Chapter 807: Chapter 807: The Crew is Back
"I really didn’t expect the film crew to have all returned!" Speaking on the phone with Song Yiming, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but feel moved and a bit apologetic, "During this time, I’ve been so busy that I’ve been running around like a headless chicken, completely exhausted, and I neglected the time they wrapped up! It’s negligence on my part!"
"What was the original shooting schedule? Have they come back early, or are they late?" Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment, not having any clear idea, and muttered, "Never mind, they’re all back now, no use thinking about those things..."
"Weiwei didn’t tell me, probably because I was in the middle of an assessment at that time. In Weiwei’s eyes, compared to my matters, the film crew’s affairs are probably trivial. After my assessment, I came to the headquarters to report my duties, that girl probably forgot about it too..."
This might be the first time Lin Weiwei "neglected" her duties, but Bai Xiaosheng was not willing to blame her at all.
As soon as he thought of the film crew, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile, Shang Wanwan, Yang Qian’er, Zhao Xiaoying, Gao Ya, Gao Dazhi, Wenqing... Each face was vivid in his mind.
"I’m about to leave Zhongjing Media. The welcome dinner tonight could be a perfect opportunity to bid them farewell!" Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
There was silence during the journey until they reached Zhongjing.
Upon leaving the station, Bai Xiaosheng was met by Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying waiting for him outside.
These two were originally going to meet with Ron, but Bai Xiaosheng had called to stop them.
Upon seeing them, Bai Xiaosheng smiled.
"I really can’t bear to part with you two. Why don’t you come to the headquarters with me this time? Although there isn’t much chance for a promotion, the salary, benefits, and treatment are much better than here, and room and board are included too!" Bai Xiaosheng joked.
"Room and board are free? Count me in!" Lei Ying responded with a smile.
"Great!" Lin Weiwei also smiled.
It was clear that they were both very happy.
The car was waiting outside, with Feng in it.
The trio got into the car and headed back to the company.
In the car, Lin Weiwei suddenly said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Xiaosheng, have you received Song Yiming’s call yet? I... I forgot about the film crew!"
Guilt was evident in Lin Weiwei’s voice.
Lei Ying glanced at Lin Weiwei and then at Bai Xiaosheng, wanting to intercede on her behalf, as the matter was indeed "excusable."
Bai Xiaosheng raised his hand to stop him.
"Weiwei, for this matter, officially I should penalize you, but personally, I should thank you!" Bai Xiaosheng said earnestly, "However, as for punishment, I no longer have the authority or the status to do so."
What Bai Xiaosheng was implying was that Lin Weiwei’s negligence was towards the General Manager of Zhongjing Media, and if there was to be penalization, it should come from the General Manager of Zhongjing Media. At the moment, he was no longer in that position.
He played a game of words to dilute Lin Weiwei’s guilt.
"So, all I have left is to thank you. And, pay attention next time!" Bai Xiaosheng said with a stern look, followed by a smile.
Lin Weiwei uttered a "hmm" and nodded her head firmly.
She would certainly never neglect even the smallest detail from now on, Bai Xiaosheng believed.
Feng couldn’t help but glance through the rearview mirror, confused by Bai Xiaosheng’s mention of "no longer having the status."
It was normal for him to be confused; he wasn’t aware that Bai Xiaosheng was no longer the General Manager of Zhongjing Media.
The official notice, along with the public announcement, would come later.
Not just him, but aside from Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, nobody in the company knew yet.
At half-past one, Bai Xiaosheng and his two colleagues arrived at the company, first went for lunch, and then headed to the office.
Bai Xiaosheng summoned Song Yiming to ask in detail about the arrangements for the dinner, made a few suggestions, and then asked him to gather all the supervisors and managers in the main conference room at four o’clock.
"And Mr. Chen Changqing!" Bai Xiaosheng particularly emphasized, "I have an important announcement to make!"
"Sure!" Song Yiming responded, though he couldn’t help feeling a bit curious.
Meetings were usually held without calling Chen Changqing.
This time, however, they surprisingly wanted to include the "in-name-only" vice president.
Song Yiming was quite curious as to why.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng had no intention of explaining, he tactfully did not ask.
Bai Xiaosheng asked Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to go ahead to the banquet hall to help, while he busied himself with arranging a personnel dismissal and appointment.
"Elder Xia once said that Zhongjing Media’s current situation has not come by easily. He trusts me, so personnel adjustments before his departure are all up to me! The next General Manager will be personally selected by him, someone with a style similar to mine, a fair and selfless person, to set my mind at ease," Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.
Such treatment, Bai Xiaosheng knew, was bestowed upon no other.
Generally, the dismissal and appointment of a subsidiary’s general manager does not require the President of the Greater China Region to be involved.
But here it was different; this was Bai Xiaosheng’s life’s work!
"Zhongjing Media, I hope you will go further and further to become a truly top national enterprise!" Bai Xiaosheng also held this wish.
Busy until four in the afternoon, Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Song Yiming rushed back together.
"Mr. Bai, all the directors and managers are assembled in the third meeting room, waiting for you to come over. It’s just..." Song Yiming hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen isn’t there. I’ve contacted him. He said that he would return in time for the banquet."
"Alright, got it," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a nonchalant smile.
Whether he is there or not, this meeting is just to announce the decision; Chen Changqing’s part is only to receive the notification.
"Let’s go, to the meeting room!" Bai Xiaosheng stood up and said.
At this moment, Chen Changqing was at Chen Jiuzheng’s house, and although others might not know about Bai Xiaosheng becoming the Affairs Officer, he had heard it from his Uncle and hurried over.
"With Bai Xiaosheng leaving, Zhongjing Media will experience a power vacuum. According to past practice, a new appointee needs one week to a month to arrive. During this period, it’s impossible to be without a leader. Following the company’s tradition, the vice president would temporarily take over. I want to take this opportunity to forcibly replace several directors and managers to expand my territory. As for the supervision committee of directors Bai Xiaosheng is setting up, it’s indeed troublesome. Uncle, you’re experienced in the workplace, do you have any clever strategies to deal with this!"
Chen Changqing came to seek wisdom!
When Bai Xiaosheng was around, he had pretended to be pure-hearted, free of desires and strife, and even he himself had believed it.
But now, with Bai Xiaosheng truly leaving!
Chen Changqing’s ambition, suppressed in his heart, suddenly came alive, growing like wild grass.
Now, he had come to seek wisdom from his Uncle.
"You’ve come at just the right time, I was about to discuss this matter with you!" Chen Jiuzheng was also visibly excited.
Even though controlling Zhongjing Media wasn’t as profitable as before, destroying Bai Xiaosheng’s lifework was a form of revenge!
Just thinking about it made Chen Jiuzheng overwhelmingly pleased!
As Chen Changqing was "seeking wisdom," a great disturbance arose in the Zhongjing Media’s third meeting room.
When the directors and managers present learned that Bai Xiaosheng was leaving, they were all shocked and then burst into an uproar.
They expressed their reluctance and sadness!
Bai Xiaosheng was quite moved and, after calming everyone down, he proceeded to announce the second major item: personnel changes.
The most crucial one—he read out the offenses! The dismissal of Vice President Chen Changqing!
Chen Changqing was utterly oblivious.
There, he was still discussing a takeover!
Here, however, he was being directly taken down!
