Chapter 687: Chapter 687: A Matter of a Single Sentence_1

To make a figure like Mou Yutian or Zhang Xuan submit in Zhongjing, you would need both financial power and strength, and a considerable amount of it.

As for Bai Xiaosheng, both Mou Yutian and Zhang Xuan had analyzed him.

In terms of wealth, Zhongjing Media, owned by Bai Xiaosheng, was already one of the top in Zhongjing, rivaling several large enterprises. Moreover, with the backing of the world-class conglomerate Zhenbei Group, it could be described as "wealthy and powerful."

In terms of influence, it was nothing new for Bai Xiaosheng to come and go from the city government as if it were his own home!

At the same time, the man also held sway over public opinion and acted decisively!

Both Mou Yutian and Zhang Xuan only wanted to be on good terms with him and not offend him!

Right there and then, Zhang Xuan switched to a friendly smile, conversing with Bai Xiaosheng as equals, like they were old friends of many years.

However, with Sun Xuanbei present, he was still somewhat embarrassed.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng had witnessed that scene just earlier.

"Luckily Mou Yutian arrived just in time; otherwise, I might have offended this man surnamed Bai!" thought Zhang Xuan, unable to help but feel relieved.

His ability to switch between two contrasting attitudes so naturally, even Bai Xiaosheng, who observed this, mentally paid his respects.

It really wasn’t something an ordinary person could easily learn to pick up and put down!

"Mr. Bai’s presence here is a great honor to this place. Zhihao, quickly, have someone tidy up and serve the good tea to entertain our distinguished guest!" Zhang Xuan commanded.

Zhang Zhihao hurried to give the orders.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s fierce reputation, Zhang Zhihao didn’t dare to slight him.

"I’m surprised and honored to meet with Director Zhang," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

"You flatter me, you flatter me. Please, have a seat," Zhang Xuan quickly offered a chair.

Mou Yutian also smiled broadly, inviting Bai Xiaosheng to sit in the main seat.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t decline, but he also didn’t take the seat. Instead, he turned his head and smiled at Sun Xuanbei, "Mr. Sun, please!"

Sun Xuanbei was initially startled but then laughed and walked over.

As she passed by Zhang Xuan, she glanced at him.

You told me that in this place, I’m not in a position to negotiate terms with you. Now what about now?

Her gaze was full of meaning, yet Zhang Xuan seemed not to see it, still smiling politely.

Sun Xuanbei sighed inwardly, this man’s heart was even more focused on profit than before, everything had to make way for "interest," even face and dignity. What she had once looked down upon was precisely Zhang Xuan’s heart driven by profit!

After Sun Xuanbei took her seat, Zhang Xuan invited Bai Xiaosheng to sit, and this time he did not hesitate.

Then, Mou Yutian and Zhang Xuan also sat down.

The servants cleaned up the room, and Zhang Zhihao sent Lei Zha out.

Lei Zha, seeing that Lei Ying ignored him, quickly fled in panic, like a dog that had lost its home.

Although everyone had taken their seats, all eyes converged on Bai Xiaosheng.

After all, he was the central figure!

The reason everyone was able to sit down together was also because of him.

"Director Zhang, I came over this time with Mr. Sun to pick up a friend. I wonder if you could do me a favor and bring her here?" Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile.

"Since you’ve requested, no problem at all!" Zhang Xuan chuckled, pointing to Zhang Zhihao, "Go, please invite that young lady over."

Zhang Zhihao didn’t dare to make a sound and hurried to bring the person.

His infatuation with Huo Qianxun was mostly desire, and it couldn’t stand the test.

While that was happening, Zhang Xuan, Mou Yutian, and Bai Xiaosheng engaged in conversation.

Sun Xuanbei watched silently.

Bai Xiaosheng was at ease conversing with the two powerhouses, speaking aptly, impressing the old lady immensely.

"This young man isn’t just skilled physically; his manner of speaking and insight are on par with both Mou and Zhang. He knows etiquette and understands change, truly a nearly perfect man!" Sun Xuanbei inwardly marveled.

At the same time, she also secretly sighed, "My dear apprentice, how fortunate you are to be unconscious. If you knew how outstanding he was, I fear you couldn’t handle it. With such an exceptional man around, how could Qianxun possibly be interested in you..."

Bai Xiaosheng and the others continued their discussion.

Zhang Zhihao came back, bringing with him Huo Qianxun and Du Guilan.

When Huo Qianxun saw Sun Xuanbei, she couldn’t contain her joy, and seeing Bai Xiaosheng, she was even more surprised.

Seeing that Bai Xiaosheng was sitting comfortably with two big shots like Zhang Xuan and Mou Yutian, engaging in conversation, she was also astonished.

"Oh, President Zhang, why were you in such a hurry to bring people here? Don’t you know I almost persuaded Qian Xun," Du Guilan was still chattering as she entered.

As if she could really persuade Huo Qianxun, her words were meant to give Zhang Zhihao some hope, so that he wouldn’t pursue her for the debt.

"Enough!" Zhang Zhihao glared at her.

Doesn’t she realize the kind of people that are here? It’s not her place to speak!

"This must be Qianxun’s sister-in-law, I’ve heard she’s a chronic gambler! President Zhang has been associating closely with her, which is not a good thing," Bai Xiaosheng said to Zhang Xuan with a smile, "I’ve even heard that there’s gambling going on here; does Director Zhang know about it?"

Those words changed Zhang Zhihao’s complexion.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback and glared at his son, "Is this true?!"

Zhang Zhihao was startled, blinking, and didn’t speak for a long time.

"Who are you calling a chronic gambler, and who are you anyway!" Du Guilan, seeing that a young man was talking about her again, suddenly shouted out.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t even look at her and just smiled while sipping his tea.

The dregs would be taken care of by someone else.

Sure enough, a very crisp slap sounded.

After spinning twice in place, Du Guilan watched as Zhang Zhihao became furious, "Get this woman out of here!"

Immediately, someone stepped forward, grabbing her shoulder and hair, and dragged Du Guilan out; her distant howling was cut off by the closing doors of the private room.

What happened to her was of no concern to Bai Xiaosheng.

"Zhang Zhihao, you’ve been suspended! Go back home and reflect behind closed doors! Once I’m done investigating the matters here, I’ll settle the score with you!" Zhang Xuan’s eyes were sharp.

Zhang Zhihao’s face turned pale, and he nodded with a pained expression, "Yes."

With just one sentence from Bai Xiaosheng, Zhang Xuan relieved his son of his duties and even spoke of cleaning house himself.

That made Huo Qianxun stare blankly.

"He’s so cool!" Afterward, Huo Qianxun’s eyes shone with excitement.

Bai Xiaosheng continued to chat with Zhang and Mou for a while longer.

"Oh no!"

Mou Yutian suddenly slapped his thigh, looking somewhat anxious, "Chief Secretary Zhang Meng is inspecting my business right now, and I said I would return. But seeing Brother Bai here, I forgot all about it!"

How could Mou Yutian really forget? He said this for Bai Xiaosheng to hear.

"Mr. Mou, don’t worry, I’m on good terms with Secretary Zhang, a word is all it takes," Bai Xiaosheng nonchalantly took out his phone and made a call, as if afraid Mou Yutian would be concerned, he even turned on the speaker.

It only rang a few times before the other side picked up.

Zhang Meng’s voice came through.

"Sheng, what made you think of calling me? Is something up?" Zhang Meng’s tone was warm and friendly, as if speaking to a friend.

Mou Yutian and Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but exchange glances, and Sun Xuanbei was also full of surprise.

"Secretary Zhang, aren’t you inspecting Mr. Mou’s business? He’s with me and might not be able to make it back to accompany you," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, "You guys have things to discuss, take your time, I’ll just look around."

"No problem, you guys talk. I’ll just take a casual look around," Zhang Meng responded, "Sheng, Mayor Ji was saying that you haven’t been around for a long time. If you have time, go to the municipal government for tea. Of course, it depends on your schedule!"

Mayor Ji actually took the initiative to invite Bai Xiaosheng for tea, and even made it depend on Bai Xiaosheng’s schedule!

Everyone’s expressions changed.

"Sure, I’ll stop by when I’m free. You continue with your inspection, I won’t disturb you any longer," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile before hanging up the phone.

He smiled at Mou Yutian, "It’s taken care of."

Everyone’s shock was clear to Bai Xiaosheng; he had deliberately made that call.

Without doing so, how could he possibly intimidate the Mou and Zhang families!
