Chapter 2966: Chapter 2054: The Outcome Is Decided

"Chairman Xuanyu, look at this—" Korte saw that the majority of those present had voted in favor of the board.

A smile naturally spread across his face as he politely reminded Bai Xuanyu to recognize the reality before him.

At this moment, a shadow flickered in Bai Xuanyu’s eyes, as the outcome was unexpected for him.

However, with Korte’s proposal, Wen Yan leading, the two vice directors following, and Bai Xiaosheng concluding, it seemed like a prearranged agreement.

Someone had secretly colluded with the board, and this was truly infuriating!

To be honest, Bai Xuanyu felt very angry, but he couldn’t lose his temper in front of Korte and everyone else.

He deeply gazed at Bai Xiaosheng and Wen Yan, with a significant look, lingering a bit longer on Bai Xiaosheng.

"Chairman Xuanyu?" Korte spoke again.

Bai Xuanyu came back to his senses and looked at Korte.

He had agreed to let everyone vote, so regardless of the outcome, he had to accept it, as going back on his word was not his style.

Bai Xuanyu was a man of dignity.

After a moment of composure, Bai Xuanyu, with controlled emotions, calmly said to Korte, "It seems the vote’s outcome is clear. Since the majority of our management agrees that the board’s decision is correct, I have to reserve my personal opinion!"

Bai Xuanyu was indicating to Korte that even though he couldn’t change the outcome, he personally still disagreed.

Korte smiled at Bai Xuanyu and said, "Your opinion will be conveyed to the board."

As long as Bai Xuanyu acknowledged the result, personal agreement was irrelevant since nothing could be altered.

"Alright, since the matter is settled, Mr. Korte, I am quite busy, so I must excuse myself." With that, Bai Xuanyu stood up.

Lastly, Bai Xuanyu glanced at everyone present and left directly.

Korte rose to see him off with a contented smile, feeling absolutely delighted even as Bai Xuanyu departed.

Two years ago, he came representing the board, full of ambition, thinking that he would surely achieve something, only to be cornered by Bai Xuanyu, leaving him humiliated and embarrassed.

Now, the tables had turned, and Bai Xuanyu never expected to face such a day!

Korte felt a sense of delightful revenge, his smile unrestrained and genuine from the heart.

"Thanks to all the vice directors here, and also to Mr. Wen Yan for your support." Korte turned to everyone with a smile and said, "In the future, you will see firsthand how correct your decision today was!"

Some nodded while others remained silent; there were both supporters and dissenters.

Blanche also looked around with a delighted smile, but when she saw Bai Xiaosheng, her eyes involuntarily flickered.

The newly appointed vice director unexpectedly showed such competence...

Even Blanche did not deeply understand the details and backstory.

Among the attendees, Li Yunyuan looked at Bai Xiaosheng and Wen Yan with disappointment and confusion.

The two young men he valued most made the most unexpected choices in this matter, leaving him at a loss for words.

Regardless of any secrets behind it, nothing could be changed at this point.

The board, in the end, had entered! Li Yunyuan couldn’t help but sigh.

As many watched him, Bai Xiaosheng lowered his gaze, staring intently at the table in front of him.

In the past, regardless of whether his decisions were right or wrong, he never regretted them and faced everything head-on.

But today, at this moment, for some reason, he felt a sense of emptiness inside.

He couldn’t pinpoint the problem, just a feeling of insecurity.

...

"Alright, everyone." Wen Yan said with a smile, "It’s getting late, so if the vice directors have no other plans, please proceed to the ’Moon Palace,’ where I have arranged a welcome banquet for Mr. Korte and Miss Blanche."

The Moon Palace is a high-standard Chinese restaurant in the Zhenbei Group building, perfect for hosting guests.

"It’s been a while since I tasted the delicacies of the Moon Palace."

"Yes, we should try it."

Hearing Wen Yan, several vice directors nodded in agreement with smiles.

At this time, Li Yunyuan stood up, calmly saying to Korte, "Mr. Korte, unfortunately, I have other arrangements, so I won’t be joining you."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Li. I’ll visit you another time," Korte replied with a smile, "There will be plenty of opportunities as we’ll be visiting the headquarters more often."

Li Yunyuan casually nodded, greeted Wen Yan, and, after glancing at Bai Xiaosheng, left.

Afterwards, another vice director stood up, stating they couldn’t join for lunch. Korte also saw them off with a smile.

With two of the six vice directors gone, that left four, plus Wen Yan, Korte, and the Blanche siblings, making a total of seven.

Under Wen Yan’s invitation, everyone stood up and proceeded.

Along the way, Wen Yan and Korte engaged in close conversation, chatting and laughing. The other three vice directors formed their own circle, conversing amongst themselves.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, appeared to be alone, somewhat isolated, and remained silent, not engaging with others.

Blanche noticed this "outsider" Bai Xiaosheng with a touch of curiosity in her eyes.

In conversations with Wen Yan and Korte, she had little to contribute, and talking with the older individuals seemed dull, so she quietly approached Bai Xiaosheng.

After walking alongside him for a while, Blanche cautiously said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai?"

"Hm?" Bai Xiaosheng snapped out of his reverie and looked at Blanche with an inquisitive gaze, unsure of what she wanted to say to him.
