Wen glared right back at Sheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither of them had expected to meet under such circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, what are you doing here?” a woman exclaimed from behind Ai Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng looked at her, and it was Xu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fang was dressed in a black suit and stockings, looking every bit the office worker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Sheng didn’t know was that after being “abandoned” by Ai Wen, Xu Fang had somehow turned the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How she had managed to do it, no one knew, but Ai Wen had apparently developed a renewed “fondness” for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but today Ai Wen had even made Xu Fang transform and serve as his “personal assistant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this setting, Xu Fang’s behavior was quite appropriate, and she looked the part, it was only her sudden encounter with Sheng that had caught her off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the three of them were engaged in a standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What, do you know each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man with slightly balding hair and triangular eyes asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Ai Wen’s father, the client’s boss, Ai Shili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng’s boss, Liu Xun, also watched in surprise as Sheng and Ai Wen faced off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected any bad blood between them and thought they were just old acquaintances, his eyes lighting up instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, a relationship between the two was beneficial for facilitating a deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, we’re old acquaintances!” Ai Wen regained his usual demeanor, even giving Sheng a sinister smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, I and young Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai made quite the impression on each other!” Sheng said, his words laden with significance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, that’s good to hear,” Ai Shili said as he headed straight for the main seat, continuing, “Young Ai, you should meet more of these capable talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t be afraid of lowering your status, just scoop these talents up for our company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai is joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of talent could we small companies possibly have that could compare to Ai Wen?” Sheng’s boss, Liu Xun, said with a laugh, following behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both bosses seemed oblivious to the subtlety of the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng and Ai Wen exchanged looks, Sheng noticing the excitement in Ai Wen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng returned the smile with a provocative air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rich second generation really knows how to keep his cool, Sheng reflected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hear your proposal isn’t bad,” Ai Wen said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We still need much guidance from young Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, you will get it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each harboring their own thoughts, they smiled and headed to their respective seats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai, this is our Deputy Director, Zhou Tiansheng,” Liu Xun introduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai.” Zhou Tiansheng nodded and bowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, we’ve met before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou is a good employee,” Ai Shili nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xun smiled and said to Zhou, “How did the report you submitted go, is Deputy Director Pan satisfied?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Satisfied, very satisfied,” Zhou Tiansheng quickly nodded, looking at Deputy Director Pan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai, we’ve worked together on many details, it’s a very good proposal,” Deputy Director Pan said with evident approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both bosses nodded in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu, it’s great that the proposal passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s have lunch together later,” said Ai Shili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, great!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time I’ll host,” Liu responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two bosses chatted easily, looking like this meeting would conclude smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Sheng sat there, smiling at Ai Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter wouldn’t be so simple, Sheng was waiting for Ai Wen’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen, who had been flipping through the planning proposal, suddenly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu, I think this project—still needs to be discussed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Shili cast an unexpected glance at his own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, then let’s hear what you have to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all ears,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xun and Zhou Tiansheng were slightly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen, about this plan—shall I go over it with you again?” Zhou Tiansheng hurriedly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?” Ai Wen gave a smile that did not reach his eyes, glancing at Zhou Tiansheng, then at Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His target was not Zhou Tiansheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Tiansheng found Ai Wen’s attitude slightly embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This proposal, at first glance, seems not bad,” Ai Wen said slowly and methodically to Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent time on it last night and had even specifically consulted with an experienced planner at the company that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consulted about what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the planner who loved to find faults actually couldn’t stop praising the project, which was not what Ai Wen needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed problems, a chance to show himself in front of Ai Shili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did I expect that my preparation would bring an unexpected surprise!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen looked meaningfully at Bai Xiaosheng, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been slapped in the face yesterday, today he would take back tenfold!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I will be blunt; this planning proposal is exceedingly vague, lacking sufficient data support, with subjective and speculative conclusions,” Ai Wen said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this level of work, are you trying to pull the wool over our eyes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our advertising budget of over a million, and this is what we get in return!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Smack, Ai Wen slammed the planning proposal down on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xun and Zhou Tiansheng looked at Ai Wen in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a complete lack of respect for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Shili’s brow furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen, share your assessment then,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen nodded, full of confidence, and chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You dare to schedule a whole year’s advertising after comparing just six months of data, and I also didn’t see any data analysis on trends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite the confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Data, for promotional schemes, is just a kind of support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if one were to seriously nitpick, indeed, there is room to elaborate!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Tiansheng’s face turned a shade paler, and Liu Xun looked even more displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Wen, pressing on, said, “Or are you saying you’ve memorized the whole year’s data by heart, just like a computer, knowing whatever I ask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well then, let’s have a try.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just so happen to have internal data from a research firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you respond fluently and accurately?” Ai Wen smirked, pulling out a tablet, and even projected the screen for all to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Shili’s eyes brightened, a smile playing on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether Ai Wen was deliberately causing trouble or truly thought there were issues with the planning proposal, as a father, he felt extremely gratified and even admiring, naturally supporting his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu, what do you have to say?” Ai Shili asked leisurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, haha, we certainly have a clear understanding of the data,” Liu Xun said, sweat beading on his forehead, glancing at Zhou Tiansheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou, you’re in charge of this project, you explain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Tiansheng’s face was full of bitterness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know a damn thing; even if he had really looked at the data, memorizing it by heart was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s have Bai Xiaosheng explain,” Zhou Tiansheng said, sweat forming on his brow as he bowed his head under Liu Xun’s stern gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was the one who worked on the proposal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xun was taken aback, then glared fiercely at Zhou Tiansheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt like killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Zhou Tiansheng wouldn’t fully take charge of the project, but he didn’t expect him to know absolutely nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll see how I deal with you when we get back!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Xun was almost driven mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Deputy Director Pan, it’s understandable if you don’t know,” Ai Wen said, his pen twirling quickly in his hand as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng with an intense gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if the main planner doesn’t know, I think you shouldn’t bother working in this industry anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right, Bai Xiaosheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1309,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.304Z",1,"novelbin.me","b3953b24d052bb510139b6c06b805eda44b33360a17789f96f5b59cd29bed624","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-9","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-7",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
