summon two servants and gave them some quiet instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servants hurried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short while, they each returned, shouldering an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests were momentarily startled by the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What test was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two servants brought out two easels, and they propped them up back to back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting, it’s turned into a literary gathering today, from music to art,” someone joked with a laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of laughter echoed from the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran picked up two paintbrushes and handed one to Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo, positioning them in front of their respective easels; then she took the microphone, gesturing for silence and announced, “Now, let me explain the contents of the competition!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd immediately fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran began leisurely, “All of you here are senior management talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You all understand what we, as general managers, compete with: ability, literacy and knowledge reserves!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These are paramount to our professional careers and the development of our companies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, many people study, and those in higher positions are even more motivated to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some study management, some philosophy, others calligraphy, and yet others foreign languages.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words had many heads nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they dared not slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corporate competitive pressure was immense, and standing still meant falling behind, with so many people eyeing each position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran went on, “In a moment, I’ll name three books: one on management, one on economics, and one on interpersonal relations—three classics, and I will announce their titles in the languages of their authors’ respective countries for the two participants to write down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, I will recite some famous phrases in philosophy, humanities, and management studies in Chinese, and you’ll need to either name the author, share your understanding, or complete the sentence when I give the first half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In total, there will be ten questions!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests were immediately amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of this knowledge assessment was far from simple!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It involved multiple languages, reading comprehension, and knowledge reserves, as well as the competitors’ mindset and blackboard skills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze was also surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not expected Song Yanran to go to such lengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, these should be Chen Changluo’s forte; although Bai is talented and versatile, he may not be as proficient in these areas!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze grew somewhat anxious, her palms sweating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the competition was about to start, and she could not stop it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she felt Bai Xiaosheng might be willing to lose, it didn’t entirely seem that way to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was full of energy, looking serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not appear to be taking it lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll start now, so please everyone step back and don’t crowd around, so as not to affect their emotions or performance,” Song Yanran said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The easels were actually set up beside the band, not in the center of the venue, so some people had moved closer, wanting a better look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really, Song Yanran’s words were directed more at Zhao Qianze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She feared Zhao Qianze might secretly help Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For fairness, I’ll step back too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran said this and then stepped forward three paces, turning her back to Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, others followed Song Yanran’s lead and did not advance any further, including a helpless Zhao Qianze who distanced herself as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Chen Changluo, with a smug smile, lean in and whisper to Bai Xiaosheng, “Brother Bai, try not to lose too disgracefully!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within this week, I’ll send someone over, so make arrangements then,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo blinked, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you lose to me and owe me half a year’s service, naturally I’ll need to send someone with the materials for you to get to work,” Bai Xiaosheng said matter-of-factly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You!” Chen Changluo, now understanding, felt a surge of anger, “Alright, let’s wait and see who wins and who loses!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attention, gentlemen, we’re about to begin!” Song Yanran called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two competitors promptly focused, waiting intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran’s voice emitted a string of odd sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five seconds, she switched to a second language, and after another five, to a third.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three book titles, three languages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read only once, with only five seconds of pause!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo both wrote furiously, but what they wrote remained invisible to the onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished reading out the titles, Song Yanran paused for a moment before continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where does the saying ‘What is valued above will be followed below’ come from, and what does it mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“‘Life is a never-ending factory where there is no place for the lazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Create!’ Who said this, and what other famous sayings did he have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Write down one of them at random.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran then asked seven more questions, including three book titles, making a total of ten test questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone craned their necks, trying to see what those two were writing, but unfortunately, either the angle was wrong, or the distance was too far, and they couldn’t see clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, seeing Chen Changluo’s excited and confident face, it was clear he was more assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I bet Chen Changluo will win this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, Miss Song has a special relationship with him, so naturally she would ask something he’s good at.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But still, you can’t say Chen Changluo’s victory would be undeserved, these questions are indeed not simple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe, Bai Xiaosheng agreed to let Miss Song set the questions because he intended to lose on purpose, after all, Chen Changluo is a Chen Family Member…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was abuzz with conjecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze was somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiutian and Chen Jiuzheng, however, slightly furrowed their brows, they didn’t want Chen Changluo to win, him losing would be to their advantage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Beichen thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qinghong, on the other hand, was somewhat hopeful, he wanted to see Bai Xiaosheng lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a corner, there was someone who also wanted Bai Xiaosheng to win—Chen Changqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, seeing Chen Changluo’s discomfiture upon losing, he was extremely pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes later, Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Changluo both stopped writing at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran turned around, glanced at them, and pronounced the Chinese translations of the three books, then said to them, “Please turn your drawing boards around, facing everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment of truth had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, not so fast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo was eager, but Bai Xiaosheng suddenly spoke up, stopping him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo was taken aback for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unhurried, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said to everyone, “I don’t mind the person who set the questions, but I have a suggestion for the final judge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo became immediately vigilant, “Isn’t it better for everyone to judge together!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, you want Miss Zhao to be the judge, then wouldn’t you be sure to win!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled and spoke for himself, “Here, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiutian is the most authoritative, so, I would like to invite him to be the first judge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, I would like to invite Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Qinghong from our training class to be the second judge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And finally, I would like to invite a trusted colleague, who is also a Chen Family Member, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changqing, to be the third judge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Bai Xiaosheng named these three people, the whole place was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo stared in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanran and Zhao Qianze were also incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three judges, with two being Chen Family Members!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you agree?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if Chen Changluo would disagree!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were Zheng Qinghong, he was Bai Xiaosheng’s adversary!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I agree to your proposal!” Chen Changluo even said impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, you really intend to concede!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qianze sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiutian, Zheng Qinghong, and Chen Changqing, all three were surprised by Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion but agreed to be the judges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately left their seats and stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng looked at Chen Changluo and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Changluo, you’ve rejoiced too soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might not have noticed, but I saw it—your family’s uncle, Uncle, is extremely anxious about you winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s in his interest for you to lose!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s more in my interest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your cousin Chen Changqing has such hostility in his eyes when he looks at you, he’s likely been oppressed by you, now’s his chance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he doesn’t seek revenge, if I let Chen Jiutian start speaking, would he dare to contradict Chen Jiutian’s opinion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zheng Qinghong, his opinion doesn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng tossed his pen and said with a smile, “Let’s reveal the answers now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome held no suspense for him!\u003C\u002Fp>",1452,"2026-06-05T17:42:43.221Z",1,"novelbin.me","3779214a9fa8de3a12924ca19cc33a709b4cf9c9d8dcd1d0236d85e5260542f7","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-709","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-707",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
