The time was noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was in a good mood, and invited Song Yiming and Lin Weiwei to have lunch with him at the employee cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The employee cafeteria had “private rooms” as well, which were small rooms for four, each with a glass door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nice to close the door, eat, and talk inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was sitting inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His large plate contained crispy roast duck, sweet and sour pork slices, stir-fried vegetables, fried mushrooms, a steamed bun, a freshly baked flatbread, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It all looked quite sumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When in a good mood, one naturally has a better appetite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yiming’s plate was equally rich, with tender fried pork loin, Mei Cai Kou Rou, mixed stir-fry, and jellyfish salad with vinegar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Weiwei’s meal was much simpler, consisting solely of green vegetables and vegetarian dishes, without any staple food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t a vegetarian, but today was her dieting day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the food, Bai Xiaosheng was eager to eat, but he had hardly taken a few bites when his phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this?” Bai Xiaosheng put down his chopsticks reluctantly and took out his phone to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the name, Bai Xiaosheng was startled, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Ji Mingyang’s private number, not accessible to the average person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng quickly answered the phone and put it to his ear, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji, you wanted to see me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, what are you up to?” Ji Mingyang’s tone was gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eating.” Bai Xiaosheng said, somewhat puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What else could he be doing at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji, have you eaten yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, come join us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food is pretty good at our cafeteria!” Bai Xiaosheng joked with the mayor, chattering away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Weiwei and Song Yiming couldn’t help but admire him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just look, only their Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai could talk to the mayor like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng!” Ji Mingyang’s voice paused, and in that pause, a hint of heaviness could be discerned, “I have something to tell you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng sensed something was amiss, and his smile faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s happened, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Bai Xiaosheng’s change of expression and hearing his words, Lin Weiwei and Song Yiming exchanged glances and also put down their chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like something serious had happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tianzheng Media from Langbei City reported to the provincial authorities an hour ago and has…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>passed,” Ji Mingyang said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was slightly taken aback, then his expression became somber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the phone, Ji Mingyang continued, “The minister has confirmed that they are the first to acquire the provincial benchmark enterprise spot, and that’s set in stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for us…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>we…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang hesitated, uncertain how best to convey the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongjing Media was just a step behind in timing, that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of outcome, it was a matter of heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enterprises from other municipalities might be slower in the review process, but that didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t face the issue of duplication or homogenization, and if they passed the assessment, they would secure a spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The authorities wanted to establish benchmarks in various industries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongjing Media was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was superior to most other enterprises, so what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the ten provincial benchmark enterprise spots, the one belonging to the media industry had already been snatched away by Tianzheng Media!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no spot left for Zhongjing Media!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Zhongjing Media could only watch helplessly as other, sometimes inferior, enterprises surpassed it and claimed the spots and honors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang was also upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, the minister’s message is that we shouldn’t overvalue these superficial honors but should focus on doing our own work, which is the correct path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope you won’t be too upset,” Ji Mingyang sighed, “Keep the briefing for tomorrow as scheduled, I hope that you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>can adjust your mood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, Ji Mingyang quietly waited for Bai Xiaosheng’s response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger, grievance, shouting, and yelling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang had prepared himself for the onslaught of negative emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Bai Xiaosheng was still a young man, and no matter what his reaction would be, Ji Mingyang understood and was ready to accommodate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji, I’m aware,” Bai Xiaosheng finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice, as always, was calm and even devoid of any ripples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We will be ready and face tomorrow’s report with all our might,” Bai Xiaosheng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no sense of grievance, no protestations, just his usual equanimity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tranquility made Ji Mingyang want to cheer him on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One may lose a battle but not lose their poise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, well done!” Ji Mingyang exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaosheng saw Lin Weiwei and Song Yiming gazing intently at him and immediately smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s nothing, let’s eat!” Bai Xiaosheng said just four words and then, without another word, buried his head in his food, wolfing it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this minor setback anyway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, Bai Xiaosheng, had been framed in college, had suffered far more grievances in Tiannan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this slight defeat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Weiwei and Song Yiming exchanged a hesitant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t heard what Ji Mingyang said, nor could they gather any information from Bai Xiaosheng’s words, but they knew—something was amiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, since Bai Xiaosheng didn’t speak of it, they didn’t ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While eating, Bai Xiaosheng seemed a bit distracted, his gaze flickering but not showing a trace of dejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst-case scenario had not been something he hadn’t considered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhongjing, city hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang sat in his chair, silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Meng sighed softly at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the drive back the day the third-phase report was completed, he had still been thinking about what to do in case of failure, not expecting it to really happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had seemed open-minded then, now that it had come to a head, even he felt a twinge of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After working so hard for so long, and with success seemingly within reach, they had stumbled at the last hurdle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor, please take it easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s come to this now, and just like you said to Bai Xiaosheng, one may lose a battle but not lose their poise,” Zhang Meng hardly knew how to offer consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang sighed, “I’m fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not about me, I just think it’s unfair for Bai Xiaosheng…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was speaking when his phone rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Shu?” Ji Mingyang picked up the phone and immediately frowned, “What does she want by calling now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of courtesy, Ji Mingyang answered nonetheless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ji, how are you feeling now?” Mayor Su Shu laughed over the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel fine, Su Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You seem to be in a good mood as well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Congratulations!” Ji Mingyang snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, thank you,” Mayor Su Shu giggled over the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can imagine your expression just from the sound of your voice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, Ji Mingyang, how often have you lost to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One or two times wouldn’t make much difference to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you call just to mock me?” Ji Mingyang snorted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s more of a sympathizing visit… Plus, I just wanted to check on your mood!” Su Shu laughed, “Ji, I have to tell you, losing is no shame for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Mu Beichen of mine is ten years older than your Bai Xiaosheng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In experience, competence, and capability, he is far beyond him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me, how could you win?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is, you chose the wrong person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Mingyang remained silent, and after a long moment, he spoke seriously into the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Su Shu, you can mock me, that’s fine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mocking Bai Xiaosheng, that’s not okay!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t think that just because Mu Beichen has luckily won once, he is stronger than Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll never understand the kind of miracles a person like Bai Xiaosheng can create!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-05T17:42:41.265Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d17e3bb54feb0e2c498b5015c3e4b9307db02620b2176de0bc063260db781ee","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-581","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-579",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
