straightforward or naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, once he became emotional, he would lose all restraint, even going so far as to talk back to his superiors publicly, not just once or twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he had managed to occupy the seat of an Affairs Officer had always seemed incredibly surreal to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the more single-minded a person is, sometimes their convictions turn out to be astonishingly firm, making it difficult to convince anyone when trying to frame such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Zhang Wenxin was seated quite securely in the unique position of an Affairs Officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn’t have many friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng could be considered one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Chen Yucheng was slandered, the most anxious person was Zhang Wenxin, and he was also the one who found it the hardest to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his agitation, Zhang Wenxin’s old problem flared up, and he actually pressured Bai Xiaosheng publicly to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was outrageous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the authority of the Senior Affairs Officer be violated by subordinates so casually!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng didn’t mince words either and furiously scolded him, wanting to throw him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Zhang Wenxin was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, Wenxin didn’t mean to offend intentionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you won’t take it to heart,” Chen Yucheng hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a placating smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe exchanged a silent glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenxin was always like this, and maybe Bai Xiaosheng would just make a show of it and scold him a bit—after all, they were both from the Department of Affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Affairs Officer Chen, one or two sentences I could take as unintentional, but so many words clearly sound like ordering me around!” Bai Xiaosheng said angrily, “And you’re telling me not to take it to heart?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If every Senior Affairs Officer had to endure their subordinates commanding them and was told not to take it to heart, where would the dignity of a Senior Affairs Officer be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How then, would I continue with my work in the future!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be genuinely angry, rebuking even Chen Yucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe felt a secret pleasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenxin overstepped alone, and Chen Yucheng was implicated because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really had it coming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, I didn’t mean that…” Zhang Wenxin still refused to admit defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Out!” Bai Xiaosheng shouted angrily, outright refusing to listen to his explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ying strode over with a grim face and actually grabbed Zhang Wenxin, forcefully dragging him away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenxin, being rather weak, was in no position to compete with Lei Ying in terms of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t do this, Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng!” Zhang Wenxin yelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng turned a deaf ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenxin was forcibly pushed out the door by Lei Ying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this goes on, Chen Yucheng will be unlucky too,” Lei Ying pressed his voice low and said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Wenxin watched as the door closed, filled with annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought about knocking but remembered Lei Ying’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feigned the gesture twice, not daring to actually knock, and ultimately had to leave, disheartened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, it’s Zhang Wenxin’s fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please be lenient!” Chen Yucheng pleaded once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surname Bai, would he take the opportunity to relent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin paid particular attention to Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Affairs Officer Chen, your own issues are not yet resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry about others!” Bai Xiaosheng sat down indifferently with a thunderous look, casting a gloomy glance at Chen Yucheng, “Or are you saying that you want to leave as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to Tianqiu with good intentions to invite you to dine, but one by one, you’re not giving me face!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes were fierce, seeming to take true offense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, anyone would be angry if, upon inviting subordinates to a meal, they would get talked back to by their direct subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin quietly gave Sun Youhe a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, no matter how lucky he was, was after all still a young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young people, after all, care about saving face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when placed in a high position, eager to be respected and recognized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, give him face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Affairs Officer Sheng, with your esteemed status, why bother with him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, getting angry is bad for your health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Affairs Officer Zhang has always been blunt, everyone knows this: there’s no need for you to bother with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe comforted him with laughter while serving tea and fruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They behaved respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This attitude significantly eased Bai Xiaosheng’s angry expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still somewhat silent, he nodded his head, his aura also considerably restrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe shifted the topic, discussing many legends they had heard about Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair complemented each other, expressing admiration without overdoing it, singing Bai Xiaosheng’s praises indirectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, at first, neither of them dared to be too ostentatious, fearing this Senior Affairs Officer Sheng might not appreciate such flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew that Bai Xiaosheng initially managed to keep his composure, but the pride in his eyes betrayed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the triumph was plainly visible on Bai Xiaosheng’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed quite pleased with others’ respectful and flattering compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe were even more enthusiastic in their praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Chen Yucheng, Bai Xiaosheng completely ignored him, even when Chen Yucheng tried to join the conversation, Bai Xiaosheng displayed an indifferent expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation was cursory and inattentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng felt somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene delighted Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had long heard that Bai Xiaosheng was even tougher on people from the Affairs Department than on those outside of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, why would he have investigated officials who had taken over provincial industry responsibilities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like the rumors were true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph, he became a Senior Affairs Officer at such a young age, seeking vanity, and wanting to establish authority within the Affairs Department—is that why he’s being domineering among his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin wore a smile on his face, but internally, he held immense contempt for Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Youhe, on the other hand, thought differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was earnestly trying to leave a good impression on Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Youhe firmly believed that first impressions could influence many aspects that follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laying a good foundation for an impression and scoring high on it never hurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of Zhang Wenxin’s recklessness, Chen Yucheng lost points on first impressions, and even if he tried to make up for it later, it would likely cost him ten to a hundred times more effort!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Sun Youhe worked hard to bridge a relationship with Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After conversing for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the banquet began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of Bai Xiaosheng, Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe frequently toasted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng also showed a lot of face in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng, on the side, seemed to feel the need to build rapport and ease the awkwardness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too, smiled broadly and raised his glass to join them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, when Bai Xiaosheng saw him, his smile immediately became stern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Affairs Officer Chen Yucheng, we are technically of the same department, so our relationship should be closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are my direct subordinate, and I should offer you some pointers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng nodded eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As an Affairs Officer, one should know propriety, understand when to advance or retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this is our first meeting, there are some things I still need to remind you of, don’t think that seniority allows you to ignore your leadership.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng gave a half-hearted smile but his words were blunt and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, I’ll certainly remember your advice this time,” Chen Yucheng replied, nodding continuously and displaying an eager-to-learn demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won’t talk about your issues today, but if there are problems, proactively report them to the Affairs Department.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And don’t always be driven by performance, stalking and shadowing the two provincial industry heads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You haven’t cleared up your own issues yet; remember, the blacksmith must himself be hard!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng exerted his authority, repeatedly “instructing” Chen Yucheng, an officer ten years his senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng’s expression slowly turned awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After agreeing to the points, Chen Yucheng became a bit despondent and dared not toast anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Chen Yucheng, you too have seen such days!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe watched, feeling secretly thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The banquet continued until nine in the evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the crowd dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was clearly much more amicable to Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe than to Chen Yucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once out of the hotel, Guo Yunxin and his group drove back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the car, Guo Yunxin couldn’t help but burst into hearty laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about it, old Sun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Bai Xiaosheng is just so-so!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone wants to be respected and flattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one is an exception!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Youhe also nodded and smiled, “I fancy myself as somewhat skilled in judging people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But observing carefully from beginning to end, I’m absolutely certain that Bai Xiaosheng was truly annoyed with Chen Yucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no mistake!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Youhe was also brimming with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know that in terms of controlling facial expressions, Bai Xiaosheng’s ability far surpassed his own by a factor of ten or even a hundred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe returned home full of satisfaction and joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Chen Yucheng left the banquet with a frown, only to smile once he reached his own place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, Zhang Wenxin approached with a face full of anxiety and guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yucheng, did I cause you trouble this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yucheng smiled, patted his good friend on the shoulder, and said something meaningful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it was me who caused you trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you for your hard work!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1643,"2026-06-05T17:42:59.299Z",1,"novelbin.me","cf2c4e8fcdba04d8d3555536d549caad464c72bfc351b1245894d1cc3e63e980","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1057","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1055",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
