Chapter 710: Chapter 710 After the Banquet_1

After the Chen Family banquet ended, that evening, as all the guests had been sent away, Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng immediately summoned their nephew Chen Changluo and scolded him severely, with harsh words, even threatening to remove his position as general manager.

Chen Changluo was in a sorry state, repeatedly apologizing to his two uncles and promising to never again be so rash.

But from beginning to end, he was utterly confused.

"Though I did lose face at the banquet, it was my own reputation, not the Chen Family’s, that suffered. Besides, most of the guests were our own people; who would dare to mock my Chen Family!"

On the surface, Chen Changluo appeared obedient, but inwardly, he felt quite unreconciled.

Little did he know, Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng weren’t angry because he had embarrassed himself but because he had provoked Bai Xiaosheng, nearly ruining their big plans!

"Enough, as long as you have some sense, that’s fine!" Chen Jiutian was also tired of scolding, and heaved a long sigh, "Remember from now on, to speak and act cautiously, to be less aggressive and more tolerant. You, your cultivation is still not enough! You should strive more in this aspect from here on out!"

"Yes, yes, Uncle, I will reflect upon myself and definitely improve my cultivation," Chen Changluo responded.

Chen Changluo nodded like a pecking chicken.

It was a pity, he had said these words nearly eight or ten times just before.

Chen Jiutian couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Chen Jiuzheng sighed softly, his tone easing, "Changluo, we’re saying all this for your own good! There are some things we still can’t tell you. Just remember, it doesn’t hurt you to be more reserved."

"Also, since you’ve lost to Bai Xiaosheng and now owe them half a year’s financial services, I’ll send a few people to your company later on. Make arrangements for them as if they were your own staff, and let them handle this matter," Chen Jiuzheng said.

This was also one of the important reasons for their talk with Chen Changluo.

"Uncle, there’s no need, no need, we have enough staff on my side," Chen Changluo hurriedly declined.

Chen Jiutian couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Why did he ever think his idiot nephew was clever!

"We have our own intentions for arranging people, you don’t have to worry about it!" Chen Jiuzheng said, "Alright, go and rest for now, we’ll talk about these things later."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Changluo quickly nodded.

Seeing Chen Jiutian’s displeased expression, the poor man had no idea what part of his words were inappropriate.

Chen Changluo was dizzy and didn’t want to stay a moment longer; he left as if fleeing.

After he had gone, a person came out from the inner room, and it was Mu Beichen.

Regarding Mu Beichen’s identity, Chen Changqing knew, but Chen Changluo did not.

Compared to Chen Changluo, Chen Changqing was better at keeping secrets.

"How can he be so foolish!" Chen Jiutian sighed, holding a grudge against Chen Changluo’s performance.

Mu Beichen, however, smiled.

"It’s because you were angered by him, there’s also a ’dark under the lamp’s effect’. I sneaked a peek, and I saw it clearly. When Changluo hesitated to accept brother Zheng’s personnel arrangements, there was a flicker of panic in his eyes. I’m afraid, there might be some problems with his company’s accounts. I guess, as soon as he returns, he’ll certainly call someone to handle things in advance."

Upon hearing Mu Beichen’s observation, Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng suddenly looked at each other in astonishment.

They had indeed not noticed, just as Mu Beichen had said.

"This bastard, even calculating against me," Chen Jiutian murmured to himself.

He had been fooled right under their noses.

"Forget it, these are all minor issues," Mu Beichen shook his head and continued, "I am actually more concerned about Bai Xiaosheng’s performance! He ranked first in all three assessments of the training camp, and though luck played a part, along with some opportunism, today it seems he indeed has concealed something! We shall see. If he still comes out on top in the final assessment of the first stage, then I’ll have to consider, whether we need to take some special measures ahead of time!"

Mu Beichen’s voice was cold,

Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng exchanged glances and nodded.

...

Meanwhile, Feng drove Bai Xiaosheng straight home.

By the time he got home, it was almost nine in the evening.

After freshening up, Bai Xiaosheng flopped onto his bed, pulled the blanket over himself, and comfortably drifted off to sleep.

It was an uneventful night.

The next day, Bai Xiaosheng went to work full of vitality.

While enjoying the lavish breakfast prepared by Lin Weiwei, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly looked up at her and said, "Weiwei, could you please let Lei Ying know that I’ll be treating you two to dinner tonight?"

"Huh?" Lin Weiwei was puzzled and laughed, "It’s not a holiday or any special occasion. What made you think of treating us to dinner?"

"Of course, there’s a good reason."

Bai Xiaosheng wiped his hands and pulled out a check and a bank card from his pocket, "Later, can you make a trip to the bank and deposit this money for me?"

Lin Weiwei took the check, puzzled. She looked at it and was startled, "Five million!"

That was no small sum.

Seeing the signature, she was taken aback, "Chen Jiuzheng?"

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hide anything and described what had happened the previous night. Lin Weiwei couldn’t stop laughing.

"The Chen Family really has such a generous fool! If only I had known, I would have gone to see for myself," Lin Weiwei laughed.

"There will be a chance!" Bai Xiaosheng said meaningfully.

"Okay, leave it to me," Lin Weiwei took Bai Xiaosheng’s check and card and left the office.

Bai Xiaosheng was very confident in her, considering her as trusted as a confidante, as well as Lei Ying.

They were the kind of people that money couldn’t buy, and Bai Xiaosheng truly regarded them as friends.

After Lin Weiwei left, Bai Xiaosheng finished his breakfast and was drinking tea when he received a call from Zhao Qianze.

"Little Brother Bai, why did you sneak off on your own last night? I searched for you for ages!" Zhao Qianze complained over the phone.

"Zhao, you were surrounded by a bunch of people at the time. I couldn’t make my way over, and besides, if I had told you, you would have wanted to leave too, then I would’ve been hated to death by those people," Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

Indeed, if Bai Xiaosheng had told Zhao Qianze, she would surely have left with him to return to Zhongjing.

"Hmph, you sure have your reasons!" Zhao Qianze huffed, then quickly changed the subject, "Yesterday, after you competed with Chen Changluo, my friend Song Yanran became unexpectedly interested in you. And strangely, it seems like her hostility towards you evaporated into thin air. Isn’t that odd?"

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but touch his nose.

Song Yanran was a weird character, with a bit of a pathological pride.

Such a woman, once conquered, would be submissive and would do whatever was asked of her.

However, Bai Xiaosheng did not want to provoke her; on the contrary, he wished to keep his distance.

In the following conversation, Zhao Qianze talked with Bai Xiaosheng for a good half hour before hanging up.

Bai Xiaosheng put down the phone and buried himself in organizing some documents.

These were extremely important papers for Chen Changluo’s financial company.

"It can’t be all true, nor can it be all fake. They have experts over there," Bai Xiaosheng muttered as he worked.

With Red Lotus’s assistance, mixing seven parts truth with three parts fiction, even professionals wouldn’t detect it.

Closer to noon, Bai Xiaosheng stretched lazily, "Finally finished. Now to wait for the fish to bite!"
