Chapter 765: Chapter 765: The Scheming of a Superior_1

Yang Chengtian’s "three major restrictions" left the room in utter silence, with everyone’s complexion changing.

It should be known that among those remaining, aside from Bai Xiaosheng, there were few without a background!

Behind them, whether they were regional representatives or senior affairs officers, at the final stage, the last moment, driven by self-interest, how many could really stay out of it? They would inevitably act in the shadows to support their own!

However, in the final stages, the affairs department would also be like a pack of hyenas, closely watching them, preventing them from going too far!

In such a situation, they could only take action within their own absolute control.

But with the type of restrictive rules Yang Chengtian had set, it was very awkward for them!

Zheng Qinghong frowned slightly, staring at Yang Chengtian, suddenly realizing that even if Yang Chengtian was the final examiner, he couldn’t take any advantage!

I was happy too early...

"I heard that the questions set by the affairs officer would be reviewed by Mr. Xiahou Qi, president of the Greater China Region, for final amendments! Perhaps this was not Yang Chengtian’s original intention... or maybe, Yang Chengtian was simply a puppet examiner!"

Zheng Qinghong suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable trepidation; he had a terrifying thought—

"The one who is truly assessing us in the end might be the president of the Greater China Region himself!"

Mu Beichen had the same hunch!

"Indeed, to become the president of the Greater China Region, one must be a cunning old fox!" Bai Xiaosheng also felt deeply moved.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept over the remaining people, his eyebrows slightly furrowed; the more he looked, the more something seemed off!

Were these people left at the end truly just a result of their scores?

Perhaps not all of it!

Bai Xiaosheng, having attended so many lessons with everyone, knew everyone’s names and their companies like the back of his hand!

The internal division of the group’s industries was based on the seven major geographical regions.

Of the ten people left now, aside from him and Mu Beichen, who were exceptions, all belonged to outside of East China—the other six regions each still had one representative left! In addition, two individuals, whose companies were abroad, each belonged to different countries!

Could this be just a coincidence?

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly recalled a phrase he had heard from Lin Ke.

Lin Ke had said that when the final results were out, she would do the ranking to be reviewed by the president of the Greater China Region!

If staying or leaving was really entirely based on scores...

Then what was the need for reviewing a list!

This could only imply one thing: the competition selection, seemingly based entirely on scores,

In reality, had human intervention!

"Let every region become competitors, to reduce the possibility of favoritism to the greatest extent!" Bai Xiaosheng guessed.

Of course, even so, it was impossible to completely eliminate the exchange of interests.

But under such circumstances, as long as the affairs department paid closer attention, it could maximize the containment of external factors’ involvement!

This had to be the planning and calculation of the president of the Greater China Region! Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

Having reached such an extent, if the bigwigs behind these candidates still went for interest exchanges, they would be touching a dangerous bottom line, possibly losing more than they would gain!

The least they could do was to be wary of each other, making them restrained.

"If we think deeper, on the level of conspiracy, it’s not impossible that the president of the Greater China Region is using this assessment to take down some positions... otherwise, where would the new provincial industry leaders be assigned to work!" Bai Xiaosheng’s heart trembled, "Impressive, truly impressive!"

"It seems that I have a long way to go to reach the level of conniving and scheming of the president of the Greater China Region. I have a long road ahead of me to aspire to that position," Bai Xiaosheng felt profoundly.

Little did he know that the fact he could even consider these possibilities—unthought of by Mu Beichen, Zheng Qinghong at first—meant he was already far ahead of his peers!

Instead of feeling discouraged about the gap in cunning between him and the president of the Greater China Region, Bai Xiaosheng felt thrilled.

He wasn’t sure where this excitement came from, but he felt it, deeply and genuinely!

"Maybe, I was born to love this kind of challenge!" Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

To challenge the higher, to challenge the stronger!

Ten years, to make a bid for the position of president at Zhenbei Group, a world-class financial consortium!

Such an endeavor, regardless of success or failure, would be unparalleled in history, worthy of lifelong acclaim!

It filled Bai Xiaosheng with passion and a heart daring enough to enter the fray!

On the stage, Yang Chengtian smiled as he looked at the crowd and continued, "Now, does anyone still think it’s easy?"

Suddenly, no one spoke up.

Others might not be as quick as Bai Xiaosheng to consider so many aspects, but they all faintly sensed its distinctiveness, and the more they pondered, the more alarming it seemed!

This time, it was a competition for the position of a provincial industry leader!

To command an entire province’s group industries, in the developed regions of East China, even control dozens, or even a hundred small and large enterprises! A true second only to one, but above tens of thousands!

How could such a position be easily secured!

"Anyway, you all have only one month, thirty days to compete, so give it your all!" Yang Chengtian cheerfully told everyone, "If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask, and I will answer them in detail."

After this statement, there was a long silence at the venue, until finally, someone asked some questions.

They were all tentatively probing certain details.

Yang Chengtian explained patiently and amiably to everyone.

Time flew by, and two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

In the end, no more questions were asked.

"Since no one has any more questions, good, then this meeting is hereby concluded. Everyone is free to leave!" Yang Chengtian said with a smile.

Some hurried to leave, while others were in no rush, communicating with those next to them.

Yang Chengtian on the stage glanced over and descended from the lectern.

Those who remained all greeted him.

Officer Yang was approachable, smiling and chatting with the crowd.

"Mr. Zheng Qinghong, I’ve long admired you!" Approaching Zheng Qinghong, Yang Chengtian said with a smile.

"Officer Yang, you flatter me!" Zheng Qinghong replied politely, a smile on his face and a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn’t understand why Yang Chengtian would greet him in such a public manner.

In fact, he’d only heard about Yang Chengtian’s goodwill toward his half-brother from others, having never witnessed it himself.

While Zheng Qinghong was puzzled, Yang Chengtian smiled at him and then approached Mu Beichen, "Mr. Mu Beichen, I’ve long admired you!"

"Officer Yang, that’s too much praise!" Mu Beichen smiled, surprise lurking deep in his eyes, too.

He and the Chen Family had little to do with this man.

Why would Yang Chengtian also greet him?

Amidst Mu Beichen’s bemusement, he saw Yang Chengtian approach Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, I’ve long admired you... immensely!"

"I dare not accept such honor." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Yang Chengtian chuckled, his face full of satisfaction, "There’s nothing to dare not accept! Just a greeting for the third-ranked, the second-ranked, and you, the top one, you all deserve it!"

At this statement, all the eyes looking his way suddenly narrowed!
