Chapter 305: Chapter 305 Are You Trying to Scheme Against Me?_1

"Mr. Bai, what is this supposed to mean? Are you playing games with me?" Shang Wanwan stood up too, her tone very cold, seemingly displeased.

Behind her sunglasses, her beautiful eyes looked at Bai Xiaosheng’s somewhat cool gaze, a flicker of unease apparent.

This man, with his mix of truth and deception, caused her heart to flutter uncontrollably.

"Just a little joke, Miss Shang won’t mind, will she?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled, "By the way, I need to head back to the company to announce this good news to Mr. Song, so please excuse me."

With a warm smile, Bai Xiaosheng stood up, walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and slightly turned his head to ask, "Miss Shang, do you ever have regrets about the things you do? What are you like when you have regrets?"

"Huh?"

Shang Wanwan was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Bai Xiaosheng’s sudden inquiry.

"It’s nothing, I was just curious," Bai Xiaosheng let out a light laugh as he briskly walked away.

"What a weirdo!" Shang Wanwan’s assistant Xiao Mai couldn’t help but mutter under her breath.

Shang Wanwan watched Bai Xiaosheng leave, his silhouette disappearing from her sight.

Behind her sunglasses, her gaze held a trace of shock.

It was just a moment ago that Bai Xiaosheng’s casual remark sent a shiver through her.

Since becoming famous, it had been a long time since she had felt this way.

"This Bai Xiaosheng..." Shang Wanwan felt a bit unnerved and called to her assistant, "Xiao Mai, let’s go!"

She said they should go, but Shang Wanwan seemed to have thought of something and didn’t move. Instead, she took out her phone, opened WeChat, and found Chen Changqing.

After thinking for a moment, she typed a few words, read them carefully, and then, hesitatingly, chose not to send them. She deleted them one by one.

"Shang, are you okay? Is something wrong?" Xiao Mai asked with concern.

She had never seen Shang Wanwan in such a conflicted state before.

"It’s nothing, let’s go," Shang Wanwan put away her phone and this time she actually moved to leave.

Xiao Mai hastily followed behind.

...

Bai Xiaosheng returned to Zhongjing Media and went straight to Song Changkong’s office.

After seeing Song Changkong, Bai Xiaosheng recounted the agreement he had reached with Shang Wanwan.

Increase the price by twenty percent and, apart from the most demanding of her requests, agree to all her conditions.

Song Changkong silently nodded.

If the deal could be signed on these terms, he would accept it.

"Mr. Bai, there shouldn’t be a problem this time, right?" Song Changkong couldn’t help but say.

The mess up last time had really bad repercussions!

Bai Xiaosheng smiled but didn’t respond. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Song, has Mr. Chen reported to you yet?"

This question caught Song Changkong off guard.

Chen Changqing had indeed visited him in the past couple of days to report, but it was about the game department’s plan for the following month and a request for departmental funding.

Not one word about Shang Wanwan was mentioned by Chen Changqing!

Chen Changqing wasn’t one to give up easily! How come there was no reaction from him this time?!"

Song Changkong frowned, realizing he had neglected this detail.

Chen Changqing was competitive. After losing to Bai Xiaosheng once, his mood turned gloomy for several days, even in front of him.

This time, Chen Changqing should have been very proactive. Why was there complete silence instead?!

Seeing Song Changkong’s expression, Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

"Why not call Mr. Chen over and ask him? Miss Shang told me that Mr. Chen had spoken to her, so I think he should have gained something on his end," Bai Xiaosheng suggested.

Song Changkong nodded and immediately called Chen Changqing.

Bai Xiaosheng watched quietly; he had a precise grasp of the personalities of both Chen Changqing and Song Changkong.

Chen Changqing was not reporting the situation, and Song Changkong had no clue. Surely, it was bothering him inside."

"Mr. Chen, could you come over now? Yes, to my office. I have something to discuss with you and Mr. Bai."

Song Changkong hung up the phone.

Less than ten minutes passed, and his office door was knocked on.

After five rings, Chen Changqing pushed the door open.

"Mr. Song, Mr. Bai," Chen Changqing entered and greeted each of them.

However, when Chen Changqing spoke to Song Changkong, his voice was very calm, but his tone was a bit heavier when addressing Bai Xiaosheng.

"Come, take a seat," Song Changkong said with a smile, beckoning him over.

He and Bai Xiaosheng were now sitting in the sofa area, opposite each other.

Chen Changqing walked over and sat down in an independent armchair on the other side.

The seating arrangement of the three men resembled a standoff between three kingdoms.

"Just now, Mr. Bai met with Shang Wanwan, and the negotiation is almost finished. The contract will be signed the day after tomorrow," Song Changkong said with a smile, carefully observing Chen Changqing’s expression.

"Oh, Mr. Bai is quite efficient. This is one aspect where you outshine me. I’ve only met Miss Wanwan once, and we haven’t agreed on anything," Chen Changqing said calmly with a smile.

Lies!

Almost simultaneously, in their hearts, Bai Xiaosheng and Song Changkong dismissed his statement.

"We haven’t agreed on anything, and this is your reaction? Since when did you become so nonchalant?"

Both Bai Xiaosheng and Song Changkong, one a young fox, the other an old fox, possessed exceptional skills in observing words and expressions as if seeing through fire.

Chen Changqing was no less intelligent, but he had hardly ever played such subtle games before. And given his background and status, there was no need.

Thus, it was inevitable that he was neglectful.

...

What is Chen Changqing up to? There was a hint of doubt in Song Changkong’s eyes.

"Don’t be so modest, Mr. Chen. You haven’t agreed on anything...," Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh, "but I’ve heard that you offered her, Miss Wanwan, a base price!"

A single sentence.

Song Changkong’s face changed drastically.

Chen Changqing offered a base price?

His first thought was: No wonder Bai Xiaosheng failed at the last contract signing!

Due to his suspicion of Chen Changqing’s abnormal behavior, Song Changkong almost instinctively believed this claim, and his complexion immediately turned ugly.

Usually, he would allow the usual conflicts and fights to play out as long as they didn’t make a huge mess at Zhongjing Media that he couldn’t ignore.

But a betrayal of this nature, allowing a lowball agreement to destroy a nearly completed deal, was intolerable!

When Chen Changqing saw Song Changkong’s complexion, his expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect Bai Xiaosheng to suddenly become aggressive, nor did he anticipate that Song Changkong would instantly believe it without hesitation!

"Did Shang Wanwan tell you this? This woman is cunning and manipulative, seeking to maximize her benefits between you and me, figuring out our bottom line is not surprising. But you believed her just like that?" Chen Changqing said, "Mr. Bai, you’re being too hasty!"

Chen Changqing explained on the spot.

An explanation is just a cover-up!

In Song Changkong’s eyes, the suspicion deepened.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled silently.

He had given Chen Changqing an eye-opener.

It was also an indirect warning. If Chen Changqing knew what was good for him, he would back off.

Otherwise...

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Chen Changqing and suddenly felt certain that he would not back down!

After all, this time, Chen Changqing and Shang Wanwan had repeatedly toyed with him, ready to undermine his reputation and win control over the film department.

It could also give Song Changkong an excuse to take over the new media department!

A single arrow hitting multiple targets, could Chen Changqing really pull back at the brink?

Bai Xiaosheng scratched his face.

He didn’t believe it!

"Anyway, I’ve given you the chance! If I manage to sign the contract smoothly the day after tomorrow, then let it be. Otherwise..."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he looked at Chen Changqing.

I will make sure your downfall is embarrassing!

You think you can outsmart me?
