
Why would Zhang Wenxin react this way?
Could it be that he had t Bai Xiaosheng before?
Both were astute individuals, quickly managing to hide their expressions.
Yet Zhang Wenxin’s reaction had not escaped Bai Xiaosheng’s notice.
“Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself, “Zhang Wenxin really can’t control himself!”
He had learned from Xiahou Qi that Zhang Wenxin was also present, which made him look up a photo of Zhang Wenxin, recognizing him as the sa Affairs Officer he had encountered in Tianqiu.
Despite Zhang Wenxin’s reaction and Guo Yunxin’s watchful eyes, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained unchanged.
He seed not to recognize anyone.
Chen Yucheng also appeared to be seeing everyone for the first ti.
“I am Bai Xiaosheng,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
His gaze swept calmly over each of their faces, seemingly exerting a subtle authority.
The aura of a superior was awe-inspiring.
Chen Yucheng, Zhang Wenxin, Guo Yunxin, and Sun Youhe all stood up.
“Senior Affairs Officer Sheng!” they greeted in unison.
No sooner had they greeted him than Zhang Wenxin, unable to hold back, blurted out, “Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, we have t once before, do you rember ?”
“You?” Bai Xiaosheng seed to ponder for a mont, “The person who sat beside during the trip to Tianqiu?”
“It was !
I’m glad you rember!
We surely do have a past connection!” Zhang Wenxin hastily added, “Then I must report to you.”
“Affairs Officer Chen was wronged, frad by these two!”
Zhang Wenxin yelled, pointing at Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe.
Was this an accusation right from the start?
Chen Yucheng was taken aback.
His friend was not usually the kind to cause trouble; he was just straightforward by nature.
Such people, once they discern right from wrong, tend to stick to their path, rarely making a misstep.
It was also why Chen was promoted to Affairs Officer by headquarters.
Yet such individuals can also be too single-minded.
At the mont, his concern caused chaos.
Facing the accusations, Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe remained silent, both watching Bai Xiaosheng, waiting for his reaction.
What would Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng do!
Bai Xiaosheng’s expression darkened, remaining silent.
Zhang Wenxin, apparently oblivious to the reactions around him, continued impassionedly.
“Since you are here, you should quickly clear Affairs Officer Chen of these false accusations!
These two are very problematic, and we have found a lot of evidence.
They should be investigated!
You can’t let good people be wronged and allow them to slander freely!” Zhang Wenxin continued to shout.
Chen Yucheng tried to pull his friend’s sleeve discreetly.
Yet Zhang Wenxin seed not to notice.
“Affairs Officer Zhang Wenxin,” Bai Xiaosheng finally spoke, his eyes cold and his words icy, “Are you the Senior Affairs Officer, or am I?”
Zhang Wenxin was montarily stunned.
“Do you think because you rode with once, had a brief eting, you can speak to in this manner, even order around?”
“I didn’t an to…” Zhang Wenxin quickly defended himself, noticing Bai Xiaosheng’s stern gaze.
“Hmph, I don’t know about Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe, but I see you, without respect, spouting nonsense!”
Bai Xiaosheng’s face was dark, his eyes full of anger.
Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe, catching a glimpse, felt a chill.
The young Senior Affairs Officer had such a strong sense of self-respect, not allowing any violation of his authority!
Indeed, a new official normally asserts authority, who likes subordinates to be disrespectful!
Zhang Wenxin, foolish as he was, probably got himself into trouble, perhaps even affecting Chen Yucheng!
Guo Yunxin and Sun Yunxin felt a secret thrill of schadenfreude.
“Zhang Wenxin, since you can’t orient yourself, you don’t need to stay here anymore… get out!”
Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand decisively and commanded authoritatively, directly expelling an Affairs Officer.
Senior Affairs Officer Sheng had shown his power!
