Bai Xiaosheng looked up at the sky, the sky was blue, looked at the trees, the trees were green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oncoming breeze was warm and pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng even spread his arms and embraced this long-anticipated freedom, under the astonished gazes of the passersby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a while for him to snap back from this pleasant feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Red Lotus, choose for me a subsidiary of Zhenbei Group in this city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be a sizable one,” Bai Xiaosheng instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he was about to take his first step into Zhenbei Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay,” Red Lotus quickly organized the information and implanted it into Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this company also under the Zhenbei Flag?” Bai Xiaosheng was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, let’s go there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Century Construction Real Estate Co., Ltd., one of the major real estate enterprises in Tiannan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, I could get promoted to manager or even a higher position there, let’s see if it suits me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his way to Century Construction, Bai Xiaosheng had lunch and familiarized himself with the company’s information once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The headquarters of Century Construction—Century Building, general manager’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dignified and authoritative middle-aged man was massaging his temples while looking at a report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took good care of himself and looked just over forty, though he was nearly fifty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tired eyes carried a hint of shrewdness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Shang Wenshu, the general manager of Century Construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shang Wenshu was feeling a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Policy factors, market conditions, and strong competitors caused the company’s performance to fall short this year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Shang Wenshu was middle-aged, he was still full of enthusiasm and aspired to climb higher and go further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, belonging to the same group, the real estate companies in several nearby cities performed more impressively, outpacing his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his personal connections within the group weren’t strong, which seemed to fracture his dream of getting promoted to regional manager of the group’s real estate business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even within Century Construction, he didn’t have full authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this continues, not only the regional manager position, but even my current position as general manager is at risk…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Wenshu muttered to himself, clenching his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I had connections within the group, a voice, maybe there would be a chance for a turnaround, unfortunately!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With immense reluctance, Shang Wenshu could only let out a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Century Building, first-floor lobby, reception desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pretty girl sat upright, staring at her computer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Chen Ke, the receptionist at Century Construction’s headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just past lunchtime, the quietest time for visitors, and Chen Ke enjoyed the calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was still quite sleepy and yawned widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when she saw a spirited young man standing outside the counter without knowing when he had arrived, almost catching her full yawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you looking for?!” Chen Ke startled, quickly closing her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who came was Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here to see your general manager Shang Wenshu,” Bai Xiaosheng said politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have an appointment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke shook her head, flatly refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe, you could give this to him for me.” Bai Xiaosheng took out his identity card, fully confident as he showed it to Chen Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, we don’t accept shopping card promotions!” Chen Ke was stunned, then her face showed disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did security let just anyone in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And you, a salesman, want to see Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought his universally effective ID card was actually blocked by a receptionist, and even mistook it for a sales card?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that the card only worked with people of sufficient rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng realized this and then seriously told the receptionist, “Correct, you are doing your job well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, I’m a relative of Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just testing you just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang’s relative?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke looked at Bai Xiaosheng skeptically, clearly unconvinced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Make a call; he will definitely see me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I’m lying, you can call security,” Bai Xiaosheng stated earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you don’t make this call and he gets angry, I won’t take responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng spoke convincingly, as if he were telling the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke suddenly felt a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang’s temper had not been very good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’d better not lie to me!” Chen Ke threatened, glancing sharply at Bai Xiaosheng before actually picking up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, this is Shang Wenshu.” Soon after, the call connected, and Shang Wenshu’s voice carried a tone of authority laced with a hint of irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke instantly became tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang, there’s someone called…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng looking for you, he says he’s your relative,” Chen Ke said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was on the call, Bai Xiaosheng whispered his own name next to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai Xiaosheng?” There was a slight pause on the other end of the line, “Who is that, I don’t have any relatives with the surname Bai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Chen Ke’s face turned pale, and she glared fiercely at Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had really been deceived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Describe him to me,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, showing his ID card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke felt Shang Wenshu’s temper was on the verge of erupting; somewhat flustered, she subconsciously followed Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion, “He…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he’s holding a card, dark gold in color, with a dragon and a tiger, and also the logo of our Zhenbei Group.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a terrifying silence on the other end of the phone, then suddenly, a ‘snap’ as if someone had slammed down the receiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke was nearly scared to tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did it go?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really are a conman!” Chen Ke angrily hung up the phone, shouting, “Security, get this man out of here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was also startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, what exactly did he say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Call him again, I will talk to him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke clenched her teeth in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did she look stupid to them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he won’t come down, then I will go up to find him!” Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly said, seeing that the security guards were really heading their way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke’s face turned white with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang come down for you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You want to go up to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really want me to be fired, you damn scammer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another security guard!” Chen Ke shouted in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security guards quickly surrounded Bai Xiaosheng, and he began to panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a commanding shout echoed through, filled with authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke and the security guards turned around, only to be startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, by the elevator, Shang Wenshu was running over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang, the general manager, that dignified middle-aged man, the unflappable Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang in the face of adversity, was sprinting over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke stared with wide eyes, feeling that the scene was so surreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang had run up to the reception, even slightly out of breath, with beads of sweat forming on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gone was the usual composure, solid as Mount Tai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it you!” Shang Wenshu, disregarding the stares of those around him, fixed his gaze on the only unfamiliar face and asked with a quivering voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see!” Shang Wenshu’s adam’s apple bobbed, he said urgently, his eyes flickering with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng knew what he was asking for and took out his ID card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang Wenshu didn’t reach out to take it, instead intently examining it again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To my office, let’s have a nice chat,” Shang Wenshu, overflowing with enthusiasm, smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng politely nodded, pocketed his card, and followed Shang Wenshu towards the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Chen Ke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See, I’m not a conman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng said with his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ke stood there, dumbfounded, watching the two leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a long while before she came back to her senses, incredulously turning to the security guard beside her, still in shock, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang personally came down to ‘invite’ him upstairs!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.304Z",1,"novelbin.me","e3958a366b8b14f8b37d4076038b12c16024cce74c611ae4dec7bcb89ca633b6","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-13","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-11",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
