Chapter 2967: Chapter 2054: The Outcome Is Settled (Part 2)

"You don’t seem to be in high spirits," Blanche leaned over slightly, lowered her voice, and said, "What’s the matter? Voted in favor and now feeling a bit regretful?"

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Wen Yan and Korte, who were walking ahead and chatting happily, looked at Blanche, and with a faint smile said, "Miss Blanche, you’re joking. What regrets are there? Do I have to be as joyful as you to be considered in high spirits?"

Realizing that even this girl noticed his mood, Bai Xiaosheng also began to adjust himself.

Blanche distanced herself a bit, glanced up and down at Bai Xiaosheng, and he couldn’t help looking at her, unclear as to why she was observing him like this.

"Are you always so unconventional in your words and actions?" Blanche suddenly asked.

Bai Xiaosheng was somewhat puzzled by this question and then turned to look ahead, calmly saying, "What’s unconventional about me? I don’t see it myself."

Upon hearing this, Blanche couldn’t help but purse her lips.

What’s unconventional?

A vice director teaching subordinates to provoke others, a vice director who seems out of place and out of sync with the old veterans,

Isn’t this called unconventional...

"Let me tell you, Mr. Bai, I will become the chief executive officer under the new vice director, and come to the headquarters for training. We have plenty of opportunities to interact. Ah, I’m not very familiar with this place, so I’ll have to consult you more often." Blanche again spoke softly to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng just glanced at her without agreeing or refusing.

The corners of Blanche’s mouth, however, curled into a smile, as if she had already figured him out.

Soon, everyone arrived at the "Moon Palace."

Bai Xiaosheng’s days at the group headquarters were not many; he had only visited the "Moon Palace" once before, making this his second visit.

The Zhenbei Group ultimately originates as a major conglomerate from Huaxia, with a high proportion of Chinese at the headquarters, and the "Moon Palace" is also purely Huaxia-style, catering to everyone’s preferences.

On this floor of the skyscraper, there is a several-meter-high atrium, equipped with a temperature-controlled central air conditioning system. The central area is comparable to a small park square, and there is truly a transplanted giant osmanthus tree full of fairy-like elegance.

Additionally, pavilions, towers, small bridges, and flowing streams are all well-furnished.

As an ecological restaurant within the skyscraper, this place is definitely unique.

Wen Yan had greeted them earlier, and today the "Moon Palace" was not open to the public, specially hosting Korte, Blanche, and their party.

Aside from the brother and sister, even their entourage had meals arranged here.

The banquet hall for these seven people is actually not large, as only a few individuals dined together.

Though the banquet hall is small, all furnishings and decorations inside are quite extraordinary, all newly arranged, appearing elegant and exquisite.

"This place is really nice, I think I’d like to come often in the future." Korte still said, smiling at Wen Yan.

"You can come often; you’ll love the cuisine here," Wen Yan replied with a smile.

After everyone was seated, Wen Yan had the staff begin serving.

Although the dishes were all Chinese, they adhered to the Western-style separate serving method. Around the table, everyone exchanged glasses, and the atmosphere gradually began to warm up.

During the meal, Korte once again focused his attention on Bai Xiaosheng, both toasting and chatting, showing a willingness to befriend and get close.

Bai Xiaosheng responded appropriately with a smile.

Wen Yan watched this scene, a smile appearing on his face.

Just then, Wen Yan’s phone, placed on the table, suddenly rang. He glanced at it and smiled apologetically at Korte.

"I’ll take a call; Mr. Korte, you all keep eating and chatting."

"Alright." Korte smiled and nodded.

Wen Yan got up and left the table, Bai Xiaosheng watched him leave, his gaze flickering slightly.

With Wen Yan’s departure as a disruption, a vice director beside took over the conversation and began chatting with Korte.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng found an opportunity and quietly left the table.

Bai Xiaosheng left, and several present noticed but didn’t mind. Even Blanche just glanced and returned to indulging in Huaxia cuisine.

Elsewhere, Bai Xiaosheng exited the banquet hall, stood outside the door, and after scanning the area, found his target and walked over.

As Bai Xiaosheng walked over, Wen Yan happened to finish his call and turned to see him.

"Sheng, why are you outside too?" Wen Yan asked with a smile.

"I have a couple of things to say to you." Bai Xiaosheng looked around, pointed to a nearby small pavilion, "There’s no one there, let’s talk over there."

Wen Yan glanced in that direction and nodded.

Without speaking, they walked one behind the other to the small pavilion.

After stopping, Bai Xiaosheng looked at Wen Yan, and with a deep voice said, "Now, the board has passed the resolution to send someone to take over Morgan’s position and duties."

"But this seems to be somewhat different from what you initially told me."

Bai Xiaosheng straightforwardly said, "You mentioned refusing anyone from the chairman and having the opposition on the board send someone; firstly, this resolves the board’s increasingly rampant desire to enter management, and secondly, it can also divide them internally."

"Yes, that’s what I said."

Faced with Bai Xiaosheng’s words, Wen Yan nodded and admitted.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately said, "But the subsequent person to send over wasn’t deliberated in any agenda! Then how do you ensure the person will definitely be from the opposing faction on the board!"

Killing two birds with one stone, or even more, was Bai Xiaosheng’s reason for agreeing to Wen Yan’s plan.

If only to allow the board to achieve their desires, using "relieve" instead of "block," to mitigate their ever-growing ambitions, Bai Xiaosheng would hesitate and not readily agree.

Bai Xiaosheng asking Wen Yan this wasn’t meant to question, but ever since he agreed, he felt uneasy.

On one hand, he wanted to trust Wen Yan, on the other, he felt there were issues with such handling.

"Though we didn’t have an agenda just now, it doesn’t mean it won’t be realized. You know, some matters aren’t suitable to be discussed openly!"

Wen Yan looked directly into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, steady and unwavering, and said sternly, "Trust me, I’ll negotiate with them. As for how, you don’t need to worry, just know that they will eventually agree! If they don’t, I’ll find ways to make them comply!"

"Can you guarantee that?" Bai Xiaosheng asked, focusing intently.

"I can guarantee that!" Wen Yan affirmed confidently.

In the heat of the moment, both couldn’t quite contain the emotional direction.

But soon, both realized this, and simultaneously fell silent, calming emotions to avoid an argument.

"In any case, you must trust me!"

Finally, it was Wen Yan who broke the silence.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him, slowly saying, "If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have raised my hand in agreement during the vote."

Wen Yan smiled, "Then keep trusting!"

Bai Xiaosheng said nothing, glanced back towards the banquet hall, and then said to him, "I hope everything is as you say, and you can eventually deliver a result that satisfies everyone."

"Of course!" Wen Yan patted Bai Xiaosheng’s arm, smiled at him, "Let’s go, regardless of how things go, let’s finish the meal with our guests first."

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

The two returned to the banquet hall again, and upon entering, Korte saw them, immediately raising a glass with a smile and calling out, "The two of you disappeared and missed a couple of drinks, shouldn’t you be punished by having an extra drink?"

Wen Yan smiled and looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "See, we went out and came back to a heap of trouble."

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "Then let’s drink."

The two returned to their seats, drinking with the others.

The meal lasted about an hour; after eating, Korte led Blanche and the others to bid farewell, saying they had to report back to the board, and wouldn’t linger here.

After sending off Korte and his sister, everyone dispersed as well.

Bai Xiaosheng returned all the way to his own office.

Though he had Wen Yan’s assurance, for some unknown reason, the invisible agitation in his heart still lingered.

Facing his desk, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but murmur to himself, "Let’s hope it’s only my undue worry, let’s hope Wen Yan’s plan goes smoothly."
