Anyway, they’re just mumbling down there, it’s not like they’re getting up to offend anyone. What’s there to be afraid of!
"Yeah, how co this Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng takes a vacation and doesn’t even know about such a major personnel change at our Greater China Region Headquarters?"
"Even if he’s upset with Shen Peishen, he shouldn’t really let go and not care at all."
"Exactly, with this kind of behavior, who would dare to trust him to beco our Greater China Region’s Executive President? Just imagine, if he really becos Executive President and acts recklessly, who would dare to trust him?"
"That’s right..."
These hushed, fragnted words gathered together, creating quite a stir.
Han Richeng looked around, suddenly feeling emboldened, and sneered at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng pretended not to hear the murmurs among the crowd, nodded slightly at Han Richeng, "Oh, so it was Shen Peishen who promoted you!"
"He really thinks highly of you!" Bai Xiaosheng said with aningful intent.
Bai Xiaosheng’s words were like stepping on Han Richeng’s tail.
Han Richeng imdiately pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, glaring and shouting, "Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, what do you an by that!"
"You’re just saying I’m Shen Peishen’s guy!"
"I’m telling you, if you’re spouting nonsense without cause, damaging my reputation, I won’t let it slide!"
"I, Han Richeng, am actually undercover within Shen Peishen’s side, investigating his issues. Ask around if you don’t believe ; I’ve been the most diligent in dealing with Shen Peishen’s ’remnants’ these past few days!"
Han Richeng shouted, claiming credit for himself, then squinted his eyes and sneered, "Do you think by undermining , you’ll gain more support from Elder Xia? How naive you are, at your age, to vie for the position of Executive President of our Greater China Region? Are you even thirty yet? Would we feel comfortable handing the Greater China Region over to you?"
So people in the crowd took the opportunity to voice their doubts about Bai Xiaosheng’s age.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at Han Richeng calmly, his expression a mix of a smile and a smirk.
This character was indeed interesting, seeming like a clown but sohow managing to stir up many such prudent, capable "smart people" here.
Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
Shen Peishen, perhaps he sees his ability but overlooks his character.
...
Ever since Bai Xiaosheng entered, Xiahou Qi had been sitting there drinking tea, indifferent to the chaos around him.
Li Haofeng, Zheng Honghu, and Xu Youruo all watched Xiahou Qi with smiles.
As the tea was almost finished, Xiahou Qi placed his cup down and lightly cleared his throat.
In the noisy room, Xiahou Qi’s cough was soft but instantly silenced the crowd.
Everyone was closely watching Xiahou Qi’s movents.
"Elder Xia, you are the most impartial, we all trust you won’t employ favoritism. Even though Bai Xiaosheng previously had close dealings with you, look at his current attitude. If he’s made our Greater China Region’s Executive President, where would he place you, where would he place us! Moreover, he’s not yet thirty. As the saying goes, ’young and inexperienced,’ you must be cautious..." Han Richeng said earnestly, "That’s what we all think!"
After Han Richeng spoke, he looked left and right.
Many people imdiately coughed or mumbled, making so noise to seemingly support Han Richeng.
Han Richeng also looked earnestly at Xiahou Qi.
Xiahou Qi looked at Bai Xiaosheng amusedly, Bai Xiaosheng looked back at Xiahou Qi amusedly.
Many witnessed this "interaction" between the older and younger, feeling a sinking feeling inside.
It seed impossible to make Xiahou Qi "give up" Bai Xiaosheng with rely a few instigating words.
Han Richeng’s mind whirled, thinking about what to say next.
Should he continue to speak against Bai Xiaosheng, or leave so room for maneuver...
As the saying goes, "Leave room for people to et another day..."
Before Han Richeng finished thinking, Xiahou Qi looked at the crowd and spoke with a smile, "Since everyone says so, I certainly won’t push Bai Xiaosheng to headquarters."
Han Richeng was stunned.
Many seated there were also stunned.
They could hardly believe it.
Has Bai Xiaosheng’s nomination really been taken away?
Han Richeng and others were suddenly delighted, feeling like they’ve picked up a billion out of thin air...
"In fact, I won’t recomnd anyone to headquarters!"
Xiahou Qi saw everyone happy and added with happiness himself.
Han Richeng’s smile froze in his eyes and quickly turned to astonishnt.
The room beca somber.
Even those who didn’t feel joy earlier were surprised looking at Xiahou Qi.
Xiahou Qi never joked in front of everyone; he’s soone who "ans what he says." When he says no recomndation, he’s definitely not recomnding anyone to headquarters.
Doesn’t that an they’re rejoicing in vain here?
Han Richeng wanted to speak, to ask on behalf of everyone, why Xiahou Qi won’t recomnd anyone.
Yet Xiahou Qi had already announced the answer before Han Richeng could speak.
"The reason is that headquarters decides the candidate; they don’t need the lower-ranking people to choose. Also, our Greater China Region’s president has already been appointed!"
This statent brought the room to complete silence.
Everyone widened their eyes in surprise, feeling it was unbelievable.
Has the new Executive President of the Greater China Region already been chosen?
Why weren’t they inford!
Not even a whisper of it beforehand!
Moreover, Shen Peishen was ousted just a few days ago, yet the Executive President was already determined?
Can headquarters really be that efficient!
Han Richeng couldn’t help but swallow, feeling extrely disappointed and profoundly shocked inside.
