Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Getting Off Halfway to Visit an Old Friend

Shangyun Province, Gaoyun City.

Three days had passed since the shocking investigation turmoil at the Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Headquarters.

Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, the center of eager public attention, had once again quietly vanished from sight.

His whereabouts became a mystery.

It was likely that apart from a few individuals like Xiahou Qi and Chen Yucheng, no one knew where he had gone.

At this moment, thousands of miles away from Linshen, Bai Xiaosheng was strolling down the streets of Gaoyun City.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were following behind him.

While Gaoyun was not the capital city, it was the most economically powerful city in Shangyun Province.

But this place was not their intended destination.

They had disembarked from the car halfway through their journey.

"Xiaosheng, are we going to see Shang Wenshu, Mr. Shang, now?" Lin Weiwei asked.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Shangyun Province’s regional industrial lead, Shang Wenshu, was an old friend of Bai Xiaosheng.

Furthermore, it was said that Bai Xiaosheng once worked for his company.

Lin Weiwei thought this matter both novel and amusing.

After all, when Bai Xiaosheng first arrived at Zhongjing Media, he was the deputy general manager, a young and promising man with a very high starting point.

So much so that Lin Weiwei couldn’t even imagine what it would be like for Bai Xiaosheng to be an employee.

That Shang Wenshu, not only was he an old friend of Bai Xiaosheng, but during Bai Xiaosheng’s sprint towards headquarters, he had also made no small effort to help.

Unselfish, at that.

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng truly treated him as a friend, and he too was a person who valued past connections.

This time, acting on a whim, Bai Xiaosheng had led them off the car just to meet with Shang Wenshu and catch up on old times.

It had already been more than two years since they last saw each other.

"It’s not just for the sake of catching up," Bai Xiaosheng told the two, "Our destination this trip is based on clues provided by Guo Yunxin, Sun Youhe, and others, which directly point to another one of Shen Peishen’s trusted subordinates. But along the way, I felt the need to take a moment to really think about our next moves. After all, this time our opponent is Shen Peishen!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression grew somewhat solemn.

They had already had a taste of Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s tactics.

Even in adversity, he could turn a passive position into an active one and gain a profit.

"Such an opponent is very difficult to deal with. One misstep and we may be the ones at a disadvantage," Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Xiaosheng, could Shen Peishen already be plotting against us, taking some action?" couldn’t help asking Lin Weiwei.

"The plotting is a given. Immediate action? I don’t think so!" Lei Ying answered for Bai Xiaosheng this time.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, "Yes, this time we’ve caused quite a commotion, becoming the focus of the entire Affairs Department."

"Making a move against us while we’re in the spotlight would be too costly."

"Plus, with Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe carrying the markings of Shen Peisheng, once they are brought down and Shen Peisheng moves against us, public opinion will be fierce. Even he would find it difficult to silence the many voices! If his future goal is the presidency of the Greater China Region, or an even higher position, he’ll want to be even more mindful of his reputation."

"Moreover, although they suffered significant losses on their side, Lin Yu profited from it, so they actually have earnings from Lin Yu’s end."

"Without suffering a severe loss, revenge isn’t something to rush at the moment."

After Bai Xiaosheng’s analysis, Lei Ying nodded in agreement.

What’s more, from the perspective of outsiders, Elder Xia’s health was seemingly improving by the day, which was also a source of apprehension for Shen Peisheng.

"But what if!" Lin Weiwei insisted.

"What if?" Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Lin Weiwei and smiled, "Yes, we can’t guarantee that there isn’t one chance in ten thousand!"

"But if Shen Grand Affairs Officer makes his move, I, Bai Xiaosheng, will follow suit!"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke casually, but his confidence was palpable, exuding a bold spirit.

Such a statement instantly made Lin Weiwei realize her worries were completely unnecessary.

Her brother Xiaosheng, when facing others, when has he ever been at a disadvantage!

Bai Xiaosheng was also a Senior Affairs Officer, and right now Elder Xia’s health was stable, plus there was the strong support of Chen Yucheng.

They were the ones not to be trifled with!

As Lin Weiwei came to this conclusion, she felt much more assured.

"However, Weiwei, your caution is indeed correct," Bai Xiaosheng said seriously. "I should also think about from which aspects Shen Peisheng would make his move against us. As the saying goes, ’better safe than sorry.’"

The group casually chatted as they walked along the bustling streets.

Gaoyun City, much like Zhongjing, had a lot in common, whether regarding urban planning or the level of prosperity, making it hard to tell them apart even as one walked among them.

In today’s fast-paced urbanization, unless there is a significant north-south spread with obvious greenery differences, the general architecture of the cities no longer had any differences, which likely accounted for what is known as urban homogenization.

Seeing a tall Business Tower in the distance, Bai Xiaosheng pointed and said with a smile, "That’s it."

The office location of Shang Wenshu—Dacheng Group Headquarters!

Dacheng Group was one of the top real estate companies in Shangyun Province and the core pillar of Zhenbei Group’s entire industrial presence in the province.

Speaking of which, Zhenbei Group had industries in all provinces in the Greater China Region, especially the mainland ones, but the industrial layouts were biased.

In economically strong coastal provinces, each province would have a large number of group enterprises, with two to three, or even more, ranking within the top ten enterprises in the province.

For the central provinces, the groups were noticeably fewer, and it wasn’t uncommon to see just one pillar enterprise, with the rest being small and medium-sized enterprises. One strong, many weak.

That was the situation in Shangyun.

The reason why Bai Xiaosheng was grateful for Shang Wenshu’s past support was not only his selflessness but also because the opponent might have been wary of the headquarters and didn’t dare to put in full effort, while Shang Wenshu fully supported him.

At the Dacheng Group, in the lobby on the first floor.

Two young, pretty receptionists sat stiffly at the front desk, not daring to slack in the slightest.

All because standing beside the front desk, there was a girl not much older than them.

The girl was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with fair skin, an attractive face, and a figure that would make her peers envious and the opposite sex stare.

Especially those legs wrapped in black stockings; it was hard for anybody to take their eyes off them.

Her name was Li Shiyue, one of Shang Wenshu’s secretaries.

At that moment, Li Shiyue craned her neck, her bright eyes watching the entrance, waiting for someone.

Before the guest arrived, Li Shiyue’s phone rang.

She answered in a hurry.

"Shiyue, has Mr. Lei arrived yet?"

From the other end, a pleasantly charming female voice spoke.

"Zhao, not yet," Li Shiyue replied truthfully.

"Keep an eye out, as soon as he arrives, tell me right away!" the voice from the phone instructed. "I have just finished setting up the banquet with Mr. Shang, and I will be back at the company immediately. In fact, according to the scheduled time, it won’t take but a few minutes."

The voice paused for a moment, then continued, "This time, Dacheng Group’s friction with the Zhang Family, Mr. Lei is coming to mediate. Mr. Shang has high hopes. However, you don’t need to be too nervous, no need for any welcome ceremony; Mr. Lei is Mr. Shang’s friend, not an outsider."

"Don’t worry, Zhao," Li Shiyue said anxiously. "If Mr. Lei arrives early, I’ll take good care of him."

After hanging up the phone, Li Shiyue looked up towards the entrance again.

Her expression grew more solemn as she was clear about the time arrangements.

At ten, Mr. Lei would arrive.

At eleven, the Zhang Family people would come.

At that time, an important meeting would take place.

Should there be any issues with the meeting, failing to reach an agreement,

Dacheng Group would be in peril.

Furthermore, the entire group’s industry within the province would face a terrible upheaval!
