499 You Really Dare to Think!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Seeking Subscriptions)_1 Zhongjing City Government, Mayor’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Ji Mingyang sat behind his desk, dealing with a pile of tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since starting at 8:30, he had been sitting for a full hour and a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, he didn’t drink any water, use the restroom, or take any breaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Ji Mingyang’s work habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In earlier years, he could maintain this state for two hours, but not anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was getting on in years and his body couldn’t take it anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the clock struck ten, the small alarm clock on his desk began to chime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was placed there by Zhang Meng as a reminder for Mayor Ji to pay attention to the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the alarm sounded, the office door was pushed open, and Zhang Meng brought in a cup of hot tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea, brewed with boiling water, was meant to calm and soothe the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was too hot to drink right away and needed to cool down a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cooling time was Mayor Ji’s rest period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he would chat with Zhang Meng about something interesting to refresh his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor, it’s time to take a break!” Zhang Meng said softly as she placed the tea on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm,” Ji Mingyang stood up, stretched his body, and headed to the restroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few steps out, Mayor Ji stopped and asked, “Has it been a few days without any news from Bai Xiaosheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Zhang Meng shook her head and asked, “Should I give him a nudge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need, let him think it over more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t want to rush things,” Ji Mingyang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his words, a trace of impatience could be seen in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two to three days had passed by, putting them further behind Langbei City’s Tianzheng Media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the rival company about to submit their phase two review and increasing their progress gap, Mayor Ji was nearly unable to sit still with patience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ji Mingyang left the office, Zhang Meng’s face also took on a complicated expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tell that the Mayor was anxious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with thousands of issues daily, and also worrying about Zhongjing Media’s application for benchmark enterprise status, Zhang Meng felt a bit sorry for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, I’ll just give Bai Xiaosheng a call to inquire quietly,” Zhang Meng couldn’t help but reach for his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could call Bai Xiaosheng, a call came in—it was Bai Xiaosheng himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng answered eagerly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Secretary Zhang, does the Mayor have a moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would like to report to him,” Bai Xiaosheng’s calm voice was like timely rain to Zhang Meng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He does!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll arrange it, come over now!” Zhang Meng said urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange, Zhang Meng ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office door opened just as Mayor Ji had returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor, Bai Xiaosheng will arrive shortly to make his report!” Zhang Meng immediately informed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Mayor Ji’s expression visibly brightened, “That means the kid might have some good news for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps!” Zhang Meng couldn’t help feeling a bit expectant as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hoped that Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t disappoint them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng specifically called over a secretary to wait for Bai Xiaosheng at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not a courtesy extended to just anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting that up, Zhang Meng continued to chat with Mayor Ji about the latest news from various circles within Zhongjing City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These circles included both the salaried class and the wealthy elite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng was responsible for gathering these stories, which he would share with Mayor Ji during these fragmented times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, Mayor Ji could relax while staying informed about the dynamics of Zhongjing, a practice that killed several birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about Bai Xiaosheng’s increasing prominence and the endless rumors surrounding him, Mayor Ji almost laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that our Zhongjing Media General Manager has become quite the celebrity, very well-known indeed,” Mayor Ji chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe he’s not even aware of it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I give him a hint?” Zhang Meng laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, what can Bai Xiaosheng do about other people’s gossip?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them talk if they like; Bai Xiaosheng probably won’t care anyway,” Ji Mingyang said with a smile, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true,” Zhang Meng said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the tea was finished, a knock came at the office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the secretary walked in with Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng immediately smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speak of the devil, and he shall appear—Bai Xiaosheng was summoned by mere mention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor Ji, Secretary Zhang,” Bai Xiaosheng greeted them both.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it was just the three of them, there was no need for formalities, and they were completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The mayor and I have been waiting for you for a long time, hoping you would bring us a surprise,” Zhang Meng said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang looked at Bai Xiaosheng with an amused expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surprise… I suppose there might be some,” Bai Xiaosheng said with an oddly quirky smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took two printed documents out of his bag and handed one to each, Ji Mingyang and Zhang Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’d like to ask for the mayor’s and Secretary Zhang’s review, and I welcome your guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why so formal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all friends here!” Mayor Ji teased with a laugh, taking the printouts—there was quite a stack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed them on the desk in front of him, put on his reading glasses, and skimmed through at a rapid pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading a little more than one page, Ji Mingyang’s expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His smile faded, and his eyes revealed surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To surpass Tianzheng Media of Langbei City by conventional means is clearly inadequate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need an unorthodox approach—this strategy might be a bit unconventional,” Bai Xiaosheng warned ahead, as if giving the mayor a heads-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang did not express any agreement or disagreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Zhang Meng stood by reading his copy, also scanning the documents quickly and covering more than one page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng’s expression underwent a drastic change, filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng dared to think big!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was essentially about rallying the whole city around Zhongjing Media to fight a supporting battle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was that such a bold move, with such an impressive scale—this wasn’t just an offbeat play as Bai Xiaosheng had described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like deploying heavy artillery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The command of “fire” would startle all directions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would the other prefecture-level cities view this, and how would the provincial leaders see it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, have you gone mad!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was really ahead of the game—not by a little, but by a great deal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng couldn’t help but swallow hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Bai Xiaosheng, he exclaimed in shock, “This is a bit too, a bit too…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng wanted to say it was “a bit too exaggerated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, quite interesting!” Mayor Ji suddenly interjected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a very serious tone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng looked at the mayor in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Ji was known for his pioneering spirit and foresight, but he was not one to lose touch with reality or run blindly towards an idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a man of action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, did he agree with Bai Xiaosheng’s outrageous proposal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor, be mindful of the impact!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you took this step and it slipped, you might find yourself in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng wanted to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, since you find it interesting, shall we give it a try?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really grab any opportunity to climb higher!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng couldn’t resist the urge to roll his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s give it a try!” Mayor Ji said, giving the desk a light slap and laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was one of resignation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.584Z",1,"novelbin.me","ccaca84d03e217a0269ebeced0acd8b2c29a094128b0653f5885978beb25fb77","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-500","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-498",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
