Work Overtime_1 “I’m talking about this Thursday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need a finished draft, ready for the printer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mingtong couldn’t help but remind Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly wondered if he hadn’t made himself clear, otherwise why would Bai Xiaosheng have that expression on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, what’s there to be excited about!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Thursday, a draft ready for the printer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I understand!” Bai Xiaosheng nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrogant, way too arrogant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you really think I wouldn’t dare touch you if you don’t complete it?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mingtong mistakenly thought that Bai Xiaosheng was fearless, relying on the backing of Shang Wenshu to be so bold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold laugh surfaced in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, you’ve guessed wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, Manager Bai is truly a capable man!” Li Mingtong maintained his composure and smiled, “In a moment, I’ll have the admin issue an assignment sheet to you all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s just a formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You just have to sign it casually, and it’s done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was anything but a formality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assignment sheet was an ironclad military order!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a new measure recently introduced by Chen Daya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t complete the task, you accept the penalty, and pleading makes no difference!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Daya, this trap, is now snug around Bai Xiaosheng’s neck, with so many eyes watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll see what you do when the time comes!” Li Mingtong sneered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black on white, even if Shang Wenshu comes, Bai Xiaosheng won’t be able to escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Li Mingtong’s mood improved considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.” Bai Xiaosheng stood up to take his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt very content inside and was even eager to get back to start working.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The managerial position, here I come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t see you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mingtong and Bai Xiaosheng, each harboring their own thoughts, exchanged a contented smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Bai Xiaosheng left, Li Mingtong immediately phoned the admin department to issue the assignment sheet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to seal the deal quickly to avoid any potential complications that might arise with delay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the marketing department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang, Song, and Yezi were all anxiously waiting, analyzing all the possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The project gossip had spread everywhere, with various rumors about how Bai Xiaosheng got rid of Wu Qiuyan—none knowing if they were true or false.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond shock, Wang and the others were filled with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, there was a clash of interests, and now personal grievances were involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could things possibly end well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just about Bai Xiaosheng; the marketing department could also be implicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang and the others weren’t concerned about implications per se; they were mainly worried about Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had all become sincere friends after a few gatherings, and their affection for one another grew stronger every day—they truly saw each other as friends!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were anxious like ants on a hot pan, Bai Xiaosheng returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile was on his face, and there was even a hint of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang, Song, and Yezi were somewhat relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t faced any particular difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Li Mingtong wanted to avoid disputes at this time, or perhaps he didn’t want to fall out too badly with Chen Daya and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, as long as there was no trouble, it was good!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Bai, what did you talk about in Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li’s office?” Yezi asked bluntly, unable to contain her curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He gave us some tasks.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled nonchalantly, “The admin department will send over the assignment sheet in a little while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Bai Xiaosheng had almost planned out how to tackle the work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mingtong had assigned work and issued an assignment sheet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang and the others tensed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s expression, they relaxed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the assignment sheet, it couldn’t be that difficult a task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you ask me, we should take the initiative instead of being passive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strike first!” Yezi suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean by ‘taking the initiative’?” Song adjusted his glasses, asking curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It means working overtime,” Wang said, catching on to Yezi’s idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly!” Yezi clapped her hands proudly, “Take the initiative to work overtime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, taking the initiative was working overtime, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song thought about it and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The marketing department had had a lot of free time lately, causing complaints from other departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Volunteering for overtime can be a good gesture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As several people were talking, the door to the promotion department was knocked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the junior receptionist walked in, holding two task sheets in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Manager Bai, please sign these,” the receptionist handed the task sheets to Bai Xiaosheng, waiting, as she needed to take one back for filing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng took them, glanced at them, and swiftly signed his name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist looked at Bai Xiaosheng with admiration in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After retrieving the task sheet, she looked at Wang and the others, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys need to take care of yourselves these next few days, don’t work yourselves sick,” the receptionist said with sincere advice before she left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take care of yourselves, don’t work yourselves sick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang, Song, and the others exchanged baffled glances, not understanding what she meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi walked over and picked up the copy of the task sheet left on Bai Xiaosheng’s desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s for compiling books, and there’s folding to be done,” Yezi read, “Next Thursday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm, the timing is pretty tight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang and Song nodded slightly, less than two weeks seemed reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not next week, it’s this week,” Bai Xiaosheng reminded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Thursday?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yezi’s eyes widened as she scrutinized the task sheet closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It really is this Thursday!” she exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the folding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A book to compile in three or four days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just to get a rough draft would take five days!” Wang said in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not a rough draft, it’s the final product, ready for the printers,” Bai Xiaosheng reminded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Final product, ready for the printers?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang and the others looked bewildered, still watching the calm and composed Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>assignment given to them by Li Mingtong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like putting a noose around their necks, a death sentence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai, you agreed to this?” Wang asked incredulously, feeling his question was redundant after asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task sheet was already signed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang took the task sheet and instantly noticed the details of the rewards and punishments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reward was huge, but the punishment was even greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an unequal contract!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Bai Xiaosheng, a man of his cleverness, agree to this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did he threaten you with our whole department!” Song blurted out, his speculation resonating strongly with Wang and Yezi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s character was inflexible; if it were just himself, Li Mingtong wouldn’t have been able to threaten him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, Bai Xiaosheng compromised because of them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang and the others unanimously came to this conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t overthink it, I took the assignment, and I’m confident about completing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the unlikely event that I don’t, I have plenty of money to cover the fines, no need for you guys to chip in,” Bai Xiaosheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was aiming for extra credit but would never let his people suffer a loss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Bai Xiaosheng’s principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that said, Wang and the others were even more convinced of their guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to speak to Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen, why should Li Mingtong push people around like this!” Yezi said, filled with righteous indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The task sheet’s already signed, it’s no use!” Song reminded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s do overtime!” Wang said through gritted teeth, and upon hearing Wang, Song and Yezi, with serious expressions, nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, they could only give their all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overtime?” Bai Xiaosheng looked at the three of them and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys did remind me, I, as the manager, shouldn’t start my role too quietly, I need to set some rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first rule is—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From today on, our department will not do any overtime!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1362,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","985f447cbcfd79ff20b39f45ecbf224764971866c4eb25072bbdd5009aec75bf","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-55","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-53",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
