Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Besieged by a Mob
Mr. Zhao Beiqing watched Bai Xiaosheng with a cold eye.
If it were any other Affairs Officer, they would not dare to dismiss someone of equal standing so lightly, and would instead try to foster good relations.
Especially someone as young as Bai Xiaosheng; the younger they are, the more it indicates that there may be someone powerful behind them.
But Mr. Zhao Beiqing simply didn’t care about these things.
He prided himself on having handled his affairs cleanly in the past, leaving no leverage for others.
And frankly, he couldn’t care less about those corporate connections.
At his age, he had long given up on any hopes of promotion.
He didn’t want a promotion anyway!
What’s the use of becoming a Senior Affairs Officer or the President of the Greater China Region at Zhenbei Group?
A few million, tens of millions in annual salary?
He, Zhao Beiqing, wasn’t without earnings now!
Zhao Beiqing had already established a stable and strong relationship with Mr. Lu, as well as these companies, even if he left Zhenbei Group!
He believed that the business would continue as usual!
Mr. Lu would continue his hunt, and he would continue to mediate with these companies!
The money would keep rolling in without fail!
Would Zhao Beiqing, who was "fearless and desireless", fear the title of Affairs Officer held by Bai Xiaosheng?
What a joke!
Zhao Beiqing assumed the position of an elder, and his message to Bai Xiaosheng was clear: get lost.
Unfortunately, this young man actually dared to challenge him!
Around them, more than a dozen business owners had gathered.
Seeing Zhao Beiqing’s displeasure, they immediately spoke up, confronting Bai Xiaosheng.
After all, they weren’t from Zhenbei Group and had no reservations about an Affairs Officer.
"I say, young man, what kind of mess are you creating here?"
"Mr. Zhao Beiqing is in charge here, and it’s about to be settled!"
"You’re not here to steal the credit, are you? It’s shameful to do so, young man!"
"What business do you have intervening like this?"
"Although I’m not from your group, I know there are rules in the workplace, and you can’t break them anytime! You’re ruining the rules!"
"Yes, don’t you know the rules of the workplace? By doing this, you’re overstepping your bounds!"
These accusations came one after another.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying watched them with a frosty detachment.
But Bai Xiaosheng remained calm and collected, seemingly deaf to their words and even smiling as he listened.
Zhang Heran and his son Zhang Tianze didn’t dare to utter a word, nor dare to persuade.
Mr. Zhao Beiqing looked around, hearing only the voices supporting him, and a slight smugness crept over him, his mouth curving into a cold smirk.
This greenhorn, completely oblivious to how the world works, is trying to snatch the food from my plate!
Now, let you face the finger-pointing from all around!
If you don’t leave now, it will be turned uglier for you later!
Mr. Zhao Beiqing thought to himself.
While Bai Xiaosheng was listening, he suddenly turned and walked away.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances, following behind him.
Those present thought Bai Xiaosheng was about to leave, but they saw him approach the bar instead.
"Bring me a glass of Finsbury gin," Bai Xiaosheng motioned to the dumbfounded bartender with two sharp snaps of his fingers.
The bartender quickly got his act together, hurriedly mixed the cocktail, and then handed it to Bai Xiaosheng with reverence.
Facing "numerous enemies" with such composure, even the bartender couldn’t help but admire him.
Bai Xiaosheng sipped from his drink while smiling at the crowd, his eyes revealing that he found their behavior amusing.
He disdained engaging in a war of words with so many.
The real show had just begun, and Lu Zhixin hadn’t even arrived yet.
If he lacked even this bit of patience, then all his experience over the past year would have been in vain.
Moreover, his presence here was only out of respect for an old acquaintance, to rescue the Zhang Family, not to get into verbal sparring.
Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze was languid, his eyes clearly conveying the message:
Feel free to ridicule, but after today, I fear you will no longer have the chance.
The Finsbury gin was refreshing to the taste, and stimulating too—it really suited the occasion.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stood on either side of Bai Xiaosheng, giving the crowd cold, disdainful stares.
A group of jumping clowns are making a racket—it’s not worth paying attention to them.
But to Mr. Zhao Beiqing, it seemed like Bai Xiaosheng was entirely suppressed by them, just pretending to be calm.
The business owners present grew more bored with each accusation, and since the other party wasn’t responding, treating them as if they were thin air, what was the point of even speaking?
After all, they were all people with reputations, and they couldn’t just resort to cursing. Repeating the same few accusations felt monotonous after a while.
Over time, the business owners also became a bit disheartened and disinterested.
"Alright, alright. Gentlemen, please show some grace," Mr. Zhao Beiqing, seeing the mood sinking, timely spoke up to everyone. "This person is, after all, a colleague of mine. For my sake, please hold back your comments a bit."
This naturally wasn’t to give Bai Xiaosheng a way out, but rather a way out for those business owners.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collectively praised Mr. Zhao Beiqing’s magnanimity and generosity.
The Zhang father and son were sweating bullets at this moment.
Seizing this opportunity, Zhang Tianze finally admitted in a low voice to his father that it was he who had invited Bai Xiaosheng.
Zhang Heran was startled and quickly used his eyes to signal his son to stop.
"Don’t tell anyone, it’s that Lin Sheng who came on his own!"
Zhang Heran lowered his voice and hurriedly reminded his son.
Right now, this Lin Sheng was already ostracized by Mr. Zhao Beiqing, and even when Mr. Lu Zhixin, the Provincial Industrial Head of Hexi Province, arrived later, he was afraid that it wouldn’t have any effect.
Some young kid challenging these career heavyweights—it was a death wish!
Even if his position was considerable, it was still far less than the experience and connections of people like Mr. Zhao Beiqing and Mr. Lu Zhixin.
Zhang Heran firmly believed.
This "Lin Sheng" coming here was tantamount to seeking his own humiliation!
Zhang Heran sighed.
Today, their Zhang Family was making a painful decision to exchange their film and television city for safety—it was inevitable.
In Zhang Tianze’s eyes, there was deep disappointment and dejection.
He hadn’t expected the person he had begged so earnestly to come would end up performing so poorly at the start!
Could it be that even as a Senior Affairs Officer, the gap was this huge...
Zhang Tianze inwardly sighed and even felt a faint sympathy towards Bai Xiaosheng.
"Mr. Lu Zhixin has arrived!"
Suddenly, a loud call came.
The door to the small hall was pushed open.
Surrounded by a group of people, one man strode in.
A middle-aged man with a broad forehead, thinning hair, narrow eyes, and a seemingly smiling, non-smiling expression on his face, his presence as he walked was formidable.
The Provincial Industrial Head of Hexi Province—Mr. Lu Zhixin!
"Finally, he’s here," Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
Mr. Zhao Beiqing had a smiling face as he stepped forward eagerly, followed by the Zhang father and son.
The big business owners were also full of enthusiasm as they followed closely behind.
Mr. Lu Zhixin had arrived!
This "lavish feast" was about to begin!
"Mr. Lu, you’ve finally made it; we’ve been waiting for you, haha," laughed Mr. Zhao Beiqing, not forgetting to introduce himself, "I am Officer Zhao Beiqing, entrusted by friends, I also intend to do something for our group, so I took the liberty to act as a mediator."
Mr. Lu Zhixin shook hands with him with a smile, "Officer Zhao, I’ve heard a lot about you! I am Lu Zhixin, the Provincial Industrial Head of Hexi Province!"
The two of them chatted amiably, and it seemed as if they were genuinely meeting for the first time.
The big business owners were also chuckling, well aware of the truth, but none burst the bubble.
If anyone really thought that these two big shots didn’t know each other, it was probably only the Zhang Family people—those kept in the dark, like lambs to the slaughter!
"Come on, let’s sit over there," invited Mr. Zhao Beiqing with unmatched enthusiasm, as if he were the host leading Mr. Lu Zhixin.
His gaze unintentionally fell on that "Lin Sheng" across the room.
"Lin Sheng" was brimming with smiles, holding a cocktail, standing there without any indication of coming over.
This guy, wasn’t he supposed to mediate?
What, not coming over?
Mr. Zhao Beiqing thought to himself.
Has he given up, or what?
He can’t be bothered with him!
He wants to be an onlooker?
Then let him watch how they go about—
"aboveboard" business!
