Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Who’s Calculating Whom_1

Bai Xiaosheng returned to Zhongjing Media and, seeing that there was still some time before the end of work, he decided to visit the departments involved in the third phase of the audit, to check on their progress and see if there was anything they needed from the company.

Lin Weiwei followed him throughout, responsible for taking notes.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s gift in hand, the young lady was brimming with energy, bright and spirited along the way, attracting the employees to take several glances, all feeling that Assistant Lin was particularly different today, sexy yet charming.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, hardly noticed and continued to instruct Lin Weiwei, who was by his side.

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy, but you also need to ensure that everyone isn’t overworked. In principle, I do not really support working overtime. It’s better to do what is planned during working hours!"

To Bai Xiaosheng, their progress had already been astonishing—not only was the speed impressive, but it was also crucial to ensure the quality of every piece of work at a most basic level.

Here, people were the key factor.

Continuous work in a state of physical and mental exhaustion is not conducive to thorough and quality work.

"Okay," Lin Weiwei nodded and took note.

After visiting the departments, Bai Xiaosheng brought Lin Weiwei back to his office.

Bai Xiaosheng sat down to rest, and Lin Weiwei brought him a cup of black tea.

"By the way, Weiwei, what has Chen Changqing been up to lately?" Bai Xiaosheng suddenly thought of the man and asked.

It had been a long time since he had paid attention to him.

Since the last time he had thoroughly defeated the team of Chen Changqing and Song Changkong, with Song Changkong disappearing without a hint and Chen Changqing having been dispatched to revise the company culture, the two of them had rarely encountered each other, the most recent encounter being when Mayor Su Shu and Mayor Ji Mingyang came for an inspection.

It felt like a long time had already passed.

"During the days you weren’t here, Chen Changqing did come out and went around. He visited Luran twice and showed great interest in the patent research and development. The first time he went, I didn’t know about it; Luran knew he was the deputy director, so they talked a lot. However, after I got wind of it, I warned Luran to keep it confidential. The second time, Chen Changqing didn’t manage to learn much more," Lin Weiwei replied.

"He went to Luran’s place..." Bai Xiaosheng tapped the cup with his fingers, musing in silence.

Chen Changqing was, after all, the nephew of Chen Jiuzheng.

Chen Jiuzheng was the head of the industry in the provincial area under the Greater China Region of the conglomerate!

Chen Jiuzheng had encountered several setbacks through him, and now, he was suspiciously quiet with hardly any movement...

While quiet was good, too much quietness always felt somewhat abnormal!

Bai Xiaosheng felt a vague sense of vigilance in his heart.

However, if the other party did not move, he could hardly go and ask, "What’s your next step in dealing with me?"

He could only be on his guard.

"Weiwei, you did the right thing! Take the opportunity to inform the head of each department, if Chen Changqing tries to access important content, they should refuse, and if Chen Changqing insists, tell him to come to me!" Bai Xiaosheng said.

For a deputy director, this approach effectively sidelined him!

Something Song Changkong did not dare to do and failed to achieve, Bai Xiaosheng had now realized.

One wondered what Song Changkong would think if he knew.

From Bai Xiaosheng’s point of view, Chen Changqing had schemed against him quite a few times, and even if he had not gained any advantage, he was still a scoundrel—and one should always suspect a scoundrel’s intentions.

"Got it, I’ll take note of it!" Lin Weiwei nodded earnestly, recording every word without fail.

"Currently, the most important matter is the competition to become the provincial flagship enterprise. Following this pace, it’s vastly ahead of what I had anticipated... I can already hear the thundering battle drums, the sounds of warriors and horses in armors!"

Bai Xiaosheng leaned back in his seat, holding a cup of red tea, slowly sipping.

"Mu Beichen, you and I bear no personal grudges, we are compelled to face each other in battle solely for our respective enterprises, and the cities we hail from!"

At this very moment.

In Langbei City, Tianzheng Media.

Mu Beichen was also inspecting, with content similar to that of Bai Xiaosheng.

Unlike Bai Xiaosheng’s relaxed human touch, Mu Beichen extremely emphasized a wolfish nature.

The ’do or die’ kind.

"I don’t care what methods you use, or how many all-nighters you’ve pulled, even if it kills you, you must first complete your tasks for me!"

When Mu Beichen gave a ruthless order, he was utterly cold-hearted.

"Get the job done well, and the responsible manager gets promoted and receives a raise, and the working staff gets a hefty bonus. If anyone dares to complain, don’t blame me, Mu Beichen, for being impolite. If I get irritated, even if you want to change jobs, you’ll have to find another city!"

Mu Beichen’s ’carrot and stick’ was money for kindness and intimidation for sternness.

In every department he visited, from managers to staff, everyone was trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice.

Whether it was for money or for their careers, these people were going all out, entering a frenzied state.

In terms of the level of insanity, it far surpassed Zhongjing Media.

"Next Friday, I want all your tasks completed! I’m not asking for perfection, just speed and accuracy!" Mu Beichen issued his ultimatum.

After completing his rounds, Mu Beichen returned to his own office.

His assistant, the squint-eyed man, Liu Yue, couldn’t help but say, "We have Zhongjing Media’s progress at our fingertips. On next Wednesday’s milestone, they will complete the third phase and at the same time, initiate the fourth phase. Whereas we, by Friday, will have preliminarily completed the fourth phase! However, it still requires ten days to perfect. If it’s too crude, it won’t pass muster with the province. Even if we spend ten more days, Zhongjing Media, by estimate, won’t even have finished the fourth phase, and our lead over them is unquestionable!"

"One week!"

After hearing Liu Yue’s words, Mu Beichen spoke expressionlessly, "By that time, I’ll give at most one more week—ensure quality and quantity!"

Liu Yue thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, let’s urge the team to push on a bit more!"

Tianzheng Media had a firm grip on its competitor’s progress, and Mu Beichen didn’t relax in the slightest. With such caution, Liu Yue couldn’t imagine any possibility for Bai Xiaosheng to turn the tables!

After Liu Yue left, Mu Beichen looked around his vast office and laughed coldly to himself.

"Bai Xiaosheng, you have no idea who your opponent really is! This time, you’re going to thoroughly lose the race for the provincial flagship enterprise!"

"But do you think it ends with a loss? No, that’s just the beginning!"

"You lose this time, you’ll lose the next time too! Eventually, you’ll find your Zhongjing Media under attack everywhere by us, and you’ll lose everything, even your market in Zhongjing!"

"I want to defeat you again and again, shatter your confidence again and again, take away your status and glory that belongs to you until you’ve lost everything!"

"However, this isn’t about personal vendetta at all, it’s totally your own doing, the retribution for your past ignorance of the world!"

Mu Beichen spoke to himself in an almost hysterical manner, his laughter grim, his teeth gleaming white like a wolf’s.

Unbeknownst to Bai Xiaosheng, he was trapped in the schemes of a ferociously cunning beast!
