76: Chapter 76 Almost a Manager Level!_1 76: Chapter 76 Almost a Manager Level!_1 In the main conference room.
From the district chief and CEOs to employees, everyone had beco sowhat numb.
The shocks, one after another, had been too frequent.
Now, even the master had conceded to Bai Xiaosheng, so whatever ca next wouldn’t surprise them.
Li Mingtong, with an expression that was half crying, half laughing—or was it laughing, half crying?
His face was pale, devoid of any hint of color, his lips quivering continuously, his body trembling too.
He wasn’t standing on his own anymore but leaning against the table behind him, as if he could collapse at any mont.
But no one paid him any attention.
All eyes were drawn to Bai Xiaosheng.
The master, the district chief, and both CEOs were all gathered around Bai Xiaosheng.
“Ah, is it already this late?
No wonder my stomach’s been growling.”
Master Song Kai looked at the ti and joked.
Indeed, it was already noon, ti for lunch.
“Master, it’s our honor that you could take ti out of your busy schedule to guide our project!
We’ve already prepared a banquet.
Please bless us with your presence!” Shang Wenshu eagerly said to Bai Xiaosheng.
“Bai, you’ll accompany him.”
Vice General Manager Wang Ye also chid in with a smile, “That’s right, Master.
If you feel like you haven’t had enough discussion, you can continue over the al!”
Their enthusiasm was unmistakable.
However, Master Song Kai shook his head slightly, seemingly uninterested.
“The teacher is used to frugality and has his own preferences and dietary restrictions.
The grand feast you’re setting up might not be to his taste,” District Chief Wu Qibing said smilingly to Master Song Kai.
“There’s a unique restaurant nearby that you’ve visited before.
I rember you really liked it.
I’ve specially reserved a spot there for this occasion!”
Master Song Kai paused to reflect, then his face lit up with realization, “Oh, it’s that place.”
“Since the master is visiting our project, District Chief, you can’t just swoop in like this,” Shang Wenshu firmly opposed.
“Don’t worry, Master, Deputy General Manager Wang Ye and I chose the dishes ourselves.
I believe we have so taste!”
Wang Ye strongly urged.
District Chief Wu imdiately started arguing with them.
In the end, Master Song Kai clapped his hands several tis, and the three of them finally stopped.
“Today, I’m not eating here at your project!” Master Song Kai said definitively to Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye.
As they were about to say sothing, Master Song Kai waved them off and turned to District Chief Wu Qibing.
“Today, I won’t be accepting a al from you, my student, either!”
District Chief Wu Qibing, who thought he had the situation under control, had his smile freeze on his face.
Master Song Kai wouldn’t eat here or there.
Could he be planning to eat at ho?
That would be unacceptable!
“Teacher…”
“Master…”
All three started to object but were stopped by a gesture from Master Song Kai.
“Today, I’m the host!”
This statent left all three montarily dumbstruck.
Master Song Kai turned to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, “I was listening to you talk about the building book, and throughout your speech, it was all about how hard your departnt has worked.
In less than four days, to reach that level of quality with the building book is impressive.
They must be exhausted.
So today, I would like to treat your team to a al, is that okay?”
The master…
is treating the Promotion Departnt to a al!
The employees and managers, who thought they had beco numb, were suddenly abuzz.
Envy, jealousy, admiration.
Countless gazes fell on Wang, Song, and Yezi, making them the center of attention.
The three of them were shocked.
Happiness had co so suddenly and was so unbelievable that it felt like a dream!
Bai Xiaosheng looked at them and smiled.
Indeed, they had been very tired these past few days.
Now that the report had been a resounding success, it was ti for a proper celebration.
Then let’s savor a al from the Master!
“I have no objections,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “and I think they don’t have any either!”
Of course, no objections!
To be acknowledged by such a renowned figure like Master Song Kai and even treated to a al—this was sothing to boast about for a lifeti!
Even Wang was excitedly rubbing his hands together.
District Chief Wu Qibing laughed and said to Master Song Kai, “Then the three of us will keep you company and mooch off a al from you, that’s okay, right?”
Even the mighty District Chief was starting to mooch als.
Everyone burst into hearty laughter.
“Bai Xiaosheng!”
Suddenly, a harsh shout exploded beside their ears!
Like a trapped animal fighting for its life!
The harmony of the large conference room was shattered by the sudden outburst, startling everyone.
People turned to look.
They saw Li Mingtong staring fixedly at Bai Xiaosheng, eyes bloodshot, face twisted, his features almost contorted out of place.
Master Song Kai frowned.
This project deputy manager, having no clear reason for his grievance with Bai Xiaosheng, had been relentlessly trying to harm him from the start.
The Master did not like it!
Now, what exactly did he intend to do!
Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye’s expressions changed.
The Master had a favorable impression of the project thanks to Bai Xiaosheng, and should they co to think that the project team was full of internal strife and sabotage, that wouldn’t be good at all!
Even Vice General Manager Wang Ye couldn’t shoulder that responsibility!
“Li Mingtong, what’s gotten into you!
Get out of here!” Wang Ye barked.
Li Mingtong gave Wang Ye a wooden look.
Then, his eyes rolled back, and his body fell straight backwards, tumbling heavily to the ground.
He passed out.
The scene turned chaotic.
District Chief Wu Qibing also frowned deeply.
“Take him to the hospital.” At a wave from Shang Wenshu, two employees rushed over and clumsily carried Li Mingtong out.
“Master, District Chief, our project deputy manager has always been in poor health, with low blood sugar and occasional fainting spells.
It’s nothing serious, nobody should be alard,” Shang Wenshu explained with a smile on his face.
“That’s right, I’m aware of this too!” Wang Ye assured, thumping his chest.
This ridiculously false excuse was taken seriously by everyone as if it were gospel truth.
Master Song Kai still wore a smile.
“Then let’s hurry and go eat.
My blood sugar is low too.”
The entire conference room seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the direction in which Li Mingtong had been carried away, feeling sowhat disappointed.
He’d been ready to strike back, but his opponent had preemptively “escaped.”
“Alright, let’s go eat first,” Bai Xiaosheng beckoned to Wang and the others.
The trio ran over excitedly.
The group, surrounding the Master, got ready to set out for lunch.
The voice of Red Lotus suddenly echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.
“Involving a subsidiary of the group, critical project, presenting the building brochure to an important figure for the project’s future—Master Song Kai.
The presentation was successful, and scoring is now underway!”
“First edition of the building brochure, approval received, five points added, current total score eighty-three, seventeen points away from promotion to managerial level!”
“Second edition of the building brochure, highly approved, seven points added, current total score ninety, ten points away from promotion to managerial level!”
“Employee-level promotion progress at 90%, new task issued: Invite Master Song Kai to the project opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Success will grant ten points, promotion to managerial level, and unlock of the second system assistant!”
The barrage of prompts left Bai Xiaosheng a bit overwheld.
But the final task lit up his eyes.
Managerial level, was it finally coming?
