Chapter 1236: Chapter 1198: A Mouthful of Old Blood_2

"Xiahou Qi is in critical condition and they won’t come back. I speak with authority, and they don’t listen, forcing me to wield the stick of power, huh! It’s true what they say—a new official always takes strong actions upon taking office. It never fails to hold true!" Shen Peisheng said angrily, "A video conference, then! Once I make a formal decision, let’s see if they dare to defy the order!"

Someone chuckled softly to one side.

"In the video conference, consider them in attendance. With all the Senior Affairs Officers present, once a majority passes a resolution, the minority must comply. Otherwise, it’s considered insubordination, which even a Senior Affairs Officer can’t afford to bear!"

Fang Beijun, who chuckled, reminisced, "I still remember an Affairs Officer surnamed Gao who refused to comply. Xiahou Qi initiated the disciplinary procedure, and after three times, he directly stripped that Senior Affairs Officer of his power. Many years have passed, but the memory lingers. It would indeed be quite a spectacle if we stripped four Senior Affairs Officers of their power at once!"

Fang Beijun seemed to be enjoying the spectacle.

This Fang Beijun, who used to rank below me, wasn’t so at ease before, always addressing me as "Sir Shen" whenever we met.

Now, his status has changed, and so has his attitude!

Shen Peisheng glanced at him and snorted coldly, "You don’t need to test my rationality. I can keep my cool and won’t act against four Senior Affairs Officers out of short-term triumph. I’ve only been acting president for a few days; issuing such orders would be looking for trouble and it will impact my impression at the headquarters!"

"It’s best if you understand that," Fang Beijun said with a smile.

This collaboration between the two had not only changed the form of address from "Sir Shen," but even the addition of the word "you" was discretionary, based on mood.

A small man getting cocky!

Shen Peisheng cursed under his breath.

However, right now, he did indeed need to spend a "honeymoon period" with Fang Beijun, unable to offend him.

Once at the headquarters, even running errands for others is more prestigious than being down below!

Shen Peisheng sighed again.

"However, I will take down Bai Xiaosheng first, then force Li Haofeng to resign by himself! Leaving Zheng Honghu and Xu Youruo isolated, dividing them, breaking them down, that’s what I’m really interested in!" Shen Peisheng said with a cold smile.

Fang Beijun smiled quietly on the side, "Excellent!"

"Then teacher, when do you think we should hold the meeting? Today..." Lin Yu asked.

"Not today, let’s do it tomorrow," Fang Beijun suggested, "We’ve notified them of the time, we should play by the rules!"

Haste doesn’t bring success.

"Tomorrow afternoon then," Shen Peisheng said.

The original notice was for tomorrow afternoon; just exercise patience for the time being.

While they were settling on the "Zhang Liang strategy" here, Bai Xiaosheng was already discussing the "ladder over the wall" strategy with Li Haofeng and the others via video conference.

"Sheng, you asked us to refuse to return but agreed to the video conference. You need to be clear, that counts as us attending the meeting!"

"If we attend the meeting and they pass any resolution on their side with a majority, we can’t refuse to comply. Otherwise, it’s resisting the decision."

"Don’t assume that being Senior Affairs Officers means we can do anything without restraint. There was once a Senior Affairs Officer surnamed Gao who was punished by Elder Xia for exactly this kind of thing. There’s a precedent!"

Li Haofeng reminded Bai Xiaosheng.

"Indeed, they might not dare to take down all four of us at once, but if they confront us one by one, they could possibly break us down bit by bit. When the time comes, I’m afraid you will be the first in line to face difficulties!" Zheng Honghu said.

"Right now, all four of us are in a desperate struggle. Without what you provided, even in one or two months, we might not achieve much. But because of what you uncovered, our timeframe is much shorter. However, even then, I estimate we’ll need another ten days to a half month at the shortest. It can’t be any less!" Xu Youruo also advised in a serious tone.

Clearly, Shen Peisheng would not give them ten days to a half a month to continue their investigations.

The current predicament felt suffocating.

Bai Xiaosheng appeared to have an idea; he wasn’t anxious but merely scoffed coldly, "Then from now on, we’ll need to change our strategy!"

Li Haofeng and the others couldn’t help but be taken aback. Seeing Bai Xiaosheng seemingly had a plan, they all looked inquiringly at him.

"Let’s hear it!" Li Haofeng urged.

Bai Xiaosheng calmly began—

"First of all, we need to clarify our work. There’s only one principle—to focus on the major issues while letting go of the minor ones! Concentrate our resources and manpower to target the people most important to Shen Peisheng. The rest, we can file away for now and not touch!"

"Secondly, we have a ten-day deadline. Within these ten days, we’ll take down as many ’big fish’ as we can! We’ll do our utmost to weaken Shen Peisheng’s influential power!"

With Bai Xiaosheng putting it this way, after pondering for a moment, Li Haofeng and the others began nodding in agreement.

Just trying to capture them all in one fell swoop isn’t realistic anymore, nor does it suit the current situation!

A targeted approach to maximize damage is the key!

"It’s just that we might not get ten days from Shen Peisheng!" Xu Youruo held firm in his view, "Once the video conference starts tomorrow, we might only be able to hold out for... four or five days if we resist! Only half the time, and we will all suffer heavy consequences! It would benefit Shen Peisheng instead!"

Li Haofeng and Zheng Honghu also frowned at the same time.

It was unavoidable.

Tomorrow’s video conference was a huge problem.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

"The video conference won’t happen tomorrow! Leave it to me!"

Li Haofeng and the others looked on, curious about what Bai Xiaosheng had planned.

"Are you saying that you want us to find an excuse to not attend the video conference tomorrow?" Li Haofeng wondered.
