Chapter 507: Chapter 507 There is a problem here!_1

Seeing Mayor Ji Mingyang not deny it, Mayor Su Shu couldn’t contain her shock.

Ji Mingyang’s team, they actually managed to make it to today’s report.

How did they get this work done so quickly!

Seeing Su Shu, Ji Mingyang also couldn’t help but snort coldly, "You’ve moved ahead too? You’re really something, Su Shu! For you, the plan is always just the final deadline, you’re always trying to outdo us. Competing with you, one really can’t afford to relax at all!"

In fact, he had considered coming tomorrow, but for safety, he decided to come a day early.

And with that, they both arrived at the same time!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but glance at Ji Mingyang, no wonder Mr. Ji had said that it was safer to come today.

Turns out, there was this additional layer of meaning.

"And you’re talking about me, Ji Mingyang? What’s this about! Why did you come today! Ah, I get it now, you knew our report was scheduled for tomorrow, so you decided to come one day ahead of us. I’m really impressed by you, despicable. Competing with you, one can’t afford to be lax at all!"

The last sentence sounded eerily familiar.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help wanting to laugh.

"Su Shu, you should remember you’re a mayor, you need to speak cautiously. And there are people around, what do you mean by ’despicable’!"

"Ji Mingyang, don’t give me that. You’re not despicable, you deliberately came one day ahead of us at the last minute."

"What, only your Langbei City is allowed to report these two days and Zhongjing isn’t allowed? You’re being too overbearing!"

"I am that overbearing, what about it? It’s not like you only just found out these past couple of days!"

The two mayors went back and forth, their words sharp as swords.

Standing beside them, Bai Xiaosheng was speechless for a moment.

He glanced at Zhang Meng, the chief secretary of the mayor, who remained as composed as an old monk in meditation—eyes on nose, nose on mouth, mouth on heart, unfazed by it all!

What kind of similar situations must one go through to be tempered into such a state!

Bai Xiaosheng sighed inwardly.

Then, he saw Mu Beichen beside him, whose demeanor was serene, showing no ripples. But still, Bai Xiaosheng could read a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

When Bai Xiaosheng looked over, Beichen also glanced his way. That helplessness in his gaze was fleeting and was soon replaced by an invasive confidence.

"Mr. Bai, seeing you with Mr. Ji to file the report, it seems like you’re quite confident," Mu Beichen said with a smile to Bai Xiaosheng.

"Not really, we’ve only just passed the first phase, and for this second phase, I’m like a duck forced onto a perch, reluctantly coming over. There’s a huge gap compared to those of you who are fully prepared," Bai Xiaosheng responded with a modest and sincere face to Beichen.

Bai Xiaosheng was at it again, hoodwinking people. However, to deceive the folks from Mayor Su Shu’s side and keep them off guard was also one of his tactics.

Zhang Meng, observing from the side, coldly watched and endorsed Bai Xiaosheng’s approach.

Mu Beichen smiled calmly and didn’t say much. However, Bai Xiaosheng could vaguely see from his eyes a hint of meaning—

He didn’t believe it at all!

Could it be that my acting skill isn’t good enough?

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng involuntarily felt astonished.

He was well aware that his speech and expressions had been trained by the Third Auxiliary Microexpression Analysis System; if not on par with professional actors, it should be sufficient for deceiving others.

But this Mu Beichen seemed almost immune to him!

As if someone had tipped him off.

Why wasn’t he fooled at all?!

Could there be some problem here?!

Bai Xiaosheng wondered.

But whether Beichen was fooled or not, today’s report required real competition, to speak through solid strength.

On that front, we would definitely not lose!

Bai Xiaosheng was brimming with confidence.

Once what Zhongjing had done becomes known, the surrounding cities would probably be stunned into silence.

Audacious and pioneering, it was not something just anyone would dare to do!

And it was only Ji Mingyang who had such vision and courage!

Feeling fortunate, Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Mayor Ji.

He and Mayor Su Shu were still quarreling...

Until the elevator came, until the elevator went up, the two of them still wouldn’t give in...

However, since this was in the provincial government, they were still mindful of their impact.

When the elevator reached its destination and the door was about to open, they stopped quarreling.

As the door opened, Bai Xiaosheng saw someone standing outside; it was the secretary of Minister Fan from the organization department, the one he had a chat with last time.

Bai Xiaosheng had a good impression of this person, who was capable of being an effective bureaucrat, with conversation skills and a worldview that were not inferior to Chen Changqing’s, even though he was merely a secretary to a minister.

It was said that he was just an ordinary secretary, not a senior one!

This made Bai Xiaosheng help but feel a sense of admiration deep inside; the provincial government really was a place where hidden talents abounded!

"Mayor Ji, Mayor Su, did you both arrive together?" This secretary, named Wang Yu, seemed somewhat surprised to see Ji Mingyang and Su Shu together and asked.

"In the underground parking garage elevator area, we just happened to run into each other," Ji Mingyang said with a smile.

"Yes, Mayor Ji and I also had a constructive exchange of experiences between our two cities, which was very rewarding," Su Shu said with a graceful smile.

"Hmm, there are some aspects of Langbei City that are worth learning from."

"Hardly, the development model of Zhongjing is what’s truly commendable."

In front of Wang Yu, the two mayors were courteous and polite.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help scratching his face and glanced at Zhang Meng.

With a smile, Zhang Meng nodded slightly, his face showing a look of one who listens to instruction and learns much from it.

Bai Xiaosheng was impressed.

"Both of you, just now Minister Fan said that you might both arrive around this time and asked me to wait here for you. After you both arrive, you can go directly to his office to find him," Wang Yu said with a smile, glancing at Bai Xiaosheng and Mu Beichen, the general managers from the municipal recommended enterprises whom he had seen and was familiar with.

"As for the two of you, bring all the necessary documents and follow me to the conference room to wait for a bit. The leadership has already made time available, and shortly, you will be able to present your reports," Wang Yu said smilingly.

Everyone nodded.

Since the leadership had arranged it this way, they would just follow the instructions.

Wang Yu was leading the way for Bai Xiaosheng and Mu Beichen; the two mayors, familiar with the route to Minister Fan’s office, didn’t need anyone to guide them.

The group split into two parties, each heading in different directions.

During this time, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but look deeply at Wang Yu.

Others, even the two mayors, didn’t notice that just now, a peculiar expression had flickered across Wang Yu’s eyes.

Bai Xiaosheng had noticed it!

Through long-term training with the Micro Expression Analysis System, he had become very sensitive to fleeting expressions.

Wang Yu’s expression for that instant...

"What does it mean?" Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself.

He tried to recall the expression on Wang Yu’s face, but just then, he couldn’t think of the right words to describe it.

As he was pondering, Wang Yu, who was leading the way, suddenly paused his steps, pointed at the two offices in front, and laughed.

"Gentlemen, last time one of you was in the first conference room and the other in the second conference room. You’re both familiar with the doors. I think it’s best to sit in separate rooms this time too!"

Separate rooms?

Could it be they were afraid the two would argue again?

But this was the provincial party office building!

However, Bai Xiaosheng and Mu Beichen didn’t say anything, just nodded their heads and each went to a different conference room.

Zhang Meng wanted to follow but was held back by Wang Yu, who silently shook his head.

Zhang Meng was taken aback, then his eyes widened.

Wang Yu’s behavior made it clear to him, yet he couldn’t make a sound to warn others!

Zhang Meng looked anxiously at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s hand was already on the doorknob of the first conference room, but a sudden intuition struck him. He realized what Wang Yu’s expression had meant—

A storm was coming!

"There’s a problem in here!" A sense of caution surged within Bai Xiaosheng!
