Chapter 797: Chapter 797 This is the final stage!_1

"Everyone, please be quiet!" bellowed Haofeng Great Affairs Officer, his voice booming.

The noisy tiered classroom quickly fell silent.

Haofeng was a Senior Affairs Officer, with the device on his chest and behind the camera, there was even the president of the Greater China Region!

Who would dare to be disrespectful!

"Now, I am here to announce a decision!"

Haofeng swept his gaze over everyone and slowly said, "Bai Xiaosheng, Zheng Qinghong, the two of you will now accompany me to the adjacent classroom. There, you will be subject to a video inquiry by the president of the Greater China Region. Through this special ’interview’ process, it will be determined who is more suitable for which position!"

Haofeng’s words left everyone in the room stunned.

Mu Beichen was especially shocked as he looked up.

"Haofeng Great Affairs Officer, you must be mistaken!" Zheng Qinghong, who had always been somewhat expressionless, now showed a change in his complexion.

He couldn’t help saying, "In this assessment, the first place went to Bai Xiaosheng, and the second place to Mu Beichen, while I... came in only third! Shouldn’t they be the ones undergoing interviews and job assignments..."

Zheng Qinghong’s words made the others nod in agreement.

It was quite improper for a Senior Affairs Officer to make a public mistake.

However, naturally, no one dared to have any objections, let alone criticize.

"I am the one who ranked second, and I should be involved in the job assignment!" Although Mu Beichen’s gaze was somewhat stiff and straight, he also murmured.

Haofeng glanced at Mu Beichen and gave Zheng Qinghong a gentle smile, "I am not mistaken, it is indeed you!"

With that, Haofeng surveyed the astonished crowd and explained, "Did you think that the assessment presided over by Affairs Officer Yang Chengtian was the final round?"

"No, that was not the case!" affirmed Haofeng, "Because the final phase is happening right now, and I am the last examiner!"

Haofeng’s words shocked everyone, yet also seemed logical to them.

An Affairs Officer is equivalent to a regional industrial head in rank but not quite in actual power.

Why should an Affairs Officer act as an examiner to select a regional industrial head?

That really wouldn’t be quite logical!

Only with the involvement of a Senior Affairs Officer and the president of the Greater China Region in the selection would it seem logical to everyone!

"My task was to assess you without your knowledge. Regrettably, Mr. Mu Beichen, you do not meet the criteria!" said Haofeng coldly as he glanced at Mu Beichen.

"Mr. Zheng Qinghong, your calm and composed nature has made a deep impression on me. You may proceed to the interview with the president of the Greater China Region. However, if you fail to satisfy the president, I will invite someone else in your place," Haofeng added.

With that understanding, everyone nodded to themselves.

Zheng Qinghong’s eyes instantly brightened.

This unexpected joy left him wildly overjoyed.

Mu Beichen’s face turned ashen, looking at Haofeng in horror, he slumped into his seat, his mouth agape, yet unable to utter a word. The last glimmer of hope in his eyes turned to despair!

Haofeng made his way toward the door.

Zheng Qinghong cast a glance at Bai Xiaosheng, stood up, and followed.

Bai Xiaosheng was about to follow when Lin Ke grabbed him.

"When answering later, don’t be nervous... uh, it seems like you don’t get nervous. Right, you don’t need to deliberately focus on your manner of speaking; it would come off as unnatural. Just act as you normally would; the old man actually likes your type!" Lin Ke cautioned in a low, urgent voice.

"Yeah, the old man is actually quite approachable. When you answer his questions, don’t try to find the standard answers, just elaborate on your own opinions," Feng Li also hurriedly advised.

"Try not to ramble, and be concise. Of course, if the president asks further, remember to provide a detailed response!" Even Yang Chengtian joined in the frenzy, adding his piece.

Zhao Qianze, having no experience to impart, just clenched his fist and nodded determinedly at Bai Xiaosheng, "Good luck!"

Even before the interview, Bai Xiaosheng had already received guidance from three Affairs Officers and a beauty’s blessing.

Truly, no one could match that!

Amidst the envy of others, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at these few people, "Thank you, don’t worry."

Having said that, Bai Xiaosheng left.

As he exited the stairwell classroom, he saw Zheng Qinghong standing in front of the door of the adjacent classroom, looking back at him.

Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng emerge, the previously stiff-looking expression on Zheng Qinghong’s face revealed a slight smile.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled back at him, but his eyes betrayed a hint of surprise.

Initially, Bai Xiaosheng had thought that Zheng Qinghong had suffered a stroke and had facial paralysis, but seeing his natural smile, it was indistinguishable from that of a normal person.

"You first?" Zheng Qinghong gestured to Bai Xiaosheng, speaking evenly.

"It’s all the same," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

This was just like Bai Xiaosheng; if possible, he preferred to be on good terms with others.

Zheng Qinghong, despite being somewhat arrogant and having many flaws, had not resorted to any despicable means in this competition.

Admittedly, it might have been because his brother was in a delicate situation and couldn’t help. But at the very least, facing circumstances without external support, he had fought on the frontlines, bare-chested. Although he had merely failed in a momentary strategy, he fought resiliently to the end.

As an opponent, Zheng Qinghong was indeed qualified, deserving of the two points of respect from Bai Xiaosheng.

However, looking at Zheng Qinghong’s supposed "stroke," Bai Xiaosheng was quite doubtful.

Collapse from overwork, perhaps that was true, but whether it was a stroke or not, that remained to be discovered.

Even if it was, it was probably not as serious as the rumors suggested!

Zheng Qinghong’s expressionless face seemed not the result of an illness.

Bai Xiaosheng gave Zheng Qinghong a meaningful glance.

"Zheng Qinghong!" a voice called from inside the classroom.

"It seems there’s an order to follow," Zheng Qinghong said to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, "I’ll go first then."

Bai Xiaosheng made a welcoming gesture.

Zheng Qinghong pushed the door open and entered.

Bai Xiaosheng waited outside, and after about a quarter of an hour, Zheng Qinghong emerged, his face unable to hide a look of joy.

"Congratulations," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile as he greeted him.

"Thank you," Zheng Qinghong replied with a smile.

Their exchange was brief and to the point, yet polite and refined.

In the business battlefield and workplace alike, when it was time for confrontation, no one would show mercy, fighting with all their might.

Yet without conflicts of interest, without disputes, they could still engage in lighthearted conversation.

This was the demeanor of someone destined for great achievements.

As for Zheng Honghu, who had aided the Chen Family in trapping him, it was driven by personal interests. Bai Xiaosheng would seek revenge on Zheng Honghu if necessary, but would not vent his anger on Zheng Qinghong if he couldn’t get even with Zheng Honghu. That would be the behavior of the weak.

"Bai Xiaosheng!" The classroom called out again.

Bai Xiaosheng passed by Zheng Qinghong, side by side, and pushed the door to enter.

Once inside, Bai Xiaosheng discovered that in the large classroom, just a long table sat on the podium, but only with three people seated. Li Haofeng was in the center, with two assistants on either side.

In front of them was a chair.

"Sit!" Li Haofeng’s voice was gentle as he gestured to Bai Xiaosheng, who smiled at him and glanced at the equipment on Li Haofeng’s chest.

This time, the "interview" was overseen by none other than the CEO of the Greater China Region!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but feel somewhat solemn.

The forthcoming Q&A session could well be another arduous test!

As Bai Xiaosheng sat down, he prepared himself for what was to come.
