Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 1007 - 107

Chapter 1007: 107

Monday, nine fifteen in the morning, Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region Headquarters, Affairs Department.

In the corridor.

Officer Lin Yu strode forward, with Gao Peng and Liu Yan closely following behind.

Right now, they were heading straight for Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office.

Zheng Honghu had said to arrive at ten, so Lin Yu had Liu Yan set a reminder for nine thirty.

But this morning, Lin Yu had made a last-minute decision—to arrive a quarter hour early.

Lin Yu was determined to not give that man surnamed Bai any chance whatsoever!

Lin Yu had already experienced Bai Xiaosheng a year ago.

The most striking impression was that the guy really didn’t play by the rules!

To guard against him, one had to be foolproof, then raise the bar significantly higher to feel at ease!

Yesterday, Lin Yu had not only reviewed the evidence from Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing,

But also revisited all the investigative reports that Bai Xiaosheng had done in the past year, thoroughly going through them one by one.

To know your enemy as well as yourself is to fight without disaster!

Lin Yu understood this principle!

Although those reports didn’t specify how Bai Xiaosheng conducted his investigations, Lin Yu could still infer—Bai Xiaosheng had a myriad of tactics, acted deviously, and broke convention.

"Although he has lost the original paper evidence, the testimonial evidence still exists. Therefore, whoever submits new evidence first, that will be more advantageous to them!"

"Even determining the outcome!"

"If he’s first, I will have to strenuously explain the origins of these paper evidences, and with one slip, I could fall into his verbal traps."

"If I’m first, then he will be the one on the defensive, with his testimonial evidence amounting to nothing but his word!"

All the way there, Lin Yu was contemplating these thoughts.

Arriving at the door of Great Official Zheng Honghu’s office, Lin Yu personally knocked on the door.

This, too, was what he had instructed Gao Peng and Liu Yan to do.

Today, unless he instructed them to act, everything had to be done by him personally.

Because today was of extraordinary significance!

Before a second knock was needed, the door to Zheng Honghu’s office opened.

A head popped out, with a baby face that still looked somewhat youthful, just like a fresh college graduate, with an air of a young novice monk.

Lin Yu wasn’t surprised by such a youthful face.

The largest source of Affair Department’s assistants came from the subsidiary company’s general managers.

Moreover, the assistants used by Senior Affairs Officers should naturally have a distinguished air and extraordinary experience.

However, nothing is absolute in this world.

In reality, the sources of assistants are diverse.

So, in the Affairs Department, seeing young faces among the affairs officers and assistants wasn’t unusual.

Yet, Zheng Honghu’s assistant was indeed not some young man; he must have been just under forty, only possessing the rare feature of a youthful, babyish face.

His name was Yu Chang.

"Oh, it’s Officer Lin Yu?" Upon seeing Lin Yu, Yu Chang’s eyes slightly brightened, his voice respectful.

Lin Yu was an idol to many in the Affairs Department.

"Assistant Yu." Lin Yu spoke courteously, "I’ve come to see Great Official Zheng Honghu."

"Great Official Honghu hasn’t arrived yet, he will likely be here at ten," Yu Chang reminded with a smile.

"It’s okay, I can wait."

Lin Yu smiled.

He didn’t mind waiting, as long as he was the first!

Yu Chang smiled apologetically, "Officer Lin Yu, ideally, I should invite you in to wait. But you know, today is not an ordinary day, we might have many visitors soon."

"And, as Great Official Honghu said, if the officers wish to wait, please do so outside the door."

"Today’s review needs to be conducted inside our office, one at a time. It wouldn’t be appropriate for everyone to be inside."

After saying this, Yu Chang cautiously suggested, "Why not return and wait? Once Great Official Honghu arrives, I can give you a call?"

Gao Peng and Liu Yan also looked towards their own affairs officer.

Lin Yu smiled, "So we are to queue outside the door? Fine, then I will wait outside."

To be honest, Lin Yu didn’t mind waiting outside.

As long as it was a uniform arrangement with clear rules, it was acceptable.

Today’s review was to be overseen by Great Official Zheng Honghu, his way of handling it, not even Mr. Xiahou Qi, the CEO, could forcefully command.

"Then, I’m afraid you’ll have to be inconvenienced," Yu Chang said with a grin.

"It’s alright."

Yu Chang offered a rueful smile and headed back to his office.

Lin Yu stood at the doorway, perfectly calm and collected.

"Otherwise, I’ll go get you a seat," Gao Peng suggested.

"Or, we can stand in line here, and you can go back first," Liu Yan suggested.

"No need, I’ll just stand here and wait," Lin Yu said. "I’m not that fragile."

Gao Peng and Liu Yan gave up.

Lin Yu was actually quite pleased with the situation.

As long as he was in this position, he would be the first one.

The very first one, clear for all to see and under everyone’s scrutiny.

No one could fake it!

"Bai Xiaosheng can only be behind me!" Lin Yu’s lips curled up in a smile. "I will not let him enter before me!"

"This time, Bai Xiaosheng will have to be second!"

Having learned his lesson from last time, Lin Yu could remember it for a lifetime, casting a shadow over his heart.

Lin Yu took his stand there, and with two assistants by his side, he was very conspicuous.

Bystanders greeting him also began to chatter amongst themselves.

When they found out that Officer Lin Yu was waiting for the Great Official Zheng Honghu for the final performance review, everyone immediately grew solemn.

The news spread rapidly.

Various stories circulated: how the Great Official Zheng Honghu set the rule that first come, first served, and there would be no waiting past noon.

That those reviewed first would get impression points, while the last few who dragged their feet would lose points.

Variations of the story spread like wildfire.

"Officer Lin Yu!"

"Officer Lin Yu, good morning!"

Within ten minutes, two other Officers ran over, smiling and saying hello, then voluntarily lined up behind Lin Yu.

"You two aren’t late either!"

Lin Yu greeted them with a smile, a flicker of light dancing deep in his eyes.

"This time, Bai Xiaosheng will have to be fourth!"

Just two minutes went by before another Officer arrived, exchanging pleasantries with everyone before joining the end of the line.

"This time, Bai Xiaosheng will have to be fifth!"

By 9:50 a.m., the line outside the door of the Great Official Zheng Honghu had grown quite long.

There seemed to be more than twenty people.

Some even started counting.

But one person on the scene remembered the count very clearly, and that was Lin Yu.

"This time, Bai Xiaosheng will have to be twenty-fifth!" Lin Yu reveled in the thought, "Even if I let him cut in line, these twenty-three people wouldn’t agree!"

"If you’re at the end of the line, you might not pass the review even by noon," Lin Yu glanced back, his mood getting progressively better.

As ten o’clock approached, the number of people in line increased considerably.

Together with the accompanying affairs assistants, the place buzzed like a train station ticket office.

But Lin Yu had no interest in counting heads anymore.

He was certain that Bai Xiaosheng had absolutely no chance of going in first!

"Great Official Zheng Honghu is coming!"

Someone whispered.

The once noisy line instantly fell silent.

Lin Yu excitedly looked over, only to be taken aback.

At one end of the corridor, the Great Official Zheng Honghu was leisurely making his way to his office, chatting and laughing with someone.

Right beside Zheng Honghu was Bai Xiaosheng!

Lin Yu’s eyes narrowed in shock, his face aghast.

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t queued up...

He’d gone directly to meet him!

Then who would be the first...
