785: Chapter 785 Faint Hope_1 785: Chapter 785 Faint Hope_1 “Beichen, cheer up!”
Chen Jiuzheng could tell from Mu Beichen’s tone over the phone that his mood was sowhat downcast, and imdiately tried to console him, “You often say ‘One who aims to accomplish great things does not stick to trivial matters.’ History has always determined the victor and the vanquished.
Only by winning can one be deed king; in defeat, one is nothing!”
“Now is your ti to win, to beco the king.
The one who faces utter defeat is Bai Xiaosheng.
What you need to do now is enjoy the fruits of victory.
Why get hung up on the process of obtaining it?”
Chen Jiuzheng understood Mu Beichen well, knowing his competitive nature, still begrudging not being able to crush Bai Xiaosheng with his own power.
“Brother Zheng, you don’t need to persuade anymore; I understand all that!” Mu Beichen forced himself to sound energized as he laughed over the phone.
To prevent Chen Jiuzheng from continuing to nag, Mu Beichen spoke first, “Let’s not talk about that.
Through this incident, I’ve co to realize.
Zheng Qinghong’s brother actually has such influence; he can motivate a provincial industry leader to take the risk of being held accountable and investigated by the Affairs Office, to help us ambush Bai Xiaosheng!”
“Even I am quite surprised,” said Chen Jiuzheng.
“The leader of the provincial industry in Hedong Province, I don’t know if he’s repaying a kindness or if he’s under Zheng Honghu’s thumb, but he’s so obedient…
I think it’s the latter!
Nowadays, those who know to repay kindness have their limits and wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.”
“Right,” Mu Beichen highly approved of Chen Jiuzheng’s judgnt.
Afterward, Mu Beichen asked with so curiosity, “With such tactics at Zheng Honghu’s disposal, why didn’t he help his brother back then?
With such maneuvering, it seems we wouldn’t stand a chance against Zheng Qinghong!”
Chen Jiuzheng chuckled over the phone, “Brother, by your logic, I could have helped you, too.
How could you forget!
The province where Zheng Qinghong’s enterprise is located and Hedong Province are in the sa geographic region.
Even if Zheng Honghu wanted to help that way, he couldn’t; don’t forget the rules of your evaluation!
Performance within the sa region doesn’t count!”
“True enough,” Mu Beichen was taken aback and then laughed at himself.
Stung by Bai Xiaosheng’s move, his mind wasn’t quite working right.
He had actually forgotten about that.
“Zheng Honghu holds a trump card yet ends up inadvertently benefiting us!” Mu Beichen sighed.
“Haha, indeed!” Chen Jiuzheng laughed heartily, then added, “However, we also didn’t let him lose out; to exchange for that trump card, we threw out one of our own—a Guo-surnad Affairs Officer!
Of course, whether Zheng Honghu has the ability to help his brother secure the vacancy, that’s not our concern!
Whether he succeeds or fails, he can’t bla us!”
“Hmm!” Mu Beichen emitted a nasal sound, not without a hint of a sneer.
As they spoke, Mu Beichen’s thoughts still involuntarily returned to Bai Xiaosheng.
“Brother Zheng ntioned a lot; victor and vanquished, there’s no such thing as absolute fairness!
Success or failure relies entirely on strength!
Connections, tactics, they are all part of strength!”
Mu Beichen consoled himself with these thoughts, which made him feel much better, “Bai Xiaosheng, now you must be overwheld!
Actually, you should have been prepared for this; in this contest, your defeat was inevitable because—”
“You lack the strength!”
At this mont.
At Zhongjing dia, in the General Manager’s office.
Bai Xiaosheng sat at his desk, hands stacked together, placed under his nose, his gaze fixed on a spot, deep in thought.
He had been pondering over the situation for already twenty minutes.
Too little ti, far too little ti.
Including today, there was less than a week left.
They had suffered heavy losses, and on Mu Beichen’s side, they had taken two big orders, greatly increasing their power.
In this wax and wane, the disparity was huge!
The door to Bai Xiaosheng’s office emitted a faint sound.
Lin Weiwei tiptoed in, her heart aching at the sight of Bai Xiaosheng in such a state.
Just then, Bai Xiaosheng had spoken with Chen Shen, rapidly issuing several directives.
“Chen Shen, our current losses are all in Hedong; nearly two-thirds of enterprises in Hedong have halted cooperation with us.
The remaining third dares not breach the contract entirely, because our group has a supervisory body, and if they go too far, it will definitely intervene!”
“I need you to compile statistics on those enterprises that have yet to default.
Assign the salespeople who were initially responsible for signing the agreents to keep an eye on them.
If there’s any change, notify imdiately!”
“I’m drafting a new list of enterprises right away, but they are in other provinces.
Don’t ask for the reasons.
Except for the salespeople who are staying behind, everyone else should go there!
Lower our partnership terms, increase the concession ratio, and rush to sign agreents!”
“In addition, have the salespeople from the other two provinces on standby.
I will also send them a list of alternative enterprises!”
“And…”
Bai Xiaosheng was thodical, issuing his orders with crystal-clear precision.
Staying put, redeploynt, expansion, he ticulously strategized, deeply impressing Lin Weiwei who stood by.
This was the relentless, never-say-die Bai Xiaosheng!
At that mont, Bai Xiaosheng shone brilliantly, dazzling Lin Weiwei.
After arranging everything, Bai Xiaosheng spent a quarter of an hour at his desk drafting a new batch of nas, which he then wrote on paper and handed to Lin Weiwei.
“Weiwei, send these out to them.
Also, have our company’s administrative and logistics arrange for 24-hour duty to et all their needs!
Give your full support to the front line!” Bai Xiaosheng said.
Complain to the Affairs Office?
There was simply no ti for such a nonsensical lawsuit!
For now, it was best to focus on strategizing!
“Got it!” Lin Weiwei replied with a single word and hurried off to make the arrangents.
However, when she returned, she found Bai Xiaosheng in deep contemplation.
Seeing this, Lin Weiwei’s heart clenched once more.
Under dire circumstances, Bai Xiaosheng’s decisive actions indeed reached an extre.
Yet, Lin Weiwei still felt it wasn’t enough!
Hope was dim!
The most fatal issue, which couldn’t be avoided, was—the lack of ti!
“If we had just half a month more, no, even just ten more days, the outco might still be uncertain!”
“Sadly, we have less than a week now!”
Lin Weiwei had been pondering this problem on her way back, and now, seeing Bai Xiaosheng, she couldn’t help but bite her lip.
But before Bai Xiaosheng looked up, Lin Weiwei’s face once again regained its brimming confidence.
“Xiaosheng, following your instructions, I’ve made the arrangents!
With your plan in place, I believe we will soon see results and quickly catch up again.
Victory will be ours, and Mu Beichen and his sches won’t stand a chance!” Lin Weiwei said with an encouraging smile.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at her calmly.
For a full three seconds, Lin Weiwei felt so awkward under his gaze that she forced a smile and said, “Xiaosheng, why, why are you looking at like that?”
She even stuttered a bit as she spoke.
Lin Weiwei was secretly vexed.
“Silly girl, stop comforting ,” Bai Xiaosheng sighed deeply, stood up, walked towards the office’s floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked down at the city outside.
The city lay at his feet, the bustle right before his eyes.
Seeming within reach, yet unattainable.
Just like the current situation—turning the tide of the battle and the possibility of winning.
“Unreachable!” Bai Xiaosheng murmured to himself.
