Chapter 2981 - 2061: What Do You Want!? (Part 2)

Chapter 2981: Chapter 2061: What Do You Want!? (Part 2)

That’s too ignorant! Too indulgent!

The latter part, Mr. Role didn’t express aloud, but there was obvious dissatisfaction on his face.

Wen Yan glanced at Bai Xiaosheng’s back, then turned to smile at Role, reassuring him, "Mr. Role, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s personality has always been carefree, you’ll know after spending some time with him, it’s all unintentional. Mr. Role, you’re a magnanimous person, there’s no need to worry about such trivial matters."

With Wen Yan’s soothing words, and out of respect for Wen Yan, Role reluctantly nodded, choosing not to hold Bai Xiaosheng’s "impoliteness" against him.

The two of them entered the banquet hall one after the other.

Raising his eyes, Wen Yan inadvertently glanced at Bai Xiaosheng’s direction, somehow feeling that Bai Xiaosheng seemed a bit strange...

The banquet did not last long, quickly reaching its conclusion.

After the event, Role enthusiastically accompanied by the headquarters’ administration and logistics supervisors, and took Blanche, his appointed chief assistant, to eagerly explore his own office.

All the vice chairmen, business presidents, and senior executives of the headquarters dispersed.

...

As Wen Yan returned to his office, Ruan Yu approached, inquiring with concern, "Was everything alright over there?"

"Yes." Wen Yan understood her reference, nodded, walked behind his desk to sit down, and said, "There were no unexpected situations..."

Before he finished speaking, someone directly pushed the door open, attracting Wen Yan and Ruan Yu’s attention.

This was Mr. Wen Yan’s office from the Supervision Department. Who was bold enough to enter without knocking, causing Ruan Yu’s eyes to become sharp?

But when they saw who it was, they were both taken aback.

The one who barged in without manners was none other than—Bai Xiaosheng.

Ruan Yu couldn’t help but look at Wen Yan with surprise.

Wen Yan remained calm, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a faint smile, and began, "Sheng, haven’t returned to your office? Are you looking for me about something?"

Bai Xiaosheng gazed at Wen Yan for a second, then looked at Ruan Yu, showing a calm smile, "Ms. Ruan Yu, could you make me a cup of green tea?"

"Oh... sure!" Ruan Yu regained her composure, walking towards the nearby bar, saying, "We have a dozen varieties of green tea here, I wonder which kind Mr. Bai chooses..."

"Ms. Ruan Yu."

Bai Xiaosheng interrupted Ruan Yu, saying, "I have some newly acquired green tea with an excellent taste. Could you please go fetch it?"

This remark left Ruan Yu stunned, involuntarily looking at Bai Xiaosheng with confusion.

Didn’t know guests requesting their own tea would have the host’s side fetch it.

"Go ahead, Ruan Yu." Wen Yan looked at Bai Xiaosheng and spoke.

With Wen Yan’s instruction, Ruan Yu had no choice but to head outside, passing by Bai Xiaosheng who was standing at the door. Her eyelashes fluttered, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Once Ruan Yu exited, Bai Xiaosheng locked the door behind her, then walked over to Wen Yan, pulled a chair opposite him, and sat down.

Outside, Ruan Yu also heard the sound, gently pushed on the door, finding it locked, and her eyes flashed briefly.

But ultimately, Ruan Yu decided to leave and go obtain the tea leaves from Bai Xiaosheng’s place.

She moved quickly, at least twice her usual speed...

In the office, Wen Yan quietly watched Bai Xiaosheng’s series of actions until Bai Xiaosheng sat down and met his gaze, then smiled, saying, "What’s the matter with you, do you have something to say to me? You don’t need to hide it from Ruan Yu, she’s trustworthy like Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying."

"How is your plan progressing with the board?" Bai Xiaosheng asked directly.

His expression, still unchanged.

Wen Yan was startled, gazing at Bai Xiaosheng, then replied, "You’re asking about that? It’s going smoothly."

"So when can we see the results you mentioned?" Bai Xiaosheng asked again.

Wen Yan smiled, "Such matters can’t be rushed..."

"Three to five years, ten to twenty years." Bai Xiaosheng looked directly into Wen Yan’s eyes, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Or perhaps never."

These words rendered Wen Yan silent.

"You told me, letting someone from the board enter wouldn’t change the big status quo, but would instead curb their growing madness, and I believed you."

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "You told me, we could take the opportunity to introduce those opposed to Perros within the board, creating internal conflicts, leading them to chaotic long-term strategies, solving issues across an extended period, and I believed you too."

Bai Xiaosheng’s voice gradually increased.

"But I have just learned that there’s no opposition within the board! Perros rules supreme, and the board is united!"

"How do you explain this!"

After finishing, Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze had a hint of sharpness.

He trusted Wen Yan, so he didn’t investigate, he just waited.

But having trust betrayed is inherently cruel.

Learning Wen Yan had deceived him was even harder for him to accept.

For a long time, the two were like friends, even brothers, with sincerity and trust as their foundation.

Yet now, this foundation showed cracks.

"Is it just this matter." Wen Yan’s reaction wasn’t significant, instead playing with a pen on his desk, slowly speaking, "I admit, in this matter, I deceived you."

Bai Xiaosheng squinted slightly at Wen Yan, listening to him continue.

"Because I know you too well, you weigh pros and cons sometimes too cautiously, I was afraid one reason wouldn’t convince you." Wen Yan said slowly, "But you must admit, letting the board in is not a scary, bad thing. It helps relieve tensions between the management and the board, allowing the board’s actions to soften, and—"

"It can create a new subtle balance within our headquarters management!"

This was the explanation Wen Yan gave, his demeanor calm and composed as if Bai Xiaosheng was making a big deal out of nothing.

"The so-called subtle balance refers to restraining Bai Xuanyu’s side, right." Bai Xiaosheng spoke in a low voice, "For a long time, the forces supporting Bai Xuanyu have been above yours, until you and I together eliminated Morgan and Caroline’s forces!"

Bai Xiaosheng’s words clearly questioned the motives of Wen Yan’s actions, showing suspicion towards him.

"Did we do something wrong!"

Facing such questioning, Wen Yan seemed genuinely somewhat angry, slamming the pen in his hand onto the table.

"Morgan and Caroline are such disasters for the group, you’re the one who knows best! Should we tolerate them just because Morgan supported Bai Xuanyu, bringing a semblance of balance, do we have to indulge them? What error is there in dealing with them!"

Wen Yan retorted to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng solemnly pressed, "When did you realize Morgan and Caroline had issues?!"

"What do you mean?" Wen Yan frowned.

"You oversee the entire Supervision Department, have eyes everywhere, I’m sure you knew of Morgan and Caroline’s problems long before. When we were combating Morgan and Caroline, you provided extensive evidence, coordinated forces wisely, indicating that you’ve known everything for a while, and even had plans to deal with them! But you delayed taking action... because you were also cautious of your own power!"

Bai Xiaosheng spoke loudly, "Until I appeared, you supported my efforts to win over Lu Cheng’an, Li Yunyuan, and other neutral vice chairmen, accumulating enough success rate, ensuring you wouldn’t suffer backlash, then you acted—why is that!"

"Now, with shifts, you can already contend with Bai Xuanyu, yet you still wish to introduce the board’s side to create this so-called balance!"

"Do you call this balance, do you think it’s balance? Or are you aiming to completely suppress Bai Xuanyu’s side!"

At this point, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t control his emotions, slamming his palm on the table, demanding, "Wen Yan, what exactly do you want!"

"I know what I want! Are you lecturing me!" Wen Yan’s eyes were fierce, slamming the table in response.

For a long time, these two had never raised their voices at each other, never argued.

But at this moment, they couldn’t control their emotions!
