Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012: I Want to Set a Record!

Lin Yu was completely stunned as if he were a wooden statue.

He felt a scorching anger.

Anger, gloom—these emotions had nowhere to vent, especially under the public’s gaze.

What could he do?

Pointing at Bai Xiaosheng’s nose and cursing, "You bastard actually used fake evidence to make me steal, are you still human, do you have no shame?"

The people around them were already whispering and gesturing to each other.

What they said no longer mattered.

To Lin Yu, everything sounded like mockery, like disdain directed at him!

Lin Yu only felt his face burning, and he didn’t want to stay there for another moment.

Xiahou Qi looked at Bai Xiaosheng, then at Lin Yu, his eyes carrying a profound meaning.

Zheng Honghu’s face was expressionless as he took the report card from Lin Yu’s hands.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze was indifferent.

"Alright, alright, the results are out, congrats to Officer Bai Xiaosheng for becoming the Candidate Great Affairs Officer! A round of applause, everyone!"

Shen Peisheng suddenly laughed, leading the clapping.

His gaze lingered on Bai Xiaosheng, eyes clearly filled with gratification and admiration. When he looked at Lin Yu, there was a hint of implication.

Xiahou Qi started clapping, Zheng Honghu began clapping.

Applause swelled around the room.

"Congratulations to Officer Bai Xiaosheng for becoming the Candidate Great Affairs Officer!"

"Truly impressive, Officer Bai Xiaosheng, you will be a model for the new generation in our Affairs Department!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

The flood of congratulations didn’t make Bai Xiaosheng jump for joy.

Everything was as expected, all within the plan.

That day, when he had treated Li Qiushan and others to a meal, what he had instructed Li Qiushan to do was just this—

Prepare some fake evidence as a precaution.

Against whom and why, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t say, and Li Qiushan didn’t ask, but he carried out the instructions faithfully.

The girl arranged by Yu Ying was tricking evidence from Li Qiushan.

In fact, even if Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t cautioned him, Li Qiushan wouldn’t have been fooled!

In today’s era, information is crucial.

Yu Ying didn’t know that Li Qiushan and others’ current boss was Bai Xiaosheng.

If Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to send someone to get evidence, when talking to Li Qiushan and his people, he wouldn’t address them with such unfamiliarity and distance.

Regarding the creation of the fake evidence, Bai Xiaosheng had muttered to Li Qiushan, Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and others—

That what he was doing might be somewhat underhanded.

But those few unanimously thought that Bai Xiaosheng was being too honorable!

Generally, knowing someone was scheming against oneself, not striking first was considered overly kind-hearted.

Having received everyone’s "approval", Bai Xiaosheng no longer felt uneasy.

"Ding! Becoming the Candidate Great Affairs Officer, you have completed the current phase of promotion tasks!"

Red Lotus’s voice echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

"Calculating points."

"You have completed the investigation of one provincial industry leader and one affairs officer, with conclusive evidence ready to be transferred to judicial authorities. The company has decided to fire them and initiate litigation."

"You have earned twenty-nine points, with a total score of ninety-nine points at the affairs officer level, one point away from the senior affairs officer level!"

Bai Xiaosheng was full of anticipation, eagerly waiting, and couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.

To be just one point short...

"It seems that uncovering one provincial industry leader is worth fifteen points, and one affairs officer is worth fourteen points..."

"Damn, just one point short."

Bai Xiaosheng sighed slightly.

There had been times before when he was just one point away from a promotion; being stuck in such a "precise" position was indeed a bit speechless.

However, it was just one point after all, simple.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

After all, the position of Candidate Great Affairs Officer was his!

"Alright, everyone, disperse now!" Shen Peishen raised his voice to the onlookers.

The reason he had taken the lead in announcing Bai Xiaosheng’s success and initiated the applause was to bring an end to this scene as quickly as possible, to get Lin Yu out of there.

Shen Peishen noticed that Lin Yu was on the brink of collapse.

His student had suffered such a heavy blow, and accompanying the applause, his hands seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.

However—

"For Lin Yu, this may also be an opportunity!" Shen Peishen silently thought.

Lin Yu was too honest, too rigid.

Setbacks, failure, and even humiliation could be like the purifying fire of the red lotus, allowing him to be reborn.

"Let’s disperse," Xiahou Qi also said.

He too had noticed that Lin Yu was struggling to cope.

He couldn’t just watch one talent rise to success while letting another fall to ruin.

As everyone left, the chatter continued unabated.

There were those who expressed regret and disappointment for Lin Yu, and even more who praised and marveled at Bai Xiaosheng.

After this event, Bai Xiaosheng was truly a Candidate Great Affairs Officer in every sense.

Even though his authority remained the same, his future was boundless.

This news would surely shake the entire Affairs Department, even causing a stir among regional heads and provincial industrial leaders!

Shen Peishen left with Lin Yu shortly afterward.

Xiahou Qi also rose leisurely to leave, refusing any accompaniment.

Bai Xiaosheng sighed deeply as he watched Lin Yu walk away with a stiff and somewhat dejected gait.

"Lin Yu, from the very start, when I tested you, I was certain that the one who had stolen the evidence had to be from your side!"

"Your eyes gave you away!"

Bai Xiaosheng sighed.

Over the past year, under systematic training, his powers of observation had become incredibly strong.

While he couldn’t see through people like Xiahou Qi or Shen Peishen, or the enigmatic Great Affairs Officers,

when it came to those at the Affairs Officer level, if Bai Xiaosheng put his mind to it, he was almost always spot-on.

"It’s not my fault, I merely dug a hole in my own yard, not intending to trap anyone outside the wall. If someone enters my house to steal and skulk, they can’t blame me."

Bai Xiaosheng silently mused.

"Lin Yu, how could you change like this..."

Bai Xiaosheng felt a twinge of regret.

But then, his smile returned.

After all, he had become a Candidate Great Affairs Officer.

Yu Ying left quietly with the crowd, her cold gaze cutting through the throng to settle on Bai Xiaosheng.

Though she was far away and couldn’t hear what was said, she was exceedingly intelligent.

One guess told her that if there was something wrong with the evidence, then what she had received must have been tampered with.

"Damn you, Bai Xiaosheng, dragging my reputation through the mud!"

Yu Ying laughed bitterly in her rage.

"All day long, I’ve been hunting geese, only to end up getting pecked in the eye!"

"You dare to scheme against me, just you wait!"

Yu Ying left quietly.

In Zheng Honghu’s office, the door opened, and Yu Chang and another assistant led Lu Zhixin, Zhao Beiqing, and Li Qiushan and others out, leaving by another way.

Lu Zhixin and Zhao Beiqing looked defeated like frostbitten eggplants, their steps faltering and weak.

But Li Qiushan and his group left with faces full of joy.

Their great vengeance had been satisfied, how could they not rejoice!

Before leaving, Li Qiushan and the others nodded and smiled wordlessly at Bai Xiaosheng, who returned the gesture with a smile.

The matter was settled.

He had quite unexpectedly gained a group of capable elites, striking it rich!

"Congratulations, Bai Xiaosheng... Candidate Great Affairs Officer."

Zheng Honghu smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, "Now, I wonder, do you have any thoughts to share?"

Bai Xiaosheng was amused.

Thoughts?

If I just find some work to do and earn a single point, I’ll be a Great Affairs Officer today!

Would that be too outrageous?

"I want to set a record!"

Bai Xiaosheng expressed his thoughts sincerely.
