Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 1264 - 1215: I’m on Vacation!

Chapter 1264: Chapter 1215: I’m on Vacation!

Shen Peishen didn’t ask for help from anyone, he personally pushed open the door of the inner room and stepped in quietly.

The Affairs Officers behind him, who were already loyal to Xiahou Qi, were now heading to meet the respected Xiahou Qi, so they were also tiptoeing, fearing that any loud noise might disturb the patient.

After entering the inner room, about ten meters across, there was the isolation ward.

At this moment, standing in front of the door of the isolation ward, was a person with their back to everyone.

Despite the slight noise from people entering, that person didn’t turn their head.

Like a wooden statue.

Shen Peishen and Lin Yu identified the person immediately, and those Affairs Officers were no strangers either—

Bai Xiaosheng!

Shen Peishen led the group towards him.

As they got closer, Bai Xiaosheng turned around.

His face was stern, his eyes exceedingly sharp and cold!

Even those Affairs Officers couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts upon seeing his gaze.

"Bai Xiaosheng looks like he wants to devour someone. He wouldn’t lose his composure and lay hands on his teacher, would he?"

Lin Yu was startled and even stood to the right of her teacher, Shen Peishen, as a precaution.

Shen Peishen, as if oblivious to Bai Xiaosheng’s piercing gaze, instead stepped forward briskly to stand alongside him.

Before speaking, Shen Peishen first gazed through the glass window at Xiahou Qi, who lay on the bed in the ward, for a few seconds.

Only then did Shen Peishen turn to look at Bai Xiaosheng, speaking assertively, "Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, you’ve finally returned!"

Bai Xiaosheng, as if turning a deaf ear, showed no reaction to Shen Peishen’s words.

Shen Peishen looked at the person in the sick ward, his voice slow and steady, but ensuring that every word was clearly heard by everyone present.

"Elder Xia spared no effort for our Greater China Region, exhausting himself to the bone. Despite his chronic illness, he continued to work tirelessly day after day. Our earnest advice was to no avail. In the end, Elder Xia collapsed at his post."

"It’s heartbreaking!"

Shen Peishen performed a gesture of pounding his fist in frustration.

"If I had known it would come to this, I, Shen Peishen, would have stopped him, no matter how important the meeting was, and never allow Elder Xia to reach this point!"

Shen Peishen’s face was filled with deep sorrow, his eyes somewhat moist, as he emotionally looked through the glass at Xiahou Qi inside.

"For decades, Elder Xia has been my leader, my old comrade. But this time, I did not expect..."

"Heaven is unjust, good people suffer so!"

Shen Peishen’s continuous outbursts were full of emotion and sincerity.

Of course, his performance was not to move Bai Xiaosheng, but entirely for those Affairs Officers.

Whether Bai Xiaosheng believed it or not was of little importance.

As for whether Bai Xiaosheng would show him disrespect, utter disrespectful words, or even lay hands on him.

Shen Peishen didn’t care in the least!

In fact, he was even somewhat eager for it.

Disrespectful words aside, if a Senior Affairs Officer were to lay hands on the acting president, it would mean the end of his career!

Therefore, Shen Peishen was also somewhat bored with Bai Xiaosheng, provoking him.

Relying on his decades of understanding of human nature, Shen Peishen began to calculate his approach towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Little did he know that this young man, with Red Lotus’s help, was no less studious of human nature than he...

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze penetrated the glass window, fixed on the figure of Xiahou Qi in the sick bed.

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be reminiscing about the past, his eyes vacant. His whole persona appeared somewhat lost.

Shen Peishen looked at him and sighed softly, "This investigation of yours was a scheme meticulously planned by Elder Xia behind the scenes. Bai Xiaosheng, you have achieved significant success outside, thanks to Elder Xia’s full support. Regrettably, upon your triumphant return, Elder Xia..."

Bai Xiaosheng remained silent.

Shen Peishen once again looked toward the sick ward, murmuring, "I am temporarily taking on the duties of the president of the Greater China Region, aspiring to continue Elder Xia’s spirit, and strive to take our Greater China Region to even greater heights. Sheng, the Greater China Region needs young and talented individuals like you, and I need you as well!"

Shen Peishen even patted Bai Xiaosheng on the shoulder.

"Let’s speak outside, Elder Xia needs peace and quiet," Bai Xiaosheng said softly.

After that, he turned around with a stern face and walked out without looking back.

Shen Peishen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the others to follow.

Regardless of what Bai Xiaosheng said or did, Shen Peishen actually preferred to perform in front of the hundred or so people outside.

As these people left, the door to the inner room was closed.

The outer living room and the exterior door were both open, and nearly a hundred people were scattered inside this building, in the corridors and outside.

The Affairs Officers watched as Bai Xiaosheng and Shen Peishen came out, their eyes brightening.

Shen Peishen and his people suddenly realized.

The attention of all these one hundred or so Affairs Officers abruptly focused on Bai Xiaosheng, as if he was their real point of interest.

Seeing this scene, Shen Peishen immediately harbored the thought—

"Bai Xiaosheng cannot stay, his power must be stripped away quickly!"

Standing outside in the "living room", Bai Xiaosheng turned around to look at Shen Peishen, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, his gaze cold as ice.

"Sir Shen, what eloquence!" Bai Xiaosheng sneered, "Just now inside, I was almost moved to death by your rhetoric!"

"But do you really think we are cut off from information!"

Pointing at Shen Peishen’s nose, Bai Xiaosheng spoke sternly—

"It was you, who knew of Elder Xia’s illness, who repeatedly prevented the major meetings, exhausting his health!"

"It was you, who reported to headquarters that Elder Xia was ill, causing headquarters to send people, leading to Elder Xia collapsing in front of them!"

"It was also you, who bribed Wang Mubei, causing Elder Xia to be utterly heartbroken, eventually breaking down!"

"Now you come here, putting on an act of a good man! Do you think you can deceive us all!"

"Pretentious! Hypocrite!"

Bai Xiaosheng is actually cursing Shen Peishen!

Everyone was dumbfounded, and deep down they all gave Bai Xiaosheng a big "respect"!

So cool!

Shen Peishen looked at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief.

All along, Bai Xiaosheng had given him the impression of being even more cunning and difficult to deal with than an old fox!

Even Shen Peishen had to be constantly calculating and dare not be careless!

How come now, Bai Xiaosheng dares to speak such groundless and irreverent words in public!

Is it because Xiahou Qi is lying on the hospital bed, has Bai Xiaosheng gone mad!

Associating it with Bai Xiaosheng’s dull expression and desolate eyes, Shen Peishen was convinced beyond doubt.

For disrespectful remarks towards the CEO, Bai Xiaosheng can be reported for criticism!

Shen Peishen, on the contrary, was even more delighted at being cursed and even secretly prayed, "Bai Xiaosheng, you just do something more outrageous, and that’ll be enough for me to grant you a long vacation!"

The thoughts of Shen Peishen are unknown to others.

His intentions, however, seemed to accidentally align with Bai Xiaosheng’s intention to take leave...

Lin Yu on the side, however, became angered.

"Bai Xiaosheng, do you have no respect for the rules? This is Mr. Shen Peishen, the acting CEO! You are showing no respect for your superiors and insulting the leader!" Lin Yu rebuked.

"What are you!" Bai Xiaosheng coldly looked towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu had never expected to be humiliated by Bai Xiaosheng in public.

"I..."

"You! Relying on someone’s protection, climbing your way up with false achievements, do you really think that your unworthy reputation is unknown to everyone?! A model Affairs Officer? Are you worthy?" Bai Xiaosheng sneered, his insults sharp yet clean, stabbing straight into the other’s heart.

Regardless of past stances, Lin Yu’s strong pride had never changed.

He could not stand to hear these words and his eyes immediately reddened.

"What did you say, say that to me again!" Lin Yu shouted with a fierce voice, advancing to grab Bai Xiaosheng by the collar.

Getting physical with Bai Xiaosheng?

Lei Ying curled her lips in disdain.

Bai Xiaosheng kicked Lin Yu on the shin, Lin Yu tumbled down, then Bai Xiaosheng slapped him across the face.

The slap sounded exceptionally crisp.

Lin Yu fell to the ground, covering his face, completely dumbfounded.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, hitting someone in public!

After recovering, Lin Yu screamed, "You dare to hit me!"

"It was you who started by attacking the supervisor. Shouldn’t I hit you? Believe it or not, according to headquarters’ orders, I can have you dismissed!" Bai Xiaosheng sneered.

Lin Yu’s eyes became even more red, about to act, but then he heard a furious shout, "Stop!"

Sir Shen, who had been ignored until then, now stood with his face full of rage, his hair and beard bristling.

Seeing him, Lin Yu immediately extinguished his anger.

Shen Peishen looked towards Bai Xiaosheng with a dark face.

"Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, what are you trying to do?"

Humiliating him, and then slapping Lin Yu’s face, and also wanting to revoke Lin Yu’s officer rank!

This was simply a slap in Shen Peishen’s face in public.

Had Bai Xiaosheng made up his mind to go down together in mutual destruction?

Although it was a good opportunity to punish Bai Xiaosheng, Shen Peishen was truly filled with anger.

He had envisaged that Bai Xiaosheng would be disrespectful towards him, but he hadn’t expected it to be so excessive.

Both master and disciple were beaten and scolded by someone!

"What do I want to do?" Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "Everyone has seen how hard I’ve worked these days, I’m tired, and I lost control of my emotions."

"Acting CEO Shen, being so kind and benevolent, will surely sympathize with me, right?"

"As for Lin Yu, I reserve the right to pursue the matter!"

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Shen Peishen seriously and said, "I am taking leave!"

Everyone present was taken aback.

Shen Peishen was even more astonished.

Bai Xiaosheng was willingly giving up power to take leave?

Really?

"Can I?!" Bai Xiaosheng asked bluntly.

Shen Peishen ground his full heart of astonishment and resentment and squeezed out a word, "Fine!"

Bai Xiaosheng laughed and walked out with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Nearly a hundred Affairs Officers quickly made way, as if forming a line to see them off.

Bai Xiaosheng strode off without looking back and said to the crowd, "Please continue working hard for the company, and if one day you’re let go, come find me."

This sentence seemed to cast a spell.

Shen Peishen, Lin Yu, and others were astonished to find that the eyes of the Affairs Officers present seemed to simultaneously ignite with a flame!

Had these people been fed some kind of magic potion?

Sir Shen and his disciple, puzzled.
