Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 1444 - 1282: Both Sides Confront, King Meets King_2

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1282: Both Sides Confront, King Meets King_2

One of the five Executive Officers!

Amidst their gradual surprise, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions quickly composed themselves, showing no hint of emotion, and walked toward Soruns and Shen Peishen.

Bai Xiaosheng believed that the most prominent person in the room was Soruns.

After all, Soruns was like the center of attention here.

As they approached, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but think to himself, "Could this Soruns be the President of the Asian Region? But that shouldn’t be the case; shouldn’t it be an Asian or someone of Chinese descent? Seeing black or white faces among the Executive Officers is acceptable, but the head of the Asian Region should be an Asian face, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t entirely sure.

The information he had did not match the current situation.

Bai Xiaosheng and Soruns had met once before, but that hardly meant anything and was not something to pin hopes on.

Even with Ryan, Bai Xiaosheng and the others living at his house and having a close relationship with his son Sun Jierui, they didn’t feel that they should expect any help from him.

Business is business, personal is personal.

Besides, they didn’t owe them anything.

In the workplace, relationships are important, but one shouldn’t overestimate them and assume that they guarantee support.

Even if Sophia didn’t help them today, or even sided against them, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t find it inappropriate.

Their positions were simply different.

Bai Xiaosheng was someone who didn’t place his hopes on external forces.

Lei Ying also maintained a calm demeanor.

He too, like Bai Xiaosheng, "understood the situation."

Seeing these people, Lin Weiwei initially had a glint of delight in her eyes, but seeing the expressions of Lei Ying and Bai Xiaosheng, her little excitement was suppressed in her heart.

"Relying on external forces may allow you to ride the waves temporarily, but you can never expect to be invincible with them."

Bai Xiaosheng had advised them with this saying more than once.

Lin Weiwei had suffered because of this before, so she dared not entertain such thoughts anymore.

...

As Bai Xiaosheng and his group approached, Soruns looked at the three with a distant expression, appearing indifferent, as if he didn’t recognize them at all.

It was understandable.

This was a formal occasion, involving official matters, so how could they start making connections as soon as they met?

Soon, the two parties came together.

Bai Xiaosheng and his group were brought over by someone, and naturally, the person who brought them introduced, "This is Mr. Soruns, the President of the European Region! This time, the meetings of the major business divisions were chaired by the presidents of each division on a rotating basis, and for our Asian Region, it’s chaired by Mr. Soruns! He is fully responsible for all major matters during this period."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng and the others were startled.

They hadn’t received this news before!

Even if there were last-minute changes, they should have been notified before the meeting started, yet no one informed them?!

Not just Lin Weiwei or Lei Ying, but even Bai Xiaosheng restrained their surprise, and avoided looking at Fang Beijun.

Fang Beijun should have told them this news!

Even if it wasn’t safe to send someone due to too many onlookers around, sending a message via phone should have been manageable!

Yet, Fang Beijun did not!

In the hearts of Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, there was a vague sense of anger and a foreboding feeling.

Fang Beijun had a poor reputation in the Greater China Region; rumors about how he ascended to the position of Senior Affairs Officer were numerous and ugly.

It was heard that in his youth, he even betrayed his own people.

However, when coming here, Bai Xiaosheng had mentioned that trusting someone is crucial, and doubting them without basis is unwise. Once analyzing that Fang Beijun could be a trustworthy ally, there should be no internal conflict among their own ranks as it would be foolish.

But now it seemed their trust might have been misplaced...

Otherwise, such important news would not have been withheld by Fang Beijun.

With the loss of the crucial support of the President of the Asian Region, Fang Beijun’s actions were somewhat worrying.

With a sudden unease, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying became nervous.

"Mr. Soruns, hello." Bai Xiaosheng politely shook hands with Soruns.

Soruns was courteous yet distant.

As Bai Xiaosheng turned to Shen Peishen, Shen Peishen’s face had turned somewhat displeased as he spoke in a low voice, scolding, "Bai Xiaosheng, what the heck are you doing here at headquarters? Don’t you know this act is overreaching! I asked you to report back at the Greater China Region Headquarters, yet you dare defy orders. Do you even regard me, the President of the Greater China Region?!"

Shen Peishen’s reprimand was both partially intentional and genuinely infuriated. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Does Mr. Shen not know?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

It seemed he wasn’t the only one in the dark.

"Know what?!" Shen Peishen asked with a frown.

"The next part is the accountability session regarding the issues you’ve committed!" Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes gleamed coldly, his voice unhurried and steady.

Shen Peishen was stunned, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The next session was to investigate him?!

Actually, when Bai Xiaosheng appeared, Shen Peishen had some suspicions, but hearing the confirmed news, his mind was still shaken.

"You, to report me? Overstepping authority?!" Shen Peishen angrily exclaimed.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

"Sir Shen, you flatter me; I’m not so oblivious to the hierarchy. Headquarters wouldn’t allow such a scenario, so there’s no need to specifically remind Mr. Soruns," Bai Xiaosheng made direct eye contact with Fang Beijun and responded word by word, "I am here on behalf of Elder Xia. He is the initiator of the accountability against you, and I am merely the presenter of facts!"

Shen Peishen’s eyes trembled.

It was Xiahou Qi!

Ever since he woke up, Shen Peishen had made great efforts to keep an eye on him, observing whom he met, what he said, and even whether he had made any calls, he was nearly completely aware!
