1191: Chapter 1165: Who Loses, Who Wins 1191: Chapter 1165: Who Loses, Who Wins Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Headquarters, Conference Room One.
The so-called Conference Room One is just a small eting room located next to Mr.
Xiahou Qi’s office.
Its decoration is simple and unadorned, with even more basic hardware, truly warranting the label “spartan” in the otherwise wealthy headquarters—it barely compares to other eting rooms.
Yet this conference room carries significant importance.
Inside, there are only eleven single-person leather sofas, designated for the use of Mr.
Xiahou Qi and the ten Senior Affairs Officers!
From this detail alone, Conference Room One is undeniably a “vital area” here.
And today, the conference room has been in use for an entire day.
A eting that lasted the whole day.
Mr.
Xiahou Qi, along with all the Senior Affairs Officers present at the headquarters, were in Conference Room One for a closed-door eting—even lunch was delivered to them.
As is customary, all the Senior Affairs Officers had their mobile phones switched off.
Mr.
Xiahou Qi himself was the only exception, but he too had to keep it on silent mode.
This eting was for the mid-year review of the business operations and to discuss issues.
The topics to be discussed were unlimited.
During the eting, the younger generation of Senior Affairs Officers such as Zheng Honghu and Li Haofeng raised many serious issues and constructive opinions for everyone to ponder over.
It was after 8 p.m.
that this closed-door eting finally adjourned.
When the Senior Affairs Officers ca out, they were all exhausted, thinking about taking a break in their own offices regardless of the ti, before heading ho.
After a full day of etings, even the “young” people like Zheng Honghu and Li Haofeng appeared sowhat weary as they left the conference room.
So of the older Senior Affairs Officers were even more pale-faced, their steps slightly unsteady.
Even rely sitting through a whole day’s eting was physically draining.
The last ones to leave were Shen Peishen and Xiahou Qi.
These two had been colleagues for many years, weathering storms together.
To ordinary people, they showed great mutual respect and courtesy towards each other.
Currently, Shen Peishen was still discussing follow-up topics with Xiahou Qi, and as they exited, Shen assisted Xiahou by offering his hand.
Xiahou returned the gesture with a smile and a word of thanks.
This scene, observed by others, was indeed a sight to reflect upon.
The President of the Greater China Region and the Chief Senior Affairs Officer showing such sincere unity and mutual respect is certainly a boon for the group.
“Mr.
Xia, our eting today was indeed quite lengthy.
When you get back, before going to sleep, you might want to take a hot bath to relax your muscles; it’s good for your health,” Shen Peishen said with a smile, still keeping a genial tone despite his own advancing years.
Among all the senior officers, he was the eldest.
Yet, he always paid attention to health preservation and regular exercise; indeed, his vitality seed to even surpass that of others.
Xiahou Qi smiled in response, nodding, “Peishen, you could also try soaking your feet in dicinal liquor, it’s good for the body.”
Compared to Shen Peishen, Xiahou Qi’s lips were already sowhat pale, the fatigue on his face hardly concealable.
After exchanging their recomndations, they shared a smile and, accompanied by their respective assistants, parted ways in different directions.
Once out of sight of the other Senior Affairs Officers, Xiahou Qi’s brows slightly furrowed, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of barely perceptible pain.
“Mubei, give a hand!” Xiahou Qi said in a low voice to Wang Mubei, who was following closely.
Upon hearing this, Wang Mubei quickly supported Xiahou Qi’s arm.
Fortunately, they were only a few steps away from Xiahou Qi’s office.
Wang Mubei hurried Xiahou Qi into the office.
The old man was now alarmingly weak, his breathing sowhat rapid.
In fact, by the end of the eting, his illness had flared up again.
“Bai Xiaosheng had urged before he left, insisting that you must not overexert yourself.
After a whole day of etings, how can you endure it!” Wang Mubei expressed his vexation, seeming to feel a deep sense of guilt for not being able to dissuade Xiahou Qi.
After helping Xiahou Qi sit down, Wang Mubei quickly fetched the traditional Chinese dicine pills prescribed by Bai Xiaosheng, which greatly alleviated pain and were incredibly effective.
Xiahou Qi’s hand trembled as he took the pill and held it in his mouth.
After resting his eyes for a mont, he opened them and let out a faint breath, thanking Wang Mubei with a smile, “This eting was my insistence; the fault does not lie with you, you need not bla yourself.”
Afterwards, Xiahou Qi sighed softly.
“Shen Peishen making a move against Lin Ke, how could I ignore that!
Targeting Bai Xiaosheng, I absolutely cannot sit idly by!”
“Fortunately, after all this hard work, there’s finally so gain.
Bai Xiaosheng has already reversed the situation and begun his counterattack.”
Xiahou Qi held up his mobile phone with a smile to Wang Mubei.
As the President of the Greater China Region Headquarters, he was the only one who could check his phone at the eting.
Lin Ke was reporting the situation there at any ti, so he naturally had a firm grasp of the developnts.
This piece of good news invigorated Xiahou Qi.
“This ti is fine, I only hope there won’t be a next ti.
Otherwise, even if I resign, I will have to stop you!”
Seeing the old man’s happiness, Wang Mubei couldn’t bear to say more but still couldn’t help adding a word in the end.
“Yes, next ti, I will definitely heed Assistant Wang’s advice,” said Xiahou Qi with a big laugh, even making a joke about it.
…
anwhile, Shen Peishen returned straight to his office with his assistant.
The assistant by his side wasn’t Cheng Liu, for Cheng Liu was in the office monitoring the situation in Nandu and Qinggang, handling matters on his behalf.
The mont Shen Peishen returned to his office and entered the door, Lin Yu and Cheng Liu ca up to et him, both with faces that were difficult to conceal their gravity.
During Shen Peishen’s eting ti, the situation had dramatically shifted!
In Nandu and Qinggang, the Wu Family was faced with siege from many corporate conglorates and had repeatedly sought help in vain.
Online, the articles from Wu dia Group significantly decreased, and when calling to inquire, Wu Dazun was also vague in his responses.
According to their people there, Bai Xiaosheng took several asures, quickly containing the worsening situation, and it showed signs of turning around.
Just now, the latest developnts on the internet indicated that the direction of public opinion had changed!
It’s unknown how Bai Xiaosheng did it, but many influencers and major dia have joined in, beginning to boost their side!
…
To them, this was definitely not good news.
Could it be, after such a fierce struggle, Bai Xiaosheng could still turn the tables, and they couldn’t even keep Lin Ke?!
Both Lin Yu and Cheng Liu were very upset.
Now, as soon as Shen Peishen ca back, the two greeted their teacher to sit down, watching him drink tea while they succinctly reported the situation.
“The teacher will surely be furious, angry.
Such a layout, all undone by Bai Xiaosheng and his people, it’s really infuriating!”
“Hopefully, the teacher can be more open-minded.
This plan, in my view, was swift and fierce enough…
It’s just that Bai Xiaosheng, this man, really cannot be judged by ordinary standards.”
As the two reported, they were also considering how to comfort Shen Peishen once he beca angry.
Unexpectedly, Shen Peishen remained expressionless, finishing a cup of tea and then pouring another.
While listening, Shen Peishen seed deep in thought, as if pondering sothing else.
“The teacher’s restraint…
truly puts us to sha!”
“Anger arises in the heart, but does not show on the surface, having this kind of composure, only then can one achieve great things!”
The two of them sighed inwardly.
After hearing the report, Shen Peishen put down his teacup; the cup’s bottom made a slight sound upon contact with the table, making Lin Yu and Cheng Liu tense up, on guard.
“Alright, I know now.” Shen Peishen’s calm and unaffected words left Lin Yu and Cheng Liu stunned.
The teacher, not angry?
“Unless there’s a surprise, that Wu Family in Nandu will betray us.
You should be ntally prepared, and moreover, our people in Nandu and Qinggang, I’m afraid they’re all done for.” Shen Peishen even showed a hint of a smile, speaking in a casual manner.
Lin Yu and Cheng Liu were dumbfounded.
Teacher, he couldn’t have gone mad with rage, could he?
How could he speak such defeatist words, and so…
matter-of-factly?!
“After all, it’s Bai Xiaosheng, with the support of Xiahou Qi, Zheng Honghu, and Li Haofeng, him achieving all this doesn’t surprise in the least,” Shen Peishen said with a smile, “But what does that matter!”
“In the end, my goal has already been achieved!”
Shen Peishen, having been adept in scheming for decades.
How could he let a cunning little fox outsmart him ti and ti again!
