Chapter 1128: Chapter 1122: I Give You 2 Choices

Bai Xiaosheng was escorted all the way into the office by Wang Ziyu, with Yang Dasheng busying himself back and forth, arranging for people to bring fruits and serve good tea.

After everything was settled, Yang Dasheng asked for Wang Ziyu’s permission. Upon receiving approval, he prepared to leave the place.

A place rife with potential trouble was best avoided. One careless move could invite disaster.

Well aware that when big shots get angry, the little guys suffer.

With Sun Ercheng’s lesson learned, Yang Dasheng decided it was best to keep his distance.

However, when Yang Dasheng was about to leave, Bai Xiaosheng asked Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to follow him out because he wanted to have a private chat with Wang Ziyu.

In fact, before coming, Bai Xiaosheng and his group had already planned out their roles.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were to find an opportunity to chat with the general manager of Tianyu Media and coax some information out of them.

Now was the perfect opportunity.

Yang Dasheng led Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying away and closed the door from the outside.

Now, there were only Bai Xiaosheng and Wang Ziyu left in the office, which was rather peaceful.

Wang Ziyu smiled as he personally poured tea for Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng looked around and praised, "Mister Wang, your office is indeed tidy and minimalist."

"Where, where, Senior Affairs Officer Sheng is too kind," Wang Ziyu said with a forced smile on his face, though inwardly he sneered.

What minimalist? It was simply because the decorations had been smashed, and later, he had someone clean out the broken remnants.

The place was bare.

"I wonder what important business brings Senior Affairs Officer Sheng to my humble abode?" Wang Ziyu passed over the tea with a smile.

"Just taking a casual look around, does Mister Wang not welcome me?"

Bai Xiaosheng picked up the tea, sniffed its aroma, and praised, "Excellent tea! The Silver Needles stand upright, intertwined from top to bottom, the soup color is clear and pure, the fragrance yellow and bright. Supreme Baihao Yinzhen!"

"Your presence is always welcome," Wang Ziyu said with a contrite smile, "As for tea, Senior Affairs Officer Sheng is truly a connoisseur! But how can my humble tea compare to those at headquarters."

"It’s just that—" Wang Ziyu chuckled, "Senior Affairs Officer Sheng deals with myriad affairs daily, so this casual visit... seems a bit amusing!"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "Hmm, to tell you the truth, it wasn’t just a casual visit to your Gandong."

Wang Ziyu listened attentively.

"My first stop was Shangyun!" Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Ziyu, "Shang Wenshu, the person in charge of the industry in the Shangyun Provincial Region, is an old friend of mine. I went to check on him."

Wang Ziyu’s expression showed slight surprise.

But that was only to an outsider’s eyes.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze was sharp and incisive. Even without Red Lotus’s help, his level of analyzing microexpressions was advanced.

Wang Ziyu had at least concealed his shock and an epiphany of sorts.

Perhaps he knew I was in Shangyun and even that I helped Shang Wenshu out of trouble, but not that Shang Wenshu was my friend.

So Bai Xiaosheng thought.

At the same time, he was also guessing the purpose of my visit!

Well, keep guessing, guess what I’ll say to you next, Wang Ziyu!

Bai Xiaosheng remained composed, a slight smile hooking at the corner of his mouth.

"So he’s your friend!" Wang Ziyu nodded.

"When I met with Mr. Shang, I discovered, wow, that place was bustling, practically on the verge of crisis. Guess what, the illustrious Zhang Family of several provinces actually went head-to-head with him," Bai Xiaosheng said slowly and deliberately while sipping his tea.

"I’m aware of the incident. The problem originated from one of our subsidiaries. Mister Shang has asked for my help, but as you know, even though I am responsible for the provincial industry, I ultimately don’t have the authority to mobilize all of the subsidiaries under my control to initiate a trade war," Wang Ziyu said.

"You did the right thing," Bai Xiaosheng set down his teacup with a smile, "I have the authority, and naturally, when I encounter such a situation, I have to intervene!"

"How did you manage to mediate the conflict between the Zhang Family and Mr. Shang?" Wang Ziyu asked.

What puzzled him even more about this matter was—

Why did the Zhang Family, disregarding their interests, suddenly turn their backs, paying no heed to the benefits and face offered by Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng!

This was tantamount to messing up Shen Peisheng’s plans!

And the Zhang Family held significant power, difficult to shake.

Unless Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng could be promoted to president of the Greater China Region, otherwise, he really couldn’t do anything to them!

"The Zhang Family, by chance, is another friend of mine," Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "So it’s quite the coincidence. That’s why I came to Gandong. Yesterday, I also attended a wine tasting at the Zhang Family."

The Zhang Family was also acquainted with Bai Xiaosheng!

And it seemed the relationship between them was profound!

Who knows what Bai Xiaosheng promised the other side, but combined with the relationship factor, it naturally trumped Wang Ziyu’s side!

Wang Ziyu had an "aha" moment, and at the same time, a weight in his heart was lifted.

Otherwise, when Bai Xiaosheng arrived, he would have thought it was all directed at him!

You see, Bai Xiaosheng had already dealt with Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe!

Not even Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng could stop him!

This Bai Xiaosheng was simply a harbinger of doom, a jinx!

If he really started investigating him, then he would be in danger!

So thought Wang Ziyu to himself.

Thus, upon hearing of Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival, a sense of dread had abruptly filled his heart.

It was genuine fear.

Learning that Bai Xiaosheng appeared in Gandong because of the Zhang Family, Wang Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng is here to visit friends, which really means just stopping by my place on the way. In that case, I am more than happy to welcome him, very welcome indeed!" exclaimed Wang Ziyu with enthusiasm.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he gently lifted his tea, took a small sip, savored the taste, and nodded.

"I am indeed visiting friends, but, do you know, Wang? My trip to Shangyun was actually just a stopover!"

"Oh?" Wang Ziyu’s eyes narrowed in curiosity.

"In fact, the place I really intended to come is right here!"

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Wang Ziyu, and between his smiles, he revealed a mouthful of neat, pearly-white teeth.

"Guo Yunxin mentioned that you were one of their people and in charge of a significant portion, trusted by someone far more than he was! I’ve come to see for myself the style of Mister Wang."

The moment before, Wang Ziyu had just relaxed, but at hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, he found himself staring at Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, his teeth sharp as a wolf’s, and his smile.

His entire body tensed up like a cat with raised fur, goosebumps all over, and a cold chill ran straight up his spine, hitting the back of his head!

Wang Ziyu suddenly sat up straight, his eyes wide with shock, staring at Bai Xiaosheng.

He had never anticipated that Bai Xiaosheng would be so direct, so blunt, with just a few casual remarks he went straight to the point, laying his cards on the table!

"Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng, that joke you’re playing... it’s a bit too much!"

Wang Ziyu gritted his teeth in silence, forced a couple of squeezes, not managing to bring a smile to his face, just stretching his mouth as if laughing.

"Of course, those words come just from Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe. Those two are nothing decent, perhaps they had a score to settle with you, Wang Ziyu. Knowing they could not escape their sins, they might as well lash out in their final moments, which is quite possible." Bai Xiaosheng picked up his tea and leisurely took a sip, smiling as he spoke.

Wang Ziyu was taken aback.

The conversation had been laid out in the open, made clear!

He had expected Bai Xiaosheng to be relentlessly pressing, with cutting words!

But was Bai Xiaosheng... explaining on his behalf?

Wang Ziyu was a bit confused, and didn’t know how to continue the conversation.

"Yes, yes... I do have some history with this Guo Yunxin. Back in the day when we underwent assessment together, he..."

Wang Ziyu mumbled indecisively, trying to play along with Bai Xiaosheng’s narrative.

At the same time, he took a moment to collect himself and began to rapidly concoct plans in his mind for how to deceive and evade in the conversation to come.

"It’s not important anymore, Guo Yunxin has already been put away." Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand to stop him from continuing and chuckled, "Besides, we Senior Affairs Officers, if we don’t have evidence and only rely on one-sided claims, how can we directly hold an executive to account? Wouldn’t that mean we have too much power?"

Bai Xiaosheng was excusing him again?

Wang Ziyu was somewhat dumbfounded, nodded, and forced a laugh, "Yes, Senior Affairs Officer Xiaosheng is wise!"

He inwardly relaxed again.

However, he grew more suspicious of Bai Xiaosheng—

"What is this young Senior Affairs Officer really here for, startling me with all these shocks?"

"Why does he keep explaining for me, sparing me the need to make excuses for myself?"

"A truly enigmatic man, what is his real purpose?"

For the first time, Wang Ziyu felt his thoughts were muddled, slightly off-kilter.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Wang Ziyu, "Wise? That word is a bit strong. However, I simply believe that one should perform their duties diligently in their position and not arbitrarily accuse people based on hearsay."

"Yes, yes."

Wang Ziyu had fallen into the rhythm of Bai Xiaosheng’s conversation, nodding like a pecking chicken.

In the past year and more of experience, Bai Xiaosheng’s understanding of the human heart and conversation pacing had grown to rival his control and observation of micro-expressions!

Now, it was time to continue the conversation!

"So, I’ve brought with me—conclusive evidence regarding you!" Bai Xiaosheng said warmly, smiling as he looked into Wang Ziyu’s eyes, "Now, I give you two choices."

"Go keep Guo Yunxin company."

"Or work with me!"
