Chapter 133: Chapter 133: A Conversation_1

"Vice General Manager Wang Ye?" Bai Xiaosheng stood up in surprise.

The sudden arrival of Wang Ye, claiming to fancy his office and wanting it for herself—?

Setting aside what Wang Ye might want with the office, this public display of attitude alone was a clear signal—

A harbinger of ill intent!

Chen Daya subtly tried to give Bai Xiaosheng a meaningful look.

But clearly, subtle communication wasn’t Chen Daya’s forte... Bai Xiaosheng didn’t get it.

"Manager Bai, I would like to have a word with you in private."

Wang Ye, sensing something, gave Chen Daya a fake smile and gestured to her personal assistant to take everyone out, including Chen Daya. The assistant promptly got the message, escorted the others out, and shut the door from the outside.

A private chat with me?

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the door, then turned his attention to Wang Ye.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, he wasn’t really an enemy of Wang Ye, never had been; his involvement in the Shang-Wang conflict was entirely a misunderstanding.

The instigator of this misunderstanding—Shang Wenshu—had recently been coerced by Bai Xiaosheng into exerting quite a bit of effort over He Yanbing’s matter, which could be considered a retrieval of some interest.

Bai Xiaosheng had never attempted to explain the misunderstanding to Wang Ye because he felt it was unnecessary. Later, as Wu Qiuyan resigned and Li Mingtong went mad, their misunderstandings only deepened.

But due to Bai Xiaosheng’s identity, Wang Ye had not taken any action against him. Instead, as Master Song Kai and District Chief Wu Qibing grew closer to Bai Xiaosheng, Wang Ye’s attitude towards him became more and more polite.

Wang Ye was actually held in a relatively good light in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind; compared to Shang Wenshu, who was too scheming and required careful thought, Wang Ye was different.

Wang Ye was assertive, but straightforward and clear.

Bai Xiaosheng preferred dealing with people of Wang Ye’s temperament.

Just like now, Wang Ye was clearly here to cause trouble.

However, Bai Xiaosheng was curious.

What could possibly be the reason or rationale for Vice General Manager Wang Ye to come and cause trouble for him so suddenly?

"Manager Bai might not be aware, but starting today, I will be joining this project, until the opening event is concluded!" Wang Ye extended her hand, her fingers gliding across the books on the shelf. Checking for and finding no dust on her fingertips, she seemed quite satisfied and twiddled them, "I need an office, and this one is nice. I’ll take it."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"Manager Chen’s office is larger and more comfortable, but since Mrs. Wang likes this one, please take it." Bai Xiaosheng was indifferent.

After all, he hadn’t had time to settle in here, and there wasn’t much of his stuff around.

Wang Ye nodded, "Good! Then you should move out. Of course, it’s not suitable for you to be without an office space, given you’re a manager... The room next to the logistics department is a storeroom, quite spacious once cleared out. You can move in there."

Directly relegated to the storeroom?

Bai Xiaosheng simply smiled again, utterly unconcerned.

His expression caught Wang Ye’s eye, who noticed a fleeting shadow in her gaze.

Usurping the nest, this was a test!

Chen Jiutian told Wang Ye that Bai Xiaosheng was not from the inspection team, but a part of Wang Ye was still not reassured.

If Bai Xiaosheng truly was a member of the inspection team and his identity had been revealed, could he really tolerate such an insult? Surely, he would have shown some kind of evidence to assert his real identity.

Unless... Bai Xiaosheng’s entire persona was a ruse!

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng submit unconditionally, without so much as a word of protest.

Wang Ye began to believe Chen Jiutian’s speculation. This Bai Xiaosheng was indeed not from the inspection team!

Good one, Shang Wenshu, what a clever move! To lay out a path all along, allowing this youngster to pose as a formidable force crossing the river! Even creating opportunities for him to gain the favor of Master Song Kai!

Wang Ye silently cursed Shang Wenshu as a cunning old fox, yet she couldn’t help but admire him. In terms of strategy, Shang Wenshu was superior to herself!

As for Bai Xiaosheng’s relationship with the Lu Family, Chen Jiutian had explained that Bai Xiaosheng was just a classmate of Miss Lu. While surprising, it wasn’t something to be overly concerned about.

Now, as Wang Ye looked at Bai Xiaosheng again, her eyes lacked the caution and friendliness they held before.

"On his first day stationed here, Vice General Manager Wang Ye has already chosen a place, congratulations are in order. I’ll go and have Logistics clear the space right away," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, preparing to leave.

He wasn’t the least bit annoyed by Wang Ye’s arrival, especially since it was clear he had come to pick on him; instead, Bai Xiaosheng was quite pleased.

How could Vice General Manager Wang Ye be here to cause trouble? Clearly, he had come to hand him points for levelling up!

"No rush, let’s have a chat," Wang Ye said, sizing up Bai Xiaosheng.

Even with Shang Wenshu working behind the scenes, this young man had performed far beyond any young talent Wang Ye had ever encountered!

What a pity to cast pearls before swine! Wang Ye lamented.

"You may speak," Bai Xiaosheng said.

"Are you the one Shang Wenshu set up to pose as a member of the inspection team from the group?" Wang Ye suddenly challenged.

Straight to the point!

Bai Xiaosheng remained composed and chuckled, "If you say I am, then I am. If you say I’m not, then I’m not."

Was that an admission?

Wang Ye nodded slightly.

Just for that steadfast composure, this kid had his respect!

Unfortunately, ultimately, he couldn’t work for us. I’m here to finish you off! I hope later on, you can still be this calm!

However, a troubling thought suddenly entered Wang Ye’s mind. If he kept pressuring him, would this Bai Xiaosheng quit and just walk away?

Having achieved what he had so far, Bai Xiaosheng had done enough; leaving now by shaking off the dust wouldn’t be a loss.

But then, wouldn’t he, Wang Ye, fail to complete the task assigned by Chen Jiutian?

This won’t do, I can’t let him leave! I must figure out a way to trap him! Wang Ye thought to himself.

"Alright, you can go now. Tell Chen Daya to get ready, we will go to the main conference room shortly for a general meeting, I have some important matters to announce," Wang Ye said, softening his tone.

Bai Xiaosheng gave him a long, deep look, turned, and walked towards the door, his mind racing.

This is not as simple as it seems!

Why would Wang Ye’s attitude suddenly change so drastically, and why did he try to bluff me into confessing I was an impostor? Could it be that someone familiar with the inspection team told him something?

Someone in a position higher than Wang Ye’s, more familiar with the inspection team?

...

Bai Xiaosheng’s hand was already on the doorknob, yet he paused.

"What’s wrong?" Wang Ye sensed something and asked with a frown.

With a smile, Bai Xiaosheng turned back and casually asked, "Has the young master Chen Feng’s injury gotten any better?"

"Not sure," Wang Ye answered brusquely.

Not sure, not unknowing, and he didn’t even ask who Chen Feng was!

Indeed, it was Chen Jiutian who had sent him!

Bai Xiaosheng understood everything in an instant, smiled without a word, and walked out the door.

Wang Ye frowned as he watched him leave, feeling a sense of unease.

There was something fishy about Bai Xiaosheng’s question just now...

"Damn it, I fell for this kid’s trick!"

Wang Ye cried out in alarm.

He didn’t like playing mind games and using tactics for everything as Shang Wenshu did; he preferred to be straightforward, crushing his opponents. He had been a step slow in reacting just now and had been lured into saying too much by Bai Xiaosheng!

"Such a cunning kid!" Wang Ye couldn’t help grinding his teeth, "He might be younger than Shang Wenshu, but in terms of craftiness, he is second to none!"
