Chapter 796: Chapter 796: This Person, Ruined!_1

Shangyun Province, the office of the provincial industry head, Shang Wenshu.

At this moment, Shang Wenshu stood with his back turned, facing a floor-to-ceiling window, staring intently in one direction.

It was the direction of Zhongjing!

Shang Wenshu knew about the selection and was aware of the time; they were announcing the results there.

Something significant was probably happening!

"Mr. Shang, are you still worried?" Shang Wenshu’s assistant, who was also his confidant, stood behind him, cautiously observing his expression as he spoke.

Shang Wenshu turned back to look at him, his face betraying no emotion.

"Actually, in my humble opinion, you really didn’t need to go to such lengths to help that Mr. Bai!" the assistant said cautiously, "You’ve said he’s an old friend, a benefactor, and even your lucky star. But, in the end, this is the workplace, where too much personal emotion can spoil things. And even with the example of Hedong Province, getting involved hastily in the Affairs Department selection is too risky. Who knows if the Affairs Department will settle scores afterward? It will then be trouble for us..."

"Do you think I’m worried about that?" Shang Wenshu said with a faint smile, interrupting his assistant.

"Isn’t it?" the assistant asked, puzzled.

Shang Wenshu looked at him, this young man was very clever, exceedingly talented.

But in the end, he fell far short when compared with that prodigy!

Bai Xiaosheng!

Shang Wenshu mulled over these three words, his heart filled with astonishment.

No matter how formidable his background was, his personal abilities were also extraordinary.

Since their parting in Tiannan, it had been less than a year, and Bai Xiaosheng was already competing for the position of provincial industry head!

Inconceivable!

Moreover, Shang Wenshu had a premonition that Bai Xiaosheng would succeed!

"Only a few months have passed, seven or eight, and he has already come this far... Bai Xiaosheng, just how monstrous are you!" Shang Wenshu marveled inwardly.

Upon seeing the assistant’s questioning gaze, Shang Wenshu smiled, "Regarding this matter, you really don’t need to worry, the Affairs Department will absolutely not settle scores with me afterward! Because they support what I’ve done!"

"Oh?" the assistant looked at Shang Wenshu in surprise.

"Let me explain," Shang Wenshu continued, "I reported our first batch of collaborative achievements to the Affairs Department promptly, as a sort of test. Although Bai Xiaosheng has done me favors, and I am grateful to him, willing to exert myself in return, I also needed to gauge the Affairs Department’s attitude!"

"Do you know that my regular reports usually receive a response within about six hours, after going through the necessary procedures?"

"But this time, my report received a response in less than an hour. And prominently on the document was marked ’first-class special approval’!"

"Do you know who has the power to use such a phrase?"

After saying this, Shang Wenshu gave his assistant a meaningful look, full of implications for him to ponder, and then fell silent.

"This..." the assistant was left wide-eyed and speechless.

It seemed, then, that Shang Wenshu was not recklessly or irrationally helping a benefactor, but was instead forging a tremendous good fortune.

"This favor, I must help with!" the assistant couldn’t help saying.

Shang Wenshu glanced at him, offering a faint smile.

In Shang Wenshu’s mind, however, he silently reflected, "The one with such authority is not an Affairs Officer, not a Senior Affairs Officer, but the President of the Greater China Region Headquarters!"

"Moreover, they could have done without stamping these words on it. By doing so, they were telling me that the President himself is paying attention and moreover, he supports it!"

"Bai Xiaosheng, who exactly are you to command such reverence!" Shang Wenshu couldn’t help but be filled with awe.

Greater China Region Headquarters, Supervision Office.

Xiahou Qi, holding a tea cup, looked indifferently at the screen that showed Mu Beichen, with a look of disappointment written all over his face.

"How can this Mu Beichen be so flustered and panicked, what a failure!"

"And those words, can you publicly criticize Bai Xiaosheng like that? Hmph! Your methods are even more despicable, I must admit!"

"To think he is nearly a decade older than Bai Xiaosheng, with far more experience in the workplace, yet he doesn’t have Bai Xiaosheng’s resilience, let alone his intelligence. He has truly lived in vain!"

"Is he really worth snatching from the Chen Family!"

Xiahou Qi shook his head, sipped his hot tea, then smiled and muttered to himself, "I’ve let Lin Ke and Feng Li be troubled for so long, I can’t tell them that I would actually let Bai Xiaosheng leave the game for no reason! I’m not that senile yet!"

"Originally, I had other ways in mind to help Bai Xiaosheng! But unexpectedly, he turned out to be an old acquaintance of Shang Wenshu from Shangyun, the very one I personally appointed. Frankly speaking... this person is not someone who would act rashly and recklessly. Yet this time, for the sake of Bai Xiaosheng, he was willing to take such action, and he understood my ’hint’ as well – good, good, he is also a promising candidate!"

Xiahou Qi couldn’t stop praising Shang Wenshu!

After a long time, Shang Wenshu would be promoted, earning the trust of the President of the Greater China Region.

Shang Wenshu would attribute everything to his good relationship with Bai Xiaosheng.

Strictly speaking... it wasn’t entirely wrong.

Of course, all this would happen much later.

At this moment, in the lecture hall of Zhongjing University.

After Mu Beichen finished questioning Bai Xiaosheng, he saw Li Haofeng’s eyes filled with obvious scorn, and he heard the sounds of mockery around him.

"This Mu Beichen is really something else, his own affairs are still unclear, yet he has the nerve to criticize others!"

"Hey, the pot calling the kettle black, he doesn’t look at his own behavior!"

"Such a person, with that kind of conduct, really isn’t fit to hold a significant position!"

...

The cacophony of discussions flew into Mu Beichen’s ears, making him furious and panicked, lost and utterly confused.

Mu Beichen looked around only to find cutting and mocking gazes, as sharp as knives and arrows.

Mu Beichen’s body swayed, and he plopped down, his gaze vacant.

Zheng Qinghong didn’t even bother to look at him, her expression calm with no hint of disturbance.

Mr. Bai glanced at Mu Beichen.

"With such a blow, from today on, he will fear me, dread me, fear me to his very bones!" Mr. Bai thought to himself, "Mu Beichen is no longer my match!"

On the platform, Li Haofeng’s gaze was cold. He slightly lowered his head and spoke softly into the device pinned to his chest.

In the Greater China Region Headquarters, Supervision Office, Xiahou Qi, sitting in front of the screen, heard Li Haofeng’s voice.

"Elder Xia, regarding this Mu Beichen, I suggest revoking his qualifications for becoming a provincial industry leader or a New-type Affairs Officer. Because, from any aspect, this person may have skills but lacks the right temperament, cannot achieve great things, and doesn’t meet the standards!"

This was Li Haofeng’s assessment of Mu Beichen, and for a Senior Affairs Officer to be so definitive and report it to the President of the Greater China Region Headquarters indicated just how disappointed he was with Mu Beichen.

Xiahou Qi stared at the screen, scrutinizing Mu Beichen for a while. He pondered for a moment, leisurely sipping his tea, before finally responding with a single word—

"Good!"
