had acquired a significant number of shares in another municipal media enterprise—Tongshi Tiancheng, becoming its largest shareholder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This piece of news is rather interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a slightly hot cup of red tea in his hand, Bai Xiaosheng held his breath, concentrating deeply as he read through the article meticulously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mergers and expansions are common in any industry and are nothing special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when one of the main characters in the affair is Mu Beichen, Bai Xiaosheng becomes interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Tongshi Tiancheng isn’t just any third-rate company; they are a legitimate private enterprise, even a joint-stock one!” Bai Xiaosheng murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the help of Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng quickly learned about Tongshi Tiancheng’s situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being a joint-stock company proved that this private enterprise was quite sizable and that the owner wasn’t conservative in his thinking, showing he wasn’t a simple character!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he was still defeated by Mu Beichen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was… the time Mu Beichen took to defeat the opponent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A week ago, there was news indicating that Tongshi Tiancheng had formed a strategic alliance with another municipal media company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some commentary suggested that this was to confront Tianzheng Media’s entry into the market and to stop them from seizing market share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later, Tongshi Tiancheng was finished, and the other company also seemed to have been heavily hit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It only took… a week’s time!” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he felt it was a bit exaggerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what Bai Xiaosheng didn’t know was that Mu Beichen had been laying the groundwork for this for a long time and was well prepared for everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To win was simply the final phase!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Bai Xiaosheng’s every thought would be met with Red Lotus providing him with countless related news articles and data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But whether it is online news or information, it is all posted by people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the secretive aspects of the matter would not be so quickly revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Bai Xiaosheng would be unable to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Xiaosheng still smelled something unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Beichen’s actions, seemingly domineering, crushingly overpowering his enemies, but in today’s society, one couldn’t act unbridled just with money or connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underneath the domineering behavior, there might be cunning stratagems hidden as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng felt somewhat chilled in his heart; he sensed that in some respects, they were very much alike!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that each had different focus areas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Mu Beichen, in terms of intellect and methods, could be considered the strongest he’d encountered so far!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng even had some bad feelings about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not know that Mu Beichen had a secretary department that had been deeply rooted for ten years, spreading a network of eyes and connections throughout Anjiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The backers behind Mu Beichen were wealthy and powerful, with a terrifying amount of rolling funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent had even placed a watchful eye right beside him, exposing all his actions to Mu Beichen’s scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if two great masters were playing chess, and the opponent already knew his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was still unaware of this, but he sensed danger just by intuition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, random thoughts are useless; when the real confrontation comes, I’ll have to deal with it as it happens!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, stopping himself from pondering blindly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this point in time, Mu Beichen didn’t have to make such a big move, affecting the progress of the provincial-level benchmark enterprise’s application and his own energies…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after all, the third phase has nothing to do with scale, expansion and so on, but there is in the fourth phase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, does this mean…” Bai Xiaosheng’s brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mu Beichen will continue to apply for the third and fourth phases consecutively, the kind without interruption!” Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just from one piece of news, he could deduce to such an extent; if Mu Beichen knew, he would definitely be even more astonished and… excited about Bai Xiaosheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s speculation that Mu Beichen would apply for both phases consecutively, in reality, was strikingly similar to Mu Beichen’s plan to apply for them simultaneously!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems I need to work against the clock!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng paused with his teacup in hand, no longer in the mood to relax as he prepared to dive back into work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his phone on the table suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, it was a call from Mayor Ji Mingyang’s secretary, Zhang Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, Secretary Zhang?” Bai Xiaosheng answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai, are you busy right now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have time, could you come to City Hall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng and Bai Xiaosheng had known each other for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through their interactions, they had come to understand that when it came to business, they would get straight to the point, skipping unnecessary pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m free!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s it about, Secretary Zhang?” Bai Xiaosheng asked, quite curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s the thing, Mayor Dai Mingcheng of Tianqing City is passing through Zhongjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He and Mayor Ji are old friends, so he’s stopping by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s heard about you and would love to meet you,” Zhang Meng explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Ji’s friend, another city-level mayor from Anjiang, wanted to see him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng really couldn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll be right over,” Bai Xiaosheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His promptness naturally pleased Zhang Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Bai Xiaosheng stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had originally planned to catch up on the news and relax, but the news about Mu Beichen had prompted a stream of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from relaxing, he had exhausted countless brain cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, a trip to City Hall might be a nice distraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng used the landline to inform Feng to prepare the car and, after quickly getting ready, he descended the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs, the car was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng got in and was whisked smoothly straight to City Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After alighting from the car, Bai Xiaosheng walked in alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the City Hall lobby, the secretary met him with great enthusiasm as soon as he saw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was almost a regular visitor here, a distinguished guest of Mayor Ji Mingyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by the secretary, Bai Xiaosheng made his way to the outside of Mayor Ji Mingyang’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the secretary knocked and received permission, he opened the door for Bai Xiaosheng and then silently withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, you’re here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My old friend has been looking forward to meeting you very much!” Mayor Ji Mingyang laughed heartily upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor Ji,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the seating area across from Mayor Ji Mingyang, there sat a man of average height and build, with unremarkable features but unusually bright eyes that inspected Bai Xiaosheng with a scrutinizing look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor Dai, hello!” Bai Xiaosheng greeted with a smile, quickening his steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Dai Mingcheng of Tianqing City stood up smilingly to greet him, extending a hand, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai, I’ve heard so much about you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We were just talking about you, and my old friend here has been singing your praises!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s Mayor Ji being too kind,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Dai nodded inwardly, full of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So young, yet neither arrogant nor subservient, responding appropriately with a remarkable demeanor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them sat down in the seating area and soon were chatting and laughing together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about an hour or so, a melody suddenly rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Bai Xiaosheng’s phone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled apologetically, intending to hang up the phone, but when he saw the number calling, he was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a call he really had to take!\u003C\u002Fp>",1289,"2026-06-05T17:42:40.764Z",1,"novelbin.me","a47c93ac8937354cb5a32920ac19457142ab86bac5c037aa4f31789c115bcff3","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-529","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-527",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
