Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Inspection Group Chen Xi_1

"What do you want from me?!" Chen Jiuzheng squinted slightly, his gaze sharp and piercing.

"Mr. Chen, may I have a word in private?" The young man smiled and made a welcoming gesture with his hand.

Chen Jiuzheng scoffed, "What gives you the right to ask me to step aside and speak with you!"

He, Chen Jiuzheng, the esteemed head of the provincial industry, wasn’t someone that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could summon— although he was aware that this young man was no ordinary individual, he wouldn’t be so readily obedient without the man first introducing himself.

The young man was taken aback, then smiled, reaching into his pocket and revealing something to Chen Jiuzheng.

At first, Chen Jiuzheng was indifferent, but his expression changed abruptly when he saw clearly what it was.

It was an identity card for the Group’s inspection team!

This young man was from the inspection team?!

"It’s not convenient to talk here. After you, Mr. Chen," said the young man with a beaming smile.

Chen Jiuzheng put away his dismissive demeanor, nodded immediately, and followed the young man through a series of twists and turns into a small, unoccupied private room.

Once the door was closed, the young man smiled at Chen Jiuzheng, extended his hand, and introduced himself, "Mr. Chen, we’re actually from the same group. My name is Chen Xi, a member of the Group’s second-tier inspection team.

Chen Jiuzheng also offered a smile and shook hands with him.

The inspection team was organized into different levels; the first tier was aligned with the highest echelons of the Group, while the second tier consisted of individuals who could only be recommended by those at the level of the General Manager of the Greater China Region— they were the most reliable and exceptional talents.

Indeed, although this young man appeared youthful, his prospects were immeasurable.

But one thing was clear: once selected for the inspection team, they would sever all ties with their sponsors. To put it bluntly, if they were assigned to investigate their sponsors, these individuals wouldn’t hesitate to act without the slightest leniency, nor would they show any sentimentality.

It’s fair to say that those chosen for the inspection team were inherently upright and unyielding, always putting the Group’s interests first, without personal bias.

"May I know why you wanted to see me, Chen?" Chen Jiuzheng asked with a smile, though he was full of vigilance inside.

The inspection team did not usually reveal their identities; if they did, it indicated they had something important to discuss.

More often than not, they were the kind of people who would "come quietly, leave quietly, wave a sleeve and not take a cloud away" when they departed.

...

That’s how Chen Jiuzheng asked.

With a faint smile and a serious look on his face, Chen Xi said, "Mr. Chen Jiuzheng, the head of the provincial industry for Anjiang Province, you were involved earlier in making inappropriate comments. I have the right to formally warn you!"

Inappropriate comments earlier?

Chen Jiuzheng was stunned, a look of alarm swelling in his eyes.

He indeed had spoken, but there were only three people in the room—himself, Bai Xiaosheng, and Wang Xincheng—and the door to the private room was closed, very well sealed at that!

Could there have been a listening device installed...

No! The Group’s inspection team wasn’t spy-like, they wouldn’t have such equipment.

Moreover, this Chen Xi was a guest, he couldn’t possibly have known what was intended to be said spontaneously, could he?

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about!" Chen Jiuzheng laughed in a forced, casual manner, denying the claim.

He was probing, this person named Chen Xi might be bluffing him.

Chen Xi smiled and pointed at his ear. Chen Jiuzheng looked and saw a tiny invisible Bluetooth earpiece in Chen Xi’s ear!

"I carry two phones, one of which is still in the private room," said Chen Xi calmly.

Chen Jiuzheng suddenly remembered, when he asked them to leave, Chen Xi dawdled, wiping his hands with a towel before setting it down.

At that point, he could’ve dialed one phone from the other and then used the invisible Bluetooth earpiece to pick up the call, effectively turning the phone into a listening device...

So, everything he said, this guy heard it all!

Cunning, far too cunning!

Chen Jiuzheng felt a chill.

"Ahem, those were just drunken rants at the dinner table, not to be taken seriously. Besides, I was only talking, I didn’t actually do anything!" Chen Jiuzheng argued.

"No worries, Mr. Chen, this is merely a friendly reminder," Chen Xi said with a smile. "What I really want to talk to you about is something else."

Is there something else besides this matter?

Mr. Jiuzheng let out a breath and looked at Chen Xi with some suspicion.

What else could there be?

"It’s about Mr. Bai Xiaosheng," said Chen Xi seriously, "Please do not disturb this gentleman’s work any longer!"

Mr. Jiuzheng was bracing for what he thought would be a very important issue.

Yet, after Chen Xi said just that, there was nothing more?!

Just this matter?

Mr. Jiuzheng waited for a long time for a follow-up, staring blankly at Chen Xi.

A member of the inspection team, willing to expose their identity, just to tell him not to bother Bai Xiaosheng?!

Incredible!

Also, what exactly does that mean?!

Is the inspection team investigating Bai Xiaosheng, or does it mean... behind Bai Xiaosheng, there’s someone with such reach that they can send a message through the inspection team...

Mr. Jiuzheng was startled by the latter thought.

But then, he shook his head in secret; that’s impossible!

He didn’t know about the possibility for a general manager in the Greater China Region, but even a regional industry head couldn’t possibly have dealings with an inspection team!

"What do you mean by this?" Mr. Jiuzheng asked cautiously.

Chen Xi just smiled and did not answer.

"Mr. Chen, I have said all I needed to, goodbye."

Having said this, Chen Xi turned around, opened the door, and left.

Mr. Jiuzheng walked out the door, staring blankly as the figure vanished from sight.

His brows instantly knotted in confusion, his expression changing in many ways but finding no resolution.

"That Bai Xiaosheng, he’s not simple at all! I hope it’s just the inspection team looking into him..." Mr. Jiuzheng murmured.

...

In a corner unseen by Mr. Jiuzheng, Chen Xi took out his mobile phone, opened an app, and marked a task as completed.

They, too, received task orders, some of which were quite odd and unusual.

For example, this one, "Warn the person in charge of Anjiang Province to cease further disturbances toward Bai Xiaosheng," was most suitable for Chen Xi, so he had taken the task.

"That Bai Xiaosheng, he’s not simple at all!" Chen Xi muttered under his breath.

With the mission accomplished, he was ready to leave.

About Bai Xiaosheng, following the rules, he wouldn’t ask another question.

At this moment.

Bai Xiaosheng and Wang Xincheng were still in the private room, chatting casually and had called back Song Yiming, Lin Weiwei, and Chen Changqing to join them.

Bai Xiaosheng probably had no idea that a member of the inspection team had taken the risk of revealing their identity just to warn Mr. Jiuzheng on his behalf.

Chen Xi returned to the room with a smile, appearing as the same naive newcomer.

...

Mr. Jiuzheng left in his car.

During the drive, Mr. Jiuzheng still frowned, mumbling to himself in a voice only he could hear, "No matter which of my guesses is correct, this Bai Xiaosheng is not to be provoked again! It’s best to avoid further contact!"

At the Moon Lake villa district in Zhongjing, Mr. Jiuzheng’s home.

In the living room stood a guest in a suit and leather shoes, a meticulous man with combed-back hair and a slightly plump face, his eyes smiling as he admired the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands clasped behind his back.

"Jiuzheng’s taste is still as poor as ever!"
