times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come in!” Song Changkong, thinking it was Chen Changqing or Bai Xiaosheng, responded in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was his own assistant who entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song, the film department’s evening reception is almost ready at the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You mentioned you’d like to take a look, when would that be?” the assistant inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changkong furrowed his brow and, after a moment’s thought, replied, “Wait a bit, I’ll check the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a while, I still need to talk with two vice managers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You go ahead first, see what the specific situation is over there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant nodded and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the door opened, he saw Chen Changqing standing outside, hand raised, about to knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen is here,” the assistant called out to Song Changkong and then greeted Chen Changqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing nodded casually, without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new vice manager sure is arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t possibly argue with a vice manager, so he tiptoed out, closing the door gently behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he turned around, he saw someone rushing over in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running back and forth in the company, what kind of behavior is that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to hold back, Song Changkong’s assistant was about to reprimand when he recognized the person coming and was immediately taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t that Bai Xiaosheng, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s anxious and breathless appearance, the assistant knew there must be an emergency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With haste, he knocked on the door for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you!” Despite his urgency, Bai Xiaosheng did not forget to flash a smile at him, before pushing the door and entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai is really modest and polite!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this respect, he is much better than Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing the two, Song Changkong’s assistant couldn’t help but silently praise, his impression of Bai Xiaosheng improving further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai, you’re here too, perfect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Bai Xiaosheng enter, Song Changkong nodded, stood up from his seat, and pointing at his computer screen, said to Chen Changqing, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, come take a look at this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing hesitated for a moment before walking over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Song Changkong’s computer, an article was open with enlarged type, clear enough to read without sitting down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing quickly skimmed over several hundred words, his complexion changed, and he voluntarily grabbed the mouse to scroll down and finish reading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, his face looked even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song, this…” Chen Changqing couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t panic, there’s more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close this one and continue reading!” Song Changkong gestured with his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several articles were open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, Chen Changqing scrolled through each article, his expression growing uglier after each one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the end, Chen Changqing looked considerably more somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, I can understand your desire for performance and competition between departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I even support both of your departments competing fairly and justly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changkong patted Chen Changqing on the shoulder, heaved a sigh, and spoke earnestly, “However, we must give priority to the bigger picture and not just focus on short-lived achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actions that harm the department and tarnish the company’s image are absolutely unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You ought to know the effects of online criticism, how one thing leads to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way you’re boosting performance is no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changkong appeared deeply distressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng watched from the side, finding the scene rather amusing deep down, yet he managed to keep a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing looked at Song Changkong, opening his mouth as if to say something, but Song Changkong halted him with a gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dear Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, I’m not saying this to blame or lecture you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m merely offering a heads-up as someone who’s been in the business world for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s not dwell on the ins and outs of the situation for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What needs to be done is to mitigate the damage as much as possible,” Song Changkong implored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already spoken in this manner; he clearly intended to prevent the continuation of the game department’s activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing frowned as he glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, then turned his gaze to the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a general manager, Song Changkong usually didn’t have time to browse the internet, let alone reviewing documents like these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that there was a problem, it would have been sufficient to call him for a talk, but Bai Xiaosheng was also summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious, this was Bai Xiaosheng’s doing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing immediately scoffed, “These materials, they were discovered by Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly befitting a news professional, very efficient indeed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing didn’t suspect that Bai Xiaosheng had someone create the issue, but rather assumed they had a specialized team monitoring negative news online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s only right, only right!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a face full of modesty, utterly sincere, “It’s all for the good of the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things damage the company’s interests and tarnish the game department’s reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, if such issues arise while you’re in charge, should I hide them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this blows up later, it won’t look good for Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Bai Xiaosheng yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There you go, just yesterday we worked overtime, stayed up until late at night, only then did we manage to clear some of the significant negative news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, I guarantee that you won’t find a single one of these provocative articles online!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was lying through his teeth and had the gall to take credit for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, he clearly went to bed early and had a good night’s sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slight puffiness under his eyes was due to drinking too much water before bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true night owl with dark circles under his eyes was Chen Changqing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, these articles had never been posted online, so of course, they couldn’t be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I should thank you for that,” Chen Changqing retorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks needed, let’s get straight to the real work at hand,” Bai Xiaosheng modestly replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed, now is not the time for idle chat, we must, as soon as possible, eliminate any potential risks at the nascent stage!” Song Changkong said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you imply by that?” Chen Changqing asked, slightly frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their overnight calculations, those activities absolutely couldn’t stop—if they did, it would mean defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they didn’t stop, the problem was already there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the severity, there was no need for Song Changkong to stress it; Chen Changqing could well imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You need to have the game department cease all activities immediately, and switch to player-appreciation type events, giving away some virtual items that would normally require money to purchase, for free,” Song Changkong instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Halt the activities and give things away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing’s eyelid twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In online games, virtual items are not simply some data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment they are put on the market and exchanged for real silver, their properties are no different from those of actual goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The things given away in appreciation also require money to be spent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who would the money come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the game department would pay, and from where within the game department?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, from the existing performance figures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only would the performance halt its growth, but there would also be a deduction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing felt stifled in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there a problem?!” Song Changkong stared at him, demanding an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By doing this, he, Chen Changqing, would lose, losing to Bai Xiaosheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But could he refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To reject the general manager’s reasonable request on the spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To play the tough guy?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing couldn’t do that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And besides, if Song Changkong were to report this, even with Chen Changqing’s significant backing, he might not escape unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damaging the company’s interest was equivalent to harming the group’s interest, a charge too heavy for him to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have no objections!” Chen Changqing took a deep breath, his composure intact, “I’ll get right on it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Chen Changqing, may lose to a person but never in presence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Changkong nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Chen Changqing left the general manager’s office together with Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them uttered a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai, congratulations, you’ve won this round!” Chen Changqing said calmly to Bai Xiaosheng, “My game department concedes defeat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Chen Changqing didn’t look back and strode away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, Bai Xiaosheng’s voice was sincere, “It’s all for the company…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, if there’s anything I can help with, just say the word, don’t be shy!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1475,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","731986959a1edcadc4081ccbbda6344d8ff5e72e1604b18be420c5581851151e","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-279","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-277",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
